Chapter 165 The fact that the person didn't die means it was self-defense.
"Young comrade, how could you commit such a heinous act in the street?"
A bespectacled man pointed at her with a trembling hand.
"It's wrong to commit murder in the street, but it's right for human traffickers to arrest people in the street."
You bunch of idiots, why don't you tie up these three human traffickers and go report them to the police?
"Did you stuff donkey hair in your ear? I've told you so many times to call the police!"
The bespectacled man looked disgusted by Bao Ya's scolding, but he couldn't refute it. It was true that they had believed the human traffickers' sweet talk and hadn't reported it to the police.
Bao Ya muttered curses as she went to check on the terrified Gu Panyue. Gu Panyue was completely frightened and was trembling uncontrollably, clutching Bao Ya's arm; she had even forgotten how to cry.
Everyone realized that the two girls and the couple were definitely not related. Even if they were family, they wouldn't fight so fiercely.
Those present felt somewhat ashamed, as they had almost been kidnapped by human traffickers. They quickly rushed to help, finding some rope from somewhere to tie up the three people who had fallen to the ground.
While Bao Ya was hitting someone, Lin Chuxue took advantage of the chaos and pushed Liu Zi aside to run away.
She ran and shouted, scaring Liu Zi so much that he didn't dare to chase her.
With his two accomplices taken down, Liu Zi dared not linger any longer and hurried home to pack his things and run away.
When Qi Jianjun and Fang Mingda arrived at the police station, Gu Panyue was holding Bao Ya's hand and crying.
She originally wanted to hug Bao Ya and cry, but Bao Ya was afraid that she would smear her snot and tears on herself, so she pushed her away ruthlessly.
I'm not a little brother, why should I let her hug me?
Bao Ya stared at the ceiling with a look of utter despair. She finally understood why men would immediately rush to comfort a woman when she cried—because it was so annoying!
"Brother Qi! Waaaaah..."
When Gu Panyue saw Qi Jianjun, she immediately ran over and threw herself into his arms, sobbing.
Bao Ya touched her tormented ears, finally relieved. When she turned to look at the two of them, her mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg.
Shouldn't we be careful? He's a married man, after all.
Qi Jianjun noticed that Bao Ya was looking in his direction, and feeling a little embarrassed, he tried to push Gu Panyue away.
She held on so tightly that I couldn't push her away at all, and could only offer quiet words of comfort.
Seeing that she had put on a look of anticipation and showed no fear, Fang Mingda felt relieved.
"How are you? Are you alright?"
"It's alright, the person isn't dead."
"What?"
Bao Ya meant that since none of the three people died, she wouldn't be held legally responsible. She understood that if someone died, it was excessive self-defense, but if they survived, it was legitimate self-defense.
Fang Mingda wanted to ask more questions about what had happened, but Chief Zhao of the police station came out with a stack of interrogation records.
"Old Fang is here."
"Chief Zhao, how is it? Can we take them away now?"
When Director Zhao saw Fang Mingda, he quickly walked over to greet him. When Fang asked if he could leave, the expression on Director Zhao's face twisted slightly. He then turned to look at Lin Baoya, who was standing to the side with her eyes glazed over.
"There are still some issues. Let's sit down and talk about it slowly."
As she spoke, she led Fang Mingda to a table not far from Bao Ya, glanced at Bao Ya with a complicated look, and then turned to Fang Mingda to explain the situation.
Bao Ya felt completely drained and didn't want to move at all.
It was getting dark, and the police station wasn't providing meals. She was already starving after all that exercise she'd done that afternoon.
"That's right. Of the three people arrested today, two are human traffickers, and they have already confessed."
Another one was a passerby, and that person was seriously injured...
Bao Ya, who was initially reluctant to speak, roughly guessed from Director Zhao's words that the problem stemmed from a shrewish woman. She immediately retorted:
"There were no passersby; the three of them were in cahoots. They were working together seamlessly, trying to kidnap us."
Director Zhang was interrupted by her, thought for a moment, and continued:
"But those two human traffickers said they didn't know that woman, and that she was a local and had a legitimate job..."
Bao Ya gave Director Zhao a disdainful look:
"Can you believe what human traffickers say? She even said she was my mother. Look at her, how could she have given birth to me?"
If that person wasn't a human trafficker, why would they help a human trafficker take us away?
The people in your area are all stupid. I shouted in the street for ages to call the police, but not a single person moved.
They all believe the human traffickers, and now even you believe them. No wonder no one comes to you when they need something.
Director Zhao was speechless after Bao Ya retorted, but their investigation revealed otherwise; that person was just there for the sake of it.
Bao Ya didn't care about any of that; the person she injured had to be a human trafficker. If they weren't, they might try to extort money from her—no way.
"But……"
"There are no 'buts'. The key point should be why she helped human traffickers, not her identity."
"Our investigation shows that she has no connection with human traffickers."
"Can you guarantee that you investigated all of her social relationships without missing anything?"
"You are police officers, responsible to the people. How can you be so careless?"
Fang Mingda listened from the side, touching his nose, and he seemed to have guessed something.
"Director Zhao, Xiao Lin makes a good point. That person isn't a human trafficker, so why would they help them persecute other female comrades? This is something worth investigating."
Fang Mingda shifted the focus; he wasn't a human trafficker, but his act of aiding and abetting human traffickers was undoubtedly persecution of female comrades and could not be let off lightly.
Director Zhao: Can we please let him finish what he has to say?
Bao Ya: Of course not, the important people haven't arrived yet.
While Director Zhao was sighing, Bao Ya tilted her head and whispered in Fang Mingda's ear:
"Does Commander Qin know that his daughter was almost kidnapped by human traffickers?"
"Okay, I'm on my way."
Bao Ya nodded, indicating that she understood.
Director Zhao heard their conversation clearly, and his gaze toward Lin Baoya held genuine surprise.
This little girl looks so sweet and well-behaved, yet she's so shrewd. No wonder she's so convinced that the man is a human trafficker.
Commander Qin is known for his doting on his daughter, so once this matter reaches him, that so-called bystander won't be able to get away easily.
Soon, the sounds of hurried cars and footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and even the air seemed to tense up.
"Bang!" The door to the police station lobby was pushed open, and a young woman rushed in.
Not far from him, Commander Qin and his bodyguards followed in.
"Comrade, where is my mother?"
"Your mom?"
The young police officer who had just taken over the shift at the entrance was stunned. She looked at Commander Qin following behind her, then at Gu Panyue being comforted by Qi Jianjun, and then at Bao Ya sitting opposite the station chief.
The two women were not a good match for the official in the back.
