The human traffickers lit kerosene lamps in the cave dwelling, and several of them gathered together smoking, saying, "When will this end? We can't even light a fire, we can only eat dry rations."

"Shut up, once this batch of goods comes out, we'll be living the high life."

……

Xiong Bufan followed the scent and crept over. It was very close to the door, and the only place with a kerosene lamp was the table where everyone was gathered. Xiong Bufan took out a stone from his person and threw it at the kerosene lamp.

The lights went out, plunging the cave into darkness. "Who the hell turned off the lights? Turn them back on right now!"

"Hey, boss, I'm here."

Xiong Bufan targeted the man called "Boss," and struck him with the barrel of his gun. The Boss immediately knelt on the ground, pulled a gun from his pocket, and fired upwards, yelling, "This is outrageous! Who the hell dares to hit me?"

The sheriff heard gunshots before he even went inside, so he quickly stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from rushing out.

The other human traffickers were so frightened that they covered their heads and squatted on the ground. The gunshots did not affect Xiong Bufan. Xiong Bufan continued to hit people with the gun barrel. Anyway, they would not fight back. Besides, the gun might not even hit him.

The cave was immediately filled with howls of pain from Xiong Bufan's beatings. Those who were lucky were knocked unconscious, while those who were unlucky were beaten so badly they screamed like ghosts. Even the human traffickers, who were called the boss, fired a few more shots into the air to suppress the commotion.

Xiong Bufan's shot landed squarely on the boss's back. It was this guy who was always scaring him. The more Xiong Bufan thought about it, the angrier he became.

The boss felt like he was being shot. Thinking about his men who couldn't endure hardship and were getting restless, he wondered if they had betrayed him.

"Better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," the leader thought, firing his guns at those around him.

Xiong Bufan hid behind his boss, but he felt sorry for the unseen human traffickers who were accidentally injured by their own boss. "Boss, don't hit me, I'm not a traitor."

"Boss, I'm innocent!"

"Cui Guohong, quickly turn on the light."

……

The boss didn't believe his subordinates at all. Instead, he fired based on the location of the sound, killing the human trafficker who was about to turn the lights back on.

Hearing the noise, the traffickers from other caves rushed over with guns and kerosene lamps. There weren't many of them, so Xiong Bufan rushed over, picked up a gun barrel, and started hitting the ground wildly until everyone fell to the ground, plunging the cave into darkness once again.

The leader's pistol was out of bullets, so he reached for his hunting rifle and fired in the direction he had just seen. In that brief flash of light, he had seen the person who had ambushed him. Even if he died, he wouldn't let that person get away with it.

Unfortunately, people can move, and Xiong Bufan had already quietly left that place. He went around behind the boss and stepped on his head, leaving the boss with a mouthful of dirt.

Without saying a word, Xiong Bufan grabbed the human trafficker and gouged out his eyes. He had heard that if he blinded him, he wouldn't be able to recognize his true enemy even if he died. Xiong Bufan didn't want to leave any future trouble for himself.

The trafficker covered his eyes with his hands, crying out, "Ahhh, it hurts! Who are you? Where are you taking me?"

Following the scent, Xiong Bufan led the human traffickers to the place where the hostages were being held. There were two people guarding the cave, and they were afraid of hurting anyone if they went in rashly. So Xiong Bufan kicked the leader into the middle of the room.

When the traffickers went to help the leader, Xiong Bufan went around behind them and knocked each of them down with a stick. Finally, he tied them up with a rope, and the leader was also tied up.

There were more than a dozen people, adults and children, tied up in the cave. They urinated and defecated in the same place. Xiong Bufan covered her nose. She had never seen such filthy people!

Xiong Bufan finally untied the ropes from those people, saying, "I'll take you away!"

A young woman cautiously observed Xiong Bufan. To avoid being caught by the police, the human traffickers had already changed hands several times, and she couldn't tell if Xiong Bufan was a new trafficker. "Who are you?" she asked.

Xiong Bufan had already completed her mission, and she didn't want to carry them out one by one and then tell them that she had come to rescue them. "Go if you want, or don't. I've tied up the human traffickers. If you don't want to leave, stay here."

The girls exchanged glances, and the one who had questioned Xiong Bufan stood up. "Let's go,"

The others helped each other to their feet, including several children under six years old. They were at an age where they should be crying and making a fuss, but they obediently stood up and escaped the den of human traffickers.

The sheriff finally received the rescue at the cave entrance. A dozen policemen with guns were guarding the entrance. This cave was easy to defend but difficult to attack. Using smoke to kill the hostages inside might hurt them, so the sheriff was in a dilemma.

The police officers stood guard at each entrance with their guns, ready to rush in at the station chief's command.

The director, not seeing Xiong Bufan, asked, "Did An Qingnuan go back?"

The sheriff glanced at the cave entrance and said, "She...she went in. I couldn't stop her!"

"This is utterly absurd! How can you joke about the safety of the people?"

The sheriff was now in a difficult position, unable to express his frustration. He had indeed tried to stop her, but An Qingnuan wouldn't listen to his advice.

While the two were talking, they heard a commotion coming from inside the cave. Judging from the sound, there were about a dozen people. The sheriff and the station chief quickly hid to the side. The sheriff made a gesture, telling them that if it was a human trafficker who came out, they should go up and grab him immediately, and avoid shooting if possible.

It was Xiong Bufan who came out, followed by more than a dozen girls. The girls were carrying babies who couldn't walk yet, followed by several babies who could walk, and finally, a few girls with guns brought up the rear.

The sheriff breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was, but quickly became cautious, worried that the girls with guns might be accomplices of human traffickers. However, he was clearly overthinking it; the girls were dressed in dirty clothes and their eyes were darting around, as if they were afraid of falling into a wolf's den after escaping one.

Xiong Bufan finally spoke, "I've tied up all the human traffickers, you can go in now."

"Now that the person has been rescued, you can take them back. I'm going back to eat." With that, he started to stroll back.

The sheriff waved his hand and led his men inside to deal with the human traffickers.

When the girls came out and saw that it was a policeman, they gradually lowered their guard and stood obediently at the entrance of the cave.

The director walked over and patted Xiong Bufan on the shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work, Ms. An."

Xiong Bufan suspected this person didn't want to pay, yet was so enthusiastic from the start—did he want him to work for free? "Send the red envelope to my house!"

"it is good."

Kongkong fawned, "Bufan, you were so cool just now! You not only saved people, but you didn't kill anyone. You're really amazing."

Xiong Bufan curled the corners of his lips into a smile. "I'm just that outstanding."

The girl who had just questioned Xiong Bufan caught up with him, saying, "Wait for me, take me with you!"

Xiong Bufan turned around, "Why should I?"

Afraid that Xiong Bufan wouldn't take her along, the girl quickly said, "I'm a college student who returned from studying abroad. I can make money, I can make lots and lots of money!"

Xiong Bufan asked Kongkong, "What is a college student? Can you eat them?"

Kongkong flipped through the book in his hand. "People who are good at studying get into school, so they are called college students!"

"Oh."

She's someone who's been to school, so how could she be abducted by human traffickers? It seems she's not thinking straight. Instead of wasting her time making money, she'd be better off going up the mountain a few more times; at least she'd have meat to eat then.

Xiong Bufan didn't stop and continued walking down the mountain. The girl kept chasing after him, saying, "Trust me, I can do a lot of work!"

The director, moved by the girl's talent, stopped her, saying, "Don't worry, we'll help you find your family."

The girl refused the director, saying, "No." Then she caught up with Xiong Bufan, saying, "Take me away with you."

Xiong Bufan stopped. "Prove you can make money first!"

The human traffickers were brought out by the police chief. The leader was the most seriously injured, his cotton coat stained red with blood. Even when the police went in, they thought his subordinates had betrayed him.

After hearing Xiong Bufan's words, the girl steeled herself, walked up to the boss, took a wad of bills from his pocket, and handed them to Xiong Bufan, saying, "Here's the money."

Xiong Bufan had forgotten that he could rob human traffickers of their money. It wasn't too late to remember now. He rushed up and rummaged through the tied-up traffickers, taking their money.

This action baffled both the human trafficker and the police chief. The police chief said, "Ms. An, this is not in accordance with regulations."

Xiong Bufan reached into the trafficker's pocket and said, "They did it voluntarily."

Before the trafficker could even refuse, Xiong Bufan slapped him across the face. These people who traffic other people's children are no good. "If you're doing this voluntarily, I'll thank you."

"Voluntary, voluntary."

The girl picked up the kerosene lamp and went back into the cave dwelling, saying, "I'll go find you some money!"

Xiong Bufan looked at her approvingly, "Go ahead."

Finally, Xiong Bufan filled a sack with money and swaggered past the police chief and the human traffickers, carrying the girl on his shoulder as they walked down the mountain.

The sheriff looked at Xiong Bufan disapprovingly: "Sir, this is not in accordance with regulations."

"Let her be, you can't win against her."

"Ok."
