After leaving the rental apartment, Chen Mo directly took out his phone and dialed Ma Sihai's number.
In the current situation, finding Ma Sihai was more effective than anyone else.
"Mr. Chen, what can I do for you?" Ma Sihai asked respectfully when the call was connected.
"Does Longhua have human traffickers?" Chen Mo got straight to the point.
"Human traffickers?" Ma Sihai was taken aback by the question.
After thinking carefully, he immediately said, "There should be, but it has nothing to do with us. We absolutely do not engage in such heinous acts."
"Find out their location for me, and make it quick!" Chen Mo ordered.
Ma Sihai hesitated, "Mr. Chen, has someone been abducted by human traffickers?"
"You could say it's my niece," Chen Mo replied.
Upon hearing Chen Mo's answer, Ma Sihai was shocked, "Those scoundrels dare to lay their hands on someone connected to you? They must be tired of living. Don't worry, I will mobilize all of Longhua's forces right now to find these people."
In the afternoon, in a village at the foot of the northern mountain.
A commercial vehicle slowly drove into the village and stopped in front of a house.
A middle-aged man with a grim expression got out of the car. After confirming that no one was following him, the man opened the door.
"Boss, you're back." Hearing movement at the main door, the two people inside the room quickly came out.
The man on the right seemed to notice the middle-aged man's displeased expression and quickly asked, "Boss, why do you look so upset?"
"Slap!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man raised his hand and slapped the man across the face.
The man was instantly stunned, "Boss, why... why did you hit me?"
"How many times have I told you not to commit crimes consecutively, or it will lead to big trouble! Are your heads all stuffed in your pants?! Are you ignoring my words!" the middle-aged man cursed fiercely.
Hearing this, the man quickly explained, "Boss, we haven't done anything!"
"Haven't done anything?" The middle-aged man's expression darkened, and he quickly walked towards a hidden door on the side.
After pushing the door open, a foul stench immediately assailed them.
Inside this room, there were two dog cages, and in the cages, more than a dozen children were locked up.
These children were all dirty, with unkempt hair, and their eyes were filled with fear.
Seeing people enter the room, they all huddled together, trembling.
After checking the number of children, the middle-aged man, covering his nose, frowned and left the room.
"That's not right. If you two haven't gone out to work, why is all of Longhua looking for human traffickers?" the middle-aged man asked, full of doubt.
The two men looked astonished.
One man asked, "Boss, maybe they aren't looking for us?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "In our line of work, we don't steal from our peers. Therefore, Longhua shouldn't have any other peers, otherwise, they would be breaking the rules."
"Boss, where did you hear this rumor?" another man asked.
"A cousin of mine called me earlier. He's involved in the underground forces. He knows I've had contact with human traffickers before and asked if I knew their whereabouts. If I did, he'd give me two hundred thousand," the middle-aged man replied.
"What? Two hundred thousand?!" Both men were shocked.
The middle-aged man's expression turned grave, and he felt a bit panicked. He then decided, "Quick, wash the goods, load them all onto the vehicle, and prepare to flee Longhua tonight."
The two men nodded quickly, not daring to delay in the slightest.
The "goods" the middle-aged man referred to were precisely the children inside.
He drove them out and made them face the wall. One man directly took a high-pressure water gun, used for washing cars, and sprayed it towards the children.
After a simple wash, the man distributed some clothes to them and told them to put them on.
By the time this was done, it was already three in the afternoon.
They were now waiting for darkness, as only after dark would it be easier for them to leave Longhua City.
"Bang bang bang."
However, as they waited anxiously, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.
The three men, who were already on edge, all changed their expressions upon hearing the knock.
The middle-aged man even took a black handgun from his waist.
The other two men, armed with clubs, slowly approached the door.
"Who is it!" the man asked.
"From the village, just need to ask you a few things," a young man's voice sounded from outside the door.
The middle-aged man took out his phone and opened the surveillance feed outside.
Seeing that there was only a young man outside, the middle-aged man nodded, signaling for the man to open the door.
The two men hid their clubs and opened the door.
The young man outside was about to enter but was stopped at the doorway by the two men.
One man asked, "Hey, you can ask whatever you need to right here."
The youth glanced at the three of them, "This is the house you rented, right?"
"Yes, what about it? Is there a problem?" the man asked.
"Someone reported that they often hear children crying from here, so I came to take a look," the youth said calmly, his gaze continuing to sweep across the yard.
The eyes of the two men clearly showed panic, "They must have heard wrong. It was probably my TV that was too loud."
"Is that so?" The youth walked further into the yard again.
The two men tried to stop him, but they found that the youth's movements were too fast. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from their sight.
"Young man, this is the house we rented. This is trespassing!" At this moment, the middle-aged man, who had been standing in the yard without speaking, spoke up.
The youth still ignored him and walked directly towards the central living room.
"Stop him!" The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed, and he shouted.
Immediately, the two men standing at the door took out their clubs and rushed towards the youth.
But their movements were still a step too slow.
The youth had already pushed open the door in front of him.
The moment the door opened, the youth's expression froze, because he clearly saw tender young faces staring fearfully in the direction of the door.
"You beasts!" The youth was instantly enraged.
He kicked out with his leg, directly striking the face of the man who was rushing towards him.
"Ouch!" A scream of pain.
The man immediately fell to the ground, his nose caved in, and his face covered in blood.
As for the other man, the youth raised his hand and slapped him hard across the face.
The man instantly spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the blood, several shattered teeth were mixed in!
"Stop!" Suddenly, the middle-aged man spoke, pointing a black gun barrel at the youth.
"Kid, I didn't expect you to be quite capable of fighting, but no matter how good your fists and kicks are, when faced with what I have, it's just fancy footwork. Speak, who are you? Who sent you? What's your purpose?!" the middle-aged man questioned coldly.
"My name is Chen Mo, and I'm here to eliminate evil for the people!"
