The verdict was announced, bringing great satisfaction to an enraged public.
Human trafficking has always been one of the most detested crimes. This nationwide crackdown not only dismantled the country's largest human trafficking syndicate but also uprooted the long-hidden blight of Taoyuan Village. It was a momentous event for all of Huaguo.
Everyone was following the case. Television, newspapers, and radio stations provided continuous coverage, and the public's interest showed no signs of fading.
When Beard and the other convicts were led out after sentencing, they were met not only by a swarm of reporters but also by the victims' families, who were even more agitated.
More than half of the victims' families from across the country had gathered in the Imperial City. Whether they had found their children or not, they all stayed.
They were waiting for the verdict, waiting to see the fate of the villains who had ruined their lives.
