Yu Junsheng was reborn and realized he was a stepping stone that glowed...
Chapter 132 Rescue!
In a suburban house.
After Zheng Haihua betrayed him, the boy was unsurprisingly beaten by the man, and his hands and feet were tied up again. To prevent him from escaping again, the man specially used an extra hemp rope to tightly wrap around him, leaving no gaps.
The boy fainted on the spot, and soon developed a high fever. His cheeks turned red, and his hands became congested and turned purple. He looked like he was on the verge of death.
The other children looked at him with concern, but dared not say anything.
Zheng Haihua, on the other hand, got the big white steamed bun she had been longing for, and also received a few words of praise from the man who thought she had a promising future.
Zheng Haihua took a big bite of the steamed bun, eating with great satisfaction, without feeling the slightest remorse for betraying a child.
Serves him right for not untying himself!
He can't escape, so why should he be able to? He's doing it on purpose!
Noticing the way the children around him were looking at him, Zheng Haihua was very smug. "What are you looking at? I won't give you any! Humph!"
Zheng Haihua didn't see that the other children's eyes weren't filled with envy, but with fierce hatred.
In the children's eyes, the older brother could have taken them away, but this bad guy betrayed them because of a steamed bun. Now the older brother is dying, and they can't escape either.
This wicked thing is the reason they're ruined!
At this point, the boy had a high fever, his lips were peeling, and he started talking nonsense.
Some of the timid children were so frightened by his appearance that they started to cry.
"Waaaaah, brother, don't die, waaaaah..."
"Waaaaah, brother, please wake up and take us away, I don't want to stay here..."
The cries rose and fell, making the listener feel irritated.
"Don't cry!" Zheng Haihua couldn't take it anymore and cursed viciously.
"...Waaaaah...!"
Unfortunately, this wasn't his home, so no one listened to him, and the children cried even louder.
Zheng Haihua: "..."
Damn it, damn it!
These little brats are so damn annoying!
Before he could scare them any further,
Suddenly, several heavy thuds came from above the cellar, startling the children into silence, who stared warily toward the cellar entrance.
They didn't know what was happening up there, but they were instinctively afraid that the bad guys would come down and beat them again.
Zheng Haihua glared at the children, hoping that the bad guy would come down and beat them up so they wouldn't cry and bother people.
The cellar door suddenly opened, and a beam of light shone down from above. Instead of the tall, burly man from before, a policeman in uniform wearing a peaked cap appeared.
When the children saw the newcomers, they couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
"Police officer, police officer, are you here to save us? Waaaaah, that brother is dying, please save him!"
"That brother was beaten and has a fever. He's dying. Please save him..."
The police officer's expression turned serious. He greeted his colleagues behind him and immediately ran towards where the feverish boy was lying.
...
A young policeman carrying a delirious boy ran out of the cellar first, his expression tense. "Chief, this child's injuries are quite serious, he must be taken to the hospital immediately!"
When the police station chief took one look, he saw that the child was covered in bruises and wounds, his eyes were closed, and his cheeks were flushed. He clearly looked like he had a high fever. Without hesitation, he said, "Xiao Wu, hurry up, take the child to the hospital first. We'll go over after we've finished dealing with this place!"
"yes!"
Without delay, Officer Wu grabbed the child, grabbed his bicycle, tied the child with a jacket, and leaned him against his back before speeding off.
By the time the two policemen brought the children out of the cellar, the five or six human traffickers on the ground had either fled or been captured, leaving only a tall, burly man still stubbornly resisting inside the house.
No one expected that this person would suddenly rush towards the children who had just climbed out of the cellar. The children screamed in fright and hid behind the policeman in fear.
However, a few children exchanged glances, then joined forces and rammed into the man, sending Zheng Haihua, who was shrinking back, crashing into him.
Let him be malicious and harm that brother, let him be malicious and harm them!
The man felt relieved. Perfect, this kid was the most afraid of death, he would definitely cooperate with him.
Thinking this, he grabbed Zheng Haihua by the neck and pulled him close to him.
Zheng Haihua: "!!!"
He burst into tears, "Waaah, you're all bad people! You hit me on purpose! Waaah!"
"Don't cry!"
No one expected this turn of events to happen, and the police rushed forward.
The man held a knife to Zheng Haihua's neck, looked at the policeman in front of him, and threatened him fiercely, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill this child."
The police could only stop their actions and try to calmly reassure the child, saying, "Comrade, comrade, please don't get agitated. Don't hurt the child; the child is innocent!"
The man gave a sarcastic smile; this little brat was not innocent.
However, he didn't need to tell the police this, so he simply shouted, "Don't come any closer!"
With a forceful movement, a red mark immediately appeared on his neck.
"Let me go, or I'll kill this brat!"
The sharp pain startled Zheng Haihua, who immediately burst into tears, kicking and struggling wildly.
"Waaaaah... Don't kill me, don't kill me... Police officer, save me, save me!"
The man, with a fierce look on his face, impatiently pressed the knife harder and cursed, "Shut the hell up! If you cry again, I'll slash you to death!"
A sharp pain shot through Zheng Haihua's neck, and he suddenly remembered how viciously the man had hit him. He immediately shut his mouth, no longer daring to cry, and only sobbed softly.
"……belch……"
Seeing that the child was bleeding more from his neck, the police had no choice but to agree, "Okay, okay, we promise you, we promise you, please don't hurt the child!"
Seeing that the police had so easily agreed to his conditions, the trafficker became even more aggressive, saying, "Prepare a bicycle for me, and 1,000 yuan. Put the money on the bicycle, and park it at the intersection on the left. Don't get too close, or this kid won't get out of here alive!"
1,000 yuan is four or five years' salary for these people. This person is really asking for an exorbitant amount.
Some of the young men looked at the man with indignation.
The police station chief gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, but you must keep your word and release the child once you get the money!"
Suddenly, a strong smell of urine wafted over.
Man: "!!!"
I have a bad feeling.
Looking down, sure enough, it was that bastard who peed!
Damn it, this bastard not only peed on his own pants, but also wet his pants because of his posture.
He immediately cursed in disgust, "Fuck your mother, you're so disgusting!"
It was at this moment that a loud "bang" was heard.
The man fell to the ground, his eyes still wide open, as if he hadn't expected to be hit by a peanut.
It turns out that the police had pretended to agree to the man's request, but in reality, they had secretly ordered a sniper to prepare. Just then, Zheng Haihua wet his pants, and the man looked down to check, taking the opportunity to kill him with a single peanut.
"Waaaaah..."
Zheng Haihua, who was being held between his legs, also fell to the ground and burst into tears.
A young policeman quickly went over, picked the person up, and then, unexpectedly, smelled an indescribable odor.
"Oh my god! What's that smell?!"
Then, with lightning speed, they put the child down.
Zheng Haihua lost her balance and fell again.
Zheng Haihua: "..."
He cried even louder.
"Waaaaah..."
The police officers exchanged awkward glances. Who should go up and hug the child?
...
Just before New Year's Eve, Zheng Haihua was found and brought back. His neck was wrapped in gauze, his face was thin from hunger, his complexion was sallow, and he looked listless. Chang Dafeng felt extremely sorry for him.
She hugged Zheng Haihua and started wailing, "My son, my son, you're finally back! You scared your mother to death! What would I have done if you hadn't disappeared! You naughty child!"
The elderly mother, who had been longing for her child, finally saw her abducted child return home, and the two embraced and wept bitterly.
This scene brought tears to many people's eyes, and some with shallow tear ducts even turned their heads to wipe the corners of their eyes.
The people in the courtyard also sighed. Although they didn't particularly like the child, they had watched him grow up since he was a child, so naturally they didn't want anything to happen to him.
Xu Dongliang and Dong Siwei also rushed over like flies to claim credit, clearly believing that the police finding the human traffickers so quickly was all their doing.
Dong Siwei looked at Chang Dafeng with slightly red eyes, "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright, Auntie. I knew it! Haihua is a lucky child, and with Dongliang's help, he'll definitely be fine!"
"Look, it's only been a few days and the police have already rescued Haihua."
This means that the police were so dedicated because Xu Dongliang put in a good word for them; otherwise, they might not have been able to find the child so quickly.
Zheng Haiyang and Chang Dafeng both nodded in agreement, "Thanks to you both, Siwei and Dongliang, if it weren't for you, Haihua might never have been found!"
The police officers who worked tirelessly and devoted themselves to finding the child were speechless. What a huge burden!
Regardless of what Zheng Haiyang and Chang Dafeng thought in their hearts, they were genuinely very grateful to the two of them.
Chang Dafeng went even further, saying, "My dear girl, from now on you will be my goddaughter. If you don't mind, call me godmother. Come visit us often!" Chang Dafeng had said this before, but she didn't mention it at all after Zheng Haicheng's verdict. Now she has seen that Dong Siwei is useful again and brought it up again.
Dong Siwei's eyes lit up. Sure enough, she had made the right move!
He immediately grasped Chang Dafeng's hands in return and called out in a clear voice, "Godmother! What are you saying? How could I possibly dislike you!"
The newly-born mother and daughter immediately became affectionate, as if they had never been scratched by Chang Dafeng's Nine Yin White Bone Claw.
Chang Dafeng naturally had her own ulterior motives for saying that.
Putting aside the fact that Xu Dongliang can command the police, and how powerful his connections must be, associating with him would only bring benefits to our family.
Take Dong Siwei for example. Ever since Chang Dafeng found out that Dong Siwei had feelings for her eldest son, she had made inquiries openly and secretly. She found out that the girl's father was the director of a food factory and that she only had one younger brother. In the future, wouldn't everything in the family go to the two siblings?
If the eldest son can be with this girl, wouldn't the Dong family's things become his own?
Anyway, no matter how you look at it, Chang Dafeng felt that this girl was much better than that little slut Jiang Qiubai.
The family wasted 200 yuan on a dowry to marry Jiang Qiubai, and they didn't even get a job. Not to mention, how much of their family's wealth has been squandered since that little slut married into the family?
Chang Dafeng gritted her teeth just thinking about it.
Bah! He's a jinx!
It's perfect to have someone else!
...
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng were also watching the excitement from the sidelines. Although they didn't like Zheng Haihua, Cheng Jiajia was still happy to see him return safely, because it also meant that the other children had been rescued.
However, Cheng Jiajia neither confirmed nor denied Dong Siwei and Xu Dongliang's boast that they had put in a good word for the police and that's why the child was rescued so quickly.
Neither of these groups are good people; it'll be quite a show when they get together.
She was waiting to see the show. If Xu Dongliang and his companion were exposed, how could they all stay together?
She can't be so unkind.
Yu Junsheng was furious. "Wife, it was clearly... the police who found these children so quickly. Those two are shameless, always trying to make themselves look good!"
Cheng Jiajia blinked. "Maybe they really found the child because someone put in a good word for them!"
Anyway, Cheng Jiajia would never admit to having anything to do with him in public, no matter what.
Who knows if all the human traffickers have been caught? What if one or two escaped? Wouldn't they come looking for revenge?
She doesn't want to be targeted!
Yu Junsheng was taken aback, but quickly understood what his wife meant. He immediately followed her words and said, "It's true. If it weren't for your stepsister and her fiancé, the police might not have been able to find the human traffickers' hideout so quickly. They really did a great thing!"
Aunt Cao, who was standing nearby, only heard half of it, but she immediately nodded and agreed wholeheartedly. "You know what, Xiao Cheng, although your stepsister doesn't seem like a very good person, she actually did a good deed this time! Did I misjudge her before? No, I have to go and chat with my old friends and help her clear her name!"
Cheng Jiajia and Yu Junsheng exchanged a glance and both revealed a mischievous smile.
...
The other children have been sent home, but the boy who was beaten is in critical condition and was rushed to the emergency room as soon as he entered the hospital.
The boy's father worked for the municipal government after leaving the military. He also received military training from a young age, which is why he was able to quickly calm down and save himself when faced with danger. Unfortunately, he was too young to understand the wickedness of people's hearts in this world.
By the time the police notified the boy's parents to come, the boy's surgery was already over. Although his life was no longer in danger, the boy had suffered a great deal.
When the doctor said that if the child had been brought in even a little later, his hand might have been ruined, the father almost burst into tears.
The father was also quick-witted. Seeing that the other children were not injured, but only his own child was so badly hurt, he asked the police about the situation at the time.
The police officer hesitated for a moment, but still told him what they knew.
Afterwards, the police took the children to the hospital for a simple check-up. Once they confirmed that the children had no major health problems except for being hungry, they took statements from each of them.
So the police learned that the boy had been beaten so badly because of Zheng Haihua's betrayal, and they all felt a pang of regret.
Upon learning that his child had been beaten so badly because one of the children had betrayed him, the father clenched his fists in anger.
The mother became even more furious and started cursing.
As adults, they naturally shouldn't argue with a child, lest they be accused of being petty.
But it's impossible to make them swallow this insult!
Since we can't touch the child, let's touch the adults in his family instead, since the child's bad behavior is also caused by the adults' upbringing.
The child's father immediately went to investigate the Zheng family's background, refusing to believe that such a family could have done nothing wrong.
As it turned out, they were surprised to find out what happened when they investigated. The family just sneered.
The Zheng family is a real mess; they have all the reasons ready, so they don't need to bother coming up with any.
