In Chapter 186, Jin Liang discovered that Sun Xianglan was a human trafficker.
After Tong Yuyao finished speaking, she took out the letter of commendation from the army and her award certificates and handed them to the person who had just asked her a question.
"Hmm, quite a nice young lady. Oh, you're not even eighteen yet, why did you sign up?"
"I'm nineteen years old (by Chinese reckoning), that's how we country folk calculate age. I'll be eighteen in the second half of the year. I want to defend my country, regardless of age!" Tong Yuyao quickly explained, not forgetting to express her determination.
"Go wait over there for the physical fitness test!" another examiner said. He knew about this; someone had already spoken to him about it.
"Okay, thank you, leaders!" Tong Yuyao gave them a perfect military salute, then turned left and ran away.
The two interviewers looked at each other and nodded to indicate their satisfaction.
"Wang Haiyan! Why did you decide to join the army?" When it was this outgoing girl's turn, she wasn't shy at all.
"Of course I want to defend my country! With all this strength, it would be a waste not to join the army!"
"What else can you do? What are your special skills?"
"I'm strong, fast, and I'm also a great cook. Does that count as an advantage?"
The two soldiers conducting the interview nodded: Yes, that is indeed an advantage.
"You'll have to wait and take the physical fitness test too!"
The physical fitness test included long-distance running, sprinting, high jump, long jump, and weightlifting, all of which were not problems for Tong Yuyao. Wang Haiyan, standing next to her, was also full of confidence.
"Run with me, that way we'll get there faster. Try not to fall behind, but I can't wait for you!" She was indeed looking out for Tong Yuyao.
"Okay, you don't need to wait for me, I'm very fast!"
"Alright, then run as fast as you can!"
The physical fitness test involved sprinting, with men and women participating together, in groups of twenty, and two other soldiers recording the results. As soon as the starting gun fired, Tong Yuyao shot off like an arrow!
Wang Haiyan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly chased after her, thinking to herself that this little girl wasn't bragging when she said she was fast, she really was fast! She couldn't even catch up with her!
"Tong Yuyao, 100-meter sprint in 12 seconds, first place!" Many men couldn't outrun her. Wang Haiyan was also quite fast, but she was half a second slower than Tong Yuyao.
Next, in the high jump and long jump competitions, Tong Yuyao easily took first place, leaving many of the male contestants behind. Wang Haiyan stopped talking about protecting her and instead asked her how she could jump higher and farther.
"I've been practicing these since I was little, and there are techniques to them. It's too late now, so when you're running the long distance later, just breathe like this and don't lose your rhythm..." Tong Yuyao thought this person was nice and taught her some techniques.
The final test was the 3000-meter run, and this time everyone participated together, so Tong Yuheng was even less worried. She and her sisters often ran five kilometers during training, so the 3000 meters was no problem for her; it all depended on what result she wanted.
She doesn't want to stand out too much; she just wants to be number one among everyone so that she doesn't fall too far behind them.
After several tests, the soldiers in charge of recruitment announced the end of the assessment. They said they needed to compile the test results and let everyone know the news tomorrow.
Wang Haiyan continued chattering, showing no displeasure at Tong Yuyao's surpassing her.
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing! You're number one in everything! How did you train? Tell me about it later! Oh, by the way, I'd like to invite you to lunch, wanna come?"
"Wang Haiyan, thank you, but I won't have lunch with you. I already promised my dad I'd go to the police station to see him after my exam!"
"Oh, okay then. See you tomorrow, we're both sure to be selected!" Wang Haiyan said confidently.

Since Tong Yuheng went to closed training, Liu Fengyi has also been busy. After Cheng Jinliang sent people to follow Fan Yaqing, they quickly discovered Sun Xianglan's whereabouts.
So they shifted their focus to tracking Sun Xianglan, and what they discovered was shocking. Sun Xianglan was connected to another, yet-to-be-discovered, human trafficking ring!
This operation involved three groups of people posing as couples, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law, or mothers and children to conduct preliminary reconnaissance and then use various methods to steal children, abduct children, or women, primarily committing crimes along the northern railway line.
Trafficked people are sent to fixed "captive centers." Almost every city has such a "transfer station" near or within the city, where people are guarded and provided with basic living conditions for the trafficked people.
Every so often, people responsible for transportation would send people out on fishing boats that went out to sea, but where they were sent was unknown.
Sun Xianglan was a member of a group responsible for human trafficking. She hooked up with an elderly manager at the farm, and through him, she managed to contact people in "Cobra."
In just two months, she sold information about prisoners in exchange for the "Cobra" organization's help to escape. After escaping, she immediately joined a human trafficking gang under the organization.
Along her journey from Northwest to Northeast, she had already abducted two children. One of them involved her posing as a kind older woman, helping a young mother carry her baby to the restroom. Once the mother was in the restroom, she brazenly took the infant away!
This mother is really out of her mind; how could she entrust her child to a stranger?
Another child was kidnapped when she was on a train. While the parents were asleep, she sprayed them with a drug and gave a four- or five-year-old boy a candy laced with the drug.
These two successes were so easy that they inflated her ambition! Sending a child to her superior would earn her two or three hundred yuan; making money was far too easy!
As for whether the parents who lost their child are heartbroken, that's none of her business. Who told them not to watch their child properly? Besides, if one child is lost, just have another!
The inhuman Sun Xianglan never considered what kind of tragic fate the children she sold would experience in their lives.
When Cheng Jinliang discovered that Sun Xianglan was a human trafficker, he knew it was a major case and immediately reported it to Liu Fengyi. With both enemy agents and human traffickers involved, this was a case their county public security bureau couldn't handle.
They were short-handed and lacked professional skills, so the two of them quickly went with Director Feng to the county party secretary and secretly decided to notify the provincial public security department to take over the case. Their county public security bureau followed the orders of its superiors and was responsible for assisting in the arrest.
Cheng Jinliang has already followed Sun Lanxiang to another city, continuing his long-term strategy to catch a bigger fish. Liu Fengyi is now in charge of the county's public security bureau. He's been so busy this week he hasn't even been home yet!
"I've finished my exams, Dad!" Now Liu Fengyi has been accepted by Yu Yao. The familiar feeling of having her own father right in front of her makes them accept this "stepfather" from the bottom of their hearts.
"My second daughter will definitely pass! When will the list be released?" Liu Fengyi had no doubt about his daughter's abilities.
