Chapter 440: Chapter 20: Little Hong Encounters Human Traffickers_3
There are numerous wealthy people on Hong Kong Island. Having lived for so many years in her previous life, Zhao Weihong was naturally aware of many rumors about the next generation of wealthy families. As long as she seized the right opportunity, combined with her own judgment...
She couldn’t believe she wouldn’t find a golden opportunity.
Zhao Weihong rarely had a bit of fighting spirit, but little did she know, someone sent to investigate and notice her abnormal behavior was closely following her.
However, for now, that person hadn’t taken any action either, wanting to cast a long line to catch a big fish to see if they could pull in a trail from her movements.
But he couldn’t quite understand — if there was really some conspiracy, why would they choose such a woman to approach an important figure in their army?
This woman... in performing spy work, she’s not even as capable as any aunt in the village!
...
Meanwhile, Zhao Weihong was calculating the time in her mind.
In her previous life, on this very day, May 27th, the only remaining family member of a tech leader just starting to see hope and recalled from the farm by the government, his little grandson, was abducted on a train by traffickers, causing significant alarm.
However, farm life was truly exhausting, straining both grandfather and grandson’s health. They managed to squeeze onto the train, and the grandfather, utterly overwrought by the ups and downs and continuous travel, fell into a deep sleep.
When he awoke, the train had already stopped twice, and the last trace couldn’t be found.
This only grandson, the continuation of his early deceased son, vanished from this world ever since.
The incident dealt a great blow to him, even though he had now become a backbone of the research institute, he still couldn’t find his grandson.
After a year of fruitless searching, the tech leader noticed his health declining and even made a vow —
Whoever could bring back his grandson would inherit all of his assets.
That included a whole courtyard house, some cash, and a box of gold bars.
The reason Zhao Weihong knew this so well was that, on the very day the vow was made, his precocious grandson managed to one step at a time endure and wait, successfully finding his way back home relying on the memories in his mind...
The reunion years later also became quite a sensational publicity.
Such is the advantage of being a reborn individual.
Zhao Weihong made up her mind to stay in the tech leader’s carriage — he traveled with a low profile all the way, years of living in the countryside made him seem like a simple farmer, without any extravagance, buying a standard seat ticket.
At that time, the newspaper reported it repeatedly, clearly writing the seating arrangements, and Zhao Weihong even in her time with the Shi Family would dream of regretting not having the luck to claim this reward, hence remembering it particularly well.
She had already planned it all.
Upon seeing the child smugglers, she would first tail them and when the train stopped, seize the opportunity to snatch the child...
She’s a woman, at that time, if she shouted that someone was snatching a child, with a crowd at the station, she’d definitely have an advantage...
Once she got hold of the child, she would leave, heading straight to Hong Kong Island.
She would surely take good care of this child, nurturing him for a year, and when the tech leader’s will takes effect, she would casually pretend to send the child back...
She didn’t hope for much, just that courtyard house would be enough.
In her previous life on Hong Kong Island, she heard so much about how the mainland’s courtyard houses rivaled their hillside villas...
Everything was planned, but Zhao Weihong forgot just how crowded the train was nowadays.
People were packed so tightly that it couldn’t even be described as squeezed in.
Even though she stood on seats with difficulty, at the moment looking around left and right, her view couldn’t leap across to the other side.
Because there were way too many people in the aisle.
She had stared all afternoon, yet hadn’t noticed a single old man that seemed like the tech leader!
This was absurd!
Why did those mainlanders have so many children? They couldn’t develop anyway, only cheap labor...
She pursed her lips, refusing to give up, using the excuse of going to the toilet to squeeze back and forth twice through the crowd before she saw a particularly outstanding old man quietly sleeping.
And next to him, a skinny man turned hurriedly, holding a child.
Was it him?
Zhao Weihong opened her mouth to shout but quickly closed it, struggling to push through the crowd, keeping up with him.
The ordinary man who had been observing her saw this, his eyes narrowed, and swiftly pressed through the crowd like a fish.
The skinny man was squeezing back and forth through the crowd, and with this packed train carriage, if Zhao Weihong shouted, all it would take was anyone reaching out their arm and he wouldn’t escape.
But...
Zhao Weihong thought: I’m still not sure; I can’t cause a misunderstanding and alert them.
Besides, there’s nowhere for the train to stop nearby as long as she follows closely, waits till they alight, and then seizes the opportunity...
