Chapter 114 - 114

Chapter 114 FoundThe path was uneven and full of potholes, and the moonlight was obscured by thick clouds, leaving only scattered stars.The path was already difficult to walk on at night, and now that I didn't dare use a flashlight, I had to be even more careful.Yun Ting's Supernatural Ability reached out like an invisible net, finally detecting human presence a hundred meters ahead. She suddenly stopped and lowered her voice: "There's movement ahead."The Public Security Captain gestured for silence, and the group crouched low as they crept over. Sure enough, they found five dark figures arguing under a crooked tree by the roadside.Tao Meier had a bad feeling. Seeing the others resting lazily, she said irritably, "Can we go now? If we keep resting, we'll have to rest inside the fence.""Why are you so timid now? You keep whining and complaining. A woman will always be a woman.""Hmph! If things go wrong, let's see how the boss deals with you!" Tao Meier said disdainfully."You bitch..." The man was so angry that he stood up and was about to go and hit Tao Meier, but was stopped by his other companion."Alright, enough of that. What kind of time is this? You still have the leisure to argue?""Where are we going in the dark?" a gruff voice cursed. "This godforsaken place is so remote, who can catch up with us?""Hmph, how ignorant! You can leave but others can't?"Second Scoundrel, leaning against a tree trunk, spoke up, "That little Teacher Yun is very shrewd; she might just find out..."Before he could finish speaking, Yun Tingsuddenly raised his hand, and pebbles, guided by the Wood Element Ability, whizzed across the knees of the two burly men. "Move!" the Public Security Captain roared, and powerful flashlights blazed on, blinding Human Trafficker."There's an ambush!" Second Scoundrel yelled and reached for the nearest pillar, but Yun Tingreacted quickly. With his Supernatural Abilityactivated, the vines at his feet suddenly grew wildly in the darkness, wrapping around his feet like whips and tripping him.Tao Meier immediately grabbed the small pillar.Xiao Zhu reacted very quickly, biting hard on Tao Meier's hand that was grabbing him.In the chaos, a human trafficker pulled out a dagger and was about to stab when a policeofficer rushed over and grabbed his wrist. The two rolled around in the mud.With red eyes, Brigade Leader rushed toward Tao Meier, who was holding onto the pillar, and punched her in the face. In the instant she covered her face, he pulled his grandson over and hugged him tightly."Don't be afraid, Zhuzi, Grandpa is here."Using her Supernatural Ability, she manipulated the vines to entwine the last Human Traffickerwho tried to escape. He tripped and fell into the grass, and as soon as he got up, he was pinned down by the police comrade and had his arms twisted behind his back.Each time Yun Ting used Supernatural Ability to control the vines, she would quietly retract Supernatural Ability after controlling them. It was dark, and no one would notice. It was perfectly normal for there to be vines in the woods along this country road."Don't move!" The Public Security Captainpulled out gleaming handcuffs. In the moonlight, the five children huddled in a corner. When they saw Yun Ting, the youngest, Ya Ya, suddenly cried out, "Little Teacher Yun!"At school, all the children recognized Yun Ting, and at this time, the children naturally became more dependent on familiar people.All the other children's fathers came, but Ya Ya's father had passed away. Her mother had wanted to come along, but was persuaded not to, and is waiting in the village."It's alright...you'll see your mother soon." Yun Ting stepped forward and gently comforted her.Brigade Leader, holding his grandson, wiped his face with his rough hands and choked up as he said, "Girl, thank you so much.""Captain, I didn't do anything! It was all thanks to the police comrade and everyone else."Several human traffickers were taken away by the police, and the Brigade Leader and his group led Child toward the village.Those waiting in the village didn't go back either, they kept looking towards the village entrance, and finally, after gazing at the entrance countless times, they saw the light that signaled their return."You're back..."Aunt Meihua was the first to rush forward, and when she saw her husband holding his eldest grandson's hand, she burst into tears."Little Zhuzi, my grandson! You scared me to death!" She hugged Little Zhuzi tightly, unwilling to let go.Like an adult, Xiao Zhu gently patted his grandmother's back with his little hands, "Grandma, don't cry, I'm okay.""Alright, let's talk about it when we get back."Brigade Leader patted his wife lightly.Ya Ya's mother rushed over immediately and hugged her daughter. The sight of the orphan and the widow crying together was heartbreaking." Brigade Leader, where's my Baojun? Why didn't you bring him back?"Xu Guifang suddenly spoke up, and the scene fell silent for a moment." Xu Guifang, your son and daughter-in-law are both part of the Human Trafficker gang. They've already been taken away by the police. If you keep making a fuss, you can go find your son to keep you company," the Brigade Leader said sternly." Human Trafficker...a family of Human Traffickers.""I'm not… How could my son be Human Trafficker? Impossible… Impossible." Xu Guifangmuttered as he walked out.That was the end of the matter. After this incident, families with children became extra vigilant and dared not let their children run around. The children in the village were also afraid of being abducted and dared not go out to play alone.Yun Ting discussed the matter with several teachers, and they all agreed that the classshould educate the children on what to do if they encounter a human trafficker, and that they should be reminded not to easily trust strangers.The teachers asked the children from other groups to walk home together after school so that no one would be left alone, and they all obediently did so.Once bitten, twice shy. After this experience, the villagers became extremely wary of strangers, and only allowed them to enter the village after a thorough questioning.Yun Ting never expected that such a small village would be targeted by Human Trafficker.No matter when, once a child is abducted, it is very difficult to find them again. Even in later generations with surveillance cameras everywhere, it is still difficult to find a child, let alone in this place where there are no surveillance cameras and the transportation is underdeveloped.Human traffickers are truly despicable.Time flies, and before the autumn harvest, Tao Meier The verdicts for Second Scoundrel and his team have been handed down.Second Scoundrel was sentenced to five years in prison and sent to a farm for labor reform because it was his first time participating in such an operation and he failed.Tao Meier has done this more than once, participating in several cases. The children who were sold have not been recovered. Due to the severity of the offense, he was sentenced to fifteen years in prison and sent to labor reform.Based on their confessions, the police foundtheir hideout and arrested several more people, but unfortunately their leader escaped.What awaits them is arduous labor on the farm; whether they can endure until their release is another matter.Upon hearing the news, Xu Guifang went to the brigade office and made a scene, crying and wailing.No one paid any attention to her, and after she had cried enough, she went home dejectedly.Before the autumn harvest, everyone was given two days of rest as usual. Almost everyone went to town to stock up on supplies. If we don't eat well during the autumn harvest, how can we get through it?Yun Ting took another risk and went to trade, consuming some of the various resources he had stored in his space.The college entrance exam is coming soon, and she won't have much time left here.Zhou Yulan asked her if she could get some wild ginseng. Yun Ting didn't agree immediately, but said she would ask around and bring it to her if she could.She has plenty of Ginseng in her online space, so she can't just say "yes" whenever someone asks!
