This was the first time Lin Cheng saw Lin Momo crying like this.
Before, even when the tobacco shop owner in the vegetable market framed and arrested her, the girl was afraid but brave enough not to cry.
Listening to Lin Momo's crying of fear and grievance, Lin Cheng's heart felt like something was grabbing him.
Faced with such a Lin Momo, Lin Cheng, who had never had any experience in coaxing children, felt a little at a loss. In the end, he could only pat Lin Momo's head to comfort her.
"It's okay, don't be afraid." Lin Cheng comforted Lin Momo gently.
The apparently unfamiliar comfort miraculously worked - Lin Momo, who was lying in Lin Cheng's arms, gradually stopped crying, and after sobbing softly for a few times, Lin Momo completely calmed down, and her emotions seemed to be much calmer than before.
"Don't be afraid anymore." Lin Cheng said repeatedly.
Lin Momo nodded slightly, but still held Lin Cheng's clothes tightly and was unwilling to let go.
It seemed as if as long as he loosened his grip, those terrible things would happen again.
Lin Cheng patted Lin Momo's head gently again.
At this moment, Wang Zhou walked in.
"Master, these are some information we found here." Wang Zhou said as he handed a stack of information to Lin Chengzhong.
This records some superficial information about the "Moonlight Poetry Society" and some unknown secrets in the dark.
—On the surface, this is just an ordinary club. Except for the higher consumption and the fact that the guests are either rich or noble, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. However, the real secret is hidden in this underground floor.
The club took advantage of the height difference "blind spot" below to build such a mezzanine space between the first floor and the parking garage below.
Only guests of special levels of the club are aware of and are qualified to enter this floor.
In this dark space, as long as the guests are willing to spend money, they can enjoy any "service" they want and satisfy their perverted "wishes".
Looking at the special services that the 'Moonlight Poetry Festival' was providing to special guests today and only today, Lin Cheng showed an expression of extreme disgust on his face. He closed the information and didn't want to read it anymore.
On the side, a man who was under control finally calmed down after struggling in vain.
Everyone looked at Lin Cheng, then at the surrounding situation, feeling strange in their hearts - this person brought people to the underground first floor, but the boss of the 'Moonlight Poetry Club' didn't show up like a turtle, which was strange. And these fierce waiters specially hired by the surrounding clubs were standing quietly by the side, and none of them dared to move, which was even stranger.
There is only one explanation, that is, the identity of the man in front of him is special, even the boss of the "Moonlight Poetry Club" does not dare to offend him easily.
Thinking of this, the people who had been arrogant before looked at Lin Cheng, with a bit more fear and dread on their faces.
Among the crowd, the man in black who was leading the group, kneeled down and tried to move a few steps closer to Lin Cheng.
"What industry does this friend work in?" The man in the glasses forced a smile at Lin Chengqiang, lowered his posture, and said, "Look, my friend, everyone who can come here is not a person without status. If there is any misunderstanding, I apologize first. If there is anything to say, we can talk it out. Maybe we can still be friends in the future. Don't hurt the harmony because of a misunderstanding."
After saying that, the man in the mirror secretly glanced at Lin Momo who was held by Lin Cheng, and wondered if the boss didn't get enough supplies this time and accidentally offended someone he shouldn't have.
Hearing what the man in the mirror said, a hint of sarcasm flashed across Lin Cheng's eyes.
"Identity?" Lin Cheng looked at the other person coldly and asked, "What do you think your identity is?"
"I..." The man in the mirror was choked by Lin Cheng's words.
Just as the man in the mirror didn't know how to answer Lin Cheng's question, Lin Cheng threw the stack of information in his hand directly on the ground in front of the man in the mirror with a "pop" sound, and asked coldly: "Rich man? Important official? Or a so-called celebrity?"
Among the people at the scene, there were not only presidents and senior executives of well-known companies in City C, but also important figures with complex social connections. What was even more ridiculous was that there was even a well-known philanthropist hiding among them.
The internal document in Lin Cheng's eyes clearly recorded the real identities, membership information and consumption records of these people.
Judging from the consumption records, this is not the first time these people have come here.
After seeing their information recorded in the file below, the man in the mirror and the man behind him finally showed expressions of fear and their faces turned pale.
This was the first time he had seen this thing - he had never expected that this club would leave such a thing for him after receiving him.
At this time, there was only one thought in everyone's mind, that is, these things must not be known to others.
Once the above information is exposed, his career, his family, his life, and his reputation and fame in the outside world will all be ruined.
"No, this information is absolutely fake. I have never done any of this!" One of them panicked and denied it flatly.
The other person also looked at Lin Cheng and tried to explain: "Misunderstandings, these are all misunderstandings."
"Yes, it's all a misunderstanding. Please, let me go."
The person who seemed so glamorous outside now looked like an animal, kneeling on the ground, making a mess and explaining and begging for mercy.
One of them suddenly thought of something and said, "Well, I didn't do anything. I asked those kids to come just to watch the performance. Yes, to watch the performance. I was going to shoot a TV series, no, a TV show. I asked them to come here to select child stars."
The people around him echoed: "Yes, yes, yes! That's right, we are selecting child stars!"
Even the staff of the club nearby couldn't stand listening to these people's despicable lies and turned their heads away silently.
On this side, even Chen Yu couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to kick the man in the mirror in front hard.
"You are a bunch of devils! Shameless scum! How dare you tell such a lie!"
The man in the mirror kicked him down and wailed in pain, but still insisted, "I was just selecting child stars, I didn't do anything else..."
At this time, the man with the mirror was still hoping for a lucky break and thinking: He hasn't done anything yet, and the previous information can be said to be fake. As long as he refuses to admit it, Lin Cheng can't do anything to him.
Lin Cheng looked coldly at the still restless man below, then looked at the cage next to him. He asked the people below to take the child out, and then threw this man back in.
"You! You can't do this! You are illegally doing this! It's an insult to your character!"
"I'm illegal?" Lin Cheng sneered: "You'd better save these words for the police."
The police had already arrived at the Moonlight Poetry Festival.
Those people who were still on the underground floor did not know that the entire club had been sealed off and completely cleared inside and out.
The club's boss was not a coward who dared not come out, but the situation was already under his control and there was nothing he could do to save the situation.
Soon, the police controlled the situation above and came to the underground floor.
Seeing the police appear, the man who was "invited" into the cage suddenly changed his expression, and showed a look of complete despair on his face.
The man covered his face with his hands, as if trying to avoid being recorded by the law enforcement camera.
But there was still one person who refused to give up and shouted at the police.
"Comrade police, I am just an ordinary customer who came here to drink tea. This group of people suddenly rushed in. I don't know anything."
"Yes! I was framed. Someone wanted to harm me!"
…
The police have cracked down on many similar gangs in these areas one after another. Therefore, when the police saw the scene, they had no idea what was going on.
"You are worse than pigs and dogs!" The young policeman glared at the man and cursed.
The leading police officer also gave that man a cold look, and seemed to be instructing his officers to conduct an on-site investigation.
The one who still refused to accept the fact began to resist and throw a tantrum.
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
Lin Momo raised her head from Lin Cheng's shoulder and turned her head to the side.
The next second, before Lin Momo could see clearly what was happening around her, Lin Cheng covered his eyes.
After handing over the work at the scene to the police and leaving Wang Zhou and others at the scene, Lin Cheng left alone holding Lin Momo.
Such a scene is not suitable for children, and he doesn't want to leave any more shadow on Lin Momo.
Before leaving, Lin Cheng glanced at the dozen or so children who were still in a trance in the corner of the room, and reminded the leading police officer: "Those children should be sent to the doctor for examination."
Lin Cheng might not have thought about these things before, but maybe because he has been with Lin Momo for a long time, Lin Cheng pays more attention to and cares about the child.
After hearing Lin Cheng's words, the police officer in charge also noticed that the children's conditions were obviously abnormal.
It's not like he hasn't encountered such situations in his past work, but when he thought that the victims this time were all underage children, the police officer's face suddenly darkened.
"Damn you!" The police officer cursed, walked over, found a staff member at the scene and asked, "What did you feed the child? Where is the remaining medicine?"
The fat body of the man who was caught trembled, and he quickly shook his head and denied it: "What medicine? There is no medicine. I don't know anything."
The reason why he had been able to run his business here for so long was because he was careful enough with the details - those drugs were specially prepared in order to keep the 'cargo' safe. Generally, if there were a few 'cargoes', he would only prepare a few, and would not have any extra, and would not leave any clues for investigation.
"What medicine? I have no idea. I came here just to watch the kids' performance. The rest was done by the club. I was completely unaware of it!" Hearing the word 'medicine', the man who was under control also began to argue.
At this moment, Lin Momo, who was lying in Lin Cheng's arms, suddenly moved, took out the pill she had hidden before from her sleeve, and handed it to the leading police officer.
"Is this what he fed you before?" the police officer asked.
Lin Momo nodded.
The police officer sniffed the pill at the tip of his nose, then scraped some off with his fingernails and tried it on the tip of his tongue. His expression suddenly became even uglier.
"Shut up, the evidence is irrefutable, what else are you trying to argue about?!"
Lin Cheng and the police officer here nodded and left with Lin Momo.
Lin Cheng carried Lin Momo out of the club. It was a little uncomfortable to suddenly walk from the darkness to the bright outside.
Fortunately, Lin Cheng's eyes were always covering Lin Momo's eyes, so she didn't feel uncomfortable.
"Dad..." Lin Momo called Lin Cheng softly and pulled Lin Cheng's legs apart a little.
"What's wrong?"
"Have all the bad guys been caught by the police?" Lin Momo asked in a low voice.
"Yes, we've arrested them all, and won't let any of them go." Lin Cheng replied in a firm tone: He only hoped that in this child's consciousness, the world was still beautiful and just.
Hearing Lin Cheng's sincere answer, Lin Momo seemed to be relieved, and her tense body relaxed a bit. She nodded and buried her head in Lin Cheng's arms again.
—
After a while, feeling that Lin Momo's emotions seemed to have stabilized, Lin Cheng wanted to put her down.
After all, he is not the child's real father, so it is not appropriate to hold him in arms all the time.
Just as Lin Cheng called Lin Momo to come down, he found that the girl in his arms had fallen asleep.
Helpless, Lin Cheng had to carry Lin Momo to the car.
Chen Yu behind him still had a complicated expression on his face. He didn't expect that after following Lin Cheng out, he would experience something he had never experienced in his life.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that such a scum and beast was actually right next to him, and that he still had a glamorous identity in front of others.
"What a bunch of inhuman beasts! These people should go to jail!" Chen Yu cursed in a low voice.
Thinking of something, Chen Yu frowned again and said nervously: "Will these scums be trained for a while and then run out to continue to harm others?"
After all, those people are not simple in terms of financial resources or power.
At this moment, Lin Cheng, who was sitting in the front row, suddenly spoke up and said, "No."
Those who are in there should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment, no one can escape.
Lin Cheng's tone didn't fluctuate much, but it was very firm.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Chen Yu subconsciously believed it, but there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Lin Cheng.
—The fact that the Moonlight Poetry Society can exist in so many places in City C without causing any trouble must mean that the forces and complicated relationships behind it are not simple. But just now, Lin Cheng made a phone call and the people from the Moonlight Poetry Society opened the door for him, and they didn't even dare to say a word about his intrusion.
Meanwhile, the clubhouse that had stood for so many years was closed down in a matter of minutes.
Although the closure of such a den of evil was inevitable, it would not have been possible for anyone else to deal with it so quickly.
—What is Brother Cheng’s background that he has such a weird thing going on
Chen Yu stole a glance at Lin Cheng, thinking to himself.
Then, Chen Yu's sight fell on Lin Momo again.
"Brother Cheng, this child..." How to deal with it
Chen Yu pointed at Lin Momo and asked Lin Cheng - after all, he was the one who found this child.
Lin Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Momo. Although the girl was asleep at this moment, she was still clutching his sleeve anxiously.
This look is heartbreaking.
"I will take care of it, you don't have to worry about it." Lin Cheng said in a deep voice.
"All right…
"In addition," Lin Cheng paused and continued, "The subsequent filming of the show will be postponed."
Hearing this, Chen Yu's expression changed.
"This... But..." At this moment, Chen Yu thought of the penalty for breach of contract by the program team, the possible punishment from the company, and the endorsement that might fail...
However, facing Lin Cheng's attitude that could not be refuted, Chen Yu was scared and nodded: "Okay... I, I will go and talk to the company and the program team."
"You go back first." Lin Cheng said.
"Okay... Then, I'll trouble Brother Cheng to take care of this child." After Chen Yu finished speaking, he left with a worried look on his face.
—
After a while, the people in the club were taken away one after another by police cars, and the entire club was completely sealed off.
Wang Zhou came to the front of the car.
"Master, things inside have been dealt with." Wang Zhou reported.
Lin Cheng nodded: "Get in the car."
"yes."
The car drove away from the club.
In the car, Wang Zhou reported the follow-up situation to Lin Cheng again.
"The police will report this matter later. Considering that the victims are all children, the police will keep the children's information strictly confidential."
The victims were all underage children, the evidence was irrefutable, and this was not the first time those people had come here to pay for special services, which added fuel to the fire.
The final verdict will definitely be a serious crime.
In addition, if this matter is announced publicly, those people will not have any chance to turn the tables or manipulate things behind the scenes.
And the identities of the people involved are not simple.
Wang Zhou could already imagine that once the police notice came out, it would be a piece of news that would shock the whole society.
However, those scumbags 'deserve' such 'treatment'.
Wang Zhou snorted in his heart.
Lin Cheng took Lin Momo away first, and he stayed inside.
Among those little girls, some were lost recently, some were abducted and sold, and some were left-behind children who were deceived.
After receiving the notification from the police, some parents rushed over.
Seeing the situation of their children, those parents were furious, and when the police 'accidentally' failed to hold them back, they rushed forward and started punching and kicking those scumbags.
Most of these parents were migrant workers, strong and sturdy, and they ganged up on them and almost beat those scumbags to death.
Wang Zhou looked at Lin Momo, who was safe and sound in Lin Cheng's arms, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief: Fortunately, the young lady is fine.
"Master, the old man is on the way." Wang Zhou said to Lin Cheng.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng frowned slightly and asked, "What is he doing here?" Grandpa Lin has nothing to do here.
"The old man is nervous and wants to come and see the child."
Without waiting for Lin Cheng to refuse, Wang Zhou quickly said, "The old man feels very guilty about this matter."
Grandpa Lin had clearly acknowledged Lin Momo as his great-grandson, but because he was afraid that Lin Momo would find out, he did not send anyone to protect Lin Momo in time, which led to Lin Momo being in danger.
Mr. Lin felt very guilty about this.
In fact, due to his health problems, he didn't take care of the family affairs, which made Lin Cheng suffer from stepmother's schemes at a young age and even suffered a lot outside. For this matter, Mr. Lin has been blaming himself.
Seeing that Lin Momo almost got into trouble this time, the old man felt even more guilty.
Hearing Wang Zhou's words, Lin Cheng's eyes moved slightly, but his expression became more gloomy.
"This is not my child. He is nervous in the wrong direction." Lin Cheng emphasized again.
After hearing Lin Cheng's words, Wang Zhou's expression became complicated.
"My Lord..."
"Here's a report, you..." You'd better take a look.
As Wang Zhou spoke, he took out a report from his bag and handed it to Lin Chengzhong.
This is a paternity test report.
The objects of appraisal are Lin Cheng and Lin Momo.
—After Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finished recording the show, their people took great pains and finally found some test samples at the location where the filming took place.
The report came out early this morning and he just got it.
The reason why I didn’t have time to show this appraisal report to Lin Cheng before.
Firstly, it was because the situation was urgent and he hadn't taken care of it, and secondly... he was afraid that Lin Cheng would see the report in advance, and after knowing the truth, he would lose control of the situation and beat those scum to death.
…
