Free Web NovelChapter 56: Chapter 56: She Can’t Be Allowed to Have a Good Life
’But I can’t do this alone.’
"Mom, I need to tell you something—"
"What is it?"
Bai Siqi leaned close to Mrs. Bai’s ear and laid out her entire plan.
After hearing her out, Mrs. Bai’s eyes widened in disbelief.
"Th-this won’t do—"
’If something goes wrong, won’t I be done for?’
"Mom, what do you mean, ’it won’t do’? Fu Mingxue hurt me, so why can’t I get revenge? As long as she gets abducted by human traffickers, who’s going to know we were the ones behind it?"
"Once she’s been abducted, I’ll take her university acceptance letter and go in her place. Then, once I graduate, I’ll get an assigned job, and I’ll bring all of you to Beijing City to live the good life."
"Besides, Fu Mingxue and her mother have completely ruined my brother’s reputation around here. Even if he gets out, it’ll be hard for him to find a wife. But if we move to Beijing City, who’s going to know about his past?"
"And then we’ll find him a job, and you’ll be able to take your pick of daughters-in-law, won’t you?"
Just listening to the plan, Mrs. Bai could already imagine how wonderful it would be.
It was everything she wanted to hear.
Every single part of the proposal was incredibly tempting.
However, her excitement cooled a little. "But... I don’t know any human traffickers. Where would I even find one? Am I supposed to just go looking on a train?"
The very thought terrified her.
’I can’t do this.’
Others might not know of anyone, but Bai Siqi, with memories from a past life, wracked her brain and did, in fact, think of someone.
"Mom, I know who does this sort of thing. There’s an old woman on the west side of town, they call her Wang Po. I hear she looks kind and gentle, but this is exactly her line of business. You go contact her."
Mrs. Bai was stunned. "What? Wang Po? *She’s* a human trafficker?"
"Wait, how... how do you know that?"
"Mom, don’t worry about how I know. Just go find her. And remember, be discreet. Don’t let anyone see you."
’The fact that I was reborn is unbelievable enough. I can tell Song Yan, but I would never tell my mom.’
’After all, Song Yan likes me; he only has eyes for me.’
’But my mom is different. Her favorite is my big brother!’
"Do we... do we really have to do this?" Mrs. Bai was still hesitant.
’Hiring a human trafficker to sell Fu Mingxue... It’s just too chilling.’
’If this gets out, wouldn’t I be an accomplice?’
Hearing this, Bai Siqi grew angry.
"Mom, who are you sympathizing with? Think about Big Brother! He’s been put away, and there’s no guarantee he’ll be released. Fu Mingxue and her mother are the ones who destroyed him." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Sure enough, the moment her son was mentioned, Mrs. Bai’s expression changed.
She gritted her teeth. "Since they were the ones who did wrong first, they can’t blame me for this."
A smile touched the corners of Bai Siqi’s lips. "Mom, it’s settled then. I’m heading out."
"Wait a minute, I still don’t think this is a good idea. Have you forgotten about Fu Mingxue’s husband? I hear he’s a formidable man!"
Bai Siqi’s breath caught in her throat.
Her mother bringing him up didn’t deter her; on the contrary, it only strengthened Bai Siqi’s resolve.
’I can’t just stand by and watch Fu Mingxue live a good life.’
"Mom, there are so many traffickers out there, but how many actually get caught? That Wang Po is smart. She has three sons, and every one of them is tough."
"No matter how formidable Fu Mingxue’s husband is, he’s a long way from here. He won’t be able to do a thing."
"Who’s going to move heaven and earth to investigate the disappearance of a woman he just married? Is it that hard to find a new wife these days?"
Mrs. Bai thought about it and agreed.
Steeling her resolve, she said, "Fine. I’ll go find her."
Bai Siqi nodded in satisfaction.
’That’s more like it.’
The only reason she knew Wang Po was a human trafficker, however, was because several years later, Wang Po and her entire family were arrested.
The incident had sent shockwaves through the entire town.
