Chapter 493: The most important thing is contribution

“This is just my guess.” Seeing the two girls’ faces turn pale, Song Mian quickly changed her words.
Yun Xiangxiang took a deep breath. She shook her head gently. “Your guess is reasonable.”
With so many of them coming here, the nearby villages all knew that under normal circ.u.mstances, they would not attack the people in their team.
It was impossible for Pang Yan to make enemies in such a short period of time, and the personal conflict was not just about knocking him out.
Moreover, Pang Yan was knocked out, but only the back of his neck felt pain. The other party had hit him with one strike, and it could be seen that he was skilled.
The possibility of the villagers being able to do so was relatively low. Just as Song Mian had said, this person was able to hand him over to the villagers who stopped him, which meant that he was not mentally ill.
With this speculation, it was really hard to think of any other possibilities other than the human traffickers.
“Be Careful,” Song Mian gently reminded Yun Xiangxiang to think.
“I’m a well-known person who is neither too big nor too small. This kind of person would not lay a hand on me.”
The human traffickers were not outlaws. Yun Xiangxiang thought about it. They were artistes, and they were considered popular artistes. Even if they did not pay attention to the internet, they should at least know her. If they laid a hand on her, wouldn’t that be suicide?
Actually, Pang Yan was also an undeserved disaster. Their partic.i.p.ation in the first stop of the event was quite a sensation.
Considering that their whereabouts had been leaked in advance, causing many people to rush over, Qi Juan was worried that there would be safety issues, so he kept the location of the second and third stops a secret.
They would just have to wait for the video that they had edited to promote the event. Since the artists were not here, it would not attract those who only came for the artists.
“Don’t be careless.” Song Mian had planned to tell Yun Xiangxiang that he had arranged for someone to be in charge of Qi Juan’s team.
Seeing Yun Xiangxiang’s att.i.tude, she decided not to say anything. She did not want to be careless if she had nothing to fear.
People who were able to go against the law would do anything if they were pushed to a corner.
“Don’t worry. I’m just following normal logic. I won’t be careless.”
Even if there were no accidents, she was still very vigilant. After all, they were in an unfamiliar place.
Moreover, these people already knew their origins. If they let Pang Yan go, they would definitely not extend their claws again.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiangxiang’s expression changed slightly. Song Mian, who was keenly aware, asked. “What’s Wrong?”
“I just thought that they might have run away.” Yun Xiangxiang then realized.
They were referring to human traffickers. Human traffickers were the most vigilant and cautious. Since they knew that it was not safe here, they would be exposed sooner or later. Even if there were people from the nearby villages to protect them, they would not stay.
“You want to catch them?” Song Mian understood her thoughts.
“They will only come here under one condition.” That was when they ‘delivered the goods’ .
If they had reacted earlier, they might have been able to save a group of poor people and many broken families.
It was too late to chase after them now. They were not ordinary people. They were public figures with great appeal. Yun Xiangxiang guessed that the other party might have even delayed the ‘delivery’ and quickly left this place.
“I’ll try my best to track it down.” Song Mian and Yun Xiangxiang the same thing.
If it was really a human trafficker, he should have just happened to pa.s.s by Pang Yan, who was alone, so he did not know what was happening here, which meant that they had not conducted the transaction yet.
This batch of people that they had abducted and sold were still in their hands. Their targets were bigger, so it was easy to find them.
“Ah Mian, thank you.” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t refuse.
She used to be an orphan, so she knew the pain of being alone. She was still being sold, and those who were sold and separated were even more miserable than her.
Song Mian didn’t say anything to Yun Xiangxiang. Since she wanted to help, it was better to do it sooner rather than later.
After hanging up the phone, Yun Xiangxiang and Li Xiangling’s hearts were heavy. In fact, they had more or less read about this situation, but it was hard to calm down when they were so close to each other.
“I suddenly feel that the Qi family’s activities are very meaningful,” Li Xiangling said after a moment of silence.
She stood at the window and looked at the layers of mountains outside. “To put it bluntly, no one pays attention to these places, and the people in the village are forced to protect them because they have no other choice.”
In poor places, those who could walk out walked out, and those who did didn’t want to come back, but the people here needed to reproduce and continue to inherit.
Some people did not understand how serious the problem was because of their poor education. Even if some people did, they would not pay attention to this problem.
This was because the entire area was like this. When one was in an environment, they would either be a.s.similated by the environment, or they would leave the environment.
Not only would they be isolated, but they might even be killed.
Even if they knew that there was human trafficking here, other than doing their best to save this batch of people who had not been sold, what else could they do?
They were not related investigators and did not have the right to partic.i.p.ate. At most, they could only report it.
However, how many places were such things happening? Putting aside when they would be able to track it down, they could only act immediately and save this time. When the news was not so hot, who could guarantee that it would not germinate?
Only when the environment here changed, like Qi Juan and the others’ activities, bringing more people to pay attention to this place and developing this place, could they truly put an end to such vicious incidents.
When the communication here became smooth, the flow of people became huge, and the economic conditions became more comfortable, that was the real fundamental solution to the problem.
At first, Li Xiangling came here for the credits, but when she arrived here, she realized that the satisfaction of being looked at with eager and grateful eyes could really make people forget their tiredness and become willing.
Now, Li Xiangling felt that what they were doing was an extraordinary thing.
They brought hope and change.
“Some of our original intentions aren’t important. What’s important is that we’ve made a contribution.” Yun Xiangxiang walked over to Li Xiangling’s side and put her arm around her shoulder.
Yun Xiangxiang thought that the reason why she came here was because she had a deep understanding of the significance of this event. That was why she didn’t mind being forced to come here.
The sound of hurried footsteps made the two of them look at each other. When they walked out of the door, they met Qi Juan who was walking over hurriedly.
Qi Juan’s expression was extremely grave. “I’m afraid this matter is very complicated.”
Seeing that Qi Juan had also discovered the truth, Yun Xiangxiang nodded lightly. “Yes, it involves a crime.”
“You two already know about it?” Qi Juan was a little surprised. He had only found out after using his connections.
Meeting Qi Juan’s puzzled gaze, Yun Xiangxiang shyly tucked a strand of light hair behind her ear. “I just called Ah Mian and asked him to help me a.n.a.lyze it.”
