Chapter 893 (1/2)
He had no idea how exceptional little Qingchen was when it came to speed of reaction and vigilance. Neither did he know that little Qingchen had been aware of his presence ever since they left the school gates. However, he was not a threat to little Qingchen. In comparison to that man, little Qingchen was more concerned about his chocolate cake being s.n.a.t.c.hed away by that inhuman creature!
Since they were in front of the school gates, the man did not make his intentions too obvious. He was not working alone either. There was a woman following behind him, carrying a child that was around the same age as little Qingchen.
The child was ‘cargo’ that they had just managed to abduct.
Although it was a little cruel to describe a child as mere ‘cargo’, children were addressed as ‘cargo’ in this infamous trade business.
For those who made a living through trafficking women and children, they had lost their humanity a long time ago.
Children abducted by them were often slightly older and less popular compared to infants. Some of the cleverer and brighter ‘cargos’ were quickly disposed of. In certain cases, they might even be purposely handicapped before being sent off to beg, merely for the purpose of attracting sympathy.
Their operating procedure was well thought out as well. Normally, they would ensure that the ‘cargo’ was in a docile state after being abducted, just like the young child they were carrying right now.
Despite blaring car horns on such a busy street, the racket had not roused the child in the slightest. He laid slack in the woman’s arms as if he was in a deep slumber, except the fact that his eyes were red and swollen.
The man bent down to smile at little Qingchen, appearing as harmless as could be. “Hi there little one, is there a pharmacy close by? My child is sick and I would like to buy him some flu medicine.”
Little Qingchen glanced at the man without responding.
The man did not expect such a reaction, and he called out again, “Little one?”
Little Qingchen ate a spoonful of his chocolate cake before slowly replying, “Follow me, I’ll take you there.”
The man’s eyes brightened. “That’s great, thanks a lot, kid!” Children were so easily tricked after all. They would just have to wait a little longer till there was no one around before taking action.
Upon this thought, the man turned to exchange a look with the woman who was holding the child. The meaning behind the look was merely comprehensible by both of them.
They had two targets today. Aside from the child lying in the woman’s arms, the other target would be this child named Helian Qingchen.
According to their information sources, this child was from a mediocre single-parent family running a car repair shop. He was teased and being named a cheapskate ever since he joined the school. It would not attract much attention if such a child were to go missing.
Thick black fog rose from the man’s body as these thoughts ran through his mind.
Those were the evil thoughts sprouting from a human’s heart.
In the eyes of a devil, living spirits such as these were no different from evil spirits.
Baili Shangxie followed behind. Shoving his little hands in his pockets, he strode along with a cool demeanor. He arched an eyebrow after listening to little Qingchen’s response.
The first thing that came to his mind was, his chocolate cake was about to be abducted.
Without further ado, he followed them gallantly!
The man cracked a smile at little Qingchen, though his left hand hung limp at his side as if he was holding something. A closer look revealed a handkerchief held in his palm.
The man did not get the chance to do anything yet.
A police kiosk appeared before them, with a policeman standing on duty with a baton in hand.
