Because she didn't know what kind of answer the human trafficker would give her, whether her child was alive or dead... She both yearned and feared to know...
But she had been longing for so many years, and she still eagerly wanted to know news of her child!
Her clenched hand gradually loosened, and with a decisive air, she said, "Let's go in."
Detective J nodded and knocked on the door.
After a long while, sparse footsteps came from inside, and then the door was pulled open from the inside, revealing a face.
Ning Xia looked desperately, but it wasn't the human trafficker; it was a typical blonde-haired, blue-eyed citizen of C Country.
He looked at them warily, speaking English with a local accent, asking who they were.
Detective J briefly explained their identities, showing they meant no harm, and after easing the man's suspicions, he took out the photo of the trafficker and asked, "Do you recognize this person?"
