Chapter 57: Under the Dark of Night

Master Huang, the driver, had been driving for six hours straight, he was driving fatigued, his eyelids were fighting, he couldn’t hold on anymore, he was about to pass out, but before he could even doze off, he heard a woman’s chattering voice.

He only had one thought in his mind, finish this job and I’ll quit this year.

This middle-aged woman was a little older, but she should still be able to bear children.

But that female college student is good, they’ll be very happy to receive the goods, and they’ll make a lot of money.

This year, I’ll have a fat year…

Seeing Xia Keqing making a fuss, Yu Hong got out of the car and started crying and making a scene too.

But she was also afraid that Old Huang would get out of the car and scold them.

After all, Old Huang was a grown man, and they were just two women.

She didn’t know if this little girl’s commotion would work.

So she wiped her eyes and looked nervously at Old Huang in the driver’s seat, but he didn’t get up at all, he was slumped over the steering wheel, motionless.

Yu Hong was completely dumbfounded.

She thought, maybe we were wrong?

How could this old man be so calm?

Xia Keqing’s idea was to make a big scene first.

This Old Huang was not right, first he gave them a bottle of water that had been opened, then he didn’t drive according to the route, he pulled them west, it was very suspicious.

But he probably thought that the two women were just fish on a chopping board, they couldn’t make any trouble, so he was just sleeping soundly.

The more he acted like this, the more Xia Keqing was afraid.

She was afraid that he really had some backing, then all her thoughts would be in vain!

The commotion that Xia Keqing and Yu Hong made really woke up quite a few people.

Those who stopped here were mostly truck drivers, although two women making a fuss in the middle of the night was quite annoying, but people were generally helpful at this time, “Girl, what happened?”

“Yeah, you two ladies, you’re howling here in the middle of the night, we can’t even rest!”

Xia Keqing stopped crying, “Gentlemen, we don’t want to do this either, my aunt and I are out and about, we met a bad guy!”

These men looked left and right, they didn’t believe it, “Little girl, you said you met a bad guy, but this is a rest stop, where would there be a bad guy?”

“Yeah, aren’t we all just passing through and resting here?”

Yu Hong quickly said, “The bad guy is our driver!”

These drivers looked at each other, and quickly asked, “Where is he?”

“He’s sleeping in the truck!”

Everyone: …

They all thought these two women were crazy.

The driver was obviously exhausted, he was still slumped over there sleeping! Everyone who drove trucks knew this, they could all understand. Driving trucks was very profitable in this era, but it was also full of opportunities and challenges.

If the guy really had any bad intentions, how could he sleep? He would have gotten up to reason with them by now!

“If he really had any bad intentions, how could he sleep?”

“If I were him, I wouldn’t be able to sleep either, I’d take you two to your destination and sell you first.”

“Or find a contact person to keep an eye on you.”

“Yeah, ladies, you’re probably overthinking it.”

They rubbed their eyes, they all thought women were just drama queens.

Seeing that more and more people were gathering, and Old Huang still didn’t move, Xia Keqing also found it strange, she quickly ran over to take a look, and found the water bottle he had given them in Old Huang’s cab.

Could it be that she and Aunt Hong deliberately put the bottle in the cab, and Old Huang got it wrong, and accidentally drank their water?

If so, that would be great!

Xia Keqing quickly thought about a plan.

There were no mobile phones at this time, if she remembered correctly, even the bulky cell phones wouldn’t be available until the 1990s.

But landlines were already available.

But now they’re on the highway, where would there be a landline?

So she had to get the help of these drivers to drive the truck to the nearest police station.

“He’s not sleeping, he accidentally drank my aunt’s and my water.”

Everyone was even more confused when they heard this.

Yu Hong quickly said, “Yes, that’s right!”

“He gave us two bottles of water, my niece and I didn’t drink them, he accidentally drank them himself, and then he fell asleep. Doesn’t that tell you something?”

“Gentlemen, take a look, my niece and I are from Jiangxi Province, we’re going back to Jiangxi Province from Shenzhen, no matter what, we wouldn’t be here, he’s taking us west!”

The drivers looked at each other, subconsciously taking the map from Yu Hong’s hand.

Truck drivers who drove long distances all had route maps in their cars, otherwise, they wouldn’t know where to drive to all over the country.

They were relatively familiar with the routes, after looking at the map, they found that it was indeed as the two women said, if they were going to Jiangxi Province, they wouldn’t drive this way.

But they were still a little hesitant, “Why don’t we wake this driver up first, ask him carefully, what if we’re wronging him?”

Another driver also said, “There are so many of us here, don’t be afraid, if he’s really a human trafficker, we’ll definitely help you.”

“Yeah! Maybe he’s never been to Jiangxi Province, maybe he accidentally took a wrong turn.”

Hearing this, everyone reacted, and they started talking all at once.

Xia Keqing retorted, “If he accidentally took a wrong turn, would he deliberately give me and my aunt water with something added to it?”

“If we hadn’t been smart, it would have been us, my aunt and I, lying in the car sleeping now.”

Yu Hong quickly said, “That’s right!”

“You big guys, don’t you have any sympathy?”

“You’re just trying to smooth things over, are you in cahoots with him?”

Being said like this by Yu Hong, the drivers were immediately unhappy, “Lady, don’t talk nonsense!”

“We’re all truck drivers, you two just said that he’s a human trafficker, we have to ask him clearly.”

Xia Keqing and Yu Hong looked at each other, “Okay, then wake him up.”

“What if we can’t wake him up? Does that mean he ate something wrong, does that mean he has bad intentions?”

The drivers: “This…”

They thought about it carefully, and they felt that the two women made sense.

As a result, this driver really couldn’t be woken up, “This guy really ate something, otherwise why can’t he be woken up even with slaps?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout, “What are you doing? Do you have any laws? You want to take advantage of the dark of night to attack two women?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Xia Keqing only felt that the voice was familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it.

Because Xia Keqing and Yu Hong woke him up, a driver turned on a big light.

Soon, everyone saw a figure slowly appearing in the light, because he was facing the light, Xia Keqing couldn’t see the person’s face clearly.

But she thought this person was quite bold.

There were so many young and strong men here, only her and Aunt Hong, two women, if it really was a situation where two women were surrounded by a group of men, this brother was also brave, he actually dared to intervene.

Of course, as the “victim”, Xia Keqing admired this act of bravery.

But if he was trying to be a hero, then it’s not advisable to be so reckless.

Unfortunately, there were no mobile phones in this era, otherwise, calling the police would be a matter of minutes…
