The railway police officer reached for his handcuffs. "You two, this is a crime. Even if you're the biological parents, selling your own child is still a crime. Understand?"
"We... We just can't survive anymore," the woman said through her tears.
"If you decided to have him, you should have been prepared to raise him to adulthood."
Jiang Xinghai couldn't hold back any longer. "No matter how hard things are, you can't resort to something so inhuman!"
"Young man, I know we were wrong. Please give our child back..." The man held the woman as they both broke down, wailing.
"Whatever your reasons, trying to solve this on your own was the wrong move. You need to trust the authorities... After we arrive at the station, we'll take this to the local precinct."
Without hesitation, the railway police officer cuffed the couple.
For the remainder of the trip, Jiang Xinghai held the child and followed the officer to the conductor's room.
