Human Trafficker

"Ye, it seems you are first in the mock exam again, don't you care? Ye, you are always like this... cheer up a bit." Chen Qin stood next to Ye Shuang muttering, her smiling and cute appearance attracting the attention of quite a few boys.

Meanwhile, Ye Shuang was pondering the time when Yuyou was abducted. His contemplative look made Chen Qin beside him curious, "What are you thinking about?"

"Nothing... just a personal matter."

"Can't you even tell me?" Chen Qin puffed up her cheeks, "You aren't thinking about Fu Yao, are you?"

"Huh?"

But right at this moment, a voice came from beside them, "Are you guys talking about me?"

At this time, Fu Yao also walked over briskly. With a smile on her face, her dignified appearance was like that of a lady from a noble family.

"No, it's mainly that Ye is keeping a secret from me."

"A secret?"

"It's not really a secret, it's just..." Ye Shuang didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so he had to smile apologetically.

Hearing this, Chen Qin exchanged glances with Fu Yao.

"Let's go, let's go, let's ignore Ye and let him keep things from us." Chen Qin linked arms with Fu Yao, and the two girls turned and left—before leaving, Chen Qin even stuck her tongue out at Ye Shuang, making a funny face.

"This girl."

Ye Shuang shook his head, then continued to lean against the railing to enjoy the breeze. At this time, there were quite a few students in the corridor holding vocabulary booklets, memorizing words. Ye Shuang's dazed look leaning against the railing made him seem a bit out of place.

Just as Ye Shuang was thinking, a waft of fragrant breeze suddenly blew by.

Ye Shuang looked sideways and noticed a girl with long hair standing next to him, holding a small notebook in her hand.

She was covering half of her face, and a pair of beautiful eyes seemed to be sizing up Ye Shuang.

Ye Shuang: "..."

"Oh my, handsome, what are you spacing out for?" The girl blinked and moved the notebook away, revealing a beautiful face. "Do good grades and good looks also bring troubles?"

"Zhao Mengyao."

"Oh my, you actually know my name." Zhao Mengyao's lips curled into a smile as she playfully poked Ye Shuang's chest with her finger.

"You're not being honest, fess up quickly, how do you know my name?"

"Oh dear, I forgot to deliver homework to the teacher, let's chat next time." Just as Ye Shuang was about to speak, the girl suddenly seemed to remember something. After winking at Ye Shuang, she turned around and fluttered away, leaving only the sight of her flowing long hair from behind.

Ye Shuang stayed quiet for a few seconds, then withdrew his gaze and continued to look out the window.

...

In the afternoon, there was an entertainment gala.

Ye Shuang saw Zhao Mengyao once again. This time, the girl was dancing on the stage. Standing in the center, she was like the focal point of the whole venue. The K-pop dance thoroughly showcased the girl's beauty, exuding a rush of youthful hormones.

"Which class is she from? She looks quite pretty."

"That's Zhao Mengyao, though I don't know which class she's in either. I heard that right after she enrolled, many people were asking for her name."

Ye Shuang was also watching the girl at this moment. Perhaps sensing his gaze, Zhao Mengyao suddenly threw a cute wink at Ye Shuang, instantly drawing cheers from the entire audience again.

"..."

Ye Shuang murmured, "I... think I remember?"

Some memory fragments surfaced in Ye Shuang's mind, as if a dusty shackle had cracked open a bit, but the few memories that leaked out brought Ye Shuang immense pain.

"Ye, you're actually spacing out looking at her. Isn't she just shaking her hips? Her figure isn't even as good as mine." Seeing Ye Shuang staring blankly at Zhao Mengyao, Chen Qin immediately stretched out her lobster-like pincers to pinch his waist—

But the next second, she noticed that Ye Shuang's complexion was off, even looking a bit pale.

"Ye?"

"Ye?!"

The next second, Ye Shuang collapsed onto the ground, unconscious.

...

When he woke up again, Ye Shuang found himself sitting on a bed in the school infirmary. The school doctor was not there, but the moment he opened his eyes, Chen Qin's face leaned in.

"Ye, you scared me to death!"

Not only Chen Qin, but Fu Yao was also standing to the side. Both of them were accompanying him.

"I'm not dead yet." Seeing Chen Qin lying on him, crying and shouting, Ye Shuang felt a bit helpless. But why did he faint?

It seemed to be because he remembered something about Zhao Mengyao?

It was strange. Why couldn't he remember much about Zhao Mengyao after waking up from fainting?

Ye Shuang pondered slightly. Perhaps this was the system's doing?

He had no way of knowing.

But right at this moment, Ye Shuang noticed his phone vibrating. As soon as he took it out, the girl beside him exclaimed in surprise, "Ye, you actually hid a phone?"

"Just for convenience, I brought an extra one," Ye Shuang said, but was surprised to find it was a text message.

[Little brother, your distant relative indeed secretly gave birth to a girl, the very cute kind.]

Was this text message from the security guard?

Ye Shuang never expected the security guard to provide him with such information. He suddenly sat up straight and immediately rushed out.

"Wait, wait Ye, where are you going?!"

"I'm leaving the school."

"But you're not allowed to leave the school right now!"

"I'll figure something out."

Chen Qin was stunned for a moment. She exchanged glances with Fu Yao, both seemingly unable to understand what had happened to Ye Shuang.

"Ye!"

At the school gate, students were generally not allowed to leave at this time. However, the security guard happened to be talking to a teacher, and the school gate was left open.

The next moment, a gust of wind blew by, and the security guard noticed a student rushing out.

"..."

"Huh?"

What happened?

Just as Ye Shuang hailed a cab and hurriedly headed toward the residential area, his phone rang. It was his mother calling.

"What's so urgent that you have to leave school?" On the other end of the line, Mother Ye asked Ye Shuang what was going on. It was obvious that Chen Qin had contacted her.

Sitting in the car, Ye Shuang didn't explain much, "Mom, I'll explain this later."

Mother Ye asked, "Then, then do you need my help?"

"Just help me contact Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen."

"Which ones? Qin's parents?"

"Yes, them."

After hanging up, Ye Shuang started contacting the police, immediately stating that he had discovered a human trafficker. Upon learning the exact address, the person on the other end of the phone said they would rush over immediately to check the situation.

At this moment, Ye Shuang's legs were trembling, and his nerves were tense.

Just then, Father Chen and the others called.

"Shuangzai, I heard you have something urgent for us?"

"Uncle Chen, I know where Aunt Xian's missing daughter is." Ye Shuang's single sentence stunned Father Chen on the other end of the line.

Because he had only just found out about his daughter going missing.

How could...
