Save people
"For fifteen years, our Shen family has mobilized all the forces we could, turning the entire Great Xia Kingdom upside down, but we still don't have a single clue. No one is found alive, and no body is found dead."
"We did some research and found out that there was a group of human traffickers operating in Shangjing back then, but by the time we followed the clues, they were gone."
Shen Zhenhua's voice was filled with regret and self-blame, "We suspected that Wanxing was abducted by them, but fifteen years have passed and we can't find any evidence.
Wanxing is my heart disease and the pain of the entire Shen family. Yu Huan died of depression, leaving only Tinglan.
That's why I want to ask you to help us find her whereabouts, even if it's just... even if it's just a result."
The yard became quiet again, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Zhong Ling did not answer immediately. After a few seconds, she slowly spoke.
"Found it."
Shen Zhenhua's breath caught in his throat. He looked at Zhong Ling expectantly and asked excitedly, "Where... is she? Is she doing well?"
"Chen Wanxing was indeed abducted by a group of human traffickers fifteen years ago."
"After the traffickers succeeded, they took her and several other children away from Shangjing overnight. They sold her to a place called Niujia Village in Tonggu, Northern Province, for 10,000 yuan."
"Niujia Village?" Shen Zhenhua repeated the place name, obviously not knowing where it was.
"Niujia Village is located in Tonggu, Northern Province. It's very remote and can't be found on any map. She was sold to a family surnamed Zhang as a child bride for their then-13-year-old son."
"boom--"
The three words "child bride" exploded in Shen Zhenhua's mind like a bolt from the blue. The blood drained from his face and his body swayed. If Zhong Ling hadn't supported him in time, he would have collapsed to the ground.
"Child...child bride..." His lips trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, with raging anger in his eyes.
The little princess of the Shen family, who should have grown up surrounded by countless pampered children, was actually sold to a remote mountain village as a child bride?!
This is even harder to accept than telling them that Wanxing is dead!
"brute!"
The precious jewel that the Shen family holds in their hands has been treated so harshly!
Zhong Ling took in Shen Zhenhua's reaction, picked up the tea, took another sip, and then slowly put down the teacup.
"That village was very poor and ignorant. The family that bought her didn't treat her well."
not good?
These two words made Shen Zhenhua think of many horrifying images. What kind of life was Wan Xing leading in that man-eating ravine?!
Shen Zhenhua tried to calm down and asked, "What did they... do to her?"
"From the age of five, she had to wash clothes, cook, feed pigs and chop wood. Her hands and feet were covered with chilblains and calluses."
"She only went to elementary school."
"Being beaten was commonplace. The family that bought her would take it out on her whenever they were in a bad mood. And her so-called husband had been beating and scolding her since she was a child."
Every word Zhong Ling said hit Shen Zhenhua's heart, making him breathless.
"Beasts! A bunch of beasts!" Shen Zhenhua grabbed the mahogany crutch at hand and smashed it hard on the bluestone slab.
Then, Shen Zhenhua took out his cell phone from his inner pocket and made a call.
The call was connected almost instantly.
"It's me." Shen Zhenhua's voice was hoarse, "Yiran, put down everything you are doing and tell your uncle Tinglan that Wanxing has been found.
Yes, you and your uncle go get Dragon Scale and prepare a special plane. Immediately apply for a flight route. Destination: Niujia Village, Tonggu, Northern Province."
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then responded in a deep voice: "Yes, Grandpa, I'll do it right away."
"Dragon Scale" is the Shen family's most elite security force. All its members are retired special forces from various countries. They are only responsible for family security on weekdays, and there has never been a precedent of all members being dispatched.
Shen Zhenhua paused and said, "Use all our connections and resources to find this place called Niujia Village for me. There is no such place on the map."
Zhong Ling watched quietly from the side. She picked up the teacup and found that the tea had gone cold. She flicked it with her hand and the tea in the cup instantly began to steam again.
"He's very calm and composed, never panicking when faced with difficulties. It seems he inherited it from his eldest brother." This thought popped up in her mind.
Zhong Ling put down the teacup and tapped the table lightly with her fingertips, making a soft sound.
Shen Zhenhua looked at her respectfully.
"That village is very xenophobic, and the terrain is a bit complicated," Zhong Ling said calmly. "You went there with such fanfare, but the news arrived before you even showed up."
Shen Yichen was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was only thinking about finding Wanxing as soon as possible, but forgot that poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. If the other party got the news in advance and became desperate, then they would have to work harder.
"Then... Immortal Lord, what should we do?" Shen Zhenhua asked hurriedly.
Zhong Ling did not answer, but just looked at the jade pendant on the table. She stretched out her finger and lightly touched the jade pendant.
Buzz——
With a soft sound, the patterns inside the jade pendant seemed to come alive, flowing slowly and emitting a soft halo.
Zhong Ling pushed the jade pendant in front of Shen Zhenhua.
"Take it."
Shen Zhenhua held the jade pendant in his hand as he was told. A warm current spread through his palm and throughout his body. The anger in his heart miraculously subsided and his mind became clear.
"Once you're nearby, it will guide you to find Shen Wanxing." Zhong Ling said calmly, "Also, I've already placed a ban on that family."
"If they dare to raise a finger against Shen Wanxing, or have any inappropriate thoughts, they will experience what it means to be worse than death."
Shen Zhenhua's heart trembled, and when he looked at Zhong Ling again, the awe in his eyes deepened.
This is the method of immortals!
Decide life and death from thousands of miles away!
With this guarantee, Shen Zhenhua finally felt relieved.
He bowed deeply to Zhong Ling again: "Thank you, Immortal Lord, for your protection! The entire Shen family will never forget you!"
"Okay, go ahead." Zhong Ling waved her hand. "Bringing the person back safely is the most important thing."
"yes!"
Shen Zhenhua said no more, bowed deeply to Zhong Ling, and hurriedly left the courtyard. Outside the courtyard, Qiao Jianmin was waiting in the car.
The yard returned to peace again. Zhong Ling looked at the door with a helpless smile on her lips.
We had agreed to go on vacation, but now a group of cheap descendants who are more than ten generations apart have shown up.
That's really interesting.
…
In Tonggu, Northern Province, several black off-road vehicles are speeding on the highway.
In the middle car, Shen Yichen sat in the back seat with a laptop on his lap, and strings of encrypted data were scrolling on the screen.
That was all the information about Niujia Village transmitted by the Shen family's intelligence network, from its geographical location to its registered population, very detailed.
His face was as gloomy as water, and he occasionally raised his hand to swipe across the touchpad to give instructions.
Sitting next to him was Shen Tinglan.
