Chapter 871: Starting Over

ed there was a massive chasm before her, as big as a baseball field. At the bottom of this pit lay a gigantic meteorite, the largest she had ever seen. It was embedded deep in the earth, and there was..."That driver, the girl who gave me water, Qiao Lao Er, Xiao Liu... all of them are imprinted in my mind. Even if they turned to ashes, I could recognize them."

Han Jing clenched her fists and said in a low voice.

"Okay, you rest first. We'll try not to disturb you."

Two police officers immediately got up, bid farewell to the mother and daughter, and left the ward.

Wenjing rushed over and hugged her daughter, whose body was so thin it was just skin and bones. She cried again, this time Hanjing also hugged her mother, crying with all her might.

The two police officers leaving the ward were also silent at this time. Standing at the hospital door, they both looked back at Han Jing's ward.

"To die in silence is to explode in silence!"

The older policeman sighed and said.

"The little girl was abused badly. She was holding onto the idea of dying with those people. If she hadn't discovered that there were other victims, she probably wouldn't have reported it while pregnant."

The young officer also nodded in agreement.

“Her attending physician also said yesterday that the girl’s body is riddled with injuries. Even if she recovers, she will need to be carefully cared for in the future. Besides, she has lost her ability to bear children, which is a huge blow to her.”

"It's useless to worry about these things now, the first thing is to stay alive. Only by staying alive will you have the concerns you mentioned. I think her parents love her very much and should accompany her out of this dark cloud."

"Come, let's go back and report the situation first. We should strive to make these people pay for their actions as soon as possible."

Two people got into a car and hurriedly drove away from the hospital.

Han Jing stayed in the hospital for ten days before she was allowed to be discharged. The day after she was discharged, she went to identify the person who had drugged her previously, as well as Qiao Lao Er, who had been bullying her all along. After the police station collected all the relevant evidence, they filed a public prosecution at the fastest speed possible.

Han Jing, as both the victim and witness, attended the court hearing. Watching those people receive their due punishment, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

In Qiaojiagou, ninety percent of the people participated in this wicked industry because the money came too fast. They couldn't resist the temptation, and one success after another made them arrogant and bolder.

Qiaojia Gulch also became a transit station and distribution hub because many people were involved, and they had clear divisions of labor.

Some are responsible for finding prey, some for acting as decoys to lure people in, some for finding buyers, and some for transportation. They even provide after-sales service; if you're not satisfied with the wife you bought, you can even exchange her.

This way, the operation grew bigger and bigger. Although they were still careful, every action would leave traces. The police had already noticed them, but the case hadn't progressed because they couldn't find their hideout until they received Yu Da Jie's report.

Joe Shuqiang from the county hospital had long been under surveillance, but he was very careful and didn't leave any traces. He only took advantage of his work convenience to help pregnant women check the sex of their babies. If he was caught, he would also readily admit it, after all, they were all fellow villagers, and it wasn't good to refuse their requests.

But with Han Jing's note, they kept a 24-hour watch on Qiao Shuangqiang and eventually found their way to Wushan Village. They called Qiaogou "their own people's" because seven out of ten residents there were surnamed Qiao, their ancestors having fled to Wushan Village and settled there.

With a specific location in hand, their actions became much swifter. After capturing Qiao Lao Er, they immediately launched a fierce interrogation. At first, Qiao Lao Er stubbornly refused to admit anything, even when confronted with evidence, he remained tight-lipped.

Ultimately, the police shifted their interrogation focus from Joe Little Six and found a breakthrough on him. They then followed this lead to uncover more shady transactions.

"Operation Night Raid" refers to the police's capture and rescue operation. The People's Armed Police who infiltrated Old Joe's courtyard also learned Han Jing's specific location from Xiao Liu, ensuring her safety before leaving.

It was only because Xiaoliu hid the escape tunnel that Lianyi was caught off guard. Afterward, they also reflected on themselves and when they learned that Lianyi was out of danger, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As the investigation deepened, the police learned that 60% of the women in Wushan Village were bought by them. They weren't stupid and knew the drawbacks of consanguineous marriage, but in their impoverished mountain village, no one was willing to marry there. To satisfy their own desires, they started buying brides from outside.

Later, he even developed the practice of finding brides for himself. After tasting success, he couldn't stop. He not only engaged in the practice himself but also dragged his relatives into it. Step by step, he fell deeper and deeper into this abyss.

The earliest women "married" to Wushan Village were already in their thirties or forties. They had long forgotten if their families were still searching for them, but here they found people connected to their bloodline.

In conclusion, after the case was solved, it caused a stir throughout the system, including the police system, the government system, and the judicial system. This incident provided a profound understanding of the ignorance and naivety of people in these backward rural areas.

To change the current situation in these areas, they still have a long way to go.

Upon discharge, Han Jing met with Yu's elder sister under the company of her parents.

After Yu Da reported the case, she still couldn't rest easy about Lian Yi. She knew that Lian Yi was a married woman too, and understood that some criminals had very strong vengeful hearts. The barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so she didn't dare to ask too many questions.

When she received the ripple's call, she was overjoyed and threw her son to her mother-in-law, then went alone to pay the bill.

She understood the little girl's intention of inviting her out, it was to protect her, so she readily agreed. If the girl had invited her home, she would have probably refused.

After You Da entered the room, the first thing she saw was Han Jing's pale face. The other party had lost a lot of weight, so her eyes looked especially large. When Han Jing stood up, You Da noticed that her stomach was flat.

"This must be Xiao Yu, right I'm Jingjing's mom, and this is her dad. Thank you for coming."

Wen Jing immediately stood up and politely said.

"You're too kind. It's inconvenient to have you over because my mother-in-law is at home, please understand."

Sister You smiled sweetly and said.

Wen Jing knew the other person was being polite, and she was also giving them a way down. She immediately smiled and said:

"I understand. The fewer people who know about this, the better. You're doing this to protect Jingjing."

"Big sister, thank you for being willing to believe me!"

Han Jing stood up and bowed to You Da Jie.

Oh my, you child, why are you so polite Come, sit down and talk. Just looking at you, I can tell you haven't fully recovered.

Yu Da also had good taste, and immediately pulled Han Jing down to sit.

After both parties were seated, Han LiXue represented the family and thanked Yu Da Jie again. At the same time, they also told the other party that they came to say goodbye.

Aunt Yu understood, this young girl probably wouldn't come back to this place for the rest of her life. She agreed and said:

"Your daughter has suffered here. It's best she leaves soon so she can start anew."

"We think the same way. The child's body still needs to be recuperated, and we don't know anyone here, it would definitely be inconvenient."iting into it."You're right, girl. Since things are like this, I'll just keep going for a while longer. It's just that my husband's vacation is almost over and he's returning to Changning City tomorro...
