“Yes, they’ve been caught.”

“That’s good.” Still, Gu Jianing was worried about the child’s condition.

The child had been drugged and hadn’t woken up. The earlier scan results indicated that if the child didn’t wake up soon, the drugs could cause damage to her brain.

There should be medical staff on the train who could save the child, right?

Thinking this, Gu Jianing felt slightly reassured.

Meanwhile, the carriage was filled with discussions and curses about the human traffickers.

After some time, the train conductor and the staff member carrying the child suddenly appeared in Gu Jianing’s carriage.

“Comrade soldier, it was you who reported and helped us catch the traffickers, right? Thank you so much.”

The conductor’s personal thanks made everyone in the carriage realize that it was Sheng Zexi, who was in the same carriage as them, who had discovered the traffickers.

Instantly, everyone looked at Sheng Zexi with awe.

The family of three who had earlier demanded Gu Jianing’s braised pork were especially shocked. They hadn’t expected Sheng Zexi to be the one who caught the traffickers. Thinking back to their earlier provocation, they felt a pang of fear.

“Yes,” Sheng Zexi stood up and saluted the conductor. “Actually, it was my wife who first noticed something off about the elderly couple and smelled the drugs on the child. She told me about it.”

The conductor’s eyes lit up. “Is your wife a doctor?”

Sheng Zexi: “You could say that.”

“Then could we ask your wife to save this child?”

There were indeed medical staff on the train, but their skills were limited. They could tell the child had been drugged but didn’t know how to treat her.

So, they decided to try their luck and brought the child to Sheng Zexi and his wife.

They hadn’t expected that Gu Jianing, who had first discovered the traffickers, was a doctor.

If she could identify the drugs just by smell, could she also save the child?

Sheng Zexi hadn’t expected the conductor to ask Gu Jianing to save the child.

He mentally scolded himself for speaking too quickly. In his heart, Gu Jianing, who had treated his sister-in-law and was about to treat him, must have some medical skills. But now…

Sheng Zexi looked at Gu Jianing, his eyes filled with apology.

He wasn’t sure if Gu Jianing could handle it.

Gu Jianing found his expression both amusing and exasperating, but she looked up at the conductor and said, “Then put her down. I’ll try.”

She said she’d try, but in reality, Gu Jianing had a solution.

“Alright, thank you, comrade.”

Soon, the little girl was placed on the lower bunk. Under everyone’s gaze, Gu Jianing remained calm and took out her set of acupuncture needles.

Earlier, while studying acupuncture techniques in the space to treat her sister-in-law, she had memorized all the acupoints.

So, using acupuncture to wake someone who had been drugged wasn’t difficult.

All eyes in the carriage were on Gu Jianing.

Some people wondered silently if such a young girl could really wake the drugged child.

“Hmph, she’s probably just boasting and showing off,” muttered the woman who had shamelessly demanded Gu Jianing’s braised pork earlier.

Now, she was the one who disliked Gu Jianing the most and secretly hoped she would fail to wake the child.

She muttered under her breath, but due to the crowd, she didn’t dare speak too loudly. Only her husband heard her.

The man glared at her but shared the same hope.

His cold gaze fell on Gu Jianing, and he too hoped the young girl would fail.

“My goodness, those needles are so long.”

“Wouldn’t it hurt to stick those into someone?”

“You’re so ignorant. This is called acupuncture. Look at how she’s holding the needles. She’s clearly skilled.”

Indeed, Gu Jianing had already taken out her acupuncture kit, pulled out a long, thin needle, and quickly inserted it into the little girl’s body.

After a few needles, Gu Jianing stopped.

After a while, she removed the needles.

At that moment, the little girl moved.

“Look, her hand is moving.”

“Her eyelids are twitching too. Is she waking up?”

“Is she really that skilled? Just a few needles and she’s awake?”

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the little girl’s eyelids fluttered, and then she opened her eyes. Seeing strangers all around, she burst into tears.

“Mommy, mommy…”

Perhaps because Gu Jianing was closest, or maybe because the little girl instinctively felt safe with her, she cried and moved closer to Gu Jianing, burying herself in her arms and calling for her mother.

Gu Jianing had always loved children.

Especially this one, who had just been kidnapped and was only three or four years old.

Gu Jianing held her gently, soothing her.

“It’s okay, don’t cry. We’ll help you find your mommy…”

Gu Jianing took out a few pieces of White Rabbit milk candy. “Here, have some candy. Let’s stop crying.”

Candy, as expected, was every child’s favorite and irresistible.

Under the sweet attack of the candy, the little girl stopped crying.

At only three or four years old, the child couldn’t express herself clearly.

After some questioning, Gu Jianing learned that the little girl’s name was Guoguo. She had come with her mother to take the train to find her father.

As for her father’s name, her mother’s name, or where they were going, she didn’t know.

But when she saw Sheng Zexi’s military uniform, Guoguo pointed and said, “Daddy wears that.”

Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi exchanged a glance. Gu Jianing asked Guoguo, “Guoguo, are you saying your daddy wears the same clothes as this uncle?”

Guoguo, with candy in her mouth, nodded without hesitation.

Sheng Zexi: “It seems Guoguo’s father is also a soldier.”

Guoguo said she was following her mother to find her father. Were they visiting family or moving to the military base?

The only question was which military district Guoguo’s father belonged to.

Sheng Zexi studied Guoguo’s face carefully. He felt her face looked somewhat familiar.

Suddenly, a face flashed in his mind, and Sheng Zexi had an epiphany.

“I know whose daughter she is!”

Gu Jianing, the conductor, and the others all looked at Sheng Zexi.

Sheng Zexi said, “If I’m not mistaken, she’s probably the daughter of Battalion Commander Lin, who lives next to our family quarters. Yes, his daughter is named Guoguo, and she’s four years old.”

Although Sheng Zexi and Battalion Commander Lin were both battalion commanders, they weren’t very close.

Battalion Commander Lin had been transferred to the Northwest Military District earlier this year. The reason Sheng Zexi remembered him was because of his dark complexion and serious demeanor.
