Chapter 37: Flaws

“Don’t move!” Twenty police officers appeared out of nowhere. They pointed their guns at the traffickers.

The other officers ran into the old warehouse. When the traffickers saw the police, they were stunned. When they came to their senses, they were already pushed to the ground with their hands on the back of their heads.

Then, a handsome man in a police uniform walked out. He exuded a strong aura. He ordered sternly, “Search the area carefully. Don’t let any of them get away!”

“Yes!”

The officers obliged.

Jiang Tao’s eagle-sharp eyes shot at the middle-aged woman. “Do you have any more accomplices?”

“No, no more!” The woman shook her head. At the same time, she was puzzled. Why was there a police ambush at their headquarters? Then her gaze settled on Xiao Lingyu, who was standing behind an officer. The woman’s eyes burned with anger. She pointed at Xiao Lingyu and interrogated, “It was you, wasn’t you? You lured the police here!”

Only then did the woman come to the realization. Earlier, they were mocking the girl in secret. They were surprised by how gullible the girl was. But in reality, they were the gullible ones.

Xiao Lingyu didn’t answer. Jiang Tao walked towards her. He wanted to shake her hands, but when he saw the boy in Xiao Lingyu’s arms, he only nodded. “Miss Xiao, thank you so much for your support and cooperation. Otherwise, we don’t know when we will catch this group of human traffickers! We have been monitoring this criminal organization for almost half a year, but we haven’t been able to find their point of contact. Today, we might be able to catch them all in one fell swoop. Miss Xiao, this is all thanks to you!”

The middle-aged woman widened her eyes in disbelief, “So it’s really you!” She was too careless. The girl was guarded when she first approached her. But when the girl returned from supposedly losing her father, she became so gullible. The middle-aged woman finally understood. The girl didn’t go to find her father. She went to call the police.

The middle-aged woman’s group had been targeted by the police for a long time already, but they had been able to avoid law enforcement.

The police must have asked the girl to pretend to be deceived. Then the police had trailed them all the way to their base.

So they were fooled by a seemingly stupid girl!

The middle-aged woman was filled with regret. She initially had the thought to let the girl go, so why did she change her mind in the end? If she hadn’t brought along the girl, they wouldn’t be caught!

But it was too late for regret. They had been in the human trafficking business for several decades, and the person who took them down was a simple girl.

One of the men demanded, “How did you know? How can you tell?”

They were extremely cautious. They couldn’t believe that the girl managed to see through their ploy.

Xiao Lingyu did not approach them. She carried the child and stood outside the crowd as she said in a calm voice, “No grandmother cares so little about her grandson. The boy has been asleep for so long without any food and water. You clearly didn’t care about him!”

“So what? Couldn’t I be a horrible grandmother?” The woman countered.

“Well, you could. But there’s another detail that sold you out.” Xiao Lingyu explained, “It’s the way you dress.”

“The way we dress?” The traffickers were dumbfounded. They clearly didn’t imagine that to be the problem.

Xiao Lingyu elaborated, “The boy is well-dressed. He is fair and cute. One look, and you can tell he is from a well-off family. But look at you. You are dressed plainly and haggard-looking. You two are not from the same background. If this boy is really your grandson, would his father allow him to travel with you? He clearly won’t. Furthermore, as you said, you could be a horrible grandmother. But considering how well cared for this boy is, his parents won’t leave him with you. So the only conclusion is the boy is not your grandson.”

“Even so, that doesn’t prove that we’re human traffickers.” The criminals still couldn’t accept the fact that a young girl had thwarted them.

“Well, this is really your fault.” Xiao Lingyu said, “You were so kind when you first approached me, asking me about my family and so on. But the moment you heard I travel with my family, your attitude turned cold instantly. How can I not notice that anomaly? I went to call the police out of consideration for safety!”

Since the human traffickers were already on the police’s watch list, when Xiao Lingyu called to report on them, they immediately sprung into action. They asked Xiao Lingyu to act as bait, and she agreed. So the rest was for the human traffickers to take the bait, and they did.

The woman normally wouldn’t fall for this, but the harvest was too large to skip. They had already kidnapped a boy in the capital. They could sell him at a high price. They would get around 300,000 easily once they captured the girl.

Combine that with the girls and children they already locked up in the warehouse, the total harvest would amount to two million. As the leader, the middle-aged woman would gain 50 percent of the profits.

In other words, she was sitting on one million. That was good to last her for four years. The four years were enough to shake the police trail off. After four years, she would return to the scene. She had been doing this for decades. The plan had worked perfectly... until now.

The woman was too caught up in the imminent windfall that she didn’t notice the police ambush. This was her fault.

The woman’s eyes glowed viciously, “Bitch, how can you do this to us?”

Xiao Lingyu laughed icily, “What I did is nothing compared to what you’ve done over the years.”

Jiang Tao ordered sternly, “Bring them all away!” His subordinates obliged.

Jiang Tao glanced at the child in Xiao Lingyu’s arms and said very sincerely, “Miss, thank you for risking your personal safety to help us. We’re very grateful.”

Xiao Lingyu glanced at the child in her arms and said very seriously, “The bad people will get their retribution sooner or later. Karma will eventually catch up to them. It’s just that this time, it manifested itself through me.”

Jiang Tao was startled, then he nodded. “You’re right.. Karma is always watching! The bad people will get their retribution sooner or later.”
