Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“The only time I participated in the compulsory law enforcement activity, and also the most difficult to overcome, happened there.”
Su Xun’s frown deepened as he said this, and Xi Wan could not help but reach out to comfort him.
Feeling the warmth of his wife’s fingertips, Su Xun bent down so that she could touch his eyebrows without stepping on her feet.
“What kind of difficulty is it? Can 1 hear it?” Xi Wan blinked her big eyes. Su Xun chuckled and pinched her fair cheeks, saying, “Of course you can.”
Su Xun’s voice was gentle, like the gurgling of a stream in the forest when it reached Xi Wan’s ears. It was very easy to bring Xi Wan’s thoughts back to that time.
At that time, under the guidance of the teacher, the inspector and his group arrived at a border town called Mock. This town was bordered by one of the many Southeast Asian countries in the south, and an armed conflict had just broken out in the neighboring country not long ago. Therefore, when they arrived at the town, the inspector found that even on the streets of the town, there were soldiers patrolling everywhere with loaded guns.
They had conducted the legal education on the primary and secondary school students and teachers in the town of Mock, and the location was on the campus of Mock Town Central Primary School.
Su Xun said that the beginning of the event was going smoothly. However, just as they were about to end the in law enforcement, a group of people rushed into the campus and forcefully took away a fifteen-year-old female student in a violent manner.
When the teachers and the rest of the students came back to their senses, they immediately wanted to snatch the female student back. However, the group of people seemed to have been prepared for this. They all carried wooden sticks as thick as Wrists. When the conflict broke out, several teachers and students were injured but Su Xun was lucky and did not get injured.
“!!!” Xi Wan’s eyes widened. “How dare they? Aren’t there many soldiers patrolling the streets?”
Su Xun’s expression wasn’t very good either. When he spoke again, his voice revealed deep helplessness. “All of this is because of the backward cultural customs there. Once the police or relevant government officials stop them, they will immediately be reported by people who believe in these customs as interfering with the normal lives of the people.”
Xi Wan had heard of this custom before. If Su Xun had not mentioned it today, she would have thought that it was an old story from the last century.
As the name suggested, it was to snatch young women as their wives. In this kind of custom, as long as a man took a fancy to a woman and successfully snatched her away, the woman would become his property in the eyes of the local people, regardless of whether the woman was willing or not.
“Is it because the government’s attitude is not tough enough?” Xi Wan asked.
Su Xun shook his head and expressed his thought, “It’s not true. The government has taken corresponding tough measures, but the consequence of these measures is that these villagers have to risk crossing the border and sneak into Southeast Asia. These illegal immigrants have no passport and legal identity information, so they can only hide their identities and work in illegal factories. Some of them will be sold to the local human traffickers around the world.’
Xi Wan frowned when she heard this. She knew what kind of tragic ending these stowaways without identity would eventually face.
Those who were lucky were sold to developed countries to work as laborers, while those who were unlucky would be taken out alive by vicious human traffickers and sold at high prices on the black market.
“Therefore, in order to prevent people from sneaking into the country, the country has relaxed their methods on this matter.” Su Xun said.
Xi Wan quickly caught the main point from his words. “Relax? Did he mean that he had changed his tough methods to relatively gentle ones, such as step-by-step cultural education to enlighten their minds?”
“Wanwan is really sharp.” Su Xun tightened his grip on Xi Wan’s hand. Xi Wan felt that the way he praised her was like a father praising his own child.
Su Xun continued, “You’re right. The country does want to use education to let the people who practice bride kidnapping realize that what they’re doing is not wrong. They want to solve the problem from the root. Therefore, because of this long-term plan, the country would allocate funds to the local government every year as education funds. Over the years, it had indeed achieved considerable results..
