Rebirth of Siheyuan: Starting from escaping famine in 42

I don’t know how long it took.

Li Qingfeng noticed that a group of people were coming towards him at the street corner, so he said to Li Xiang beside him: "Xiangzi, there is a group of people coming at the street corner. Can you tell if it is Captain Liu or Inspector Liu?"

Hearing this, Li Xiang looked towards the street corner and vaguely saw a group of people rushing towards this side. He nodded and said, "Got it, Captain Li."

Two or three minutes passed.

Li Xiang led Liu Meng and all the police officers from the second team over.

Liu Meng took out a cigarette and asked Li Qingfeng, "Old Li, what's the mission? Do we need to go out together?"

"Old Liu, stop smoking." Li Qingfeng waved at Liu Meng as he took out a cigarette, then pointed to the residence of the traffickers and said softly, "We have found the trafficker gang. They are right there. Chief Liu has gone to notify Director Wu."

Liu Meng was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Really?"

"Really." Li Qingfeng nodded, and his attention returned to the traffickers' residence. He continued, "Old Liu, assign all the police officers from your second team to the vicinity of the courtyard. It's not good to crowd here."

"Got it." Liu Meng nodded and turned to give the police officers of the second team some instructions.

Like Li Qingfeng, he only left two police officers behind, and the rest went to the left and right and back of the courtyard where the traffickers lived.

About half an hour later, Li Qingfeng noticed from the corner of his eye that another group of people had arrived at the corner of the street. They should be Liu Chuanzhi and his father-in-law.

"Old Liu, Chief Liu and Director Wu are here with their team. Let's go and greet them."

After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, he led Liu Meng and walked towards his father-in-law and his group.

When he got closer, he saw that in addition to Liu Chuanzhi and Wu Chenggui, Li Qingfeng also found several former colleagues from the police station, so he nodded and greeted them.

He turned to Liu Chuanzhi and Wu Chenggui and said, "Director Wu, Chief Liu."

Liu Meng also followed behind and greeted: "Director Wu, Chief Liu."

"Well, let's talk as we go."

Wu Chenggui then asked Li Qingfeng: "Qingfeng, what's the situation? Do you know where the children are?"

As Li Qingfeng walked, he whispered, "Director Wu, there is nothing unusual about the human traffickers. The child is in the underground secret room of the main house in the backyard, and the entrance is under the closet in the house."

"The traffickers were playing cards in the east wing of the front yard. I don't know if they have moved to another room now."

The group arrived at the front door surveillance point.

Wu Chenggui first looked around the traffickers' residence, raised his hand to check the time, and then said to the group, "The time is now 1:20 in the morning. We have to arrest the traffickers in five minutes."

"Police officers monitoring the surrounding areas should not withdraw, as the traffickers may escape by jumping over the wall."

"Qingfeng, you are familiar with the courtyard, climb over the wall and open the door for us."

"I led the team to the room where the traffickers were to arrest them, while Lao Liu led colleagues from the police station to the backyard to rescue the children."

"Check your weapons. You are allowed to shoot if necessary."

"Is everything clear?"

"Listen clearly."

Li Qingfeng and his group straightened up and responded in unison.

Five minutes passed quickly.

Led by Li Qingfeng, the group tiptoed towards the residence of the human traffickers.

When he reached the wall, Li Qingfeng exerted force with his feet, climbed up the wall with both hands, exerted force with his arms, and stretched his head to observe the situation in the yard.

Using his mind power to observe that the human traffickers were all fast asleep, Li Qingfeng climbed onto the top of the wall, turned his head and nodded to Wu Chenggui and his group below, signaling them to wait at the door.

Then Li Qingfeng swiftly climbed down the wall, came to the gate of the courtyard, gently opened the door, and stepped aside to let Wu Chenggui and his party enter the courtyard.

Li Qingfeng pointed to the two rooms in the front yard, leaned close to Wu Chenggui's ear, and whispered, "Director Wu, the traffickers are all in these two rooms, three on the left and two on the right."

"There are homemade explosives and two pistols in the left room, a pistol on the right, and the rest are daggers and the like."

Wu Chenggui heard this. He didn't care how Li Qingfeng found out about this. He just wanted to catch the traffickers as soon as possible. He nodded and said softly, "I understand. Qingfeng, take Lao Liu to the back to rescue the children!"

"Yes!" Li Qingfeng gave Liu Chuanzhi a look, indicating that he should follow him, and then he went to the backyard first.

Liu Chuanzhi followed Li Qingfeng into the backyard and asked softly, "Qingfeng, do the people in the backyard know?"

Li Qingfeng used his mind to look inside the backyard house and found that the four women were still there in the evening. They were all sleeping in the backyard houses. He turned his head and said softly, "Lao Liu, I observed three women in the evening. I don't know if anyone has come now."

Hearing this, Liu Chuanzhi nodded and said, "Got it. Try to be careful!"

Liu Chuanzhi then explained their respective tasks: "Qingfeng will lead Team One to rescue the children, and Liu Meng will lead Team Two to capture the human traffickers in each room."

Li Qingfeng, Liu Meng and the others did not speak, but nodded in response to Liu Chuanzhi.

Liu Chuanzhi waved his hand and said, "Action."

Following Liu Chuanzhi's order, Li Qingfeng and his team went to carry out their respective tasks.

Li Qingfeng slowly opened the door, took out his gun, and said to Li Xiang: "Subdue the human trafficker on the bed."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard shouts coming from the yard: "Don't move, don't move."

When Li Qingfeng and Liu Chuanzhi heard the sound, they looked at each other and quickly walked into the room. They immediately found that the two traffickers on the bed had woken up. They raised their hands and pointed their guns at the two of them, saying sternly, "Don't move."

He turned to the police officer beside him and said, "Xiangzi, Qiangzi, let them put on their clothes and keep an eye on them in the yard."

"Yes."

Li Xiang and Ma Qiang responded at the same time and shouted to the two traffickers on the bed, "Hurry up and put on your clothes."

Li Qingfeng and Liu Chuanzhi came to the wardrobe, and they worked together to move the wardrobe aside and open the entrance and exit of the secret room.

"Lao Liu, don't go down, pick up the child upstairs."

After Li Qingfeng finished speaking, he was the first to go down the secret room. Looking at the children in the secret room, they were all crying and looking at him with horror.

Li Qingfeng's eyes were red, and he said to the children softly, "Don't be afraid, kids. I'm a police officer and I'm here to save you."

When the children in the secret room heard what Li Qingfeng said, they immediately looked at Li Qingfeng vaguely, but no child dared to step forward and ask.

After a long while, when Li Qingfeng was about to speak, he heard a voice like a yellow warbler coming from among the children.

"Are you really a police officer? Are you here to save us? Have you caught all the bad guys outside?"

Li Qingfeng looked in the direction of the voice and found a little girl about ten years old with a little baby fat. She was very cute, but the bruises on her face ruined her delicate face.

Damn human traffickers, they deserve to be cut into pieces.

Li Qingfeng took a deep breath, walked up to her, squatted down and rubbed her little head, and said softly to the little girl: "The bad guys have been caught, don't worry, you are all safe now."

"And what's your name? You were very brave just now."

The little girl raised her head proudly and replied, "Uncle, my name is Lou Xiao'e."
