Qiao Wanwan suppressed a laugh and kissed him on the cheek. "This is a reward for you."

"Thank you, Madam."

"You're welcome." Qiao Wanwan hugged him. "Mom said she went to have Zaozao's fortune told, and the divination said that Zaozao is safe and sound now."

“That would be even better.” Zhan Jingting never believed in these things, but he respected other people’s beliefs. “You and Mom don’t need to worry too much. Besides, I’ve sent more people over there. Although it’s not our territory, we can still do a thorough search.”

"Um......"

......

The woman Zhan Jingting rescued from the bar was named Sun Chen. After the lawyer took her back to China, Xu Lai also quickly left Qiao Wanwan's place and went directly to the airport to pick her up.

That evening, Qiao Wanwan received a call from Xu Lai.

"Madam Zhan..."

"What's wrong?" Qiao Wanwan heard her crying. "What happened?"

“Sun Chen is so pitiful,” Xu Lai cried. “He was tortured to this state. Although he survived, he has no quality of life.”

Qiao Wanwan said, "You can't show this kind of emotion in front of her, or she will be in even more pain."

“I know, I didn’t show it in front of her. She’s asleep now, that’s why I came out to call you,” Xu Lai sobbed. “She can’t fall asleep at all; she can only force herself to sleep by taking medication.”

“I know that. The people taking care of her have already told me.” Qiao Wanwan sighed silently. “It’s come to this, and there’s nothing we can do. Be strong and help her.”

"Yes, I will definitely make that damn scumbag pay the price he deserves!"

The legal team quickly helped Sun Chen file a lawsuit. Sun Chen's husband did not expect that she would come back alive, let alone that he could find someone to help her.

But after the initial panic subsided, he immediately hired a lawyer to handle the situation.

Qiao Wanwan learned about the progress from Xu Lai's phone calls.

"Mrs. Zhan, that man is shameless! He actually dared to deny it! Luckily, we have evidence, but today in court, the opposing lawyer said that the video we provided does not constitute direct evidence at all!"

"Calm down first," Qiao Wanwan reassured him. "My lawyer actually told me this a long time ago. Hidden camera videos cannot be used as evidence in court. Even if the judge finds him guilty, he can only be convicted of human trafficking. The people who directly harmed him were the ones in the bar, not him. He can't be sentenced to death for human trafficking."

"What can we do? If people like this can still live well, where is justice? Where is morality?"

"Don't worry, the legal team is looking into it, and there will always be a way."

“Madam Zhan, I’ve consulted with others. The incident occurred overseas, making evidence collection difficult. Furthermore, there are many restrictions on bringing it back to China. So, at this point, it’s already a good outcome if he goes to jail,” Xu Lai said angrily. “I’m not reconciled! I’m really not reconciled!”

"Don't be impatient. You can't rush things now. If you rush, you'll lose the upper hand even more, understand?"

"I'll try my best," Xu Lai said. "I'm going to comfort her now; she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"This is what I should do. I only hope that the wicked will get their just deserts."

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Jingting stepped forward and asked.

"Xu Lai told me that the lawsuit was not going well, and even if he was sentenced, he would only go to jail."

Zhan Jingting smiled faintly, "Just for this?"

"Isn't this troublesome enough?"

Zhan Jingting pinched her cheek. "Wanwan, remember, anything I haven't interfered with is a small matter."

"What do you mean?" Qiao Wanwan blinked. "...Ever since you rescued that person from the bar, you haven't inquired about this matter again...You have some plans, right?"

"Wanwan, leave this matter to me from now on, you don't need to worry about it."

Qiao Wanwan: "......"

"Jingting, are you planning to secretly get rid of him?"

The man didn't deny it. "You guessed it so quickly?"

“Given your style of doing things, this is perfectly normal. Of course I could guess it.” Qiao Wanwan looked at him. “The reason you didn’t interfere at first was because you knew that I would definitely get involved, so you let me do it myself and then step in when things got really desperate.”

Zhan Jingting gazed into her clear, innocent eyes. "Wanwan, I will always protect your innocence, but I hope you understand me. If we hadn't shed blood, the Zhan family wouldn't be where we are today, and I would be no exception. Besides, there's no need to be soft-hearted when dealing with such a damned person."

“I understand, and I’ve never interfered. Your status is different from ordinary people. If I weren’t ruthless, you would probably have died countless times.” Qiao Wanwan said seriously, “But in this matter, I still hope we can slow down. It would be too easy for him to die like this. I hope he can regret what he has done, kneel down and apologize. This is also the justice that should be given to his wife.”

"Okay, I promise you. I just hope you won't worry about these things. I'll handle the ones I can't solve."

"Yes, I know."

......

The next morning, as soon as Qiao Wanwan came downstairs, she saw Su Jing and Qin Shujun sitting on the sofa, chatting enthusiastically on their phones.

"Mom, Sister Shujun," Qiao Wanwan greeted them, "Have you all had breakfast?"

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm already full of anger." Qin Shujun showed Qiao Wanwan her phone with righteous indignation, "Look at this, there are all kinds of beasts in this society. This man actually sold his wife abroad and turned her into a human pig!"

Qiao Wanwan frowned, hurriedly took the phone and saw that it was indeed Sun Chen!

The news has topped the trending searches, sparking nationwide outrage!

Just as Qiao Wanwan was about to ask for clarification, her phone rang.

It was Xu Lai calling.

"Madam Zhan, have you seen the trending topics?"

"I see, what's going on?"

"I did it," Xu Lai said. "Only by making a big fuss can this matter get attention, and only then will the relevant departments be forced to give him a harsher sentence!"

"Why did you make this decision on your own without asking my opinion first?" Qiao Wanwan said angrily. "Do you know that Sun Chen has an elderly grandfather who doesn't know that his granddaughter is in trouble? Now that you've made a big fuss, her grandfather will definitely find out. How can the old man accept something like this all at once!"

"...I didn't think that much about it." Xu Lai panicked immediately. "I was only thinking about how to bring him to justice; I didn't consider anything else..."

"You're being too impulsive." Qiao Wanwan closed her eyes, trying to suppress the anger in her chest. "I'll send someone to find her grandfather right away. Hopefully, it won't be too late!"

Qiao Wanwan hung up the phone and immediately arranged for someone to go there.

About an hour later, the person sent called, "Madam, something has happened!"
