Wang Xiaofa scratched at the door of the small house for a long time before finally opening it.
He immediately ran outside and saw people lying all over the ground, even that old guy Lao Gou hadn't escaped. He was overjoyed and ran to Xing Zhaozhao in a flash, patting her shoulders like a lackey: "Sister, you're amazing. You took down so many big men all by yourself. You must be exhausted. Come on, let me massage your shoulders."
The person next to him, who had accidentally gotten hurt and was grimacing in pain, looked speechlessly at the fawning Wang Xiaofa: "..." What do you mean by "one person"? They helped out and still got hurt. Can't they see what's going on with their eyes on their heads? Shouldn't they hurry up and come over to check on him?
Wang Xiaofa: "..." He couldn't see her; all he could see was his sister.
Of course, Xing Zhaozhao couldn't possibly take down so many big men by herself. Although she was strong, she only had two hands. Everyone else had helped as well. Except for Zheng Ping'an and Wang Dashuang, who had trained with Brother Fei and were in slightly better condition, everyone else had injuries on their faces. Even Xing Zhaozhao herself, while helping others mend their feet, was momentarily distracted and accidentally got hit on the face by someone's fist. She didn't know if it was bruised, but it hurt a bit when she pressed it.
Xing Zhaozhao slapped away Wang Xiaofa, the lackey who was getting in her way, and said, "Get out of the way, don't get in my way."
“Okay, sis, no problem, sis.” At this moment, Wang Xiaofa was obedient and sensible, and immediately took a big step back.
Zheng Ping'an and Wang Dashuang, who were often troubled by Wang Xiaofa's antics, were speechless.
The two quickly turned their heads away.
"What should we do with these people, Sister Xing?" Zheng Ping'an asked, looking at the people lying on the ground.
Xing Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "Send them all to the Public Security Brigade."
"I understand." Zheng Ping'an nodded and responded. He then called a few people, found some flatbed carts, threw everyone onto them, and hauled them away.
Xing Zhaozhao turned around and went into the small house next door.
Wang Xiaofa followed closely behind, and as soon as they entered the house, he immediately moved over the chair his brother usually sat in: "Sister, please sit down."
Then she poured some water over: "Sister, have some water."
Then, with a shameless grin, she asked, "Sister, are your legs sore? Do you want me to massage them for you?"
Xing Zhaozhao: "..." I wanted to kick him.
Wang Dashuang quickly pulled him away: "Just shut up, or your sister will kick you, you little brat."
Wang Xiaofa immediately calmed down. His sister had just kicked so many people; she was already exhausted enough. He didn't want to make her suffer any more.
Xing Zhaozhao rested for a while, drank a glass of water to moisten her throat, and then looked at Wang Dashuang seriously and asked, "What exactly happened to Brother Fei?"
Before Wang Dashuang could say anything, Wang Xiaofa eagerly raised his hand to answer, "I know." Then he pulled Sun Liang, who had been cowering to the side, over and made him recount the whole story.
Xing Zhaozhao's heart sank upon hearing this: "I knew this matter was inextricably linked to Ling Yongde."
"Did Fei get into trouble with Sun Liang?" Xing Zhaozhao asked, looking at Sun Liang.
Sun Liang nodded timidly.
With Xing Zhaozhao as his backer, Wang Xiaofa was full of confidence: "My brother is a lucky man, he'll definitely be fine, don't you think, sister?"
Xing Zhaozhao: "..." If it were just Fei Ge alone, it would be hard to say, but Ling Xiao is with him this time too... Ling Xiao died in his previous life, although not in the mountains, but he was definitely dead, which made her feel particularly uneasy.
Seeing that Xing Zhaozhao remained silent, Wang Xiaofa suddenly felt uneasy and began to panic. He asked again, "My brother will definitely be alright, right, sister?"
"Mmm." Xing Zhaozhao patted Wang Xiaofa's arm reassuringly.
Although it was just one word, it acted like a stabilizing force, instantly calming Wang Xiaofa's wavering emotions: "I knew it..."
Wang Dashuang knew that Xing Zhaozhao was also unaware of the situation and was only trying to comfort Wang Xiaofa. He glanced at Wang Xiaofa and tacitly refrained from exposing her true intentions. As long as he could keep this little rascal in line and prevent him from going crazy, that would be enough.
"What should we do now, Sister Xing?" Wang Dashuang asked Xing Zhaozhao. "Brother Fei doesn't know the situation yet. Although we've sent Lao Gou away for now, judging from Sun Liang's words, Ling Yongde probably won't let it go."
Xing Zhaozhao thought for a moment and said, "If Sun Liang heard correctly, Ling Yongde should be the one who escaped the net in the previous human trafficking case. He is an accomplice of those mountain people. Although that case has been closed, I believe the police who investigated that case will be interested in it."
“I happen to know a police officer who is investigating that case. I’ll find a way to contact him right away.” Xing Zhaozhao looked at Wang Dashuang and said, “Take a few people and go to Qingxi Town with Sun Liang. Don’t make a sound at first. After you see the police, take Sun Liang to see them. After they take action against Ling Yongde, try to find him on the mountain. Before that, don’t take any action rashly, so as not to alert Ling Yongde and let him escape.”
Wang Dashuang nodded solemnly, "I understand."
"Then I'll go first." After saying that, Xing Zhaozhao didn't linger any longer and quickly got up and left the black market to try to contact Zhang Gong'an.
Sun Liang said that the steep slope that Ling Xiao and Fei Ge fell down was very deep, and they were likely dead, but it was only a possibility. There might still be a glimmer of hope. Even if they were seriously injured, as long as they were quick, they might still be able to be saved.
After receiving Lao Gou's instructions, Awen went to wait outside the black market. Soon after, he saw Xing Zhaozhao coming out of the market in a hurry, and he immediately followed her cautiously.
As Xing Zhaozhao left the black market, she was preoccupied with figuring out how to contact Zhang Gong'an, completely unaware that a little tail was following her.
All told, Xing Zhaozhao had only met Officer Zhang once. Apart from knowing that his surname was Zhang, she knew nothing else about him. Even if she wanted to go there and ask Gao Mingcheng to help her find Officer Zhang's contact information, she probably wouldn't be able to find it in a short time.
After much deliberation, Xing Zhaozhao reluctantly thought of Chen Hao. Finding Officer Zhang as quickly as possible probably only depended on Chen Hao. It just so happened that Chen Hao had given her a phone number when they met before. Although she had thrown away the slip of paper with the number written on it, she had glanced at it when she received it and vaguely remembered some details.
Having made up her mind, Xing Zhaozhao immediately quickened her pace and went to the post office to make a phone call.
After several transfers, the call was quickly connected.
Xing Zhaozhao was on tenterhooks, worried that she might have remembered the wrong phone number. If she did, and couldn't find the person, it would be a real problem.
"Hello? Who are you?" A childish voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding somewhat familiar.
