Xiao Xuan's family moved away because Xiao Xuan's father had an affair. When her mother found out, she had a big fight with her father and they got divorced. After the divorce, Xiao Xuan's mother was in poor mental health, often drinking heavily and treating Xiao Xuan poorly.
Xiao Xuan felt very insecure; she believed that if it weren't for her, her parents wouldn't have divorced. She often told me, "Xiao Ling, I wish I didn't exist." I replied, "Xiao Xuan, don't think like that. We will always be good friends." Xiao Xuan nodded with tears in her eyes and said, "Yes! Xiao Ling, we will be lifelong friends."
Later, Xiao Xuan's mother remarried, and Xiao Xuan moved in with her stepfather. The stepfather did not like Xiao Xuan and often hit and scolded her. Xiao Xuan's mother also ignored her, leaving her to fend for herself. Xiao Xuan felt very lonely, and I felt lonely too. We promised to be friends for life.
After Xiao Xuan became pregnant, our contact gradually decreased. Until one day, she sent me a message: "Xiao Ling, my mother-in-law seems to want to kill me. What should I do?" I tried calling her, but the call wouldn't go through. I contacted Xiao Xuan's parents, but they said that if Xiao Xuan died, they would pretend they never had a daughter.
I gritted my teeth and decided to report it to the police. However, due to insufficient leads, the police did not open a case. After leaving the police station, I ran into Junior Sister. Her father is the police chief, and she is now a police officer.
Junior Sister said she was currently monitoring a case involving the cross-province trafficking of women and children. I shared my experience with Junior Sister, and after listening, she furrowed her brows tightly. She said that Xiao Xuan was likely taken by traffickers who sell women.
The traffickers are very cautious; their operations are almost risk-free, and even if they get caught, the losses are minimal. My Junior Sister told me that these individuals are extremely cunning and difficult to apprehend. To catch them all, we must find evidence.
Xiao Xuan is dead, and someone needs to act as bait to gather that evidence. I gritted my teeth and volunteered, "Let me do it." Over the next year, I learned hypnosis. After my first encounter with Chen Gang, I hypnotized him.
My Junior Sister brought a team to the area with me. They hid near the village, waiting for my signal. During my interactions with Chen Gang and his mother-in-law, I deliberately instilled feelings of guilt in them. At their most remorseful moment, I used hypnosis on them. They confessed to their crimes.
Over the years, they had trafficked and murdered dozens of women and sold their babies. Chen Gang was responsible for finding victims, primarily targeting solitary female college students or young women who had come to the city for work. They were lonely, without friends, and if they disappeared, no one would notice.
I was one of his prey. Xiao Xuan was lured back home by Chen Gang; she was tortured to death by his mother-in-law and buried under the tiles of the toilet in her former residence. After discovering Xiao Xuan's body, I knelt in the bathroom, trembling hands covering my face.
Xiao Xuan's body had already decomposed and was cut into several large pieces. I cried out in anguish. "Xiao Xuan, I'm sorry; I'm too late." A month later, Xiao Xuan's daughter was found. Xiao Xuan's parents were unwilling to adopt the child.
I became the guardian of the child.
That night, I had a dream about Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan was holding the baby and smiling at me, saying, "Li Ling, thank you for taking care of the baby. I'm at ease knowing the baby is with you."
When I woke up, I found the baby lying beside me. There were traces of kisses on the baby's face. My nose tinged with emotion, and my eyes became moist. I would protect this child with my life.
Junior Sister asked me, "Li Ling, how did you hypnotize them?" I replied, "Hypnosis requires certain conditions; first, the person must trust the hypnotist. Also, hypnosis carries risks and can easily fail."
Junior Sister nodded, "The case has been solved; Chen Gang and his mother both confessed. Chen Gang was sentenced to death, while his mother received a life sentence."
I pushed the stroller to the place where I first met Xiao Xuan during our childhood. I crouched down and touched the baby's face, saying, "Baby, this is where your mother and I first met."
"Xiao Xuan, thank you for protecting me back then." The baby cried, and I picked her up. We exchanged smiles.
