After Lu Yuan secretly inspected Lijia Gou and the ancient tomb, he returned to the woods and saw Li Si with a red face and thick neck, panting heavily.
Before he could catch his breath, the wolf king stuffed the baby into his mouth and nose again, over and over again. Lu Yuan found it amusing; this wolf king certainly knew how to torture people.
He went up to the wolf king and patted him on the shoulder, asking, "What did he do to offend you?"
The wolf king picked up the baby and gestured for Li Si to speak. Looking at the wolf and the human, Li Si dared not lie and could only tell the truth.
Lu Yuan burst into laughter, calling Li Si an idiot. The Wolf King had clearly already acknowledged him as its master; how could anyone else possibly be easily turned against him?
He took out his wife's brand sleeping potion from his spatial storage, knocked Li Si unconscious, covered him with tree branches again, and had the wolf king guard him. He then left with the children.
The reason why Li Si was not taken along was that the most urgent task was to go back to the police station to explain the situation in Lijia Gou. Taking Li Si along would inevitably slow down his descent from the mountain.
The human traffickers haven't received any news yet, so they can proceed as planned there, but not in Lijia Gou.
Li Si can return in half a day at most when he goes to deliver the message. Even if there is a delay or no one notices, his family will have to look for him within a day.
But it's already afternoon, so they don't have much time left, only half a day.
More people need to be brought over to Lijia Gou, and the operation needs to be swift and decisive, all without making a sound.
One more thing: the Wolf King is likely to be exposed this time, but that's not a big problem; he's already thought of an explanation.
Lu Yuan returned to Qianyang Commune as quickly as possible, explained the situation to the director, and asked him to report to his superiors immediately, and suggested requesting support from the local armed forces department.
In fact, as early as when the entire brigade was involved in the case in Lijia Gou, the higher-level public security bureau requested support from the local armed forces department, and the armed forces department had already arranged for people to be on their way to Qianyang Commune.
Lu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief; this was for the best.
The armed forces arrived quickly, a full two military truckloads of men. Lu Yuan glanced at them and realized that it was probably almost a whole infantry company.
With time running out and the task heavy, there was not much small talk. As soon as they arrived, Lu Yuan led them to Lijia Gou, and the details were explained on the way.
Lu Yuan already had a plan in mind, and after explaining the situation, he directly presented his plan. Seeing that his plan was very reasonable, and knowing that he was a military officer, everyone had no objections and prepared to act according to his plan.
Lu Yuanxian led his men to the woods where Li Si was hidden and handed Li Si over to the two men to guard.
Everyone was stunned when they saw the majestic and flawless white wolf king, and they were even more amazed by Lu Yuan's interaction with it, which showed its intelligence.
Seeing that it had no intention of attacking anyone, everyone stared intently at it, thinking that it was much more formidable than a dog, and that if they could take it back and train it, it would be a great help to them in the future.
Unfortunately, at Lu Yuan's signal, the wolf king darted away and disappeared in a flash.
"Ah, what a pity. This wolf looks very powerful and understands human nature. We can't use it for our purposes," someone lamented.
Someone asked Lu Yuan, "Comrade Lu, how did you meet this wolf, and why did it help you?"
Lu Yuan remained calm and composed. "It was probably repaying a debt of gratitude. Last night, when I came here, I encountered a wild boar chasing a wolf cub in the mountains. The wild boar saw me and attacked me as well, so I killed the wild boar. The wolf cub probably thought I saved it."
"Today, the wolf found me with the child in its mouth. I guess it was because I had held the child before, and the wolf smelled my scent on it and saved the child."
He even led me to Li Si, who had fainted from fright. I guessed that wolf must be the father of the wolf cubs, since the cubs looked exactly like him.
"Tsk, this wolf even knows how to be grateful, which is better than many people. It doesn't attack people easily. If we could take it back and tame it, it would be even more powerful than a military dog. It's a pity we can't catch it." Someone lamented again.
Lu Yuan said, "This wolf is used to living in the mountains and fields, and it definitely won't want to leave with us. If we force it to go back, it might attack us."
"Too."
With tasks still in progress, the group didn't chat much. Apart from the two guarding Li Si, the others continued their journey towards Lijia Gou. Since they couldn't take the main roads, they had to traverse through the mountains and forests. Everyone was well-trained, so their pace was quite fast.
Upon arriving at Lijia Gou, Lu Yuan instructed everyone else to remain hidden. He only took a few men to meet the police officers who were monitoring Lijia Gou, saying he needed to change shifts.
They had all met Lu Yuan and didn't suspect anything.
However, among the people keeping watch, there was a mole, a man from Lijia Gou named Li Jun. He harbored a grudge against Lu Yuan. If it weren't for Lu Yuan, Lijia Gou wouldn't have been exposed, and it would probably be less convenient for them to act in the future. His gaze towards Lu Yuan was veiled and sinister.
Lu Yuan noticed his gaze, a smirk playing on his lips, and swiftly subdued the man. The police officers were shocked and drew their guns, aiming them at Lu Yuan. Several soldiers from the armed forces unit who had come with Lu Yuan also drew their guns and pointed them at the police officers.
"Comrade Lu, what are you doing?" a police officer asked.
Li Jun's face had turned deathly pale. He had a strong premonition that he had been exposed, and sure enough, the next second he heard Lu Yuandao say...
"This Comrade Li Jun is from Lijia Gou. He knows everything about Lijia Gou and has even been involved in it. He had already sent someone to inform the people of Lijia Gou about our operation in advance."
"Nonsense, Comrade Lu, don't spout nonsense without evidence." Li Jun still harbored a glimmer of hope.
"Another police officer surnamed Li from the household registration office was detained after reporting the incident, and Li Si, who went to tip off the human traffickers, was also arrested. They confessed everything, so what else does Comrade Li Jun have to say in his rebuttal?"
The other police officers were shocked and looked at Li Jun in disbelief, never expecting him to be from Lijia Gou.
The men who came with Lu Yuan took out their work IDs and showed them to the police officers to confirm their identities. They then put away their guns.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Lu, I didn't know what was going on just now."
"It's alright. It's already dark. We need to move out immediately. I'll leave Li Jun to you."
"good!"
A soldier put his finger to his lips, and a bird's cry pierced the dark sky. Everyone hidden in the shadows quickly headed towards Lijia Gou.
Lu Yuan had already surveyed the terrain and made all the necessary arrangements, catching Lijia Gou off guard.
From start to finish, it only took an hour. All the people from Lijia Gou were tied up and left on the open ground of the brigade headquarters.
The women who had been hidden in the ancient tomb were also found; there were forty of them in total.
Lu Yuan held up a torch and looked at the trafficked women. Some of them had iron chains on their hands and feet and had been tortured beyond recognition. Some of them were pregnant and walked with difficulty with their big bellies.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a heavily pregnant woman fell down, clutching her belly and crying out in alarm.
Lu Yuan, holding a torch, quickly walked over and reached out to help the man. "Comrade, are you alright?"
She stopped halfway through reaching out, and exclaimed in surprise, "Mo Lijuan? It's you!"
