Fortunately, his integrity and sense of justice overcame his timidity and cowardice. He stepped forward and said, "Police officers, I am the witness!"
As soon as he spoke, his family surrounded him again, as if wanting to devour him alive, stripping him of his clothes.
"Tian Laosan, you really have guts! I warn you, watch your mouth!" Village head Xie Guangsheng threatened.
When the police saw this, they rushed through the crowd and asked Mr. Tian, "Did you call the police? Just make a note of it!"
Mr. Tian looked around, took a deep breath, and frankly said, "They are not human traffickers at all. They came to check the herb seeds I planted."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Xie family started quarreling again, accusing Mr. Tian of harboring bad people and saying he was in cahoots with Zhang Boao.
Zhang Bode, standing on the wall, was deeply moved when he saw Mr. Tian stepping up at a crucial moment to testify for him under immense pressure.
