Captain Wang and the Young Officer approached the shed, noticing that the lights inside were off. It seemed that only Yu Songyu was there, without any guards.
Picking up a small stone from the ground, he threw it against the door, and soon enough, they heard a woman's voice from within, singing softly.
"Miss Yu, don’t be afraid!"
The Young Officer recognized Yu Songyu's voice and quickly moved forward. Before long, he managed to unlock the door.
"Miss Yu, I’ll take you out first!"
Although the main group was on their way, there was still a risk of Yu Songyu being captured as a hostage if they left her behind. This girl was delicate and clearly wouldn’t withstand any serious trouble.
As the three of them retraced their steps, they noticed that the number of patrolling villagers had significantly increased—at least two or three times more than before.
With no other choice, they had to find a place to hide in the village while familiarizing themselves with the terrain.
They stumbled upon a dilapidated courtyard that clearly hadn’t been inhabited for years, where an Azure Stone Slab lay incongruously on the ground. The edges of the stone were polished smooth from frequent movement.
The three of them approached to investigate and lifted the Azure Stone Slab, only to discover an entrance to a cellar beneath it.
A foul stench immediately wafted out, causing all three to cover their noses in disgust.
Peering down into the opening, they saw a long ladder leading downwards.
“Captain, I’ll go down and take a look.”
“Okay, but be careful!”
The Young Officer held his breath against the stench and climbed down the ladder. Before long, he reached the bottom of the cellar.
Turning left, the space gradually opened up. With the dim light guiding him, he walked several dozen steps further and turned left again, revealing a dark room of several dozen square feet.
In this dimly lit space stood several large iron cages. As he peered into one of them, he was instantly horrified, his face turning pale.
Dozens of eyes stared back at him from within the cage; even though he was young and fearless, he couldn’t help but take a few steps back in shock at what he saw.
Once he steadied himself, he realized that dozens of children were locked inside like animals. Their expressions were filled with terror, their eyes vacant and their bodies covered in wounds. It was clear that they had endured unimaginable abuse prior to this moment.
He remembered a senior officer once saying that these abducted children would have their hands and feet chopped off or be beaten into disability if they misbehaved. Some were sold to remote mountain areas, while others were brutally beaten and left disabled, begging on the streets.
As the Young Officer witnessed this scene, he felt a piercing pain in his heart and couldn't help but tear up. He had to rescue these children, even if it meant sacrificing his own young life.
"Captain, there are dozens of abducted children down here," he said, climbing out of the cellar with a choked voice and clenched fists.
Yu Songyu could hardly believe that such inhumane beasts would leave these poor children in such a terrible environment. Were they not someone's sons and daughters? Did they not have children of their own?
She recalled reading a report about the heated debates regarding whether human traffickers should receive the death penalty during legislative discussions. It was said that from an enforcement perspective, sentencing traffickers to death would not help rescue the women and children they had sold. Yet, even if these traffickers were subjected to a thousand cuts, it would not quench the hatred; they had destroyed countless families that could have been happy and whole.
Fortunately, at that moment, hundreds of fully armed Special Police surrounded the entire village. A few hours later, all the traffickers were captured.
"Xiao Yu, thank you for your active cooperation; that's why we were able to apprehend these traffickers so smoothly. The department has a rule: for every fugitive captured, the public security agency will reward you with ten thousand yuan. Go handle the paperwork!"
"Thank you, Captain Wang. Please donate this money to the children and buy them some clothes so they can meet their mothers looking clean and dignified."
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
