Chapter 32 Hidden dangers of saving people
Chapter 32 Hidden dangers of saving people
"Captain, it's just a small favor. This is what I should do. I really can't accept these things."
Duan Hongzhe had a stiff face and pushed away the things Shen Yuanxing handed over.
When he stopped Shen Anan yesterday, Shen Anan's attitude was not very enthusiastic, but after he heard about what happened last night today, he thought that his information saved Shen Yuanjia after all, so Shen Anan had to owe him a favor, and was planning to find an opportunity to meet her again today.
As long as she gets to know a kind and talented man like him more, he doesn't believe that Shen Anan will not be tempted!
Unexpectedly, Shen Yuanxing came to him early this morning with some things, saying that he was thanking him, but his words were actually warning him to stay away from his sister.
"Take it if I give it to you. If you have any problems in the future, come to the brigade headquarters to find me directly. Stay away from An An." Shen Yuanxing forcefully stuffed the thing into Duan Hongzhe's hand and turned away.
He saw through Duan Hongzhe's little calculations clearly and was too lazy to waste time talking to him. He just wanted to give him a few words. If Duan Hongzhe continued to have ideas about his sister, he would not be the captain in vain.
Duan Hongzhe clenched his fists tightly. Shen Yuanxing's words today were like a whip lashing his self-esteem.
He took a few deep breaths before adjusting his expression. Just as he was about to go back to the educated youth to put his things down, he saw Wang Paner coming out from behind a tree on the roadside with a basket on her shoulder.
"Brother Duan, why did the captain look for you? Why did he ask you to stay away from Shen Anan?" Wang Pan'er asked excitedly. She was planning to go to the town, but unexpectedly she heard the conversation between Shen Yuanxing and Duan Hongzhe when she passed by here.
Wang Paner's questioning made Duan Hongzhe's expression, which had just been adjusted, somewhat uncontrollable, and the feeling of humiliation that had just been suppressed rushed into his mind again.
"What's it to you? You actually eavesdropped on us!"
"Brother Duan, you are mean to me for Shen Anan? Do you like her?" Wang Pan'er couldn't help but raise her voice, her expression excited.
Duan Hongzhe forced himself to calm down. The letter he wrote to his family still had no reply. He had to comfort Wang Pan'er. If Wang Pan'er stopped sending food, his situation in Wanyang Village would become even more difficult.
"Pan'er, how could I bear to be so mean to you!" Duan Hongzhe took two steps forward, took Wang Pan'er's hand, and led her to the grove behind the house.
The entrance to the educated youth center was not a good place to talk, and he couldn't let others see him and Wang Pan'er pulling something.
"Pan'er, it's really because the Shen family bullies us. I was so angry, so I spoke to you a little loudly. Brother Duan wants to apologize to you." Duan Hongzhe's face was full of guilt. He held Wang Pan'er's hand and spoke in a gentle tone.
"What happened? Did they bully you?!" Wang Pan'er was indeed coaxed into diverting her attention.
"Hey, yesterday I accidentally heard that Wu Lanxiang and her daughter were planning to plot against Shen Yuanjia, so I wanted to tell the Shen family about this news. I happened to meet Shen Anan on the road, so I told her directly."
"I just didn't want to see innocent people get hurt, and I didn't expect anything in return. I didn't expect the captain to come to my house today and mock me. His words were telling me to stay away from Shen Anan. It's really... too much." Duan Hongzhe's face was full of shame and anger.
"I said Shen Anan is very noble, and the Shen family are not good people. It's really like a dog biting Lu Dongbin!" Wang Pan'er was indignant, but she was relieved in her heart. The worse Duan Hongzhe's impression of Shen Anan, the more relieved she felt.
"Brother Duan, you are just too kind!"
The more Wang Pan'er looked at Duan Hongzhe, the more she liked him. No wonder Duan Hongzhe had been so good to Shen Anan all his life in his previous life. He was indeed a good person with good character and abilities.
"I already have someone in my heart who I want to be with for the rest of my life. How could I possibly like Shen Anan?" Duan Hongzhe grabbed Wang Paner's hand and looked at her affectionately.
"Brother Duan, I also..." Wang Pan'er felt that her face was red as if it was burning, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.
"Oh no! It's my turn to go to the brigade headquarters to get the farm tools today. How could I have forgotten?"
"Pan'er, I have to go to the brigade headquarters quickly. I can't delay everyone's work." Duan Hongzhe suddenly slapped his head and interrupted Wang Pan'er.
"Brother Duan, go quickly!" Wang Pan'er said quickly, taking out two eggs from the basket.
"Here are two eggs. Take them and eat them before you go back to work!"
"Thank you, Pan'er. I'll go first."
Duan Hongzhe trotted away, and after turning a corner and making sure that Wang Pan'er was completely out of sight, he stopped and slowly walked towards the educated youth point.
Duan Hongzhe showed a somewhat sarcastic smile. Although he wanted to use Wang Pan'er, he had never thought of developing any substantial relationship with her. His goal had always been to return to the city, not to have a relationship with a village girl.

……
Shen family.
Shen Anan was picking mushrooms with Liping and Lihua. This morning, Xia Chunmei took Shen Anan to a small valley she had discovered earlier. After the light rain last night, the valley had become a paradise for mushrooms.
Although there were no precious mushrooms, most of them were fir mushrooms, but the large quantity allowed Shen Anan to satisfy her mushroom picking addiction. She and Xia Chunmei each picked a large basket.
"After we finish cleaning up, I'll make you some fried mushrooms!"
"Auntie, are the fried mushrooms delicious?"
Shen Anan nodded exaggeratedly and promised her nieces: "It's super delicious!"
Shen Liping and Shen Lihua couldn't help but speed up their movements, imagining the taste of fried mushrooms in their minds.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door. Shen Anan opened the door with some confusion, only to see Shen Yuanjia and Officer Xiao Tang standing at the door. Both of them had sweat on their faces and were panting.
"Sixth brother, why are you back at this time?" Shen Anan was surprised. It was not even noon yet. Calculating the time, Shen Yuanjia had just gone to the police station and he rushed back?
Shen Yuanjia's face was very grim. "An An, after a few days of interrogation, one of the human traffickers we arrested finally confessed last night."
"This group of people is a large-scale multi-provincial trafficking gang, and there are accomplices at large in other places. When we led people to the ruined temple, there was still one of their observation posts on the mountain. I guess they saw that the situation was not right and ran away."
"The escaped human trafficker has seen both of us. You'd better not go to town recently, and don't go out alone."
Shen Anan was also shocked after hearing this. Human traffickers have no moral concepts. Those caught in the act will definitely not escape the death penalty, which may lead to crazy revenge from their accomplices outside.
"I understand, Sixth Brother, you must be careful too." Shen Anan said with some concern.
"Don't worry, Sixth Brother will be careful. By the way, tell Mom and Dad that I'll be staying in the police station dormitory for the next few days and won't be coming back."
"By the way, I left my bike at home. If anything happens, come to the town police station to find me."
After giving the instructions, Shen Yuanjia left his bicycle behind, climbed onto Xiao Tang's back seat, and hurried back to town.
Shen Anan hadn't expected that saving people would lead to hidden dangers later on. But even though she was in danger now, she didn't regret saving them. After all, it was the lives of more than 20 children.
However, she also planned not to go to the town for the time being. Anyway, there was no shortage of various supplies in the space. However, she could not deliver the things she promised to Sister Zhou in the near future. She could only explain to Sister Zhou later.
