Chen Xiaoru pushed open the secret door and followed in without hesitation.

Behind the secret door was a narrow passage, winding and twisting, leading to an unknown darkness. She gripped the frying pan tightly in her hand, pressed against the damp wall, and groped forward with light steps.

The passage was filled with a musty smell mixed with the fishy smell of earth. She stepped on the uneven dirt floor, and each step brought a rustling sound that echoed in the dark space.

After walking for a few minutes, the sound of a baby crying suddenly echoed from the front of the hallway. Chen Xiaoru tensed her muscles, clutched the frying pan tightly with both hands, and quickened her pace as she rushed forward.

A faint light appeared at the end of the passage. She gritted her teeth, exerted force with her legs, and rushed out like a cannonball.

The night breeze made her squint slightly. Looking out, she saw a desolate mass grave. Under the hazy moonlight, dilapidated graves lay scattered around, overgrown with weeds, and the tombstones tilted.

The middle-aged woman was holding a crying baby, stumbling through the graves. The baby's cry cut through the silent night sky, piercing Chen Xiaoru's heart.

"Stop right there!" Chen Xiaoru roared, exerted force on her feet, and quickly chased after him.

The middle-aged woman was so frightened by the sound that her whole body trembled violently, her feet lost, and she stumbled a few steps, almost falling. She turned her head and looked behind her, and found Chen Xiaoru chasing her closely, with a ferocious expression on her face.

She suddenly reached into her arms with her right hand, pulled out a dagger that was shining with cold light, and turned around to stab Chen Xiaoru in the chest.

Chen Xiaoru had been wary of a counterattack and instinctively dodged to the right. At the same time, she seized the opportunity and brought the frying pan down on the middle-aged woman's head, hitting her knife-wielding wrist hard.

Ding! The sound of the dagger falling to the ground echoed in the mass grave.

The middle-aged woman took two steps back, holding her wrist. Her face was distorted, cold sweat broke out, and she gasped in pain.

Chen Xiaoru seized the opportunity, exerted force with her right leg, and delivered a powerful kick right into the abdomen. The middle-aged woman groaned and fell heavily to the overgrown muddy ground.

"Hand over the child!" Chen Xiaoru gripped the frying pan tightly and stared at the other person fiercely.

The middle-aged woman lay on the ground, gasping for breath for a moment. Suddenly, her eyes turned bloodshot, and a ferocious smile stretched across her lips. She suddenly jumped up from the ground, her nails gleaming coldly, and pounced on Chen Xiaoru.

"Go to hell!" Her voice was hoarse and her face was ferocious, like a mad woman.

Chen Xiaoru hadn't expected the opponent to have such explosive power. Three bloody scratches were left on her right arm by the opponent's sharp nails. Blood flowed down her arm, and the pain was burning.

Fury boiling in her chest, Chen Xiaoru gritted her teeth and gripped the pan handle tightly with both hands. As the middle-aged woman lunged at her again, she lifted the pan high and smashed it down with all her might.

Bang! With a dull crash, the middle-aged woman's eyes rolled back and she fell straight to the ground.

The baby was still crying, his voice already hoarse.

Chen Xiaoru ignored the wound on her arm and rushed forward in two steps, holding the baby in her arms. She gently patted the baby's back and said softly, "Don't cry, don't cry, you're safe, everything is fine..."

The baby gradually calmed down under her gentle comfort, with his little face against her chest, and soon fell asleep.

Chen Xiaoru finally breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the eerie graves and weeds around her, she knew she couldn't stay here for long. She had to leave this haunted place quickly.

Chen Xiaoru gritted her teeth, holding the child in one hand and the unconscious middle-aged woman in the other, and struggled forward in the passage. The damp air was filled with a musty smell, and the soil underfoot was soft, so she had to stop every few steps to catch her breath.

Finally returning to the house, she saw the three men still lying on the ground, breathing steadily. Chen Xiaoru lowered the woman onto the ground, stretched her aching shoulders, and then gently placed the child on the bed.

Moonlight streamed in through the window, illuminating the scene on the bed. Chen Xiaoru's eyes widened – seven newborn babies lay on the bed, their cheeks rosy, soundly asleep.

"These scumbags!" Chen Xiaoru cursed under her breath, gritting her teeth. She pulled a rope from her space and deftly tied the four unconscious men together. Her grip was incredibly strong, cutting deeply into their flesh, but she paid no mind.

"What a bunch of scum!" Chen Xiaoru gritted her teeth and pulled the rope with both hands, tightening the knot tightly. She made sure each knot was tied firmly, so that even if these people woke up, they would definitely not be able to break free.

She looked around at the unconscious criminals and the babies sleeping in the bed, took a deep breath, turned around and hurried towards the Public Security Bureau.

"Comrade Public Security! Comrade Public Security!" Chen Xiaoru rushed into the Public Security Bureau, sweat dripping from her forehead, her voice trembling with anxiety. Three bloodstains remained on her right arm, and her clothes were stained with mud.

The officers in the duty room were startled by the sudden shout. A young officer immediately stood up and walked quickly toward her. He stood tall and straight, his eyes determined, and the police badge on his uniform gleamed in the light.

"Please don't be anxious," the young police officer said gently, noting Chen Xiaoru's distraught state. "Tell me slowly, what happened?"

Chen Xiaoru gasped and said, "I found a gang that kidnapped babies. Now I have subdued them. They are in a dilapidated house in the suburbs."

After hearing this, the police immediately became serious and called his colleagues to ask in detail about the address and specific situation.

A few minutes later, a group of police officers rode bicycles to the scene of the crime.

Chen Xiaoru sat on the back of the bicycle to lead the police.

Soon, the police car arrived at the shabby house.

The police rushed into the house with guns and found that the gangsters were indeed tied up tightly.
