Quick Transmigration: My System is a Big Liar

The old woman noticed Jiang Lan's doubts and deliberately tried to get closer to her to dispel her guard. "Young lady, don't be afraid. My husband's surname is Cao, and everyone calls me Aunt Cao. Don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just thought you were pretty and wanted to chat with you. You're from out of town, right? How old are you? Which village do your relatives live in? I know all the villages around here."

Jiang Lan hesitated for a moment before telling the old lady that she was going to visit her family at the military base.

The old woman wasn't scared when she heard about the military unit; instead, she laughed even harder, patting her chest and assuring them, "The Yushan Military Unit! I know it very well. It's not far from our village. You come with me, and I'll take you there. I promise you won't take any unnecessary detours."

Jiang Lan thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright then!"

According to the original owner's memories from her previous life, she would be sent to the Li family, a cripple, deep in the mountains tonight, and sold to Li the Cripple for thirty yuan. Accompanying her were three human traffickers, two men and one woman, as well as two unconscious children.

Hearing Jiang Lan agree, the old lady was even happier, and she kept showering him with compliments.

"Young lady, there are a few neighbors from the same village over there. Let's walk together in a bit; it'll be more lively with lots of people on the road." After walking a few steps, the old woman pointed to a few people not far away and said to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan looked in the direction of the crowd. One of them kept waving to them, while the other two were holding two small children and had smiles on their faces.

Upon approaching, Jiang Lan greeted them politely. Seeing the children asleep, her face was full of regret, as if she hadn't noticed anything amiss, which made the smiles on the faces of the group even deeper.

Just as they were about to leave the train station, Aunt Cao suddenly clutched her stomach in obvious pain. "I need to use the restroom, wait for me," she said before rushing off to the toilet.

"Sister Cao, could it be that you have an upset stomach?" another aunt asked with concern.

The man holding the child sneered, "I think he's just a lazy donkey with lots of poop and pee, afraid to go back to work!"

The man who had waved to them earlier glanced at them and said, "It's normal for people to need to use the restroom. We'll just wait; there's no rush."

This man was clearly the leader of the group; as soon as he spoke, the other two fell silent.

The three of them remained silent for the next few minutes. Jiang Lan looked around as if searching for something. She had deliberately given Aunt Cao a laxative to buy time, as Aunt Cao's stomach ache was caused by Jiang Lan.

As she got off the train, she noticed that several soldiers were at the very back of the carriage, waiting for all the civilians to disembark before they set off. They were now walking out, only five or six meters away from the human trafficking gang.

Jiang Lan leaned closer to the man holding the child and said in surprise, "Why has he been sleeping for so long? I can't wake him up no matter what I do. Is he sick?"

Before anyone could reply, he said anxiously, "We need to get him to the hospital quickly, or it might be too late."

The trafficker leader was about to explain when Jiang Lan blocked the five soldiers' path. "Soldiers, please save the children! They won't wake up no matter how hard we call them."

Jiang Lan mouthed the words "human trafficker" in her lips, hoping the soldier comrade would understand.

As expected, one of the older, square-faced soldiers helped Jiang Lan up and walked over to the two people holding the child. "What's wrong with the child? Let me see."

Fearing the child would cry, the traffickers drugged him. They dared not let the soldiers check on him. After receiving a tip from their leader, the two immediately grabbed the child and ran in different directions, and the soldiers quickly gave chase.

Jiang Lan stood calmly outside the toilet. She made sure that Aunt Cao's legs would be sore from squatting in the toilet that she wouldn't be able to escape and continue her evil deeds.

After a while, Aunt Cao emerged from the toilet, her legs weak. She was somewhat surprised to see Jiang Lan and asked, "Where are they?"

"They're waiting for you outside. I was worried, so I came to check on them," Jiang Lan said, half-jokingly. Her worry was feigned; her real fear was that they might run away.

Aunt Cao was deeply moved and made up her mind to find a good family for her younger sister, so as to live up to her sister's worries.

If Jiang Lan could hear her thoughts, she would definitely roll her eyes twice. Let Aunt Cao keep the good family for herself! She doesn't care.

At this time, the soldiers had already apprehended several human traffickers and successfully rescued two children, and the police officers had also arrived at the train station.

Jiang Lan held Cao Da Niang's arm tightly and led her to the soldiers so that she could reunite with her comrades.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan approach, the square-faced soldier saluted her to express his gratitude, saying, "Comrade, thanks to you, we were able to successfully capture the human trafficker gang and rescue the children."

Jiang Lan reflexively returned a less-than-perfect military salute, then touched her nose. "It's all thanks to you guys. I just noticed something was wrong with the child; I couldn't wake him up no matter what I did."

Aunt Cao was so frightened that she was shaking uncontrollably. She never expected to fall for the seemingly harmless Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan handed the fleeing Granny Cao over to the soldier. "By the way, soldier, Granny Cao said she would take me to the Yushan military unit. She also said she was their neighbor from the same village. Could she also be a human trafficker?"

Upon hearing this, the square-faced soldier immediately handed over Aunt Cao to the arriving police officers and explained the situation to them.

We'll find out after the police interrogate her.

The police officers are taking statements, and the two children were taken to the nearest hospital immediately.

The baby-faced soldier, who looked about seventeen or eighteen, approached Jiang Lan and asked, "Big sister, you just said you were going to the Yushan military unit. Are you a family member?"

Jiang Lan nodded and then shook her head, thought for a moment, and found a suitable word, "In the past, right?"

The baby-faced soldier scratched his head. "I used to be. Could it be that this older sister, like Platoon Leader Yang's wife, was divorced? Is she here to cause trouble? But she doesn't seem like it!"

Ignoring the baby-faced man's hesitation, Jiang Lan took out a wild vegetable bun from her bundle and ate it slowly.

She had only eaten three pancakes in the three days and two nights since boarding the train, and was now starving.

She'll probably have to walk for a long time, and she's afraid she won't be able to endure the journey if she doesn't eat.

Meeting the baby-faced girl's gaze, Jiang Lan habitually asked, "Do you want some?" Only after asking did she realize that there was only this last one left in her bag, and she didn't have any more to give to anyone else.

The baby-faced boy nodded, his cheeks slightly flushed. He was simply curious about what wild vegetable steamed buns tasted like.

Having already spoken, Jiang Lan could only break off half and give it to him, explaining, "This is the only one I have left, you can try it."

When the baby-faced man heard Jiang Lan say that, he regretted it. He shouldn't have been curious, but the steamed bun was already in his hands, and it wasn't realistic to give it back to his older sister.

After thinking for a moment, she took out a five-jin grain coupon from her pocket. "Sister, here you go. The army has regulations that prohibit us from taking even a needle or thread from the people."
