Chapter 362: Something in the air

Four hours after the intrusion, Chi Lian was sitting in a car with Old tiger and spider. In their hands, each was holding a pair of binoculars looking through them at a large tea plantation. Even from this distance, she could smell the scent of burned tea leaves in the air as it was carried by the wind from the plantation.

She needed no binoculars to see accurately because her vision was superior. She could see that all of the trees were covered with snow, except for the ones in green houses. This made it easy to see the people moving up and about.

The busiest area of the plantation was the manufacturing side because even though tea planting and picking could not be done in the winter, production had no assigned season.

Behind the car they were sitting in was a news van with a phoenix logo printed on the car door. In there were three reporters and three camera men who were itching with excitement to set out and do their job however they could not move unless the boss gave them a go ahead.

Squirrel and Piggy were sitting in the front with Squirrel in the driver’s position. They were here as muscle in case the reporters were threatened. They were also here to retrieve monkey in case things went sideways at the plantation.

"The police are taking too long to reach boss." Spider complained.

"They will be on time, you are just too impatient." She replied to him.

"What if they are destroying evidence in there, all these shady people always have someone in the police on their pay roll to stay ahead of investigations." Spider countered.

His worry was solid and she knew this because on the list of people who had received illegal organs from doctor Li were two policemen. One had a child who received a kidney and other had a wife who received a liver.

Both of those officers could not afford the enormous surgery fee and yet according to financial records they paid for the surgeries in full, were debt free and their children were studying in private schools.

If any of these officers got wind of the raid at the plantation, they could easily call and warn the Chu family.

However, they were not aware because Bolin was personally leading this operation with some of trusted allies. Also, she had sent two drones to keep an eye on the offices at the tea plantation and so far, everything was normal.

Workers had reported for work and stored tea leaves were being ferried from storage to the tea factory by adult and child workers. The child workers were wearing old ill-fitting jackets which probably barely kept the cold off.

They probably hadn’t eaten a bite before being sent to work. It puzzled her how the police had taken a look at any of these children and assumed that they were happy and willing to be in this place. Worse still was the fact that they believed the saw called parents who claimed that these children were working because it was an after school activity.

Chi Lian was the first to hear the sound of the sirens and her phone buzzed, indicating that she had received a text from Muyang.

"Raids on all the other culprits businesses and arrest warrants have been issued. Good luck and please be safe out there."

It was amazing how fast the royal family was working to wrap this up. The net was closing around the culprits so fast that none of them was going to be given a chance to escape.

She sent him a thumb up emoji. Then she posted as the mighty little peep star,

The mighty little peep star: [Is it just me or is there something in the air today? Why is it colder today?]

She attached a simple picture of a hill of snow piled up.

Fire baby: [Are you trying to be cryptic, what does that hill of snow represent?]

Bu Bear: [Even the streets are quiet, I think everyone has stayed in bed today.]

Shi wants a soft life: [I wish humans could hibernate in the winter like bears. All other species get to rest in winter but I am forced to brave the ice cold wind and make money for my boss while earning peanuts. I need a break 😫]

She smiled at the very first immediate response on her post; fire baby was probably her biggest fan. There was no single post made by the peep star that fire baby did not like, share and comment on. These comments were always positive and made her feel less like of an intruder into other people’s lives.

Now was not the time to respond to any of these comments or see if this random picture of snow would trend. It was time to officially bury the Chu family’s main source of income.

"Organ trafficking is their major source of income host." T4 corrected her.

"And the organs are stolen from these poor plantation workers hence the plantation is their main source of business." She retorted.

If Muyang was correct about these assets, they would be seized, auctioned off and go to the highest bidder. The money from the sale would support these workers and these children financially for the longest time.

The children would be sent to trusted orphanages if they had no families; they would go to school and would be well taken care of. This justice was the kind she could live with.

It was better than the Chu family patriarch and his bastard son being arrested and the family keeing its dirty money and continuing to thrive.

"Boss, we are being asked to leave." Old tiger told her.

There was a policeman outside of their car window and he was asking them to leave the area.

"Show him the approval letter." She told old tiger.

He lowered the car window and showed the letter to the officer. The officer frowned when he saw the content but he gave it back and walked away.

The letter was an official approval from the police commissioner and the military giving Phoenix media special permission to film and report the raid on the plantation.

It was part of her old deal with minister Su and the letter was stamped officially so it could not be refuted.

As soon as the last police car dashed past their vehicle, she gave the signal and the phoenix news van followed them speedily into the madness.
