Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Thanks for Every Fifty Thousand
Tuanzi was happily eating chocolate.
A staff member from the production team was earnestly talking about the audacity of human traffickers.
Although the two perpetrators seemed foolish this time, they actually managed to divert Gu Miaomiao’s attention during the live broadcast, making their success rate high. If they had managed to escape, who knows where Tuanzi would have been sold. Moreover, if they had been more ruthless, they might have taken Tuanzi elsewhere to harm her.
"Kidnapping someone during a live broadcast is stupid, but effective. Some human traffickers even snatch people off the street, while others disguise themselves as elderly people to lure you into secluded places."
The staff member continued seriously, "There have been such cases before, where someone went out to dump garbage, thinking it was just a few floors down, and left the door ajar. As a result, someone went straight into their house and took the child away."
In this day and age, when human traffickers dare to break into homes to abduct children, what else can’t they do?
Tuanzi widened her eyes.
"They’re so bad!"
"That’s why you need to be careful."
Tuanzi put on a serious face, thought for a moment, then smiled brightly, "But Miaomiao is really awesome and not afraid of them. If a human trafficker comes, Miaomiao will beat one up! Stack them up into a little mountain, and sit on top."
The staff member wanted to say something else, but upon seeing a few people walking up behind Gu Miaomiao, he shut his mouth.
Tuanzi instinctively shrank her neck.
She had a bad feeling.
Looking back, she saw her three cousins with unpleasant expressions on their faces.
She rummaged through her pocket and took out three candies.
Jumping down, she ran to the three of them, handing over the candies ingratiatingly.
"Want some candy? It’s sweet."
Pei Hai said grumpily, "You can’t do that next time. Even if you’re helping others, you need to pay attention to your own safety."
Gu Wangchao looked serious, "A sprained ankle isn’t a serious illness, and the other person was a stranger. You should have gone with the staff. This sort of thing is something adults should handle."
Since arriving at Xishui Village, Gu Chi had been smiling all the time, but now he wasn’t smiling, his crescent-shaped eyes fixed on Tuanzi, giving her a chilly feeling around her neck.
"Got it," Tuanzi said in a very small voice, reaching out her little finger for a pinky promise, "I’ll definitely be careful next time."
The three of them couldn’t bring themselves to harshly and loudly criticize their little sister, feeling a bit soft-hearted. Their sister just wanted to help others; it was those fools who were at fault. But thinking about those people targeting her, they felt both angry and scared.
Gu Wangchao went to the police station to understand the situation, while Pei Hai suddenly dodged away from Tuanzi, found an assistant to get a phone, and filed a complaint.
Gu Chi and Tuanzi remained standing face to face.
Tuanzi glared at him once, then quickly lowered her head.
Gu Chi not smiling was really scary!
Gu Chi withdrew his gaze.
Tuanzi quickly glanced at him again, feeling something odd about his demeanor.
Slowly moving her little feet, Tuanzi tugged on his hand, gently shaking it, "Gu Chi brother, what’s wrong?"
Gu Chi tugged at the corner of his lips, smiling again.
"Nothing, being brave and righteous is a good virtue."
Tuanzi stopped, feeling a bit of sarcasm in his words.
Because the two were fugitive criminals, regardless of whether they admitted it, they would face punishment. One was still in the hospital receiving treatment, and the other, infuriated at being caught by a little girl, couldn’t help but curse during the interrogation, eventually revealing their purpose.
They were indeed accomplices of the initially captured human trafficker.
That trafficker, in order to reduce his sentence, betrayed many accomplices. As their team watched their partners getting arrested one by one, the two felt both hatred and anger, and wanted to take revenge on Gu Miaomiao.
They kidnapped Gu Miaomiao, intending to sell her abroad, which they also saw as a lesson for her.
After learning about the outcome, Gu Wangchao didn’t feel relieved.
These two still had accomplices. What if other accomplices came to trouble his sister?
The three brothers took Tuanzi back home, none of them in the mood for harvesting rice.
Tuanzi initially wanted to comfort them but soon found herself overwhelmed.
Her eldest brother called her.
Tuanzi didn’t really want to pick up, scrunching her nose, trying to avoid reality.
Gu Chi walked by with a smile, saw her little face wrinkled up, and casually pressed on her phone watch.
The call was connected.
"Gu Chi brother, you betrayed me!"
Tuanzi bared her little teeth fiercely.
Gu Chi smiled, "Your big brother heard it, think about how to explain to him."
The next second, Gu Cheng’s serious voice came through the phone.
Tuanzi wilted, lowering her head.
Gu Cheng’s attitude was similar to her other brothers’. He acknowledged her bravery and righteous actions but also pointed out the inappropriate aspects of helping others.
"You see, today the person used ether. If he had succeeded, you’d have passed out even if you’re skilled. Someday, someone might deliberately feed you something secretly drugged. You’re skilled, but are you invulnerable to all poisons?"
Tuanzi pouted.
She would love to be invulnerable to all poisons, but unfortunately, she never acquired that skill.
Seemingly sensing his sister’s mood, Gu Cheng softened his voice a little.
"Miaomiao, I’m proud of you."
Tuanzi, like a flower drenched in water, swayed with the wind.
Just that sentence dispelled all her previous gloom.
She loudly promised Gu Cheng that if she encountered such situations in the future, she would never act alone and would look for a reliable adult to accompany her.
Gu Cheng gave a few more reminders before hanging up the call.
She bounced along, humming a tune, and found Gu Chi, proudly raising her little head, "Big brother said he’s proud of Miaomiao, so you can’t enjoy a spectacle."
Gu Chi smiled and asked, "He didn’t criticize you?"
Tuanzi paused.
Her big brother had praised her, but also criticized her. But the brave and invincible little heroine refused to admit being criticized.
"That wasn’t criticism," Tuanzi loudly protested, "it was loving education, loving concern!"
Gu Chi: "..." His little sister’s ability to embellish the truth was quite strong.
It was said that the human trafficker was sent to the city that day.
The next day, someone came to deliver a banner, and stated that as the trafficker was caught by her, she would be awarded a related bonus, five thousand yuan for each person.
"Ten thousand!"
Her big eyes turned into symbols of money.
Tuanzi couldn’t help rubbing her hands, wondering how many candies ten thousand yuan could buy.
After the police officers left, the cameraman pointed the lens at her.
Director Wang, who rushed over, asked her, "Miaomiao, do you have anything to say?"
Drowning in the little money, Tuanzi gave a shy smile.
"Thank you to every five thousand yuan that came to the door. Without you, there wouldn’t be Miaomiao’s happiness."
Director Wang: "..."
[Puhahaha, Miaomiao is so sarcastic]
[Isn’t that true, five thousand yuan each, delivered just like that, as if found for free]
[What would the remaining accomplices think if they saw this, would they still dare to come]
[Miaomiao: Quickly, quickly, every five thousand yuan come into my bowl]
Tuanzi grinned from ear to ear, "If a few more five thousand yuan came..."
The three brothers: (▼ヘ▼#)
Catching a glimpse of their expressions out of the corner of her eye, Tuanzi immediately changed her words, "Miaomiao advises all human traffickers to obediently surrender and cooperate with the police investigation. Miaomiao sincerely wishes you all, when going out, to be reported and caught."
