Time passed so slowly as if it had been frozen, and just when she reached a corner of the room, her phone rang all of a sudden.

She reached for it almost instinctively then pressed the 'answer call' button and put the phone to her ear. "How did it go?"

"We've got the person you want, Ms. Song."

"Where are you guys now?"

"We're on the highway now, but because there's quite a distance to the capital, we'll probably only arrive in the morning."

Even though Yan City was quite far from the capital, it was only a seven-plus hour drive via the highway.

She then told the caller, "I'll send you an address in a moment; I'll be waiting there for you guys tomorrow morning."

"Noted."

After ending the call, the missy immediately sent the address over. Throughout, she did not realize how unclear her instructions were and had no idea that the person that her subordinates had captured was not the one she wanted.

Baby Chu soon came around in the car, his vision gradually clearing up upon opening his peepers. He found himself inside a dark car, accompanied by dark sceneries flashing by the window beside him. The car's engine roared in the silent night as it sped across the highway.

He frowned and tried to shake the dizziness that occurred from having his head hit hard. Just as he wanted to move, he realized that his hands were cuffed behind him.

His mouth was also sealed with tape to prevent him from calling for help.

"Umph… mhm…"

The boy was frightened, scared, and helpless in this situation, not knowing where the car was going to take him to.

Are they human traffickers? He wondered fearfully.

Human traffickers frequented the village, but he truly did not know who these strangers were. He often saw them carrying wailing babies and toddlers, ranging from one to three years old.

Later, he learned from the other village children that these were human traffickers who specialized in abducting children from the city and selling them off to poor and remote areas, fetching as high as thirty thousand yuan.

A child in one of the households in Black Dragon Pool Village was bought from those people in this manner.

Thus, he knew the term 'human traffickers' despite his young age.

Have I been abducted? Am I about to be sold off to some remote mountainous region?

The boy was shivering in fear so badly that it did not occur to him to cry for help. All he could do was stare at the two men seated in front.

His mother had taught him; if he ever encountered such a situation, he should not wail in the presence of baddies when there was no one else around, for it would only earn him a violent treatment. Instead, he should bide his time and only cry for help in places like a bustling market or the main street, where lots of people were around.

He was a smart kiddo, who had his wits about him, despite his innocent and naïve appearance. At times like this, the boy managed to regain his calm composure. He knew fully well that crying would do nothing to help him in his present situation and would only make him suffer.

As he leaned against the seat, though, his breathing became heavier, which got the attention of the man sitting in the passenger seat. The latter could not help but be surprised to see him awake and not throwing a tantrum.

If it were another child his age, they would have long burst into tears out of fear, but this boy here did not make a single peep despite his watery eyes. He found it so strange.

"This kid isn't even crying for help!" exclaimed the man in astonishment.
