Within minutes, the sound of police sirens could be heard.
Xu Ping, who was in the restaurant, was the first to panic. "What's going on?"
The skinny man glanced at him calmly and said, "What are you panicking about? There's a police station in our town, we can hear that sound every day."
Xu Heng glared at Xu Ping, telling him to shut up.
All day long, he's afraid of this and that. Even catching Liu Aimei takes him months of procrastination. How can he accomplish anything significant? If it weren't for the fact that Xu Ping has a proper job and can help him collect supplies, Xu Heng would have stopped cooperating with Xu Ping long ago!
The horn blared louder and louder.
Xu Ping also felt uneasy.
Xu Heng had been delivering the goods before, and this was only the second time Xu Ping had come. The first time, there weren't so many things going on. Maybe people get more cautious as they get older.
Just as the skinny man was about to speak, three police cars suddenly pulled up outside the restaurant—
The skinny guy's face lit up with shock. "Holy crap! The police are here!"
Xu Heng's face darkened, but he immediately forced himself to remain calm and walked to the back.
Xu Ping's legs began to tremble and shake. "Officers, what brings you here?"
Without saying a word, Mo Hong, who was in charge, started to arrest the people.
Before the skinny guy could react, he was arrested. He yelled behind him, "Run! The police are coming!"
Seven or eight policemen arrested the people outside first, and then went inside; they were all carrying guns.
When Xu Heng arrived at the backyard, he was completely stunned by what he saw!
Several plainclothes officers had already tied up everyone in the back; none of them escaped. The only possibility was that they climbed in from the back of the restaurant!
"Behave yourself!"
A burly man with a dark face stood up and tried to headbutt the policeman, but the policeman braced himself with his elbow and pinned the man to the ground.
Everyone was taken into custody in the open space, while the remaining police continued to search every room, even the kitchen and outhouse.
Wang Ya and Song Anmin rushed over at this moment.
"Auntie—Officer Mo, there's another woman at the convenience store across the street, she's also one of their accomplices. Wang Ya found her, and she's already tied up!"
Wang Ya acted quickly and joined their search. Mo Hong patted Song Anmin on the shoulder, "You did a good job on the phone just now."
Song Anmin breathed a sigh of relief, "That scared me to death."
With so many people around, there wasn't much Song Anmin could do, so he just kept an eye on these criminals and counted them up—there were thirteen of them!
Even the cook and the dishwasher are in cahoots!
Xu Ping cursed as soon as he saw Song Anmin, "Damn it, I told you this guy was suspicious, but you guys wouldn't believe me!!! You're all fucking cops!"
Recently, police officers brandished batons and threatened, "Shut up!"
Xu Heng was also scared. Even the skinny man who had just said there was no problem with the siren was deathly pale. He stared at the policeman in front of him, his teeth trembling.
Mo Hong: "Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely. Where are your accomplices?"
Some of the thirteen people cried and some cursed, but none of them said a word.
All those who were arrested were brought out as well.
The small room, only seven or eight square meters, was packed with twelve women, ranging from little girls to middle-aged women. Liu Aimei was the third person arrested today, and there was another woman who was almost forty.
The women were so surprised that the police found them so quickly that they kept crying and saying thank you to the country and the police.
Liu Aimei had only been locked up for half an hour when she was suddenly brought back to light. She wanted to cry, but then she saw Song Anmin among a group of police officers.
"Song Anmin, what are you doing here?!"
Song Anmin sneered, staring at her: "What do you think?! If it weren't for me, you would have been sold long ago! Liu Aimei, you've finally gotten your comeuppance for being a bully in our family!"
Liu Aimei was rescued by Song Jianmin and Chen Zhou once before, and now she has been rescued by Song Anmin.
Liu Aimei was filled with complicated emotions. "How did you know I was here?"
"I saw you being tied up and put on the car with my own eyes!"
Xu Ping roared, "What's your relationship?!"
Liu Aimei rushed over and started hitting Xu Ping with both hands, yelling, "You beast! You dared to hit me just now? I'll beat you to death!"
The police couldn't stop her. Liu Aimei picked up a stick from the ground and smacked Xu Ping on the head with it!
The force was so great that everyone present was stunned.
Blood slowly flowed from Xu Ping's bald head.
The nearest police officer snatched the stick from Liu Aimei's hand and shouted, "Stop!"
Not satisfied with that, Liu Aimei slapped Xu Ping's face several more times, scratched his face and pinched his ears, leaving his face tattered and mangled, which stunned onlookers. Mo Hong tried to pull Liu Aimei away, but Liu Aimei kicked him again, this time directly in Xu Heng's eye.
Xu Heng let out a miserable scream, his voice shrill and piercing.
The arrested women were also eager to make their own move when they saw this. Mo Hong ordered the police to keep a close watch and then asked, "Who is Peng Li?"
Peng Li is the missing woman who was previously reported in the newspaper. She is petite, less than 150 cm tall. "I...I am Peng Li."
Peng Li's face was pale, she looked unwell, and her hair was a mess.
Peng Li was a female worker in the factory where Xu Ping used to work. She was aloof and kept to herself, which quickly caught Xu Ping's eye.
Mo Hong nodded and then asked about the addresses and locations where these people had disappeared.
Wang Ya and her team finished their search quickly.
Liu Aimei became familiar with Song Anmin while she was there. She stood next to Song Anmin and kept crying, saying that she had done wrong in the past, that this was not good and that was not good. She thought about it and realized that her family was not as good to her as her former husband's family.
Song Anmin didn't budge an inch. "You're just stubborn until you see the coffin. It's been so many years, it's too late for you to regret it now. Go back and cry to your father!"
Liu Aimei truly regretted it. She had been stubborn and refused to admit it before, and after following Tong Hongyun, she only had a little over a thousand yuan left of the money she had asked for. She hadn't taken any of the gold necklaces with her. This amount of money was about the same as her and Song Guomin's savings before. In the end, she had gained nothing.
Liu Aimei's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Xu Ping and his brother. Taking advantage of the police's inattention, she went up and slapped them a few more times!
"Where's my bankbook?! Where is my bankbook?!"
While hitting him, Liu Aimei groped Xu Ping's pocket.
Before carrying Liu Aimei away, Xu Ping also snatched Liu Aimei's bankbook and forced her to reveal the password.
Xu Ping kept yelling as he was being beaten, "Inside the car! Inside the van!"
Liu Aimei rushed out again, opened the car door, found the bankbook, stuffed it into her waistband, and became angrier and angrier. She even went to the kitchen and grabbed a knife.
The police officers waiting outside immediately stopped him and seized the knife.
"What are you doing?! If you hurt someone, you'll go to jail with them!"
Liu Aimei's voice was fierce, "I'm going to chop that bastard up!"
"Chop me up?! Do you have no respect for the law?! Who are we?! We are the police!"
Liu Aimei, her face dark, rushed back.
Everyone just heard what Liu Aimei said; Xu Ping is truly afraid of this woman.
Mo Hong stopped her, his face grim. "If you want to go to jail, you can continue."
Song Anmin couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Liu Aimei away.
"Liu Aimei, stop acting like a crazy woman! You're making me lose all face!"
