Photos of the snow-colored little kitten were simultaneously sent to these Weibo accounts.
Xie Chen didn’t check private messages, but Tan Yi’s studio Weibo had someone managing it.
“Brother Tan, look, isn’t this Lili?”
The person managing the Weibo account immediately showed the photo to Tan Yi without hesitation after seeing the message.
Tan Yi instantly recognized his beloved little brother.
“It’s Lili.”
He frowned, “How did you send me Lili’s photo?”
The Weibo manager quickly replied, “Someone else sent it.”
He explained the whole situation to Tan Yi.
Tan Yi couldn’t sit still after hearing this.
“Get an address, I’m going to pick up Lili right now.”
In the apartment building, Bai Li was with the kidnapped children.
Most of the children were awake, and the little chubby kid who had been drugged opened his eyes not long after.
He was a bit dazed upon waking.
“Why am I here?”
Wasn’t he picked up by the aunt arranged by his mother? This was not his home.
A child who had been locked up longer looked at his dazed expression and told him the truth: “We’ve all been kidnapped and sold. Once the traffickers find buyers, we’ll be sold.”
The little chubby kid was stunned for a few seconds, then looked up, about to cry.
“Don’t cry, you’ll get beaten here.”
Before he could cry, another child warned him: “Crying here won’t get anyone’s attention, but you’ll get beaten and starve.”
The little chubby kid: “…”
He held back tears, his face turning red.
Bai Li felt sorry for him and quickly jumped into his arms.“Meow.”
Good, don’t cry.
The little kitten liked human children very much. He had encountered some very naughty kids, but also some very kind little ones.
He liked soft little kids.
His connection with Master on the phone continued uninterrupted.
Human trafficker Aunt Jia was now communicating with buyers, occasionally instructing her two subordinates on how to do their tasks.
Her son kept messaging her, telling her not to sell the cat and to keep it instead. Besides that, he also asked where she was.
Aunt Jia, doing such shady business, didn’t tell her son the truth.
In fact, she was very cautious as a trafficker. People in her hometown village all thought she was a migrant worker; no one knew she was trafficking children.
Aunt Jia casually made up an address for her son.
Then she found an excuse to say she was busy and stopped replying to her son.
Xie Chen needed some time to rush back.
Meanwhile, Bai Rong, who was searching for her little brother, had exceptional detective skills.
On the way, she even ran into a parent crying bitterly looking for their child.
Following her intuition, Bai Rong approached and carefully noted the time, place, and description of the lost child.
During her search, a passerby gave her a clue.
“That little chubby kid was carrying a white kitten and walked away with a middle-aged woman.”
“They got into a van, but I don’t know where the van is headed.”
This was good news.
Bai Rong thought to herself, she was getting two birds with one stone.
Going out to find her brother, and accidentally finding the little chubby kid as a bonus.
“Don’t worry, I will help you find the child,” Bai Rong said, effortlessly switching between cat and human form, unlike her beloved little brother who still struggled a bit with transformation.
She confirmed a direction and continued a meticulous carpet-style search.
After switching back to human form, Jin Jin also followed.
Halfway through, Jin Jin suddenly stopped.
“Scorpion.”
His gaze coldly locked onto that direction. It seemed his sister had missed a clue.
The original search for his sister stopped right there.He turned around and personally dealt with that last escaped fish.
City A was very large.
A fugitive without identification, guilty of heinous crimes, even if he died, would not evoke anyone’s sympathy.
“King, do you think killing me will let you stay by that woman’s side?”
Scorpion’s lips foamed with blood, his eyes glaring at him like a demon: “You’re the young master of the Golden Triangle area. You were born dirty. Wanting to stay and be with that woman? Impossible!”
Jin Jin — no, he should be called King — his gaze was cold, his grip tightening little by little, until he twisted Scorpion’s neck until he died.
“If I want something, I will definitely get it.”
Scorpion laughed before dying, mocking his foolish hopes and insane schemes.
“You won’t get it.”
Blood spilled from Scorpion’s mouth as he laughed: “King, people like you will never, never…”
He never finished that last sentence.
King looked into his eyes that refused to close in death and chuckled lightly.
See?
He had warned these people long ago not to interfere with him. Yet, until death, none of them obeyed.
King had to deal with this heavily guilty corpse and couldn’t look for Bai Rong.
At this moment,
Bai Rong had already reached near the tenement building.
She did not act rashly but transformed into a cat, lightly leaping up the stairs of the tenement.
Bai Rong’s fur was the same color as Bai Li’s, but hers was fluffier and softer, and she was much larger than the kitten Li Li, giving an overall elegant and noble impression.
The cat’s paw pads stepped on the stairs without making a sound.
At such close range, Bai Rong quickly confirmed her brother’s exact location.
After confirming the location, Bai Rong did not rush inside.
She retreated to a safe place and notified the police and nearby teams.
“Eighty thousand yuan.”
In the rundown house, Aunt Jia was bargaining: “Don’t tell me girls aren’t worth much. The girls I have are all fresh and lively.”
“You buy the girls from me, we both know what they’re for. Even eighty thousand yuan is too little.”
Aunt Jia was experienced and strict about prices. The buyer’s attempt to bargain failed, and they finally agreed on eighty thousand yuan per girl.Aunt Jia arranged with him when to “pick up the goods” and when to collect the money.
Bai Li, being small and innocent-looking, confidently walked up to Aunt Jia, who didn’t suspect him.
After several deals, Aunt Jia calculated the money and made quite a profit.
Coincidentally, since her son forbade her from selling the cat, she reluctantly agreed to keep the cat for her son to raise as a pet.
Just as Aunt Jia sat at the table doing the accounts, the front door suddenly burst open, and a black gun barrel was pressed against them: “Everyone freeze!”
Though Bai Rong was dressed casually from her transformed state, her aura still outmatched the uniformed men.
Aunt Jia wanted to run.
“Bang—”
Bai Rong’s bullet suddenly whizzed past her face.
This terrified Aunt Jia.
She was a human trafficker who knew what to do when in danger, but the police normally didn’t act this aggressively—actually shooting was unexpected!
After firing, Bai Rong stunned Aunt Jia, who tried to flee. The people Bai Rong brought were not to be trifled with; the two men beside Aunt Jia were quickly subdued.
During the struggle, one of Bai Rong’s subordinates knocked someone out cold.
Hearing the noise, Bai Li was comforting the frightened children.
“Meow, meow meow!”
Don’t be scared!
He poked his head out cautiously, glanced around stealthily, then withdrew and reported to the children: “Someone’s come to save us.”
The entire group of children, along with Aunt Jia, who had been trafficking children for years, were finally all found by the police this time.
“Meow aow.”
Second sister. While everyone was calming and distracting the children, Bai Li jumped into Bai Rong’s arms.
His beautiful amber eyes sparkled, little paws hugged Second Sister, rubbing affectionately: “How did you know we were here?”
Bai Rong kissed his head: “Xie Chen’s steward said you went out, so we came to find you.”
Mentioning this made Bai Li immediately droop.
“Second sister, I miss Master.”
He missed Master so much that’s why he went looking for him.
Just then, a familiar voice sounded from behind.
“Li Li, do you miss me?”Bai Li was stunned.
He looked past Second Sister, staring blankly at the suddenly appearing Xie Chen. The next moment, the little cat’s face lit up with excitement: “Master!!!”
Xie Chen reached out and caught the eager little cat in his arms.
“You take Li Li back first.”
Bai Rong didn’t ask how Xie Chen found them; she had checked Xie Chen and guessed...
It was not hard to figure out what he had placed on Li Li.
Xie Chen didn’t want to deal with all that, so he listened to Bai Rong and carried Bai Li away without another word.
That night.
Bai Rong specifically came back to tell Xie Chen what happened that day.
“Aunt Jia has several big fish; we’re tracking them down. So, for now, the children’s situation won’t be made public.”
Among Aunt Jia’s buyers, some bought children not to raise but for even more disgusting purposes.
The other side had a large, complete network—buying children, training them, sending them away...
This was no longer a simple trafficking case.
When Bai Rong got busy, she naturally couldn’t pay attention to Jin Jin.
“Li Li, you’re about the same age as Jin Jin. Why don’t you try to persuade him for me? I won’t be able to take him with me.”
“I arranged a school for him; you both can go listen to classes there.”
Bai Rong wasn’t naive about Jin Jin’s attitude toward her—she knew exactly what it meant.
Bai Li nodded obediently at his sister’s instructions.
“Okay.”
He hugged Bai Rong and asked with concern, “Second Sister, be careful when you’re out there busy.”
“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”
Bai Rong was working so hard partly because she believed what she was doing had real meaning, but another reason was that, like all her siblings, she was searching for treasures from Monster Mountain.
Because she had contact with many high-ups and had been to places ordinary people couldn’t go.
In the process, her chances of finding treasures were greater. Jin Jin was arranged by Bai Rong to attend school, and Bai Li, listening to his sister, would accompany Jin Jin to school.
The school hadn’t started yet, but the library was open.
Bai Li invited Jin Jin to go to the library together.
Jin Jin hadn’t seen Bai Rong for two days, and now invited by Bai Li, he didn’t refuse and followed him out.“Jin Jin, what kind of books do you like to read?”
There wasn’t many people in the library. Bai Li imitated Jin Jin, looking for books on the shelves.
Jin Jin picked up a book about finance. Bai Li leaned over to look but couldn’t understand anything.
“Li Li.”
The two took their chosen books and went to a small sofa where no one would disturb them. Jin Jin flipped through his book and casually asked Bai Li, “Has your sister ever talked about me?”
Bai Li tilted his head, thought for a moment, and said, “Just a few sentences.”
“A few sentences?”
“Yes, she said you’re a good kid.”
Hearing that evaluation, Jin Jin smiled.
