As soon as Zheng Tianming got off the plane, he sent a message to Xu Mengyu, and then took Liang Dawei and Li Fengmao to the hotel.

"I never thought I'd live in such a luxurious suite!" Li Fengmao exclaimed as soon as he entered the room, plopping onto the bed. "That's why I always say you have to follow Captain Zheng!"

Liang Dawei sat down on the sofa without saying a word: "Next, we need to infiltrate the upper echelons, otherwise we won't be able to find out."

Zheng Tianming unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and gulped down half of it: "Since we're here, how can we not play for a couple of days first?"

The two people in the room looked at Zheng Tianming. They were eager to investigate the case, and even a day earlier would allow the child to escape the clutches of evil.

"I'll go play in a bit," Zheng Tianming said, glancing at his watch.

They were abroad, but since they were all trained, they didn't think this place was anything special. According to Li Fengmao, they couldn't even find a good spot to take a dump...

Not only that, there are also many thieves.

Li Fengmao patted his pocket, looking awkwardly at Zheng Tianming and himself: "The game card I just bought is gone..."

"You're hopeless." Liang Dawei looked disgusted. He was worried about this kind of thing, so he didn't even take his phone. Unless someone pulled down his pants on the street, they wouldn't be able to take anything from him.

Zheng Tianming was different from him. He first went to a luxury store to buy two bags for Xu Mengyu, along with a bunch of useless things, such as water bottles, accessories, and a pair of hair clips.

He also managed to snag a pair of socks.

"You brought the two of us along, not just to buy your sister-in-law a bag, right?" Li Fengmao was still upset about his game card, which cost over four hundred yuan.

Zheng Tianming took a few photos of Xu Mengyu with his bag, then glanced at Li Fengmao and raised an eyebrow.

Next, it was all about eating, drinking, and having fun. At first, Liang Dawei didn't understand, but he figured it out later.

No wonder they split into two groups; Zheng Tianming's face is too recognizable. If he's investigating a case, he'll be discovered immediately.

Zheng Tianming didn't contact Fan Jie or Long Hang either; he was kept in the dark.

But there's nothing he can do; the resources he can access for this kind of case are extremely limited, so he can only follow along step by step.

“Captain Zheng, you’re like a brother to me.” Li Fengmao held a game controller, with a takeout hamburger next to him.

Zheng Tianming disliked his excessive talking, so he bought him a game console to play at the hotel to stop his endless chatter.

The small tour group spends their days eating, drinking, and having fun.

“...”

Sorel, inside the magnificent castle, is extremely extravagant. A dozen small figures move among the crowd, carrying expensive red wines. The little boy is only wearing a red bow tie and is about seven or eight years old.

They had different skin tones, some with long hair and some with curly hair, and some were girls wearing little skirts. Their eyes were dull, like flowers that had lost their vitality; although they were blooming, their roots had long since died.

The people in positions of power held wine glasses and chatted about the recent economic situation. Strangely enough, there were not only men present, but also some wealthy women dressed in elegant and luxurious gowns, with faint smiles on their lips.

One of the boys, with fair skin, double eyelids, and jet-black hair, was one of the oldest here, already ten years old.

"Mi, come here." A man who looked to be around thirty years old beckoned to the little boy.

The little boy heard someone calling and ran over quickly, a fawning smile on his delicate face: "Good evening, Mr. Rhodes."

The man standing to the side had a deep smile on his face, clearly very pleased with the little boy named "Mi".

Rod took out a card and placed it on the wine tray. The little boy bent down and was then led away by the woman.

About half an hour later, the little boy was rinsing his mouth on the toilet, tears streaming down his face. He wanted to go home.

He's already ten years old this year. In two more years, he'll have to give more than just his mouth. He doesn't want to, he doesn't like men.

The man sat on the edge of the bed smoking. Hearing the retching sound, he was slightly annoyed. After the little boy came out, he took out his belt.

Screams of agony echoed from the room, yet passersby continued to laugh, even as if it were something to be happy about...

When the little boy came out, his whole body was covered in bloodstains, but his face was still flawless.

"Brother Mi!" A little girl in a pretty floral dress ran over.

The little boy smiled and reached out to touch the little girl's head: "Wei, I'm fine, don't worry, we will definitely get out of here."

The little girl had her head down. On her way home, she met a very pretty lady who asked her for directions. The two walked and chatted, and when she woke up, she found herself here.

Some of them had blond hair, some had brown hair, some had big noses, and some had dark skin, but she couldn't understand a word they were saying.

At first, she made a scene wanting to go home, which resulted in a severe beating. After that, she was too scared to continue...

The little boy went back to his room, put the cards away, and then skillfully took out the first-aid kit and applied medicine to himself. He already had ten cards, which could be redeemed for a chance to go out and play.

But he didn't have any clothes yet, so he needed to deposit two more cards. Before he knew it, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept when he turned around and noticed the curtains moving, so he cautiously curled up into a ball.

"Don't be afraid," a gentle female voice rang out. She was still wearing a maid's uniform, and her nose and face were covered with freckles.

The little boy looked at her warily: "You?"

She was speaking Mandarin from country A. There are other people speaking Mandarin here, but they all have heavy accents, and sometimes he can't understand them.

The woman approached the little boy and said, "Excuse me, I went to the wrong room. I lost something very important today. Could you help me find it?"

The little boy frowned; here, he trusted no one except Wei.

"Maybe it fell outside, can you help me?" The woman said, tears falling down her face. "It was left to me by my mother."

Although he himself was not doing well, he was still swayed when he heard the woman crying and saying that it was something her mother had left her.

The two climbed out of the window. There was a dance party today that would last until very late, and there were hardly any people at the back of the castle.

Just then, the woman covered the little boy's mouth and nose, then took out a large garbage bag and put him inside.

Why--

Kindness can sometimes be fatal.

The little boy didn't wake up until the next day when he was thrown into a garbage truck.

He woke up in the stench-filled garbage truck, and soon after, the truck stopped by the roadside.

A dark-skinned man wearing jeans got off the bus, found a numbered bag, and took the boy out.

"Hello, my name is Long Hang." He said, showing his identification.

The little boy sat blankly on the pile of garbage, enduring the stench, when he suddenly burst into tears, which fell like raindrops.

After four long years, he was finally able to go home; someone had come to pick him up!

Long Hang called Zheng Tianming: "[Team Leader Zheng, we've found the oldest boy and managed to get him out.]"

Why go to such lengths, even resorting to drugging them to bring them out? Because these children have been inside for too long. When strangers offer to take them away, their instinct is to scream and shout, fearing they'll be taken away by even worse people...

Zheng Tianming, who had just finished doing push-ups, said: "Talk to him and find out what's going on, then send him back to China."

Long Hang felt that the operation had gone too smoothly. Not only had he easily infiltrated the castle, but he had also managed to get a child out of there so easily.

The little boy cried very sadly, but what he didn't know was that the chip embedded in his lower back was emitting a faint red light.

Long Hang turned his head and saw it right then and there, and his scalp tingled instantly!

No wonder they were able to do it so easily; they weren't worried about these children getting lost at all, since chips had been implanted in their flesh. As for the effects, he wasn't sure yet; they might explode within a certain range if things went wrong.

Otherwise, the red light wouldn't be flashing.

Long Hang slowly reversed the car, his eyes occasionally glancing at the little boy's lower back. Sure enough, the red light gradually turned green...

This thing has a certain range.

Upon receiving this news, Zheng Tianming immediately contacted Pei Kaixin, as this was the first time he had ever seen a chip implanted in a human body.

Generally, it's either pasted on the skin or carried on the body...

The little boy looked at Long Hang in panic: "No, we can't back down anymore." He had no idea what was behind him, because he had never left in all these years.

Long Hang cursed. He dared not gamble. If it was just tracking and positioning, that would be fine, but if it exploded when the distance was too great, he would be finished.

"Are you afraid of pain?" Long Hang asked, pulling out a dagger. He had no other choice.

The little boy shook his head. He had shouted desperately in the room, but it was only to make people "have fun." Otherwise, he would have been beaten even more.

Long Hang broke out in a cold sweat. No one knew how deeply the chip was embedded, but sending the person back now would only make things more dangerous.

“Perhaps you will die here.” Long Hang said, looking at the little boy and telling him that a chip had been implanted in his lower back.

He slowly moved closer to Long Hang, saying, "I'm not afraid of pain." He wanted to leave this place and go back to his mother.

The moment the knife pierced him, he felt his heart bleeding, and his eyes reddened...

The little boy was trembling all over from the pain. He covered his mouth tightly, he couldn't shout, he couldn't scream, he couldn't go back.

Otherwise, we can only wait to die.

The chip is specially treated, much like a rhinoplasty. If done well, it won't cause a rejection reaction, but it also won't grow into the surrounding tissue.

He quickly extracted the chip; luckily, he had previously removed a bullet and was fast enough...

But the little boy still fainted from the pain. During this time, he was in so much pain that he collapsed, but he didn't utter a single cry of pain.

Long Hang placed the chip where it was, then drove the little boy straight to the hospital.

Zheng Tianming did not take any action after receiving the news.

Pei Kaixin sent the information to Zheng Tianming: "Luckily you discovered it in time, otherwise it would have exploded in another hundred meters."

All the children who ran away from the castle...

Imagine, they were full of expectations and longing for a new life, but they had only been out for a short time when the chips in their bodies exploded. What were they thinking before they died?

Liang Dawei sat on the bed and cursed the ancestors of these people for eighteen generations. Just thinking about how his child was treated like this, even though he had never been a father, he felt like killing someone.
