"Brother Xiaoshan, Brother Xiaoshan, the fight in the yard is over. We have tied them all up. What should we do next?" Xiao Wu came to Chen Xiaoshan excitedly.
Hearing the battle was over, Chen Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief and asked with some concern, "Xiao Wu, are there any casualties among the brothers?"
Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, this battle went exceptionally smoothly. The brothers didn't suffer many casualties. Only 5-6 brothers were slightly injured, and the others are intact."
"Have you conducted a preliminary investigation on them? Which of them are the real criminals? Which ones were fooled by them?" Chen Xiaoshan asked curiously.
Hearing Chen Xiaoshan's question, Xiao Wu took out a small notebook and said, "Brother Xiaoshan, there are actually five people in this group who are human traffickers. The evidence is very sufficient. The others were deceived by Li Xiaofei."
When Chen Xiaoshan heard this answer, he was stunned. What reason did that blockhead Li Xiaofei use to fool so many people? Could it be that he could provide them with jobs? Chen Xiaoshan really guessed it right.
Seeing that Chen Xiaoshan didn't say anything, Xiao Wu continued, "Brother Xiaoshan, this time it was all thanks to the protective gear that the boss left for everyone. If it weren't for these protective gear, someone would definitely have been seriously injured."
Chen Xiaoshan touched his elbow protector and sighed, "Boss is truly amazing. He can even get something like this. Xiao Wu, tell everyone to control the enemies first. I'll go find the boss and report what's going on."
Seeing Chen Xiaoshan's smiling face, Huo Qiqi knew that the battle in the front yard must have been over, and that their side had won. With so many protective gears brought out this time, there shouldn't be major casualties.
Chen Xiaoshan quickly walked over to Huo Qiqi and briefly recounted what had happened in the front yard. After listening to Chen Xiaoshan's narration, Huo Qiqi asked in confusion, "Cai Aping, who is this person? Does anyone know?"
Chen Xiaoshan shook his head and said embarrassedly, "No one knows who this Cai Aping is. After we finish this, we will go and find out. No matter who she is, she actually dared to harm the boss. We must avenge the boss."
Huo Qiqi nodded in satisfaction after hearing Chen Xiaoshan's assurance and chuckled, "This isn't a big deal. Just let everyone do their best. After Li Xiaofei's death, Cai Aping probably won't make any moves in the short term. You just need to investigate her identity, and I'll handle it when the time comes."
Since Cai Aping can command the collateral descendants of the Li family, it means that her identity is not simple. Huo Qiqi suspects that Cai Aping has a relationship with the Li family in Beijing.
She looked at the stack of money in Chen Xiaoshan's hand and asked in confusion, "Chen Xiaoshan, what's going on with this money? Where did it come from?"
Chen Xiaoshan smiled and said, "Boss, this money is what Li Xiaofei used to buy his life. He still has 20,000 yuan in his rental house. I have arranged for someone to collect it."
Huo Qiqi was interested in examining Chen Xiaoshan and asked with a smile, "Chen Xiaoshan, what are you going to do with this money?"
Chen Xiaoshan scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "Boss, I don't know what to do with this money. I just lied to Li Xiaofei to piss him off. I'm going to use this money to compensate those girls. The details will depend on your arrangements."
Huo Qiqi nodded, agreeing with Chen Xiaoshan's arrangement, but still warned Chen Xiaoshan that he could exercise subjective initiative, but he could not act on his own. Chen Xiaoshan still played a significant role in her future business layout.
As for the thugs in the yard, Huo Qiqi had Chen Xiaoshan take them all to the police station. The evidence against the traffickers was sufficient, and the girls didn't need to testify. As for Li Xiaofei's 20,000 yuan, Chen Xiaoshan was to distribute it to everyone involved in the operation.
The girls who were rescued outside the yard huddled together tightly. Although the temperature was very low, they were not afraid of the cold because of the clothes given by Huo Qiqi. They huddled together mainly because it was a habitual behavior out of fear.
They were worried that Huo Qiqi might get into an accident, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the small door. They hoped that Huo Qiqi would appear in front of them sooner.
With the anticipation of many girls, the small door finally opened. The moment they saw Huo Qiqi appear, the girls excitedly gathered around her, saying in unison, "That's great, that's great, thank you, thank you."
Seeing Huo Qiqi being interrupted several times, the well-dressed girl said loudly, "Sisters, please be quiet for a moment. I think my benefactor seems to have something to say to everyone. Please be quiet for a moment."
Huo Qiqi glanced at the girl, nodded, and said softly, "I'm a girl too, so I naturally can't stand seeing those bad guys bullying everyone like this. What are your plans next?"
After hearing Huo Qiqi's question, everyone was at a loss, not knowing where to go. In this era where letters of introduction were needed everywhere, they were unable to move forward. Moreover, they were penniless, so where could they go?
Seeing their confused expressions, Huo Qiqi said, "Don't worry too much. I've already made arrangements. Someone will take you to the Public Security Bureau and they will send you back to your hometown."
Seeing that everyone was no longer confused, Huo Qiqi took out the 12,000 yuan and said softly, "There are 12 girls in total. Each of you will receive 1,000 yuan from me as your travel expenses home."
Looking at the 1,000 yuan in their hands, the girls burst into tears of excitement. They had not expected Huo Qiqi to not only save them but also provide them with clothes, food, and even travel expenses. With this money, they would not be rejected by their parents when they returned home.
In an era when monthly wages were around 40 yuan, 1,000 yuan was equivalent to more than two years' wages, a huge sum of money. In rural areas, this 1,000 yuan was a day's fortune.
The leading girl returned the money to Huo Qiqi and said, "My benefactor, I don't want this money anymore. You should give it to others. My home is in Jing City. I came out to visit a friend yesterday afternoon, but was caught here by Li Xiaofei. I will definitely teach him a lesson when I get back."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and said to Huo Qiqi, "Hello, my name is Li Xiner, a member of the Li family in Beijing. What should I call you?"
"Li Xiner, do you know Cai Aping?" Huo Qiqi asked, looking into Li Xiner's eyes.
"I know her. She's my eldest brother Li Ruhai's fiancée, and she's from the Cai family in Beijing."
