Chapter 856: Outlaws of the Jianghu

"Heh, I don't want money, and your White-robed Onmyoji Group isn't short on money either; I just want to play with you all," the other party said with a chuckle. "Come alone. If you dare to bring the police or call anyone else, I will chop off their hands and feet and send them out to beg."

"Don't do anything reckless, you..." Tang Xue said anxiously.

Before Tang Xue could finish her sentence, the other party hung up the phone, and a text message was sent over: "I'll tell you the address tonight. If you dare not come, bear the consequences yourself."

"Brother Chen, what should we do?" Tang Xue cried out in anxiety again.

Her personality was inherently fragile, and she was single-mindedly worried about the children; this weeping, like pear blossoms drenched in rain, made one unable to help but feel a surge of protectiveness.

"It's fine, I will find out," Chen Yu picked up his phone: "Is there any news?"

"There is a little news, but it is being verified. Wait a little longer," Mu Xi's voice came through the receiver.

"Good, I'll wait for your news." Chen Yu hung up the phone and said to Tang Xue: "Don't worry for now. This matter is premeditated. I will handle it for you. I guarantee that I will definitely send those children back safe and sound today."

"Brother Chen, thank you so much." Hearing Chen Yu's words, Tang Xue felt slightly relieved in her heart. She believed that as long as it was something Chen Yu promised her, he would definitely be able to accomplish it.

"Chen Yu, these people have been identified; they are specialized in wandering from place to place to abduct and traffic children." After leaving the orphanage, Mu Xi's call came through.

"What is their purpose in trafficking children?" Chen Yu asked.

"They specifically target children who are good-looking; it should be to provide pleasure for certain people with pedophilia. I have already locked onto their location, and I am sending it to you now," Mu Xi said.

"Good, I'm going over to raid them now." Chen Yu's expression turned cold; people with special perversions all deserved to die.

Soon, a location was sent over by Mu Xi; it was a spot in the suburbs. Chen Yu glanced at the location and headed straight there.

This place was an abandoned factory, usually with its gates tightly shut, but for the past few days, there had indeed been a group of uninvited guests inside.

As night fell, a group of people led by a bearded man gathered around a fire to cook.

A pot was set up over the fire, and inside the pot was a dog caught from a nearby village. These people ate crudely, caring only about being full, just like outlaws of the Jianghu.

Moreover, they all carried a trace of banditry about them, and on one side of them were several children still in a deep sleep. These children were mostly five to eight years old, both boys and girls; looking at their unconscious state, they must have been drugged.

"Big Brother, are we really leaving after this job is done?" a lackey asked the bearded man.

The bearded man had a long scar on his face and looked extremely fierce. He fished out a piece of dog meat, bit into it, and said while eating: "I have a gut feeling that this place is not safe, and Shengjing is under the feet of the Heavenly Child; it's not like other places."

"But the work in this place is really easy to do; we just arrived and already took such a job," the lackey said somewhat unwillingly.

"One must be content. We earned quite a bit of money from this job; let's quit while we're ahead. Tomorrow, once we distribute these few and get the money, we'll leave," the bearded man glanced at the few children on the side and continued gnawing on the meat.

"Big Brother, I've already sent the ones from the orphanage to that club, and the money has been received." As the door opened, a lackey slipped in, carrying a box in his hand.

He opened the box, and inside lay a whole box of money; there was probably several hundred thousand in there.

"Hmm, eat something. We'll leave in these next few days," the bearded man nodded.

Several people gathered around the big pot and began to gorge themselves, eating meat in large chunks and drinking wine in large gulps.

Suddenly, the bearded man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he barked: "Someone is coming."

The few were startled, stood up quickly, and grabbed the weapons in their hands one after another.

One of the lackeys held a gun, the others had knives or large wrenches, while the bearded man had several throwing knives clutched in his hands.

This bearded man was the ringleader and also someone who practiced martial arts. The throwing knives in his hands were as thin as cicada wings and shaped like willow leaves, looking extremely sharp.

The few watched the entrance with full concentration, as if facing a great enemy, but when the door actually opened, their expressions couldn't help but freeze slightly. They saw an unremarkable man walking in at the entrance.

This man was none other than Chen Yu. He looked three parts weak, and it was precisely this bit of weakness that made these people lower their guard against him.

"Who are you?" the bearded man barked. Although Chen Yu was only one person and looked like an ordinary person, his years of life in the Jianghu still made him dare not lower his guard. He stared at Chen Yu, the willow-leaf throwing knives held tightly in his hands.

"Chen Yu. I came here to ask you about a few children." As Chen Yu spoke, he took out photos of the children from the orphanage and flashed them before the bearded man's eyes: "Have you seen these children?"

"Never seen them. We brothers are just passing through here. I don't know what you mean. If you're sensible, leave quickly." The bearded man's peripheral vision swept over the photos; his expression changed slightly, but he immediately pretended to be indifferent.

"Passing through?" Chen Yu glanced at the few unconscious children and said coldly: "Tell me the whereabouts of these children and release them, and I won't make things difficult for you."

"Where did this scum come from? Seeking death?" A cold glint flashed in the eyes of one of the bearded man's subordinates. He suddenly grabbed the huge wrench in his hand and struck fiercely toward Chen Yu.

The wrench in his hand was one used for repairing large machinery in the abandoned factory, as thick as an adult's arm.

He struck toward Chen Yu, but Chen Yu just stood there without moving, letting the wrench in his hand strike toward him.

Clang... The guy's wrench looked like it struck Chen Yu's head, but in reality, it stopped half an inch away from Chen Yu's head. Immediately after, sparks flew everywhere; the wrench in the guy's hand seemed to have struck a rock.

"You..." This guy didn't recover his senses for a long while.

Chen Yu walked forward slowly, and the wrench in the guy's hand suddenly bent.

Moreover, this group of people felt immense pressure from Chen Yu; the weapons in their hands, under the control of Chen Yu's Mental Power, all bent backward.

"Giving you one more chance, where are the people?" Chen Yu walked forward slowly. The further he moved forward, the greater that invisible pressure became.

"Who... are you?" The bearded man gritted his teeth. He instinctively wanted to release the throwing knives in his hands to strike at Chen Yu, but now his hands and feet felt as if they had solidified; he couldn't move at all.

Pfft. The wrench in the hand of the guy holding it suddenly bent violently, and the thick wrench struck his head directly. Half of this guy's head was instantly crushed. He opened his one remaining eye and fell down unwillingly; until he died, this guy still had a look of unwillingness on his face.
