The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 205 Slander
Jiang Mian held the girl's wrist tightly, preventing her from breaking free and escaping.

No matter what, just hand over what you stole.

She gripped the girl's wrist tightly, which made the girl struggle even more violently, and Jiang Mian's way of holding on to the person made her look more like a human trafficker.

Moreover, the girl was dressed normally and did not look distressed or like a homeless child.

Jiang Mian's eyebrows twitched even more violently upon seeing this; it seemed that this gang had made very thorough preparations for their crime.

They even prepared plenty of clothes.

The service area was bustling with people and noisy.

The girl's cries were particularly sharp and piercing, as if they had carved a sharp mark in the noisy place, making them especially conspicuous.

Instantly, everyone around turned to look at him, as if they were piercing his back.

"What's wrong with this world? Human traffickers are even abducting children in broad daylight?"

"That young girl is so young, why did she have to become a human trafficker?"

"With that foxy look, she definitely doesn't do anything normal."

"Aren't people always saying that human traffickers disguise themselves as relatives and abduct people in broad daylight?"

……

Jiang Mian frowned slightly upon hearing the harsh comments around him.

"Auntie, help me!"

"Uncle, save me!"

……

The little girl became even more engrossed in the performance, crying and pleading for help from those around her.

Jiang Mian laughed in exasperation and began to act as well: "You brat, all I did was refuse to buy you candied hawthorns, and now you don't even recognize your mother?"

She bent down and smiled, "Alright, stop fooling around. Mom will go buy you some candied hawthorns right now. This time I'm really going to buy them, and everyone can be a witness."

A short while later, Jiang Mian secretly injected a mild anesthetic into the little girl in a place where no one could see her.

The little girl's struggling movements indeed lessened, as if she had become much more obedient because Jiang Mian was going to buy her candied hawthorns.

Jiang Mian picked up the little girl, essentially taking her hostage.

She looked around at the people and just smiled helplessly: "This child has been willful since she was little. Look at her, everyone."

The little girl's body went limp and weak, but she kept calling out, "No, no, she's not my mother."

The next second, her mouth was stuffed with a piece of candy.

Jiang Mian smiled gently and patted her head: "You naughty child, stop fooling around."

Didn't they say she wasn't her mother? Then she should try being her mother.

Those around them, seeing this, started complaining again.

"Kids these days are getting more and more willful. We didn't have these conditions back then. Even if you cried, you couldn't get food; you'd only get a slap."

"Hey, who says kids can't lie? I think kids are the best at lying."

"Yes, kids these days are even more awful than adults."

……

These people are opportunistic and fickle, like reeds in the wind, and have started spouting nonsense again.

Jiang Mian planned to carry the girl away from there first, and then get the little girl to hand over her belongings elsewhere, or she could search for them herself. But an arm blocked her way.

"Wait a moment," the man beside him said coldly.

Jiang Mian looked at the man beside her, puzzled: "Is something the matter?"

The next second, a pair of shackles were locked onto her wrists.

"You are suspected of human trafficking." The man's cold, emotionless voice rang out, and he picked up a military insignia to show Jiang Mian. "This is my military insignia, Marshal Lu Zhi of the First Army Corps, who has the right to arrest without cause."

Jiang Mian was slightly stunned. This person... is he sick in the head?

He calls himself a marshal, yet he can't even distinguish right from wrong!

Did they immediately conclude that she was a human trafficker?

"You..." Jiang Mian was speechless for a moment.

The next second, the man took the little girl from her arms, while Jiang Mian's wrist was handcuffed on one side and the other on the man's hand.

"Come with me to the service area's broadcasting room." Lu Zhi pulled Jiang Mian's hand forward with one hand, while holding the little girl in the other. He was clearly going to the broadcasting room to send a message that the little girl was missing, so that her original family could come and pick her up.

Jiang Mian felt a sharp pain in her wrist and was forced to take several steps forward with him. Realizing what had happened, she quickly said, "No, as a marshal, don't you even have any judgment? Which eye of yours saw that I'm a human trafficker? This little girl is a thief; she just stole something from you."

“I wasn’t sure at first, but now that you’ve injected this little girl with anesthesia, I’m pretty sure you’re a human trafficker.” Lu Zhi couldn’t believe it either; a woman with such outstanding looks and demeanor could actually be a human trafficker.

However, this also shows that as times progress, human traffickers are becoming increasingly sophisticated in their methods.

Lu Zhi's expression turned serious.

"You have such good eyesight, you saw me inject the anesthetic, but you didn't realize she was just a child thief?" Jiang Mian said helplessly, then looked at the little girl again. "I'm not going to waste any more words with you. Little girl, quickly take out my two gifts. Those gifts are really important to me. Give them back to me, and whatever happens to you afterward is none of my business."

The little girl was only given a mild anesthetic injection; she wouldn't fall asleep, but she would feel weak all over.

“If you don’t take it out, I’ll search you myself,” Jiang Mian said, raising her eyebrows slightly.

The little girl shrank back into Lu Zhi's arms in fear.

Lu Zhi merely glanced coldly at Jiang Mian: "Don't scare her."

"Just let me search her and see if I can find my things." Jiang Mian gave a forced smile and tugged at her lips. "I just want my things and I'll leave, okay?"

"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Zhi tugged at Jiang Mian's wrist, and she was quickly dragged away. "After watching the surveillance footage in the service area's monitoring room, everything will become clear."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian paused slightly, genuinely believing that he was truly unable to distinguish right from wrong and had directly concluded that she was a human trafficker.

"Okay, then let's go to the monitoring room and take a look." Jiang Mian didn't say anything more after hearing this.

However, the little girl became a little worried after hearing this, so after the two walked for a while, the little girl said, "Big brother, I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it anymore."

Jiang Mian raised her eyebrows slightly: "Let me go with you."

She tugged at her wrist as she spoke: "Hey, Marshal, I'll go with her to the restroom and unlock the shackles so the child won't be late."

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi paused for a moment, glanced at Jiang Mian, then looked at the little girl, and asked, "Kid, tell me honestly, were you lying just now?"

He seemed to have noticed something was wrong as well.

Jiang Mian's attitude was simply too frank.

The little girl now seems to be acting strangely again.

He began to doubt his own judgment.

When Lu Zhi questioned the prisoner, his eyes were particularly sharp. A little girl naturally couldn't resist and immediately gave herself away. When questioned, she couldn't help but look away in fear.
