Shen Qinglan saw Fu Hengyi walking through the fields. Fortunately, he was wearing dark clothes today, so it was not so obvious in the dark night.
Fu Hengyi stopped fifty meters away from the yard, bent down so that his body was perfectly hidden among the crops, and then slowly approached the yard.
In the courtyard, in the south-facing room, Qiang Zi and the lean man were eating.
“Qiang Zi, today’s one is pretty good. It looks very tiger-like and it’s still a boy. I think it can be sold for a good price.” A strong man walked in from the door and said to Qiang Zi who was eating.
“Well, if it weren’t for his good looks, would I have taken such a big risk?” This was something he brought back from the amusement park in the capital, Qiang Zi thought to himself.
“The price this time can’t be the same as last time.” Qiang Zi said after taking a big mouthful of noodles.
The burly man smiled, “Don’t worry about this. We have been cooperating for so many years. When have I ever mistreated you in terms of price?”
Qiang Zi smiled, acquiescing to the man’s words. The lean man remained silent, and the one who was in charge outside was always Qiang Zi, he was just responsible for his cooperation.
“This is already the fifth one this month. When will the money be paid to me?” Qiang Zi said after taking the last sip of noodle soup.
“I’ll call you together tomorrow. Do you want to call them separately or call them all on the same account?”
“Let’s do it separately. It’s too eye-catching together. I’ll take a break for the next month and go out with the lean man to avoid the limelight for a few days.” Qiang Zi said, he had done five cases this month, and he may be found out if he was not careful. To be on the safe side, it was better to leave the capital first. The most important thing was that the car he met on the road today always gave him a kind of… uneasy feeling.
“Okay, then you go out to play for a while.”
“If nothing happens, the thin man and I will leave first.” Qiang Zi stood up and waved to the lean man, “The thin man and I will leave overnight. You can pay the money tomorrow.”
“Wait.” The strong man suddenly stopped Qiang Zi, “Why are you leaving in such a hurry this time? Could it be that something happened?” The strong man was suspicious.
“It’s an emergency. The thin man’s mother is sick and hospitalized. The thin man wants to go back to see his mother, so I’ll just go with him.” Qiang Zi didn’t say anything about the abnormality he encountered today.
The strong man felt relieved, “Okay, you go first. These children will be taken away in two days, and I want to stay here.”
Qiang Zi nodded and left with the lean man. Shen Qinglan was standing in the tree with the phone, when she saw the red dot on the phone screen starting to move again, she immediately knew that someone must be leaving. Instead of calling Fu Hengyi, she sent a message to Jin Enxi. Just now, she had contacted Jin Enxi. Jin Enxi would track the car from time to time.
Waiting was the most torturous thing. Shen Qinglan was sitting on the tree, not knowing what was going on in the yard or Fu Hengyi’s condition, with anxious emotions in her eyes.
After another ten minutes, she slid down the tree trunk and moved towards the courtyard. Her figure was much smaller than Fu Hengyi, so it was naturally easier to hide. When she came to the courtyard wall, Shen Qinglan looked around. Not noticing a camera, she stepped back a few meters, jumped onto the wall with a running start, and landed easily inside the wall.
The yard was very empty, and the place Shen Qinglan chose was an uninhabited corner. There was no one there when she came in. Her hand lightly pressed a small button on her watch, and the watch vibrated. The surface immediately changed into something similar to a map. Shen Qinglan put down her hand, and the layout of the yard she had observed before automatically appeared in her mind.
Fu Hengyi was leaning against the window of a house when a slight vibration suddenly came from his wrist. He glanced down and his eyes fell on the watch on his wrist, with an inexplicable emotion flashing through his eyes.
The watch on Shen Qinglan’s hand usually looked like a women’s electronic watch, but as soon as she turned on the tracking device, the watch automatically switched to a small electronic screen. There was a small red dot on the screen. That was Fu Hengyi’s location.
She headed in the opposite direction to Fu Hengyi, and stopped when she passed a room. A small cry came from the room. She approached the window, took a look inside, and then saw seven or eight children huddled in the corner of the room.
The room was quite big, with a kang in it, and several children were nestled on the kang.
“Don’t cry, you’ll get beaten if you cry.”
“I’ll give you this steamed bun. Eat it before you have the strength to run away.”
“Don’t be afraid, I will protect you.”
Someone whispered softly in her ear, and Shen Qinglan shook it off shaking her head, she shook the sounds in her ears out of her mind.
Seeing that these children were silent for the time being, Shen Qinglan moved closer to Fu Hengyi’s direction. The frequency of the watch on Fu Hengyi’s wrist was increasing. She glanced at the watch and walked in the other direction. As expected, she soon met with Fu Hengyi, and Shen Qinglan.
“Didn’t I ask you to wait for me outside?” Fu Hengyi saw Shen Qinglan and turned to her with a serious face for the first time.
Shen Qinglan paused for a moment and said softly, “I can protect myself. Now is not the time to talk about this. How is the situation inside?”
Fu Hengyi also knew that now was not the time to talk about this. He gave her a helpless look and briefly explained, “There are not many people, six men are gathered in that room now, and no anti-personnel weapons have been found yet.” He pointed to the room with the light on.
“But I didn’t see the children.”
“I have found the children. There are eight children in total.” Shen Qinglan said.
After figuring out the situation, Fu Hengyi sent a message to the outside, then looked at Shen Qinglan and walked towards the room where the trafficker was.
The police had already set up a dragnet outside. Qiang Zi and the lean man were controlled by the police as soon as they left the visible area of the courtyard. The moment Qiang Zi was caught, he suddenly remembered the car they met when they were on the road this afternoon. But the lean man only had one thought in his mind at this time, and that was – it was over.
When Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi approached the occupied room, Fu Hengyi protected Shen Qinglan behind him, and then kicked open the door of the room. The door was opened by several people who were playing cards when they saw a man and a woman appearing at the door. They immediately realized, and rushed towards Shen Qinglan and Fu Hengyi.
Although these people had some skills, they were not enough in front of Fu Hengyi and Shen Qinglan. Even Shen Qinglan didn’t even have a chance to take action, so these people were knocked to the ground by Fu Hengyi.
Seeing the few people who had lost their fighting ability, Fu Hengyi took out his mobile phone and made a call to the police waiting outside. Soon, the police surrounded the large courtyard.
Shen Qinglan ignored them and walked straight into the room where the children were kept. Probably because there was too much noise outside, the children had already woken up and were looking at them with frightened faces.
Shen Qinglan softened her expression and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, “Don’t be afraid, we are here to rescue you.” Pointing to Fu Hengyi beside him, “This uncle is a soldier, he will protect you.”
The seven children looked at them, finally, a boy boldly spoke, “Are you really here to save us?”
Shen Qinglan nodded, “Yes, there are many police officers outside, and they will send you home.”
