"Okay, then hurry up."

"okay."

After agreeing, Lin Ting ignored the confused looks from the other two and dragged them into the restroom, one in each hand.

"Listen to this..."

"Shh-"

Lin Ting gestured for them to be quiet, then took out his mobile phone, which could be used as a brick, from his backpack and decisively pressed 110.

Zheng Miaoying stared in shock as she saw her suddenly pull out a mobile phone.

"Hello, I'm calling the police—there are human traffickers in the labor market… Yes, I'm sure, they're using high-paying jobs to lure young female students…"

"Five men, two about 1.75 meters tall and three about 1.8 meters tall, all wearing black suits, cheap fabric, and artificial leather shoes. One of them had a tattoo on the back of his left hand."

"They claim to be in the foreign trade business and are now gathered at the entrance of the labor market."

Lin Ting's account was clear and logical, and he described the physical characteristics of those people very accurately.

After carefully noting it down, the operator asked, "Were you a bystander?"

"No, I am the victim."

"..."

"Then, are you safe now?"

"It's alright, it's quite safe. I won't go with them."

"Okay, we'll get there as fast as we can. Please make sure you stay safe and don't go with them."

"Yes, you guys be careful too. I don't know if they have any weapons."

"Ok."

Lin Ting hung up the phone and put the mobile phone into her backpack.

Zheng Miaoying finally realized what was happening and asked with wide eyes, "Are those people human traffickers? Are they going to sell me?"

The nanny next to her was also incredibly shocked, her eyes filled with fear.

Lin Ting patted Yingzi's head: "It's only early spring now, they don't even have a wool coat, they're freezing like little kids; no watch on their wrists, no belt on their waists, not even a briefcase, what big boss would dress like this?"

Zheng Miaoying blinked and whispered, "But I saw they were all wearing suits..."

"Suits should fit well. Theirs are either too tight or too loose, clearly not made to order, not to mention the fabric—my great-grandmother's bedsheets are three times better than those rags."

Lin Ting made a very sarcastic comment.

Zheng Miaoying and the nanny exchanged a glance, both seeing fear in each other's eyes.

"So... what do we do now?"

"Just wait, the police should be here soon."

Lin Ting pinched her nose, her voice slightly distorted.

The police arrived quickly, and about ten minutes later, shouts of "Catch the human traffickers!" could be heard outside.

"Can we go out now?" Zheng Miaoying asked, pinching her nose.

"Don't rush, let's leave after this is all over," Lin Ting whispered. "Safety first."

The three of them endured it for another five minutes before leaving the restroom.

"call--"

The three girls took a deep breath of fresh air.

"This is absolutely terrible," Lin Ting said, her face contorted in pain. "Human traffickers should all go to hell."

"Correct!"

Before leaving, Lin Ting put on one more act—

She looked around at the entrance of the labor market and asked the uncle next to her, "Uncle, have you seen five men in suits? They said they'd help us find jobs."

"Hey?" The middle-aged man, who was smoking, quickly said upon hearing this, "Girl, don't go looking for them! Those human traffickers specialize in deceiving young girls like you!"

Lin Ting was shocked: "No way? He said he was going to help me make a lot of money!"

"Are you stupid? Money is so easy to earn. Go home right now, and don't believe everything you hear in the future."

"Hey, thank you, uncle."

A perfect farewell.

On the way back, Zheng Miaoying asked, "Tingting, why are you still looking for them?"

“I’m afraid they have accomplices,” Lin heard. “What if they guess it was me… I’m afraid of retaliation.”

Zheng Miaoying let out a long "Oh," then turned to the nanny who was still terrified and said, "Sister Feng Yue, don't be afraid, we're not scammers."

They had a brief conversation while hiding in the toilet and learned each other's names.

Feng Yue was clearly the one who was most frightened—not that Yingzi wasn't afraid, but because Feng Yue would have to make a living in the labor market in the future, and such a thing happening before her eyes could happen to her again in the future, so she was really scared.

Feng Yue wasn't afraid of the two girls in front of her, but she was afraid of what would happen in the future.

Lin Ting said softly, "If you're looking for a job in the future, and you're still looking to be a nanny, only go with a couple who come together, preferably middle-aged or elderly people. If a man comes looking for a nanny, no matter what he says or what documents he shows, you absolutely must not go with him."

Feng Yue listened to Lin Ting's words, pursed her lips, and nodded earnestly.

Zheng Miaoying listened and felt it made a lot of sense. She also wanted to ask Lin Ting what she should pay attention to: "Tingting, what about me?"

"Don't take advantage of free lunches from now on," Lin heard. "Don't pick up bargains that are offered to you."

Zheng Miaoying nodded seriously: "I understand... but I have one more question."

"what is the problem?"

Lin Ting knew that the two must be terrified, so she patiently answered their questions.

"When did you buy your mobile phone?" Zheng Miaoying glanced at her backpack.

Lin Ting: "..."

She was wrong.

Feng Yue was genuinely frightened.

But Zheng Miaoying might not be.

……

As the bus swayed and rocked, they arrived back at Beiliao University at four o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Ting opened the shop door, and the three of them walked into the small shop, which was in dire need of rebuilding.

Lin Ting glanced at the bundle in Feng Yue's arms and said, "This is the room that needs cleaning. You can tidy it up, and I'll give you ten yuan a day. There's running water upstairs, and a bed. If you don't have a place to stay at night, there's another bed upstairs, but there are no blankets."

Lin Ting wasn't afraid that Feng Yue would steal things.

The most valuable thing in this shop is that bald broom; if she really wants it, she can take it.

She can't possibly move the house away.

Moreover, Lin Ting also wanted to test her.

Feng Yue, clutching her small bundle, thought for a moment, then blushed and said, "Then...can I stay here tonight? I...I really don't have any money..."

"Okay, you can stay here." Lin Ting carelessly handed her the shop key and ten yuan. "Here's the money, otherwise you won't be able to eat."

Feng Yue's face turned even redder, and she whispered, "I...I...just give me one yuan first..."

"I don't have any change, but you can take this." Lin Ting stuffed the money and keys into her hand. "Remember to lock the door when you go out. I'll come over tomorrow at noon."

"Okay." Feng Yue gripped the keys and money tightly and nodded vigorously.

"Yingzi, let's go."

"Ah? Are you leaving now?"

"Yeah, I'll go back and take a shower."

"Right……"

As Lin Ting and Zheng Miaoying walked out the door and crossed the street, Zheng Miaoying couldn't help but ask her, "Tingting, aren't you afraid she'll run off with the money?"

"Huh?" Lin Ting was pleasantly surprised. "Yingzi, you've actually become wary!"
