Chapter 425 Oh no, our people were caught!
Those cabbages were just like what Qi Tongwei had seen before, many of them had already rotted.
The little boy walked to the pile of cabbages and looked at the cabbages that gave off a rotten smell, his heart filled with grievance and helplessness.
But he knew that if he did not do as the traffickers asked, he would face more severe punishment.
He silently picked up a cabbage. The leaves of the cabbage were already rotten beyond recognition. He could only try his best to pick out the parts that could still be washed and began to wash them with difficulty.
His little hands were frozen red in the icy water, but he didn't dare to slack off at all.
The traffickers stood by, watching the little boy work, and occasionally made noises of ridicule and insults.
They treat these abducted children inhumanely, like slaves, using them only as tools to make money, and torturing and abusing them at will.
Qi Tongwei was so angry that he was about to explode. His chest was heaving violently and his teeth were chattering as if he was about to break them.
However, he knew that he still needed to gather more information and could not let his impulse ruin the whole thing.
So he could only force himself to calm down, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm his emotions.
Qi Tongwei was full of curiosity. Why were all the people who came out to take action children?
Where are the adults?
He decided to find out what was going on, so he immediately used his eagle eye skill to look at the people in the house.
When he saw this, his heart suddenly tightened.
The scene inside the house was horrific. Almost none of the adults were in good health.
Some of the arms were severely deformed, as if they had been twisted by some enormous force, bending at a weird angle. Their skin was covered with purple bruises and shocking scars, as if telling of the inhuman torture they had suffered.
Some of them have missing limbs, and the wounds on the broken limbs look like they have been there for a long time, but one can still imagine the severe pain they felt when they were injured.
Some had their legs broken and could only sit on the ground, their eyes filled with despair and numbness.
Qi Tongwei felt a chill in his heart as he realized that these adults seemed to have been tortured into disabled people.
He seemed to be able to see the cruel methods of those human traffickers. They had no mercy and would torture these poor people by any means necessary to achieve their goals.
These adults may have tried to resist, or they may have lost their usefulness due to illness or injury, so they were treated so cruelly by human traffickers and became what they are now.
A moment later, a man ran out in a panic with a phone in his hand.
His eyes were wide open, filled with fear, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.
He pressed the phone tightly to his ear, his voice trembling noticeably. "What? Someone was arrested? Why?"
His voice seemed particularly abrupt in the silent courtyard, and the air around him seemed to become heavy because of his nervousness.
There seemed to be someone saying something on the other end of the phone. As he listened, his face became paler and paler, and his body began to shake.
"How could this happen? We have always been very careful." He muttered to himself, his eyes full of panic and helplessness.
The arrest of their accomplices means that their crimes may have been exposed, and their evil deeds that have been hidden in the dark will soon be exposed to the sun.
He held the phone tightly in his hand, as if it was his last straw, but the news from the other end of the phone shattered his remaining hope bit by bit.
The news quickly spread throughout the base.
The house, which was originally immersed in dead silence and darkness, now lit up with two dim lights. The weak light swayed in the darkness, as if it would be swallowed by the darkness at any time.
Many ignorant children in the house poked their heads out curiously, their eyes full of confusion and fear.
These children's faces were dirty and their hair was messy.
They listened to the noise outside and shivered unconsciously.
The other two human traffickers also hurried out, their footsteps hurried and hurried, raising a slight cloud of dust.
One of them frowned and said, "Didn't they say everything was ready? Why were they suddenly arrested?"
There was obvious anxiety and dissatisfaction in his voice, and his eyes were fixed on the person who answered the phone, as if he wanted to get a satisfactory answer from him.
The person who answered the phone shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with confusion and worry. He said, "I don't know. I heard that he offended a big shot who shouldn't have been offended."
His voice was a little low. The news was like a heavy stone, weighing on everyone's heart.
One of them scratched his head in confusion, his eyes filled with bewilderment, and said, "What should we do now? Should we move out?"
There was a tremor in his voice.
Just then, a slightly older, lame man came out.
He walked with a limp, his body swaying slightly with every step, but his eyes revealed an elusive calmness.
He shook his head and said, "Let's not panic for now. You all know that they are used to being rampant.
It's not like something like this hasn't happened before, and wasn't it always a false alarm? They won't really come looking for us."
He paused and continued, "We've been operating here for so long, and our network of relationships is so complex, it's not that easy to be wiped out in one fell swoop.
Those guys who were arrested must have been careless and offended someone without knowing it.
We just need to stay put and continue doing our work, and there will be no big problems."
As he spoke, he glanced at the human traffickers around him, with a hint of warning in his eyes, as if to say that if anyone dared to act rashly, don't blame him for being rude.
The others listened to his words and nodded, but they still felt unsure in their hearts.
There was still worry in their eyes as they exchanged uneasy glances.
One of them muttered quietly, "This time it feels different. If we really get targeted, we're done."
Another person also agreed: "Yeah, who is that big shot? He can be arrested so easily, he must be no ordinary person."
The lame man heard their muttering, frowned, and said impatiently: "Shut up! If you are afraid, you can leave now, but don't blame me for not reminding you that if you leave this organization, you will not have a good life outside."
After hearing what he said, everyone dared not say a word.
They knew that although this lame man was physically disabled, he was ruthless and had absolute authority in the organization.
They could only stand there silently, hoping that the lame man's judgment was correct and that the matter would be resolved quickly as before.
