It doesn't matter if your souls are scattered, as long as you die.

In the courtyard

A long table made up of more than a dozen tables was filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, including vegetables, soups, various staple foods and snacks, totaling ninety-nine dishes.

Some of the food was prepared by Yun Li before and stored in her space, some was purchased from another world, and some was just made fresh.

After setting out the dishes, Yun Li retrieved a wheelchair from the warehouse, then returned to the room and carefully brought Yun Jiaoyue out so she could sit in the wheelchair.

Although Yun Jiaoyue couldn't see, she could smell the aroma of food and subconsciously swallowed.

Since being captured and taken to Jiazigou, she has never eaten a meal with a pleasant aroma.

The food those people gave her was cornbread made from millet, which tasted terrible.

Yun Li naturally noticed her swallowing, and with one hand, he scooped up a spoonful of smooth steamed egg custard and brought it to her lips.

"Yun Jiaoyue, have some steamed egg custard to warm your stomach first."

Before Yun Li could finish speaking, Yun Jiaoyue subconsciously opened her mouth and swallowed the steamed egg custard.

After swallowing the steamed egg custard, Yun Jiaoyue let out another sobbing sound.

Yun Li didn't say anything, but turned around and scooped two more spoonfuls of bone broth to feed her.

Yun Jiaoyue cried as she accepted every food offered to her.

Yun Li would not feed her more than two chopsticks or two spoonfuls of any dish; she wanted her to eat a little of everything.

After feeding her three easily digestible foods, she started adding other foods to her plate.

Watching Yun Jiaoyue wolf down the bone in her hand, Yun Li was glad that those beasts hadn't knocked out her teeth, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to eat even this.

After wiping her mouth, Yun Li said gently, "Yun Jiaoyue, eat slowly, or you'll choke."

Yunli fed the baby slowly and patiently, watching the peaceful scene unfold.

Outside the space, Wang Hui and the remaining five team members rescued all the trafficked people, a total of eleven.

To Wang Hui's surprise, the trafficked people included not only women but also men.

The only thing they had in common was that all of them had their hands and feet crippled, their tongues cut out, and were emaciated.

The difference is that some people have lost their minds; they are either stupid or insane.

Only five or six people's eyes still looked somewhat bright.

The group cleared out a room, put everyone together, and cooked some food to feed them.

After they had all eaten their fill, Wang Hui prepared to ask them how they got here.

But they encountered a problem right from the start, because everyone had lost their tongues and could not speak.

They can't write because their hands and feet are broken.

"Captain, what should we do?" a team member asked, frowning.

Wang Hui didn't say anything, but sighed deeply, put his hands on his hips, and kicked the wall hard.

"Ahhh..."

"Waaah..."

"team leader……"

Wang Hui turned around upon hearing the sound, and belatedly realized that it was his earlier actions that had frightened them.

He quickly comforted her like a child, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm not angry at you, I'm angry at those who bullied you."

Whether it was his words that had an effect or something else, the uneasy voices gradually quieted down.

"Huff!"

"Huff!"

A sudden sound broke the silence, and Wang Hui and his teammates looked toward the source of the noise.

A young girl was looking at Wang Hui with a tense gaze.

She made a sound to get Wang Hui's attention, but when Wang Hui looked over, she made a sound they couldn't understand.

Wang Hui understood what she meant, walked up to her, and squatted down. "Is there something you want to tell me?"

The girl nodded emphatically, looking very anxious.

Wang Hui: "Do you have a way to write it down?"

The girl tried her best to lift one arm, but even with great effort, she could only lift it three centimeters.

Wang Hui noticed that her eyes were still looking at her own armpit, and immediately understood what she was going to write.

They immediately had someone bring some sand and spread it on the ground, and then took a thin stick and placed it under the girl's armpit.

After getting ready, Wang Hui helped the girl lie face down on the sand, and the girl wrote her first character, "何" (He).

Wang Hui and several other team members were overjoyed; as long as they could write, it didn't matter if it was a little slow.

The girl erased the first character and continued writing the second character. Soon, the second character was written, which was "兵" (soldier).

After finishing writing, the girl craned her neck and looked nervously at Wang Hui.

Wang Hui's heart skipped a beat when he saw the word, as did everyone else's.

"He Bing" is clearly a name, and they are familiar with this name; it is the name of the captain of the second team.

The Menzhong County Public Security Bureau has two criminal investigation teams, and Wang Hui leads one of them.

The other team was the second team led by He Bing.

Wang Hui met the girl's gaze with a look of horror. "You mean, it was He Bing, the second captain of the Public Security Bureau, who sold you here?"

The girl shook her head, lowered her head and used her face to erase the character "兵" (soldier), and continued writing the third character.

It is the character "一".

After seeing that they had all seen it, she used her face to smudge the character "一" again, and then wrote the character "伙".

They're a bunch of accomplices!

The meaning was simple and clear, and Wang Hui and his companions broke out in a cold sweat despite the sweltering summer heat.

"You mean He Bing is colluding with this village, that they're in cahoots, right?"

Wang Hui stared at the girl and asked.

The girl nodded emphatically.

Upon receiving a definitive answer, Wang Hui and his teammates felt ashamed and angry.

As public officials who are supposed to be in charge of the people, it is unforgivable for them to lead the way in harming the public.

Wang Hui's expression suddenly changed as if he had just thought of something. "Oh no, we have to move them right away."

The team members will report back to the station, and He Bing will definitely know. If he really colluded with this village, then he will definitely follow them on his own initiative.

If they discover that these trafficked people who still know him are alive, they might try to silence them.

The other team members also realized what was happening and immediately took action.

They found a cellar and moved everyone inside.

When Wang Hui closed the cellar entrance, he instructed, "Don't speak. Stay here quietly. We'll come to pick you up when it's safe."

The girl and the others who were still conscious nodded at the same time, their eyes shining with a new light.

After Wang Hui and his men hid the people, Wang Hui instructed his subordinates to disperse through the villages, pretending to conduct inspections, while actually hiding in the shadows and acting according to the situation.

He himself went to the village entrance to meet the people who were coming.

After waiting for about an hour, the person arrived.

Under the cover of night, a dozen or so flashlight beams could be seen, and Wang Hui stepped forward to meet them.

When the two sides met, he immediately spotted the bureau chief walking at the front and He Bing, who had taken a step back.

I thought to myself, "They've come, just as I expected."

Director Guan Tian, ​​in his fifties, possessed the iron-willed air of a battlefield soldier and walked with a powerful stride.

He Bing, in his forties, has a square face, is quite tall, and has a strong physique. He looks like someone who exercises regularly, or even someone who knows martial arts.

The two men approached Wang Hui, and the bureau chief frowned sternly, asking, "Wang Hui, your subordinates reported back to the bureau that Jiazi Village had been wiped out. Have you found out what happened?"

He Bing also stared at Wang Hui.

Wang Hui lowered his head to hide the resentment on his face, and said with a regretful sigh, "It's still unclear what exactly happened, but I guess it was a revenge killing."

"A vendetta? They're all honest, law-abiding villagers. Who could they possibly have such a deep grudge against?"

Before the bureau chief could speak, He Bing interrupted, stroking his chin as if deep in thought, "What made Captain Wang deduce it was a revenge killing?"

When he asked the question, he stared at Wang Hui without blinking.

Wang Hui had already composed himself, and weakly pointed towards the village, saying, "Captain He only needs to glance at the corpse to know what happened."

Seeing that his expression was normal, He Bing glanced at the dark front ahead and then looked at the bureau chief.

Director Guan waved his hand, "Everyone follow me, we're going into the village!"

As Wang Hui walked along the road to the village, he deliberately slowed down and quietly asked the two men who had gone back to report the news, "Tell me about what happened when you went back to the bureau to report the news."

Liu Fu replied, "Captain, when we went back to report to the director, the second captain was in the office. After hearing about it, he requested to come over with us, saying that this was a serious case."

Zhang Liang chimed in, "The bureau chief also thinks this is a major case. He not only came here personally, but also sent the second team with him."

Wang Hui walked along with a worried expression, when suddenly he remembered something and turned sharply to look at Liu Fu. "Did you say you found many people chained up?"

Under the flashlight beam, Wang Hui's expression was somewhat frightening, and Liu Fu swallowed hard and nodded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Hui's expression changed drastically. He immediately whispered an order: "Everyone, listen up! From now on, treat the Second Team as the enemy and be on high alert, especially He Bing."

Upon hearing this, the team members were all shocked. What was going on?

"team leader……"

Wang Hui raised his hand, "Don't ask. There are still some things that haven't been fully clarified yet. Just follow orders."

Upon hearing this, both team members nodded solemnly in agreement.
