This is absolutely outrageous!
They never imagined that in a village where they lived, human trafficking was still going on, and that women were being treated this way.
It's supposed to be a new era now, but looking at this girl makes it seem like we've gone back to the feudal era. It's so pitiful.
The two police officers quickly untied the ropes binding Liu Meilan and escorted her inside.
Seeing that the police had really gotten involved, He Guangqiang's family, who had bought Liu Meilan into their home, immediately backed down.
He Guangqiang's eyes darted around, and he suddenly pushed Xie Mingzhu, who was trying to control him, away and ran away.
Police officer Sun Jin was the first to notice something was wrong and rushed over. He caught up with the person in a few steps, subdued him on the spot, and handcuffed him.
In just a few minutes, the police, together with Xie Mingzhu's family, Zhu Chunhong's family, and the rescued girls, rescued more than a dozen abducted women.
Many of the girls who were rescued first also rushed to provide clues, telling Xie Mingzhu and the police who else had been abducted and their approximate locations.
The police responded extremely quickly, not only rescuing everyone but also arresting the buyers as well.
Xie Mingzhu and the abducted girls worked together for nearly two hours, searching almost every household in the village.
They also rescued the girls who had been hidden in the back mountain beforehand. Only after confirming that there were no more victims were they finally able to stop and catch their breath.
Xie Mingzhu was covered in sweat. She leaned against the tree trunk, using her hands to support her knees and rest her legs. Just as she was about to raise her hand to wipe the sweat, a hand covered in tiny wounds handed her a handkerchief.
"Here, wipe your sweat."
Xie Mingzhu followed the hand and realized it was Liu Meilan, whom she had just rescued.
Liu Meilan looked at her savior with slightly red eyes and smiled gratefully at her.
"Girl, thank you so much. I was just abducted to this village today. The man tried to do...do that kind of thing to me as soon as he brought me into his house. I was already in despair, but luckily you arrived in time to rescue me."
"Thank you so much, you saved me—"
As Liu Meilan spoke, she became increasingly emotional and unsure how to express her gratitude. She ended up kneeling down before Xie Mingzhu and Huang Meiling, tears streaming down her face.
Xie Mingzhu was startled.
Huang Meiling herself has a daughter, and seeing the girl crying like this, she felt extremely sorry for her and quickly helped her up with Xie Mingzhong.
Huang Meiling patted Liu Meilan's hand, then turned to look at the other girls beside her, and softly comforted them.
"Don't worry, we're here to completely resolve these issues."
“We have reported these matters to the People’s Liberation Army and the Public Security Bureau. They will definitely help you find your family and send you home, and this will never happen again.”
"As for these troublemakers who treat people as commodities to be bought and sold at will, buying and selling are equally criminal. They have long been criminals just like those who trafficked you, and they will certainly receive the punishment they deserve."
“Go back and live your lives well. As for this matter, if you are not satisfied with the outcome, you can file a lawsuit directly.”
“Our family will see this matter through to the end. If you encounter any financial or other difficulties during the litigation process, please feel free to come to us.”
