Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lina Yan had not returned to school either.

Her parents did come and make a scene twice, reportedly because she was expelled.

They even brought a group of reporters, hoping to pressure the school.

They claimed that their decent daughter went to school and suddenly became a human trafficker, asking if the school was also greatly responsible...

The incident created a huge uproar that day, and the next day, Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran saw the official response to the case.

At that time, according to Officer Li, it was confirmed that the human trafficker organization had been completely taken down.

The police that had been following Luo Yanran had also gone back.

The official statement was that Lina Yan was actually a minor leader of the trafficking organization and she was the one who contacted overseas organizations online.

As for the members of the organization, they were not friends from her village.

They were simply people from society whom she had tricked and brainwashed online after meeting them.

Everything she had previously told them were lies.

She had even deceived several girls online into going abroad.

All of them were her "best friends."

As for this incident with Wang Wan, it really wasn't her fault.

It was the Liu brothers who thought the "fish" was slipping away and acted on their own without telling Lina Yan.

The result was a failure.

The police also found a computer in the room she rented outside, which even had the information of all the girls from their class.

One of the items listed was "Trust Level."

This was these girls' level of trust in her.

Lina Yan was a very calculated human trafficker.

According to her confession, she originally planned to invite Wang Wan for a trip after the winter break before making her move, but the Liu brothers' presumption blew their cover.

As for her reason for doing this, it was simple, "It brings quick money without much effort."

Lina Yan's family background was not good; in fact, it was quite poor.

In their village, there even used to be a custom of buying brides.

Girls were even less valued.

Lina Yan grew up in this environment, hearing from villagers about who had bought their wives from overseas, from poorer countries...

She was smart from a young age and knew that only through education could she leave the village.

So, she also worked hard in her studies.

But it wasn't until she actually left the village and attended high school in the city that she realized how big the gap between people could be.

Her poverty made her feel inferior, and it was then her already unhealthy mental state began to twist.

"The first person she deceived was a high school friend who was really nice to her." At this moment, Qi Yan sat in Xie Xiao and Luo Yanran's living room, looking speechless.

This was all information Qi Yan knew from his brother, as Officer Li only gave an overview, not this much detail.

This part about the criminal's upbringing might not affect the case, and it might even be published in the papers in a while; Qi Yan just heard about it in advance from his brother.

Xie Xiao poured him a glass of water. Luo Yanran listened in shock, unable to see that Lina Yan had an unhealthy mental state, though she occasionally sensed something odd about her behavior.

Xie Xiao asked, "So she has a mental problem?"

"She wished and even tried to fake it, but no use," Qi Yan sneered, "A few experts have assessed her, and they concluded she's just mentally twisted, no real mental issues."

Xie Xiao shook his head, "So she faked studying well and opted for the law school? Impressive."

Luo Yanran sighed, "She indeed didn't study well; she was at the bottom of her class in the last midterms."

It had already started to snow during this period, the weather turning cold.

Qi Yan took a sip of the warm hot cocoa and praised, "Xie Ge, you're really thoughtful."

Xie Xiao laughed, "I made it for my wife, you're just getting the extra benefit."

Luo Yanran, feeling a bit embarrassed, gently patted Xie Xiao, but Qi Yan politely said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. But when are you guys heading home?"

At this point, they had all finished their exams, and the other people in Xie Xiao's dorm had already gone back.

Qi Yan lived nearby, so he came over to hang out.

Xie Xiao thought for a moment, "I think our flight is in three days."

"Okay," Qi Yan said and pulled a thick stack of folders from his backpack, "Let's finish discussing these broadcasters before you leave."

Upon seeing this, Luo Yanran said, "You guys go ahead, I won't disturb you."

Luo Yanran returned to the bedroom to read a book since the living room was occupied.

Once she had gone inside, Qi Yan lowered his voice and said, "Actually, what I didn't mention earlier is that Yan Lina had not only put trust ratings on each girl's file, but also prices and grades."

Xie Xiao frowned as he looked at Qi Yan, who lowered his voice even more, "Sister-in-law's grade is S-level, the highest price."

His brother hadn't said much more, but seeing the disdainful look when his brother mentioned Yan Lina, it sure was tough.

Sure enough, Xie Xiao's face turned ugly, "She really dares..."

"Hey, luckily we caught it early, or who knows what might have happened later," Qi Yan shook his head, "Such people are terrifying; it's good I didn't keep chatting with her. She might have tricked me next."

It's really hard to say; when you're an observer, you wonder how anyone could fall for such a scam.

But when you are involved, it suddenly seems like you lose the ability to judge.

That's why many seemingly smart and even successful people get scammed.

These things really should not be underestimated.

That afternoon, Xie Xiao was mostly reviewing those broadcasters' information with Qi Yan.

When it was time for dinner, Xie Xiao was about to order takeout.

But Qi Yan packed up his things and said, "I won't bother you guys any longer; I need to head back to have dinner with my mom. If I don't, my dad will kill me."

Xie Xiao bid him stay a little longer but then let him go.

Luo Yanran had been reading all afternoon, and after she and Xie Xiao saw Qi Yan to the elevator, they went back together, "Qi Yan is really a good person."

This time, they even had their family's bodyguard for over half a month, which really was quite considerate.

Xie Xiao agreed, "He really is good, I don't even know how to thank him."

Luo Yanran was also a bit troubled, "It really is bothersome; let's ask dad when we get back."

Lately, Luo Yanran's relationship with her parents had improved a lot; she even started calling them.

Primarily, Luo Yanran initially wanted to test Luo Tian's attitude towards Xie Xiao.

Yes, he already knew that his daughter had a boyfriend, but thankfully, Luo's mother hadn't told him that their daughter was not only dating someone but had already moved in with him.

So Luo Tian was still relatively calm.

Every time Luo Yanran called, he diverted the topic before she could even start.

After all, being businessmen for more than a decade or two, could they really let their own daughter trap them in conversation?

In any case, although Luo Yanran didn't get any information, the father-daughter relationship had improved a lot.

This made Xie Xiao feel pretty good about it too; it wasn't a loss.

But since they were about to go home,

when Luo Yanran mentioned Luo Tian at this moment, Xie Xiao was still very nervous.

After entering the house, he suddenly asked, "Do you think your dad might not like me?"

Putting himself in the situation, Xie Xiao wouldn't like his own daughter's boyfriend either, although he didn't have a daughter right now.
