"Bang."
"You son of a bitch, why didn't you say you got the money earlier? You made me go through all this trouble to beat you. You worthless dog."
"Damn it, all of you listen up. Next time you get money, give it to me immediately, or you'll get beaten for nothing."
When there was no more movement from inside, Chen Yang secretly climbed the wall and peeked in.
At this moment, the two beggars who had been begging were lying on the ground, barely alive. Fortunately, it was a hot day, otherwise, if they lay on the ground like this, they would definitely catch a cold and get sick.
"Bastards!"
The more than a dozen children in the yard were all locked in cages, and more than half of them had some kind of disability.
It was obvious that these children had been harmed by the damn traffickers.
In one of the small cages, a child about seven or eight years old had completely twisted and deformed limbs. His face, no, it wasn't a face at all; only two scars remained where his eyes should have been, and his ears were just two lumps of flesh.
He was huddled tightly in the corner of the iron cage, living a humble existence.
Looking at the scene in the yard, Chen Yang felt a surge of nameless rage boiling in his heart. Su Dan Novel Network
He was also a parent. How heartbroken would these children's parents be if they saw their children mutilated like this!
"Bastards!"
Seeing this, Chen Yang was one hundred percent sure that the person with the duck voice in the yard just now was a trafficker.
"Bang!"
Just as Chen Yang was about to go to the police, he lost his footing, and a square brick on the wall fell with a bang.
"Bad!"
Chen Yang quickly tried to hide. He couldn't alert the enemy. If these traffickers escaped, it would be troublesome to find them again.
But before he could jump down, the traffickers had already rushed out of the house.
People in their line of work were naturally suspicious and extra attentive to any noise.
"Lao Hei, Que Zi, someone's here!"
Chen Yang saw a man wearing a flat-topped hat rush out. It was the duck-voiced person from before.
As the duck-voiced man called out, a burly man carrying an iron rod immediately rushed out of the house.
An old man with a limp, holding a machete, glared at him with a ferocious expression.
Chen Yang's heart sank. If this matter got out, these traffickers would definitely face the firing squad.
They wouldn't let him off easily!
Facing the brutal traffickers, Chen Yang had to admit that he was a little scared.
To protect their secret, these traffickers might not hesitate to kill to silence him!
Seeing the duck-voiced man and the other two charging at him, Chen Yang turned to run. He had no weapon and was no match for the three traffickers.
"Don't run!"
The duck-voiced man saw Chen Yang trying to escape and immediately rushed out of the yard.
The burly man with the iron rod ran even faster, quickly closing in on Chen Yang.
His heart pounded like a drum.
When facing the threat of death, it was hard to remain calm. Chen Yang jumped down from the wall and almost twisted his ankle in his panic.
"It's over!"
Although he didn't twist his ankle, the delay allowed an iron rod to smash down towards his head with a bang.
Chen Yang instinctively dodged to the side. The iron rod hit the wall behind him, sending dirt and stones flying.
At that moment, Chen Yang truly felt the threat of death.
The iron rod had grazed his scalp. If his reaction had been even a fraction slower, his head would have been bashed open!
"Chen Yang!"
Just as Chen Yang was in a panic, he suddenly heard Shen Xue's voice.
At that moment, his mind went almost blank.
"What are you doing here? Run!"
Chen Yang was frantic. He had specifically told her not to wander around, so why did she follow him?
He still didn't know what to do. If Shen Xue got into trouble, what would happen to their child, and their family?
Chen Yang also felt immense self-reproach. Perhaps, he was once again letting down Shen Xue and their child. No, also his poor son whom he had never met.
But just when Chen Yang thought he was doomed, the iron rod didn't hit him, and the old limping man's machete didn't fall.
Everything seemed to have come to a bizarre halt.
"You idiot, why are you being so reckless? What will happen to me and the child if something happens to you?"
Instead of being attacked, Shen Xue ran into his arms and held him tightly, weeping.
When she saw the iron rod about to hit Chen Yang's head, Shen Xue had almost fainted from fear.
Fortunately, Chen Yang had dodged.
"Don't move. Anyone who moves will be shot."
Chen Yang's ears were buzzing. Only when Shen Xue held him did he seem to regain his senses.
He finally understood what had happened.
Just now, Shen Xue had led a group of police officers here.
It was a police officer who had pointed a gun, saving him from the traffickers!
And now, the traffickers were all pinned to the ground by other police officers.
"Officers, save the children, save the children."
At this moment, Chen Yang realized he was drenched in sweat.
Except for not wetting his pants, all the stress responses had manifested in his body.
Sweating profusely, his mind was blank!
Perhaps there were truly people who weren't afraid of death, who could remain calm in the face of it, but Chen Yang knew he wasn't one of them.
He was afraid of death.
However, after regaining his composure, Chen Yang immediately thought of those pitiable children.
"Young man, I am Wang Daguang, the director of the Railway Police Station of Qinghe City Public Security Bureau. On behalf of the parents of these children, I thank you."
"Don't worry, we will do our best to help these children find their parents. As for these traffickers, not a single one of them will escape the law's punishment."
Wang Daguang had already seen the scene in the yard. If it weren't for his position, he would have beaten these beasts himself.
They deserved to die!
They deserved to be torn limb from limb!
"Thank you, thank you, officers. If it weren't for you, I would have been in grave danger."
Chen Yang glanced at Shen Xue. This silly woman, no, she wasn't silly at all. She knew to call the police; he was the one who was foolish.
If Shen Xue hadn't called the police today, he would have lost his life here.
"We are the ones who should thank you. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to rescue these poor children. Are you injured? I have already contacted the leaders of the bureau."
"The bureau will send people over to take these children to the hospital for treatment immediately. If you are injured, we will send you there together."
Wang Daguang was very enthusiastic. As a police officer, he naturally felt a good impression of a young man like Chen Yang who had a sense of justice.
"Officers, I'm not injured. I just fell when I was climbing over the wall. It's nothing. However, we are also going to the hospital to find someone. May I ask which hospital you are taking these children to?"
When Chen Yang heard that the children were being taken to the hospital, his eyes lit up. He was going to the hospital to find Zhao Yongling!
"The First Municipal Hospital."
"With so many children, other hospitals might not have enough staff. And for the treatment of these children's hands and feet, only the doctors at the First Municipal Hospital are capable of treating them."
Wang Daguang gritted his teeth. Looking at the miserable state of the children, he wished he could kill these traffickers.
