Half an hour later, Zhang Ran, Fei Lan, and Rong Huaqiang all arrived at a somewhat remote location.

However, they were currently staying inside an abandoned farmhouse; the people here had basically all moved away, but it had not been demolished.

Standing before them now were police officers and armed police.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you for the intelligence you provided," Kuang Ming said with a serious expression.

Zhang Ran waved his hand and said, "This is what I should do. Tell me quickly what the next step is. Is it confirmed that the child is inside?"

Kuang Ming said, "It should be about right. We also received a report of a missing child the day before yesterday, but the missing child was lost in the countryside where there are no surveillance cameras, so we haven't been able to find any leads."

"After receiving your information, we quickly investigated this group of people, and they are highly suspicious."

"Hmm, I hope you will do your utmost to protect the child's safety," Zhang Ran said.

"Rest assured, this is our duty to begin with," Kuang Ming said earnestly.

Zhang Ran said, "Alright then, I won't disturb you any further. I hope you take action as soon as possible."

After saying this, he stopped bothering them with their tactical preparations and went out into the courtyard.

At this time, Jin Meng, Chen Feng, and Rong Huaqiang had all followed him out.

"Mr. Zhang," Rong Huaqiang said cautiously.

Zhang Ran looked at him, his expression somewhat complex, "Tell me the truth: have there been any lives on your hands over these years?"

Rong Huaqiang was startled, and he hurriedly said, "Mr. Zhang, no. You have wronged me. Although I am not a good person now, I would not dare to do such a thing."

Zhang Ran sighed and said, "I don't know what you encountered that made you become like this. Perhaps it was this society that forced you, or perhaps it was the temptation of money, but sometimes, wrong is wrong."

"You can take revenge on those who used extreme measures against you; although that is against the law, in my heart, it is not unforgivable."

Zhang Ran looked at this man who had once been honest and simple, and spoke his true thoughts.

"Mr. Zhang, I know," Rong Huaqiang said after a moment of silence.

"Let me ask you one more thing: are the conditions my eldest sister and the others offered excessive?" Zhang Ran asked.

Rong Huaqiang took a deep breath and said, "Not excessive."

"Since it isn't excessive, why not agree to it? Or is it that you can't even bear to part with that little bit of money? According to the actual situation, you should be the one profiting."

"Even by current market prices, buying out these leases would cost more than 500,000, wouldn't it?" Zhang Ran said.

Rong Huaqiang said, "It is more, and it was my greed."

In fact, if Fei Lan had only wanted money, it would have been easy to talk about; as long as it wasn't too excessive, Rong Huaqiang wouldn't have wanted to make trouble either.

But what Fei Lan wanted was the location, and one that was relatively close to the hospital, which required a lot of effort. Although the money was certainly much less than buying out the leases, Rong Huaqiang didn't want to spend that much time and effort.

Zhang Ran said, "I don't care what you have done, but this time, you can be considered to have contributed a little bit since we were able to find Nannan; you have some merit."

Rong Huaqiang felt a surge of joy, but the next moment he heard Zhang Ran continue, "After this, you will donate half of your net worth to charity. I won't specify the exact time, but based on your current net worth, donating half of it to charity—is that acceptable?"

Zhang Ran appeared to be asking, but Rong Huaqiang knew this was an order.

He could choose not to follow Zhang Ran's order, but then it might not just be half of his net worth at stake.

"I know, I will do it. Thank you, Mr. Zhang," Rong Huaqiang said calmly.

Jin Meng and Chen Feng were both stunned!

Only now did they understand what a true big shot was; a single sentence from him made their boss donate half of his net worth.

And their own boss still had to thank this big shot, not even daring to show a hint of reluctance, let alone resentment.

At this moment, they were both very dazed; it turned out that the boss they respected and feared was just so-so in the eyes of some people.

He didn't even dare to say a word of rebuttal.

Zhang Ran waved his hand, feeling a bit tired. He didn't care whether Rong Huaqiang hated him or not, whether he hated him or not.

As long as he acted honestly in the future and didn't provoke him again, then he would pretend he didn't see him.

But if he didn't know what was good for him, then Rong Huaqiang would know that the current Zhang Ran was actually being kind.

However, just because Zhang Ran didn't care didn't mean others didn't. He Yong had been silently following by Zhang Ran's side without speaking, but he had noted all of this down.

From now on, Rong Huaqiang would become his key target of observation; as for the duration, that was indefinite.

As long as Rong Huaqiang made any move that threatened Zhang Ran, He Yong would nip it in the bud.

This was his duty!

Inside the abandoned factory, there were six people, three men and three women.

"Cripple, is the target confirmed? We have already been here for five days; we can't stay any longer," One-Eye asked.

Cripple and One-Eye were just their codenames; they didn't mean they were actually crippled or blind.

"Confirmed. Tomorrow we will go and take that child, and then we will leave here. This time there are three children, and they can be sold for a good price," Cripple said with a smile.

"Hmm, after this time, we can also take a break for a while. We can't be too frequent, lest we get noticed," a middle-aged woman said.

"Haha, Cripple, you really have the ability to be able to contact such a client. Not only is the demand high, but they pay promptly. Now it's great; we don't even need to go out and sell them ourselves, and we can earn more money than before," One-Eye laughed loudly.

Cripple also revealed a look of pride; this channel was also an important reason why he occupied the position of the boss within this team.

"But we can't be careless either. When the time comes, we will go by three separate routes and meet at the old place to hand over the people. During this period, don't go out fooling around, and don't contact anyone, understand?" Cripple cautioned.

"Don't worry, we all understand."

"That's it then. You go down and feed those two children something; don't let them starve to death," Cripple ordered.

A woman stood up and muttered, "It doesn't matter if they miss a couple of meals."

However, complaining was just complaining; she still got up to take some things inside.

In a basement, two children looked at the woman in terror; one of them was Nannan.

This group of people wasn't stupid either; although they had specifically found a remote place, they couldn't guarantee that there would never be anyone here.

If some ignorant person happened to break in, it would be exposed immediately if they were kept outside, so they had hidden the two children very well. Even if someone accidentally broke in, they wouldn't discover anything.

"What are you looking at? Behave yourselves. My temper isn't good right now; beating you would be for nothing," the woman said sternly.

The two children trembled with fear at her words, and the woman watched this scene with great satisfaction.

At this moment, taking advantage of the darkness outside, the Armed Police had already surrounded the place, and operations began here as well.
