Chapter 511: Seeking Accountability 3
Chapter 511 Seeking Justice 3
Director Gong regretted: Alas, the meritorious deed that was handed to us on a silver platter, just because we waited to catch the leader of the Human Trafficking Group during their meet-up, we let the real human trafficker leader slip through our fingers.
Not only is the merit no longer linked with us, but also the thirty thousand reward, all of which has no association with us now!
Even worse, at this moment we still have to face the wrath of this client,
Mengyu questioned: "The human trafficker took the abducted girls to have dinner at the Red Sun Restaurant, which is two kilometers outside of the city, and the target vehicle was parked in the parking area by the road.
When those abducted girls got out of the car to have their meal, a human trafficker grabbed a girl in the car and began to assault her; she struggled desperately and cried loudly for help. You were tailing right behind their car; how could you possibly not have noticed such a situation?
If you didn’t see it, then what kind of tracking do you call yourselves doing? If you did see it, why didn’t you go to save her first?"
Mengyu grew more and more indignant: "When the life and property of the people are being violated, when the victimised women are crying out loudly,
even if you couldn’t hear the cries for help, you should have been able to tell - a girl was being pulled by a man and not allowed to get out of the car, being pressed down onto the seat, what do you think was happening?"
Wang Huilan, listening to Mengyu say this, then realized that these people hadn’t failed to find them, but instead, had found them, yet failed to rescue them in time.
She pointed at Director Gong furiously: "You, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform, you’re too cold-blooded!"
She was again reminded of being pressed down in the seat by Ah Sheng, and her body started trembling uncontrollably, she burst into loud sobs, almost reaching the brink of emotional collapse.
Mengyu had seen her previously so calm and had thought she had recovered, but in fact, she had been forcefully suppressing her emotions, and now, upon seeing those who had witnessed her tragedy and did nothing, she could no longer hold back.
Director Liu saw Wang Huilan pointing at Director Gong and scolding him for being cold-blooded; he wanted to interrupt but realized that the girl was breaking down in tears and suddenly understood - this girl was the one who had been assaulted by the human trafficker inside the car.
Mengyu quickly grabbed her wrist and channeled a stream of Spiritual Energy, "Calm down, deep breaths, deep breaths."
Wang Huilan gradually stopped crying under Mengyu’s comfort.
Director Gong hung his head low, his face showing shame, anger, and a hint of feeling wronged: "We just followed behind and stayed put, that was the Xiangyang County Bureau’s request."
Mengyu was furious in her heart: It was that absurd Mr. Lai again.
But she still asked again: "Are you sure?"
Director Gong said with certainty: "Yes, after you, Vice County Magistrate Wen, called us, Director Lai also called. He instructed that since so many girls were trafficked from one place, and a newcomer was taking them over, there would definitely be a leader from the Human Trafficking Group coming for a meet-up.
Therefore, after we located the target vehicle, we could not alert them under any circumstances; we could only report the situation to them, then follow behind the target vehicle, waiting for the leader who was there to receive the abducted women to appear and capture them all at once.
As for that roadside restaurant, we were actually too far away at the time and really didn’t see things clearly, so for the greater good—"
Jiang Mengyu slammed her palm on the table: "Neglecting a life in distress, nonsense about the greater good, nothing but an excuse! You lost your subsidy, and your bonus is gone too. Let’s go!"
Jiang Mengyu fiercely led Wang Huilan away with a proud and resolute demeanor.
