Chapter 828: Snakes and Rats in the Same Nest

~6 min read 1,104 words

The female police officer guessed that the matter was not as simple as it seemed.

So she continued to send colleagues into that village to inquire exactly how many girls had been trafficked there.

However, not investigating meant not knowing; once investigated, it was a shock.

In that village, almost every few households had a somewhat mad girl.

Of course, many women also came out specifically to tell of their misfortunes.

It was only then that the female police officer realized that even in these peaceful times, such terrifying things still existed in the dark corners.

After tallying the numbers, they discovered there were actually dozens of people.

They had intended to bring each one back individually and notify their families to take them home.

But they found that some women had already been completely assimilated here, with no intention whatsoever of leaving.

Some even worried about their children, thinking that living anywhere was just living a life, so they might as well stay here.

When Did Ning Chen looked over, he noticed the female police officer's expression was somewhat off.

Although he shouldn't have asked, he still instinctively posed a question.

The female police officer then briefly recounted the situation she had just learned to Did Ning Chen and the others.

For a moment, everyone fell silent; they did not know how to handle this situation.

Ultimately, it was too backward, which is why such things happened.

They did not feel they had done wrong; in fact, they believed the police obstructing them were the ones in the wrong.

"They previously said these people were bought; we estimate there must be accomplices or someone specifically supplying these girls to their village."

Hearing Did Ning Chen's words, the female police officer before him nodded.

"We questioned them about this matter, but these villagers are now refusing to say a word."

Sure enough, even on this matter, they remained uniformly united against outsiders.

"This matter should not be approached through them; they have formed their own mindset and will not reveal these things."

After hearing Did Ning Chen's words, the female police officer seemed to ponder; perhaps they could focus their entry point on the women who had been bought.

If one or two won't speak, we can't believe that among a dozen or more, not a single one wants to speak out.

With all preparations roughly made, the police station instantly became busy.

Given the current situation, Did Ning Chen and the others sitting there actually seemed out of place.

But they were needed here, so now was not the time to leave.

Just as Did Ning Chen, bored, looked around, a familiar face suddenly entered his sight.

It flashed by in an instant, yet made Did Ning Chen's eyes widen immediately.

He could not even believe that this was actually happening.

He then ran toward that direction.

Lin Yi was still sitting nearby and was startled by Did Ning Chen's action.

"Did Ning Chen, what are you doing?"

Did Ning Chen did not respond at all.

It was Si Shiya; had Si Shiya returned?

He ran quickly toward that spot, but the next second the female police officer directly grabbed his wrist.

"What's wrong? Is something amiss?"

Suddenly stopped in his tracks, Did Ning Chen also felt somewhat depressed.

When he looked in that direction again, it was already completely empty.

He must have been seeing things; having come to a familiar place, he felt a bit melancholy.

It must be so; that clearly was not Si Shiya, yet he had mistaken her for the girl in his dreams.

The female police officer looked at Did Ning Chen and also found it strange.

But seeing his somewhat melancholy expression, she did not know what to say.

"If anything happens, you can tell me at any time."

Hearing the female police officer's words, Did Ning Chen also nodded.

He then returned to the previous spot and sat down again.

Lin Yi had already followed behind Did Ning Chen; seeing him return, he immediately asked.

"What's wrong? You seemed possessed just now, running straight toward that direction; did you see something?"

Did Ning Chen did not know how to respond at that moment.

He had indeed lost his composure just now, rushing over directly.

【Why do I feel like he looked like he saw Si Shiya?】

【Yes, yes, I have the same thought; that moment of loss of control was something I've never seen before.】

【Could it really be such a coincidence? Si Shiya is a police officer herself; would her appearing here be a normal thing?】

【What nonsense are you talking? Si Shiya has been gone for a long time; how could it be her?】

【Is there a possibility that after completing some dangerous mission, she had to hide her identity, which is why she appeared here?】

After this statement came out, everyone in the live broadcast room fell silent.

Seeing this scene, it indeed seemed so; could it really be as they said, that Si Shiya is not dead?

But they knew this was not something they needed to understand right now.

Currently the heaviest task is to deal with those damn villagers who traffic people.

Otherwise, if they are allowed to return, the final result will surely be the same.

Did Ning Chen and the others were still sitting there; one must admit that the situation entangled in this matter was simply too vast.

Hearing the female officer's words, he also learned.

If this time they really managed to squeeze some information out of this villager, perhaps they could wipe out those human traffickers in one go.

Ning Chen did not respond; suddenly, he remembered how angry Shiya had been, her teeth itching with rage, after seeing the information about those people trafficked by the traffickers.

This was probably the accusation of the side of justice.

Ning Chen could not help but smile; he was now solving these matters on Shiya's behalf.

Although it was not a direct confrontation, he had still put in quite a bit of effort on this matter.

Perhaps if Shiya saw it, she would also feel gratified.

"Ning Chen!"

Suddenly hearing Lin Yu's call, Ning Chen immediately raised his head and looked over.

Only then did he realize that there were now only a handful of people left around; aside from the police who were still busy, there was no one else here.

"It's already so late; are we going to keep sitting here?"

Hearing Lin Yi's question, Ning Chen now looked to the side.

Bai Xue sat quietly there, already dozing off into a deep sleep.
