The middle-aged woman thought that Mai Yatang looked no different from the other girls. She did not realize that Mai Yatang’s brain was a little slower than most people’s brains, but that didn’t mean she was stupid.
She could immediately tell what they were up to when they tied her up with a rope.
“Did anyone tell you to kidnap her?”
Li Qingcang thought that it was too much of a coincidence.
“Who would tell us to do that? We are only running a small operation.”
!!
Just as Li Qingcang was questioning the woman, someone came in and handed him a document in an envelope.
Li Qingcang opened the envelope, knowing that it contained some bookkeeping records.
He did not understand the way the accounts were recorded.
“What is it?”
The middle-aged women trembled in fear. They had found their bookkeeping records, which detailed their involvement in a major crime.
“It’s our accounting records.”
The handwriting on the book was neat and it looked it belonged to a woman who read widely.
“Did you make all these records?”
“Yes, I did.”
Suddenly, the middle-aged woman let out a loud cry.
“I was tricked, too.”
The woman could not stop sobbing.
Years ago, she was tricked by the human traffickers into going to the countryside.
At first, they did not trust her to go alone.
She got her freedom back after she gave birth to two boys.
Her mother-in-law brought her around to commit those crimes together. Ever since she had the boys, her family treated her very well. She naturally followed in their footsteps to become a human trafficker.
As time went by, she had forgotten that she was once a victim.
“You’d better tell us the truth.”
The middle-aged woman told the police everything about what they had been doing.
Li Qingcang handed the middle-aged woman to the police and left for Qie Yiyan’s house with the documents.
Yan Shanyue and Minzhu looked at Li Qingcang nervously.
“Yiyan, maybe X or his men were not involved in this.”
Li Qingcang gave the documents to Qie Yiyan, who studied the information carefully. He was certain that the incident was just a coincidence.
“This is a human trafficking den. They were using the eatery as a cover to engage in illegal activities.”
Qie Yiyan looked at the document again and shuddered in fear. He was so relieved that they had managed to save Mai Yatang in time. He couldn’t imagine what would’ve happened if Mai Yatang had been sent to the countryside before they found her.
“Let’s save those girls in the countryside.”
Qie Yiyan then turned to look at a nervous Mingzhu. The incident had nothing to do with X, but his involvement would’ve meant that he didn’t have such a sister.
When Yan Shanyue caught sight of Qie Yiyan staring at Mingzhu, she warned, “Yiyan, don’t look at your sister like that.”
“No, Mom, it’s all my fault.”
Mingzhu tried to say something that might put her in a better light.
“I should have told Yiyan the moment I received a message. If he knew about the message, he would have taken more precautions. It’s my fault. I was worried that you might think that I’m in this together with them, so I…”
MIngzhu hung her head low in remorse.
“It’s all right. Everything is fine now.”
Qie Yiyan sighed and said to Mingzhu, “Minzhu, we are your family. Next time, you must tell us everything. Be honest with us.”
“Yes, I know.”
Mingzhu nodded. Her eyes were swollen but she had made up her mind.
She should never see Ye Zhizhou again.
Ye Zhizhou tried to threaten her, but she would not give in. She refused to be threatened.
“Since Mai Yatang is all right now, I’ll go and fetch Tianxin now.”
Li Qingcang then drove off to the shop.
Ye Tianxin was reading a book in the shop when she heard Li Qingcang’s footsteps. She asked in a soft voice, “Qingcang, has everything been settled?”
