Chapter 248 Saving Li Wanqiu
How many reporters were waiting outside his house? Yue Ning said to him, "Come upstairs with me."
Yue Ning opened the door and Dahei was already waiting at the door, wagging his tail. Yue Ning rubbed its head and turned back to call Zhou Guohua: "Come in!"
Zhou Guohua was about to take off his shoes, but Yue Ning quickly said, "Just keep your shoes on."
Yue Ning motioned him to sit on the sofa. Zhou Guohua's body was still shaking uncontrollably when he sat down. The two bruises on his cheeks were shocking, and he was completely different from the sunny and energetic young man on the train.
Yue Ning handed him a bottle of water and asked softly, "What happened?"
As soon as Zhou Guohua opened his mouth, tears welled up in his eyes: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have coveted the money in Hong Kong City and brought Wanqiu to Hong Kong City, but in the end we were cheated..."
"Don't cry first, tell me slowly. What happened to you after you came here?" Yue Ning guided patiently.
Zhou Guohua calmed down, his chin still trembling: "My uncle is not a human being! He fell in love with Wanqiu. As soon as we arrived in Gangcheng, he asked me to wash dishes and arranged for Wanqiu to make fish balls at the stall. We remembered what you said and asked him when he would apply for the identity card. After a few days of delay, he suddenly came back and said that he had found a job opportunity for Wanqiu as a waitress and asked her to go for an interview. He also said that as long as she passed the interview and had a formal job, she could apply for the identity card. Wanqiu and I felt strange. Why did she have to go for an interview at eight o'clock in the evening? But Wanqiu went anyway. That night, she ran back crying and said that it was not a decent place at all. My uncle and two cousins followed, and when I was about to argue, they turned hostile. The father and his two sons tied up Wanqiu and beat me up. They forced Wanqiu to work in that kind of place and threatened that if she didn't go, they would beat me to death..."
"Where is Late Autumn now?"
"I'm still in their hands. I escaped by jumping out of the window. After I escaped, I wanted to call the police, but as soon as I entered the police station and told them that my girlfriend was locked up and asked for help, the police asked me for my ID, and I couldn't produce it, so they said I was an illegal immigrant and wanted to arrest me. I was worried that no one would save me if I was caught, so I had to escape again. On the way, I saw a newspaper with your photo on it." Zhou Guohua said, then he knelt on the ground with a plop and was about to kowtow to Yue Ning.
Yue Ning hurriedly stopped him: "What are you doing?"
"Ms. Yue, I know we only met once on the train, but I am really desperate. Please help me. Wanqiu is a very good girl. She..." Zhou Guohua fell to the ground without caring. "Please help call the police and save her!"
"Where exactly is Late Autumn?"
Zhou Guohua gave an address.
Yue Ning frowned: "Isn't that in Kowloon Walled City? The police never care about the affairs of Kowloon Walled City."
Zhou Guohua's last hope was shattered. He suddenly looked ashen and muttered to himself: "It was me who brought Wanqiu here. It was me who harmed her..."
"I'll take care of it." Yue Ning pulled him up and asked, "Where is she being held?"
"No, no! Miss Yue, we can't implicate you." Zhou Guohua shook his head repeatedly.
It turned out that after he saw the photo in the newspaper, he asked around and found out Yue Ning's identity in Hong Kong. He asked a passerby casually, and the other party told him: "This is the boss of Baohualou. Ningyan, the most famous restaurant in Hong Kong, is opened by her. You, Acan, don't even know this?"
He asked several more people and pieced together more information. Yue Ning was not only the owner of the restaurant, but also the future granddaughter-in-law of a big boss in Gangcheng.
When he escaped, he didn't bring the phone number that Yue Ning gave him, so he could only ask passers-by for the location of Baohua Building. When he arrived at Baohua Building, the staff said that Yue Ning was not there; he went to Ningyan again, and was also told that Yue Ning was not in Gangcheng. Just when he was desperate, he heard someone say that Yue Ning would not be back until the evening, and Uncle Hua asked her to go home and take Dahei out for a walk. So he followed a fat aunt to the bottom of a building and saw her coming out with a dog.
When the fat lady was chatting with someone, she mentioned again that Yue Ning would be back tonight. He then waited at the door of the building and finally waited for Yue Ning.
He originally thought that Yue Ning's special status might allow him to ask the police to rescue Wan Qiu, but he never thought of putting her in danger. Now that he was really desperate, he even made plans to go back and live and die with Wan Qiu.
"The police don't care, but I have friends in Kowloon Walled City and I can take care of this matter." Yue Ning said firmly.
Hope rekindled in Zhou Guohua's eyes and he stared at her closely.
Yue Ning asked: "Apart from the father and his two sons, are there any other people in their family?"
"There are also a few women who were deceived, as well as my uncle's two grandsons and one granddaughter." Zhou Guohua replied.
Yue Ning took out the phone book from the drawer and dialed the number: "Brother Long, this is Ningning!"
Immediately, Brother Long's loud voice came from the other end of the line: "Ningning! Why did you think of calling me?"
Previously, Yue Ning got to know Brother Long from Kowloon Walled City because she kicked a gangster's kidney and helped him with treatment. At that time, Brother Long said that as long as she had any problems, the brothers would definitely help her. On weekdays, when Brother Long and his friends came to Baohua Building for dinner, Yue Ning would occasionally go over to offer a cup of tea, so they maintained a good relationship.
"Do you know Zhou Afu?"
"Ningning, why are you asking about this old beast? He forced his two daughters-in-law to sell their bodies, and he also tricked two women from the mainland to do the flesh trade to support his entire family."
"He recently tricked one of my sisters from the mainland into coming here."
As soon as Yue Ning finished speaking, Brother Long immediately said, "I'll rescue them right away! Do you want to feed these three bastards to the fish or the dogs?"
"Brother Long, I want them to face legal sanctions."
Zhou Guohua was so anxious that he was sweating profusely: "Ms. Yue, the police don't care about this at all!"
Brother Long also said on the phone: "This is not my specialty."
"I know." Yue Ning responded, "Please help me confirm whether their family members are there, especially Zhou Afu. Be careful not to alert the enemy. Call me back immediately after confirmation. I'm here to save them."
Brother Long laughed heartily: "Ningning, do you really need to worry about such a small matter? I'll do it!"
"Brother Long, I'll handle it myself."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
After hanging up the phone, Yue Ning called the company again to ask them to send a car, and then contacted Cai Zhiyuan to ask him to arrange for a secret reporter to wait for her at the street corner.
Cai Zhiyuan kept asking on the phone: "What on earth are you going to do?"
Yue Ning said briefly: "Build momentum."
Just as I put down the phone, Brother Long called me: "Ningning, that old bastard and his two sons are at home. I saw the girl you mentioned. She is so beautiful."
Yue Ning was silent for a moment, and Brother Long immediately reacted and hurriedly explained: "I just said it casually, I didn't mean anything else!"
"I'll be there in about a quarter of an hour. Send someone to keep an eye on them and don't let any of them escape."
"Leave it to me!"
Yue Ning patted Dahei and said, "Let's go, Dahei."
Dahei followed with his tail wagging, and Zhou Guohua followed closely behind. When they went downstairs, the car from Baohua Building had been waiting for a long time. Yue Ning got in the car and reported the address.
"Ningning, it's almost nine o'clock. Are you going to Kowloon Walled City at this time?" the driver Uncle Gui asked worriedly.
"Well, just drive."
Since it was the boss's order, Uncle Gui had no choice but to start the car. After arriving at the destination, looking at the Kowloon Walled City that looked like a huge dark ant nest in front of him, Uncle Gui advised: "Ningning, you'd better not go."
"You should go back to Baohua Building. It's not safe here. When you get there, call Junxian and tell him that I came to Kowloon Walled City to rescue Li Wanqiu. Ask him to call the police." After saying that, Yue Ning got out of the car to take the dog, and Zhou Guohua also got out of the car.
Uncle Gui was stunned. She came here even though she knew it was dangerous?
"Let's go quickly, I have someone to pick me up." Yue Ning said, pointing at Brother Long who was walking towards them.
Uncle Gui thought that he couldn't persuade the young boss, so he decided to hurry back to Baohua Building to report to Uncle Hua.
"Ningning, those bastards are in the room!" Brother Long shouted.
Yue Ning ordered: "You guard the exit, Guohua, let's go in."
Zhou Guohua stopped and looked worried: "Ms. Yue, just the two of us?"
Yue Ning looked down at Dahei and said, "There's also this."
Dahei seemed to understand and raised his head to let out a low growl. Yue Ning urged, "Let's go!"
Zhou Guohua had no choice but to lead the way. Yue Ning asked as they walked, "How would one of the three of them compare with you in strength?"
"I'm not afraid of one of them alone, but the three of them...you're a girl..." Zhou Guohua looked her up and down.
"Don't worry, if I can't handle it, I'll ask Brother Long for help."
These words made Zhou Guohua feel a little more at ease.
As they entered the Kowloon Walled City, a damp, musty smell mixed with the fishy smell of sewers hit them in the face. Overhead, densely packed wires intertwined like a spider web, illegal iron roofs piled up one after another, and sewage dripped from time to time. In the shadow at the base of the wall, a woman in a tank top stared at them with a cigarette in her mouth, her eyes full of scrutiny.
Long Ge's men immediately shouted, "What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll dig out your eyeballs and fry them!"
The woman rolled her eyes. “How could a high-ranking young lady from Hong Kong City condescend to come to our gutter?”
Yue Ning ignored him and walked straight into the alley.
The alley was so narrow that only two people could walk side by side. Dahei's back rubbed against the wet brick wall, and he whimpered softly. Suddenly, there was a sound of broken porcelain in front of him, mixed with a man's curse: "Want to run? Want to call the police? This is not the mainland! The police don't care about things here, but they specialize in catching mainlanders without identity cards! He has no identity card, so if he returns to the mainland through the port, he will be arrested as a fugitive and wait to be shot!"
Then, the suppressed sobbing of a woman was heard.
"It's here!" Zhou Guohua suddenly lowered his voice and pointed to the wooden door in front that was covered by plastic sheeting.
Yue Ning pulled Dahei behind a stinking iron barrel and whispered, "Go knock on the door."
Zhou Guohua went forward and knocked on the door. The plastic door was opened and a man wearing a sweat vest and smoking a cigarette poked his head out. Seeing Zhou Guohua, he raised his hand and slapped him hard: "You dare to run? Where can you run to!"
Yue Ning loosened the dog leash in his hand and patted Dahei lightly. Dahei, who had been ready to go, pounced on the man like an arrow and bit his arm. The man screamed miserably, and someone in the house shouted, "Where did this mad dog come from!"
Yue Ning followed Da Hei and rushed to the door. The man struggled desperately, but he couldn't shake off Da Hei who was biting him tightly. Another man rushed out of the house and picked up a wooden chair to hit Da Hei. Yue Ning was quick and kicked him to the ground.
At this time, she saw Li Wanqiu tied up on a wooden chair, with rags stuffed in his mouth, his pants torn, and his calves covered with bruises.
Yue Ning turned her gaze to the old man holding the steel pipe. He obviously didn't expect to see her here, and his eyes were full of shock. This should be Zhou Afu.
"Take Wanqiu out." She turned and instructed Zhou Guohua.
Just as Zhou Guohua was about to rush towards Wanqiu, Zhou Afu stopped him with a steel pipe. Yue Ning was quick-witted and rushed forward to grab the steel pipe, pushed the old man to the ground, stepped on him, and pointed the steel pipe at the man who had just climbed up from the ground: "Don't move!"
The man had no choice but to squat on the ground and dared not move.
Zhou Guohua hurried forward to untie the rope on Wanqiu. At this moment, a young boy rushed out from the inner room waving a kitchen knife. Yue Ning threw out a steel pipe, knocking the kitchen knife to the ground, then grabbed the boy's collar and ordered Dahei, who had already bitten the man to blood, "Watch him!"
Dahei rushed over immediately, staring at the boy with his teeth bared. Although his mouth was covered with blood, he was very obedient. Yue Ning didn't let him bite, he was just intimidating him.
Looking at Wanqiu who was almost unable to stand, Yue Ning said, "Guohua, take her out and find someone to send her to Yangrong Hospital for examination and treatment."
Zhou Guohua supported Wanqiu and walked out. Zhou Afu's eldest son was kneeling on the ground, covered in blood, wailing. Zhou Afu rushed over and hugged his son, panicking. The boy was stared at by Dahei's fierce eyes, trembling and sticking to the wall. A foul smell came from him. The boy actually peed his pants.
There was a thump and a noise came from the room inside. Yue Ning looked inside and saw the man squatting on the ground behind her quietly reaching for the kitchen knife on the ground and standing up...
