98: Chapter 98 I'm from the Sanda team, let me handle this!
Chen Anle nervously bit her chubby thumb, tears welling up in her eyes, and she was on the verge of crying out loud. The creep saw this and thought, "This won't do. If you start crying and attract attention, will I get off easy? Young people nowadays aren't easy to trick and they hit hard; I'll end up beaten into a pulp."
With this thought, he hurriedly reached into his inner pocket, where a tissue soaked in a special chemical was hidden. Although he hadn't agreed to his friend's request, he still harbored a sliver of hope that he might find a suitable opportunity, so he had been carrying the gear with him for the past few days.
He pulled out the tissue and quickly pressed it against Chen Anle's nose. Passersby who didn't know the truth would have thought he was just wiping a child's runny nose.
Just as the tissue was about to cover Chen Anle's face, a roar came from nearby: "Stop!"
Along with the voice came a massive force kicking him in the waist.
"Ouch!" With a scream, the creep flew over a meter away before hitting the ground.
Chen Anle was so frightened by the scene that she forgot to cry.
Su Ye hurriedly scooped Chen Anle into his arms. Fortunately, they weren't far from the information desk. Just moments ago, Zhao Sihan had dragged Su Ye to the desk, and before she could even speak, Su Ye—who had the tracking guidance—spotted a creepy middle-aged man preparing to make a move on Chen Anle. Panicked, he had lunged over and delivered a powerful kick. Luckily, Zhao Sihan had already taken off the handcuffs after they got off the pirate ship, otherwise, Su Ye might not have made it in time.
He handed Chen Anle to Zhao Sihan, who had arrived just behind him. Ignoring the pointing and whispering of the surrounding crowd, he bent down, picked up the tissue from the ground, and took a light sniff. A wave of dizziness instantly hit his head. Perhaps because Su Ye's physical constitution was quite strong, and he hadn't inhaled much due to the distance, he quickly recovered.
Su Ye finally understood why Chen Anle hadn't been found in the mission. She had been abducted by a trafficker; it would be a miracle if she could be found.
He turned his head to look at Chen Anle, who was still teary-eyed while being comforted by Zhao Sihan. Su Ye was filled with uncontrollable rage; he hated traffickers more than anything. He strode toward the trafficker and stomped hard on his lower leg.
"Aaaah!!!" A scream rang out.
A young man, nearly two meters tall with muscles like a gorilla, grabbed Su Ye. With a look of dissatisfaction on his face, he said, "Brother, even if you're having a conflict, there's no need to be this brutal. Whatever the issue is, let's wait until the police arrive. I've already called them."
The creep, wailing on the ground, heard that the police had been called and rolled his eyes, nearly fainting. People like him would definitely get a harsh welcome at the station. Even if he ended up in prison, it wouldn't be any better; there was a hierarchy of contempt in prison, and he happened to be at the very bottom. It would be a fate worse than death.
Su Ye knew the young man meant well and was trying to avoid a larger conflict, but his anger still surged. He pointed at the tissue that had fallen on the ground and said, "Brother, this guy is a trafficker. If you don't believe me, take a sniff of that tissue on the ground."
The young man's expression changed abruptly. If what Su Ye said was true, he'd wake up in the middle of the night just to slap himself twice. He hurriedly picked up the tissue and took a gentle sniff; the smell was incredibly potent. After shaking his head to confirm it was a knock-out drug, he suddenly whipped his head around, eyes wide with fury as he glared at the creep on the ground. He felt like slapping himself. Good heavens, what have I done? I actually spoke up for a trafficker! If my family found out, my parent-child relationship would be severed tonight, I'd be kicked out of the house overnight, and my girlfriend would dump me at dawn.
"F***!" After a low curse, the Big Guy walked quickly toward the trafficker. At the same time, several other angry-looking young people emerged from the crowd.
A short middle-aged man, perhaps reminded of something, pointed at the trafficker with teary eyes and shouted, "Beat him to death!!!"
A middle-aged woman said through gritted teeth, "Break his arms and legs!"
An old man raised his cane, ignoring his granddaughter who was pulling on him, and shouted, "Let me do it! I'm an old man; it doesn't matter if I beat someone to death!"
A middle-aged man in a jacket, acting more rationally, shouted, "Hitting people is against the law!" The people around glared at him. The man shrank his neck, pulled a pair of sunglasses from his pocket, and put them on. He tapped his long-handled umbrella on the ground with a rhythmic "tap-tap-tap." "Huh? What's happening? I can't see anything."
The creep looked at the crowd, who seemed eager to tear him apart alive, and felt as if his heart had plunged into an ice cellar. Especially that two-meter-tall Big Guy—he could probably crush him to death just by sitting on him.
"I... you... you guys... hitting people is against the law!"
The Big Guy's fan-sized palm slapped against his face: "F*** your mother!" *Slap!* "F*** you!" *Slap!* "F*** the law!" *Slap!*
The crowd had swarmed in by now, and Su Ye hurriedly backed away; he didn't want to be squeezed into a meat patty.
"Aaaah!!! I was wrong!" "Spare me, I'll never dare to do it again!" "Dad! Dad! Stop hitting me!" "Ow! Whose dog is that? Don't bite there, that's not a sausage!"
Su Ye heard the screams and felt his teeth itching.
By now, Chen Anle had stopped sobbing. She leaned against Zhao Sihan's broad chest, watching the surging crowd with curiosity. She looked up, her watery eyes still a bit red: "Big sister, what are they doing?"
Zhao Sihan, who was watching the spectacle, was taken aback for a moment before smiling and answering: "They're playing a game."
Chen Anle's eyes lit up: "Then, can Anan play with them too?"
Zhao Sihan affectionately stroked Chen Anle's little head and said: "Anan can't play right now, oh. When Anan grows up, she can play!"
Su Ye only just remembered that there should have been two children. Besides Chen Anle, there was another one named Xiaoxiao who should have also gone missing. He hurriedly asked: "Anan, where is Xiaoxiao?"
At Su Ye's question, Chen Anle's eyes brimmed with tears again, and she choked out: "Xiaoxiao... Xiaoxiao... is gone!!!"
Su Ye felt a headache coming on. At least Chen Anle had a mission prompt, but that Xiaoxiao didn't. This time, he really had no choice but to ask the park information desk for help.
Meanwhile, at the information desk, a middle-aged man in a suit frowned as he watched the surging, agitated crowd in the distance, along with the occasional shouts and screams. He asked: "What's going on over there? They're fighting! Are the security guards useless?" As he spoke, he prepared to walk toward the crowd. As the park manager, he couldn't just sit by and watch a vicious incident unfold; he would lose his job.
The information desk staff hurriedly grabbed him and explained what had just happened. Upon hearing that they were beating a trafficker, the middle-aged man stopped in his tracks.
"I haven't been here, understand? I don't know anything. Also, the security personnel here were just reassigned to move supplies, and the surveillance cameras were scheduled for repairs at noon today; it just so happens this section of the surveillance is broken this afternoon, got it?"
The staff member patted their chest: "Manager, don't worry, the surveillance is broken, and all the data is lost."
The manager nodded with great satisfaction. He then took off his suit jacket, removed his name tag, and handed it to the staff member nearby. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, revealing his muscular forearms.
"Damn it, I used to be on the city Sanshou team back in the day."
After saying that, he charged toward the crowd, shouting: "I'm from the Sanshou team, move aside, let me through!"
