After that, the group went for a walk on the street. While passing an alley, Meilin and Orin, who were holding the children, were suddenly kidnapped by people hiding in the alley.
Those people looked at Teacher Yuxia and Sienna and said, "Don't move, or my hand might shake."
Teacher Yuxia saw her child being taken away, and Meilin had a knife held to her neck. Someone also grabbed the child from her arms.
"Just follow us quietly, or you'll regret it."
Seeing the situation, Teacher Yuxia gave in and said, "Alright, we'll go with you. Please be careful and don't hurt them."
Sienna wanted to fight back. Even though she wasn't very close to them, Rowan had a good relationship with their husbands. She couldn't risk their safety, so she gave in for now. If the kids weren't there, she would've fought.
But Sienna was curious. How could they be so bold to do this in broad daylight? This wasn't some rural road; it was in town. Was this place more dangerous than she thought? If so, then she wouldn't hold back next time.
As they moved, the kidnappers quickly tied them up. They were smart enough to keep the kids close, so Sienna wouldn't have a chance to fight.
"Don't play any tricks, or you'll suffer the consequences."
Later, the group entered the alley and went into an old, broken-down yard.
"Boss, we found some great ones. They're all pretty, and there are two boys too. We can sell them for a good price."
"I told you to hurry. You didn't grab them off the main road, did you?"
"No, we saw them at the alley entrance. They were so pretty, and there were only three women, so we took them."
"Are you stupid? That's a public road."
"Boss, we left right away. Someone is covering for us. No one will find us."
"You're an idiot. Rake, call the others. We're leaving now."
"Yes"
Soon, everyone gathered. There were 21 people in total. As they retreated, Sienna noticed more girls and kids who seemed too quiet, like something was wrong.
Their escape route turned out to be a well. Ten people went down first, followed by the others. After Sienna got down, she quickly took care of the ones below. Once everyone was down, she focused on the two people holding the children, dealt with them fast, and passed the kids up.
She handled the rest swiftly. After everything was done, she checked on the kidnapped people. They had been drugged with something that caused slight hallucinations and mainly numbed their nerves, leaving them unable to resist.
These people clearly weren't ordinary criminals. That kind of drug wasn't easy to make. Even Sienna needed time and rare ingredients to prepare it herself.
"Cuilan, Fanna, it's okay now. I'll help you up. Go call the military and report to the police. These people are dangerous."
"What about you? Come with us. It's not safe alone. I'll stay with you. Meilin can go report."
"My fighting skills are better than you think. If you stay, you'll just slow me down."
"Alright. Wait for us."
The two women hugged their kids and ran out. Outside, Teacher Yuxia said, "The police station is close to the post office. You go to the station, and I'll go to the post office. After I call, I'll come find you. Stick to crowded streets."
"Got it. Stay safe."
Meilin rushed into the police station with her child, looking flustered. The officers quickly came over.
"Ma'am, what happened? Please explain."
"There are human traffickers in Willow Alley. Hurry and save the people."
"Please sit and tell us everything. Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. There are over twenty of them, and one of our comrades is still holding them off."
"Fengzhu, get the others. We're moving out now."
"Yes."
"Sister-in-law, please wait here and don't leave. We'll need your help to guide the way later."
"Okay."
Military unit.
"Alright, I understand. Teacher Yuxia, go to the police station right away and make sure you're safe. We'll send someone to pick you up."
After hanging up, Commander Yourin quickly went to the political commissar's office. He didn't even knock, just pushed the door open.
"Old Wu, Old Wu!"
"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
"Old Wu, go to the county right away. The wives of those boys were kidnapped. If it weren't for Rowan's wife being so capable, we wouldn't know how to explain it to them."
Hearing this, the political commissar immediately stood up. "What happened?"
"I'm not sure yet, but it doesn't seem like a small matter. They were kidnapped in the county, but they've already been rescued."
"Alright, I'll go check the situation. I'll inform you if I get any updates."
Then he left right away.
When the police arrived, they saw a beautiful girl sitting at the entrance. The sunlight was shining on her, making her look like a fairy who accidentally came to the human world. They wondered if they were being tricked.
Meilin's voice brought them back to their senses. "Sienna, the police are here. Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm fine."
The lead officer, the same one who spoke with Meilin earlier, said, "Comrade, I'm Guo Fei. Where are the people who kidnapped you?"
"They're all in the well. You can go down and bring them up. If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving."
She was about to leave, but then Sienna remembered something and added, "Oh right, some of them are badly injured. Be careful."
"Sister-in-law, let's go home."
As they were about to leave, Guo Fei quickly said, "Comrade, wait. You'll need to come with us to give a statement before you can go home."
"Huh? There's still a process? I caught the bad guys for you, isn't that enough?"
"Comrade, we have to file a report and keep a record, especially for a big case like this."
"Alright then."
After everyone was brought up, there were over ten children and four young women.
Seeing so many kidnapped people, Guo Fei felt that this was more serious than he could handle. He needed to report it immediately.
"Feng Zhu, take the injured and the rescued people to the hospital right away."
"Brother, but then no one will be left here."
"It's fine. Right now, the suspects can't escape. Just get more people to come over. I'll stay here and watch."
"Okay."
Soon, more people arrived but it wasn't Feng Zhu's group.
"Hello, comrade. I'm from the city public security bureau. We're taking over this case. You don't need to handle it anymore."
