Watching Kanna disappear into the street, Yuki immediately ran to the entrance of the Guard Department. Seeing the Operators coming and going, Yuki didn't know who to turn to.
"Isn't that Miss Yuki? What are you doing standing here?" A familiar voice came from behind her, and she turned around, overjoyed.
She saw Swire and Hoshiguma walking together from outside.
She immediately told them about encountering Kanna.
After hearing Yuki's report, both of them instantly felt a sense of dread. Although Kanna was usually associated with trouble wherever she went, Lungmen was truly not where they wanted trouble, especially something like child abduction.
"I remember Kanna's squad is resting at a hotel in Lungmen. Did you tell them?" Swire asked anxiously.
Yuki shook her head. She had been so busy with her own affairs these past two days that she had no idea about Rhodes Island and Lungmen's plan to establish a large hospital, and thus, was completely unaware of Kanna Squad's arrival.
"Good then. Hoshiguma, you drive. I'll track Kanna's personal terminal. We'll make sure to send these damn guys to prison before things get out of control." Swire had no time for small talk now and rushed towards a motorcycle.
As the motorcycle started, everyone at the Guard Department entrance noticed that Swire, who was always remembered as elegant, now appeared fiery and impetuous, much like Sir Chen used to be.
Meanwhile, Kanna obediently followed the old woman into a car. The people inside saw that Kanna was very well-behaved, sitting silently after getting in, so they abandoned any attempts to intimidate her.
After entering the car, Kanna realized that this organization was quite bold. Besides herself, there were several other children no older than ten years old in the car.
However, apart from her, the others had more or less some scars on their faces. Seeing the burly man following Kanna, they all fearfully huddled further into the car.
At this moment, the burly man who brought Kanna also felt that Kanna's expression was somewhat unusual. He grabbed Kanna's shoulder.
"Little one, aren't you scared?"
Kanna lightly squatted down, dodging his big hand.
"Scared of what? That old lady said she'd take me back to see my mother. To be honest, I've never seen my mother since I was born!"
Hearing Kanna's words, the burly man paused, then said, "Then stay put, don't move around."
After the man left, Kanna extended her other hand. A ring was on it. The next second, one ring became three, and a personal terminal also appeared on her wrist.
It turned out that when she was taken away by the old woman, Kanna had hidden the hand with the ring underneath. The old woman was in a hurry, fearing discovery by parents, and didn't check if Kanna was carrying anything on her.
Soon after, another girl was
brought in, then the car door closed, and the vehicle slowly drove away.
Kanna was now curious where these human traffickers were planning to take so many children.
Before long, the vehicle arrived at an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Lungmen, and all the children were driven out of the car.
Here, Kanna saw that there were dozens more children in the factory.
"Why so few today?"
"Some medical enterprise came from outside, so the streets of Lungmen have been full of cops during the day these past two days. There's no way to act. We could only bring out these little things during the night market when it's chaotic."
"Alright, then lock them up first and wait for the Doctor to come back and examine them. Hope there are more 'pure goods' in this batch, not like before, all a bunch of oripathy mongrels that can't be sold for a good price."
Another man's voice came over.
From their words, it was clear that these people were not new to child abduction. They even had specialized medical examinations and distribution channels. The fact that they could steal so many children in a day showed it was a big business.
At night, everyone was locked in a small room. Before entering, Kanna suddenly turned her head to stare at the man at the door.
"The old woman who brought me here said I could see my mother. Where is my mother?"
Hearing Kanna's words, the few people at the door burst into laughter.
"Little one, still looking for your mother? Don't worry, if you're healthy, you'll definitely have a new mother. Just forget the old one..."
Kanna shook her head and turned to enter the room.
Mainly, when she got out of the car, she saw tire tracks outside from three different vehicles, but there was only one car here now. Clearly, there were still people outside. If she killed these people now, wouldn't it alert the accomplices and let them escape?
In this cold room, everyone was cold and hungry. After the terrifying adults left, most of the children couldn't help but cry loudly.
Kanna looked outside at the adults who clearly didn't care, then turned to look at the children and noticed that the last girl to enter wasn't crying with the others, but was staring resolutely at the door.
"Aren't you scared?" Kanna asked curiously.
"Scared! But they shouldn't have caught me. If there's no news of me, my parents will definitely start looking. I'm different from you... these children. I'm a noble from Yan. Even if Wei Yenwu doesn't get along with my father, he will mobilize the Lungmen Guard Department to find my whereabouts. By then, none of the guys outside will escape."
The girl originally wanted to say that she was different from Kanna, but seeing Kanna's seemingly expensive clothes, she changed her target to the other children.
Kanna now scrutinized the other party. Indeed, the girl was wearing the most popular and expensive style in Lungmen at the moment. She had seen it once while shopping with Lady Fumizuki, who even asked if Kanna wanted it, but Kanna, being used to the Rhodes Island uniform, refused her offer, which made Lady Fumizuki regretful for a while.
And hearing her call Lungmen Governor Wei Yenwu by his full name, Kanna roughly guessed the identity of her family.
"So you're from an official family. Is your father from the Inspection Department?"
"How did you know! Do you know me?" The girl was a bit flustered, not expecting this somewhat cute Kanna to guess her family background with just one sentence.
"By the way, what's your name?" Kanna continued to ask.
"Lin Yuxia." After Kanna exposed her family identity, the girl clearly lost her ability to think; as soon as Kanna asked, she blurted it out.
"What is your relationship to Lin Qingyan?" Upon hearing the other party's surname and her father's job position, Kanna immediately thought of that electric Qilin in Rhodes Island. Looking at it now, the girl's horns did indeed resemble those of a Qilin.
