Chapter 261: Human Trafficker
Chapter 261
Time flew by, and Chu Yang was about to graduate. She successfully passed her thesis defense.
During the graduation photo shoot, Chu Yang smiled while holding a bouquet of flowers. Beside her, Chi Yan was holding Jiujiu. Even the photographer was envious, thinking, "This is what it means to be a winner in life! Graduating with a husband and child already! And such a handsome husband and cute child at that!"
In the evening, after Jiujiu had fallen asleep, Chi Yan carried Chu Yang back to her dormitory. "Want to come work at the company? Keep me company," he suggested.
Chu Yang wrapped her arms around his neck. "What position?"
Chi Yan replied, "Be my personal secretary. Just follow me around every day."
Chu Yang immediately knew he was up to no good. She pinched his earlobe and asked, "How much is the salary?"
"As much as you want," Chi Yan said. He placed her on the bed and leaned over her, propping himself up on his elbow. He moved close to Chu Yang's face and gently brushed her hair with his free hand. "How about it?"
Chu Yang tried to push him away but couldn't budge him. "No. I've already applied for a position at the university library."
Hearing this, Chi Yan knew the personal secretary idea was impossible. "I'm sure you'll get it."
"We'll see. So you'll have to find someone else to be your personal secretary."
Chi Yan kissed her lightly. "I won't look for anyone else. Only you can be my personal secretary."
Chu Yang smiled sweetly. "You're so obedient."
Chi Yan hummed in agreement, then pointed at his lips, indicating he wanted a reward.
Chu Yang leaned in to kiss him, but then Chi Yan pressed her down and kissed her passionately. Since having the baby, they had rarely been intimate, and with Chu Yang's postpartum recovery period, Chi Yan had abstained for a long time. Today, he couldn't hold back anymore.
He was hungry.
Devouring her hungrily.
A small piece of torn fabric flew out from under the blanket with a "rip" sound.
"Baby, kiss me."
"Darling, look at me."
"Honey, slower or faster?"
"Sweetheart, how about a massage?"
"Yang Yang, baby, let's go another round."
Night fell, and animals came out to forage. A little rabbit cautiously poked its head out of its burrow, only to be instantly snatched away by the Wolf King.
The Wolf King didn't devour the rabbit immediately. Instead, he first marked the rabbit with his scent, signifying that this was his prey and no one else could touch it.
Afterward, the Wolf King kept the rabbit in his den, constantly grooming its fur.
The room was dimly lit, casting long shadows on the walls. The shadows danced from the east wall to the south wall. The sound of furniture being dragged across the floor echoed with a "scrape," but the two people in the room seemed oblivious, lost in their passionate encounter.
Chu Yang was awakened by a small hand touching her face. As she opened her eyes, she saw Jiujiu lying next to her, tiny hands exploring her features. Chu Yang gently grasped the little hands. "Good morning, Jiujiu."
Chi Yan, lying beside them, chuckled. "It's already noon, you know."
Chu Yang shot him a glare. Whose fault was that?
She quickly sat up and kissed Jiujiu. "Mommy's going to freshen up first, then I'll come play with you, baby."
Today, Chi Yan didn't have to go to work, so the three of them planned to go out for a stroll.
After preparing the stroller, bottles, toys, diapers, and other essentials, the family of three set out.
They went to a nearby park. Chi Yan pushed the stroller with Jiujiu seated inside, while Chu Yang walked alongside them, filming with a video camera. "Look here, baby!"
"Oh my, the baby's smiling!"
The family of three was strikingly attractive, and passersby would occasionally pause to admire them. When they grew tired, they sat down on a park bench to rest. Chi Yan took out some fruit from their bag, first feeding a piece to Chu Yang before eating one himself. When no one was looking, he stole a quick kiss from Chu Yang.
A young woman in the distance noticed this and grabbed her boyfriend's hand excitedly. "Ahh! Did you see that? They're so sweet! And that couple is so good-looking!"
Her boyfriend smiled and held her hand. "We'll be like that in the future too."
The girl blushed at his words and mumbled a shy agreement.
As Chu Yang and Chi Yan sat resting, occasionally playing with Jiujiu, an elderly woman approached them. She looked at Jiujiu in the stroller, her eyes lighting up. "Oh my, your child is so adorable! Can I hold her?" she asked, already reaching out.
If it had been anyone else, they might have allowed it, but Chu Yang immediately grabbed the woman's hand. "What are you doing?"
The old woman insisted, "Oh, I just want to hold her for a moment."
Chi Yan made a gesture, and suddenly several men in black suits appeared and seized the old woman.
The young couple from earlier noticed the commotion. "What's going on? What happened?"
"Who are those men in black?"
Chu Yang held onto the old woman's hand tightly and said to Chi Yan, "Call the police."
Hearing this, the old woman suddenly became flustered. "Oh my, I just wanted to hold the baby. If you don't want me to, that's fine. What kind of people are you? Let me go, I need to leave. I still have to buy groceries."
But Chu Yang didn't release her, and two bodyguards firmly held the woman in place.
The old woman started to make a scene. "What are you doing? Assaulting an old lady in broad daylight! Help! Help!"
People nearby, hearing the commotion, gathered around to watch.
However, no one dared to intervene, only whispering among themselves.
Chi Yan had already tightly embraced Jiujiu, with one hand holding Chu Yang's to comfort her.
Seeing people gathering, the old woman continued to shout, "Let me go! Let me go! They're beating an old lady! Oh, my heart hurts!" She pretended to collapse.
But the bodyguards held her firmly, refusing to let go. The old woman became even more panicked, looking at the crowd around her. "Help! Help me!"
Someone in the crowd wanted to step forward to say something, but was pulled back by the person next to them, who shook their head. It was clear that this couple was not ordinary people, and no one wanted to get involved without knowing the full story.
Soon, the police arrived.
As it happened, the police officer who came recognized Chi Yan. He immediately asked, "Mr. Chi, Mrs. Chi, what's the matter?"
Chu Yang looked at the old woman and said, "I suspect this person is a child trafficker. And there are probably accomplices nearby."
Hearing this, the police officer immediately became serious. "Take her in!"
The onlookers, upon hearing this, felt a chill run down their spines. They were relieved they hadn't intervened earlier, or they might have been mistaken for accomplices.
The old woman became even more frantic. "What are you talking about? I just live nearby. What child trafficker? Let me go, I still need to buy groceries!"
But no matter what she said, the police didn't release her. "We'll take her in for questioning!"
Chi Yan and Chu Yang also went to the station to give their statements.
After finishing their statements, Chi Yan and Chu Yang returned home.
They never expected such an incident during a simple walk in the park. For a while after this, Chu Yang didn't take Jiujiu out. When they wanted fresh air, they would walk around the grounds of the old family mansion. After all, the surrounding two kilometers belonged to the Chi family, so there was no chance of encountering any dangerous individuals.
The only encounters during their walks were with the crows, which would often fly over to greet them.
They would caw "Ya ya ya ya."
At such times, Jiujiu would become very excited, babbling incomprehensibly in response.
