The old woman chuckled awkwardly and glanced deeply at Fu Wenwen.
How did she know her inner thoughts?
"Now, I'll give you a chance. Take that Wei Lan to your superiors and sell her. Dare you?" Fu Wenwen asked the old woman with a smile.
"You..." The old woman looked at Fu Wenwen, what did she mean?
"Redeem yourself with merit!" Fu Wenwen chuckled.
"It is every citizen's duty to capture criminals. Everyone is responsible."
"If you succeed, we will follow this lead and rescue the victimized female comrades. This is also a good deed. For you... this good deed could get you a reduced sentence. If the merit is great enough, you might even be able to offset your crime and avoid jail."
Fu Wenwen spoke softly to the old woman, who was greatly tempted.
Her eyes darted back and forth, contemplating the possibilities Fu Wenwen presented.
Fu Wenwen calmly awaited the old woman's answer, lazily taking a sip of warm water.
The police officers outside the door held their breath, eagerly anticipating the old woman's decision.
"Alright, but you have to protect my old life. What if those people hurt me or retaliate?" the old woman said with hesitation.
"You have no children, what are you afraid of retaliation? As long as you are unharmed, what can they do to you?" Fu Wenwen mercilessly exposed the old woman's pretense.
The old woman snorted.
"Fine! I agree."
"You can go now! Tell us who instructed you and deliver her to your superiors. Then your mission will be complete," Fu Wenwen said with a smile to the old woman.
"Aren't you afraid I'll just run away?" The old woman was curious about Fu Wenwen's confident demeanor.
"Wherever you go, I can find you. You can try," Fu Wenwen's cold smile made the old woman's heart tighten, instantly suppressing the thought that had just surfaced.
Fu Wenwen watched the old woman, then walked to the door and opened it for her.
The police officers outside had already dispersed. As the old woman stepped out, she looked around and walked away, worried that they would think she had escaped.
A police officer happened to pass by, startling the old woman.
The officer glanced at the old woman. "Go on with your business! We're all watching you!"
Hearing the officer's words, the old woman understood. These officers knew everything. Someone had indeed been keeping an eye on her.
Knowing she could truly leave, the old woman bolted.
Meanwhile, the police officers, having completed their task, returned to Fu Wenwen.
"Comrade Fu, will this really work?"
Several high-ranking officials approached Fu Wenwen, all looking at her. Fu Wenwen nodded. "As long as she sells out the target, by following her, we'll know who is behind it."
"Then how exactly should we proceed?"
The police chief looked at Fu Wenwen, wanting to know her specific plan.
Fu Wenwen simply smiled and remained silent, telling no one.
Using her special privileges and position, Fu Wenwen requested the cooperation of the police bureau. Even when the chief asked, she did not answer, but he dared not say anything further.
Fu Wenwen continuously monitored the old woman. As expected, the old woman was cunning and managed to trick Wei Lan into following her down a dark alley.
At the alley entrance, people were already watching. The moment the old woman appeared, those at the entrance prepared to make their move.
Several men slowly approached Wei Lan. Wei Lan's eyes widened in shock. She was about to shout that she was the eldest daughter of the Wei family when a man slapped her.
The man's blow completely stunned Wei Lan.
Wei Lan was taken into one of the houses in the dark alley. The old woman also went inside. A kindly old man emerged, took a close look at Wei Lan's face, gave the old woman a stack of money, and sent her away.
Wei Lan insisted she was the eldest daughter of the Wei family, but the old man remained unmoved. He instructed his subordinates to treat Wei Lan kindly and then returned to his room.
Fu Wenwen channeled her abilities towards Wei Lan, following her into a room where there were already over a dozen female comrades, all with expressions of terror and fear.
When Wei Lan tried to scream, a female comrade immediately covered her mouth and pointed to a woman lying in the middle.
"Don't scream. The consequence of screaming is being beaten like this."
Wei Lan didn't understand how she had fallen into such a situation. Now that the Wei family had fallen, if she were truly sold, no one would help her.
Unwilling to accept her fate, Wei Lan screamed despite the warnings. The women in the room turned pale with fear and quickly moved away from her.
Two men entered and immediately kicked Wei Lan twice and slapped her hard.
Wei Lan became subdued.
Fu Wenwen looked at the old man. He seemed to be merely a decoy. The old man walked into the inner room, where a man with a ferocious, knife-like face was lounging lazily. Even knowing Wei Lan's identity, the man merely let out a sneer.
"The goods are almost ready. We'll make the transaction tonight."
After overhearing the location and details of the transaction, Fu Wenwen withdrew her abilities.
She left the police bureau for a while and then returned, relaying the information to the chief. His expression changed.
The chief organized all the police officers for the arrest operation that night. Fu Wenwen left calmly.
During the night's raid, the leader 'naturally' escaped.
Fu Wenwen and Lu Chengsen sat on a treetop, watching the leader flee towards the mountains. Fu Wenwen's lips curved.
"See, I told you someone inside would let him go! The ones caught are just cannon fodder," Fu Wenwen said with a smile to Lu Chengsen.
Lu Chengsen chuckled and playfully flicked Fu Wenwen's nose.
"Oracle, what should I do now?"
"Crippling him is enough! Leaving such scum in the world is a waste of food. However, we can't kill him directly, as he still needs to testify!"
"Understood."
Fu Wenwen smiled and sent Lu Chengsen down.
In the dark night, Lu Chengsen moved like a phantom, quickly catching up to the leader and disabling all his limbs. After rendering him unable to resist, he brought him before Fu Wenwen.
"Mission accomplished, please receive."
"Mmm, reward." Fu Wenwen was satisfied and kissed Lu Chengsen.
She slowly walked up to the leader. The leader couldn't believe how he had fallen into the hands of these two.
"I want information about the buyer." Fu Wenwen stated directly.
"You want to get an answer from me? Dream on!" the leader sneered through clenched teeth.
"So rude," Fu Wenwen hummed unhappily.
"I'll do it!" Lu Chengsen put his arm around Fu Wenwen and walked to the side, kissing her and telling her not to be angry.
As the leader's screams echoed behind them, Fu Wenwen looked at the moon in the sky.
The moonlight is so beautiful tonight~
"I'll talk! I'll talk!!!" The leader could no longer endure and finally revealed the information about his superior.
Fu Wenwen wanted to turn back and look at the leader, but Lu Chengsen stopped her.
"It's too bloody, bad for the baby's prenatal education."
"Oh!"
Fu Wenwen obediently turned away.
"Then hand him over to the police!"
"I'll go! You wait here for a moment."
Lu Chengsen threw the crippled leader to the police, and under their disbelieving gazes, he left with Fu Wenwen.
