The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685: Chapter 681: Statement

At Leng Yuan’s prompting, a villager stood up, their face etched with anxiety. "Our child still hasn’t come home. Could they have been taken by them?"

"Yes, our child too."

Everyone had thought the children were just playing somewhere else; they hadn’t even considered the possibility of traffickers.

The village children were all raised free-range. The adults were busy with farm work, so even if they noticed a child hadn’t returned home, they would just assume they had gone off to play somewhere else.

Now that it was brought up, they realized that five or six children in the village were not at home.

Chen Beiguo pondered for a moment before speaking directly.

"We’ll do as you say."

Leng Yuan chose Chen JianShe, Chen Jie, Xu Chongfeng, Xu Chongshan, Zhao Tiezhu, and a few other young men from the village.

He told the remaining people to watch the traffickers and wait for the police to arrive.

As for Gu Jiaojiao, she was to stay with the other villagers.

The village chief came forward from the back. Seeing Gu Jiaojiao, he immediately began to thank her.

The children who had returned all said that Gu Jiaojiao had used herself to threaten the traffickers, which was the only reason they were able to get away. He was so relieved she was unharmed; otherwise, how could their families ever repay such an immense debt of gratitude!

Gu Jiaojiao waved her hand dismissively. "Village Chief, you’re being too kind."

Her face was etched with exhaustion. After an ordeal like that, no one could be expected to look unfazed.

Chen Beiguo, being observant, noticed Gu Jiaojiao’s weary expression and immediately stepped forward. "Uncle, Gu Zhiqing must be exhausted. Let her get some rest."

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to send Gu Jiaojiao home, but the police would be arriving soon and would need to take a statement. As a key witness, Gu Jiaojiao couldn’t leave.

Meanwhile, Leng Yuan and his chosen men dragged the trafficker known as Second Brother to his feet and took him with them.
