Chapter 743

“All five villas have been connected?”

Yu Dazhang looked incredulous, preferring to believe Officer Hua had made a mistake.

The villa they had just entered was already filled with women who had undergone surgery.

Just one villa already held so many victims that Yu Dazhang felt a chill.

He couldn’t help imagining what it would mean if this number were tripled.

The case had become unimaginably huge.

This wasn’t a routine trafficking case, where rescuing the victims would bring it to a close.

This case was entirely different—so many trafficked women had all been subjected to surrogacy surgeries.

How should this be handled?

Yu Dazhang had no idea.

He realized the follow-up operations had already exceeded his capacity and were beyond his authority to intervene in.

“Call for backup.”

Officer Hua suggested:

“With this situation, our team is no longer enough—we need local police support.”

“Although we’ve temporarily secured the scene, further searches are still required.”

The backup he meant went beyond just police manpower.

So many victims would need to be transported to hospitals for treatment and care.

Based on the numbers, every hospital in the city might be overwhelmed.

Containment and investigation work also needed to begin immediately—our task force alone was clearly insufficient.

Yu Dazhang nodded thoughtfully, then walked aside and pulled out his phone.

He hesitated briefly, but ultimately decided to call the Chief first.

It was nearly three a.m.—calling now would surely disturb his sleep, but he trusted the man would understand.

The call was answered quickly.

“What is it?”

The Chief’s voice came through the receiver, clear and strong, showing no sign of fatigue from the late-night call.

Yu Dazhang briefly summarized the current situation, then made his request:

“We need full city-level support—two or three hospitals won’t be enough; we must contact as many as possible to ensure the victims receive timely and effective medical care.”

He paused, then added more firmly:

“We also need more police—though we’ve secured the scene for now, the follow-up work is immense and requires large numbers of officers to maintain order, conduct investigations, and handle emergencies.”

He had condensed his report as much as possible to ensure the Chief understood clearly.

The core points were two:

1. Medical ambulances must be dispatched to pick up the victims.

Many of these women had just undergone surgery—they require professional medical staff and equipment for transport.

2. More police—the more, the better.

Not only are there many victims needing rescue, but the arrested suspects are also numerous; simply transporting them all back will consume massive police resources.

Right now, the task force can only secure the scene—we cannot proceed further.

“You’re saying…?”

The Chief on the other end was stunned, still reeling even after Yu Dazhang finished speaking.

After a moment, he snapped back to himself and shouted:

“You found their hideout—and it’s right here in Songhai?”

He remembered clearly: just three hours ago, around midnight, Yu Dazhang had called him asking for backup.

It wasn’t even dawn yet, and they’d already caught them?

And found all the missing trafficked women?

When he heard the number of victims, the Chief could hardly believe his ears.

This case had reached the heavens!

And it was a case under the Ministry of Public Security’s direct supervision—yet it had been solved like this?
