All irrelevant personnel in the club have been cleared out.
In the mezzanine corridor, people were constantly being helped out by police officers.
They were all young and good-looking boys and girls, wearing only suspender skirts or shorts. Each of them was forced to wear a collar around their neck and was locked in the room with chains used to lock large pets. They looked at the police officers timidly.
- According to the relevant personnel who confessed voluntarily, this is part of the daily training, which is to destroy their "humanity" and make them willingly become the dominated and obedient party and complete every instruction of the "master".
The interrogator took great pains and endured the urge to kick the man down.
The missing senior high school students were among them. Fortunately, they were still in the "training" stage and their mental state was relatively normal.
There was a girl who was taken out of the room. She grabbed the police officer's hand and looked around. Her thin body kept shaking: "There is another one, there is another one... Fu Xiuwang just brought him in today. I didn't see him here. Can you guys look for him again? He won't be in trouble, right? No way!!"
The girl didn’t know what she was recalling. She held her head and shivered: “It’s so painful! It’s so painful! They are not human! Ahhh!”
Li Hao squatted down, took out two pieces of paper, wiped the girl's tears, and gently stroked her back with his palm.
He smiled and comforted her: "He's fine, don't worry."
The girl slowly raised her head, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly burst into tears, tears pouring out, shoulders shaking. All the police officers around were silent, everyone felt powerless in the face of crying, they could not find a word to comfort the girl.
Li Hao stood up, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and walked out the door.
The sky is dark, the stars are twinkling, the lights are bright, and the night is hazy.
White smoke floated out from the cigarette butt, twisting in the wind, and then dissipated.
"I want to make a deal with you."
He said this to Yun Zhou many years ago.
In the messy and dirty room, the lights flickered dimly, there was no bed, all the things were squeezed together, and there were wine bottles everywhere.
He had only a table and a book, but it was torn in half.
This afternoon, Li Hao just sent Yun Zhou's father away.
It wasn't just domestic violence. Yun Zhou didn't tell the police officers until the police car stopped at the door: "I saw photos of naked little boys on his phone."
The man got angry on the spot, and while everyone was shocked, he raised the wine bottle and smashed it on Yun Zhou's head.
"He also stole things." Yun Zhou dodged and slowly took out a bag of things from the corner of the cabinet. "I picked these up to prove that they are not his."
The man started to roar like a madman, kicking and smashing bottles, his eyes red.
Yun Zhou walked towards Li Hao and lifted up his sleeves. His arms were covered with scars, some of which were new wounds caused by glass fragments. The flesh was turned inside out and the scabby blood looked extremely scary because he had secretly run away a few days ago.
He raised his head and asked weakly: "Can you help me?"
After the man was taken away, a police officer stayed behind to comfort the child and record his statement.
Li Hao—Always present.
Yunzhou said he is ten years old.
He said that his father forced him to steal things and cheat money, but he didn't want to, so his father started beating him, didn't let him go to school, and locked him up here. Once, his father went out and didn't come back for several days, leaving him hungry for several days.
"He wanted to sell me. He brought me to my doorstep, stuffed me into a van and knocked me unconscious. On the way, we stopped to refuel. The trafficker thought I was still asleep and got out of the van. That's when I escaped."
"Why didn't you call the police?" the officer asked.
"I reported it, but no one believed me." Yun Zhou said, "He came and explained a few words. Everyone thought I just ran away from home. Later, he was chased by human traffickers and brought to his doorstep to ask for money. The money he had given before was long gone, and he couldn't pay it back."
The police officer fell silent after asking the question. He didn't know what to say. Even he found the experience horrifying, but the child could tell it word for word without changing his expression.
After the meeting, Li Hao let the police officers go first, went to the nearby area to buy a lot of food, and then went back into the dilapidated house.
"What are you going to do next?" Li Hao asked.
"I don't know." Yun Zhou said.
He picked out a bottle of drink from the food, made sure the lid was intact, then unscrewed it and took a sip.
It was an obvious little movement, and Li Hao could naturally see it.
This kid is so calm and mature, and has abilities far beyond his age.
After a moment of silence, Yun Zhou spoke again: "He will probably be sent to an orphanage, right?"
"Well, maybe we can find a new guardian."
Yun Zhou had no expression on his face. He held his chin with his hand and changed the subject: "Will the photos of the little boy in the phone be deleted after the investigation? Are you sure they won't be leaked?"
"I'm sure you know him?"
"I don't really know him. I've only met him once. I'm wondering if I can tell you about this."
"You can tell me about it, and I will help you make a judgment."
Yun Zhou told him something that even Li Hao was still surprised after hearing it.
"But I don't have any evidence." Yun Zhou curled up his legs and rested his chin on his knees. He looked very depressed. He said, "Without evidence, there is nothing we can do."
"I'll help you." Li Hao said.
It was actually not difficult to find evidence for this matter. There were proofs from both parties and the hospital. Later, when the court was in session, Yun Zhou did not have to go to court as he was a minor, but he still came to the scene, glanced at the couple from a distance, and left with Li Muhe.
Later, still in that shabby little house, the night before Yun Zhou was sent to the welfare home, Li Hao said, "I want to make a deal with you."
The word "trading" was too profound for a child, but he believed that the child in front of him could understand it.
He asked the police to come to his home on the pretext of domestic violence, pointed out his crimes on the spot in front of the police and his father, and told the most serious things to the person who was most likely to help him.
Afterwards, he was able to calmly explain the facts and collect the most powerful evidence. All the verbal and physical evidence could make the father, who was not even a scumbag, be convicted of a more serious crime.
He said he had no choice but to save himself; he said he was too young and the law was the only means and weapon; he said everything was on the right track and he didn't want to bother the two professors anymore.
Too calm, too smart, so he must understand the meaning of the word transaction.
"You don't have to go to the orphanage. I can give you a new identity and allow you to receive a higher level of education." Li Hao made many conditions that Yun Zhou couldn't refuse, and finally said, "You have to help me."
His own path has reached a bottleneck, and he also needs help.
No one is more suitable than Yunzhou.
"Okay." Yun Zhou said.
He has read many books and formed his own world view early on. Although some boundaries are still vague and some parts are still naive, he knows what he wants.
This was just a transaction from the beginning.
Changing to a new identity requires changing from head to toe and from inside to outside, so he accepted the courses arranged by Li Hao and made himself another person. He skipped school, fought, and made everyone think that he was an uneducated fool, a middle school boy who could never be cured.
He used his age, harmless identity and personality to contact suspects. No one could find him. The background that Li Hao created for him was perfect. These were enough to confuse them, relax their vigilance, and easily find key intelligence.
— After finishing his cigarette, Li Hao received a call from Li Muhe.
"Why?" Li Muhe questioned him, "Have you always let Xiaohuo do these things?!"
Li Hao took out another cigarette and was about to light it, but after thinking for a moment, he put it back into the cigarette box: "This is an equal exchange."
He knew what his son wanted to ask.
"I let him study, leave his father, and provide him with a living. He helped me collect intelligence. This is just an equal exchange."
“This is perverted logic!!”
Li Hao: "Do you think he is better off living with me, or waiting for his scumbag father in the welfare home?"
"I don't think I have an obligation to raise another child for no reason, nor do I think I have the ability to save his life."
"It's your own choice. Even if you are accused, you have no right to do so, son."
"you… "
Li Hao didn't let Li Muhe continue: "Are you in the hospital now? Take a good look at Xiaohuo, I still have things to deal with here."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The night in the downtown area is not quiet. The wind is very cold, and it feels like being stabbed when it blows into the collar.
Li Hao turned and walked into the club hall to continue handling affairs.
Outside the ward, Li Muhe lowered his hands.
— After receiving the call that Jiang Zhihuo was injured and fainted, he immediately put down the experiment in his hands and rushed to the hospital.
The call was from a police officer who worked next to my father.
This was not difficult for Li Muhe to guess. Xiaohuo was always changing part-time jobs and running around. This time he was sent to the hospital directly in the club where Li Hao led the team.
Jiang Zhihuo didn't tell Li Muhe.
His acting skills are very good, and he can deceive anyone as long as he wants to hide something.
Li Muhe adjusted his mood and walked into the ward.
Yan Mu was standing beside Jiang Zhihuo, along with a girl with a bandage on her head.
Jiang Zhihuo hasn't woken up yet, he is sleeping very soundly. There is gauze on his waist. The wound is very deep, but fortunately his spleen is not injured. He just lost a lot of blood and his mind is tense all the time. He is too tired. Let him sleep for a while, and he can be discharged from the hospital when he wakes up.
Li Muhe went over and gently touched his forehead. Fortunately, everything was normal.
Yan Mu felt a little awkward when he saw Li Muhe. He had a quarrel with Jiang Zhihuo yesterday because he was jealous of Li Muhe.
He Miaomiao felt that there was something wrong with these two people just by sitting next to them. Her woman's intuition told her that there was something fishy going on, but the right thing to do told her that she should leave now.
He Miaomiao suppressed her curiosity and said, "I'm leaving first. I have something else to do at the bureau. Don't worry about me. I just had a cut, not even a concussion. The configuration of the supercar is very good."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand and slipped out.
It's a familiar scene again.
Jiang Zhihuo was lying on the hospital bed, Yan Mu and Li Muhe were sitting together, it was awkward everywhere.
Yan Mu was thinking about what to say when Li Muhe spoke first, "Let's go out and talk."
Yan Mu nodded.
After the two walked out of the ward, Jiang Zhihuo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, opened his eyes.
Since they said they wanted to go out and talk, who cares what they want to talk about? Anyway, they won’t be able to come in for a while. The hospital corridor is not suitable for chatting. There is a small space at the end which is suitable for talking loudly.
Jiang Zhihuo had woken up a long time ago. He had closed his eyes for so long that the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
And you still say he's not a stand-in? ? Holding his hand and calling someone else's name?
Now that I think about it, it was very suspicious when Yan Mu said that Bai Yueguang’s matter could not be explained.
What's so hard to explain?!
How simple it is, I will never forget it!
Can Bai Yueguang still be called Bai Yueguang if he can forget her?!
Jiang Zhihuo felt unhappy no matter how he thought about it.
This love relationship has no future, and the relationship cannot continue. Before breaking up, he has to find out who that damn Xiao Zhou is! !
Angry - He jumped out of bed and changed his clothes quickly.
The belt on his waist did not hinder his walking. Jiang Zhihuo pushed open the door and took a look. Sure enough, Yan Mu and Li Muhe were at the end of the corridor. He did not hesitate and strode directly to the elevator.
Send messages while walking.
Wen Da was originally having a good time in the bar. Qu Xiao was flirting with girls, and he acted as a wingman to get drinks.
Shin suddenly sent them a message asking where they were and that he wanted to come over.
Qu Xiao is a straightforward person, with only girls on his mind. Hearing that Shin is coming to find him, he is very happy, and here he comes as a wingman!!
As a result, they saw a fierce Shin, with the cold air freezing on his surface. When he entered the room, the atmosphere in the entire box became cold.
This aura was exactly the same as when Yan Shao was angry, and Wen Daqu Xiao was stunned for a moment.
"Girls," Shin said, "let's borrow these two handsome guys in there for a few minutes."
Then Shin called the two frightened people out of the box.
"What's wrong?" Qu Xiao asked, "You'll have to deduct your salary if you treat your boss like this!"
"— I won't calculate this again, I just want to ask— a question." Jiang Zhihuo said, "Who is Yan Mu's white moonlight?"
The author has something to say: Brother Huo: The damn boat turned out to be me?
Sorry for being late! Love you babes!
