"Beautiful Lady," kneeling before Chen Haoxuan, said, "You tell me first, what exactly is going on?"
"Brother, it’s like this. Today I took the train from Shouyang City to New City. On the train, that old lady kept offering me celery, pretending to be a very nice person to gain my trust. Seeing how kind she was, when she asked me about my child, I told her everything. I didn’t expect that when we got off at New City, she suddenly demanded that I give her my child, claiming that the child in my arms was her grandson. Then another woman appeared and said that the child in my arms was hers.
I wanted to leave with my child quickly, but the crowd blocked my way, and that woman and the old lady wouldn’t let go of me. Brother, you must help me; my child has already lost his father; she can’t lose her mother too!" Beautiful Lady cried as she spoke to Chen Haoxuan.
After listening to Beautiful Lady's words, Chen Haoxuan turned and pointed at another woman and the old lady, saying, "You two explain what’s going on."
"Brother, it’s like this. A few days ago, I took my granddaughter and grandson to visit relatives and just returned today. On the way back, I encountered this human trafficker. While on the train, she kept asking about my family. I thought a beautiful girl like her couldn’t be a bad person, so I didn’t hide anything; I told her whatever she asked. I thought they were just some trivial family matters! I didn’t expect that when we reached New City station, she would run off with my grandson. Thankfully, these kind people stopped her; otherwise, without my grandson, how could I live?" The old lady spoke with a crying tone, yet there were no tears on her face.
At that moment, the woman secretly nudged a seven or eight-year-old girl beside her. The girl felt the push and pointed at Beautiful Lady, angrily shouting, "You’re a bad person! Let go of my brother; we want to go home!"
The onlookers began to speak up to Chen Haoxuan: "The woman holding the child is a trafficker; Brother, you must not believe her."
Chen Haoxuan gently addressed Beautiful Lady kneeling before him: "May I hold your child? Don’t worry; as long as we haven’t figured out what’s going on, no one will take him away from me."
Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, Beautiful Lady's expression showed fear; she suspected that he was in cahoots with the woman and the old lady. She tightly held onto the child and turned aside without answering Chen Haoxuan. Although she didn’t respond verbally, her actions clearly indicated to Chen Haoxuan that she did not want to hand over the child.
Seeing Beautiful Lady's reaction and observing her attire—dressed in designer brands while the child was also well-dressed—Chen Haoxuan noted that her child's skin was fair and tender. In contrast, the other woman wore cheap clothes and looked ordinary; the old lady was similarly dressed poorly. The seven or eight-year-old girl appeared frail and malnourished.
If the child in Beautiful Lady's arms belonged to that woman, why were they dressed so poorly while the boy looked so well-groomed? Did they save all their money just for him? That seemed unlikely.
Chen Haoxuan did not force Beautiful Lady to give him the child; instead he asked, "What proof do you have that this boy is yours?"
The old lady said loudly, "I have a grandson named Han Fenghua, he is three years old this year, and he was born at New City People's Hospital, weighing five pounds and six ounces at birth. He loves watching Ultraman..." The woman's evidence was quite sufficient!
At this moment, the onlookers began to speak up: "The woman holding the child is a human trafficker; we should take her to the police station..."
Chen Haoxuan paid no attention to the crowd. With so many people around, not one of them stepped forward to help; these people were not worth his concern.
Chen Haoxuan gently asked the Beautiful Lady, "What about your evidence?"
With a sobbing tone, the Beautiful Lady replied to Chen Haoxuan, "What she said was all told to her by me. Right now, I just want my Brother to take me to the police station."
When the Beautiful Lady mentioned the police station, a hint of panic flashed across the expressions of the woman and the old lady, but it quickly disappeared. It seemed they were seasoned in such matters.
"I will do that, but your child has been crying. Can you comfort him? It's not good for him to cry for too long," Chen Haoxuan said gently to the Beautiful Lady.
Upon hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, the Beautiful Lady looked at him with gratitude in her eyes. She bent down and softly comforted her child in her arms, saying, "Xiao Hua, don't cry. Mommy is here; don't cry..."
The child in the Beautiful Lady's arms cried pitifully, "Mommy, Xiao Hua is scared."
Seeing how the child reacted to the Beautiful Lady only confirmed Chen Haoxuan's suspicions further. He took out his phone and dialed Li De's number. Once connected, he said, "Li De, hurry and bring people to New City train station; there are a group of human traffickers trying to snatch children here. Come quickly."
On the other end of the line, Li De anxiously responded to Chen Haoxuan, "Xuan, keep an eye on them; I will bring people over right away."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Haoxuan reassured the Beautiful Lady, "Don't worry; I've already called the police. They will be here soon."
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's words, her expression finally relaxed, and she repeatedly bowed to Chen Haoxuan, tears of joy streaming down her face as she said, "Brother, thank you, thank you for your great kindness. I will always remember it."
The woman and the elderly lady, upon hearing what Chen Haoxuan had just said on the phone, showed expressions of fear. The woman leaned in close to the elderly lady's ear and whispered, "The police are coming soon; we need to hurry and take the child away."
Both the woman and the elderly lady rushed towards Beautiful Lady, shouting, "You wicked human trafficker, give me back my child!"
Seeing the woman and the elderly lady running towards her, Beautiful Lady was so frightened that she quickly stood up and hid behind Chen Haoxuan. With a trembling voice, she pleaded with him, "Brother, you must not let them take my child away. I'm begging you."
Chen Haoxuan coldly addressed the approaching woman and elderly lady, "The police will be here soon. Once they arrive at the police station, it will be clear whose child this is. You saw me call the police and then came to snatch the child. Are you not the traffickers? Why else wouldn't you wait for the police?"
"He is my child; I want to take him home. What's wrong with that?" the woman shouted at Chen Haoxuan.
"Brother, my grandson hasn't eaten lunch; he must be starving after crying for so long. Please let us take him home to eat!" The elderly lady pleaded with Chen Haoxuan desperately.
