Wu Guozhu let out a scream as blood streamed down his forehead.
"What are you doing?" Seeing this, Wu Guodong couldn't sit still any longer and struggled desperately. "If you dare to commit torture without authorization, I'll sue you!"
Gu Tingzhi turned around, the dark muzzle of his gun pointed at Wu Guodong. "What? Don't you often do this kind of thing? Is it strange?"
The dark muzzle of the gun was incredibly intimidating to anyone. Wu Guodong swallowed hard. "I...I don't know anything. I've been staying in my room the whole time. You can ask the front desk at the guesthouse. I haven't gone anywhere."
Gu Tingzhi is very young, and Song Shiyan is too young. Wu Guodong has been around for so many years, so he has some discernment. He can tell at a glance that this is someone's second or third generation, and he's very arrogant.
When these kinds of people get arrogant, they act completely recklessly. Those with powerful backers usually have this kind of temper.
Therefore, at this moment, Wu Guodong decisively admitted defeat.
Song Shiyan was startled by Gu Tingzhi's actions. "Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, take it easy."
Gu Tingzhi put away his gun and said to Song Shiyan, "I'm handing the men over to you. Keep a close eye on these two and interrogate them thoroughly. There's definitely something wrong with them. They couldn't have just disposed of such beautiful girls; they've probably sold them. Their homes were robbed by bandits a few months ago, and now that it's the New Year, they need money to bribe officials. Check if they've received any money recently."
Gu Tingzhi leaned closer to Song Shiyan and whispered, "Don't forget the group of human traffickers we encountered in the mountains before. We haven't found the people behind them yet. These two are from Changning City. They're unfamiliar with this place, so how could they find a way to get rid of Yanyan so quickly? They might be experienced."
"I'm going to find someone, I'm leaving now!"
Reminded of this, Song Shiyan's expression turned serious, and he immediately became solemn. Looking at Wu Guozhu and Wu Guodong's faces, he felt completely different.
They immediately ordered men to arrest Wu Guozhu and Wu Guodong and take them back to the police station.
After leaving, Gu Tingzhi drove directly to the Banqiao Brigade. He knew that some of what Wu Guozhu said was true. The other party knew that Meng Fuyan had someone protecting her, and that someone would definitely look for her if she went missing. All they hoped for was that they wouldn't be able to find her.
He knew that intersection. After driving there, Gu Tingzhi got out and checked it. There were indeed traces of a car passing by, and it was a truck that had left not long ago.
He hesitated for a few seconds, then drove to the Banqiao Brigade first. Xu Jing and the others were already waiting with their things packed. They got in the car and went straight to the train station.
They were lucky; a train bound for Changning City would be passing through here soon, and they would be able to board in about ten minutes.
Meng Yunji stood there pitifully, clutching her small package, looking at Gu Tingzhi, "Brother Gu..."
Gu Tingzhi squatted down to look him in the eye and earnestly told him, "Don't be afraid. Changning City is where you grew up, and you're going to Uncle Lu's house. Your Uncle Lu will definitely take good care of you. Be a good boy and wait there. Brother Gu will definitely find your sister."
"Your sister is so smart and can fight, she won't be in any danger. When she comes back, Brother Gu will bring you back, okay?"
Meng Yunji's eyes were brimming with tears. He wanted to stay and wait for his sister to come back, but he also knew that he was too young and would be left unattended, and might even cause trouble. Going to Uncle Lu's house would at least be safe there.
"I understand, I will be good, you must find my sister."
"Okay!" Gu Tingzhi hugged his small body and whispered in his ear, "After you go back, stay at Uncle Lu's house. If anyone asks you why you went back, don't mention your sister. Otherwise, people will talk about her and say bad things. Just say that your sister had urgent business to attend to and that's why she sent you back for a while. You'll go to see your sister after the New Year."
"You need to hide your money and tickets well. It's best not to let anyone know you have money, understand?"
Gu Tingzhi gave Meng Yun a hundred yuan, which was all in small denominations. Fortunately, he was wearing many clothes in winter and hid it in several places, so it was not noticeable.
In this day and age, it's impossible for a child from an ordinary family to carry that much money, but Gu Tingzhi wasn't worried about Meng Yunji.
This little guy lost his mother early, and his older sister is quite wealthy, so he's been able to spend money on his own since he was very young, so there's no need to worry about that.
Meng Yunji nodded vigorously, "Yes! I know!"
So cute!
In his past life, he raised him like a son, and the more he looks at him, the more he likes him.
Gu Tingzhi rubbed Meng Yunji's head. "Alright, Brother Gu is going now. You stay with Brother Li."
He glanced at Li Laosan and said, "It's up to you!"
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him."
After giving his instructions, Gu Tingzhi left with Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng before the train even arrived at the station.
The three got into the car, and Gu Tingzhi drove himself, heading north instead of towards the Banqiao Brigade.
Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng were sitting in the car when Xu Jing asked, "Boss, where are we going?"
"Go after those people."
"Do you know where they are? Did Wu Guozhu confess?"
Gu Tingzhi sneered, "How could he possibly confess? He just wants Yanyan to be taken away and disappear completely. He's Yanyan's father. If the family doesn't pursue the matter, who will care? As time goes on, naturally no one will care about her anymore."
Xu Jing asked in surprise, "Then how did you know where to look for it?"
Since everyone was brought along, and they were all his brothers, Gu Tingzhi decided not to hide anything.
“I’ve been investigating a human trafficking ring recently. We’ve never found the people behind the group we encountered in the mountains before. How could I let go of such a good opportunity to make a contribution? I’ve been investigating recently and have finally uncovered some clues. The criminal group behind these people is huge. They send people abroad, especially girls, who are basically sent to underground auction houses overseas.”
"Sending Yanyan abroad so she can never come back is the safest thing for Wu Guozhu. Recently, only that group of people have been active in this area, and there is a high possibility that Yanyan was taken away by them. Even if it wasn't them at first, she would probably end up in their hands anyway. This human trafficking group has a lot of influence here and is the most generous with money. Basically, all the small-scale human traffickers will cooperate with them."
"With Yan Yan's looks and her ability to speak foreign languages, she's most likely in their hands. As long as she doesn't cross the border, she's safe."
Xu Jing blinked, then suddenly realized what was going on.
"This...this...Boss, you're not planning to take the two of us to take down such a large criminal organization, are you?"
Isn't his life a life too?
