It seems that the villain is targeting me.

If Chen Xiaoya was alone, he would never be so scared.

If she had come to Taoyuan alone, investigated her friend's whereabouts alone, and faced the tragic outcome that was destined to happen in the plot alone, Chen Xiaoya would not have been so miserable.

Chen Xiaoya, who has nothing, is not afraid of death or danger. She is not afraid of losing anything at all.

But now, she suddenly felt indebted.

The feeling of having his wrist held was very comfortable, and the body temperature was transferred to him. Chen Xiaoya noticed that this person's body was slightly warmer than his own.

"...Take me with you," she pleaded hard, "I can help you."

To be honest, she didn't know what she could do, and following the bird was just a subconscious reaction of her body.

After being discovered, Chen Xiaoya was actually at a loss.

Chen Xiaoya thought dejectedly: She will probably let me go back.

However, she could not bear to stay in the hotel alone.

Chen Xiaoya lowered her head, waiting for the bird's rejection - and perhaps a disappointed scolding or two. She had indeed done a lot of stupid things today.

She didn't expect Xiao Niao to agree to her.

"Okay, you can come with me," Xiao Niao sighed deeply, "but you have to promise to listen to me..."

【what? 】

Tongzi even shouted "extremely surprised" before Chen Xiaoya.

It suspected that the bird was drunk: [Are you going to take her with you?]

"If I leave this child alone, what will happen if she runs away again?" Xiao Niao was also helpless. "At least I can feel more at ease if I keep her by my side."

The system thought about it and it seemed to be true.

"Do not worry."

Xiao Niao gently pushed Chen Xiaoya's back and said to the system in his heart: "She is our important mission target. Even if something happens to me, she will not be allowed to get into trouble."

The bird here is telling the truth.

Even if something really happened to her, Chen Xiaoya would be fine.

Xiao Niao has always been careful in what she does. She anticipated the possibility that she might not be able to come back and made backup arrangements.

If she died, Chen Xiaoya would be sent back to her hometown by the Taoyuan police. She signed a transfer agreement in advance, leaving the house and savings to Xiaoya.

These things were enough to support her until she finished college.

Chen Xiaoya's original destiny has actually undergone a major deviation.

It is now difficult for her father, who had the worst influence on her, to hurt her again, and the situation where she had to wander around just to make ends meet no longer exists.

Xiao Niao thought: As long as this child can complete his studies step by step, there is no reason why he would go down that wrong path.

She had selfish motives for this and wishfully believed that Chen Xiaoya was a good child.

"Captain Lan, we can't hesitate any longer!"

The police officers from the third brigade surrounded Officer Lando and spoke in an anxious tone.

"Since we started investigating human trafficking cases in Taoyuan District, we've never had such a good opportunity to catch all the traffickers in one fell swoop."

The young police officer clenched his fists as he spoke, looking extremely excited.

"Not only did we find the location where the stolen money was hidden, but we also found the addresses of the main members of the gang."

"Three ringleaders, twenty-seven suspects...all of them are under our surveillance!"

"With just one order, we can control these people!"

"As expected of the Third Squadron," another officer said, looking at Lando with admiration. "Team Two hasn't even finished checking out the outsiders yet, and Team Lan has already figured out the details of this criminal gang!"

Officer Lando's eyebrows twitched violently.

"Ah," she cleared her throat softly, "there is a rather special informant..."

It was so special that he broke into the police station in the middle of the night and placed a stack of photos and corresponding information and addresses on her desk.

...even the positions of those people in the criminal gang were categorized and marked.

Then he asked her whether the police would give any reward to enthusiastic citizens who actively provided clues.

Landuo was silent for a long time, looking at the thick stack of documents. After a long while, she finally managed to say that she could help her apply for the award certificate...

Back to the present, the team members were all looking at her with extremely eager eyes.

"Captain Lan, does that informant have any other information?"

"What should we do next? Captain Lan, we're all at your beck and call!"

Captain Lando frowned, feeling like the Neon Police in the TV version of Conan.

She looked incredulous. "...Have you verified the address? Are you sure it's those people?"

"Yes," someone replied, "We've already sent colleagues to monitor it, and we've also requested more manpower support from other places."

Lando said "oh", her face expressionless and without any change.

The police officers who were more familiar with the working style of the Third Brigade knew that Officer Lando was thinking hard when he made this expression - judging from the degree of facial stiffness, the captain seemed to be quite worried.

Although he didn't know what Captain Three was worried about, the police officer quickly gave the surrounding people

Eye contact: "Everyone, please don't talk yet. Captain Lan is still thinking."

After these words were spoken, even the noisy young police officer stopped shouting and everyone quieted down, but the look they gave Lando was still full of trust.

Although no one spoke out loud, a certain atmosphere of 'Team Alan must have arranged this long ago and she must have her reasons for doing this' began to spread rapidly among the crowd.

Officer Lando was indeed worried at the moment.

She was thinking about what Xiao Niao had said to her before: Officer Landu, we will take one day to prepare and wipe out these people's hideout in one go.

Not to mention how much of a headache these words gave Lando at the time, just from these two sentences, she could tell that Xiaoniao didn't understand the police's procedures.

Generally speaking, such a large-scale anti-trafficking operation requires a long period of exploration and investigation in advance to figure out the structure of the entire criminal network before launching the arrest. It takes a short period of time, ranging from a few months to several years. In short, it is a rather huge project.

But Xiao Niao obviously didn't have that much time in the United States to waste with these human traffickers. Let alone several months, this guy was not willing to wait even for a few days.

What Lando didn't know was that the reason why Xiaoniao was unwilling to waste more time waiting was so strange.

What this person was thinking was: Summer vacation is about to end, and she has to get everything done quickly and take the kid back to school.

Don’t let it delay the children’s studies, Xiao Niao thought.

On the other hand, since Xiaoniao had already reached a deal with the seller without consulting the seller, Officer Lando had no choice but to cooperate.

She was extremely alert and began the most stressful personnel scheduling since she started working.

However, although many steps were bypassed, Lando still completed the deployment within the limited time because the key evidence was available.

As long as she gives the order, the capture operation will start simultaneously, leaving the other party no chance to escape or counterattack.

Everything seemed normal, except for one thing that made Officer Lando feel extremely conflicted.

The mysterious informant who provided her with information asked to participate in the police operation.

"They'll definitely take action by the day after tomorrow at the latest," the other party said. "How should I know? The deadline for my order is the day after tomorrow."

Officer Lando almost bit his teeth off.

She confessed to the police that she was involved in human trafficking - she really didn't expect that there was such a person as Xiao Niao in the world.

She thought resistingly: There have indeed been cases in the past where intelligence was obtained through special channels.

But is there any precedent for allowing informants to participate in the operation?

Moreover, it is such a dangerous anti-trafficking operation, which is not something ordinary citizens should do - who will be held responsible if something goes wrong?

"right,"

Officer Lando muttered to himself.

"No matter what others say, I will never agree to it."

Chapter 48: Same or Different Fate [Please Refresh]

Officer Lando sat in the driver's seat, gazing at the deserted street scene ahead, steering with an expressionless face.

She was not wearing a uniform today. She was dressed in a windproof leather jacket and blue jeans. Her capable and heroic look made her look a little younger.

It is early morning and the sky is just beginning to brighten.

The police officer was sitting in the car, as if waiting for someone.

At this moment, there were sudden knocks on the window twice. Officer Landu turned around and Xiao Niao's face appeared in her sight.

The other person waved at her, probably to say hello.

The corner of Lando's eye twitched reflexively.

The police officer manually rolled down the car window, and suddenly, she noticed that Xiao Niao seemed to be not the only one outside the window - there seemed to be someone standing next to this guy.

Officer Lando's gaze dropped twenty centimeters, his pupils dilated slightly, and he was obviously quite surprised.

She frowned and asked, "Why is there a child?"

Xiao Niao subconsciously used her arm to block Chen Xiaoya who was beside her. She took a half step forward and explained the whole story as briefly as possible.

"...Anyway, she followed me out on her own," Xiao Niao said with a sigh, "I plan to take her with me."

Officer Lando said without hesitation: "You want to take her with you? No."

This is too dangerous. They are going to fight human trafficking, not to have an outing. Letting the bird join is already an extra exception.

Xiao Niao tried to negotiate with the police officer: "I don't have any other place to stay in Taoyuan. It's not safe to leave this child alone in a hotel."

This is not without reason. Although the police have put almost all the main members of the trafficking gang under surveillance, the actual situation is far more complicated than ideal.

If something unexpected happens and one or two people escape, it would be dangerous to stay alone in the hotel.

Officer Lando didn't know that Xiaoniao had special props on him that could interfere with people's cognition - she thought Xiaoniao was worried that he would provoke revenge and implicate innocent children.

The conscientious police officer thought for a moment and said, "...I'll ask a colleague to come over and take her to the police station. Someone will take care of her then."

But Xiao Niao still shook his head and rejected the police officer's suggestion.

"...it won't be enough time," she said, "and you'll need extra people to protect her, won't you?"

She knows the police are

There is such a shortage of manpower that we are so stretched that we even want to go to the police academy to grab people to do the work.

Lando insisted, "It's safer to stay at the bureau than to take him to the scene."

Xiao Niao felt someone grabbing his waist, and when he looked down, he saw Chen Xiaoya leaning against his waist.

The child didn't know Landu, so when she heard the stranger suggest that Xiaoniao take her to the police station, Chen Xiaoya almost instinctively grabbed Xiaoniao's clothes.

"...Please, let me go with you," Chen Xiaoya added softly, "I will be obedient."

The police officer looked at the half-grown girl clinging to Xiao Niao's waist with a slightly scrutinizing look. She raised her heroic eyebrows with a look of disapproval.

She looked directly at Chen Xiaoya: "Listen, little girl, no matter what the reason is, I don't want you to get involved."

Because the police officer had already heard about Arjun from Xiaoniao, his tone was not particularly harsh at this moment.

"You're still young," Officer Lando tried her best to persuade him. "You're not mature enough to handle this kind of situation."

The 'scenes' here... naturally refer to those things that are not suitable for children to watch.

Since she started working, Officer Lando has been involved in many anti-trafficking cases.

She knew the extent of the cruelty of those human traffickers - even a mentally healthy adult would suffer psychological sequelae after witnessing those things.

To be honest, Lando was actually very confused. She couldn't understand why Xiaoniao would agree to Chen Xiaoya's rash request.

She also found it hard to understand why Chen Xiaoya had to go to such a dangerous place.

The officer couldn't understand the fear in the child's heart.

For Chen Xiaoya, Aqiong is the only friend she cares about, and Xiaoniao is the only adult she can rely on - and now she is very likely to lose both of them at the same time.

People with different personalities may react differently to this.
