After hearing his wife Feng Qingqing’s account, He Yongan’s expression turned instantly solemn. Given his years of experience as a criminal police officer, he was certain that this Auntie Shen was suspicious. Regardless of whether she was connected to human trafficking, she was worth investigating.
For the couple, their main priority was finding the culprit who had harmed their two children. If this woman was not involved in human trafficking, they could simply leave a tip with the local police station and let the local authorities handle it. But if she were linked to a trafficking ring, they would personally untangle the web of clues to extract as much information as possible.
He Yongan felt a mounting sense of urgency. The date for his mandatory military training was fast approaching, and his wife’s search for their children in the Provincial Capital had yet to yield any significant progress. He worried that if she uncovered key information about a criminal gang while he was away at training, she would, given her personality, act recklessly and put herself in danger. The thought made his heart ache. Human trafficking was a high-profit, high-risk industry; those involved were usually dangerous criminals, not petty offenders. This was his greatest fear, yet some things were beyond their control.
