Chapter 254: Chapter 255: Rescue

“Big brother, how much money can you make from selling women?” Xu Ying asked, her face full of curiosity.

That “big brother” glanced at Xu Ying with some confusion, “Why are you asking this?”

Xu Ying rolled her eyes, “Obviously, I’m asking because I want to make money. Look at how plump you guys are, you must have made quite a bit. Why should only you guys make money, can’t I make some too?”

That “big brother” didn’t expect her to be so bold, he raised his eyebrows and showed a ferocious face, “Because we dare to kill people, do you?”

Xu Ying was so scared she almost fell over, and seeing her reaction, that “big brother” burst into loud laughter without any more guard.

What a bold little girl.

“You want to marry an official, right? Wait until these days are over and we’ve dealt with these people, and I’ll take you there,” the “big brother” said smiling.

Xu Ying’s eyes were filled with fear, “You’re going to sell these people to my little aunt’s village?”

“Big brother” shook his head, “How could that be? There’re a dozen people in that house, Liu Shangou won’t be able to take them all. There are plenty of mountain villages around here. Whichever family lacks a wife, and whoever offers more money, will get them.”

Xu Ying silently noted this in her heart. It seemed not only Liu Shangou, but all the nearby villages were in on this, no wonder these girls couldn’t escape. These people were truly heinous.

“Aren’t you afraid of the public security catching you?” Xu Ying asked tentatively.

At those words, the man’s expression changed drastically in an instant. Xu Ying thought she had angered him, but then he laughed arrogantly.

“Evidence is needed for everything. Those public security officers don’t have any evidence to catch us. Every village around here has been involved in human trafficking at some point. If they give us away, they are doomed too. Besides, every time only so few public security officers come, we can simply get rid of them.”

Xu Ying frowned, these traffickers were so brazen.

Wouldn’t there be an investigation if public security died?

Or was it that the public security was also corrupt?

If that was true, then Huo Chen would be in danger. Xu Ying felt uneasy.

—— Inside the county.

Huo Chen went straight to the public security to report the crime. The officer who received him frowned when he heard it was about the Liu Shangou human traffickers.

“Comrade, please wait a moment, I’ll go inform our leader to see how to handle this,” the man said and then ran off.

Huo Chen did indeed furrow his brows. In response to such a serious case, shouldn’t they act quickly to investigate, instead of running off to seek permission from a leader?

Soon, the man returned with several public security officers in tow.

Huo Chen looked at the few men and frowned, “Are these few people enough?”

That public security officer’s face changed instantly, “Why wouldn’t it be? Are you questioning our capability?”

Huo Chen didn’t speak anymore and left the public security bureau with them, growing even more vigilant. Normally, public security officers are strictly trained, but those few leading the way obviously looked untrained. Plus, their attitude was too lax; something was definitely wrong.

They went to Liu Shangou, but the men didn’t even bother to search, they just asked a few questions and left.

By now, Huo Chen completely understood what was going on; he hadn’t expected the public security to be so audacious.

Xu Ying had been waiting for Huo Chen’s news at Liu Dashan’s house all afternoon, and since no public security came to investigate Liu Shangou, she understood the public security couldn’t be relied upon.

She never imagined the public security could be so unreliable. Originally, she and Huo Chen had agreed that she would stay behind to protect these people’s safety and also to keep a hold on these traffickers.

The public security should have been able to come and arrest the traffickers easily, maintaining the hostages’ safety in the process. But she never expected that these public security officers would actually be colluding with the traffickers.

After Huo Chen left, the human trafficker realized the danger and was furious, demanding to know who the informant was.

Eventually, he suspected Liu Dashan.

“Was it you who snitched?” the man kicked Liu Dashan, sending him tumbling to the ground.

Despite the pain, Liu Dashan pleaded, “Brother, it wasn’t me. If it had been me, why would I have brought my wife and child back here?”

The man’s face was filled with rage; could it be that the two people he had sent out had betrayed him?

He had assigned them to watch Liu Dashan, and now Liu Dashan had returned, but those two had not.

Enraged, the man immediately ordered his men to move to a different location.

This place was no longer safe.

Even though they knew some police officers, leaving for safety’s sake was still the best choice.

So, a large group of them evacuated from Liu Shangou village to a neighboring one.

Xu Ying was among them, and when she spotted a familiar figure among the abducted people, she froze in shock.

Gu Fuzhu was there too.

With her present, things were about to become much easier.

Xu Ying approached Gu Fuzhu, blinked, and whispered, “Don’t be scared.”

If she remembered correctly, her father had mentioned a leader by the surname Gu who had presented him with an award.

Previously, Gu Fuying had said that Gu Fuzhu’s father was the new leader.

And, at that time, only the new county party secretary had arrived.

With this realization, Xu Ying felt a sense of clarity, and waited until nighttime before sneaking out.

Huo Chen was waiting at the entrance of Liu Shangou village, as agreed. Seeing Xu Ying emerge, his eyes lit up, “I can catch the human traffickers with my friend’s help.”

Xu Ying shook her head, declaring that would be improper. The traffickers were colluding with the police, and such an action would put Huo Chen in great danger.

“You need to find Gu Fuying and have her tell Gu Fuzhu’s father that his daughter is here.

Don’t forget to inform him about the police’s involvement and let her father handle it. I can’t stay out long, I need to go back. Be careful.”

After speaking, Xu Ying turned and left.

Huo Chen’s eyes darkened as he quickly vanished into the night.

The next morning, a large force of police stormed the village, surrounding several neighboring villages.

The human trafficker boss turned pale when he heard the news. He tried to flee but felt dizzy and passed out, “You…”

Soon after, many others fell as well.

Xu Ying watched the scene with satisfaction. She took out the small fireworks that Huo Chen had bought for her, lit them, and they burst into the sky with a bang.

A large force of police rushed into the village.

The village captain panicked at the sight of the police and immediately sought to warn the traffickers.

However, upon arrival, they found a house full of unconscious people and instantly understood what had happened.

All the traffickers were arrested, and the abducted people were rescued.

Mr. Gu expressed his gratitude to Xu Ying, “Yingying, thank you for saving my daughter.”

He had been warned by friends that Yu County was chaotic, with poor and evil places breeding troublemakers, but he had not expected the officials to be helping one another.

He knew he had to investigate this thoroughly.

Gu Fuzhu also looked at Xu Ying with deep gratitude, having thought her life was over and that she would be sold off to become someone else’s wife. Xu Ying had unexpectedly saved her.

Xu Ying waved her hand dismissively, “Uncle Gu, there are still many kidnapped women in the village. What do you plan to do about it?”
