    Chapter 157

    Bai Xiuxiu questioned the leader of these few people.

    Hearing this, the middle-aged man's face immediately changed. "What do you mean?"

    "Nothing much. Someone tipped me off, so I found out. Tell me, how come you didn't plan this properly?

    Or did someone leak the information intentionally?

    Who exactly is causing trouble here?"

    Bai Xiuxiu questioned them further.

    Upon hearing this, the man was no longer calm.

    Damn, had they really been tricked?

    The more Liu Erhu thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. After all, their arrival in the village was kept secret. If they hadn't leaked it themselves, how could anyone have known to intercept them?

    For the past two days, he had constantly asked those two old men to keep an eye on things, fearing failure.

    And yet, something still went wrong?

    Liu Erhu, with his already frightening appearance, now looked even more chilling.

    If they were caught, there would be no escape.

    If those two old men had betrayed them, they might as well expose them too.

    "It was a family named Wang in your village. They have two elderly members who said you are their daughter-in-law. When you and your husband separated from them, you took a lot of money.

    Since you both have plenty of money, they asked us to kidnap your children.

    We would then split the money.

    When your children didn't show up, they changed the plan to kidnapping you instead.

    After getting the money, we would sell you far away.

    With no mother around, we would then take your children.

    This was their plan, and to urge us to act quickly, they promised to give us extra money."

    Liu Erhu blurted out everything.

    Hearing this, everyone else was shocked.

    "Which family? The Wangs?" Yang Chuanwen was the first to express disbelief. He had a decent relationship with Wang Laoer, so how could his family do such an inhumane thing?

    The two elderly members of the Wang family, although biased at times, couldn't possibly do this, right?

    Not just the Yang brothers, but everyone else present was equally stunned.

    They all cast sympathetic glances at Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu.

    This was truly tragic!

    Wang Qinghe, who had been standing silently beside Bai Xiuxiu, spoke up to the team leader. "Captain, you must give my wife justice.

    You also need to explain this to the village. They brought kidnappers into the village. Even if my wife is safe, there are many children here.

    They are putting the whole village at risk.

    I will report this incident, and you must help us testify.

    If not for our luck, we wouldn't know what was happening."

    Wang Qinghe's eyes were red-rimmed.

    Usually quiet and hardworking in the village, his grievances resonated with everyone.

    In their case, would it be losing their wife first, and then their two children?

    The heart is truly weary of living!

    "You can rest assured; we can all vouch for this. Chuangwen, go and call Old Wang's family over."

    "Today's matter cannot just be let go like this."

    Although the captain had already known about the situation, he was still very angry upon hearing from Guai Zi about Old Wang's family's intentions.

    "All right, I'll go right away."

    The Wang Family.

    The Wang family was having dinner together. Over the past couple of days, Wang Shoucheng had been feeling anxious, and he had developed several blisters on his mouth.

    The pain made it difficult to eat.

    Although Old Fifth's wife earns money for the family every day, his biggest concern right now is the couple, Big Brother and his wife.

    Those traffickers aren't exactly professionals, are they?

    It's been three days and there's still no news.

    Just as anxious as Wang Shoucheng is Zhou Jiaojiao.

    Zhou Jiaojiao found even the food tasteless, as Bai Xiuxiu's courtyard was so much better than theirs.

    The factory where her brother worked was also good.

    Today, she had even passed by Bai Xiuxiu's house, with its spacious rooms that Bai Xiuxiu didn't deserve at all!

    Her in-laws were taking too long to get things done; they needed to act sooner.

    Then the job would be her husband's, and the house could be hers to live in.

    "Is everyone home? The team leader is calling your whole family over," Yang Chuanwen shouted into the courtyard, heading toward their house.

    Everyone inside was stunned.

    What did that mean?

    Wang Shoucheng was already on edge, and hearing about going to the team felt bittersweet.

    He quickly went out. "Little Yang, what's going on? Why did the team leader suddenly call our whole family? Can't just my old lady go?"

    "Uncle Wang, how would I know? The team leader said to bring you all over together.

    Are you eating? Stop eating and come with me now."

    Yang Chuanwen didn't reveal what it was about, to prevent them from preparing.

    Wang Shoucheng didn't want to go at all.

    But if the team leader called them, wouldn't he come looking if they didn't show up?

    "Alright, we'll go."

    Wang Shoucheng had no choice but to gather his family.

    Seeing that the whole family was being summoned, Zhou Jiaojiao had a bad feeling.

    Could it be that they had failed?

    Could those people be so stupid?

    On the way, Zhou Jiaojiao tried several times to find out what was happening, but Yang Chuanwen remained tight-lipped, making her even more uneasy.

    Soon, Yang Chuanwen led their entire family to the team headquarters.

    As soon as they entered, Zhao Guifen saw the trafficker she had been in contact with and nearly collapsed from fear.

    Wang Shoucheng steadied her.

    Wang Shoucheng glared fiercely at his wife.

    What was this wretched woman afraid of?

    "You're here? Do any of you recognize these three people?" the team leader asked, looking at the whole family.

    Zhao Guifen shook her head first. "I don't recognize them."

    The others also shook their heads. Compared to them, Zhao Cuihua knew more and was shocked.

    How could it have come to this?

    She had only wanted her sister-in-law to avoid being trafficked.

    How did her sister-in-law end up catching the traffickers?

    Wasn't this making things worse?

    Zhao Cuihua dared not speak up.

    Liu Erhu, the head of the traffickers, seeing Zhao Guifen pretending not to recognize him, became furious. He sneered. "You don't recognize me?

    Zhao Guifen, wasn't it me who beat your face swollen?

    And didn't you say your family had just divided the property, and your son and daughter-in-law got quite a bit of money? They had over a thousand in hand.

    And there was still debt owed to you, which you hoped to get rid of along with the promissory notes.

    Didn't you say all that?

    The promissory notes showed you owed over three or four thousand, right? Not many people know about that, do they?"

    The more Liu Erhu spoke, the more shocked everyone became.

    The team leader, enraged, smashed his enamel mug. "You still claim you don't know them? Your family's promissory notes were certified by me!

    You've bullied your eldest son all along.

    His division of property was also certified by me!

    Zhao Guifen, Wang Shoucheng, what's wrong with you two?

    How dare you hire traffickers to harm your own daughter-in-law? Are you even human?"
