Chapter 58 The sky is clear and I was caught
"Yes, that's it! Smash it, smash it hard." The middle-aged man watched Feng Le's actions excitedly, and his hand holding the knife relaxed unconsciously.
"Now." The SWAT officer, lying in ambush not far away, seized the opportunity and fired the crucial shot. With a loud bang, the bullet pierced the middle-aged man's knife-wielding hand and pierced the dilapidated wall of the old church.
"Ah——" a severe pain came.
The middle-aged man subconsciously let go of Zhu Xiaoxia and covered his injured right hand.
At this moment, the police ambushed outside the old church rushed forward. Their target was clear. One SWAT officer pulled Zhu Xiaoxia away, another subdued the middle-aged man, and another stopped Feng Le from throwing a brick...
Meanwhile, the adults in Zhangshu Lane were still searching for their children. Just as they remembered the old church and were about to come over to take a look, the police arrived at Zhangshu Lane.
Summer rain always comes quickly and goes away quickly. By evening, the sky has cleared up and the sunset glow fills the sky.
Xu Heye followed the anxious parents to the police station.
"Uncle policeman, what's going on? Why is our child here at the police station?" Middle-aged men and women in their thirties and forties pulled a young policeman who was only in his early twenties, calling out to him anxiously.
The young policeman felt helpless, but he could only patiently comfort these anxious parents.
"It's like this—" the young policeman briefly recounted what had happened. Everyone present looked at each other in bewilderment. No one had expected that in just a few hours, such a big thing would happen in the old church only a kilometer away from them.
After learning that the criminals had kidnapped his youngest son and threatened to harm his eldest son and several other children, Zhu Jianguo, the father of the Zhu Xiaohua and Zhu Xiaoxia brothers, ignored his own sons and asked about Lian Jiashu first: "Comrade, Lian's waiter, how is Lian Jiashu? Is his hand okay?"
The second son of the Lian family, an old neighbor living in the same alley, already has a mental disability. If something happens to his hand, the two families will become mortal enemies.
Xu Heye looked at Zhu Jianguo with a hint of surprise in her eyes.
When Zhu Jianguo heard that his youngest son was kidnapped, the first person he asked was Lian Jiashu.
Either he was too hard-hearted and cold-hearted and didn't care about his son at all, or he was a righteous man and didn't take advantage of his youngest son being held hostage to erase the harm the children had done to Lian Jiashu.
But thinking of Zhu Jianguo's anxious expression after he learned that his son was missing, Xu Heye felt that this person should be the latter.
After learning that the police arrived in time to rescue Lian Jiashu, Zhu Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. "My son, Zhu Xiaoxia, who was held hostage, how is he now?"
The young policeman looked at him in surprise, then said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu. Zhu Xiaoxia is not in danger of death. But—"
"But what?" Zhu Jianguo's heart tightened.
"But the child was injured. He had a scratch on his neck, but fortunately the wound was not deep. The problem is his face was slashed by the criminal, and the wound is quite deep." The skin and flesh were turned outward, looking hideous and terrifying, and I'm afraid it will leave a scar.
Zhu Jianguo naturally understood what the police hadn't said. A pang of pain pierced his heart, but he quickly recovered. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm glad I survived." Zhu Jianguo was a retired soldier with over a decade in the military. He had served in the army, had made contributions, and had also encountered many vicious individuals.
If the police had not discovered it in time, by the time they realized the child was missing, his youngest son and the waiter of the Lian family might have died, and they would have been brutally murdered.
Even if the remaining children survived, they were ruined.
Even a mentally strong soldier might suffer from stress syndrome after killing the enemy with his own hands, let alone these children who are only in their early teens.
That murderer is not only instigating murder, but also destroying the minds of these children.
"So where are my sons and the others now?"
"Zhu Xiaohua, Gu Yu, and the others are in the interrogation room taking statements. Zhu Xiaoxia and Lian Jiashu are being taken to the hospital for treatment, accompanied by other comrades."
Zhu Jianguo nodded and said, "Thank you, comrade. When can they go home?"
The young policeman said, "After you finish taking the statement, you can go home."
An hour later, the record was completed and the children came out of the interrogation room.
The extremely anxious and worried parents immediately pulled their children over, looked them up and down, left and right, and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the children were fine.
As I let go of my worries, anxious anger surged up.
"You little bastards, who told you to run around? Do you know that your parents almost lost sight of you?"
Chinese parents are most accustomed to expressing their nervousness and worries about their children by beating them, so this group of kids who had just escaped danger were quickly met with a combined double-handed attack of love from their parents.
"Dear parents, the children are frightened. Parents should care about them. It is wrong to beat or scold children." The young policeman was startled and hurriedly persuaded.
"Uncle police, don't worry. We know our limits and will hit them where the flesh is thick. These idiots deserve a beating. If we don't give them a good beating, they won't get through today."
The police station was in chaos, with the young police officer trying to persuade them, pulling this one out, but failing to persuade that one. Even more miraculous, the children, who had been so frightened at first, actually calmed down after their parents' joint efforts.
Half an hour later, the police station finally quieted down after the parents took their children away.
On the other side, Dong Fuyun finished taking his statement and came out of the interrogation room. The police officer in charge of taking the statement extended his hand to shake his hand, "Mr. Dong, thank you very much."
If Dong Fuyun had not discovered something was wrong and reported it to the police station in time, they would not have been able to capture Lu Yinsong in time and rescue the children.
"You are too polite. It is the duty of every citizen to call the police in time after discovering a criminal." Dong Fuyun spoke in official language, stretched out his hand with a big tattoo on his arm, and shook hands with the police.
The policeman held Dong Fuyun's hand and sighed inwardly, saying that one really can't judge a person by his appearance.
Who would have known that this young man, with a Azure Dragon on his left and a White Tiger on his right, who looked like a gangster, had actually helped the police catch major criminals several times.
After this incident, this young man’s family will probably have a few more banners commemorating his bravery.
"Uncle." Xu Heye called out.
"Lotus leaf."
After the uncle and nephew came out of the police station, Dong Fuyun carried the things and sent Xu Heye back to the rented house, and then talked about the cause and effect of the incident.
After the precedent of Lu Jun's family, Dong Fuyun and Lu Jun all believed in Xu Heye's "prophecy". During this period, they were busy setting up stalls, but they did not forget to pay attention to Zhangshu Lane.
With more attention, he knew exactly how many households there were in Zhangshu Lane, which family had elderly people, which family had children, and which relatives frequently visited each family.
Seeing the drastic change in the weather this time, Dong Fuyun was worried about a typhoon and could not go out for a few days. Xu Heye was short of food, so he quickly bought a lot of vegetables and fruits, intending to send them to his niece before the rain fell and the wind started.
After getting off the bus, the rain started to fall heavily. Before they even reached the alley entrance, they saw Lian Jiashu walking away with a middle-aged man they didn't recognize. Dong Fuyun felt something was wrong and, fearing they had encountered human traffickers, he quietly followed them.
Lian Jiashu might look tall, but his intelligence was barely above that of a first-grade student. If he were to encounter human traffickers, wouldn't he be easily scammed? Coupled with his niece's "prophecy," Dong Fuyun felt he should follow him and find out what was going on.
He thought that if he was wrong, it would just be a misunderstanding, and he would only waste some time. If he really encountered a bad guy, saving a life would be more valuable than building a seven-story pagoda.
Dong Fuyun followed them all the way to the old church and immediately felt something was wrong.
What kind person would bring his child to such a shabby place?
Sure enough, the next thing he saw was the strange man holding Zhu Xiaoxia hostage and threatening the children to harm Lian Jiashu.
The strange man was very cautious, worried that he would be attacked if he had his back to the door. After holding Zhu Xiaoxia hostage, he immediately changed direction and walked into the old church, facing the gate.
Dong Fuyun knew he couldn't handle this on his own, so he made a quick decision, dropped his belongings, and ran to the nearest police station to report the case and seek professional help.
