Siheyuan Shangpeng

Chapter 73 Human Traffickers

Shang Peng said hurriedly: "Dad, this matter was really not caused by my brother and me." Then he told his father what they found. His father frowned and asked: "Are you two sure? This is not a joke, right? Don't let your junior master-master get a group of people together and it turns out to be a misunderstanding. Then your junior master-master will be embarrassed!"

Shang Peng said: "No, it is basically certain. I will go to Junior Uncle to wait for news from Big Brother. It is best if it is a misunderstanding. You know how hateful human traffickers are. It is better to believe it than not."

Father Shang looked at Shang Peng and said, "Okay, human traffickers are hateful, but you two should be careful. Go find your junior uncle quickly. I will accompany your mother and the others home first. I will not look for you. There are people at home, and I am worried about your mother being left alone."

"Well, Dad, don't worry. After all, I am a member of the Young Pioneers. I have no problem protecting myself. Besides, I am just the messenger. I won't charge into the front. Hehe..."

"Go ahead, and come back soon after you're done."

"Okay, Dad, I'm leaving now." After saying that, he ran to his junior master uncle.

Father Shang smiled as he watched Shang Peng running away, then caught up with Mother Shang and the others. Shang Xue also looked at her brother's back as he ran away, blessing him silently in her heart.

When she got home, Shang's mother found that her eldest son and the third son had not returned. She asked Shang's father if he had seen them. Shang's father said that his family had gone to play in Sijiu City and he had told him about it. Shang's mother complained, "These two children, they go out to play without taking the younger one with them."

Shang Xue came up and said with a smile: "They are both so old now, who likes to take care of children? Mom, just don't worry about them, don't you have me to accompany you!"

Mother Shang smiled and replied, "Xiaoxue is sensible, unlike those naughty monkeys. Ignore them and let's go home."

Shang Peng came to the junior uncle's office, where Wu Li was on duty. Because it was the New Year period and the pressure was quite high, Wu Li hadn't been home for a week. His wife and children came to the institute to celebrate the New Year. However, a group of family members basically came to the institute, and everyone had a happy time.

After registering at the door, Shang Peng went straight to Junior Uncle Wu Li's office and barged in without knocking. Wu Li was reading a document and was startled when Shang Peng came in. When he found out it was Shang Peng, he laughed and scolded, "You naughty monkey, how come you barged in without knocking? Aren't you afraid that I will arrest you?"

"Uncle Junior, stop messing around. I have something important to do." Then he reported his and Shang Qi's findings to Wu Li.

Wu Li looked at Shang Peng's serious expression. After listening to his report, he immediately became serious and said to Shang Peng: "If it's true, you will have made a contribution. The document was sent down the day before yesterday. Recently, there is a group of human traffickers in Sijiu City who steal children while people are buying New Year's goods and visiting temple fairs. Now there is no clue. I will report to the leader immediately. Now we will gather people and try to catch them all in one fell swoop." After that, he grabbed the phone on the desk and picked it up to report.

Shang Peng quickly stopped him and said, "Uncle Master, this matter has not been confirmed yet. It won't be too late for you to report it when my eldest brother brings the letter. If you report it in a hurry and it turns out to be a misunderstanding, you will be embarrassed!"

Wu Li thought for a moment and replied, "No, if it were you, I would wait a little longer, but since your eldest brother said it's suspicious, it's almost certain. Report it sooner, mobilize the troops sooner, and arrest them sooner. The later the child is, the more danger he will face. I'm not afraid of losing face, but the most important thing now is to save the child."

After saying that, he picked up the phone again and reported to his superior without waiting for Shang Peng to reply. His superior also attached great importance to it and said that he would contact other branches immediately and have several people arrive at the branch where Wu Li was within an hour, and then take action.

Half an hour later, the first wave of people arrived. At this moment, a young man ran to the door of the branch and shouted to the guard at the door: "I want to see Director Wu Li. Someone named Shang Qi asked me to bring a message." The guard at the door had received Wu Li's instructions and immediately brought people to Wu Li's office.

The man saw Wu Li and said, "I was stopped by a man named Shang Qi at the west city gate. He told me to tell you that he has left the west city gate and asked you to go quickly." He looked around the room and saw that several people looked excited. He then said, "Um, are they trying to catch enemy spies? Can I help?"

Wu Li smiled and said, "Comrade, I'm sorry, we are not trying to catch enemy spies. We are conducting a drill. You have helped us. We will thank you. Please register with our comrades and then you can go about your business. Thank you!"

When the visitor heard that there was nothing for him to do, he followed the staff out.

Wu Li immediately began to report to his superior and asked for permission to set off immediately. His superior approved the request and told Wu Li to leave someone in the bureau to guide the comrades who would arrive later.

Wu Li put down the phone, gave instructions to the bureau, and prepared to set off with his men. Within an hour, people arrived one after another. Wu Li did not delay and set off immediately with his men.

Wu Li did not let them go together, but separated them and agreed to meet at a fork in the road outside the Lixi City Gate. As for Shang Peng? He should go home honestly. He could not be brought along at this time. Shang Peng had no choice but to walk home in a depressed mood.

It took Wu Li and his companions more than 20 minutes to reach the meeting place. When they arrived at the meeting place, Wu Li found an old farmer driving a donkey cart standing on the side of the road, looking around. When he saw Wu Li in his attire, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Are you Director Wu Li? There's a man named Shang Qi who asked me to tell you that he went in the opposite direction of his hometown and asked you to go find him. He also said not to worry or something!"

Wu Li thanked the old farmer and led his men to the southwest fork in the road. As he walked, he thought, "This is the opposite direction of Shangqi's hometown. Fortunately, I know your family is in the northeast. Every day."

While walking, we observed whether there were any marks along the way. When we passed a fork in the road, we found the marks made by Shang Qi. It was a retired soldier in the institute who found it and said that this was a unique method used by scouts.

Wu Li cursed Shang Qi in his heart again. If there were no scouts, he wouldn't know that. In fact, Shang Qi didn't know that Wu Li didn't bring Shang Peng with him. Shang Peng knew this sign!

After driving for a while, they passed a village and suddenly a man jumped out of an abandoned courtyard on the roadside. Wu Li saw that it was Shang Qi and asked hurriedly, "How is it? Are you sure?"

Shang Qi nodded and said, "Confirmed. I roughly observed that there are 5 adults and 3 children inside. I think some people haven't come back yet. Let's take action first and catch them one by one when they come back. We have to do it as soon as possible. I'm afraid that more people will come back later and it will be difficult to deal with them then."
