Chapter Seventy-One: Good Luck or Bad Luck?

Xiang Kun, of course, knew that the people in the front car were human traffickers. That’s why he spoke up and asked Yang Zhen Er to report to the insurance company rather than handling it privately.

After the collision, he instinctively “collected” the sound and smell information from the front car.

As per the smells, there were four adults, two men and two women, in the front car. One of them smelled like a drug user. In the backseat, besides the two adult women, there were also two sleeping children whose health seemed to be off.

He faintly smelled Diazepam, an ingredient in sleeping pills.

Then he heard the male with the drug user smell say, “Handle it quickly, don’t cause trouble,” probably to the driver.

After the swarthy driver got out of the car, the same man said to the two women in the backseat, “The sleeping pills you gave them are still working, right? We don’t need them waking up and causing a fuss.”

Which normal parent would feed their children sleeping pills to prevent them from causing trouble?

There’s a high possibility that the four adults in the front car are human traffickers or kidnappers.

After getting out of the car, Xiang Kun deliberately sauntered past the rear window of the front car and confirmed his suspicions after a glance.

Xiang Kun reminded himself to keep a low profile, not to draw attention or meddle with things, and not to consider himself a hero.

But there are things in life you can and cannot ignore.

He thought about revealing nothing and trailing them after they leave and then informing the police.

But he considered there were two 3 or 4-year-old children in the car, and one of them was a drug user. What if the traffickers realized they were being surrounded by the police and overreacted?

Of course, Xiang Kun was certainly capable of subduing all four people in the car single-handedly, but that would cause trouble and be hard to explain later on.

So, he intentionally drove the two men out of the car, started a conflict, and took the chance to restrain them.

Just when Xiang Kun didn’t expect it, Xia Libing turned furious as well. Moreover, she was even harsher than him.

But he didn’t secretly communicate with Xia Libing, or tell her about his judgment, did he?

Meanwhile, the tackling of Xia Libing’s questioning was halfway through.

Since the case was very clear, Xia Libing, Xiang Kun, and the others had done good deeds by saving two children. The police officers who were questioning Xiang Kun and Xia Libing, treated them very politely.

“So, you glanced at the children in the car from the rear window and determined that they’re human traffickers?” The female officer asked in surprise.

Xia Libing nodded, “The two children were squished together at the back, sleeping in a very uncomfortable position. The two women didn’t care at all and just made sure they were comfortable. The children’s clothes and shoes were all branded, new, and felt quite expensive. However, they were dirty. It was evident they hadn’t been changed for some time.”

“The style, the way those four people dressed and carried themselves, and their attitudes toward the children suggested that they were not the children’s parents.”

“The driver was reluctant to call the police, even agreed to forgo the compensation. After we insisted on reporting it, two men tried to snatch our phones, which was highly unusual.”

“Of course, the most critical point was when my friend started fighting with the two men, the women in the rear seat didn’t call the police nor tried to mediate, but instead tried to escape. They let their guilt show.”

From her understanding of Xiang Kun, he wouldn’t easily draw conclusions, but once he did, he would be pretty sure.

After the inquiry, Xiang Kun met his “old friend,” Officer Chen.

In fact, after he subdued the traffickers, he used WeChat to contact Officer Chen proactively and inform him about the incident.

It’s not like he didn’t trust the police. But with a known police officer around, things should be handled smoothly. Especially since this time, Tang Baona, Yang Zhen Er, and Xia Libing were all taken back to the police station. Especially for Xia Libing, those two kicks she executed were quite intense. The two women must be badly hurt. He wondered if this would cause her trouble later?

However, Xiang Kun was worrying over nothing. The influence of the three women’s families in this city was much more significant than he thought.

Soon after, a very affluent middle-aged man and the deputy director of the sub-branch police station came to pick them up. The deputy director explicitly stated that Xia Libing and Xiang Kun’s actions were acts of bravery for a just cause and self-defense, and they should be commended.

Officer Chen looked at Xiang Kun and found it hard to contain his laughter,

“This is…the fourth time, right? Should I say you’re lucky or unlucky?”

Xiang Kun couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. In just a month, he met Officer Chen four times for four (or should he say three) different cases. After the mutation, did he become more prone to encounter criminal activities?

Well, but if he thought about it, that might not be the case.

If he hadn’t mutated, the first time when he saw someone holding a knife at his house, he would probably just make a call to the police rather than going down to stop it.

The second time, if he hadn’t mutated and his sense of smell hadn’t evolved, and he hadn’t been out “patrolling the streets” in the middle of the night to train his senses, he wouldn’t have smelled the blood and discovered the robbed and stabbed man.

The third time, if he hadn’t significantly evolved his sense of sight, smell, and hearing, he couldn’t have recognized the suspect who had heavily disguised himself, let alone capture him.

As for today, he recognized that the people in the front car were human traffickers carrying two kidnapped kids, thanks to the information gathered by his extraordinary senses. If it was the old him, he wouldn’t likely have discovered this. Maybe after Yang Zhen Er and the others had settled with the other party, he would have left.

As Officer Chen watched Xiang Kun leave the sub-branch, he patted him on the shoulder when they reached the gate and said, “The same old saying…”

Xiang Kun smiled and finished his sentence, “I remember it, don’t act rashly when an incident occurs, call 110 first.”

At the entrance of the sub-branch, Tang Baona, the three women, and the affluent middle-aged man were waiting for him.

“You must be Mr. Xiang, right? I’m Yang Kuoyan, Zhen’er’s father.” The middle-aged man extended his hand to Xiang Kun and introduced himself.

“Hello, Mr. Yang, you can call me Xiang Kun. I’m sorry for causing you trouble.” As Xiang Kun spoke, he was thinking that the man looked young, barely in his forties. But considering that Yang Zhen’er and Tang Baona were of the same age, he must be around fifty. He did a great job in maintaining his youth.

Yang Kuoyan’s smile was radiating warmth, “What are you talking about? It was Zhen’er and her friends who caused trouble for you. You don’t have to call me Mr. Yang. Just call me Uncle Yang. I heard, Xiang Kun, you’re looking for a job? I have several IT company partners in this city that are seeking staff. If you’re interested, I can introduce you to them. Then you all can get to know each other better..”
