The courtyard, ablaze with lights, was now filled at nearly two hundred people.

Among them, a portion were women, some were children, and the rest were stout men.

However, each of these people had disheveled hair and dirty faces, with gaunt figures characteristic of malnutrition, especially the fear that was still thick in their eyes.

Ye Feng sighed deeply at the sight of these more than two hundred people before him.

The boys here were all crippled, used to beg for money, the men were penned up like livestock, waiting for their organs to be harvested, and the women were to be sold into prostitution, for the pleasure of others.

Seeing these people before him, He Dongqiang's eyes reddened:

"Those people like Huang Batian are simply devoid of conscience, all beasts!!!"

He had handled many cases, but he had never seen such brutality.

One could say that in the eyes of Huang Batian and his ilk, humanity had long been absent, replaced by money, and those who couldn't earn them money had only a dead end waiting for them.

Especially seeing those children, each missing an arm or a leg, He Dongqiang felt both sorrow and rage. Even though these children were rescued, their lives had been ruined.

Shaking his head, He Dongqiang turned to Ye Feng and said with gratitude:

"Young man, you should leave now! I've already notified the police and the television station, I believe they will arrive very soon!"

Upon hearing He Dongqiang's words, Ye Feng realized that He Dongqiang must have been afraid that the police might suppress the case due to Huang Batian's influence, which was why he had also alerted the journalists, and Ye Feng couldn't help but regard He Dongqiang more highly.

"You're not going to arrest me?"

Ye Feng's question took He Dongqiang aback, followed by a bitter smile:

"Although I, He Dongqiang, abhor evil, I am not one to cling to outdated principles. You may have killed many people, but you've saved even more! And those you killed deserved it! I won't arrest you!"

Ye Feng nodded, his esteem for He Dongqiang increased greatly; such a police officer, who hated evil yet knew right from wrong, was a rare find in today's society.

Ye Feng knew he shouldn't linger in this place any longer. He nodded at He Dongqiang, then prepared to leave the area.

Just as Ye Feng took a step to depart, he felt someone tug at him. He turned to look and found that it was that thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl.

"Little sister, let this young man go. If the police arrive and he's still here, he'll be in trouble!" He Dongqiang hastily said to the girl upon seeing this.

However, the little girl didn't speak, her big bright eyes simply gazed at Ye Feng, her mud-covered face betraying no emotion.

Ye Feng was taken aback by the girl's demeanor, then smiled and said, "Do you want me to take you with me?"

The little girl finally nodded her head, her sparkling, big eyes filled with intense longing.

Seeing this, Ye Feng thought it over briefly, knowing he could no longer delay here, and could only nod with resignation:

"Alright! Come with me, I'll take you home, to be reunited with your family!"

With that, Ye Feng turned to He Dongqiang, "I'm taking her with me, is that okay?"

"No problem!"

After what happened tonight, He Dongqiang naturally trusted Ye Feng, and especially the little girl would no longer have to worry about being taken by bad people if she was with him.

Ye Feng nodded and then, taking the girl's hand, headed towards the courtyard's exit.

The two didn't take a car, but instead followed the woods, taking a shortcut towards Mingzhu City.

The night was deep and the lighting dim, especially passing through the woods that bordered a graveyard, which looked eerily spine-chilling.

However, the little girl's face showed no hint of fear, rather, feeling her hand held by Ye Feng, her mud-stained face blushed slightly.

After walking several miles, Ye Feng saw the little girl panting and covered in sweat. He then let go of her hand, squatted down in front of her, and smilingly offered:

"We are still far from Mingzhu. Let me carry you on my back!"

Hearing this, the redness on the little girl's face deepened even more.

But she hadn't eaten all day, and combined with the excessive stress, she was utterly exhausted. She could only nod her little head, then slowly leaned on Ye Feng's back and was lifted up by him.

"Why did you share the money you begged with your companions in the city area? Aren't you afraid of being beaten by those bad guys?"

Ye Feng, feeling the girl's actions, smiled faintly and then asked out of curiosity.

In the city, he had clearly seen the little girl divide the money from her small bowl, that she had begged for, among a few other little beggars, leaving her with the least amount.

The little girl seemed not to have expected Ye Feng to know about this and was momentarily stunned, then she replied sadly:

"In that place, girls generally fare a little better because even if they get beaten, those people won't go too far. They still need to keep the girls to sell them! But it's different for boys. If they beg for too little money, they will definitely be beaten half to death, or may even be killed on the spot!"

Her words surprised Ye Feng. He hadn't expected the young girl to be so clever and kind.

"Big brother, can I ask you a question?" The little girl seemed to think of something, her beautiful eyes looking at Ye Feng seriously.

"What question? Go ahead and ask!" Ye Feng replied with a smile, taken aback.

"What's your name?" The girl's gaze towards Ye Feng grew even more earnest, even shining with solemnity.

"I'm Ye Feng! How about you?" Ye Feng replied forthrightly.

"Ye Feng?"

The little girl savored the name, then her muddy face broke into a smile:

"I'm Chuchu!"

Chuchu!

When Ye Feng heard this name, he could never have imagined the kind of demon-like character the Chuchu he had rescued would become in the future!
