Chapter 931 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (6)
Gu Huaiyuan stared at Mu Zhou, a breath stuck in his chest.
I couldn't bring myself to tell her, yet I couldn't swallow it down either.
She was still staring at him expectantly, her eyes filled with panic and helplessness.
Clearly, she wasn't afraid of being kidnapped, but rather afraid of making him angry.
Gu Huaiyuan's eyes were as black as ink, his gaze chilling.
After a moment of his chest heaving, he finally managed to suppress his anger.
Forget it.
She's never even left the village, what could she possibly know?
There's no point in him getting angry at her.
When he spoke again, Gu Huaiyuan's tone was no longer so cold and harsh.
“I’m not angry. Tell me what he said to you.”
Mu Zhou recounted the entire conversation between the two of them in detail.
Gu Huaiyuan immediately sensed that something was wrong.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he made up his mind.
When he noticed that Mu Zhou was still looking at him uneasily, Gu Huaiyuan felt a strange emotion welling up in his chest.
She's quite clever; she managed to avoid falling into the trap by sheer luck, and probably even infuriated that person.
He straightened his expression:
"Alright, go to my seat and eat. You don't need to worry about this."
"Ok!"
Mu Zhou nodded obediently.
After delivering her to Gu Huaiwei, Gu Huaiyuan went to the train conductor to report the situation.
When he returned, Gu Huaiwei stood up on his own initiative:
“I’ll go sit with my sister-in-law. It’s not safe for her to be alone, and it’s getting dark.”
Gu Huaiyuan's words of refusal were cut off.
That's true. Leaving her there alone will only cause more trouble.
trouble.
Mu Zhou immediately chimed in, saying to Gu Huaiwei:
"Thank you, cousin."
She adapted very well to her role as Gu Huaiyuan's wife, without feeling awkward at all.
Gu Huaiwei touched his buzz cut and said with a smile:
"No thanks, no thanks."
Gu Huaiyuan sat on the outside. Mu Zhou had already finished her boxed lunch and still asked him:
"Second Brother Gu, have you eaten yet?"
"Ah."
Actually, he only ate a couple of bites while cooperating with the train conductor.
But he was unwilling to say much to Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou said "Oh," and couldn't help but say:
"The food on the train was delicious; there were even slices of meat in the dishes."
She looked very content.
Seeing that Gu Huaiyuan didn't speak, she consciously shut her mouth and didn't bother him.
Before dark, the train conductor came looking for him, and Gu Huaiyuan followed him to the train connection area.
His gaze never left Mu Zhou.
I was afraid that she might cause some trouble in such a short time.
The train conductor came to tell him good news.
After Gu Huaiyuan reminded them, the train attendants also stepped up their patrols and kept a close eye on that person.
Several accomplices of the suspicious man were subsequently identified.
They then targeted another girl.
After realizing there was a real problem, they contacted the station police in advance.
The train just arrived at Jinghai Station, and together with the police, we caught them red-handed.
The group quickly confessed that they were a human trafficking gang that specifically targeted young women who were alone on trains.
Using the fact that the other person is good-looking and looks like someone from a performing arts troupe as a starting point for conversation, and after gaining the other person's favor, he says that he is from a certain performing arts troupe and invites the girl to join.
Upon arrival, they would take the girls away and control them, then sell them to remote mountains or shady areas to engage in illegal and criminal activities.
According to their initial confession, this criminal gang has abducted nearly twenty young women, and a rescue operation is currently underway.
The train conductor looked indignant, yet couldn't help but become agitated.
Gu Huaiyuan remained calm. After saying a few more words, he noticed a young man wearing glasses in the distance looking suspicious. After lingering for a moment, the man walked up to Mu Zhou and whispered something to him.
Gu Huaiyuan frowned, left with the words "It's good that you've confessed, I'll go first" and strode towards his seat.
On the other side, Mu Zhou was gazing intently at the unfamiliar scenery outside the car window when a voice suddenly rang out:
"Hello comrade, I am an art student. I am sorry that I painted a portrait of you without your consent."
As he spoke, he handed the sketchbook he was holding to Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou cautiously shrank back, but still glanced at it.
That one glance completely amazed her.
Is this...is this her?
Mu Zhou was extremely surprised.
On that blank sheet of paper, her face was actually sketched out with a pencil.
So similar!
She even thought she was prettier than her.
The boy pushed up his glasses, and seeing that Mu Zhou wasn't angry, he became somewhat excited as well.
"You look exceptionally good. Just now, a ray of the setting sun shone into the car and fell right on you, the light on your face..."
Before he could finish speaking, a hand suddenly reached out and forcefully snatched the sketchbook away.
He looked at the newcomer, a handsome man in military uniform with a stern and imposing presence.
He recognized her; she was the woman's companion.
The young man immediately introduced himself:
"Hello comrade, I am Lu Qingzhi, a third-year student majoring in fine arts at Beicheng University."
Gu Huaiyuan then looked at him.
His gaze scrutinized Lu Qingzhi's face, then swept over Mu Zhou.
Mu Zhou immediately widened his eyes and denied it, saying:
“I ignored him! I know I shouldn’t talk to strangers.”
Gu Huaiyuan's cold and hard demeanor softened slightly.
That's more or less.
He looked at Lu Qingzhi again:
"Thank you, student. Is this painting a gift for us?"
"...Uh, yes."
Lu Qingzhi nodded subconsciously.
Gu Huaiyuan took the drawing paper down and thanked him expressionlessly.
Lu Qingzhi adjusted his glasses, said "You're welcome," and returned to his seat.
He quietly flipped to the last page.
On the drawing paper was a sketch of a girl looking out the window.
Actually, he drew two in total.
But the man in military uniform had such a strong presence that he had a feeling that if the man found out there was another one, he would definitely take it too.
So he instinctively didn't mention it.
Based on this, the man in military uniform might be her husband.
They really don't match.
The girl looks simple, innocent, and full of vitality.
He was drawn in by her vibrant joy, which is why he couldn't resist putting pen to paper.
But that man in military uniform, with his gloomy and cold demeanor, seemed to have a bad temper.
Some of them are fierce and menacing.
Moreover, the girl was clearly afraid of him.
Lu Qingzhi shook her head and sighed.
On the other side, Mu Zhou watched longingly as Gu Huaiyuan folded up the sketch and put it into his pocket.
He looked up and glanced at Mu Zhou:
"What, you want it?"
Mu Zhou shook his head violently:
"I don't want it. I don't want things from strangers."
His nervous and anxious denial made him look like a child who had made a mistake.
Gu Huaiyuan almost couldn't help but smile.
He forced a smile, his voice cold and hard:
"Yes, keep it up."
He paused for a moment, then told her about the gang that trafficked women.
Mu Zhou turned pale with fright upon hearing this.
She nodded even more vigorously:
"It's really dangerous outside, thank goodness for Brother Gu."
Gu Huaiyuan's gaze shifted downwards, noticing that she was still clutching the small bundle tightly, and he casually asked:
"What's in it?"
I cherish it so much, I hold it and won't let go.
Mu Zhou's ears turned slightly red, and his eyes darted around:
"It's just clothes, nothing special."
