Chapter 894: The Kidnappers Would Be In Big Trouble
The man stuffed Baili Shangxie and Helian Qingchen into the van as he spoke, before going in after them. After winding up the windows and locking the car doors, they started driving toward the train station.
The path they used was a normal surveillance route, which would allow them to avoid any suspicion. There were millions of cars passing through Beijing every day, so unless there were special circumstances, officials would hardly demand a search of the cars.
Not to mention, the outside of the van was completely normal. It looked just like a car from another province that entered the capital.
There was an advantage to this kind of van. Its interior was unable to be seen from the outside, whereas from the inside, anything occurring outside was as clear as day.
There was someone else driving the van. He turned the steering wheel as he passed a dozen train tickets to the two teams of imposter couples. He spoke with an accent, “Get ready. As usual, all of you will be seated together,” he said as he glanced at the rearview mirror. He immediately furrowed his brow as he slammed the brakes on. “Why is there an extra kid?”
“I didn’t think it was safe to leave him running around. He saw us while we were abducting the other kid, so he could be a potential problem if the policemen start to investigate. Besides, catching an extra one wouldn’t be a problem. Since the kid from the pancake selling family is easier to control, we can send him off later, but the other two cargos should be sent off as soon as possible,” The man uttered as he covered Baili Shangxie’s nose and mouth with the handkerchief once more.
Upon hearing this, the driver knew that turning back was not an option. He threw them another two sets of clothing. “Take off the leather jacket and the white shirt on the two brats. The way they’re dressed is too eye-catching.”
However, it was not just their clothing that was eye-catching. Their appearances, too, were so exceptional that they did not look like they came from ordinary backgrounds.
The human traffickers acted quickly. In a few seconds, they changed Baili Shangxie and little Qingchen’s upper garments while leaving their trousers intact. The trousers would not make a difference anyway.
After everything was done, the man placed the two little ones in a single seat and leaned their heads against each other. This was a common trick amongst high-level human traffickers. Under suitable conditions, they would usually prefer to kidnap two children instead of one. It made things easier since such a heart-warming illusion would often save them from a lot of trouble if they were being checked.
“Hey, they do look like real brothers when their eyes are closed.” Upon entering the van, the woman was visibly relaxed. As she cracked open some sunflower seeds, she turned her head around while she commented.
The man yawned and replied indifferently, “Don’t they all look the same? It’s just that these two are indeed a little too good-looking. Remember to hide their faces in their collars when we reach the train station later. Now, we should all get some rest. After boarding the train, we need to be on high alert to deal with any situations that may occur.”
The woman agreed with the man’s statement, hence she closed her eyes to rest. Aside from the driver, the other passengers of the van were resting while they could.
No one actually noticed the subtle twitch of a finger from the two little ones who were still leaning against each other. Instead of being unconscious, they were wide awake especially Baili Shangxie. Not only was he wide awake after inhaling the drug, but his eyes had also turned a deeper shade of crimson.
Naturally, Little Qingchen sensed the unusual scent radiating off the inhuman creature. He tightened his little hands around his wrist, warning the inhuman creature not to spoil his plan.
This was the first time someone held Baili Shangxie back. He opened his eyes and glanced at little Qingchen, looking extremely cool.
There was actually a very simple way of dealing with this group of people. After all, they were just a few foolish human beings. If worse came to worst, he could just gobble up their souls in one big mouthful.
However, Baili Shangxie had never taken a train ride before, so he would not mind experiencing human life once in a while. After all, he did say he was going to uproot the kidnappers’ base.
Upon thinking about this, Baili Shangxie closed his eyes again. Perhaps because he was in a comfortable position, the elder one, who had never interacted with any other children of similar age before, fell asleep lazily while leaning on little Qingchen.
This was around the time when the children began to feel drowsy, and little Qingchen was tired as well, especially since he had been unusually obedient in class the whole day. He stuck his thumb in his mouth and fell asleep.
The saying that siblings are joined by blood is reasonably true.
Perhaps even Baili Shangxie and Helian Qingchen were unaware of the similarity in their sleeping positions as their heads leaned against each other.
The sky darkened outside the van’s windows as the time approached 7:15 p.m.
This was the train station’s peak hour. On average, there would be over 300,000 passengers transit every day at this station in west Beijing.
Amongst them were countless educated individuals, workers of various occupations, as well as numerous farmers.
The train station was rowdy, without a single second of silence.
Each passenger would wait by the ticket gate to enter the station. Dust-covered backpacks jostled against each other, while some people were carrying rolled-up beddings on their backs.
This was not like southern Beijing, where public transports were mostly business-class high-speed rails. The flow of people was less controlled here.
Security checks were mainly tasked with matching personal identification card numbers with train tickets. As long as the digits on the passengers’ tickets matched and they were not carrying any prohibited items, they would be allowed to pass through.
It would be almost impossible to demand the security staff to check every single child to see if they were being drugged unconscious.
After all, their job was tiring enough on its own – to be able to sit there and carry out security checks all day was already immensely taxing.
The human traffickers were aiming at this breach in security when they chose to board the train in this station.
The train was due to depart at 7.30 p.m. This was usually when parents began noticing that their children had gone missing. Things would have been too late by then as the human traffickers would have already boarded the train along with their child.
Undeniably, the human traffickers’ plan was extremely well-planned. The only mistake they made was setting their eyes on the wrong target.
The train whistled as the sky above Beijing city fell into darkness.
Meanwhile, in a car repair shop not far away from Pan Garden, five blokes were standing in a row.
“It’s already 7.30 p.m., why isn’t the Little Boss back yet? The Orleans chicken wings I grilled for the Little Boss are already cold.”
“Could it be that the Little Boss lost his way?”
“Impossible! Did you forget about the Little Boss’s ability to remember anything at first sight? Only an idiot like you would get lost!”
“Stop making noise, S is already on his way to the school. He should be back soon.” The relatively cool-headed one was, in fact, the youngster L, who was holding an iron pipe.
However, before S could return, Helian Wei Wei’s BMW Tomahawk appeared. The beautiful streamlined vehicle came to a halt in front of them. Helian Wei Wei took off her helmet and raised an eyebrow. “What are you all standing here for?”
The five blokes looked at each other and replied solemnly in unison, “Waiting for the Little Boss!”
“Little Qingchen is still not back yet?” Helian Wei Wei paused, furrowing her brow.
The distance from the kindergarten is less than half an hour. Even if he was taking Blackie for a stroll, he should have been back by now…
