Hello Mr. King

So that was the case. Qi Juan came to a realization and then said. “Pretend that you don’t know about this for the time being. I’ll investigate this village first.”

“Okay.” Yun Xiangxiang and Li Xiangling nodded in unison.

They could not tell anyone now. A large portion of the people they brought this time were inexperienced youths.

They had not been polished by society, so they would have an impulse to abhor evil.

If they knew the truth, they would probably never be able to come into contact with the villagers with good intentions again.

It was more likely that they wanted to be a savior on their own, crossing mountains and mountains to save the people who had been kidnapped and sold.

Such people were respectable, but they would incur the wrath of the public.

The most important thing was that they could treat the symptoms but not the root cause. If they could suppress it from the root, Yun Xiangxiang would not mind incurring the wrath of the public.

“Perhaps there is no such thing as human trafficking in this village. It’s just that they know about it.” Li Xiangling recalled old man he’s emotions.

When they came into contact with the edge of human trafficking, he was very frustrated and avoided it. However, he was not afraid or evasive.

This meant that their village was clean, but he did not dare to interfere in such matters. It was not that they could not afford to offend human traffickers.

Instead, they were afraid of the people in the deep mountains and even more villages. If he really exposed this matter, after they left, it was very likely that the village would face a lot of trouble.

“After all, it is a place that has been investigated.” Yun Xiangxiang agreed with Li Xiangling’s deduction.

Although before they came, the organizers might have investigated in the direction of conditions, economic conditions, human culture and customs, and so on.

It was impossible to investigate whether there were crimes here. Even if they did, they would have no evidence if they were not exposed.

At the very least, they had to ensure that there were no aggressive or threatening people in the place where they lived.

Therefore, there should not be human trafficking in this village.

Although it was poor, there were many nearby villages. It was not difficult for them to be in-laws. There were also some people who went out to work and eventually returned.

These people married and had children in other places. After their wives came back, they would also understand the situation of their hometown. If there were reliable families here, they would definitely tell them to their fellow villagers or relatives.

The two of them stood in the courtyard and looked at the high mountains.

The sky gradually darkened. The deep mountains were like an impenetrable black cloth, blocking all the light.

That night, everyone’s mood was very low. They did not sleep well. Those who did not know were speculating about this matter.

Those who knew, like Li Xiangling and Yun Xiangxiang, felt heavy at the thought. They knew some sins, but they could not do anything about it.

Especially Li Xiangling. She wanted to be a lawyer. She wanted to uphold justice and bring all the sins to justice.

However, she only found out today that some of the crimes were so close to her, yet she could only watch helplessly.

“Don’t think too much. It’s good that we did our best.” Sensing that Li Xiangling was not asleep, Yun Xiangxiang Zhong in the darkness reached out to hold her hand and advised her in a low voice.

“I know. This is the best that we can do,” Li Xiangling said in a low voice. “Even if Song Mian can get someone to save those people and the mastermind is caught, they might not confess to their past crimes…. It’s also possible that they’ve forgotten how many people they’ve sold and who they’ve sold them to.”

It was not that Li Xiangling and Yun Xiangxiang were cold-hearted, but that their abilities were limited. Most importantly, they did not have any evidence at the moment.

Without evidence, it was impossible for the police to come to their door. Even if they did, would they admit it if they followed her through the mountains and tracked her down?

If they were lucky, they would be able to meet one or two people who still wanted to escape. If they were unlucky, they might have already decided to settle down here, or they might be coerced into not admitting that they were abducted.

There was another problem. Li Xiangling had once learned about a news article about abduction.

It was also about a female college student who had been abducted and sold into the mountains. She had later passed a note to the police who had finally arrived at the mountains and forests, and they had indeed been rescued.

However, she had been abducted and sold for more than ten years. She had given birth to three children for that family, and when she was sent home, she was filled with joy.

Her parents did not have the joy of reuniting with her. The family did not fit in. In the end, her parents did something ridiculous, which was to remarry her into the family that was sold.

Later, when this woman committed suicide in despair and saw the newspaper, Li Xiangling noticed it. After reading it, she felt incredulous and complicated.

“It will get better….” Yun Xiangxiang that other than this expectation, she did not know what else to say.

“At this moment, I really want someone to suddenly rush over and ask me for help….” Li Xiangling stared at the pitch-black sky with her eyes wide open.

This way, she would have a reason to intervene. Although she might have her head smashed and bleeding, or she might be ridiculed by others for being stupid, even if it would be difficult and unrewarding in the end, at least she did not let down her heart of upholding justice.

The current situation made her feel like a fishbone stuck in her throat. She could not swallow it down, nor could she spit it out. Her entire body felt uncomfortable.

“Go to sleep. I’ve always believed that a person who does not take the initiative to do evil is a good person.”

Saving lives, helping the injured, and helping others in the face of injustice. That was being righteous, but it was also not a responsibility.

Li Xiangling did not speak. Instead, she closed her eyes. However, she did not fall asleep the entire night. She kept thinking about all sorts of messy things.

Yun Xiangxiang also felt that after they could not come, they should do nothing. They should try their best. It might be a drop in the bucket, but it was better than nothing.

She kept thinking about where she should start. It was the best way that would not implicate others, so she seemed to be a little troubled.

The only thing that made them feel slightly better was that the village was indeed as they had guessed. There was no human trafficking.

This made Yun Xiangxiang feel a little better when she thought about doing the donation work here.

Qi Juan and old man he had discussed the matter of Pang Yan being knocked unconscious and randomly found someone to take the blame.

He must have told the truth to Pang Yan, and Pang Yan knew the seriousness of the matter, so he cooperated with the act.

It was basically a conflict between Pang Yan and someone else, and that person wanted to scare Pang Yan, so he knocked her unconscious and left her by the side of the road.

The explanation was watertight, and the matter was just let go. Yun Xiangxiang about the other volunteers who had returned to work with enthusiasm and seriousness, and felt a little envious.

Sure enough, sometimes people’s troubles came from knowing too much.

If she didn’t know anything, she might be as happy as they were now.

When the day came to leave, Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t think of anything else she could do.

Standing on the hillside against the wind, Yun Xiangxiang was wearing a fiery red dress in autumn style today, which was set off by the yellow soil and red mud as beautiful as a blooming rose.
