No one knows when it began—
But the world was split in two.
Those in the Upper City live in the sunlight, on vast lands, warm and free.
Those in the Lower City survive in a cram...
"I, I am his woman..."
The woman was still trembling, but she was able to give a complete answer.
Sun Ban'er nodded: "Is the baby in your belly Zhao Zian's child?"
"Yes……"
The woman subconsciously protected her lower abdomen with both hands.
Sun Ban'er was obviously very dissatisfied with this result.
They came to Zhao Zian's house because they really wanted to see if he was hiding a woman.
The current situation is that it is hidden.
But it wasn't what they were looking for.
How could a woman who was just brought in from outside get pregnant so quickly?
Seeing that no one was talking, the woman became nervous again.
She quickly told the whole story of how she and Zhao Zian met.
The woman was indeed from Shangcheng and ran a restaurant with her parents in Jinfengcheng.
Because the woman's father was a good cook, Zhao Zian would often visit his restaurant after becoming the captain of the guard team.
After a few interactions, Zhao Zian fell in love with this woman who was more than 20 years younger than him.
Before, in the lower city, although Zhao Zian would occasionally relax with his brothers, he never had any chance to talk about love.
Now that he has settled down, he also wants to have a family of his own, and it would be even better if he could have children.
The environment in the upper city already has the conditions for reproduction.
Besides, the women of the upper city are indeed very attractive to the people of the lower city.
On the other hand, the woman, including her family, could naturally feel the enthusiasm shown by Zhao Zian.
To be honest, Zhao Zian is about the same age as the woman's parents. Such an age difference is indeed a bit hard to accept, and he himself is not handsome.
More importantly, the identity of the people from the lower city will naturally cause resistance and disgust among the people from the upper city.
Fortunately, the woman’s father is a “sensible” man.
In his opinion, Jinfeng City has been completely controlled by Xiacheng, and may even become the headquarters in the future. As long as the people of Xiacheng are not completely defeated, this place will always be managed by the people of Xiacheng.
And these so-called upper city people will gradually be assimilated in the future.
So why not take this step first now while everyone is still unable to let go of their grudges?
Zhao Zian is the captain of the guard team. His position is not low, and he is also the most important person in the lower city that this family can currently contact.
Apart from the difference in status and age in the city, it is actually a good choice for this family.
So with this in mind, the woman got together with Zhao Zian and became pregnant with his child.
Of course, the woman also knew what Zhao Zian did later, but to her, it didn’t matter.
After all, she is the only woman Zhao Zian recognizes, and when the child is born, he and his family will have a better and more stable life.
Sun Ban'er and others only listened to the woman's words roughly. These things were not important to them.
"Send her back to her own home."
Sun Ban'er gave instructions to the people around him.
The woman was taken out in a panic.
After she was sent away, Sun Ban'er walked to Zhao Zian.
Although Zhao Zian knew that his situation was still dangerous, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't think I need to give any unnecessary warnings."
Sun Ban'er squatted on the ground and looked at Zhao Zian.
Sure enough, under the "safe" care of the woman, Zhao Zian became much more sober than before.
"You're here to investigate... about the supplies being delivered outside, right?"
Seeing Zhao Zian took the initiative to confess, Sun Ban'er did not reply, but waited for his next words.
"Every month, about ten women are sent to Jinfeng City..."
This topic was not what Sun Ban'er wanted to hear.
So he interrupted Zhao Zian directly.
"Your so-called supplies were supposed to be delivered tonight, right?"
Zhao Zian was stunned.
From this sentence, he knew that the other party had already grasped very complete information.
"yes."
"Where are the people?"
"I have no idea."
Zhao Zian hurriedly said, "I really don't know! Today was indeed the delivery day, but I didn't receive any calls and couldn't contact them..."
Sun Ban'er narrowed his eyes.
I have to say, those women who sneaked in are really smart.
The way they sneaked in was not easy to detect, and even if Zhao Zian found out, he would not dare to report it.
Thinking of this, Sun Ban'er couldn't help but feel a little scared.
If the patrol team members had not been more cautious, no one would have realized that someone with malicious intentions had infiltrated their lair.
"Besides you, who else is accepting this batch of supplies?"
Sun Ban'er asked again.
Zhao Zian was indeed hesitant this time.
But this hesitation did not waste too much time.
He rattled off several names.
These names all have some status in Jinfeng City and are responsible for some more specific matters.
Moreover, most of these people have been following Ning Fan since the early days.
In fact, the most surprising thing is that a former veteran of the Luo family was also involved.
That person is nearly seventy years old.
Coming from the lower city to the upper city, when no longer having to worry about survival, everyone's thoughts have changed to a greater or lesser extent.
Sun Ban'er knew that he could not get anything out of Zhao Zi'an, so he had him taken away and detained.
As for the people he confessed, Sun Ban'er and others did not arrest them personally, but handed them over to the patrol team.
However, even if they were controlled, it would probably be difficult to find many valuable clues.
The disappearance of that group of people was equivalent to cutting off all clues.
Of course, Sun Ban'er could also investigate which city these girls were recruited from.
The problem is that doing so is too time-consuming.
The longer the night, the more dreams you may have. This concerns the safety of Wen Cai and her child. Every second of delay will cause everyone to worry more.
While Sun Ban'er was still racking his brains over where to start, Xu Ben, who had been following him throughout but hadn't really participated, suddenly asked, "Old Sun, what are you worried about?"
Sun Ban'er was stunned.
Xu Ben was a man who was sometimes stupid and sometimes smart, which made him a little confused about what the other party was thinking.
However, after all, they had been comrades in the Spiritual Assault, so the two of them were quite familiar with each other. Sun Ban'er echoed his words and replied, "He must be worried about the commander-in-chief's wife and children!"
"Ah, I thought you just wanted to arrest people now!"
Xu Ben said with a smile.
Sun Ban'er was about to retort, but suddenly froze.
He seemed to understand what Xu Ben meant.
He spent the entire night searching for clues about the people who had sneaked in.
But shouldn’t the most important thing for them now be to protect Wen Cai and her son?
Xu Ben added another sentence easily.
"Why don't I just let my dad send them to downtown?"
