At night, the streets of the border city were sparsely populated with vehicles. A black Mercedes-Benz G-Class sped past like lightning, its engine emitting a deep roar.

Zheng Tianming listened attentively to the traffic team's instructions while simultaneously directing his teammates.

Zheng Tianming: [You guys get off at the next intersection and flank them, don't chase that Bentley.]

He knew the young lady's driving skills best. If he continued to follow her like this, she would definitely panic and accidentally step on the accelerator instead of the brake, or turn on the windshield wipers instead of the steering wheel.

Xu Mengyu looked at her phone; the location was getting closer and closer. She slowed down and followed carefully, otherwise, what if they became desperate and hurt Xu Lu?

With one hand on the steering wheel and the other on his phone, Zheng Tianming sent a voice message to Xu Mengyu saying, "Don't be afraid. They've gone to so much trouble to ensure that no child is killed or injured."

Xu Lu lay in the back seat of the car with his eyes closed. He had been awake for a while, but hadn't moved. Now, he was torn between crying and not crying.

If he cries, the other person might find it annoying and hurt him. If he doesn't cry, the other person will definitely become suspicious that he didn't cry in this kind of situation at his age, and then they will be on guard against him. It will be difficult for him to find a chance to escape.

His grandmother often taught him things like "what to do if you encounter bad people" and "how to deal with getting lost in a shopping mall." Although there was nothing about kidnapping, he heard almost everything.

Xu Lu could clearly feel his heart pounding. His palms were sweaty, and his calves were cramping because he couldn't move while maintaining one position.

"This kid is fair-skinned and delicate, the higher-ups will definitely like him. Last time, the son of that richest man got over ten million." The driver said, glancing at the boy in the rearview mirror.

He had a full beard and wore a dark green coat. He drove very fast but with unusually steady speed.

In fact, trafficking a child isn't worth much money. If you sell it to a family that can't have children, it'll only fetch a maximum of 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. But this is different.

They would send their children across the border and then feed them to people with special fetishes, who were either high-ranking officials or wealthy individuals, whose identities and status could not be disclosed.

Some people are willing to spend money to satisfy certain fetishes, and they especially like a clean-cut young master like this.

The children sent there will never come out, because they will be "disposed of" once they grow up...

The woman sitting in the back seat said indifferently, "This plan is incomplete; we need to be careful."

They usually plan for more than six months. Even if they are caught, someone mentally unstable will step in and claim that the babies were switched at birth, and that they have mental health certificates from foreign hospitals.

"What can we do? As soon as the child's photo is posted, those old lecherous men start bidding against her." The man in the passenger seat, smoking a cigarette, asked, "Why didn't you bring your second husband's daughter?"

The woman snorted: "What, didn't you have enough fun last time? If I hadn't pretended to be crazy, you would have been caught by that Zheng Tianming guy."

"I don't like hearing that. Didn't you bring him here as a reward for us?" The man said, turning his head to look at Xu Lu lying in the car. "Old Qin, this kid is not bad, and he's a boy..." He then revealed a lewd expression.

Boys are good; even if they're not the first batch, you can raise them for a few days before sending them in, and they won't be discovered.

The driver turned his head and glanced at it: "Shut up, the bid for this kid has already reached fifteen million."

The woman kicked the chair: "Don't even think about it. That last one wasn't worth much, it only sold for a million or so. If you dare touch this one, I'll kill you."

She needed an identity, and coincidentally, a dim-witted, divorced man was pursuing her, along with a child who was a burden on her family. He would constantly call her ugly or say that she was an old witch who seduced his father.

Now, she'll never be able to speak again...

She is the woman who lives across from Zheng Tianming.

"Old Qin, there's a Bentley behind us, it's been following us all this way." The man in the passenger seat said, smoking a cigarette.

The driver glanced at it and said in a deep voice, "Check the license plate number."

Suddenly, Xu Lu opened his eyes: "Where am I! I want to go home! Waaah..." He struggled desperately.

The woman sitting to the side didn't react in time and was kicked hard by Xu Lu. She pulled hard on the rope binding Xu Lu and said, "If you shout again, I'll sew your mouth shut!"

"Ahhhhhh, let me go, you bunch of bastards!" Xu Lu struggled desperately, kicking the seat repeatedly.

He had to look away; the Bentley behind him must be coming to rescue him. Coupled with his fear, Xu Lu started crying at the top of his lungs. He was so scared that he even wet his pants.

He's never wet his pants in his entire life, sob sob...

The woman put her hand under her nose and pinched Xu Lu's leg hard: "This brat wet his pants."

Xu Lu cried even louder.

The driver and the man in the passenger seat were distracted by his words, and all they could think about was how to stop him from crying.

"Take off your socks and stuff them in his mouth," the man in the passenger seat yelled angrily, crying at the top of his lungs. "So annoying!"

The woman kicked the passenger seat: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm wearing stockings, if anyone should take them off, it's you."

Xu Lu is a germaphobe, and at this moment, all the hairs on his body stood on end. He felt nauseous and had bumped his head.

About two minutes later, Xu Lu couldn't shout anymore. His mouth was stuffed with socks, and he was gagging repeatedly. He felt like he was going to die...

Zheng Tianming drove, looking at the location on his phone: "[You guys, follow from the left and right, and quietly force the car to stop. Those in the back, stay hidden, don't alert them, protect the abducted child's safety.]"

He was afraid the dog would fight back desperately.

He usually drives a beat-up minivan, but this time he's driving a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The suspect vehicle in front of him clearly didn't notice him. The toll station is just 20 kilometers ahead.

Teammate: [Captain, we've caught up with the suspect vehicle, and the Bentley is still following it too.]

Zheng Tianming took a deep breath. If a fight broke out, Xu Mengyu would definitely be implicated.

Zheng Tianming: [She is the child's mother. Before taking action, try to find a way to stop her.]

Zheng Tianming was gripping the steering wheel when the car in front of him suddenly prepared to exit the highway. He squinted, accelerated, and overtook it.

If he gets off the highway before them, it won't attract attention; but if he gets off after them, it will be suspicious.

Xu Mengyu's pajamas were soaked with cold sweat. She was worried about Xu Lu every second and didn't even dare to blink while driving.

Just then, the car next to her suddenly changed lanes, and she slammed on the brakes, almost crashing into it.

She tried to go around it, but the people on the bus got off.

"Excuse me, I have an emergency. Please let me through." Xu Mengyu rolled down the car window, almost crying. She reached into her pajama pocket and rummaged around, but found nothing. She then opened the glove compartment to take out some money, but this wasn't her car.

It wasn't her fault, but all she wanted to do now was catch up quickly and save her son.

"Don't cry." A young man in his twenties showed his identification: "Don't worry, we will rescue the abducted children."

Xu Mengyu felt all her strength drain away in an instant, and she slumped onto the steering wheel.

With her abilities, she couldn't save the child at all; at most, she could catch up and die together, so the fawn wouldn't be afraid.

Now that someone has arrived, she naturally won't follow them and cause trouble.

Xu Mengyu couldn't hold back her tears. How scared the little deer must have been! How could she be such a mother...?

When Zheng Tianming learned that Xu Mengyu had stopped, he glanced in the rearview mirror and saw that the car had indeed exited the highway and was right behind him.

[Captain Zheng, there's a bend in the road 500 meters ahead; our men are right behind us.]

At this point, Yingying was crying so hard she was almost out of breath. She was pale with fright and kept calling for her mother. Of course, such a young child would be afraid to be separated from her mother.

"This kid is good-looking, but he's too noisy." The driver flicked his cigarette ash. "The main problem is that he won't fetch a good price."

"Alright, stop complaining. Things have been really tense these past two years. If we don't open for business soon, we'll starve to death," the man sitting in the back said helplessly.

They might not open for a year, but when they do, they live off the entire year.

"Brother Qin, the one in the car is worth fifteen million, plus this one in the car, we can split five or six hundred thousand," the man in the passenger seat replied.

They were all unemployed at first. He used to make cakes, but he couldn't earn 50,000 yuan a year, which wasn't enough to get married. Later, he got involved with drugs and joined the gang. Now he can get 200,000 yuan a year, which is enough.

Yingying struggled incessantly, only to be slapped hard across the face, leaving a bright red handprint: "If you cry again, I'll throw you down and kill you."

Yingying's body convulsed, and she kept calling out "Mommy." She was scared and wanted to go home immediately.

"Holy crap! Watch out!"

The man sitting in the passenger seat suddenly shouted.

"Bang--"

This is a bend in the road. The car in front suddenly braked. They were chatting, and the child behind them was crying. The driver reacted too slowly and crashed directly into the G-Class in front.

"Brother, let's go!" the man sitting in the back shouted.

It's too unlucky for him to be in a car accident at this time; he always felt something bad was going to happen.

At this moment, Zheng Tianming got out of the car, pointed his finger, and looked fierce, as if he wanted an explanation.

"Damn it, who do you think you are?" The man in the passenger seat opened the car door, holding a dagger in his hand.

"Do you even know how to drive?!" Zheng Tianming preemptively berated the man.

The man pulled out a dagger: "Damn it, who the hell is he talking to!"

Zheng Tianming kicked him, and the man swung the dagger forcefully, but failed to injure the man and instead sat heavily on the ground.

"Keep an eye on the child, don't let her cry out loud." The driver said, getting out of the car with his hands behind his back: "Dude, what do you mean?"

With a loud "bang--",

Zheng Tianming pulled out his gun and pointed it at the driver's arm. Anyone who uses a gun knows what it means to have your hands behind your back.

He then fired four shots in quick succession, hitting the driver in the arm and both legs, and the last shot was fired at the man who had just gotten up and was holding a dagger.

Upon seeing this, the man sitting in the back seat opened the car door and ran towards the guardrail.

Seeing this, Zheng Tianming narrowed one eye, fired a shot at the man's back, and then walked to the car and pulled Yingying out of it.

The car behind them caught up and detained the three people.

Zheng Tianming handed Yingying over, then glanced at his phone. He realized it would be too late to get there now...

"Uncle Zheng..." Yingying cried hysterically, clinging to Zheng Tianming's clothes.

The people following behind couldn't even hold the child; he was terrified, his little body trembling uncontrollably.

Zheng Tianming took the car keys and got into the car. He had to get there even if there wasn't enough time!

The young lady must be terrified right now.

Teammate: [Captain, they're on guard; we dare not advance rashly.]

Zheng Tianming opened his phone's map app and checked the timeline. It would take him at least forty minutes to get there: "Keep your distance between you. Make sure the abducted child in the vehicle is safe."

Teammate: [The captain's too late, they're going to take the back path.]

If they take the back roads, they won't be able to keep following them; otherwise, it will be too conspicuous, and they'll immediately see that they came prepared, making them even more vigilant.

Zheng Tianming commanded in a deep voice: "[Hit them.]"

Xu Lu lay in the car, feeling nauseous. With each breath, he felt like he was going to die the next second.

With a "bang," Xu Lu fell off the car seat again, hitting the same spot once more, which hurt so much that tears welled up in his eyes.

She's still just a child, and this time she couldn't help but cry; it wasn't an act...

"Old Qin, you guys run first!" The woman said, and immediately hugged Xu Lu in her arms. She had a mental illness, so even if they caught her, it wouldn't make a difference.

She immediately opened the car door, grabbed Xu Lu, and jumped out. The driver slammed on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow.

The woman fell heavily to the ground, and Xu Lu's arm scraped a long gash on the ground, causing him to gasp in pain.

I've never suffered like this in my entire life.

The people behind them were holding guns and pointing them at the woman on the ground.

The woman cursed under her breath. She had told them long ago that things without a plan would not work, but they just wouldn't listen.

However, she is a foreign citizen and has a mental illness, so they said that when her daughter was taken away to visit relatives, they couldn't do anything about it.

When Xu Lu was carried to Xu Mengyu's side, her little face was deathly pale, and her arms were covered in blood.

Even a small scrape on a child's skin causes a mother's heart to ache.

Xu Mengyu hugged Xu Lu, tears streaming down her face, feeling heartbroken: "Don't be afraid, Mom will take you to the hospital."

"Mom, change my pants..." Xu Lu endured the pain; he couldn't stand the wet pants sticking to him, he couldn't bear it!

Xu Mengyu hugged Xu Lu tightly, unable to hear anything else. The thought of losing her and then finding her again filled her with both fear and joy.

Upon learning that Xu Lu was injured and needed to go to the hospital, Zheng Tianming turned his car around and headed to the hospital ahead of schedule...

Teammate: [Captain, send two men. By the time we catch up, the car will be empty.]

These people are like rats; if they can't be wiped out in one fell swoop, they'll scatter in all directions. They mostly hide in the crowd, waiting for their chance to strike.

The arrest operation was extremely difficult. Zheng Tianming lit a cigarette. His identity had been exposed, and his superiors would send people back. However, he had obtained some evidence and was only one step away from becoming the ringleader.

He parked the car in front of the hospital, intending to wait for Xu Mengyu, but Jiang Qiu arrived first. Yingying was so frightened that she had already been taken to the hospital ahead of time.

Jiang Qiu held Zheng Tianming's hand: "Thank you, thank you for saving Yingying."

There were many police officers around, as well as Jiang Qiu's grandmother, who surrounded him.

Xu Mengyu had an injury on her foot. After carrying Xu Lu out of the car, she immediately saw Zheng Tianming. The police car's dazzling lights illuminated him as he stood in the crowd, with Jiang Qiu throwing herself on him and crying loudly.

Xu Lu wrapped his arms around Xu Mengyu's neck, wearing a coat, and looked at Zheng Tianming. Uncle Zheng was really handsome; he was the tallest person in the crowd.

Zheng Tianming looked at Xu Mengyu, their eyes met, and his expression changed because he saw Xu Lu's face clearly...
