Chapter 576 Human Trafficking
Chapter 576 Human Trafficking
Jiang Wenming and his men held guns, with the muzzles all pointed at the cave entrance, ready for battle. As long as there was the slightest movement below, they would pull the trigger and open fire without hesitation.
Oda picked up the flashlight on the ground and shone the beam into the cave. He saw many people lying in a mess at the bottom of the cabin. They were crammed together tightly, and a disgusting stench wafted out of the cave from time to time.
“Help…help…help!”
"Save us!"
……
Faint cries for help echoed in the bottom of the cabin, the last pleas from those who still had a glimmer of consciousness.
Peng Yongyan looked at the men and women in the cabin, frowning, "Is this a human trafficking ship?" His voice was full of disbelief.
Jiang Wenming suddenly felt the vibration of his cell phone in his chest. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and then walked out of the cabin.
Xiaotian and Chen Meng's eyes turned to Jiang Jiyun at the same time, only to see that she had recovered from her initial shock.
She broke free from Xiao Wei's arms and went to the side to put out a long ladder.
"I'd better go down and take a look. Those people are unconscious. If I lower the ladder directly, it might hit them." Oda said with a worried look on his face as he looked at the crowded crowd below.
Jiang Jiyun was about to follow him down, but Xiao Wei stopped him. "Just guide him from up there. What if something unexpected happens with so many people?"
Oda also agreed with him. "It looks like they have been drugged. I will bring some special medicine down with me. As soon as they wake up, I will let them climb out."
"That's fine." She took out her shoulder bag from the space and stuffed it with medicine bottles.
Oda put on a mask and hung the bag around his neck, and Xiaowei sent him down with a rope.
At this time, Jiang Wenming walked in and whispered to Jiang Jiyun, "The battle over there with your brother is over. He found that there are troops coming. He asked us to retreat quickly."
"But there are still so many people down there." Jiang Jiyun looked at the people who woke up and climbed up.
Peng Yongyan arranged for the people who had come up to continue to move up. "Everyone, leave quickly. If they fight back, it will be difficult for you to escape."
Xiao Wei and Chen Meng also wore masks and went down to help with their bags and medicine. Jiang Jiyun helped to replenish the medicine twice before looking at his uncle and saying, "You guys go into the space. I can get out with these kids."
"I'll stay outside with you. Their people are still looking for you everywhere. It's not safe for you to stay alone." Jiang Wenming immediately took off his coat and shoes.
Jiang Jiyun also understood what his uncle meant, and took out a piece of patched clothing and a pair of open-toed shoes. His pants were originally patched, so there was no need to change them.
They rescued one person after another, and finally they fell silent as they looked at the twenty or so people in the cabin who would never have the chance to wake up again.
"Let's go, someone will be here to deal with it soon." Jiang Wenming said to them sadly.
Jiang Jiyun sent Xiao Wei, Xiao Tian, Chen Meng and Peng Yongyan into the space, then climbed onto Jiang Wenming's back and buried his face in his back.
Jiang Wenming had already taken off the mask on his face and smeared his face black, then he carried his child on his back and mixed in with the team.
Jiang Jiyuan, who was squatting near the dock and observing, saw an acquaintance coming with a team. He saw their team disperse and walk into the place where they had fought before.
"Battalion Commander, it looks like the battle here is over." The person standing next to Wang Xiangchen looked at the place where the smoke was coming out.
"Battalion Commander, refugees have been found over there." A young soldier ran over and shouted.
"Refugees?" Wang Xiangchen looked ahead in confusion. "Why are there refugees here?"
He turned around and let the driver of the tricycle continue to drive forward. He was a little puzzled. Why didn't he know that there were refugees fleeing here recently?
When he arrived at the dock, he saw people who really looked like refugees looking at them with fear.
"Master Jun, we are not bad people, we are good citizens!"
"Master Jun, we were captured!"
"Master Jun, please don't shoot. We are Chinese people."
……
Wang Xiangchen stretched out his hand and waved, asking the soldiers holding guns to put them down. He walked forward and looked at these people. Among them were men, women and children, wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind.
"A representative, please come out and tell me what's going on with you?" Wang Xiangchen looked at them and asked loudly.
"Li Shiqun!"
"Xu Enni!"
"Zeng Youwei!"
"Catkins!"
……
Wang Xiangchen looked back and saw a group of students wearing Zhongshan student uniforms being stopped outside by a group of Kuomintang soldiers. They were shouting their classmates' names.
"I'm here."
"I am here."
"Woohoo... We're still alive."
……
Lying on Jiang Wenming's back, Jiang Jiyun quietly stuck his head out, his big eyes rolling around, curiously looking at the students who were stopped in front.
Suddenly her eyes lit up and she discovered something interesting. She recognized the people who were stopped at a glance. They were the brave masked men in black who had rescued people in the woods before. It seemed that they had mistakenly brought people into the mountains to rescue them because they knew them.
Jiang Jiyun couldn't help but mutter in disgust, "These people are really stupid. They didn't even change clothes to save someone! Isn't this just a way to make people recognize them?"
"Let them go!" Wang Xiangchen also understood the identities of these people.
When the little girls and boys who were stopped heard the soldiers shouting to let them go, they felt as if they had been pardoned and staggered towards their classmates impatiently.
Jiang Wenming also ran over there with his little niece. Since he heard that they were allowed to pass, it meant they could leave.
Wang Xiangchen's face became increasingly gloomy as he watched this scene.
He turned to look at Chai Yong standing beside him and asked in a deep voice, "Chai Yong, where are those students who were arrested during the march? Weren't they supposed to be released after just a few days? Why are they here?"
Chai Yong was also completely bewildered. He answered blankly, "I don't know either. How can we, the soldiers, know about the affairs of those departments?"
Wang Xiangchen looked across at the children and the woman who was standing there stiffly and not daring to move.
"You should leave too!" Wang Xiangchen said helplessly when he saw the fear and terror in their eyes.
At this time, the people who went to search the ship came back and reported, "Captain, there are more than 20 bodies at the bottom of the cabin. It seems that they are with them."
Wang Xiangchen asked Chai Yong to take people to check the ship immediately. He sighed and asked the soldiers to escort those people to the resettlement site.
"Brother Wang!" After sending Jiang Jiyun out, Jiang Wenming turned around and came back to look for Wang Xiangchen.
"Weming, why are you here?" When Wang Xiangchen saw Jiang Wenming, he knew what was going on at the dock warehouse today.
"I have something to tell you." Jiang Wenming looked at the two people standing behind him.
Wang Xiangchen followed him to a corner, and Jiang Wenming told him directly, "You have people trafficking in people and opium here."
