Chapter 377
“If Ye Zhi hadn’t become a star, she would never have had the chance to return to the Sheng family. Instead, it would have been the culprit’s daughter enjoying everything from the Sheng family— how terrible!”
“I hope Ye Zhi will be safe in the future. I want her to have a smooth life and don’t suffer any more harm!”
At the press conference, after Nie Jiqing finished speaking, the police officers who were investigating the case also came by.
On behalf of the police station, Officer Qi made an announcement to the public, “With the criminal suspect Liu Cang arrested, the police department has solved a large number of trafficking cases.”
From the abduction case of Ye Zhi, a good amount of human trafficking cases were found to directly involve Liu Cang. With the help of Liu Cang’s competent skills, Ye Zhi was sold to a small village that the Sheng family could not locate back then.
Over the years, Liu Cang had been wandering around and committing crimes. As his whereabouts were constantly changing, the police were uncertain about locating him. Coupled with the fact that the police were understaffed, these factors made it rather difficult to find him.
The Gu family contributed a lot of manpower and material resources to help find those missing people. The Gu family also requested for their involvement to not be publicly disclosed by the police.
With the help of the Gu family, Liu Cang’s current location was determined and he finally fell into the hands of the law.
[Extraordinary human trafficking cases solved, many victims have now returned home]
The news was broadcasted live on TV and on the Internet.
Officer Qi stood in front of the camera and read out the list of victims.
Wang XX, male. He was only five years old when he was abducted, but now he was already fifteen years old. In order to find him, his parents have exhausted ten years worth of their family’s finances and searched all over the country.
Qian X, female. She had just been admitted to graduate school when she was kidnapped. Six years later, she attempted running away several times but to no avail. She gave birth to two children, but was now returned to her parents.
Chen XX, male. He was in middle school when he was kidnapped. Twenty years later, he was able to return home. His father developed Alzheimer’s disease, so for the past years, he would walk to the gates of the house every evening to wait for his son to come home.
…
More stories of the victims were reported. Although they were finally able to return home after so many years, it did not make up for the time that they have lost.
Officer Qi held back his tears as he read the list. He was personally involved in every case that was listed here, and the scenes of the victims returning home lingered in his mind.
Sometimes, the world was beautiful because someone took on the responsibility of tackling the darkness.
And they were willing to be the ones who represented justice.
This conference had become the focus of tonight and everyone was watching the news carefully.
Tonight’s trending searches were not occupied by stars nor artists. Everyone was watching the dynamics of this case— some were angry because of the sins of human nature, but some were in tears because of the reunion of their relatives.
“Severely punish the traffickers!”
“I hope Ye Zhi has a safe life henceforth.”
“Hopefully every family can be reunited.”
That night, the heavy tension suffocated the night. With the tense atmosphere, many found it hard to understand the darkness behind the light of this world.
