Liu Zhien's gaze was fixed on Lu Ziyan, his eyes full of undisguised approval.
The child in front of me can still remain so calm and brave after experiencing such a terrible experience. He is worthy of being the child of Captain Lu. The perseverance and courage in his bones are indeed unique.
He leaned down slightly, gently touched Lu Ziyan's head, and said gently with some concern and trust in his voice: "Good boy, take us there! But you must be extra careful and don't let yourself get hurt..."
Lu Ziyan met Liu Zhien's gaze and nodded heavily. Although the pain in his ankle was like a ferocious beast, gnawing at his nerves from time to time, his figure remained upright, and his small body seemed to contain endless power.
Liu Zhien picked up Lu Ziyan, Lin Yuexi also picked up Lu Xiyun, and the group quickly moved towards the ruined temple.
At this moment, the two gangsters who were chasing Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were captured by Zhao Gang and his men and brought over.
Liu Zhien said, "Take him away..."
The two police officers immediately escorted them to a police car in the distance, and the other police officers also followed Liu Zhien towards the ruined temple.
At this moment, in the dilapidated temple, the remaining criminals were like a group of crazy wolves.
They had just captured a few children who had tried to escape, and were now counting the number of the escaped children with grim faces.
When they found that some children had run away, their anger exploded instantly like a lit powder keg.
"Damn it, these little bastards still want to run!" A gangster with a fierce face cursed viciously, holding a thick stick tightly in his hand, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes.
"Beat them hard and see if they dare to run away!" Another tall and thin gangster also shouted, with a distorted and cruel expression on his face.
So they waved their sticks and frantically beat the children who failed to escape.
The stick collided with the children's tender bodies, making dull and heart-wrenching sounds.
The children were completely powerless to resist and could only instinctively curl up into a ball, using their tiny arms to protect their heads and bodies.
The dilapidated temple was instantly filled with the cries of children.
The crying was heart-wrenching, full of fear, pain and helplessness, like a sharp blade, piercing everyone's heart.
The children's faces were filled with tears and fear, and their eyes were filled with fear of the criminals and desire for freedom.
But the criminals had no intention of stopping. They were immersed in the pleasure of violence and waving their sticks more and more frantically. The ruined temple was a miserable scene.
When Liu Zhien, Zhao Gang and Lin Yuexi came over, they saw this horrific scene, and the anger in their hearts was instantly ignited.
Liu Zhien's eyes flashed with ruthlessness. He said to the police officers beside him in a low but firm voice: "Action! Make sure the children are safe. Don't let any criminals go!"
Zhao Gang rushed out like an arrow. With his agile figure, he quickly approached the violent criminal.
He took a quick step forward and suddenly grabbed the arm of the ferocious-faced gangster who was waving a stick. He twisted it hard and with a "click", the gangster's arm was dislocated. The stick fell to the ground with a "clang", and the gangster screamed in pain.
Zhao Gang took advantage of the situation with a sweeping kick, tripping him to the ground, and then with a neat grappling move, he pinned him down.
At the same time, other public security officers also took action.
They were well-trained and coordinated well, rushing towards the remaining criminals like a tiger descending from a mountain.
A policeman flew up and kicked the stick out of the tall and thin gangster's hand, and then the two men wrestled with each other. The policeman quickly subdued the tall and thin gangster with his excellent physical fitness and superb fighting skills.
Liu Zhien carried Lu Ziyan and walked quickly into the ruined temple. While paying attention to the fighting situation on the scene, he looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no other potential dangers before he felt relieved.
Lin Yuexi followed closely with Lu Xiyun in her arms, and began to feel pity for these poor children.
Even though she was a killer in her previous life and had killed many people, she had her own rules and did not kill women, children, the elderly and the disabled. Those she killed were all people who deserved to die.
"Children, don't be afraid, you are saved...!" Lin Yuexi shouted loudly, trying to comfort the children.
With the police’s strenuous efforts, all the criminals in the ruined temple were subdued soon.
They were held tightly by the police, unable to move, and the ferocity and arrogance on their faces had long been replaced by fear and despair.
Lin Yuexi quickly put Lu Xiyun down and rushed to the injured children. She gently helped the children up one by one and comforted them softly: "It's okay, it's okay, the bad guys have been caught."
She carefully examined the children's wounds and gently wiped the tears and dust from their faces with her hands.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun also ran to the children. Although they were young, they were trying hard to give strength and comfort to the other children.
Lu Ziyan endured the pain in his ankle, sat next to a little boy who was seriously injured, and encouraged him: "Don't be afraid, we are safe now, my mother is a doctor, she will treat your injuries..."
Lu Xiyun used her tender little hands to gently stroke a little girl's hair and pulled her in front of Lin Yuexi.
Lin Yuexi then realized that the first aid kit she brought was still on the three-wheeled police motorcycle. She didn't even help Lu Ziyan with his foot injury, and she began to feel guilty for her carelessness.
Upon seeing this, Liu Zhien waved his hand and asked a policeman to help Lin Yuexi get the first aid kit. He then quickly found out the number of criminals in the ruined temple and the number of abducted children, including those who had escaped, and asked the policemen to find them and bring them back.
Because at a night like this, with such young children, they could be in danger again if they are not careful, and we have to find them back.
After two hours of searching and busy work, the police finally found the escaped children safely.
These children were running alone in the dark, their hearts filled with fear and helplessness. Only when they saw the police did they let down their guard.
Some of them were happy, some were crying with excitement, and some said, "I want to go home..."
The police officers comforted them one by one, and Lin Yuexi helped them clean the wounds on their bodies one by one.
I don’t know how long it took, but Liu Zhien and Zhao Gang had finished dealing with everything!
Then they arranged for the public security comrades to take away all the criminals, and asked someone to borrow a tractor from the village brigade headquarters to send all the twenty-odd children back to the county public security bureau.
When we arrived at the County Public Security Bureau, colleagues who had been waiting there for a long time surrounded us.
Seeing those young yet scarred and tired faces, everyone's hearts were filled with anger and heartache.
Liu Zhien quickly arranged for police officers to register the children's information, asking in detail for key information such as their home addresses, parents' names, etc., trying to contact their families as quickly as possible.
