Chapter 2519: Open the Box
However, there were only two of them and the boy was absent.
They had just stared straight at the boy, and now they were selling handicrafts here at ease. Gu Ning believed that the boy’s disappearance must have something to do with the two strange men.
Where did the boy go?
Thinking of that, Gu Ning walked towards the two men. She decided to look at their stand first.
When Gu Ning reached the stand, she saw them sitting on a big box. The box seemed to contain those handicrafts, but Gu Ning guessed that the boy might be in it.
Without delay, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see what was inside. The moment she saw it, she was surprised, because the boy was really inside!
Gu Ning used her senses to feel the boy. Luckily, the boy was only passed out and not dead.
Although Gu Ning didn’t know why the two strange men caught the boy and who was in the wrong, she knew that it was illegal.
No matter what, she had to do something since she already witnessed it. Therefore, Gu Ning deliberately stayed in front of the two strange men’s stand for a while. There was nothing she liked, so she walked away afterwards.
She didn’t go far, and stopped after walking ten meters. The two strange men were still in her sight.
Because of the lantern show at the City God Temple, there were many policemen patrolling around. Gu Ning quickly found two policemen who patrolled together, then directly told them that she just saw two men beat a boy unconscious and squeeze him into a box.
Upon hearing that, the two policemen were shocked and asked her to make sure of it, “Are you sure? You could be put in detention if you cry wolf.”

He asked that question not because he was suspicious of Gu Ning, but because it was a part of his job.
“I’m sure,” said Gu Ning seriously.
“Great, guide the way please,” said the policeman.
After that, Gu Ning took them over.
The two men remembered that Gu Ning had come to their stand, and now she was back with two policemen. Because they had done bad things, they panicked at once. However, they couldn’t run away, or it would be a confession of their crime. Besides, they didn’t think that it had something to do with the boy.
Perhaps they could get away with it!
When Gu Ning walked towards the stand with two policemen, they attracted a lot of attention. Some people even walked forward to watch them.
Since Gu Ning had already introduced the situation to them, the two policemen didn’t bother to ask questions. Instead, they directly said, “Someone reported something to us just then. You’re suspected of beating a boy unconscious and squeezing him into the box. Please open the box and let us have a look.”
Although they believed Gu Ning’s words, they couldn’t do their job through violence.
Upon hearing that, the two men panicked again. How did the police know that? Someone reported it to them?! Who? This girl?
Subconsciously, the two men denied it at once. “W-Who told you that? It’s nonsense! We didn’t do that!”
“Right, we’re innocent.”
Onlookers turned to glare at the two men, because the public hated human traffickers a lot.
The first idea that appeared in their mind was that the two men were human traffickers.
Even though the two men denied that they had beaten a boy unconscious before squeezing him into the box, onlookers refused to believe it.
“Open the box, and we’ll know.”
That was what the police were going to say, but an onlooker said that first.
“Right, open the box, and we’ll know.”
“Open it!”
Onlookers shouted, but they were not trying to make a scene. Instead, they did it out of a strong sense of justice. They wanted to know whether there was a boy in the box, otherwise they wouldn’t let the two men go.
Seeing that their secret would be exposed right away, the two men understood that it was too late to deny it now. Therefore, they made up their mind to run away.
The next moment, they exchanged a glance and reached a tacit agreement, then they immediately ran.
Although there were many onlookers, there was still a way out, so they thought that they could still escape.
However, would they succeed? Of course not.
Actually, even if there was no one watching them and they could run in all directions, it was still impossible for them to get away with it.
Once they ran, the two policemen caught them separately. Although the two men were strong and struggled at once, many nice onlookers went up and helped the two policemen catch them.
The box wasn’t open yet, but the fact that they tried to run away proved that they were guilty. If they were innocent, they would have listened to the police and opened the box.
When the two policemen went to catch the two men, Gu Ning immediately walked to open the box. It wasn’t good for the boy to be locked inside for so long.
Afterwards, many people went closer to see whether the boy was still fine in the box.
As soon as Gu Ning opened the box, everyone could see there was indeed a boy in it. At this moment, the public got angrier. How could the two men treat a boy so badly?
“Is he alright?” asked someone.
“Sure, he just passed out,” said Gu Ning, then she pinched the boy’s philtrum. She used that as a cover as she was putting magical power into the boy’s body.
After about ten seconds, the boy gradually woke up. Seeing that, everyone was relieved. It was a good thing that the boy was fine.
However, the boy wasn’t fully conscious, so he didn’t know what had happened.
At the same time, the two policemen totally controlled the two men. Because they didn’t carry handcuffs with them, they let several onlookers catch them first. After that, a policeman walked over to ask about the boy’s situation.
“How are you? Are you alright?” asked the policeman.
“He’s fine. He just woke up, so he isn’t fully conscious,” said Gu Ning.
“Thank you so much, miss. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have known that such a terrible thing happened.” The policeman thanked Gu Ning.
When onlookers heard that Gu Ning went to the police for help, they immediately complimented her.
“You’re welcome. I think no matter who saw it, they would do the same. There are a lot of bad people in this world, but there are also a lot of good people,” said Gu Ning.
After doing so many good deeds, Gu Ning felt little pride for doing it anymore. Instead, she felt it was just a little favor.
What Gu Ning said impressed the police.
