Chapter 25: Behind the scenes
Jin Yilai pulled the colorful Tong Wanguan and rudely threw him into the corner of the wall. There was a ball of paper stuffed in his mouth, and his eyes were painful and could not be expressed in words. Chen Rufeng sat cross-legged ** to absorb luck, gradually recovered from the huge consumption, and his face returned to a little ruddy.
Jiang Shengtian and Grandma Jin looked at the unruly human trafficker with disgust. Although he was seriously injured and his face was decadent, they did not have a trace of pity.
Tong Wanguan made a pleading sound and looked at Jin Yilai pitifully. Jin Yilai stepped on his side face on the ground, and the pain made him scream like a pig, but he had no choice but to do nothing.
Everyone knows how deeply Jin Yilai hates human traffickers. Jin Yilai, who has suffered from them since childhood, must be eager to fry them, skin and bones, and smash them into ten thousand pieces. But at this moment, the human trafficker leader can't end up at once, and he still needs to rely on him to overturn all the abduction dens in Lion Town.
Jin Yilai kicked away the paper ball stuffed on Tong Wanguan's mouth. Tong Wanguan finally gasped and coughed heavily. Jin Yilai still looked at him coldly with an expression that did not reveal any joys and sorrows, but Chen Rufeng could still feel the anger behind his eyes.
After Jin Yilai's life-and-death threats, Tong Wanguan took out the addresses of all the children who had been abducted back.
"Where did you sell the children you abducted?" Chen Rufeng opened his eyes and asked with a little anger. Tong Wanguan replied timidly, "The children we abducted were all sent to Xianning."
Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian couldn't help but be shocked. They didn't expect that this matter was related to their destination. In this way, in addition to the "Rich Club" in Lion Town, there is a more powerful behind-the-scenes man in Xianning.
"Is it sent to Xianning?" Jin Yilai asked, and Tong Wanguan nodded like a mouse under the cat's paw and said, "In fact, we are only responsible for transportation, secretly transporting the captured children to Xianning in batches, and then the person responsible for handing over pays the remuneration according to the child's gender and age, and then distributed it to the congregation of the rich society."
Chen Rufeng suppressed his anger and said, "Who is responsible for the handover?"
Tong Wanguan shook his head and whispered, "The identity of the person handed over is mysterious. Generally, he comes with a mask, and even I have never seen his true face."
Jiang Shengtian stroked his jaw with one hand and thought for a moment, "That man is mysterious and refuses to see the light. He must be a person with a face."
Chen Rufeng threw a punch in Jiang Shengtian's head and said, "Nonsense! If this kind of unscrupulous thing were you, what would you do openly?
Jiang Shengtian was trying to fight back, but was interrupted by Jin Yilai: "Anyway, we have to go to Xianning and thoroughly investigate this matter at that time."
Seeing Jin Yilai's move, Chen Rufeng nodded with approval, knowing that Jin Yilai would certainly spare no effort to combat this kind of human trafficking.
"So, gentlemen, can you let me go?" Tong Wanguan looked at them expectantly. Chen Rufeng sneered, pulled him up and said, "You still have something to lead the way!"
The door was knocked open, and Tong Wanguan was thrown in heavily. He lay on the ground and shouted father in pain. Before the people in the room could react, Jin Yilai had pointed out quickly. Everyone in the room was hit and fell down, and there was no room for a counterattack.
There were wooden cages in the room, full of crying children, only three years old. Chen Rufeng looked at a burst of heartache, took out the key from the waist of the fainted nurse, opened the cage, and took out the children inside one by one.
The rescue operation continued until the sun went down, and finally the mayor of Lion Town was informed to come to clean up the mess and let the abducted children find their relatives.
"Madam, please, I'm really going to be closed." The boss of Chaliao pleaded. The woman's face was haggard and lay on the table without saying a word. It seemed that her soul had been taken away, leaving only a pair of skins.
"You have been here for three days and three nights, and I'm worried about leaving you here alone. Why do you make it difficult for me?" The boss of Chaliao almost knelt down, but the woman didn't hear it, and her eyes were empty.
In the distance, the figure is getting bigger and bigger.
Is it the long-awaited figure? Isn't this an illusion in the sunset?
The woman slowly raised her head and looked forward to the figure coming from afar.
Chen Rufeng came with the child in his arms and smiled. The child fell asleep in Chen Rufeng's arms.
The woman could no longer stop her emotions. Tears came out of her eyes and ran to Chen Rufeng. Chen Rufeng handed over the child. The woman grabbed it and held her tightly in her arms with tears in her smile.
This feeling of loss and recovery is really not something that Chen Rufeng, an outsider, can empathize with.
Chen Rufeng looked at the mother and son in front of him with joy, and really felt that his image was much higher, and a faint pride came to his heart.
Starry sky, Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian sat side by side against the outer wall of the house in the monotonous garden, looking up at the sky. Both of them had their own thoughts.
It has been two months since the disaster of treasure in Ningzhou. But the two felt like they had crossed a long time, as if they had had a long dream and had not woken up yet.
"What do you think we will do if we are really wronged?" Chen Rufeng asked suddenly. Jiang Shengtian turned his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid this hypothesis is too far away from us. Not to mention the ups and downs on the way to Xianning, even if we have really completed what Li Linfu told us, he may not help us. Maybe he will just take advantage of us.
Chen Rufeng said optimistically, "No matter what, we always have to gamble. Is there any other way? Will we run away for a lifetime?"
Jiang Shengtian was speechless for a moment, so he had to sigh helplessly.
"If we can really wash away the grievances, I will find a way to solve the problem that your body can't practice the inner qi." Chen Rufeng said with a straight face, Jiang Shengtian couldn't help but be stunned, and an unspeakable feeling surged in his heart.
Originally, he thought that Chen Rufeng had long forgotten the promise he made to him in the hidden bamboo forest. Chen Rufeng has made great progress in his internal cultivation from the hidden bamboo forest to now. Although the court did not teach him real martial arts, after his own experience, although he was not a master, he was already a man who could deal with ordinary internals.
Chen Rufeng put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there must be a way to change your strange physique."
Jiang Shengtian hammered Chen Rufeng's chest and said, "With you, what else can I say?"
There was a bright laugh in the garden, and there was no fear of affecting the people who had fallen asleep.
The next day, the bright sunshine filled a street outside Jin's house. Most people were closed, and only a few people wandered on the road. Jin Yi came to open the door and observed carefully before greeting the two to get on the carriage quickly.
"Mom, I will definitely come back to visit you when I have time." Jin Yilai pinched Grandma Jin's hand, and her tone was full of reluctant mother and son feelings. Grandma Jin looked kind, nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't worry about doing your business!" As an old woman, I can still take care of myself!"
Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian lifted the curtains of the carriage and waved to Grandma Jin: "Goodbye, Grandma Jin! We will come again!" Grandma Jin also waved goodbye to the two. Although her face was full of smiles, she could still vaguely see their reluctance.
At the banquet in the world, Jin Yilai jumped into the driver's position and looked back at his old mother standing at the door. A burst of guilt surged in his heart. Jin's mother-in-law made a "go" gesture to him. Jin Yilai sighed secretly, and his mirror-like face could not help showing a trace of gloom.
The carriage faded away, and Jin's mother-in-law saw them disappear into sight.
Running all the way, it was an unconscious two-day journey. During this period, the rugged mountain road made the two complain, but Jin Yilai had deliberately slowed down the speed of the carriage, and Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian no longer said anything.
Fortunately, the three of them have not encountered any obstacles along the way, including those who cannibalistic wild beasts or people in the world who want to get their bounty.
Chen Rufeng has been secretly thinking that after Xianning, if there is a chance, he will definitely set up the behind-the-scenes of the rich gathering to avoid the tragedy of separation of flesh and blood in the world.
"There are still two hours to go to Xianning." Jin Yilai said lightly. At this time, the road has turned flat, and the carriage has also accelerated its foot speed.
Chen Rufeng poked his head out of the curtains and saw that there was a small pavilion for passers-by to rest. There were grass and trees around, birds singing and flowers. What a great scene. He couldn't help suggesting, "Why don't you rest here first? You're tired of driving the carriage for so long."
After the battle of the "Rich Club", Chen Rufeng has greatly improved Jin Yilai, and an indescribable relationship between the two has also been established.
Jin Yilai did not answer, but stopped the carriage and let the horse eat grass, while he leaned against the pillar of the pavilion to rest.
Chen Rufeng and Jiang Shengtian are also like seeing the sun for a long time, breathing the refreshing fragrance of wild roads, and jumping around in the weeds, chasing and fighting. Jin Yilai only felt that the two of them were childish and cute, like children who had never entered the world, and there was a fluctuation at the corners of his mouth.
Jin Yilai suddenly became alert and suddenly turned his head.
