Chapter 175: Si Rong, You Will Meet Your Retribution

~8 min read 1,440 words

The next second, Shen Chi's smile stiffened.

It turned out that at some point, several cars had surrounded the two motorcycles that were about to drive out of the Family Quarters.

"Help! Someone, come quick and catch the human traffickers!"

Someone shouted, and soon the men, women, and children of the Junshuyuan all rushed out clutching tools; some held shovels, others held brooms.

Everyone was furious and wanted to beat the human traffickers to death.

What made Shen Chi break down the most was, where did his stupid mother Li Xuan suddenly pop out from?

She was being pinned to the ground by several plainclothes officers who had stepped out of the cars, struggling in a disheveled mess.

"My children!"

After Si Rong ran over, she took her two children from the hands of Jiang Cheng, who had stepped out of a car, and held them tightly in her arms.

"Comrade Public Security, thank goodness you arrived in time; someone was trying to abduct my children!"

Si Rong's voice was choked with lingering fear, which was very moving to witness.

Human traffickers: They hadn't even touched the children yet.

They had felt something was wrong the moment they grabbed the little blanket.

This was the first time they had felt so wronged at the scene of an abduction.

Shen Chi was completely dumbfounded.

Just as dumbfounded as him were those few human traffickers.

Uh, two weeks ago, they had drifted into Huaiyang to commit crimes, originally planning to snatch a few children and then call it quits to move to the next place.

Someone had found them and said they wanted to cooperate.

At first, the human traffickers were quite vigilant, worried that this person was a Public Security undercover agent, but after observing for a period of time, they discovered he was just a heartless, bottomless, and inexplicably strange ordinary man.

So they decided to accept his help and even spent a fortune renting two motorcycles.

Now it seemed this guy really was a Public Security undercover agent; once they got to prison, they wouldn't let Shen Chi off!

The Public Security officers took the human traffickers and the mother-son pair, Shen Chi and Li Xuan, away together.

Just before being taken away, Li Xuan looked at Si Rong's indifferent gaze and remembered the words Shen Lan had left behind before he died.

He said that if Si Rong wanted to fight them, even if they all teamed up, they wouldn't be able to beat her.

So, was this Si Rong playing them at their own game, catching them all in one fell swoop?

Lin Meixi, heavily pregnant, walked over with Kong Lingdong and asked everyone anxiously, "Where are my mother-in-law and Shen Chi?"

"You still have the nerve to ask!" Fang Ting scolded her roundly, "They were taken away by Public Security! To think they dared to collude with human traffickers to abduct children in the Junshuyuan; they deserve to be shot!"

"Right! Shoot them all!"

Everyone had children, so naturally, their attitude toward human traffickers was that everyone should rise up and kill them.

Lin Meixi was immediately frightened and began to tremble.

She didn't even realize when she had started clutching the corner of Kong Lingdong's shirt, hiding behind him.

"Don't be afraid."

The Kong Family still held some weight in the Junshuyuan; although the mother and son, Shen Chi and Li Xuan, had been taken away, everyone didn't believe the Kong Family had a hand in this.

After all, Li Xuan had only just married into the Kong Family, and her true nature didn't have much to do with them.

"Our Kong Family will definitely cooperate with the Public Security comrades to investigate this matter thoroughly; please don't be so agitated."

"It's not your child being abducted, so of course you aren't agitated!"

Fang Ting rolled her eyes at him, "Your father married a human trafficker for a wife; if you didn't know, that's one thing, but if you knew and didn't say anything, were you planning to shield a human trafficker?"

Her daughter was still so young; if anyone dared to touch a single finger of hers, Fang Ting would definitely fight them to the death.

Kong Lingdong choked, "Our Kong Family certainly wouldn't. My Little Mother, Li Xuan, she isn't that kind of person either. I know her reasonably well, though I've only just come into contact with this son of hers."

Si Rong raised an eyebrow; it seemed Li Xuan really had won over Kong Lingdong's heart as a Little Mother.

Was he trying to abandon Shen Chi to protect Li Xuan?

However, this was becoming interesting, though Commander Kong seemed to like this new son, Shen Chi, even more.

This multiple-choice question could be left for them to solve.

Originally, when she had roughly deduced Shen Chi's plan, she had intended to send him in.

Although Jiang Cheng had hidden among the plainclothes officers and successfully held the children in the field, because the abduction hadn't succeeded, the human traffickers and the mother-son pair wouldn't be sentenced very heavily.

Even with pressure from the Jiang Family and the Si Family, the sentencing likely wouldn't be that severe.

However, in her heart, she hoped even more to be able to lock Shen Chi away in prison.

This guy was like a venomous snake; if not for Li Xuan's 'help' this time, she wouldn't have discovered it so early.

And even under her nose, Li Xuan wouldn't be able to stir up any major trouble.

Si Rong walked up to the pale-faced Lin Meixi while holding Juzi, her apricot eyes slightly curved, her gaze landing on Lin Meixi's belly, "Almost time to give birth? Come to think of it, you used to be a good child, but you followed Shen Chi. Now that he's courted death and gone to prison, leaving you a lonely mother with a child, it's truly pitiful."

Her words were piercing, "Later, when the child is born, you must also watch out for human traffickers; having a child abducted is a lifelong tragedy."

Looking at Lin Meixi's belly, she suddenly sprouted some malicious thoughts.

Shen Chi dared to scheme against her children, so she should let him taste the pain of being separated from his own flesh and blood!

If she hadn't been on high alert and planned ahead, she might have been thousands of miles away from her children by now.

If she were the one planning it, it would certainly be foolproof.

Perhaps some would say that the innocent child is blameless.

Then how could there be the saying that the son must pay for the father's debts?

Lin Meixi felt her back go cold from her gentle words.

Was Si Rong threatening her?

Why was Si Rong so vicious now?

Did she curse the child in her womb to be kidnapped by human traffickers before it was even born?

Besides, how could the wrongdoings committed by Shen Chi be blamed on her and the child?

"I really misjudged you in the past," Lin Meixi said with a pale face.

She had even thought Si Rong was some kind of good-hearted person.

It was a waste that she had previously urged Shen Chi and his mother not to harm Si Rong; now it seemed Si Rong did not deserve her kindness at all.

"It's common to have poor judgment and misjudge people; haven't you even misjudged the man you're with now?"

Si Rong's smile became increasingly genuine.

Stung by her words, Lin Meixi's abdomen tightened in waves, and suddenly, it began to ache sharply.

"Take me to the hospital! I might be going into labor!"

Lin Meixi shouted at Si Rong as if it were only natural, since among those present, Si Rong was the one with the deepest connection to her.

"Sorry, I don't have the time."

Si Rong turned around coldly and walked away holding her child; she was not magnanimous enough to rush to help someone's wife give birth when that person wanted to harm her own child.

For a child of someone like Shen Chi, it was only right to suffer a little upon being born, because there would surely be greater suffering waiting for him in the future.

There was no helping it; being born into the right family was also a technical skill.

"Si Rong! You will face retribution!"

"Don't think you can have a good life forever!"

After being picked up by Kong Lingdong, Lin Meixi endured the abdominal pain and cursed loudly.

Si Rong had no choice but to turn back and slap Lin Meixi hard across the face.
