Reborn in the 60s, I hunt to support my family and even seduce the village beauty.

"Stop right there! You're still running away!"

Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü split up and rushed towards the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man seemed particularly familiar with the platform, weaving through the waiting crowd and quickly disappearing from their sight.

"Xiao Lü, you go back and check on the child first. I'll go and acknowledge her!" Xiao Yu called out to Lü Jiawei, worried that something might happen to the little girl, and asked him to protect her.

"Okay, be careful!"

Lü Jiawei knew that he was far less skilled than Xiao Yu, so it was better to leave the task of chasing criminals to him.

Hurriedly returning to the original spot, the little girl looked around in a daze, her face full of confusion, while several elderly women waiting for the bus nearby comforted her.

People at this time are very enthusiastic and not afraid at all when they encounter such things.

In later generations, things are different. If you dare to help an elderly, young, sick, or disabled person who has fallen, be prepared to be extorted.

After all, there's a famous saying: "Why should you help someone who wasn't pushed down?"

Lü Jiawei parted the crowd of onlookers: "Make way, everyone. If anything happens, the police will handle it. Everyone else, keep an eye on the train and don't miss your boarding time."

Watching the excitement is fine, but missing the bus is not worth it. The crowd dispersed, revealing the little girl in the middle.

Lu Jiawei glanced at her; the little girl had a decent appearance, and although her clothes were dirty, the material and workmanship were obviously of high quality.

Did they encounter some despicable human traffickers?!

He crouched down, looked at the timid little girl in front of him, and asked, "Little girl, whose family are you? Can you find your way home?"

The most urgent task is to find the little girl's family.

The little girl seemed a bit silly, just staring blankly at Lü Jiawei without saying a word.

Lu Jiawei was stumped. Why was this little girl so silly? She wouldn't answer when he asked her questions. Could she have some kind of intellectual problem?

"Hey everyone, does anyone know this girl?"

He shouted to the surroundings.

The onlookers remained silent, clearly none of them recognized the little girl.

Just as Lü Jiawei was in a dilemma, an elderly woman in her fifties or sixties suddenly slipped into the crowd.

"Oh my little girl, what are you doing here?"

The old lady looked anxious and rushed to the little girl's side, hugging her tightly in her arms.

"Grandma, is this your daughter?"

The old lady turned to look at Lü Jiawei, stood up, and bowed repeatedly, saying, "Officer, thank you so much. I was waiting for the bus with my little girl, and somehow we got separated."

Lu Jiawei breathed a sigh of relief: "You have to keep a close eye on the little girl. She was almost kidnapped by human traffickers just now."

The old woman seemed startled, her voice trembling with panic: "Human traffickers? Oh dear, thank goodness for you! Human traffickers are so hateful! My poor little girl!"

Lu Jiawei waved his hand: "Be more careful in the future. The little girl is so cute, it would be such a pity if she were kidnapped."

The old lady smiled broadly: "Yes, my little girl has never been talkative since she was little, but she'll definitely grow up to be more talkative."

"Okay, since everything's alright, I'll be going now."

Lu Jiawei waved his hand and turned to help Xiao Yu. He didn't notice that the little girl's eyes were full of resistance to the old lady, but the old lady grabbed her hand tightly and wouldn't let her struggle.

"Xiaoyu, didn't you catch anyone?"

When they found Xiaoyu, he was all alone, covered in sweat, still searching for people.

"Damn it, there are too many people on the platform. That kid is too slippery, he just runs to the crowded places."

"Forget it, that person must be far away by now. Let's go back."

Xiao Yu suddenly remembered: "Hey, I told you to settle the little girl first, why did you come here?"

"The girl's family happened to be nearby and have already been picked up."

Xiao Yu nodded: "Oh, that's perfect, it saves us the trouble of looking for the little girl's family."

The two wandered around the platform, trying to find the middle-aged man who had stolen the child, but to no avail.

Around noon, back in his office, Lü Jiawei embellished the story of rescuing the little girl that morning and told Lao Zeng about it.

He had hoped to receive praise from his master, Lao Zeng, but all he saw was Lao Zeng frowning.

"You...you entrusted the little girl to an old lady?"

"Yes! What's wrong, Master?"

Old Zeng frowned and sighed, "I hope I'm just overthinking it, and that old lady really is the little girl's family."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü both gasped.

Lu Jiawei started to panic: "Master, what does this mean?"

If that old lady wasn't a relative of the little girl, then...

He almost dared not think about it!

Old Zeng pointed at Xiao Lü: "Think about it, if an old lady lost her child, would there be no commotion on the platform? She would probably be searching everywhere, making a huge fuss and everyone would know about it."

"Holy crap!" Lu Jiawei's face turned pale instantly, and he exchanged a glance with Xiao Yu.

I was patrolling the platform just now and didn't hear of anyone losing a child. Logically, if the old lady couldn't find her little girl, she should have sought help from the police long ago.

The two took off running, with Old Zeng close behind.

These two apprentices are such a handful. They finally managed to rescue a little girl from the tiger's den, only to turn around and send her back to the wolf's lair.

It's probably too late to say anything now. So much time has passed, the old lady can't possibly still be waiting in the same spot, letting the police find them again.

On this sweltering day, Lü Jiawei felt cold sweat pouring down his face. He would feel guilty if he couldn't find the little girl.

He comforted himself, thinking that maybe his master was just being paranoid, and that the old lady and the little girl really were family.

Upon arriving at the platform, the three of them split into three groups, constantly inquiring about the whereabouts of the old lady and the little girl.

Quite some time has passed, and none of the surrounding passengers have seen them.

"Master, what should we do?"

Lu Jiawei's eyes reddened with anxiety; he had handled this matter too carelessly.

Thinking back to the old lady holding the little girl, it did seem a bit suspicious. The two weren't that close, and there was no surprise of something lost and found.

At the time, he was busy meeting up with Xiao Yu to catch the middle-aged human trafficker, so he didn't think much of his doubts.

If I had asked a few more questions back then, if I had been more observant, if...

Lu Jiawei was filled with remorse and wished he could slap himself twice.

Looking at the vast crowd on the platform, Old Zeng sighed, "We can't find them. If they were really human traffickers, they wouldn't still be waiting for us on the platform. I just hope I'm wrong!"

"Go back and have a meal first, then call a few more people to come looking for us this afternoon." At this point, all we can do is try our best and leave the rest to fate.

Lü Jiawei shook his head: "Master, you should go back and eat first. I... I can't eat!"

Xiao Yu gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I'm not hungry either. I refuse to believe we can't find someone!"

Old Zeng is a bit tired; he still hasn't found the person, and his hopes are fading.

However, his two apprentices were definitely not in the mood to eat right now. He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go back and ask for help. You two keep looking here and ask around. Maybe someone has seen it."

Xiao Yu and Xiao Lü nodded emphatically. If they couldn't find the person, they estimated they wouldn't be able to eat or sleep for a long time.
