Fang Miaomiao emerged from the dressing room and saw someone sneakily carrying a child towards the restroom.
This made her frown slightly. The child’s clothes looked somewhat familiar.
“Madam.”
“Da Chen, why are you here?”
“Master Wen saw you hadn’t come out for a while, so he sent me to check on you.”
“Oh, right. Da Chen, do you know where the window in the restroom leads?”
“It leads to the road behind. What’s wrong?”
Fang Miaomiao’s heart sank. “Da Chen, go out to that road now. I just saw a woman carrying a child go into the restroom.”
Da Chen frowned. “Madam, my mission is to protect you.”
“I know, but what if that person is actually a kidnapper?”
She was increasingly certain that the person she saw earlier was Xixi.
Thinking of the adorable, slightly proud little girl, Fang Miaomiao couldn’t stand still any longer. “Hurry up and go.”
Da Chen gave Fang Miaomiao a serious look. “Alright, I’ll go now. Here’s a small knife, keep it in your handbag; no one will notice.”
“Thank you, Da Chen.”
Fang Miaomiao hurried towards the restroom.
Interestingly, the woman glanced around again and walked back into the banquet hall.
After the woman had walked far away, Fang Miaomiao pretended to be calm and entered the restroom.
It was very quiet inside the restroom.
So quiet that Fang Miaomiao could hear her own breathing.
Fang Miaomiao turned on the faucet, and as she looked up in the mirror, she saw a woman staring at her with cold eyes.
“Whoa, lady, don’t you make any noise when you walk? You scared me to death.”
After a while, the woman said, “Sorry.”
“What are you doing?”
“I’m not…”
Before she could finish, Fang Miaomiao clutched her chest and took a step back. “Are you some kind of obsessive fan? I, I’m telling you, my assistant and manager are outside. If I shout, you’re finished.”
The woman paused and took a step back. “I’m not your fan.”
“You’re not my fan? Then why are you looking at me like that?”
“You’re good-looking. Alright?”
In that plain sentence, Fang Miaomiao heard a hint of gritted teeth.
“I think I’m good-looking too.”
As Fang Miaomiao spoke, she went to open the door.
“What are you doing?”
“Are you sick? I came to the restroom, and if I don’t use the toilet, what else would I be here for?”
The woman said nothing.
“Huh, why won’t it open? Is someone inside?”
“Someone is inside. The second stall from the window is empty.”
“Hey, how did you know?” Fang Miaomiao asked curiously, then realized. “I see, you’re cleaning staff. No wonder you know which stall is empty. Thank you, otherwise I’d have to search for a restroom everywhere.”
Saying this, Fang Miaomiao glanced out the window as she entered the restroom.
Good, she couldn’t see anything. She wondered how Da Chen was doing.
Closing the restroom door, Fang Miaomiao opened her phone.
She dialed Wen Zhiyan’s number.
“Miaomiao.”
“Hello, why aren’t you here yet? I don’t want to go with that old man, he’s so annoying.”
“Da Chen has already gone. They’ve confirmed someone is there and called the police.”
“That’s good then. You don’t know how disgusting that old man is. He even wanted others to come along. Pfft, do I look like that kind of woman? He’s making me so angry.”
The woman outside Fang Miaomiao’s restroom stall heard this. Seeing someone carrying a child approach, she shook her head at Fang Miaomiao.
Another person nodded and quietly pushed open an adjacent stall, placed the child inside, and then squeezed in herself.
“Miaomiao, come out.”
“No way. Who knows if that scumbag will have people waiting outside for me? If I go out now, I’ll lose big time. I’ll wait until my manager arrives.”
“Miaomiao.” Wen Zhiyan was anxious, even a little helpless. If he could stand up openly, could he just go in and find Miaomiao? “We’ve arranged for people. Don’t worry, just walk out quietly, okay?”
Fang Miaomiao let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief. “Alright. Since you’re here, come to the entrance to pick me up. The thought of what just happened makes me sick.”
“Okay.”
Fang Miaomiao opened the door. The woman was still standing by the mirror.
“Hey, why are you still here?”
“I’m responsible for the restrooms in this area.”
“You didn’t hear that phone call just now, did you?” Fang Miaomiao said as she tucked money into the woman’s hand. “Uh, you didn’t hear anything just now, understand?”
The woman glanced at the bills in her hand.
“What, is it too much?” Fang Miaomiao confidently took one bill back. “You’re really kind. I believe you. You definitely won’t gossip. Thank you.”
After saying that, Fang Miaomiao adjusted her clothes and left as if nothing had happened.
The woman looked at the bills in her hand for a long time before chuckling and shaking her head.
“Why didn’t you kill her just now?”
“We’re traffickers. Killing will only increase the target, and besides, she’s a celebrity.” The woman casually stuffed the money into her pocket. “Alright, this month’s target is almost met. Let’s leave.”
“They’re all fair-skinned young masters and ladies. We’ll definitely be able to sell them for more money.”
“Less nonsense.”
After meeting up with people outside, the two of them sent the three children away.
“Aren’t you coming with us?”
“No need.” The woman gave her a faint glance. “You’re not qualified to tell me what to do.”
The other person rolled her eyes and climbed out the window. “Who wants to tell you what to do anyway.”
The woman also put on her hat, obscuring her entire face, and left through the main entrance brazenly.
“Are you alright?” Wen Zhiyan looked Fang Miaomiao up and down.
“I’m fine. Where’s Da Chen? Why is Xin Xuan driving?”
Xin Xuan said pitifully, “Madam, is there something wrong with me driving?”
“No, I’m just worried about Da Chen.”
“Da Chen is following them, preparing to see if they can find any tail with the police.”
Fang Miaomiao nodded, carefully taking a banknote out of her bag.
“Madam, what is this?”
“Do you have a bag? Just now, when that woman wasn’t paying attention, I got her fingerprints.”
Xin Xuan was dumbfounded. “Madam, you’re that capable?”
“Of course.” Fang Miaomiao puffed out her chest. “Heh heh, I’ll hand it over to the police, just in case.”
Xin Xuan gave her a thumbs-up and then fetched a small bag for Fang Miaomiao.
“Let’s go.”
“Will Xixi and the others be alright?” Fang Miaomiao was still a little worried.
“Don’t worry, Madam. Undercover officers and Da Chen are on it. Xixi and the other children will be fine.”
“Am I very timid?”
Fang Miaomiao had originally wanted to rescue Xixi, but for some reason, when she met those cold eyes, she couldn’t move at all.
Fortunately, her remaining rationality allowed her to use her professional skills to act, and she used the opportunity to send out the information.
