Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg-Chapter 665: Stay Away from Me
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and go!" Twenty looked at Cheng Li, who was surprisingly motionless, and couldn’t help but reprimand. This woman was not honest at all, and he didn’t like her.
Cheng Li snapped back to reality and obediently led Twenty and the others to the basement at the back. Once they reached the basement, Twenty and his team first rescued Ling Jiu and Thirteen, and then they freed the other women and children. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
Seeing Twenty talking with Ling Jiu and Thirteen, Cheng Li then realized that the person Ah Lan had sent was actually a spy for the other side. Damn it, it was all Ah Lan’s fault, otherwise how could the village have been breached by the Liberation Army.
While cursing her in her mind, Cheng Li pondered how to leave. Running away was definitely not an option, as they had guns and she couldn’t possibly escape. However, she could use her identity as a victim, along with her actions of just taking them to find the children and women, as leverage.
With this plan in mind, Cheng Li followed Twenty and the others back to Brother Qiang’s courtyard.
Brother Qiang looked at Cheng Li, who had actually brought the Liberation Army to find the goods, and he was filled with hatred. Glaring at her, he said, "You bitch, why did you betray me?"
Cheng Li didn’t dare to meet Brother Qiang’s gaze. Instead, she shrank into herself and leaned towards Mu Qiancheng, looking scared.
Her demeanor caught Ah Lan’s attention, her eyes flickering slightly. Just as she was about to follow suit, she heard Mu Qiancheng say coldly, "Stay away from me."
At these words, Cheng Li immediately felt wronged and then said, "Qian Cheng, it’s me, Cheng Li, don’t you recognize me?"
"Someone, take her down and interrogate her properly. See if there are any other places where children might be hidden. Also, send some people to search the village and see if anyone else is hiding. Additionally, every room in this house must be searched."
After giving his orders, Mu Qiancheng walked aside to make a phone call. Meanwhile, Cheng Li was struggling as she was taken away.
Cheng Li watched Mu Qiancheng ignore her, feeling a deep resentment, but she was helpless. She could only cooperate with the Liberation Army’s interrogation; otherwise, if she was truly labeled as a human trafficker, she would go to jail.
She had already experienced the taste of imprisonment and didn’t want to go through it again. Moreover, she knew that if she ended up in jail this time, no one would come to bail her out.
Therefore, she needed to gain the sympathy of the Liberation Army and ensure that they recognized her as a victim. To achieve this, she answered whatever the Liberation Army asked and told them that she had been trafficked, including where she had been trafficked from.
She made sure to mention Sister Hua’s name and the location of her gang. That was a place she would never forget, even in death.
Not only that, she also informed them that she had been targeted at the South City bus station, leading to her abduction.
Cheng Li divulged a lot of information, which surprised Twenty and the others, and their attitude towards her improved significantly.
Noticing the change in the Liberation Army’s attitude, Cheng Li was very pleased. She knew that by revealing her identity as a victim and gaining their sympathy, this factor would be considered when determining her guilt or sentencing.
Not long after Mu Qiancheng finished his call, local public security officers arrived, driving police cars to take the human traffickers away.
Cheng Li was among them, and as she was leaving, she called out to Mu Qiancheng again, saying, "Mu Qiancheng, I’m also a victim, you can’t let them take me away, I want to go home."
Hearing Cheng Li call Mu Qiancheng’s name, the officer in charge immediately asked, "Mr. Mu, do you know that woman?"
