"Captain Hong has excellent marksmanship," Song Yueying praised without reservation.

The tense atmosphere dissipated considerably after her words. Captain Hong, who was standing nearby, glanced at Song Yueying, then quickly jumped down from the wall and pounced on Xiao Wu, who was picking up a gun.

"Ouch!" Seeing the gun that was about to be in his hands slip away, Xiao Wu couldn't help but curse, "Damn it, I'll fight you to the death today."

He straightened up and slammed his fist down towards Captain Hong.

Captain Hong snorted coldly, easily dodging the incoming fist, and then kicked Xiao Wu to the ground with a spinning kick.

He tried to pick up the gun, but failed. He tried to shoot, but missed. He also got kicked, and when he hit the ground, he bumped his injured hand, causing Xiao Wu to almost faint from the pain.

Captain Hong subdued Xiao Wu in a few swift movements, pinning his hands behind his back and putting the silver bracelets on his wrists. "Is that all you've got? You think you can fight me to the death? You're overestimating yourself."

After saying that, Captain Hong gave Xiao Wu a disgusted look, walked to the courtyard gate and opened it.

Several police officers rushed into the courtyard. At Captain Hong's command, the officers scattered to search the area.

Aunt Xu trembled with fear, desperately trying to minimize her presence. She knew that if she were arrested, not only would she be finished, but her son and daughters-in-law would be too.

Therefore, she cannot be arrested, she absolutely cannot be taken to the police station.

Taking advantage of the fact that the police weren't paying attention to her, Aunt Xu quietly moved towards the courtyard gate.

"Aunt Xu, where are you going?" a clear voice asked.

Aunt Xu froze on the spot as if struck by lightning. She forced herself to raise her head and look at Song Yueying sitting on the wall.

In an instant, an idea came to mind.

Aunt Xu forced a gentle smile. "Girl, what a question you ask. I've successfully completed my mission by bringing you and the police officers here."

“There’s nothing for me to do now, so I’m going home first. Girl, you know I have a little granddaughter at home who needs to be taken care of.”

“If Auntie doesn’t go back soon, my little granddaughter will be left without anyone to take care of her and she will definitely cry and fuss.”

As if thinking of her poor little granddaughter, tears streamed down Aunt Xu's face as she spoke.

Playing the victim and feigning helplessness is the only way Granny Xu can think of to escape. After all, only that brat knows what she did; the police don't.

As long as that brat doesn't betray her, the police won't arrest her.

Song Yueying watched Xu Da Niang's performance with amusement, inwardly marveling at how far she could see from her vantage point. Otherwise, she wouldn't have noticed Xu Da Niang's attempt to escape quietly.

Having seen enough, Song Yueying slowly uttered two words: "It's too late."

"It's late? What's late?" Aunt Xu thought to herself and asked aloud.

When the silver bracelets were on her wrists, Aunt Xu immediately realized it was too late. But she refused to admit defeat, she couldn't admit defeat, and she certainly couldn't let herself be arrested and taken to the police station.

Grandma Xu glared angrily at the policeman who put the silver bracelet on her wrist. "What are you doing? Why are you putting this thing on me? Take it off, take it off right now!"

“I brought you here so you could catch the human traffickers. Instead of thanking me, you treat me like a human trafficker. You’ve gone too far.”

"I...we didn't," the police officer stammered in his reply. It was probably the first time he'd encountered such a shameless and brazen old woman.

Song Yueying and Captain Hong were also disgusted by what Aunt Xu said.

Especially Song Yueying, Xu Da Niang's words were completely in line with her own.

If Captain Hong and the police officers hadn't appeared outside the courtyard the moment Xiao Wu closed the gate...

If Aunt Xu and Xiao Wu were plotting something, they wouldn't have overheard. But now that Aunt Xu says she led the way, they're sure to believe her.

Not only will they believe it, they might even praise and reward Aunt Xu.

Captain Hong could think of everything that Song Yueying could think of, but he thought further ahead than Song Yueying.

This time, Aunt Xu escaped. Next time they receive a report of someone being abducted, they will immediately rule out Aunt Xu as a suspect.

After all, no one would believe that the person who led the police to arrest the human traffickers was also a human trafficker. Even less would anyone imagine that human traffickers would dare to commit crimes right under the noses of the police.

That would have unimaginable consequences.

“You have them.” Aunt Xu raised her hands, looking aggrieved and sad, and said, “You put this thing on me without even asking what happened, and that’s proof.”

"Why did I put this thing on you, Aunt Xu? Don't you know why?" Song Yueying sneered.

Xu Da Niang couldn't refute Song Yueying's words and felt guilty. The hatred in her eyes was almost tangible, and she mentally cursed Song Yueying and her family.

Ignoring the murderous glare from Granny Xu, Song Yueying initially intended to jump off the wall. However, remembering the effort she had put into climbing up, she decisively gave up.

Sigh, my body is still too weak!

The police who conducted the search returned and reported that they had not found anyone.

"No one was found. Did you search thoroughly?" Captain Hong asked, frowning. They had overheard Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu talking outside the courtyard about a shipment being delivered that evening.

According to human traffickers, the "goods" are people they have swindled and deceived, mostly young women and children.

Once a person is sent away, the chances of finding them are very slim.

Captain Hong paced back and forth anxiously.

The police officers understood this and were also anxious. "We searched carefully, but there was no one there."

Without finding the person, there was no evidence to convict Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu. Captain Hong was unwilling to give up; Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu were undoubtedly human traffickers.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence.

Upon hearing from the police that they hadn't found anyone, both Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu showed expressions of relief.

Suddenly, Captain Hong remembered the person who reported the case, stopped to look for Song Yueying, and saw her still sitting on the wall.

"Comrade Song, you can come down now," Captain Hong said.

Song Yueying pouted and said honestly, "I can't get down."

Captain Hong and the police officers were taken aback; they had witnessed her climbing the wall. The fact that she couldn't come down was a completely unexpected answer.

Having already lost face, Song Yueying, with a "what the hell" attitude, asked, "Captain Hong, could one of you please bring me a ladder?"

Captain Hong gave his subordinates a wink, and one of them turned and left, soon returning with a ladder.

Song Yueying slowly climbed down the ladder from the wall.

"Comrade Song, my men have searched this yard thoroughly, but they haven't found anyone. In your opinion, is it possible that the person is hiding somewhere else?" Captain Hong asked impatiently.

“It’s not impossible.” As Song Yueying said this, her gaze fell on Xiao Wu and Aunt Xu’s faces.

The two of them didn't show much change in expression, only their eyes flickered.

Song Yueying sneered and said to Captain Hong, "It doesn't matter if we didn't find them the first time, we can search again. They're definitely in this yard."
