After the criminal investigation experts left, Xing Zhanying led his team to resume the search in the courtyard.

During the search, a police officer discovered the entrance to the basement in the backyard.

In the nearly 100-square-meter basement, there is a huge iron cage.

There were six children in the iron cage, missing arms and legs, with their necks chained together.

And dozens of white bones with teeth marks, and what the children hadn't finished eating...

Looking at the bloodstains remaining at the corners of the children's mouths, even seasoned detectives who had seen all sorts of crime scenes felt their hair stand on end and their legs trembled uncontrollably, as if nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Some of the police officers with poor mental fortitude even started vomiting.

When Xing Zhanying arrived underground, he personally rescued the children who were huddled in the cage.

However, the children's bloodshot eyes were vacant, and they were expressionless and silent, like walking corpses.

After sending the children away, Xing Zhanying couldn't help but tremble and say, "Hell is on earth... Hell is on earth..."

Back at the Criminal Investigation Department, the department's instructor, upon learning of the incident, immediately brought in dozens of psychological counseling experts to begin treatment for the officers who had been found in the basement.

The treatment lasted until noon the next day.

Only Xing Zhanying came out of the treatment room.

Some officers even started acting crazy in the treatment room.

The mental health experts were also exhausted, and several of them collapsed from exhaustion.

After leaving the treatment room, Xing Zhanying immediately went to find the children who were still conscious and asked them about the crime scene.

Based on the children's eyewitness testimonies, Xing Zhanying deduced that the group of chivalrous murderers were not ordinary people.

He immediately decided to report the matter to his superior, the Commissioner of Police, and request the intervention of a special department.

However, half an hour later, he received the reply that the case would be closed immediately.

Xing Zhanying was then informed that his next task was to cooperate with police officers in various locations to help these children find their parents and family members.

Last night, Shen Lang carried Lin Xiaoxiao and the four sisters back to the hotel, which immediately stunned everyone present.

"Husband, who is this child?" Yu Xian'er stared in disbelief at Lin Xiaoxiao in Shen Lang's arms and asked.

Shen Lang sighed and handed Lin Xiaoxiao to Xia Bingyan: "Bingyan, give the child a bath first."

However, Lin Xiaoxiao did not want to leave Shen Lang's embrace. She hugged Shen Lang's neck tightly and shook her head, saying, "Brother, Xiaoxiao is scared."

Shen Lang gently patted her skinny back and comforted her softly, "Xiao Xiao, your sisters are your wives. Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

Hearing Shen Lang's words, Lin Xiaoxiao was then carried into the bathroom by Xia Bingyan.

Then Shen Lang sat down and put his arm around Yu Xian'er's shoulder, and the two sat on the sofa.

Just as Shen Lang was about to explain, Shuang'er jumped to his side, hugged his arm, and hurriedly asked, "Honey, honey, is this little girl your ex-girlfriend's child? Where is your ex-girlfriend? Did she come back with you? Did you do a paternity test? Is she your child?"

"Honey, say something! Honey, please say something!"

Shen Lang pressed Shuang'er's head down and buried it in the sofa.

Then he explained to Yu Xian'er what had happened that day.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian'er immediately dialed her father, Yu Shizhong's, phone number.

Shen Lang and the four sisters' trip was not like Zhao Wuji's massacre of the Zhao family. Their figures and physiques had been completely exposed, and Yu Xian'er was not sure if any of the children among them had any special talents who remembered what Shen Lang and the others looked like.

After all, in the Yanhuang Kingdom, only the government can enforce the law. What Shen Lang and his group did has already violated the law, and there is no article in the criminal law that interprets "acting as a chivalrous hero".

After quickly handling the aftermath, Yu Xian'er asked Shen Lang, "Husband, what are your plans for this child?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Lang said, "Let's adopt her. Xiao Xiao has no parents and was sold to human traffickers by her only relative. Sending her back is obviously not feasible."

Then Shen Lang looked intently at the closed glass door of the bathroom and said, "This child's mind is not like other children. If we send him to an orphanage, he is likely to become an unstable factor."

Thinking of Lin Xiaoxiao's calm and composed demeanor after witnessing the four sisters commit murder, Shen Lang couldn't help but gasp.

It's terrifying that a seven-year-old child wouldn't feel any discomfort after witnessing a murder. Moreover, Shen Lang himself came from an orphanage, where the environment was like a small society; no one could guarantee that Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't do something unbelievable.

Yu Xian'er nodded and said, "Then I'll have my family contact the local government to get this child an ID card. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient for him to travel."

Shen Lang nodded in agreement.

The two then discussed the details of settling Lin Xiaoxiao in.

Soon, Lin Xiaoxiao, wrapped in a white bath towel, was brought out of the bathroom by Xia Bingyan.

While giving Lin Xiaoxiao a bath, Xia Bingyan overheard Shen Lang and the other person's conversation and gained some understanding of Lin Xiaoxiao's background.

After washing off the grime, Lin Xiaoxiao, though thin as a skeleton, still had a smiling face, and her delicate features made it easy to tell that she was a beauty in the making.

"Brother, the bubbles my sister used smell so good!" Lin Xiaoxiao's face lit up with an innocent and bright smile, and a little tiger tooth was showing at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Xiaoxiao had never taken a bath with hot water since she could remember. For the three years her uncle Lin Zhifeng adopted her, he always made her go to the river to bathe in the river water by herself.

After being abducted, Lin Xiaoxiao never took a bath. The traffickers only allowed them to wipe their faces with wet towels when they went out to sell flowers.

Shen Lang hugged Lin Xiaoxiao and said with a smile, "How about Xiaoxiao uses those foam baths from now on?"

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the three women present and innocently asked, "Brother, are these three sisters your wives?"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "Yes."

Then Shen Lang pointed to Yu Xian'er and the other two and introduced them to Lin Xiaoxiao: "This is Sister Xian'er, this is Sister Shuang'er, and this is Sister Bingyan. There is also Sister Shiya who is studying martial arts at Longhu Mountain. You will be able to meet Sister Shiya in two years."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, then jumped down from Shen Lang's arms and ran to Yu Xian'er, who was sitting next to Shen Lang. Staring at Yu Xian'er's stunningly beautiful face, she said, "Sister Xian'er, you are so beautiful! When Xiaoxiao grows up, she wants to be as beautiful as you!"

Yu Xian'er smiled knowingly, picked up Lin Xiaoxiao, and said, "Then Xiaoxiao must eat well and not be picky about food!"
