There were also several girls in ragged clothes, looking timid, with even the light gone from their eyes. They had all been abducted to this city. After realizing they had been deceived, they refused to obey Dongtai's arrangements, so they were locked up here.
This aunt was like the manager here.
"Jiang Wen is the most stubborn girl. I thought she was good - looking and wanted to train her to work on the second floor for a better life. But unexpectedly, she not only refused to accompany customers but also refused to eat at first. Later, after starving her for several meals and giving her not a single drop of water, she finally agreed to eat."
Li Chuchu soon found Jiang Wen.
A thin girl, squatting in the farthest corner.
Xiao Liu immediately stepped forward, looking at her face carefully. His face was full of surprise. "This is really Jiang Wen! We've found her, we've found her!"
Li Chuchu thought: He's not afraid of scaring her.
She quickly stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder. "Jiang Wen."
Jiang Wen shrank further into the corner.
Li Chuchu said softly, "Jiang Wen, don't be afraid. We're here to rescue you."
Hearing this, she lifted her head and stared at Li Chuchu timidly. "Who are you?"
Li Chuchu thought: ... Good question.
She wasn't sure herself now.
"I'm a subordinate sent by your uncle. The bad guys have been caught. Come with me. We're going to the police station."
She hesitated for a while and then stood up straight.
Jiang Wen's clothes had several holes. She covered her chest awkwardly with her hands. It hadn't been a big deal when there were only girls here before. But going out half - naked like this was really a blow to a girl's dignity.
Xiao Liu quickly took off his white shirt and put it on Jiang Wen. "Put on mine first." He was only left with a undershirt on. The night breeze was cool, but luckily he was young and didn't feel cold.
However, the shirt had lipstick marks and a strong smell of perfume, which really made people think a lot. Jiang Wen stared at the shirt on her shoulder for a long time, and finally whispered "Thank you."
Xiao Liu blushed immediately. "It's okay, it's our duty to take care of the vulnerable."
Li Chuchu thought: ...
She looked at Jiang Wen. "Let's go. We'll talk more when we get to the police station."
Li Chuchu said to the remaining girls, "Now no one is holding you captive. Those of you who want to go home can go, and those who want to file a complaint at the police station can do so."
Those girls were as timid as quails.
It was almost dawn outside, but this room was a place where no light could reach. In order to make them submit, Dongtai had locked them up in this sunless place day and night, brainwashing them every day.
These girls hugged their heads and cried.
Finally, they could leave.
After hesitating for a while, several girls stood up and said, "I also want to go to the police station. I want to file a complaint."
Li Chuchu nodded. "Okay, let's go together."
...
The police chief came to the police station hall early in the morning. He rubbed his throbbing temples from lack of sleep last night. "How's it going? Any leads?"
His subordinate shook his head. "Not yet. They're still investigating. Last night, our people went to several entertainment venues, and two of them sneaked into Dongtai, but in the end, they found nothing. They even paid the 40 - yuan entrance fee out of their own pockets."
The police chief sighed deeply. "Reimburse them. Pay it together with next month's salary." He was really at his wit's end. The police station was so poor that they were restricted in every aspect of their work. It wasn't that he didn't want to do his job, but he really didn't know where to start!
If the finance department could allocate more funds, their police station wouldn't be so restricted!
Moreover, the back - stage bosses of several entertainment venues in Guancheng were not ordinary people. How could he afford to offend them? If he really investigated seriously, he would lose his job for sure.
Thinking of this, the police chief felt that a few more strands of his hair had fallen out. He picked up his teacup and took a sip. Suddenly, he remembered something. "By the way, where are Xiao Liu and that noisy girl? Haven't they come yet?"
"Not yet."
A sneer appeared on the police chief's face. "They said they were here to assist the police station, but they disappeared the next day. Chief Wen really dumped a hot potato on me." Later, he must talk to Chief Wen about this. The people he sent were lazy and undisciplined, and that girl even caused trouble and refused to obey the police station's arrangements.
After a while, there was suddenly a commotion outside.
It was said that Xiao Liu and the others had come.
The police chief's face turned cold. What was the use of coming at this hour? Did they think assisting the police station was just a formality?
His subordinate rushed in in a hurry. "Chief, chief, we've found them!"
The police chief thought: ... What chief? What are you talking about? It's so scary. He said coldly and sternly, "What's going on? Speak clearly! Don't be so hasty."
The subordinate calmed down his emotions, but still couldn't hide the excitement in his tone. "Jiang Wen and the human trafficker have been found! There are also several girls who were locked up by the human trafficker in the alley behind Dongtai Entertainment City."
The chief's teacup fell to the ground, and the water splashed on his pants.
He didn't have time to care about his wet pants. He looked at his subordinate in shock. "Where are they? Where are they now?"
"They're... they're just outside."
The subordinate was startled and his voice paused.
In the blink of an eye, the chief rushed out.
The subordinate thought: ... Who's being hasty now?
It was really lively at the police station gate this morning.
A crowd was standing at the gate.
The chief came out to greet them as soon as he heard the news. He saw Xiao Liu, Comrade Li and her husband, bringing the hostages and the human trafficker to the gate.
He felt dizzy.
In just one night, he never thought they would find both the hostages and the human trafficker?
Was this a dream?
But there was no time to think about this now. He quickly told the guards beside him, "Quickly take them in. Take the criminals to be interrogated. Arrange a room for these girls to take their statements. Xiao Liu and Comrade Li, come in with me."
When they entered the chief's office,
Before the chief could say anything, Li Chuchu explained the whole thing from beginning to end, and then said, "There's also an accomplice named Li Xiaguang. He's still on the first floor of Dongtai Entertainment Venue. The police need to send someone to arrest him."
The chief nodded. His mind was still a bit muddled. "That's no problem."
Such a big surprise in the early morning was really a bit too much for an old man like him.
He knew there were some capable people around Chief Wen, but he never thought they were this capable!
If they were so capable, what was the police station for?
The chief wanted to cry but had no tears. He felt that his position as the chief was almost over. The investigation ability of a few ordinary citizens was stronger than theirs.
He could no longer be arrogant in front of Li Chuchu. He didn't even have the capital to be arrogant. Seeing that Li Chuchu didn't leave or say anything for a long time, he took the initiative to ask, "Comrade Li, do you have any other ideas?"
