In an abandoned yard in the suburbs, a van without license plates slowly drove in.

Shen Lang and his four sisters were hiding in a large tree not far from the courtyard.

"Young Master, it seems this is the place. Shall we move out now?" Dongxue squatted down beside Shen Lang and asked quietly.

Shen Lang looked at the open courtyard gate, shook his head, and said, "Wait, this group of people shouldn't all be back yet."

Sure enough, before the gate closed, five more vans drove in.

Of the five vehicles, the one with the fewest people on board had at least three children.

The moment the courtyard gate closed, Shen Lang said, "Qiu Ye, go scout ahead."

"Yes, young master." Qiu Ye replied and then disappeared silently from the tree trunk.

Three minutes later, Qiu Ye returned to the tree trunk and said, "Young Master, there are nine adults in the courtyard, all ordinary people, none of them are ancient martial artists. There are also more than twenty children."

Shen Lang stared coldly at the courtyard and said, "Kill."

"yes."

Five figures instantly floated from the tree trunk into the yard.

At this moment, the traffickers were sitting in the backyard with the group of children, counting the cash the children had begged for.

After counting the cash, the burly man at the head of the group laughed and said, "A good haul today, more than 20,000 in cash."

Then he said to the children, "You did a great job today, so I'll give each of you an extra half a steamed bun."

Upon hearing this, many children's eyes lit up with joy.

Then the burly man pulled out a little boy who looked about eight or nine years old and said, "Of course, there are rewards and punishments."

He pointed at the little boy and said to the children in front of him, "Today, he asked passersby for help while selling flowers, which broke the rules I set for you, so today's reward is canceled. As usual, each of you will receive ten slaps."

Upon hearing the burly man's words, many of the children's gazes towards the little boy shifted from pity to resentment.

He then took out a pair of scissors from his pocket, walked up to the little boy, turned him to face the group of children, and then reached out and pinched the little boy's chin, prying open his mouth, saying, "This will teach you a lesson. This is the punishment for breaking the rules."

The little boy watched as the bright scissors were slowly brought into his mouth, and he screamed in terror.

The little boy's pig-like screams drew laughter from those around him: "Hahahaha~"

Some of the children had already closed their eyes, unable to bear watching this scene.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky, praying in her heart that the older brother who said he would save her would come quickly.

"Scream? What good will it do? I'll cut your tongue right now so you can never speak again, then let's see how you beg for help." The burly man's tone gradually turned mad, his eyes fixed viciously on the little boy.

Just as he was about to exert force, he suddenly saw a bright light flash by, and then his arm went out of control.

The arm fell to the ground under his gaze.

After a dizzying sensation, he found himself seemingly seeing the night sky.

Beneath the night sky stood a headless corpse, missing an arm.

"That was...me?"

"Ah..." The children in front of the headless corpse screamed in fright as the blood gushed from its neck.

Only Lin Xiaoxiao didn't scream. She knew that the older brother had come to save them.

Immediately afterwards, five masked men slowly descended from the rooftop.

The man in the white short-sleeved shirt, who was leading the group, waved to Lin Xiaoxiao in the crowd and said with a smile, "Little girl, come here quickly."

Lin Xiaoxiao recognized the person in front of her at a glance as the older brother she had been longing for all the way.

She pushed aside the child blocking her way and ran quickly toward Shen Lang.

"Brother, I knew you wouldn't lie to me, you would definitely come," Lin Xiaoxiao said with a smile, nestled in Shen Lang's arms.

Shen Lang picked up Lin Xiaoxiao, wiped the dust off her face, and asked with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, are you scared?"

Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Xiaoxiao is not afraid, because Xiaoxiao is a hero."

"Well done, Xiao Xiao," Shen Lang praised, then instructed the four men beside him, "Leave one alive to hand over to the police."

"yes."

Four colored lights flashed in the courtyard for a few seconds, and the eight people who were standing there in a daze were reduced to only one.

Shen Lang carried Lin Xiaoxiao to the person and asked, "Do you want to die or live?"

Upon hearing Shen Lang's question, the man snapped out of his daze.

"Spare me...spare me..." The man knelt on the ground, his legs trembling, and a liquid flowed from his trouser leg.

Shen Lang asked, "Do you have any other strongholds?"

The man shook his head and said, "No, please don't kill me, please, I don't want to die..."

"Take out your phone and turn yourself in, and I might spare your life," Shen Lang said in a deathly tone, as if he were talking to a dead man.

"Turn yourself in?" The man hesitated for a moment, then immediately shook his head and said, "No...no, no, no...I can't. I'll be beaten to death if I go to jail..."

"Oh. Then go die."

As soon as Shen Lang finished speaking, a flash of green light appeared, and the man's head was severed from his body.

Chuncao stood before Shen Lang and said respectfully, "Young Master, all the sins have been eradicated."

Shen Lang nodded, walked up to the children, and looked at the group of children whose eyes were filled with fear, saying, "We have already called the police about what happened here. The police will be here soon and will help you find your parents."

After saying that, Shen Lang carried Lin Xiaoxiao and floated lightly towards the roof.

The Yingtan City Criminal Investigation Corps received a call ten minutes ago reporting that a group of trafficked children were hiding in a courtyard in the eastern suburbs of Yingtan City.

Upon receiving the call, the Criminal Investigation Department immediately mobilized all its personnel and rushed to the scene with live ammunition.

Child trafficking is an unforgivable crime in China, and Xing Zhanying, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Corps, dared not slack off and personally led a team to the scene.

When they pushed open the door, the scene that greeted them sent chills down the spines of all the detectives.

A group of children were huddled together in the yard, surrounded by nine headless corpses and nine human heads lying on the ground.

After rescuing the children in the yard, the criminal police cordoned off the scene. They then immediately called in experts from the Xijiang Provincial Police Department.

However, the experts were stumped when faced with the nine headless corpses.

There were no footprints, no murder weapon, no fingerprints, and nothing left by the murderer at the scene.

The lead criminal investigation expert walked up to Xing Zhanying and said, "Captain Xing, based on my deduction, this is not the work of a normal person. You should request the intervention of special departments. This is no longer something we can handle."
