Chapter 133

“I ambushed him when he wasn’t paying attention.”

Xiao Juan, the prostitute who had been silent until now, took the initiative to explain, vividly recreating the scene at that time. However, Song Ning couldn’t help but become suspicious of Xiao Juan, wondering why the second brother hadn’t paid any attention to her. Could she be the mole who tipped them off?

But if Xiao Juan is the mole, which is why the second brother was not on guard against her, then why did Xiao Juan attack the second brother?

Song Ning was completely baffled, but the most urgent task was to find the third brother hiding in the shadows, and then bring the police outside into the stronghold so that they could bring this group of people to justice.

“Thank goodness you were here, otherwise Jingwen would probably have suffered!”

Song Ning told Xiao Juan that at this time he did not have conclusive evidence to prove that the prostitute was the mole, so he could only suppress his suspicions.

“The police are outside, but they can’t find the exit. I’ll get some clothes and put them on. Once I bring the police in, you’ll be truly safe!”

Hearing Song Ning’s words, Yu Shan and Jing Wen both breathed a sigh of relief, their hearts finally at ease. Xiao Juan showed no change in emotion, only saying that she would help Song Ning find clothes.

Han Jingwen and Li Yushan took care of the doctor who was still unconscious on the bed. After a while, Song Ning got dressed and, together with Xiao Juan, tied up the unconscious second brother, the weak fifth brother, and the sixth brother tightly. They then found an empty room and locked them inside.

He had been secretly observing the prostitute Xiao Juan, but saw nothing suspicious in her behavior or expression, so he continued to probe:

“Let’s find the exit from here together. If we find the police quickly, we’ll all be safe!”

Xiao Juan nodded, not refusing, but simply said:

“After this trip, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do business at all…”

Song Ning was puzzled and asked her why she couldn’t do business anymore. Xiao Juan explained:

“Once I get out, the police will definitely register my information as a victim, and they might find out I was a prostitute. Sigh… I don’t know what to do!”

Song Ning felt that her worries were a bit excessive. With such a big case involving Lao Er’s gang, how could the police have time to investigate her prostitution? Unless she had something to hide!

He comforted her for a moment, but became even more cautious, and led Xiao Juan into the room where he had been attacked.

Song Ning shamelessly let her walk in front, while he cautiously followed behind.

Fortunately, they escaped unscathed. After much effort, the two discovered that the place was an abandoned air-raid shelter, and the hell that imprisoned the girls was a secret base hidden inside the air-raid shelter.

After some exploration, the two finally found the exit. The further they walked along the exit, the more nervous Song Ning became, because this was the last chance for Lao San to ambush them.

“Could he have sensed something? Or did someone tip him off, allowing him to escape?”

The thought grew stronger and stronger in Song Ning’s mind until he actually stepped out of the exit and saw the faint light of dawn in the sky. Only then did he realize that his third brother was no longer there.

After that, there was no suspense. Song Ning and Xiao Juan quickly found the police who were conducting a large-scale search in the nearby ravines. The police searched for most of the night and were almost ready to give up.

To Song Ning’s dismay, after being taken to the police station, he was interrogated for a long time as a suspect. Despite his repeated explanations and reiterations that Han Jingwen and Li Yushan could testify for him, as well as the suspected undercover police officer, the doctor, Song Ning was unable to answer.

However, the police did not believe him at first. They even produced semen samples taken from Yushan, Jingwen, and Xiaojuan, and said that there was no such person as “Doctor” among the people rescued from the stronghold.

Although Yu Shan and others testified on Song Ning’s behalf, for such a big case, the police probably can’t make a decision without clarifying all the doubts.

Fortunately, as the investigation deepened, and especially as the accusations made against Song Ning by the second brother and his gang were proven false, Song Ning was cleared of suspicion.

After spending nearly 24 hours at the police station, they were finally told they could leave. Only after asking the police did they learn that the other victims, including Han Jingwen and Li Yushan, had already left the police station.

After returning to normal life, those painful memories are either deeply hidden or treated as a nightmare, while Song Ning, the person who helped them end it all, becomes a key, a key to awaken these memories and nightmares.

“husband!!”

As soon as Song Ning stepped out of the police station, he heard a joyful shout, and a soft, delicate body threw itself into his arms. Who else could that familiar touch be but Zhao Yi?

Song Ning felt a surge of emotion. His girlfriend, who usually smelled wonderful, was without any makeup and was only wearing a T-shirt and jeans, looking as ordinary as could be.

“Waaaaah… Honey, you’re finally back! I was so worried!”

Song Ning believed that Zhao Yi’s worries and anxieties were a hundred times greater than what she said. Otherwise, how could his girlfriend, who was very particular about her appearance, not care about her image at all and wait for him at the police station entrance?
