Chapter 353: Three hundred fifty-two, find the child Chapter 353: Three hundred fifty-two, find the child “Can we find them?” Zhang Lan kept her tears flowing. It felt like a dream to her, and she truly hoped it was just a nightmare.
“We can find them, rest assured!” Song Yan Ning answered confidently. Others might not be able to find them, but she and Qin Yushen both possessed Divine Sense. No kidnapper, even if they had taken a car, could escape their Divine Sense within such a short time.
“Doctor Song, please, I beg you…” Zhang Lan pleaded tearfully with Song Yan Ning. With Song Yan Ning’s wide network of connections, finding the child might be easier. For now, all she could do was worry and wait for news. Someone had already helped her report to the police, and with Doctor Song’s assistance, perhaps the child could be retrieved. That was all she could hope for now.
“I will do my best.” Song Yan Ning handed Zhang Lan over to Granny Wang and walked away with Qin Yushen from the crowd.
“We’ve found them, they’re in a village on the outskirts of the city,” Qin Yushen said, immediately releasing his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings. With his Divine Sense, those people could dig three feet under without any use.
Song Yan Ning swept the area with her Divine Sense, and a flash of anger passed through her eyes. “Let’s go now.” These child traffickers were truly monstrous, breaking the arms of the older children they abducted. She had heard of such things before but never expected them to be true.
“Boss, look, I’ve caught another baby,” the old woman walked into the room, joyfully carrying the baby she had just snatched from Zhang Lan. Compared to the older children, such young infants were worth more money.
“Is it a boy?” the boss asked, looking toward the baby in the old woman’s arms.
“Yes.” The old woman walked forward, pulling back the towel covering the baby to show the boss.
“Very good!” The boss nodded in satisfaction. He had already received an order for a boy under one year of age, and this one was perfect.
“Wah!” The baby cried out loudly.
The old woman glanced down and walked into a room, holding what was not just a child to her, but money, and naturally, she treated him with care. Otherwise, what would she do if the buyer was dissatisfied because the child was too thin or weak?
Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen dropped silently into the yard. They had already scanned the area with Divine Sense and identified four people—three men and an old woman inside, including the old woman who had kidnapped Zhang Lan’s child.
The boss was watching a short video on his phone when he heard footsteps at the door and looked up. “Who are you?” His hand quickly moved to his waist, ready to react at any moment. His first thought was that they might be police officers.
The other two men, hearing the noise, rushed in. Seeing Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen, they paused, puzzled. They had just been at the door; how had they not seen anyone enter?
The boss signaled his men with a glance, and they quickly understood, charging toward Song Yan Ning and Qin Yushen.
Qin Yushen turned and kicked sideways, sending the two men flying.
Seeing how formidable Qin Yushen was, the boss felt a flicker of panic. His eyes turned sinister as he glanced at Song Yan Ning, reached for his homemade weapon at his waist, and lunged at her. If he could control this woman, he didn’t believe the man would not compromise.
Song Yan Ning had already anticipated his intention. Before she could even react, Qin Yushen had already dashed forward, kicking the man away.
The old woman, who was feeding the baby, came out holding the child. Seeing several people lying on the ground, her face changed, and she quickly tried to escape back into the room.
Song Yan Ning was faster; in a blink, she appeared in front of the old woman and, with lightning speed, snatched the child from her hands.
At the same time, she kicked the old woman away. If it weren’t for the fact that this world did not allow random killing, she wouldn’t have spared any of them.
The boss, in pain, grimaced and saw Qin Yushen looking toward Song Yan Ning. He slowly raised his homemade weapon and took aim at Qin Yushen.
A crazed smile spread across his face. If he could hit this man, the woman would no longer be a threat; plus, she was beautiful and would fetch a good price.
However, his smile froze on his face the next moment as he saw Qin Yushen raise a hand and catch the bullet he had just fired between his fingers. Was this something a human could do? He liked watching martial arts films, but those were all special effects. There were no real martial arts masters in this world, or so he thought until today.
Song Yan Ning, holding the child, walked over to Qin Yushen, looked at the boss, and asked, “What should we do with them?”
“I’ll call Zhou Jin to handle this.” This was a minor issue that he could resolve with just a phone call.
Song Yan Ning nodded and handed the small infant to Qin Yushen. “Hold him for a while; I need to check on those other children.” Those children’s injuries needed treatment to prevent permanent disabilities.
Qin Yushen awkwardly took the baby. This was his first time holding a child.
Seeing how Qin Yushen fumbled, Song Yan Ning couldn’t help but laugh.
A bit embarrassed, Qin Yushen chuckled and looked at the child in his hands. Consider it practice for when he and Xiao Ning have children so he wouldn’t be this flustered.
Song Yan Ning entered the cottage where the children were kept, pushed open the door, and saw about a dozen children inside, ranging from as young as four or five to teenagers.
Seeing Song Yan Ning enter, all the children huddled together, some even starting to tremble. Despite Song Yan Ning’s beautiful appearance, they didn’t know if she was another bad person.
Noticing the children’s wary, fearful eyes, Song Yan Ning shook her head. “Don’t be afraid; I’m not a bad person.” These children must’ve been terrified.
“Are you really not a bad person?” a small girl timidly asked.
Song Yan Ning smiled warmly. “Do I look like a bad person?”
“Not really, but the people who captured us didn’t look like bad people either, yet they were very bad.”
“Are you really not a bad person?”
Song Yan Ning shook her head, walked to the girl who had spoken, and reached out to rub her head. “Let me check your hand.”
The little girl eyed Song Yan Ning for a while before slowly extending her hand, wincing in pain as she did. The memory of being captured filled her eyes with fear.
“Don’t be afraid; I’ll heal you,” Song Yan Ning said gently, applying slight pressure. She had to reposition the girl’s broken bone properly; otherwise, even with elixir, her hand couldn’t return to normal.
“Ah!” the girl cried out in pain, tears uncontrollably streaming down her face.
The others, witnessing the scene, fearfully closed their eyes. They had felt the same pain when their bones were broken.
