The woman's shrill voice echoed far away over the empty village.

Soon, a large crowd of people came quickly, and the small courtyard was packed with people.

There was an open space in the middle, and the two sides were in a standoff. On one side was the wife of Chen Dahe from their village, and on the other side was a pair of strangers.

Someone recognized them: "Hey, aren't these the two who just entered the village?"

“What are they doing in our village?”

Chen Dahe hurriedly pushed through the crowd, rushed to the open space in the courtyard, and asked his wife anxiously, "What happened?"

Zhang Hui raised his eyes and saw that Chen Dahe was the man who bought Wu Yuanzhao in the video.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my house?" Without waiting for his wife to answer, Chen Dahe had already discovered two strangers, Zhang Hui and Wu Baoyuan.

The crowd of onlookers whispered to each other and looked at the strangers with curious eyes.

"Dad, save me!" A young child's cry came from behind him, and Chen Dahe froze in place.

The crowd was in an uproar, pointing at the Chen family and the two strangers.

"I'm here to find my son!" Wu Baoyuan was very excited. He took out his mobile phone and there was a photo of a family of four on the screen.

He turned on the screen and turned around to show the villagers a photo of his son. "This is my son! His name is Wu Yuanzhao!"

Tears slid down his rough cheeks, along his chin, and into the collar of the cheap fleece jacket he was wearing.

The villagers' discussions gradually stopped, and they stared silently at the weeping man, feeling a surge of sympathy.

If these parents saw their lost children, who among them could remain calm?

In this cold silence with only the sound of crying, Chen Dahe shouted: "I don't care who you are! I bought him with my own money, don't even think about taking him away!"

"That's right!" his wife chimed in, "When he gets to my house, he's my son!"

"Dad!" Wu Yuanzhao called out anxiously in his childish voice. In his little head, he didn't understand why his father didn't come over to hug him when he saw him.

Wu Baoyuan stared at his son's cute face and begged Chen Dahe: "Brother, please, let my son go."

"I can give you money if you want it! Just name the amount!" Wu Baoyuan is not afraid of spending money, as long as the child can come back.

Chen Dahe's eyes flashed. He licked his dry lips and looked at his wife beside him.

The woman gritted her teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand!" Her greedy eyes were filled with ecstasy at the prospect of getting the money.

Wu Baoyuan was frightened by her big mouth and staggered back two steps: "So many?"

"Enough!" Zhang Hui didn't expect that as soon as the call was connected, Wu Baoyuan negotiated such a condition with the other party.

"Chen Dahe, you are suspected of trafficking children, please come with me!" Zhang Hui showed his ID. Chen Dahe's face turned pale, his legs went weak and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The woman's arms around Wu Yuanzhao loosened, and Wu Yuanzhao, who had been struggling, took the opportunity to break free from her restraints and ran towards Wu Baoyuan.

Wu Baoyuan opened his arms to welcome his baby whom he hadn't seen for a year. The soft little body that seemed to still smell of milk made him think about it thousands of times in his dreams.

The villagers looked at the scene in front of them in amazement. No one had expected that the girl was actually a police officer. This was more interesting than a TV drama.

The belated village chief arrived almost at the same time as the local police station that Zhang Hui had contacted. After learning about the situation, the village chief glared at Chen Dahe and his wife with a dark face.

Damn it, he even told him that he was a relative's kid, and I knew there was something wrong with this guy. I wanted to turn a blind eye to it, but he came to my door.

I don’t know if I can still hold on to my position as village chief?

After handing over the case to the local police station, Zhang Hui took Wu Baoyuan and his son away.

After reuniting with An Xiaoguo and others, Chen Shuai looked at Wu Yuanzhao who was sleeping soundly in Wu Baoyuan's arms with envy. He really found the child!

It seems that this girl has some skills. The day when her son returns is just around the corner!

The group set out on their journey again, and at sunset, they arrived at Luoxia County in the neighboring province.

After arranging accommodation, the few of them went out for a meal.

Wu Yuanzhao returned to his father and quickly came out of his timid state. He sat on the chair, wobbling his little feet, drinking milk, and rolling his eyes.

Zhang Hui mentioned the content of the phone call she received earlier, "Zhao Shuanzi has admitted that he and others kidnapped the children of your two families.

"The two human traffickers, one is called Lao Lu and the other is called Luo San. I am confident that we can catch him tomorrow!"

Chen and Wu looked at each other, unable to hide their excitement. "There is one thing we should say in advance: don't talk about money with the buyer, and don't anger them."

"Some villages are very united and xenophobic. If you pay, you might end up causing disaster."

Wu Baoyuan nodded repeatedly, still feeling a lingering fear.

The next morning, Zhang Hui looked between the eyebrows of Chen Shuai and Wu Baoyuan. The ten-second video showed that it was Chen Weifeng who was the victim this time.

A pair of brothers in their thirties were leading a sheep and carrying a bamboo basket with dozens of kilograms of pork in it.

The two brothers exchanged sheep and pork for nine-year-old Chen Weifeng.

It wasn't Lao Lu and Luo Sansha, it was that when they were making a deal with the two brothers, they accidentally let the girl escape. The girl would rather jump off a cliff than become the brother's common tool for having children.

The money was paid, but the girl was gone! For the sake of their reputation in this industry, Lao Lu and Luo San promised to find another girl for the brothers.

Who knew that the two brothers changed their minds and didn't want the big one, they wanted the small one.

Luo San said frankly that the smaller ones were more expensive than the bigger ones, so the two brothers took the sheep from their home and cut some pork to make up for the loss.

Of course Zhang Hui didn’t know all this. She was just wondering, is a sheep worth so much?

Following the direction of the red line, Chen Weifeng was eventually brought by the two brothers to a village not far ahead.

This village is so poor. This is everyone’s first impression when entering the village.

The houses in the village are old and dilapidated. Most of the villagers coming and going are over 40 years old, and there are rarely children and teenagers.

The whole village was dead silent, without a trace of life.

Zhang Hui raised his eyebrows, a little confused. What was going on in this village? All the young people went out to work, so were the rest all elderly?

The two brothers were not very old, and according to their thinking, they should have bought a woman and let her give birth to their own child. Why would they directly buy a child?

No one looked at them curiously, and the villagers ignored these strangers.

Zhang Hui and his companions arrived at a dilapidated house at the west end of the village.

The end point of the red line between Chen Shuai's eyebrows almost overlaps with the end point reflected in the yard.

This is the right place! Zhang Hui motioned for An Xiaoguo to go forward and knock on the door.

After a long while, an old female voice came from the yard: "Who is it? The door is not locked, come in."

Everyone pushed the door open and the boy under the eaves looked straight over. When he met Chen Shuai's surprised eyes, his expression changed from indifference to ecstasy.

"father!"
