At Leng Yuan's prompting, a villager stood up, their face etched with anxiety. "Our child still hasn't come home. Could they have been taken by them?"
"Yes, our child too."
Everyone had thought the children were just playing somewhere else; they hadn't even considered the possibility of traffickers.
The village children were all raised free-range. The adults were busy with farm work, so even if they noticed a child hadn't returned home, they would just assume they had gone off to play somewhere else.
Now that it was brought up, they realized that five or six children in the village were not at home.
Chen Beiguo pondered for a moment before speaking directly.
"We'll do as you say."
Leng Yuan chose Chen JianShe, Chen Jie, Xu Chongfeng, Xu Chongshan, Zhao Tiezhu, and a few other young men from the village.
He told the remaining people to watch the traffickers and wait for the police to arrive.
As for Gu Jiaojiao, she was to stay with the other villagers.
