Free Web NovelChapter 62: Chapter 62: Takedown
Of course, word of this soon reached the ears of Fu Mingxue and her mother.
But Mrs. Fu was still seething.
She spat. "They got what they deserved! They’re worthless scum. To think they actually tried to sell you. If they hadn’t been arrested, I’d have beaten them to death myself."
Fu Mingxue said nothing.
But her eyes were filled with ice.
She also hadn’t expected Bai Siqi and her mother to be so vicious.
They had actually tried to get Wang Po to sell her.
It was a good thing she had gone out that night and happened to see Mrs. Bai acting so suspiciously.
She had a feeling that old woman was up to no good.
So she followed her—and to her surprise, she saw Mrs. Bai enter the courtyard of that woman, Wang Po.
Having been reborn, how could she possibly not know what kind of person Wang Po was?
In her previous life, the arrest of Wang Po’s entire family had the whole town cursing their names for ages.
After all, there was nothing people hated more than human traffickers.
She hadn’t been reborn for long, and with one thing happening right after another, she simply hadn’t had time to remember the matter of Wang Po.
’Mrs. Bai meeting with Wang Po... What good could come of that? Don’t tell me they’re plotting to harm me?’
A chill ran down her spine at the thought.
’You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t guard against one for a thousand days. What if I let my guard down one day and these black-hearted, ruthless people actually manage to harm me?’
So, she went straight to the police station to report them.
The police took matters involving human traffickers very seriously. Even though she had no evidence, they still decided to check it out.
They never expected the trip to yield such a massive result.
As luck would have it, just as they arrived, they saw a girl with disheveled hair run out of Wang Po’s house, only to be dragged back by Wang Po’s son.
The police immediately moved in.
—
Not only did they rescue the girl who was about to be dragged back, but they also discovered five people locked away in the cellar of Wang Po’s house.
Furthermore, Mrs. Bai hadn’t left the Wang family’s home yet, so she was cornered by the police and taken away along with them.
Wang Po’s family hated Mrs. Bai’s guts.
They were convinced that Mrs. Bai had been the one to report them.
After all, they’d been doing this for years without a single incident. How could it be that the moment Mrs. Bai came looking for them, everything went south?
So, naturally, they ratted her out.
Any involvement with human traffickers was a major crime, let alone the fact that Mrs. Bai had specifically instructed them to sell Fu Mingxue.
This was a very serious offense.
After a night of interrogation, Mrs. Bai’s psychological defenses crumbled, and she directly implicated her own daughter, Bai Siqi.
This threw the entire town into an uproar.
Several families whose children, young women, or new brides had gone missing all rushed to the police station—
When Mrs. Fu learned that the Bai mother and daughter had actually sought out Wang Po to harm her own girl, she was absolutely livid.
How could that mother and daughter be so wicked?
Why were they so fixated on ruining her daughter?
It was one scheme after another with them.
Damn it—had her daughter dug up the Bai Family’s ancestral graves or something?
Of course, even more than anger, there was the lingering fear.
If they had actually succeeded, her daughter’s life would have been ruined!
The police moved swiftly. Not only did they capture Wang Po and her entire family, but they also followed the leads to arrest their superiors in the network.
As the one who had reported them, Fu Mingxue was genuinely pleased.
The sooner Wang Po and her family were caught, the fewer people would become their victims.
"Mom, that mother and daughter from the Bai Family can never harm me again. You should be happy."
Mrs. Fu supposed that was true.
’The Bai Family has four people, and three of them are in jail now,’ she thought. ’The only one left is Bai Yongliang. His son, daughter, and daughter-in-law are all rotten. From now on, he’ll have to live with his tail between his legs, won’t he?’
Just then, there was a knock on the door—
