CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 229: WAR BEGINS, ONE PERSON AGAINST THE ENTIRE VILLAGE_2

"Officer, I report him... he used excessive violence in law enforcement."

Yan Xiaofeng, on the verge of tears, pointed at Han Tiesheng beside him, but no one paid him any attention.

"Zhang Wei? What happened?"

Han Tiesheng saw Zhang Wei on the ground with blood all over his head and his expression changed instantly.

"Who did this?"

He immediately glanced at the village chief not far away. Luckily, Luo Fei was holding him back, or else he would have charged forward.

A few minutes later, armed police officers and criminal investigation unit members rushed in and surrounded the area.

Luo Fei looked at Zhao Donglai and the others and finally let out a rare long breath.

"Well done!"

Zhao Donglai came up and gave Luo Fei a hearty hug.

The crowd quickly got to work, placing Zhang Wei on a stretcher and taking him away. The accompanying doctor gave a preliminary examination, and apart from a concussion, his scalp was merely injured; the situation wasn’t too serious...

All the villagers were controlled, and the village chief was also handcuffed.

Zhao Donglai looked at the bewildered villagers present, and his tone became unfathomably serious.

"Ignorance is not an excuse for your rampant behavior. Attacking police officers with village backing and even shouting about killing is a challenge to the nation, society, and the people. Who do you think you are? Such audacity!"

"Regarding your actions, higher authorities will address them. This remote mountain is no longer your shelter, and forming cliques is no longer your privilege. As for human trafficking and collusion with traffickers, only law can judge."

After saying this, Zhao Donglai prepared to leave with his team.

He glanced one last time at Luo Fei, covered in smoke and dust, and sighed softly, truly feeling for the other.

Only injuries, no fatalities; this battle was not easy.

Two of his subordinates came, one fought bravely, and the other injured and unconscious—how could he not feel the pain?

Back at the Guangze City Bureau, the leaders deeply reviewed the mountain operation, acknowledging significant shortcomings in grassroots education and cultural guidance, ending in tears, nearly leading to a resignation.

Zhao Donglai and his team naturally said nothing more; ultimately, it was good that the matter was finally resolved.

Luo Fei stayed in the hospital room, and Han Tiesheng and Qi Tongwei brought food as they entered and sat beside him.

While accompanying Zhang Wei, Luo Fei asked Qi Tongwei.

"Did you gain anything in the city these past two days?"

"We heard from a Yan Xiaofeng informant that recently, his older brothers and other gang members were staying in the city to monitor police activities."

Qi Tongwei nodded solemnly.

"Indeed, we discovered some leads, some lodging records of outsiders in certain hotels and inns, and they spread across urban villages and several inconspicuous motels in the city, using Yun Dian Province ID cards, so we quickly tracked them down."

"Unfortunately, these people fled too quickly!"

As he said this, Qi Tongwei regrettably punched his own leg.

"They move faster than us; the moment we dispatched, they seemed to have received intel and fled without taking anything."

"However, we found some files at their residence."

"They left behind handwritten materials in a hurry; I took pictures."

He then sent the photos to Luo Fei and the others.

The photos showed several handwritten draft papers, marked with dates and some strange numbers corresponding to male and female, likely prices for human trafficking.

"These beasts!"

Han Tiesheng also showed a gloomy expression.

No one can imagine how many such transactions these guys have conducted.

Then Luo Fei saw the back of the draft paper, showing several supply chain data, presumably dates, but with some unmarked numbers below, resembling prices.

Seeing this, Luo Fei was shocked, looking horrified.

"They’ve already made the deal!"

In just a moment, he entered a narrow gap in his thoughts, as everything around him vanished, replaced by an overwhelming sea of numbers and his analytical inspiration.

The times and dates marked above had no special significance, but linked to prices, they likely indicated when buyers needed them.

Sellers! The Yan family brothers, brutal bandits.

Buyers? Who could they be? If it’s just human trafficking, specific timing isn’t necessary.

Just like Yan Xiaofeng, he came to this village only to collect money.

If the funds aren’t available immediately, he could stay here temporarily.

But if there are time-sensitive demands, it proves this isn’t just mere human trafficking, requiring strict timing control, only one type of person can’t wait.

Those with organ deficiencies!

Behind-the-scene figures awaiting hosts to save them!

They’re running out of time...

Within this channel’s supply chain, as the suppliers, they must control timing, meaning they must deliver acquired organs as quickly as possible.

Apart from those children already claimed by buyers, the rest are likely to be processed in bloody, ruthless trades.

Once back in Yun Dian Province, they face immediate mortal danger.

Live organ trade truly signifies the real meaning of those price labels.

As such, the Yan brothers couldn’t care less if the third falls into police hands; once the stakeout fails, they would promptly move remaining hostages to Yun Dian Province.

That means little time is available for the police.

Recklessly chasing would waste time, making it crucial to extract leads from Yan Xiaofeng.

Otherwise, even collaborating with Yun Dian’s police won’t ensure immediate rescue; it’s a tightly interconnected situation.

One wrong step and every step goes wrong!

If the optimal rescue timeline is missed, everything will be too late.

"Team leader..."

The weak Zhang Wei opened his eyes, suddenly noticing the takeaway bag nearby.

"You’re awake! How are you feeling?"

Luo Fei and the others quickly gathered around, seeing a spark reignite in his eyes.

Zhang Wei took a deep breath, raised his hand, and rubbed his head.

"That old guy hit too hard, one shovel nearly knocked my soul out; I’ll never underestimate seniors again."

The others laughed upon hearing this.

Zhang Wei scratched his head and chuckled with them.

"I’m a bit hungry; is that for me?"

"Indeed, we brought you food."

Luo Fei handed him the thermal bag, and Zhang Wei, visibly famished, began eating immediately.

"Zhang Wei, Yan Xiaofeng has been caught. We’re going to conduct urgent interrogation; you take your time eating and have a good rest."

"Understood, team leader!"

Zhang Wei, with a serious demeanor, knew this matter couldn’t be delayed.

Then Luo Fei, accompanied by the other two, swiftly left the hospital room and hurried to the interrogation room, receiving news from Zhao Donglai indicating things weren’t looking good; the suspect was refusing to answer.

No matter how the interrogators tried, the suspect remained indifferent, like a pig unafraid of boiling water.

Luo Fei had already anticipated this.

Previously, Zhao Jugang was prepared for silence; had it not been for his psychological intimidation and scaring him into submission, the suspect might have kept the information hidden.

Han Tiesheng wasn’t concerned about the suspect.

"For those kids, it’s time to use special means. Once inside, you guys turn off the cameras first, and I’ll figure out something."

Hearing this, Qi Tongwei reluctantly shook his head, feeling this approach was inappropriate.

"Han team, let’s stay calm; rushing won’t help."

"Hmph, if I make that guy shed skin and meat, he’ll realize if it’s any use."

Luo Fei wasn’t in a hurry; he had his own strategy.

"Relax, dealing with this guy, soft or hard isn’t the focus; psychological maneuvering is key."

Psychological maneuvering?

Han Tiesheng and Qi Tongwei looked confused; such perverse, cold-blooded individuals have no heart.

When they arrived at the interrogation room, Yan Xiaofeng sat with bandages, looking smugly at the struggling interrogators beside him.

Luo Fei and Qi Tongwei took their place.

Yan Xiaofeng looked smug.

"Wow, here come two more for chit-chat; don’t bother extracting anything, I won’t say a word."
