The police officer reminded Xia Wan: "The people inside are very likely armed. Young man, you can't be so impulsive this time. Just follow us!"
Xia Wan nodded and smiled sweetly: "Okay, I won't cause any trouble for the police!"
The police officer glanced at him, probably believing what he said. Seeing that Xia Wan had really gone to the back, the lead officer waved to his colleagues, signaling them to break down the door.
The lookout outside had already been arrested, so no one warned the human traffickers in the yard, and the police simply barged in.
Before the people inside could react, they were surrounded by the police.
"Don't move!"
"Don't move!"
Having lived on the edge of life and death every day, some of them reacted quickly and began to resist a second before the police subdued them.
Of course, that person wasn't stupid; his so-called resistance was definitely not about confronting the enemy head-on, but rather preparing to run away.
Xia Wan happened to be standing at the door, so she blocked the way of the group and kicked them back one by one.
Fortunately, they didn't have time to take out their weapons before the police officers pinned them to the ground.
Amidst the chaos, before anyone could react, Xia Wan had already begun accumulating points.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Xia Wan made a round of every corner of the room. Whether the human traffickers were caught or not, none of them escaped her clutches.
They either kicked him or punched him; they didn't miss a single one, leaving the group of police officers dumbfounded.
"Stop, stop, Comrade Xia, what are you doing?" The older policeman stopped Xia Wan.
She smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, officer. I saw them trying to run away, so I couldn't help but come up to help."
At this moment, a young policeman brought over a box full of guns, knives, and clubs: "Team Leader Sun and his men did indeed have weapons, but they probably didn't expect us to come? The weapons were thrown in a corner."
Xia Wan gritted her teeth as she listened. If she had known these people were so useless, she would have been better off coming over herself to collect some points before reporting them to the police.
Who would have thought that these people wouldn't be carrying weapons?
"So it was you, you bitch! You dared to scheme against me!" The second brother's eyes widened as he looked at Xia Wan with hatred.
"You did bad things, are you afraid of retribution?" Xia Wan shrugged, glanced at him indifferently, and then turned to Officer Sun and said, "Officer, it's in that room. There should be a cellar. I saw them move all the children into that room."
Sun Gong'an waved in the direction he pointed, signaling the police officers he had brought to go and investigate.
Sure enough, not long after, many children and women were carried up from the cellar, but they had probably been given a heavy dose of sedatives and were still unconscious.
The police officer sighed as he looked at the scene before him. Human traffickers these days are really too rampant; they managed to abduct so many people right under their noses.
"Take everyone back. Put the unconscious people on the cart." Officer Sun pointed to the people on the ground, then said helplessly to Xia Wan, "Comrade Xia, you still have to come back to the police station with me to give a statement."
Xia Wan paused for a moment before speaking: "I'm afraid it's not possible yet. The female employee at the guesthouse, and her brother, are probably connected to these human traffickers. When I first thought of reporting them to the police at the guesthouse, the female employee even tried to protect them."
"Look at my memory, I almost forgot about those two." Officer Sun slapped his forehead and turned to his colleagues behind him, saying, "Xiao Huang, you take the men back first. Da Zi, come with me."
Xia Wan led two police officers toward the guesthouse where she was staying. Now that the human traffickers had been dealt with, it wasn't so tense to just arrest a waiter.
"Is Comrade Xia's father feeling any better?" Sun Gong'an asked on the way.
When Xia Wan gave her statement last time, she mentioned why she came to the county, so Officer Sun asked her about it.
Xia Wan thought for a moment before saying, "It should be in the next day or two. Once the doctor checks my dad's health and finds nothing wrong, we should go back."
"Sigh, it's not easy for anyone. Once we deliver the bonus and banner from above to you, your life in the village will be a little better."
Sun Gong'an only knew that Xia Wan was an educated youth sent to the countryside, and that her father was sick, which was why they came to the hospital. He thought that Xia Wan had been sent down from the city because of a family tragedy.
Xia Wan was unaware of his thoughts and was taken aback when she heard him say this: "Although my father is injured, the villagers are still very kind to us."
They entered the guesthouse, and it was already daylight. The waiter came out of the lounge.
When the waiter saw Xia Wan come in from outside, followed by two police officers, he turned pale with fright and his voice trembled.
"You...you...didn't you go upstairs?"
Xia Wan smiled at her, her face full of mischievous amusement: "After I went upstairs, I felt guilty and worried about disturbing your rest when I came downstairs, so I had no choice but to climb out of the window."
The waiter looked at her in disbelief: "Didn't you already take the money?"
Xia Wan looked completely innocent and confused: "What money? What are you talking about?"
"You took my brother's money! How can you deny it now?" The waiter was terrified and didn't care about the loopholes in his words.
Xia Wan chuckled lightly: "Shouldn't I pay you for staying at the guesthouse? Why should I charge you? Comrade, what are you talking about?"
The waiter seemed to misunderstand her words, thinking that she brought the police not to arrest her own brother.
He breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening somewhat: "Oh, right, I was just half asleep. Excuse me, comrade, may I ask what this is all about?"
Following behind, Officer Sun gave Xia Wan a meaningful look, then showed his identification to the waiter and said, "Hello comrade, we received a report that there was a thief in the guesthouse. We've come to get some information from you. Please come with us."
"No...no...there's no thief here! You must have misunderstood?" The waiter looked at Xia Wan incredulously: "Young man, please explain, there's no thief here."
Xia Wan shrugged: "I can't explain anything, I also need to go to the police station! Sorry, sister, so let's go together!"
Xia Wan grinned, showing off her bright white teeth, and looked quite happy: "Oh, right, and her younger brother too!"
Sun Gong'an nodded and then asked the waiter where his brother was, as he also needed to go to the police station with him.
Seeing the police's imposing presence, how could the waiter dare not tell the truth?
In the end, all I could do was tell them my home address and obediently follow the police away.
It was still early, so the waiter's departure went unnoticed by anyone else; only the junior manager of the guesthouse knew about it.
