Chapter 1316 Uprooted
You Laoer didn’t want to talk, and also knew that what he had done couldn’t be said, but Mengyu directly hypnotized him, so he honestly confessed all the women and children he had trafficked over the years to a tape recorder.
Hearing the crimes he confessed to, Mengyu felt chills down her spine. Just the team led by this Elder You had trafficked more than ten thousand women, including eight thousand women and two thousand children!
Moreover, he had a ledger in his possession, recording each trafficked woman and child’s origin, the address they were sold to, and the selling price.
Eight thousand women, two thousand children, averaging five hundred yuan each, that amounts to five million!
This village had long become a cancer in the trafficking of women and children. Because the whole village practiced martial arts and had high martial prowess, no one dared to come here to arrest anyone.
Last time, Gu Dongxing came to sweep the village because both Gu Dongxing and Cheng Jiuhe were Martial Artists, and at that time, their power was even a level higher than You Laoer’s. Plus, they had guns, which made You Laoer hesitant to act rashly.
But they still bore grudges against Gu Dongxing, and even deliberately sent people to kidnap Gu Minxing. If it weren’t for Mengyu’s discovery, Gu Minxing would have been abducted by them at that time.
Listening to You Laoer’s confession, Mengyu could hardly contain her urge to destroy him immediately.
But she restrained herself, knowing her hands must not be stained with such scum’s dirty blood!
However, she couldn’t resist having Xiao Tao cripple You Laoer’s martial arts.
Next was Tie Laosan’s recording, and he openly admitted to what he had done. However, his crimes were not as massive as Elder You’s. But Mengyu still disabled his martial arts like she did with You Laoer.
Then, all those who had participated in trafficking women confessed to their crimes, and Xiao Tao used the tape recorder to tape each confession. This way, everyone left behind recordings that could serve as direct evidence in court.
Mengyu guarded against them being brought back only to use their protective umbrellas and slippery defenses to escape legal penalties because she knew that in any era there were shady officials who protected criminals.
After everyone recorded their testimonies, Mengyu had Xiao Tao disable the martial arts of those whose crimes were evident.
They had harmed countless women and children by abusing their martial arts to dominate the mountain. Simply disabling their martial arts was not excessive.
Of course, Mengyu did not impose additional punishments on them. She believed it was best to leave them for the law to deal with.
This time, Tiger Valley underwent a thorough cleansing, uprooting this professional human trafficking network completely.
After questioning everyone needing questioning and locking them in the ancestral hall, a night had already passed. Mengyu sent Gu Dongxing a Communication Talisman, relaying the events of Tiger Valley.
While on a mission, Gu Dongxing received Mengyu’s Communication Talisman and was shocked. On his last visit to Tiger Valley, he had rescued over a hundred trafficked women and captured more than twenty human traffickers!
But unexpectedly, so many traffickers in this village hadn’t been exposed. At that time, he was still merely an Ancient Martial Cultivator and couldn’t use Divine Sense to detect Resentment and identify who were traffickers.
However, he felt ashamed for not having identified even the two heads of the human trafficking network. He informed the Public Security Bureau Chief who had cooperated with him previously in Tiger Valley to go and receive Mengyu’s findings, and then sent Mengyu a Communication Talisman, instructing her to hand over the case to Director Feng of the G City Public Security who would be arriving soon.
Mengyu locked You Laosan and others in the ancestral hall, planning to wait for Director Feng to take charge, while she, accompanied by Xiao Tao and Gougou, prepared to visit the old witch halfway up the mountain.
"Xiao Li, bring Gougou over."
