Chapter 33: Changing Looks At Will
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madam Wei said, “If she’s really a human trafficker, then she deserves to die.”
Human trafficking was a crime hated by everyone in the world.
Most women knew that it was not easy to be pregnant for ten months. If the flesh that came from their bodies suddenly disappeared, then their life would completely collapse.
Liu Sanniang said to Liu Dalang, “First Brother, go to the government office tomorrow and get the painter to draw a portrait of that woman. Try to help them catch the human trafficker as soon as possible.”
Liu Dalang nodded.
After dinner, it was already dark.
After washing up and drinking some plum syrup, Liu Sanniang went back to her room to sleep.
In a daze, Liu Sanniang opened her eyes and found herself in an unfamiliar house. She looked around in confusion.
What was this place?
She pinched herself and realized that she was in a dream, but she was wide awake. It reminded her of her last dream.
“Creak…”
The door of the house was opened and a middle-aged woman came in with a child in her arms. She closed the door and walked into the house. Every few steps, she would change her appearance. She looked younger and younger until she finally looked like a young woman.
Liu Sanniang frowned. The woman could not see her, so she followed her.
Looking at the woman walking into the backyard, a few fierce-looking men nodded at her. “Miss, we caught three today. We’re only two away from our goal.”
The woman called Hong Ying nodded and handed the child over. “I have another goal. That girl from the Zhou family is as fair and tender as a dough. She will definitely be a beauty in the future. After I abduct her, we’ll leave. Master gave us two months. We only need one month to complete the mission. Master will definitely be very happy.”
Liu Sanniang was extremely shocked. The missing children were actually abducted by these people who had come prepared, and it was obvious that there was a mastermind behind this group of people.
What did they want to do?
Hong Ying seemed to have said something else, but Liu Sanniang could no longer hear her clearly. When she woke up from her dream, it was already bright outside.
The Zhou family was a famous family in Yong County.
Old Master Zhou was a retired official from the imperial court. Liu Sanniang was worried because the criminal was clearly not an ordinary person.
Hong Ying could actually change her appearance. If she became someone from the Zhou family, it would be very easy for her to take the child away.
Liu Sanniang felt uneasy and went to the government office.
Liu Dalang had already described the appearance of the woman for the painter to draw a portrait. Wei Shilai had already made a hundred copies of this portrait and posted them all over Yong County.
Liu Sanniang watched as the officers rushed out with the portrait.
She was a little anxious, so was everyone in the government office. When she said that she wanted to see Magistrate Wei, some of the officers who did not know her could not be bothered to talk to her.
Liu Sanniang insisted again. “I really have something to tell Magistrate Wei. Officer, can you help me inform him? He will definitely see me.”
The officer who was grabbed by Liu Sanniang waved his hand. “Go, go, go. Don’t cause trouble here.”
Liu Sanniang was speechless.
Lin Zheng returned from outside. When Liu Sanniang saw him, she quickly shouted. “Constable Lin.”
Lin Zheng stopped in his tracks. He would probably never forget Liu Sanniang’s voice for the rest of his life. Not long ago, it was this voice that overturned his understanding of this world.
Lin Zheng looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu.”
Liu Sanniang said, “Constable Lin, I want to see Magistrate Wei. The person in the portrait is not the criminal. The real criminal has already found her last target. Her target is the Zhou family. Once she succeeds, she will retreat and run away from here.”
Constable Lin frowned and looked at Liu Sanniang. She was a gentle and beautiful woman. When she spoke, one could tell from her eyes that she was sincere.
But was what she said true? How did she know this?
Constable Lin did not say anything. Instead, the few constables who were with him smiled. “Constable, do you think this girl wants to tell his Lordship something about the human trafficking case?”
Constable Lin nodded.
The constables burst out laughing.
“We’ve been investigating the case for almost a month, but we haven’t found anything yet. How did a girl like you know something? You even said that the Zhou family is the next target. Isn’t that ridiculous? Do you know how many guards the Zhou family has?”
“Do you think the guards of the Zhou family are ordinary people? Let me tell you, the guards of the Zhou family are soldiers, well-trained soldiers. How is it possible to abduct the child from the Zhou family?”
Lin Zheng did not speak up. His colleagues were right.
The Zhou family was the most powerful family in Yong County. Old Master Zhou was a high-ranking official who had retired and come to his hometown. His grandchildren were also in the imperial court now. His two sons were all rich businessmen.
Liu Sanniang was just an ordinary family in Yong County. A woman like Liu Sanniang could not understand how powerful the Zhou family was.
Lin Zheng smiled. “Miss Liu, you don’t have to worry about them. You—”
Before Lin Zheng could finish speaking, he realized that Liu Sanniang was looking at him seriously. At the same time, he could feel a force attacking him, but he could not move.
Liu Sanniang immediately said, “Sorry, forgive me for being rude.”
She was just a woman who wanted to get married to make up for the regret of her previous life.
However, things didn’t seem to go as planned. If she turned a blind eye to the human trafficking case, she would never be able to forgive herself.
There were so many young children missing. What did the person behind the human trafficking team want to do with them?
Other than Yong County, there were also such criminals in other places.
She knew that she was not a god and could not save everyone, but she really could not bring herself to ignore it.
Liu Sanniang knew that the best and most effective way to persuade Lin Zheng was to read his mind. Last time in her dream, after the golden light flew into her body, her ability became stronger. She was also trying to see if she could read Lin Zheng’s mind without touching him.
As it turned out, it was possible.
Under Lin Zheng’s warning gaze, Liu Sanniang said, “Do you want to know why you keep having that dream? Do you want to know?”
Liu Sanniang looked into Lin Zheng’s eyes. After she said that, Lin Zheng’s pupils constricted and his body trembled slightly. He looked at Liu Sanniang, pleadingly. “Enough.”
When Liu Sanniang was using her psychic power on Liu Cheng, he had seen with his own eyes how terrified Liu Cheng was. He did not think much of it back then, but when the same thing happened to him, Lin Zheng realized that it was indeed terrifying.
Liu Sanniang could read his mind whether he wanted to or not. Everything he did could not escape Liu Sanniang. Lin Zheng was certain that if Liu Sanniang continued, she could tell him everything that he did since he was young.
