Time flies, and Xiong Bufan has spent his first New Year in this world. Since there are no red envelopes on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiong Bufan slapped Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang twice, giving them their first beating of the new year.

Cui Di and Gou'er have both grown taller and fatter. Wearing the new clothes Xiong Bufan bought for them, they hopped and skipped around in the yard. The steel plate in Cui Daqiang's leg was removed, and before the spring planting season, they hurried to find timber and stone slabs to expand the ancestral hall.

The police chief and his officers rushed to Cui Daqiang's house, asking Xiong Bufan for help in arresting the human traffickers. They knew the traffickers had fled to the county, but they didn't know where they were hiding. It was a human trafficking gang that had abducted at least a dozen women and children.

Xiong Bufan thought of the red envelope that could buy a lot of food, and agreed without hesitation. He also chose to set off that day, finish the work as soon as possible, and come back to rest early.

Gou'er and Cui Di tugged at Xiong Bufan's clothes, "Mom/Sister, I want to go too."

The sheriff looked at Xiong Bufan disapprovingly, fearing that she might take two children with her in a moment of madness. If she did, it would be hard to tell whether she was there to arrest human traffickers or to deliver goods to them if they got caught.

Xiong Bufan lifted the two boys up to his eye level and said, "You two stay home and watch the house. If anyone bullies you, wait for me to come back." As he spoke, Xiong Bufan glanced at Liu Jianping and Cui Daqiang, the warning in his eyes very clear.

Cui Daqiang and Liu Jianping flinched. "Qingnuan, don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Xiong Bufan nodded in satisfaction, put down the two cubs, and left with the police chief. The village chief, leaning on his cane, watched Xiong Bufan and the others leave.

The woman with the big mouth asked the village chief, "Uncle, has Daqiang's wife been taken away?"

Village chief: "Don't talk nonsense, Daqiang's wife went to do a good deed."

"Oh."

This time, his reputation was much better than last time, and Xiong Bufan followed him out of the village.

Sheriff: "Ms. An, all you need to do this time is find them; leave the rest to us."

Xiong Bufan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

"Where did you find the clue? Take me there quickly, I need to finish my work so I can get my money and go home for dinner."

Looking at Xiong Bufan's proud demeanor, the two police officers thought to themselves: "All he does is brag; we don't even know if he has any real skills."

The sheriff unconsciously raised his voice, "Ms. An, this is a mission. Please put away your irresponsible attitude and carry it out seriously."

Xiong Bufan insisted that she was telling the truth. If she wasn't going to tell her any clues, she wouldn't. It was as if she couldn't find any. Xiong Bufan took a deep breath into the air and, to be honest, couldn't smell anything.

The police chief was unsure whether seeking help from An Qingnuan was the right decision. Although she was the one who caught the human traffickers last time, this time it seemed unreliable. Catching human traffickers was a matter of life and death.

Xiong Bufan searched for unfamiliar scents at the crossroads and finally caught one in one direction. He then followed the scent.

Kongkong was very curious about how Xiong Bufan could still smell things even though An Qingnuan's nose had been smashed. Normally, Xiong Bufan wouldn't be able to smell anything after his nose was destroyed, but now he could still track human traffickers and prey by smell, which was really strange.

Kongkong couldn't understand, so he asked, "Bufan, why can you still smell the scent?"

"I don't know. All I know is that since the last world, all my abilities have been enhanced. I can run faster and I'm stronger."

As Xiong Bufan spoke, his hands kept moving, and before they knew it, he had run up the mountain, with the police chief and officers trying their best to chase after him.

Despite the lingering chill of early spring, the sheriff and his two officers were drenched in sweat and dared not stop for even a moment, lest Xiong Bufan vanish into thin air.

Xiong Bufan muttered as he walked, "They run so slowly. I even waited for them on purpose."

"Focus, be extraordinary, focus a little more."

"it is good."

Xiong Bufan quickly found himself near a cave dwelling. Two men were guarding the entrance, patrolling with guns.

The sheriff and officers caught up, panting. Xiong Bufan made a shushing gesture at them, then pointed to the cave. The sheriff saw that the patrolmen were the escaped human traffickers and began to slow his breathing.

The surrounding bushes were thick enough that the traffickers didn't see Xiong Bufan and his group. They even lit a cigarette at the entrance of the cave, saying, "After I finish this job, I'll go back and get married. A wife, kids, and a warm bed every day—that's the life of a god."

Another human trafficker said, "You're so promising. Once you make a lot of money, you can have any kind of wife you want, and you can change them every day."

"I don't have such high ambitions as you. One wife is enough; having more would be too much trouble."

The sheriff drew his gun, made two hand gestures, and the two officers silently left.

Xiong Bufan found the gestures novel and started learning them, but ended up with a poor imitation.

They didn't know how many people were still inside the cave, so they sent someone back to report while they stayed behind to keep watch. The sheriff whispered, "Wait for rescue. Don't act on your own."

"What? Move out now? Is this guy crazy?" Xiong Bufan looked at the sheriff in surprise and calmly said, "We'll move out later."

The sheriff wanted to explain, but fearing he would be discovered if he talked too much, he could only nod.

It was still early, but Xiong Bufan was hungry. He looked at the two men patrolling at the entrance of the cave dwelling and became increasingly annoyed. Just as Xiong Bufan was about to move, the sheriff grabbed his shoulder and said, "It's too dangerous. Don't act rashly."

Xiong Bufan whispered, "You stay here and keep watch, I'll go check the other exits!"

The sheriff released Xiong Bufan and nodded, and Xiong Bufan slipped away.

Xiong Bufan circled the area for a long time and even caught a wild rabbit.

The sheriff lay on the ground, nervously watching the entrance to the hole. His legs and feet were numb from the cold, but he dared not move, fearing he would be discovered by the people below. He prayed that the rescuers would arrive quickly, otherwise the traffickers would have nowhere else to stay.

There are four entrances to this cave dwelling, but only one of them is guarded. Xiong Bufan walked around and returned to the sheriff with the rabbit in his arms. "There are four entrances in total, but only ours is guarded."

"it is good."

After Xiong Bufan finished speaking, he retreated down the slope, preparing to process and eat the rabbit, when the sheriff suddenly said, "Pull me down too, my legs are numb."

"Okay, remember to add money."

The sheriff thought to himself, "You're obsessed with money, aren't you?" But he didn't dare say it aloud, since he still needed Xiong Bufan's help.

"Where did you get this rabbit?"

"I just caught it." As he spoke, Xiong Bufan was about to snap the rabbit's neck.

The sheriff looked around warily. This was a remote mountain area; he wondered if wolves might be lurking there. "No, the smell of blood will attract wild animals."

Xiong Bufan found a wire and used it to lasso the rabbit near a bush. He then found a stick and stood guard not far from the rabbit.

The rabbit's struggles quickly attracted the attention of the human traffickers guarding the gate. After exchanging a glance, the two traffickers cautiously approached, guns in hand.

The footsteps grew closer, and the sheriff became increasingly nervous, even reaching for the gun at his waist. An Qingnuan was really too reckless in her actions; if things didn't go smoothly, she would alert the enemy, and not only would she be implicated, but the trafficked women and children would also suffer. All she could do now was cooperate with her as much as possible.

The trafficker vaguely spotted a trapped rabbit and quickly called his companion, "We're so lucky today, we even found a rabbit! Come and help us!"

Another human trafficker quickly ran over, raised his hunting rifle high, pressed the butt of the rifle against the rabbit's head, and sent the wild rabbit away.

Xiong Bufan took out a wooden stick and hit the traffickers on the head, knocking them both unconscious. The police chief ran out and checked their breathing. "They're still alive."

Xiong Bufan didn't hesitate. He grabbed the belts of the two human traffickers and tied them up.

The sheriff thought Xiong Bufan was about to do something wrong, but before he could stop him, Xiong Bufan had already tied up the two human traffickers, put their coats back on himself, and strolled towards the cave with his hunting rifle in his arms.

Xiong Bufan didn't want to wait any longer, so she went straight into the cave. The police chief was very dissatisfied with Xiong Bufan's unauthorized actions, but he still followed her with his shotgun. He would never ask An Qingnuan for help in solving cases again. She was indeed fast at finding human traffickers, but she was also good at causing trouble.
