Rebooting 60, let's go on a rampage with the orange cat!

In carriage number 5, near the toilet, a female passenger in her forties was fast asleep, her head facing the aisle and covered with a dark blue coat. She had a triangular face, thin cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and deep, obvious nasolabial folds. Because she was sleeping so soundly, her head was tilted against the green seat back, and her thin lips were unconsciously parted, drooling.

A middle-aged man next to her also had his eyes closed, his head resting on the woman's shoulder as he snored. Near the window, on the inside, lay a baby wearing only a thin onesie, seemingly newborn, lying motionless on the bed. A baby bottle had slipped to the floor, and the thin clothes were covered in pale yellow stains.

Huai'an found it strange; she had never seen parents so soundly asleep yet so indifferent to such a small baby. Out of concern for the infant, Shi Huai'an leaned forward to examine him closely, and what she saw shocked her: the baby wasn't crying and seemed to be in a semi-conscious state.

Train conductor Yue Tong and Ren Weimin also stopped. At this moment, the woman seemed to be awakened. Seeing Huai'an touching the baby's chest, she immediately screamed, "What are you doing? Don't touch him!"

The man was also awakened by the shouts. He sat up straight, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked, "What do you want?"

The woman had single eyelids and heavy eye bags. Her gaze towards Huai'an was icy, even carrying a chilling, hellish cruelty. Seeing that Huai'an was a little girl, she pulled Huai'an's hand away forcefully, then picked up the child and said, "What are you doing?"

Huai'an calmly asked, "Is the baby a month old? He looks sick."

At this moment, the man beside him looked impatient and resentful, saying, "We can handle this ourselves, you don't need to meddle. Hurry up and go." His eyes, as he looked at Huai'an, revealed a fierce and cold expression.

Yue Tong stared intently at the man and woman in front of him with a serious expression and immediately questioned, "Who exactly are you to this child? Quickly show me your identification!"

Upon hearing this, a look of panic flashed across the faces of the man and woman.

The woman stammered, "This...this is my son. He's only a month old. We're planning to take him back to our hometown to be looked after by his grandparents."

Huai'an carefully observed the female passenger with the baby; her age and appearance did not resemble those of a mother who had just given birth.

Without the slightest hesitation, Huai'an immediately said, "Judging from your physical condition, you don't look like you've just given birth!"

Upon hearing this, the woman turned around abruptly, glaring fiercely at Huai'an with eyes filled with anger and resentment. She clutched the baby tightly in her arms, as if afraid someone would snatch it away.

What's strange is that despite the commotion, the baby remained completely still and unusually quiet.

Ren Weimin then realized something was amiss and said, "Did you give the child sleeping pills? You've truly lost all conscience."

At this moment, Yue Tong spoke up again: "Please show your identification documents, letters of introduction, and tickets for inspection."

Upon hearing this, the man looked troubled, but ultimately had no choice but to begin groping himself.

After a moment, he slowly pulled a crumpled train ticket from his pocket and handed it to Yue Tong, explaining hesitantly, "I'm sorry, officer, the child was delivered at home by a midwife and doesn't have a birth certificate. You've misunderstood, this really is our child."

Just then, the passengers who were watching gathered around and told Yue Tong about some of the details they had observed.

An old woman said, "It's really a tragedy. I've been wondering about this the whole way. Other children are always crying and fussing, but this baby just lies in the seat and doesn't move at all."

Another woman added, "Yes, yes, the child didn't cry once the whole time. I was wondering why he was so well-behaved; he must have been drugged."

After some questioning and investigation, Yue Tong learned that the female passenger had indeed boarded the bus with her husband. However, what was puzzling was that the couple rarely interacted with other passengers on the bus.

Moreover, the male passenger showed complete indifference to the child's current condition. All indications suggest that this couple is no ordinary person.

Faced with everyone's accusations, the woman defended herself, feeling wronged: "You've really misunderstood. I had four daughters but no sons. His family was always making a fuss about it, so he adopted a son. It wasn't kidnapped."

The man also said, "I didn't discuss this with her properly, and we argued a bit. We were still arguing on the way home. This really is the child I adopted, and I even spent two hundred yuan on him."

An older man said, "If you're going to adopt a child like this, you're not treating the child well. The child is pitiful."

Everyone was making noises of discussion when, just then, the train slowly pulled into a small station and came to a steady stop.

Upon seeing this, the couple's expressions instantly became tense. They hurriedly picked up the child in their arms and pushed forward, shouting to the passengers blocking the way, "Excuse me, everyone, we've arrived at our stop!" Their voices revealed a hint of urgency and panic.

Upon hearing this, Yue Tong, who was sitting to the side, immediately picked up his and the couple's tickets and examined them carefully.

A moment later, he looked up at the couple with a firm gaze and said, "Your tickets do not indicate that you are getting off at this station. Furthermore, based on the current situation, I strongly suspect that you are involved in child trafficking. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Upon hearing these words, the man's expression changed drastically. He abandoned his luggage and began to forcefully push Huai'an, who was blocking his way, attempting to force his way through the crowd and escape the area.

However, Huai'an reacted quickly. She nimbly grabbed the man's wrist and locked it behind his back, shouting, "Don't move! Confess honestly, are you human traffickers? I think this child was kidnapped by you! Otherwise, why are you running away?"

Faced with such questioning, the middle-aged woman immediately let out a sharp cry: "You're talking nonsense! This is clearly my adopted child! We're innocent!" As she spoke, she hugged the child tightly and pushed her way toward the car door without regard for anything else.

But Yue Tong reacted quickly, extending his arm to block her path and sternly warning, "You can't leave now; you must cooperate with our investigation. Xiao Wu, get off the bus immediately and contact the station police station to have them send officers over as soon as possible to handle this matter."

Upon hearing this, the train attendant, Xiao Wu, nodded without hesitation and quickly got off the train and ran towards the police station. At the same time, the other passengers in the carriage also sprang into action, working together to block the door, leaving the two middle-aged men and women with no way to escape.

At this moment, the two of them appeared extremely panicked and dejected, completely losing their previous arrogance, and began to blame each other again.

Not long after, police officers from the station's police station arrived at the scene. After understanding what had happened, they decisively took away the two suspicious middle-aged men and women, as well as the poor child, to further investigate the truth.

The carriage finally returned to calm, but the passengers' emotions were still far from settled...

Ren Weimin asked, "Do you think this child is really adopted?"

Huai'an said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. Besides, the adoption is only his side of the story. We still need to investigate. Moreover, they don't seem like good people. The child probably won't have a good life if he falls into their hands."

Yue Tong nodded and said, "We can't wrong an innocent person, nor can we let a guilty person go free. They can't produce any legal documents for this matter, so we have reason to be suspicious."

He shook Huai'an's hand and said with a smile, "You're quite clever, young comrade. If you ever need anything from the railway, just come to me."

Huai'an chuckled upon hearing this and immediately said, "Thank you, Uncle Yue. If it's not too much trouble, could you help me buy three sleeper train tickets when my parents go back in a few days?"

Yue Tong immediately replied, "No problem, I can help with buying tickets. My wife works at the ticket office. I'll leave you her phone number; call me in advance if you want to buy tickets."

Huai'an's memory was exceptional; the phone number was only read out once, yet it was deeply imprinted in her mind.

With a cheerful smile on her face, she waved goodbye to Ren Weimin and Yue Tong, and then walked lightly back to her own carriage.

At this moment, Li Huaiyuan could no longer contain his curiosity and eagerly poked his head out from the front, asking anxiously, "Why did you take so long? Did something happen?"

Faced with his brother's concerned inquiry, Huai'an smiled and briefly recounted the rescue and anti-trafficking process.

Her words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that left those around her who heard about her experience stunned.

Before they knew it, night had deepened, and the sky, as dark as ink, enveloped the earth. A busy and fulfilling day was coming to an end, and everyone returned to their bunks to rest.

Huai'an lay on the middle bunk, reflecting on everything that had happened during the day, his heart filled with emotion.

Accompanied by the rhythmic clatter of the train, Huai'an gradually drifted into a sweet dream.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window onto the dining table, where Huai'an, Huaiyuan, and their parents sat together and ate breakfast of rice porridge and bread.

After breakfast, they began to busily pack their luggage.

This is the final stop. Everyone had prepared their luggage in advance and lined up in front of the train door. As the train slowly pulled into the station, it arrived at the Beijing station.

The moment the car door opened, a rush of fresh air mixed with noise hit me.

After the train attendant placed the iron ladder, the passengers disembarked one by one with their large and small bags of luggage.

The train station was bustling with people. One line of people was running to board the train, dragging heavy luggage, while another line was walking in the opposite direction toward the exit.

The four people from Huai'an struggled to squeeze out of the carriage and merged into the surging crowd. They dragged their heavy suitcases with difficulty, moving step by step towards the exit.

Everyone was in a hurry, and the four of them stayed close together, afraid of being separated by the crowd.

Just then, a familiar figure unexpectedly entered Shi Huai'an's line of sight. Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Liu Chuyang?

He had jet-black hair, a tall and straight posture, and a pair of bright, piercing eyes beneath thick eyebrows. His straight nose, like undulating mountains, outlined a resolute face. His square face exuded determination and courage.

His lips curled up slightly, revealing a bright and warm smile like the sun. He raised his arm high and waved it vigorously at Huai'an and the others. His movements were fluid, natural, and full of energy, and his joy was palpable, as if he had seen a long-lost friend.

Seeing this, Huai'an and the others felt a surge of joy. They quickened their pace, dragging their luggage towards Liu Chuyang's location.

"Oh my, we've been waiting for you!" Liu Chuyang joked. "If I hadn't picked you up, my grandpa would have twisted my head off."

"Brother Chuyang, it's been a long time!" Huai'an replied with a smile. Then he introduced Huaiyuan and the Shi family elders to Liu Chuyang.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Chuyang helped them with some of their luggage and led them out of the train station. As soon as they stepped out, the bustling and vibrant cityscape of Beijing dazzled them.

The streets were lined with all sorts of shops, their signs dazzling the eye. The roads were also exceptionally wide, bustling with pedestrians and a constant flow of vehicles—a stark contrast to the scene in a small town.

Since there were still a few days before the school registration date, Liu Chuyang decided to take them to a nearby guesthouse for a short rest. Along the way, Liu Chuyang also took the opportunity to introduce them to the local customs and culture of Beijing, as well as some interesting places.

After arriving at the guesthouse and completing the check-in procedures, Liu Chuyang warmly took them to a state-run restaurant for a meal. Although the restaurant was small, it was very popular.

The restaurant was filled with the enticing aroma of food. Five people sat around a table, enjoying the delicious dishes and chatting happily.

Laughter and cheerful conversation filled the restaurant, creating a warm and joyful atmosphere. After the meal, Huai'an insisted on paying the bill and paying with his food coupons. Liu Chuyang laughed and said, "You look down on me, why are you being so formal with me?"

Huai'an laughed and said, "It's already too much trouble for you, and you even took time off to pick us up. You've also taken us out to play these past two days. I can't let you pay for it, otherwise I wouldn't dare let you come with me."

Liu Chuyang smiled and said, "It's okay, I have a job now and I get paid."

Huai'an teased, "Hehe... My sister-in-law told me that she doesn't know if the money you get is enough to date a girlfriend, and she told me to keep an eye on you and tell her as soon as you get a girlfriend."

Everyone laughed, and Liu Chuyang said embarrassedly, "My mom is always worrying unnecessarily, so don't join in the teasing."

Huai'an chuckled mischievously, "Alright, if you do a good job as a guide these next few days, I won't tell on you."

Hehe... Everyone laughed again. Huai'an said, "Just kidding. You don't need to miss work. Write down some tourist attractions we can visit and how to get there by public transport. We'll go by ourselves. You should go to work when you need to. Taking leave is not a good thing."

Liu Chuyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Aunt. I've been transferred back to the provincial capital and all the formalities have been completed. I'll go with you all for a few days to relax and have some fun. Then I can go back with your parents."

Huai'an was taken aback and said, "Really? You're not staying in the capital anymore?"

Liu Chuyang smiled and said, "One of the projects our research lab is working on requires us to be stationed in our provincial capital, so I applied to go. My parents don't know yet; I'll give them a surprise when I get back."
