Chapter 42: Raiding The Abandoned House
When Wei Shilai thought of that scene, he knew how difficult it was going to be.
However, he was almost determined to catch those criminals when he thought of the evil deeds they had done.
Wei Shilai smiled at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, please keep an eye on the fake Madam Zhou.”
Liu Sanniang nodded.
Wei Shilai instructed Lin Zheng. “You stay here and cooperate with Miss Liu. Don’t let the fake one take Zhou Yanshu out of the mansion.”
Lin Zheng said expressionlessly, “Don’t worry, Sir. I will definitely not let you down!”
Lin Zheng was the chief of constables, and Wei Shilai believed in him.
Wei Shilai nodded at Liu Sanniang and walked out.
He had to hurry back to the government office and gather the guards of Yong County to surround the criminal den.
Liu Sanniang also returned to the courtyard to watch the fake Li Yazhi. At the same time, she hoped that Wei Shilai could successfully capture those criminals.
In the fake Li Yazhi’s memory, Liu Sanniang saw that they had used various methods to take away many young children. This was not the first time Hong Ying carried out a mission.
Hong Ying and her team were only responsible for bringing the children to a man in black, but Liu Sanniang could not see the man’s face.
In Yong County, a total of ten young girls were lost. They were all abducted by Hong Ying and the others.
After Wei Shilai left the Zhou Mansion, he gathered his men and headed towards the abandoned house as quickly as possible.
In the county office, only the janitors were left. The rest were all taken away by him.
He mobilized a hundred guards and dozens of constables to raid the den.
In the abandoned house.
Several well-trained men had already prepared the carriage. Children with their eyes closed were carried into the carriage.
Inside, the real Madam Zhou was tied up. She struggled with all her might, but no matter how hard she tried to speak, she could only make muffled sounds.
At first, when she was abducted, Li Yazhi was terrified. She was beautiful and had a noble status. If she was tainted, she would be too ashamed to live.
But when she was brought to this abandoned house, she realized that this group of people were the human traffickers whom everyone was looking for.
The cold-faced men did not look at her at all, but when they talked, they did not avoid Li Yazhi.
They even told Li Yazhi, “Don’t worry, when Hong Ying brings your daughter out, we’ll let you go back.”
Li Yazhi was extremely frightened. Her daughter, Zhou Yanshu, was her life. She knew that the woman called Hong Ying had already gone to steal her daughter. Li Yazhi wished she could kill these people.
Probably because he wanted to freak Li Yazhi out, a man suddenly changed his appearance into that of hers. Seeing someone who looked exactly like her, Li Yazhi fainted.
When she woke up, she couldn’t stop crying. What kind of monsters were these people? How could they transform into her? Did the woman named Hong Ying transform into looking like her as well? If so, she would most likely succeed in her task.
Li Yazhi wanted to escape, but she couldn’t break free. In just one night, she became haggard and looked much older.
Seeing that these people were about to retreat, Li Yazhi lost all her hope and passed out again.
The leader packed up everything and smiled at his teammates.’ Search newn0vel, 0rg ‘ “Let’s go. We’ve already left a message for Hong Ying. She’ll catch up with us when she comes back.”
The other man smiled. “These officers are really useless and easy to fool.”
“By the way, what’s the name of the county magistrate? Wei Shilai, right? He won’t be able to keep his position after this.”
The few of them chatted and laughed as they got up to leave.
But at this moment, they heard the sound of horse hooves approaching.
“What’s going on? Let’s go out and take a look.”
The man frowned. The few of them were about to go out when the guard outside ran in, shouting at the top of his lungs. “Officers. The officers are here!”
And there were a lot of them. They came with a purpose.
“How is that possible? Was it an accident?” Someone asked with a panicked look on his face.
Wei Shilai dismounted and frowned at the abandoned house and the carriage. He raised his hand and gestured for the officers to check.
Two officers went forward to examine it. Then they said excitedly, “Sir, children. The lost children.”
Wei Shilai heaved a sigh of relief. “Surround this place and arrest them all.”
Just now, he clearly saw someone sprinting into the house. This meant that this group of people had not run away yet. Now was the best time to catch them.
Before the men could even discuss how to escape, they were surrounded by the officers who barged in.
“Put down your weapons and surrender. Otherwise, I’ll do it the hard way.”
Seeing that the real Madam Zhou wasn’t taken hostage, Wei Shilai heaved a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was glad that they reached here quickly. Otherwise, these people would have retreated. If they had come a quarter of an hour later, there would be nothing left.
Even if they could protect the daughter of the Zhou family, they wouldn’t be able to find the other children.
Fortunately, they came in time.
Wei Shilai had never been so proud of himself.
When the government investigated a case, they had to find the evidence. Most of the time, by the time they found the evidence, the victims would be dead.
This was the first time he had caught the criminals and saved the victims’ lives.
Knowing that they were people with special abilities, Wei Shilai even called well-trained soldiers.
No matter how powerful they were, they were still human.
The human traffickers looked at each other and drew their swords. They did not know what had gone wrong, but they knew surrendering wasn’t the way out. Only by killing all these people could they survive.
Wei Shilai immediately ordered his men. “Kill.”
It was naturally best if these criminals could be captured, but in this urgent situation, making sure his subordinates wouldn’t get hurt was the most important. Moreover, there was still a criminal in the Zhou Mansion whom he could capture and interrogate.
After some fighting, few of the criminals were captured and some of the soldiers were wounded.
Wei Shilai was extremely angry. Just as he was about to send these criminals back, he saw them tilt their heads and commit suicide.
Wei Shilai was shocked. He had never seen anything like this before.
Most criminals killed people for revenge. Even if they were caught, they would never commit suicide.
These people committed suicide one after another without hesitation, as if they had been trained to do so. Wei Shilai felt a heaviness in his chest. He instructed his people to bring these corpses back.
He immediately rushed to the Zhou Mansion.
He remembered what Liu Sanniang had said. These people might all be psychics. Their abilities were extraordinary. Wei Shilai was worried that something would happen at the Zhou Mansion.
