Transmigrated & Triumphant: Defying Destiny's Chosen One

Chapter 332 - 15: "Beloved at Heart" This Volume Concludes_3

The leader was already drenched in cold sweat.

It felt like his collarbone had been shattered inch by inch, struggling to let out a scream from his throat. But somehow, he couldn’t utter that roar, only nodding in recognition after a while.

Chu River was thus satisfied.

...

Following this group, there was certainly no need to take any long-distance bus anymore. The leader drove a van himself, occasionally using it to carry passengers for work, and no one would suspect their legitimate passenger business.

At this moment, three big men were squeezed onto the back seat, with Chu Fa Da occupying the second row, while the leader drove solemnly at the front.

Chu River opened her backpack, casually took out a pack of QQ candies: "You guys are quite obedient. Now I’m going to ask a few questions, can you answer them?"

While speaking, she extended her finger and casually poked at the glass window beside her.

Little Three was horrified to see that as her finger absentmindedly poked, round little holes appeared in the window.

Clearly, she wasn’t using any force.

He gulped down a mouthful of saliva and then expressed even more devotion.

"I can answer any question you ask, I’ll tell you everything I know!"

"Little Three!"

The leader shouted from the front, and as soon as the words left his mouth, Chu River reached out directly, grabbing his hair through the car seat.

Her strength was so great, her hands so fierce, that the leader was forcibly lifted due to the pressure of the seatbelt.

Otherwise, he feared his entire scalp would be ripped off directly.

The intense pain originated from the crown of his head, the area closest to fatal danger, and tears and snot flowed simultaneously from the leader as he quickly apologized.

"Ask whatever you want, I’ll speak without reservation, I’ll say everything!"

Chu River, however, was not very polite: "Your performance isn’t very good, I should probably listen to the kids first."

"Meanwhile, it would be more satisfying for me if you drive quickly."

As she spoke, she casually released her hand.

The car instantly accelerated.

She had that kind of strength; none of the four men in the van were confident they could withstand it. Her fierce attack left them with no choice but to accept it.

Wondering who it was that didn’t like them...

...

Meanwhile, Chu River was riding in the swaying vehicle heading towards the village, while at the police station, everything had already been set in motion.

"Is there any possibility that this group is lying?"

Fang Zhou confirmed again.

Chu River glanced at the three people, her gaze icy: "If they dare to lie, the moment you sense it, I’ll crack open their skulls!"

All four shivered collectively.

Because given how resolute she had just been, there was no doubt she meant it.

...

For law enforcement to say such words...

Fang Zhou pressed on his earpiece, observing his colleagues who were also listening in on the call. He saw them looking everywhere but at him, so he didn’t say anything else.

He looked at the satellite map.

The village was surrounded by small hills, and the vegetation varied, offering concealment options. However, there were very few access roads to the village, and Li Xiaotian had already dispatched personnel for close surveillance.

With time running tight, they followed the three men’s explanation of the terrain, deciding to approach the village from Ping Lake, which was 30 minutes away — the only abandoned route without a main road.

Precisely, they could encircle the entire village from the back mountains, preventing anyone from escaping easily and avoiding Li Xiaotian from capturing hostages.

An hour and a half later, everyone was in position.

And Chu River finally, with the dilapidated van, stood upon the village’s land.

She looked around, seeing white tents scattered in the fields below, with humble-faced women, young and old, working quietly in the fields.

Almost all the men of the village wandered the periphery, patrolling back and forth.

Seeing the leader and his group and then seeing Chu River stepping onto the ground and curiously inspecting the surroundings, there was a sudden uproar among the crowd.

"Leader, you’ve brought back something good this time!"

"Whose turn is it this time?"

"This must have cost quite a bit..."

The crowd gathered around, joking and laughing, while Chu River took off her sunglasses and smiled satisfactorily.

At the same time, an order was given in her earpiece: "Start!"

Standing there, she could clearly see people quickly emerging from the distant forest, wearing camouflage and carrying weapons, swiftly rolling into the nearest stone heap—

!!!

She widened her eyes, turned to glance at the still gentle-looking Chu River, and finally gritted her teeth:

"We... should go back and tidy up our homes first."

The men paid little attention to them, as there was fresher and better stock, who cared about these women?

A few women hurriedly returned home, opening all the doors and windows first, tying up their big dogs and giving them a bowl of meat... They were trying every means to create all favorable conditions.

Striving for rescue, while trying to save themselves.

...

Deploying so many people, having such thorough intel, aided by Chu River and Fang Zhou — the former immediately controlling all adult men, while the latter, with his crisp uniform, successfully gained the trust of all victims.

Li Xiaotian no longer struggled and soon found himself isolated and helpless once more.

At this moment, he finally understood that his escape last night was intentional on the police’s part.

—He was taken back directly.

In this operation, the police secured a comprehensive victory, completely dismantling the base, destroying all illicit crops, and the entire production line as well. The small devices hidden in villagers’ homes were also thoroughly seized.

Those who had been deeply harmed yet became accomplices naturally faced appropriate punishment, while some victimized women were finally saved, now crying bitterly in the break room.

At the same time, Bai Mengyu was also taken back.

For harboring drug users and traffickers, not reporting even when knowing, even actively providing cover... Though she argued that it was due to being blinded by love, on the court, no one was likely to believe such excuses.

Even if they did, it didn’t matter.

Because love cannot override the law.

As for how Li Xiaotian was provoked by Tan Lang in prison to divulge all hidden information, Chu River was not interested.

She hadn’t spent much time here, yet she had already become deeply familiar with this land.

Now, she stood at the gate, the giant national emblem of Zheng Country above, sunlight streaming down, making her face appear almost transparent.

Fang Zhou hesitated silently not far away, even his raised steps were momentarily delayed.

In this world, many things cannot be fully understood.

The peculiarity of Little He, his earlier nightmare, and the different fates of Li Xiaotian and Bai Mengyu compared to his dream.

And himself.

But this hesitation lasted only for a moment; he quickly resumed his firm strides toward the Chu River, in whom he placed all his trust.

—Even though he has already foreseen the future.
