Team Leader Qin smiled and said, "Boss, please don't joke around. This was purely an accident. If we hadn't happened to run into the human traffickers making arrests, we wouldn't have been able to discover their hideout."

"I don't need to claim credit. I just hope that all the abducted women and children can be found. How much their families must miss them."

The loss of a child doesn't just destroy one family; it can affect several.

The top leader sighed, knowing that this was Qin's true thought.

"I know people whose children were abducted. The mothers went insane, and the fathers later died in an accident. The once happy families were shattered..."

"Sigh, never mind. I'll start a secret investigation tomorrow. The higher-ups have transferred a lot of people to us, so we'll definitely find out the results as soon as possible."

Seeing that Captain Qin and his team were about to go on another long trip, he couldn't help but ask.

"Are you heading to the border again? Why don't you take a break and come help me?"

Team Leader Qin nodded, then shook his head. "We need to go to another border, this time to the north, to see if the problems there can be resolved before winter arrives."

"So, I'm really sorry, boss, we can't stay."

The leader smiled and waved his hand, "Then go ahead! I hope you will succeed immediately."

Watching the group leave, the assistant said, "Boss, why are you being so polite to these people? People say that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Every place has its share of dirty deeds."

"Could they really be sent by a high-ranking leader on an incognito inspection? Or are they some kind of special department overseen by the high-ranking leader?"

The top leader glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense. Even if there are dirty deeds, even if they can be corrupt, as long as they are not discovered, those people can still live peacefully."

"However, those people should never have laid a hand on the people; this is something no one can tolerate."

"Xiao Li, I really hope that China can produce more capable people like them. Then, China will definitely be able to make further progress and no one will dare to bully us."

The top leader sighed, noticing that Xiao Li clearly didn't agree with the idea.

"Alright, that's enough. Once everyone else has arrived, we should start our investigation."

His voice gradually turned cold, like a sharp sword about to be drawn, ready to strike at any moment.

Within three days, all the evidence was collected, and the group was arrested without any warning, leaving no one behind.

They even found the bureau chief's brother-in-law hiding in a pool outside the city.

At first, the bureau chief tried to stall these people, but when he saw his brother-in-law arrested and knew that everything was over, he began to confess.

This group of human traffickers frequently operates here, but the women and children they capture are not all from this provincial capital. Instead, they are captured from all over the country and brought here to be sold in remote mountainous areas.

This operation operated for eight years, during which time it sold 52 women and 67 children, some of whom died en route.

This matter attracted the attention of the top leader, who immediately issued a strict order to investigate it thoroughly.

As officials were brought to justice one by one, and some guilty individuals committed suicide, the entire case was gradually exposed to the public.

No one expected that the people who were supposed to protect them were actually in cahoots with the criminal gang.

On the day of the public trial, a large number of angry people came outside, throwing rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at the villains.

People who were once high and mighty, respected officials, now lowered their heads in shame.

Some, unwilling to die, knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness, saying they had been threatened and were victims.

Even so, no one sympathized with them; even their families considered them a disgrace and could never hold their heads high again.

On a gloomy day, they were executed by firing squad. As the last person died, the sky suddenly cleared, as if the spirits of the fallen heroes had finally found solace.

Captain Qin had been keeping a close eye on what was happening here these past few days, and when he learned that those bad guys had received their just deserts, a slow smile crept onto his lips.

Lin Chuchu asked anxiously, "How is it? Have those people been caught?"

Liu Xiaonuan, who was standing next to him, also looked at him expectantly.

Team Leader Qin nodded. "A total of 23 people were executed and 5 committed suicide. This incident even made the newspapers."

The top leader did not intend to hide the matter from the public; he still reported the whole story to serve as a warning to other officials.

After the initial surprise, Lin Chuchu was filled with complex emotions.

"Sigh, I never imagined that such a horrific case could happen in today's society."

"I wonder when the world will be at peace."

Team Leader Qin had a broad perspective: "There can't be a world without crime. Where there is light, there is darkness. As long as there is competition and human ambition, there will definitely be dark things."

"However, the country will definitely get better and better."

That's for sure; as long as the country maintains justice, darkness won't last long.

Everyone was in a good mood after learning that the group of bad guys had been brought down.

I found a suitable place to rest at noon.

Lin Chuchu took out a lot of food from her spatial storage and set up tables next to the car.

You definitely can't drink alcohol, but you can drink beverages.

Some of the food was ready-made, and there were hot pots and barbecue grills set up in the middle, with steam rising around, making everyone feel like they were having a picnic.

Surrounded by mountains and fields, with blue skies and white clouds, and beautiful scenery of mountains and forests, it's easy to relax in such an environment.

Their group consisted of 200 people, some of whom were soldiers. They initially viewed the trip as just a mission.

I later learned that it was just like a trip. Although the journey during the day was not easy, they still had houses to stay in at night, and not even tents.

If you want to eat something, you can tell Comrade Lin, and he thinks you can have it tonight.

They had experienced field missions before, but none had been as comfortable as this one.

Just like traveling.

I really wish this journey could last a little longer.

After dinner, Lin Chuchu suggested that they rest there, and Team Leader Qin agreed. Anyway, there was no time limit for their mission, so they could rest whenever they wanted.

Lin Chuchu brought out all the houses and placed them on the open ground at the foot of the mountain. Each house contained its own living necessities.

The people living in each room are also fixed.

You can also boil water for bathing.

Lin Chuchu, Liu Xiaonuan, and Qin Dui were in a house with three small but independent rooms.

Lin Chuchu actually quite likes this kind of life, but it would be great if her family could come along too.
