The sound of footsteps grew closer and closer.
Yu Jian’an was so anxious that large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
He couldn’t help thinking that the talisman his little sister had given him must have been a Bad Luck Talisman. Otherwise, why would he have run into such a life-threatening situation?
Wait! His little sister had given him an Invisibility Talisman!
He needed to find it quickly!
Finally, his mind began working again despite the overwhelming panic.
He hurriedly fumbled for the Invisibility Talisman and pulled it out.
Well, it’s better than doing nothing. I might as well give it a try!
With that thought, Yu Jian’an stuck the talisman onto his body.
The moment he did, two tall, burly men holding daggers appeared right in front of him.
Yu Jian’an held his breath. Both hands gripped the handlebars tightly as he prepared to throw his bicycle at them if necessary, hoping to create enough time to escape.
“Scarface, there’s no one here. You must have heard wrong!”
The bald man looked at the fierce-looking Scarface standing beside him.
Scarface looked around. There really wasn’t anyone there.
He was naturally cautious. Whenever he heard even the slightest unusual noise, he had to investigate before he could feel at ease.
“Maybe I heard wrong. Let’s go!”
Scarface said this before leading the way back.
The bald man looked around once more. Seeing nothing unusual, he followed him.
When Yu Jian’an saw them leave just like that, he finally realized that they really couldn’t see him!
His little sister’s Invisibility Talisman actually worked! Unlike the Good Luck Talisman, which he had suspected of being ineffective, this one had saved his life!
Thank goodness! He had narrowly escaped disaster!
Once Yu Jian’an calmed down, he quickly regained his composure.
He slowly poked his head out and saw the two men disappear around the corner. He immediately got on his bicycle and followed them.
Remembering how sharp Scarface’s hearing was, he rode extremely carefully, not daring to make even the slightest noise.
His nerves remained taut throughout the journey as he followed them from a distance.
The three men led the woman along for quite a while.
Finally, they arrived at a secluded courtyard.
After the men entered the gate, Yu Jian’an hid his bicycle and found a spot where he could quietly climb over the courtyard wall.
He didn’t dare approach the room where Scarface and the others were talking. Those men were simply too alert.
Throughout the journey, Scarface had repeatedly turned around to look behind him. If he hadn’t been invisible, Yu Jian’an would certainly have been discovered.
He cautiously approached the place where he could hear a woman crying.
Peering through the crack in the door, he saw several young women tied up inside.
They were human traffickers!
He checked the neighboring room and discovered that there were several children inside as well.
Yu Jian’an was furious, but he hadn’t lost his sense of reason.
There was no way he could rescue so many people by himself.
He carefully retraced his steps and left the courtyard.
He was still invisible, and anything he held in his hands would also become invisible with him.
After getting back on his bicycle, he immediately headed for the police station to report the crime.
When he was almost there, he tore off the talisman, making himself visible again.
“Send people out to search immediately! My daughter left home this morning and still hasn’t returned. Something must have happened to her!”
“I don’t care what methods you use. Get everyone out there and find her!”
A man wearing a Zhongshan suit was shouting loudly inside the police station.
“Director Li, please don’t worry. We’ll send people out to search immediately.”
Director Chen, the head of the police station, was sweating profusely.
Director Li from the Revolutionary Committee was in a panic because his daughter had left home that morning and still hadn’t returned by noon.
In Director Chen’s opinion, she had probably gone to visit a classmate.
But Director Li didn’t see it that way. He was convinced that something might have happened to his daughter.
He knew his daughter very well. If she said she would be home at a certain time, she would always keep her word.
Now she was already more than two hours late. Something must have gone wrong!
“My daughter was wearing a red-and-white checkered dress with a pair of black leather shoes when she left this morning.”
No matter how anxious Director Li was, he understood that providing as many details as possible would make it easier for them to find her.
As soon as Yu Jian’an entered the police station, he heard the man in the Zhongshan suit talking about his missing daughter.
The moment he heard the description, he immediately remembered the young woman he had seen being abducted.
Wasn’t she wearing exactly that outfit?
“Um… I know where that young woman is.”
Yu Jian’an suddenly interrupted.
Everyone immediately turned to look at him.
Yu Jian’an nervously swallowed.
“I’m here to report a crime.”
After Yu Jian’an explained everything that had happened, Director Chen immediately organized a team.
Since the kidnappers were carrying controlled weapons, there was also a possibility that they possessed firearms.
Director Chen immediately contacted the local Armed Forces Department to coordinate a joint operation.
As the person who had reported the crime, Yu Jian’an led a group of police officers to the location and helped them establish a perimeter around the property.
Once the Armed Forces personnel arrived, a fierce fight broke out.
In the end, they successfully rescued all the abducted women and children.
Director Li’s daughter was among them.
Fortunately, the rescue had come in time, and his daughter had not suffered any abuse.
After Yu Jian’an finished giving his statement at the police station, Director Li stopped him as he was leaving. Director Chen was also standing behind him.
“Comrade Yu, I heard you just graduated from high school and are still looking for a job, is that right?”
Director Li had already heard why Yu Jian’an had come to the county town that day.
“Yes, Director Li,” Yu Jian’an answered somewhat nervously.
“Director Chen, don’t you think a young man like this, who’s capable, courageous, and quick-witted, would make an excellent police officer?”
Director Li smiled at Director Chen.
“Exactly, Director Li. I couldn’t agree more.”
“Comrade Yu, you’ve helped our police station solve such a major case today. You’re certainly entitled to a reward. In addition to giving you 200 yuan, we’d also like to offer you a permanent position at the police station. What do you think?”
Seeing that Director Li had already made the suggestion, Director Chen naturally wanted to make the arrangements.
The young man also had a good physique. With some additional training, he should be perfectly capable of handling the job.
“Thank you, Director Li! Thank you, Director Chen! I’ll definitely work hard!”
Yu Jian’an was absolutely delighted.
His little sister’s Good Luck Talisman really worked!
Director Li arranged to treat Director Chen to a meal at the state-run restaurant another day before leaving.
He still needed to take his daughter to the hospital for a medical examination before he could finally feel at ease.
“Come and report for duty tomorrow!”
Director Chen patted Yu Jian’an on the shoulder before leaving as well.
“Yes, Director!”
Yu Jian’an answered with a smile.
By the time he left the police station, it was already mid-afternoon.
He immediately sped to the supply and marketing cooperative and told his second older brother that he had found a job at the police station, so there was no need for him to keep looking.
Yu Jianming was stunned.
How had his younger brother found a job so quickly? Since when had finding employment become so easy?
Yu Jian’an didn’t have time to explain. He still had to hurry home.
“Second Brother, I’ll tell you everything next time. It’s getting late, and I need to get home. Dad, Mom, and Little Sister are waiting to hear my news.”
Seeing how excited Yu Jian’an looked, and realizing that it was indeed getting late, Yu Jianming told him to head home first.
It was good enough that he had found a job. As for how he had managed to get it, he could ask about that next time.
Yu Jian’an had been running around all day, but he didn’t even feel hungry.
He was still completely caught up in the excitement of everything that had happened.
What a day it had been! Full of danger, twists, and unexpected turns!
He rode home at full speed.
The villagers hadn’t even finished their day’s work when Yu Jian’an arrived home.
“Little Sister! Little Sister! I found a job!”
The moment Yu Jian’an entered the courtyard, he shouted excitedly.
He tossed his bicycle against the wall of the courtyard and immediately rushed toward Yu Huan’s room.
Hearing her third brother’s excited shouting, Yu Huan knew he was practically beside himself with joy.
She had just stepped out of her room when she nearly collided with Yu Jian’an.
Yu Jian’an quickly slammed on the brakes.
