Xiao Qin, are you sure you want to go in?

"Lao Liu, you bastard, how dare you betray us!"

"I... I didn't mean to..."

"Shit! The drug is kicking in! Get him, brothers!"

"Aoo... Aoo... Aoo."

"Don't... don't come closer..."

"I just had hemorrhoid surgery!"

"I don't care! Smooth and tender skin, I've long wanted to... face the challenge and mount a man!"

"Ah—"

"You beasts! I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost."

Li Wei's mouth twitched.

He seemed to already know the skinny man's fate.

He turned and left.

He walked out of the building.

The night wind blew over.

It was very cold.

Li Wei leaned against the wall.

His shoulder still hurt.

But he didn't have time to worry about that.

He took out the Black Card he had just bought and inserted it into his phone.

He dialed an emergency number.

It rang five times.

It connected.

"Hello? This is the Shen City Police Reporting Platform. How may I help you?"

It was a male voice.

Very serious.

Li Wei lowered his voice.

"I have a major tip to report."

The person on the other end paused.

"Alright, what is the tip, and please provide your name?"

Li Wei did not answer.

"I need to speak to Qin Bing of the Criminal Investigation Team. Please transfer me, or I won't say a word."

"Sir, we are all professional police staff, please..."

Li Wei interrupted directly.

"I won't say it a second time. I need Qin Bing."

"Wait a moment."

The other side hesitated for a while.

Then, sounds of conversation came from the other end of the line.

After about thirty seconds.

"You are now being transferred. Please hold."

A few seconds later.

"Hello? This is Qin Bing."

Qin Bing's voice came through.

It carried fatigue.

Li Wei deliberately altered his voice.

Making it hoarse and deep.

"Luohu District, Jianguo Road, number 237."

"There is human trafficking."

"The entrance is behind the refrigerator door."

"There are five or six children in the basement."

"They have all been given sleeping pills."

"Go quickly."

Qin Bing paused on her end.

"Who are you?"

Li Wei did not answer.

"Also."

He paused.

"You might have a mole protecting this group internally."

"Be careful."

"Wait..."

Ignoring Qin Bing, Li Wei hung up the phone immediately.

He took out the Black Card.

Broke it in half.

And threw it into a roadside drain.

Then he turned around.

And left along the way he had come.

He walked to the rooftop of an abandoned factory building located on higher ground.

Li Wei stopped.

Leaning against the railing.

He lit a cigarette.

Taking a deep drag.

He looked at the abandoned factory building in the distance.

Waiting... At the hospital.

Qin Bing sat on the long bench outside the ward.

Holding her phone.

The screen showed the unfamiliar number from earlier.

Her brow was furrowed.

That voice... was very unfamiliar.

And it had been deliberately altered.

Why did they look for her?

She was just an ordinary Police Officer who had joined the force only a month ago.

Other than having decent skills, she had no resources and no informants.

Who would hand such a huge meritorious deed to her?

Especially a major human trafficking case.

If confirmed, promotion would certainly be within reach.

Also... the caller seemed to give a specific warning.

Saying that the police force had a protective umbrella for the criminals (a mole).

Telling her to be careful.

Qin Bing gripped her phone tightly.

Just then.

Her phone rang.

It was Deputy Captain Tian Yimin of the Criminal Investigation Team.

He was set to retire in two weeks.

Currently, since the previous Captain of the Criminal Investigation Team was still being treated in the hospital due to serious injuries.

All affairs of the Criminal Investigation Team were temporarily handled by Tian Yimin.

Qin Bing answered.

"Hello, Captain Tian."

"Little Qin, I heard there was a tip-off call just now... specifically asking for you."

"Yes, I have understood the situation."

Qin Bing nodded.

"The informant pointed out that at Jianguo Road, number 237, Luohu District, there is human trafficking, and the entrance is at the refrigerator, leading directly to the basement."

Tian Yimin was stunned, his pitch rising by several decibels.

"What? Are you sure?"

"I can only confirm that this is what the informant said."

Qin Bing stood up.

"It's better to believe it might be true."

Tian Yimin thought for a moment.

"Fine, I'll deploy personnel immediately. Those bastards, causing trouble right before my retirement."

"Qin Bing, since you were the person specified by the tip provider, you go too."

"Yes!"

Qin Bing hung up the phone.

She walked into the ward.

Her mother was still lying in bed.

Her face was pale.

Qin Bing walked to the bedside.

She leaned down and kissed her mother's forehead.

"Mom, I have to go out for a while."

"I'll be back soon."

She turned and walked out.

She walked to the Nurse station.

"Could you please look after Ward 508 for me?"

The Nurse nodded.

"Alright."

Qin Bing quickly left the hospital.

She hailed a car and rushed toward Luohu District... Jianguo Road, number 237.

Three police cars, sirens blaring, stopped downstairs.

Headlights flashed.

Tian Yimin, holding his gun, led five Police Officers into the building.

"Police! Don't move!"

In the living room on the first floor.

There was no one.

But there were signs of a struggle on the floor.

And bloodstains.

Tian Yimin frowned.

"Search!"

The Police Officers dispersed.

Soon.

A Police Officer stopped at the storage room door.

"Captain Tian!"

"There are sounds in here!"

Tian Yimin walked over.

He leaned his ear closer.

Strange noises came from inside.

And cries of agony.

"Ah—"

"Don't come closer—"

"I really just had hemorrhoid surgery—"

Tian Yimin's expression changed.

"Breach the door!"

Two Police Officers pushed together.

Bang!

The door was broken open.

The scene inside stunned everyone.

Six men were crammed into the small storage room.

Completely naked.

Entangled with each other.

Their expressions were both painful and frenzied.

Tian Yimin instantly understood what was happening.

"Stop looking, damn it! You'll get styes!"

"Go find the children! Yes, look for that refrigerator."

The Police Officers quickly turned away.

Tian Yimin walked to the living room.

A Police Officer had already opened the refrigerator.

Behind it was clearly an opening.

He took out his flashlight.

And shone it inside.

"There are stairs down there!"

Tian Yimin took the lead, bringing two Police Officers down.

They reached the basement.

They saw the children huddled in the corner.

And three men who were tied up and groaning.

Tian Yimin squatted down.

He checked the children's breathing.

He let out a sigh of relief.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get medical staff in here immediately!"

"Yes!"

Tian Yimin stood up.

Looking at the three tied-up men.

His gaze was cold.

"Take these scumbags upstairs too!"

...Ten minutes later.

Qin Bing finally arrived at the scene.

She got out of the car.

Seeing the police cars and ambulance parked at the entrance.

Her heart stirred.

It seemed it was true.

Qin Bing quickly walked into the building.

Tian Yimin stood at the doorway.

Seeing her.

"Little Qin is here. You've earned a great merit."

Qin Bing stopped.

"Captain Tian, the children..."

"Found them."

Tian Yimin paused.

"Six children. All alive."

Qin Bing sighed in relief.

"That's good."

She walked inside.

Wanting to see the scene.

But Tian Yimin suddenly stopped her.

"Little Qin."

Qin Bing looked at him.

Tian Yimin hesitated for a few seconds.

"The situation inside..."

He paused.

"It's a bit complicated. It's not really suitable for a young woman like you to see."

Qin Bing frowned.

"Captain Tian, what do you mean?"

Tian Yimin sighed.

"Just listen to me. Don't go in."

Qin Bing shook her head.

"I am a Police Officer."

"What kind of scene haven't I seen?"

Tian Yimin looked at her.

"Are you sure you want to see?"

Qin Bing nodded, resolute.

Isn't it just a bloody crime scene?

This was a great opportunity for her to learn.

"I'm sure!"

Tian Yimin stepped aside.

"Then be careful."
