Chapter 74 High-end Hunters Often Appear in the Form of Prey
"What 300,000?" Qin Er followed her gaze but only saw a group of people. He didn't know which one she was referring to.
"It's that person wearing black clothes and a hat." Zhouzhou lowered her voice, her face filled with excitement. She suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Second Elder Uncle said they are trying to capture that person, and if they succeed, there's a reward of 300,000!"
300,000!
So much!
Qin Er looked in that direction. The person looked average and could easily blend in with the crowd. They seemed honest and didn't appear to be a bad person. He couldn't help but doubt it and didn't dare to keep staring, afraid of being noticed. He whispered, "Are you sure you didn't mistake the person? If there's a bounty on them, would they dare to stroll around the mall so openly?"
"He's not strolling around openly. He's wearing a hat."
"But can't you still see his face?"
"He's wearing makeup. What we see isn't his real appearance."
"How did you recognize him then?"
"By his physiognomy." Zhouzhou answered naturally.
Qin Er: "..."
He glanced at the talismans on the ground and felt that his little cousin was even more unreliable. He shook his head and said, "Forget it. How could a wanted criminal come here? Impossible."
Seeing his disbelief, Zhouzhou became anxious, fearing that the 300,000 yuan would slip away. She thought about how Grandma talked to Second Elder Uncle earlier and said, "Second Elder Uncle, if it's really him, it's 300,000 yuan. That's enough for you to buy a whole mountain. Don't you want it?"
300,000... Qin Er wavered a bit. "Are you sure it's him?"
"Even if I made a mistake, it won't hurt. I can apologize if needed. Come on, Second Elder Uncle, this is much more valuable than the things you sell. Risking nothing for great profit."
Hearing this, Qin Er was even more tempted. He clenched his teeth and said, "Let's give it a try then."
Qin Er took out his phone to call the police, but Zhouzhou stopped him and said, "Second Elder Uncle, he's not alone. He has several accomplices. If we try to catch him here, the others might escape."
Qin Er was taken aback. "Then what do you suggest we do?"
Zhouzhou motioned for him to come closer and whispered something in his ear.
Her idea was simple: lure the fish, infiltrate their lair, and catch them all. And she would naturally be the bait.
"No, it's not possible." Qin Er immediately rejected the idea without hesitation. This was no joke. If this person turned out to be a human trafficker and something happened to Zhouzhou, not only would the 300,000 yuan go to waste, but his own life would be at stake as well. His uncle and grandparents would definitely tear him apart.
One needs to have a life to spend the money.
She raised her head, smiling, "Uncle, would you like to buy some hairpins? You can buy them for your girlfriend or the kids at home."
The human trafficker smiled and squatted down. He appeared quite amiable, and if it weren't for Zhouzhou's ability to read faces, she might have been deceived by him.
Looking around, he curiously asked, "Little girl, where are your family members?"
Zhouzhou sighed, "It's just my brother and me here. We came here to earn money."
She wasn't lying, but in the human trafficker's ears, it automatically created a tragic background. Otherwise, how could such a young child be out earning money if there wasn't something wrong?
Looking at her clothes, which were not brand-name, they were probably cheap items from a stall.
In fact, these were custom-made by her grandmother, far superior to the branded ones on the market.
The human trafficker had no idea, feeling quite satisfied. Glancing at the time, he said, "It's almost noon, little girl, aren't you tired? How about I treat you to a meal?"
Zhouzhou tilted her head and pondered, "Uncle, why do you want to treat me to a meal? Grandma said we shouldn't go with strangers because there might be human traffickers."
Upon hearing this, the human trafficker became a little angry, "I'm being kind-hearted, seeing how hard you're working. I wanted to treat you to a meal. Since you don't appreciate it, forget it then."
Saying that, he was about to leave. Three seconds later, he heard Zhouzhou calling him, and when he turned around, she smiled mischievously, "Why are you leaving? Didn't you say I'm a human trafficker?"
Zhouzhou appeased him with a smile and awkwardly scratched her bald head, "Sorry, Uncle, I misunderstood you."
"My brother hasn't eaten yet, can you treat both of us?" she asked, pointing in a certain direction.
Qin Er happened to pretend that he had just come out of the restroom, walking over. Zhouzhou waved at him excitedly, like a little puppy that had just gone for a walk, "Brother, this kind-hearted uncle wants to treat us to a meal!"
"Huh?" Qin Er already knew the situation, pretended to be wary, and pulled Zhouzhou closer, giving the human trafficker a few glances. "Why does he want to treat us to a meal? Grandma said we shouldn't eat things given by strangers."
"It's not like that, brother. This uncle is a good person." As if afraid the delicious food would fly away, Zhouzhou quickly explained, "The uncle will treat us to lots and lots of delicious food, chicken, duck, fish, meat, and cake. Isn't that right, uncle?"
Hearing this, Qin Er's mouth also watered, and he looked over with anticipation, as if convinced by her words.
The human trafficker hesitated for a moment. Qin Er was already older and had memories. It wasn't easy to sell a child like him, but a little girl who couldn't remember anything would sell well. Besides, these two had good appearances, so it would be a waste to let them go.
It didn't cost anything anyway.
"Alright, let's go." He waved his hand, feeling like he had hit the jackpot.
Unaware that after he turned his back, the two exchanged a glance and smiled together.
A catch of 300,000 yuan...
