Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Beware of the Fu Family Members

The night was deep, neon lights were just starting to flicker, and not far away, blasting music was mixed with the laughter and excited screams of young men and women.

Only this secluded corner of the courtyard remained especially silent, so quiet that only Shen Yanhe and Shen Zhong’s breathing could be heard.

After a long time, Shen Yanhe slowly turned around, her gaze fixed tightly on Shen Zhong, her hand by her side clenched into a fist, her voice rough with a touch of hoarseness, "Where have you been all these years? Why did you disappear back then?"

"Where were you when Mom had her accident?"

"Where were you when Shen Huai was critically ill?"

Shen Zhong remained silent.

Shen Yanhe couldn’t stand his silence, not uttering a single word, so she quickly stepped forward, grabbed his collar with one hand, and pulled him in front of her, her eyes slightly red.

Through gritted teeth, she demanded, "Answer me!"

Shen Zhong’s gaze was heavy as he looked at Shen Yanhe, his eyes filled with deep pain, his voice hoarse, and his eyes were reddening, "Yanyan, I’m sorry."

"Who needs your sorry!" Shen Yanhe bit her lip and released Shen Zhong.

Shen Zhong looked at her, his mouth opened slightly as he wanted to tell her all the truth, but the continuous and deep bone-piercing pain in his brain made his fingers tremble slightly, and he managed to say, "I can’t tell you the reason for my disappearance for now, Yanyan, you just need to know, dad won’t hurt you."

In the darkness.

Shen Zhong clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging on his forehead, yet he tried to keep his tone calm, "The reason I sent you the note was partly to ask you to bring the police and rescue these innocent girls, and on the other hand, to tell you to stay away from the Fu Family."

"The Fu Family is dangerous, not as ordinary as you imagine."

Shen Yanhe frowned slightly, puzzled as she looked at Shen Zhong, "What do you mean?"

Shen Zhong took a deep breath, suppressing the pain in his brain, trying not to let Shen Yanhe realize something was amiss, and hinted vaguely, "For now, I can only tell you that the immortal organization is related to the Fu Family."

"That blond man, he can’t die yet."

Shen Yanhe was taken aback for a moment, her eyebrows slowly knitting together.

The immortal organization is related to the Fu Family?

But why, when Fu Yanhe took over the Fu Corporation and bankrupted the Fu Family, hadn’t she seen anyone from the immortal organization?

"Shen Huai’s illness," pain crossed Shen Zhong’s face as he closed his eyes and said, "I will try to cure him, and if I really can’t, let him go earlier."

After saying this, Shen Zhong no longer rambled, but quickly added, "Yanyan, I’m entrusting you with rescuing the girls that were abducted."

He looked in the direction of Shen Yanhe deeply, his mouth awkwardly curving into a slight unsightly smile, "Yanyan has grown up and become a very impressive person; dad is proud of you."

Shen Yanhe was stunned.

"Yanyan, remember this, be careful of the Fu Family."

Shen Zhong looked at her deeply, and after saying his last words, he resolutely turned and walked into the room, lifted the unconscious blond man from the bed, climbed out the back window, and quickly vanished into the night.

As soon as he left, Qi Fang burst in with his men, "My Lady."

"I just saw someone escape, and I’ve sent people to pursue them, are you hurt at all?"

"No," Shen Yanhe came back to her senses and shook her head, her voice low, "Call them back, don’t chase, let them go."

Qi Fang was startled for a moment, then nodded, "Understood."

After calling back his people, Shen Yanhe instructed, "Search every room here, rescue all the people who were abducted, and leave no one behind."

Upon hearing this, the girl’s eyes brightened, and she quickly said, "I know where the others are being held, I’ll lead the way for you."

Qi Fang nodded and led his men to follow the girl.

Lu Wan heard the noise outside and quickly led the girls, who had just awakened from unconsciousness and were still confused, out of the storeroom.

They huddled together anxiously, their eyes filled with panic and fear.

Seeing Shen Yanhe also standing in the middle of the courtyard, Lu Wan, who had been very scared, quickly clung to her and didn’t dare to wander off.

Shen Yanhe did not send her away and stood quietly and silently.

Before long, Luo Bu’s subordinates came out with girls who were almost naked, wrapped only in their jackets and without an unmarred spot on their bodies.

Among the rescued were also some young, naive children, all skinny to the bone with wounds on their exposed skin and very hazy complexions.

Shen Yanhe’s expression suddenly darkened.

Lu Wan and the girls, who had just been trafficked and had not yet been harmed, all widened their eyes and covered their mouths in shock, "Heavens..."

At that moment, Qi Fang came out holding a little girl in his arms, rushing, "Madame, she has a high fever and convulsions, and has fallen into a deep coma."

Shen Yanhe rolled up her sleeve, revealing the wrist guard with Golden Needles, and quickly stepped forward, "Lay her down on the ground."

Qi Fang laid the girl down, and Shen Yanhe quickly checked her body, finding traces of abuse and a deep wound on her thigh that had started to rot, emanating a stench of decayed flesh.

But fortunately, she had not been violated.

It was merely a high fever caused by an infection from the wound.

Shen Yanhe made a swift decision, inserted needles into the girl’s major acupoints, and took out a bottle of medicine from her pocket, from which she took a pill and stuffed it into the girl’s mouth.

After doing all this, the girl, whose face was flushed red, breathing heavy, and voice hoarse like a dog’s bark, gradually calmed down, and her tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"She has a high fever caused by an infected wound, we need to send her to the hospital quickly for treatment, and to administer a tetanus shot," Shen Yanhe said.

The items Shen Yanhe carried were only enough to perform first aid on the girl to stabilize her condition, extending the golden window for rescue.

Now, the most urgent task was to get her to a hospital immediately.

"Okay, I’ll have someone take her to the hospital right away," Qi Fang hurriedly passed the girl to a female Luo Bu member and arranged for two people to accompany her to the hospital.

Shen Yanhe looked around, her gaze lingering on the extremely weakened, dazed-looking girls who had been rescued and still hadn’t recovered, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "Send them to the hospital as well, inform the police, and please arrange for a psychologist to provide them with psychological guidance."

"And for those who have family, notify their relatives. For those without, give them some money to ensure their livelihood for a while," she continued.

As she spoke, Shen Yanhe took out a card and handed it to Qi Fang, "The money for the psychologist and for them can be deduced from my card."

Whoever has gone through trafficking and suffering will not be able to accept it in their hearts, will collapse, and may even harbor thoughts of suicide.

She would help as many as she could now.

Qi Fang solemnly took the card from her hand, nodded, and went down to make arrangements.

To comfort the girls, Qi Fang arranged for female Luo Bu members to approach them, soothe them, and escort them to the hospital, while male members stayed five to six meters away to avoid scaring them or causing any stress response.

Watching them being taken to the hospital one by one, soon only Luo Bu people and Lu Wan, who had not left, remained in the courtyard.

Lu Wan still felt scared and had developed a psychological shadow towards men; she did not dare to follow the Luo Bu people and stuck close to Shen Yanhe.

Shen Yanhe turned her head to glance at her, took out a mobile phone, and handed it to her, "Call your family to come pick you up."

Lu Wan was startled, seemingly in disbelief that Shen Yanhe would suddenly speak to her, and hurriedly took the phone with delight, dialing her mother’s number.

As soon as the call connected, Lu Wan couldn’t help crying, "Mom, I’m so scared..."

As she and her mother tearfully shared her ordeal, Shen Yanhe turned and went to the storeroom.

She wanted to ask Luo Bu about the whereabouts of the girls who had been trafficked over the years.
