This piece of paper recorded all the children she had participated in trafficking. Although some of the handwriting became blurred due to being in a humid environment for a long time, the police still unearthed a large trafficking industry chain from the only clues.
The director was very excited when he saw the familiar name above. He immediately organized police forces to investigate the address above.
Thanks to the efforts of many parties, many children who had been abducted for many years have been able to return to the arms of their families.
Zhang Fang also found her lost son from the welfare home. Fortunately, the welfare home never concealed his background, and he was well educated.
Based on conclusive evidence, Zhang Fang's husband was identified by the court as the party with serious fault. In order to reduce the punishment, he proposed to leave the house with nothing.
A year later, Jinlan and her accomplices were sentenced to death for child trafficking, and her husband and son, who knew about the crime but failed to report it, were each sentenced to five years in prison.
The son she had left behind with great difficulty had to be sent to an orphanage because no relatives were willing to take him in.
The child, who was already old enough to remember things, became silent after this incident. After her husband was released from prison, he did not want to take the child who had caused his imprisonment. After many unsuccessful mediations, the child had to continue living in the welfare home.
While Su Yan was broadcasting live, Director Jiang on the other side had already led his men to Lujia Village.
He saw an old man sitting at the entrance of the village playing chess. He straightened his clothes, walked up to him, and said politely, "Uncle, can I ask you about someone?"
The old man didn't look up, still fiddling with the chess pieces in his hand. "If you want to inquire about someone, go to the police station. We are old and a little hard of hearing, so I'm afraid we can't give you the information you want."
Director Jiang could only pull out his ID and say, "I'm a police officer. Just treat this as a routine inquiry."
"Then ask me, I'll try my best to know everything."
"Was there a person named Lu Tianyou in your village before? I want to ask him about his childhood."
The old man slammed his chess piece on the table: "What happened to Tianyou?"
"No, it's just that the suspect in a case might attack him. We're trying to find out if he has any enemies so we can take precautions in advance."
"Tianyou is also a poor man."
"We have relied on mining for generations. When Tianyou was two years old, his father was buried underground by a mine collapse, and his body was never found.
Because the person in charge of the mine ran away, their family only received a small amount of compensation, so little that it was not even enough for Tianyou to go to school.
The villagers felt sorry for the orphans and widows, and most of the time they would help them whenever they could. In this way, although they lived in poverty, Tianyou was able to receive an education like other children.
Who would have thought that Tianyou's supposedly happy campus life would plunge him into hell?
On campus, several strong boys with their school uniform trouser legs rolled up blocked Lu Tianyou's way.
"Lv Tianyou, I heard that you were ranked first in the school at the end of last semester and the school awarded you a large sum of money. It just so happens that our money has run out. You can lend the money to us, and we will protect you in school from now on."
Lu Tianyou held his trouser pocket tightly. The money inside was the money he was going to use to buy medicine for his mother, and he absolutely could not let anyone else take it.
"I'm sorry, I still need my money and can't lend it to you."
The leading boy's face changed. He seemed to see the mocking eyes behind him: "Lv Tianyou, don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. I lent you money to give you face. Otherwise, you, a bastard with a father but no father, have no right to speak to me.
I advise you to take out the money and give it to me as a filial piety. You will have a place to live in the school in the future. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you.
Lu Tianyou was very scared, but thinking of his mother's body tortured by illness, he mustered up the courage and said, "If you continue to talk nonsense, I will tell the principal, and the principal will definitely punish you."
Some of the words touched their funny bone, and several boys laughed so hard that they couldn't straighten their backs: "Good students, you are not mistaken, tell the principal, you still think this is a kindergarten, a place where teachers can support you when you cry.
I tell you, my father is the mayor. If you offend me today, I will make your family pay for it.
I remember your mother still relies on the subsidy from my father to survive. You said that if I go back and act like a spoiled child to my mother and say that you hit me, will my mother let my father listen to your subsidy?
After hearing what they said, Lu Tianyou struggled for a long time and took out the money in his pocket: "This was just distributed today, you can take it."
The boy looked at the fifty yuan sticking out of his pocket and asked, "Don't you have another one in your pocket? Do you want to hide it?"
"This is the money I earned from picking up trash some time ago. Mom needs to buy medicine for her illness. Just give it to me, okay?"
The boy smiled maliciously: "Your mother, that old widow who killed her husband, is worth your money to save? Give me all the money."
"I don't allow you to say that about my mother. You apologize to my mother now."
The continuous provocations made the boy feel humiliated. He threw away his schoolbag and beat Lu Tianyou severely despite his pleas for mercy.
Finally, he rode on Lu Tianyou and said, "I tell you, your mother is just an old widow. People in the village call her that. If you have the guts, go and settle the score with them.
Also, I took the money, if you have the guts, beat me down and take the money back."
After they left, Lu Tianyou struggled to get up from the ground. He wiped the marks on his body and tried his best not to let his mother know that he had been beaten.
But he ignored the bruises on his face, and as soon as he got home, his mother noticed something was wrong.
He Wenxiu looked at her son distressedly: "Tianyou. Is someone bullying you at school?"
Lu Tianyou wanted to force a smile, but the pain on his lips made him give up showing any expression: "Mom, it's okay, I accidentally fell while playing with my friends.
You know your son is such a good student, and the teachers and principal at school all think highly of me. How could I possibly let others bully me?"
Seeing her son's sincere eyes, although He Wenxiu felt that it was wrong, she still chose to believe what her son said.
Thinking of her current family situation, she carefully told her son, "Tianyou, I know you were very sad after your father passed away.
But we are an orphan and a widow, with no one to rely on. Try not to get into conflicts with your classmates at school. If anything happens to you again, Mom will really not be able to live."
Lu Tianyou's heart, which had been expecting his mother to comfort him, began to sink. He pretended to be strong and said, "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for you.
I will study hard and try to get you out of this quagmire as soon as possible."
In order not to worry his mother, Lu Tianyou became even more silent at school, which made the hooligans who originally wanted to bully him even more unscrupulous.
