Chapter 88: Bargaining With The Kidnapper
The woman was speechless. This little girl looked as harmless as a little rabbit, so why was she so greedy?
She forced a smile: “That’s all, just these. These are good things, they come from abroad and can’t be bought domestically.”
Yun Jiao looked down and continued to dig for sea sunflower seeds and mud snails, then threw them aside. She made two “squeak squeak” sounds, and the chicks and ducklings, who were digging in the sand nearby for food, ran over.
She was very tough: “Then I don’t want it, you can take it away.”
The woman cursed inwardly but had to put on a kind and amiable smile.
“Why? Don’t you like it, Jiao Jiao?”
Yun Jiao nodded: “I like it, but I have nine older brothers, Father and Mother, uncles and aunts, and Grandpa and Grandma. Your candy is only one, I don’t eat alone. I’m a good child who likes to share.”
Such self-praise, the woman’s mouth twitched. She didn’t expect her to be so thick-skinned.
But thinking of the profit this child could bring her, she endured it.
“Then how about… you come with Auntie, and I’ll buy you something delicious, and buy some for your older brothers too?”
Yun Jiao shook her head, solemnly: “No, Father and Mother don’t let me run around with strangers.”
“You only have this little candy, you must be very poor and can’t afford more.”
The woman almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Why was this child so infuriating!
She took out money: “Who said I’m poor? Look, I have plenty of money, I can definitely buy things for you.”
Yun Jiao: “I want the candy in your hand, and my older brothers want it too. Do you have any more?”
The woman gritted her teeth: “Yes, but I only have this one with me right now. If you want it, come to my house with me, and I’ll get it for you.”
Her voice was squeezed out from between her teeth.
Yun Jiao shook her head: “No, show me first if you have that many, then I’ll believe you.”
The woman: …………
She felt like she had been tricked by this little bitch.
But a child only three years old shouldn’t be capable of that.
“Okay, I’ll go get the candy, but tomorrow you have to come see me yourself, by the reef over there. Remember, you can only come alone. If you bring anyone else, I won’t give you the candy.”
Yun Jiao nodded happily, then held out her hand.
“Okay, then give this to me. I’ll see if it’s delicious. If it’s not delicious, I won’t want it.”
How could you take and eat at the same time!!!
The woman was roaring in her heart.
But she still tremblingly handed the chocolate to her.
Her hands trembled from anger.
After giving it, she couldn’t stay for another minute and turned to leave.
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid she would lose her temper and act irrationally.
For two hundred yuan, she endured it!
Yun Jiao got a new candy she had never eaten before, put it in her small clothing pocket, and continued to play.
After feeding the little furballs, Yun Jiao waited for the giant sea turtle by the sea.
Yun Xiaowu and the others followed Wang Yi.
“Little Yun Jiao, where are the orcas you mentioned? Why haven’t I seen them yet?”
Yun Jiao: “They went to eat, they’re not here.”
Wang Yi said “oh” in disappointment.
Soon, the sea turtle came out of the sea, and Wang Yi immediately chased after the giant sea turtle to take pictures.
As the tide came in, everyone went home one after another.
Yun Jiao told her family about her encounter with the kidnapper and took out the chocolate.
Shen Yunlian and the others were both angry and frightened.
“Yun Xiaowu, how were you watching your sister?!”
Shen Yunlian and Wang Mei roared like evil dragons.
Yun Xiaowu and the others trembled. It was over, they had all been distracted by Wang Yi’s camera.
Yun Xiaowu and the other boys who were being chased and beaten yelped.
“She didn’t go far, she didn’t go far. I saw Jiao Jiao talking to an auntie, but Jiao Jiao didn’t call us. We thought she was talking to one of the aunties from the village!”
“Can’t you tell if she’s from the village?”
“I didn’t look closely.”
It was because they were looking at the camera.
Yun Xiaowu and the others, who had been whipped a few times, stared at Yun Jiao with distant gazes.
“Sister, why didn’t you call us?”
Yun Jiao said righteously: “I was asking for candy.”
“She used candy to trick me, but there’s only this one, not enough to share with my older brothers, so I asked her to give me more.”
All the adults present: …………
Bargaining with a human trafficker, you are truly bold!
Two plainclothes police officers were also at their house at this moment. They pretended to be people buying fish and followed the fishermen to experience tide pooling.
They had also seen the woman talking to Yun Jiao when they were on the tidal flats.
Although they were suspicious, seeing Yun Jiao chatting and laughing with the person, they thought she was a villager.
They were not familiar with the villagers, so they did not alert the suspect.
“Little friend, what else did she say besides giving you candy?”
Yun Jiao recounted everything the kidnapper had said.
“Sixth Uncle? Is she really a relative from Sixth Uncle’s side?”
Wang Mei clapped her hands: “I remember now, a relative did come to Sixth Uncle’s place these past two days. She was dressed quite stylishly, a relative from Sixth Uncle’s younger son’s wife’s side.”
The two plainclothes police officers immediately relaxed. It seemed it was indeed that woman.
Wang Mei excitedly said: “Now that we know who it is, are we going to arrest her?”
The two plainclothes police officers looked troubled: “It’s probably not possible now. If we arrest the kidnapper now, it might alert her accomplice, and they might escape.”
They didn’t know how much information the kidnapper had, and it would be best to catch her accomplice too.
The Yun family members were immediately disappointed: “Then how will we catch her?”
Yun Jiao: “Can I still get candy tomorrow?”
She had already opened the chocolate, sniffed it curiously, and was about to put it in her mouth.
“Hey, hey, hey…”
One of the plainclothes police officers quickly snatched it away.
Yun Jiao: …………
Her food was snatched away, unhappy!
“Ahem… little friend, we don’t know if this chocolate has been tampered with. We need to take it back to the Public Security Bureau for inspection.”
Yun Jiao’s voice was muffled and unhappy: “Can I still eat it after you inspect it?”
She was already good-looking, and at this moment, looking both wronged and unhappy, she was incredibly endearing.
“You can’t eat this, but we can bring you safe chocolate.”
Yun Jiao perked up a little.
“That person is supposed to bring me this candy tomorrow. I’ll trick her into giving me more. Can you exchange it for the same amount for me?”
Stared at by those clear, big, watery eyes, the two police officers couldn’t stand it and nodded repeatedly.
“Wait… you said she’s meeting you again tomorrow?”
Yun Jiao nodded.
“Then perhaps, tomorrow she will contact her accomplice.”
Yun Linhe quickly said: “Wait, you can’t use our Jiao Jiao as bait! Who knows what those heartless kidnappers will do. What if they scare my Jiao Jiao?”
“Exactly, exactly. Comrades police, you can’t let my Jiao Jiao take risks.”
The Yun family members were all very protective. Even when facing the police, they spoke tough, absolutely unwilling to let Yun Jiao take risks.
The two police officers were also in a difficult position.
They didn’t want Yun Jiao to take risks either. This child was so good-looking and clever; no one would be happy if something happened to her.
