Chapter 3936: Chapter 3924: The Punishment Result

The women in the yard all had messy hair, seemingly cut unevenly with scissors, and their clothes were patched.

They looked at Lin Yi with half-lowered heads, their eyes lifeless like zombies.

But there was no fear in their eyes, instead, they seemed to be looking for an opportunity.

"You hit someone, pay up!"

The first to charge forward was a short woman, aggressively yelling at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi frowned, showing disgust on his face.

"Paying up is out of the question, but if you dare to make a move, I’ll make sure you go down."

The woman charged forward like a madwoman, as if she was about to bite someone.

Lin Yi didn’t hesitate and kicked the woman too, but not too forcefully, as it would be hard to explain such an incident with the police outside.

The woman was knocked to the ground, screaming painfully, rolling on the ground incessantly.

"Help, murder, I’m done for!"

Lin Yi bent down, picked up a machete from the ground, and held it against the woman’s neck.

"If you’re done living, I’ll send you off."

The woman was scared stiff and immediately shut up.

Lin Yi’s gaze swept over the others, "Squat by the wall, if you don’t cooperate, you’ll end up like her."

The remaining elderly, women, and children looked at each other and retreated to the foot of the wall.

Left standing was only the old man who had been giving commands earlier.

"What are you doing, why are you bullying us..."

"Shut up."

Lin Yi stepped forward and slapped him hard, "You too, squat in the corner."

"Got it."

At the entrance, Lin Yi opened the latch, and Ma Wenliang rushed in, staring in shock at the people lying on the ground.

"Were all these people taken down by you?"

"I talked to them a bit, soft words didn’t work, so I had to go hard on them. They’re just not very durable, they went down before I even warmed up."

"Did you train before?"

Lin Yi grinned, "I know a bit of martial arts, but now’s not the time for that. You guys quickly go rescue people, I’ll have my colleague record this."

"Okay."

The major issue was resolved, everything else followed naturally.

Sun Dandan was immediately brought to the car. Chen Fangjin and Zhang Jiajia comforted her and notified colleagues in Gaoshun County to prepare to take everyone here away.

In addition, Ma Wenliang and others found four abducted girls in other homes. Knowing they were rescued, they all burst into tears, venting their emotions.

Ma Wenliang and others were both joyful and helpless.

Joyful for cracking the case and rescuing people.

Helpless knowing in some unknown corners, such things might still be happening.

The road ahead is long, more effort is needed.

Nearly three hours later, colleagues from Gaoshun County arrived, taking all the people from Nancun, Goushui Village, away for interrogation.

Lin Yi and Ma Wenliang’s task was to take Sun Dandan back, while local police dealt with interrogations and subsequent sentencing.

That night, they took a rest, and Sun Dandan’s mood stabilized, considering the short time she was held, she recovered quickly.

But this experience will surely leave a shadow in her heart, now all they can do is hope time can heal her pain.

Early the next day, the group started their journey back to Zhong Hai.

They arrived in Zhong Hai in the afternoon, around three o’clock.

Upon seeing Sun Dandan, Li Xiaoping held her tightly, crying uncontrollably.

Then, Li Xiaoping, emotionally, kowtowed to Lin Yi and Ma Wenliang.

"Thank you, police officer, journalist..."

"Please don’t, it’s our duty, but remember to watch your child from now on. Making money is important, but if something happens to your child, no amount of money can bring them back."

"I understand, thank you."

Ma Wenliang helped Li Xiaoping up.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you home now."

"Thank you, officer."

"No need to thank us, it’s our duty."

In the past, Lin Yi couldn’t empathize with such a scene, but now he could.

After the filming was over, it was already past six in the evening. The three didn’t return to the station but found a place to eat.

"I never thought such places existed, eye-opening," Zhou Li said.

"Actually, there are many such places, we just don’t know about them," Lin Yi replied.

"Thinking that in unknown corners, many innocent children are being subjected to inhuman abuse, makes me uncomfortable."

Lin Yi understood Zhou Li’s sadness, if he, a man, could empathize, Zhou Li, a woman with rich emotions, surely could.

"We just need to do our part, and help those in need when we can. Even superheroes can’t save the world, let alone us."

Lin Yi raised his glass, "Let’s drink, sleep, and tomorrow will be a new day."

"Cheers."

The three clinked their glasses and drank.

"I think this episode will break the ratings records, our show will become popular again," Ma Jun said.

"I’m a bit worried about peaking too soon, good topics don’t always come along," Zhou Li said.

"I think it’s good as long as we can maintain a high position."

"True."

After eating and drinking a bit, they all went home separately.

After dinner, Lin Yi didn’t go home but went to Li Chuhan’s place and spent the night with her.

To their wonder, despite so much time passing, there was no movement in the belly, leaving both puzzled.

Early the next day, Lin Yi went to work as usual.

The latest ratings were out, reaching 1.58, the highest among all programs at the station, earning praise from the station leaders.

Lin Yi calculated that at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before the ratings exceeded two.

"Everyone, the results are out!"

After entering, Ma Jun shouted loudly.

"What results?"

"It’s about the connections, Zhang Lei and Chen Hui were fired, Qin Yuejin was transferred to logistics, Xu Jiachun was transferred to broadcast center equipment management."

"What a great day!"

The ’Nearby News’ team cheered, satisfied with the outcome.

"What about Ma Anchen and Wang Jia?" Lin Yi asked.

"Ma Anchen was demoted to program director, Wang Jia to a review editor, and neither can be nominated for excellence for five years, which is deserved."
