"Human trafficker!" Lin's mother's pupils constricted, and she quickly held Lin Yan tighter.
Although she didn't know how her daughter knew the person over there was a trafficker, she trusted her daughter's judgment. Yan Yan wouldn't say so if she wasn't absolutely sure.
"What are you doing! Give me back my child!" The middle-aged woman was flustered, but still ran up to Lin Yan to demand the child.
This child already had a buyer, so she couldn't let anyone snatch him away like this.
"How could you do this! Just taking someone else's child. Little girl, quickly return the child to me!"
Lin Yan's parents stood in front of Lin Yan, preventing the middle-aged woman from getting close.
"This is not your child. We've already called the police. Wait for them to arrive and talk to the police!" Lin's father protected his daughter and his wife, fearing that the person might become desperate and do something.
"What do you mean not my child! I just went to the restroom, and this little classmate was supposed to watch my child for me. How can you deny it now that I'm back!"
She squeezed out a few tears and then tried to grab the child again.
"Who does things like this! Just asking someone to watch the child and then refusing to return them. You're human traffickers, aren't you! Give the child back to me!
Everyone, please judge! This little girl is holding someone else's child and won't return them!"
At this moment, the crowd was also drawn to the commotion. More and more people gathered around. Everyone was curious about what had happened and those who didn't know the cause and effect were focused on what was going on.
Someone who heard the middle-aged woman's words couldn't help but say, "Why is this little girl holding someone else's child?"
"Could she really be a human trafficker?"
"She doesn't look like one!"
"But who can say for sure? You can't judge a book by its cover."
"I told you, I've already called the police. We'll discuss it when the police get here."
Lin's father held Lin Yan tightly. He had just seen the woman trying to put something on his daughter's face. Thinking of the methods used by traffickers, Lin's father felt a pang of lingering fear.
"He adamantly said he's called the police, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? If they were really traffickers, they wouldn't be so direct about calling the police."
The onlookers who heard Lin's father's words also felt that he likely suspected the other party's identity.
"That's really my child! Give my child back to me! You're talking about calling the police, but you definitely haven't. You're the human trafficker, and you want to take my child."
Seeing that everyone was starting to doubt her identity, the middle-aged woman immediately sat on the ground and began to throw a tantrum.
"If you don't believe us, you can call the police yourselves. We'll wait here," Lin's mother said.
"This is our daughter. She just finished her high school entrance exam, and her admission ticket is still in her bag. If you don't believe us, you can take it out and show you.
When we first arrived, she tried to attack our daughter, and we stopped her. She even accused us of being human traffickers when she was the one.
If we hadn't arrived quickly, our daughter would have been taken away by them."
Lin's mother spoke logically, and Lin Yan handed her personal bag to Lin's mother so she could take out her admission ticket.
"This shouldn't be fake, right!"
"Why is the baby so quiet? Such a big baby, wouldn't they fuss if something was wrong?"
...
Everyone was discussing the inconsistencies. The middle-aged woman also realized that she couldn't waste any more time. They had to snatch the child quickly. As for that girl?
She was so beautiful, she could definitely be sold for a good price. Since this girl had ruined her plan, she would make sure to sell her to the poorest mountain area!
"The clothes and shoes on this child are all designer brands. This single swaddle alone is worth at least thirty to forty thousand. This auntie probably doesn't have the financial ability to buy such baby products, does she!"
Lin Yan spoke up, looking at the middle-aged woman with disdain. She was dressed very plainly for convenience, her entire outfit probably costing less than 300 yuan.
"Who said that! These are just cheap things my relative gave me, how would I know they're so expensive!" the middle-aged woman quickly denied.
"Is that so?" Lin Yan found a tag on the edge of the swaddle. "This brand is known as the Hermes of baby products. You can search it online!"
Lin Yan actually didn't recognize the brand either, but by chance, she had recently seen a trending topic about this brand. A celebrity's child endorsed clothes from this brand.
That's why she knew the brand, which further confirmed that this woman was a human trafficker, and she was abducting a child from a relatively wealthy family.
She didn't know where this child would be sold, but it certainly wouldn't be as good as their previous family.
Someone who could buy such expensive baby products for their child must be a wealthy family. How worried would their family be if such a baby was lost!
Thinking of what the original owner and the true daughter went through after being swapped at birth, she couldn't bear for this child to experience the same thing.
So she directly went over and "accidentally" bumped into the woman just to confirm the child's condition.
Indeed, even after being bumped, the baby showed no reaction. Fortunately, it was just some sedative, which should not cause any significant harm to the child.
"This, this is something a relative of mine gave me, how would I know it's so expensive!" the middle-aged woman quickly denied.
"You're contradicting yourself. Are you sure you have nothing to hide!" Lin's father said sternly.
At this moment, the onlookers also realized that this middle-aged woman was likely a human trafficker, and the child might have a problem.
Everyone looked with concern at the young girl holding the child. They saw her tightly holding the baby in her arms, hiding behind her parents, but even so, she had pointed out all the irregularities she had discovered.
"Is the baby alright?" someone asked.
"We can't let her go, traffickers deserve to die!"
"Right, we can't let her go!"
"There's another person over there, her accomplice! He was blocking our daughter behind her, blocking her escape route, and letting his accomplice drug our daughter!" Lin's father pointed to another person.
After Lin's father pointed, that person quickly retreated, trying to quietly escape from the crowd's sight.
"We can't let him get away!"
"Stop him!"
The middle-aged woman knew she had been exposed. After exchanging a look with her accomplice, she prepared to divert attention and escape in the chaos.
