Chapter 130 Preparing to Close the Net! Entering the Backyard of the Good Children's Hall!
Upon receiving the praise, Wei Shan trembled with excitement!
"You flatter me, Immortal Master!"
"It is my honor to share the burdens of the Immortal Master!"
"good!"
Zhang Fan nodded.
"Then it's settled!"
"At midnight, I'll be waiting for you at the back door of Shantong Hall!"
"Yes! Yes! I'll definitely be there on time! Just you wait and see, Immortal Master!"
Wei Shan was pardoned, stood up, and respectfully withdrew.
Watching his retreating figure, Zhang Fan's smile vanished, replaced by murderous intent.
……
The two walked out of Ji Honglou, and it was already completely dark.
The streets of Changzi County are lit up, but crime continues to occur beneath the surface of prosperity.
Fusu followed behind Zhang Fan and asked in a low voice:
"Teacher, where are we going now?"
Zhang Fan didn't answer, and took out the black phone from his pocket.
He walked to a secluded corner and pressed the call button.
The phone rang only once before it was answered.
A steady voice came from the receiver; it was Zhu Feng, the head of Bureau 749.
"Comrade Zhang Fan, how is the situation?"
Zhu Feng's voice was tense.
"The fish has taken the bait."
Zhang Fan spoke directly, his voice cold.
"I have confirmed that it is Feng Jing, the prefect of Shangdang Commandery, and Wei Sheng, the head of the powerful Wei family!"
"Deeply involved in the child trafficking case!"
"They will be holding an event in the backyard of the Good Children's Hall tonight at midnight!"
"I will be led by Wei Sheng's son, Wei Shan, to infiltrate the transaction site."
He speaks very quickly, but every word is clear.
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhang Fan could hear the sound of keyboard typing and hushed discussions coming from the other end.
The 749 Bureau's command center is rapidly analyzing the intelligence he provided.
A few seconds later.
Zhu Feng's voice rang out again, this time filled with determination!
"Comrade Zhang Fan, the Strategic Analysis Department of Bureau 749 has completed its emergency assessment!"
The conclusion is: tonight is the best time to close the net!
"If we miss tonight, we'll have to wait until this batch of 'goods' is delivered!"
"Further investigation will be extremely difficult!"
"We must destroy this criminal base in Shangdang County and track down the 'big shots' behind them!"
"The only problem!"
Zhu Feng's tone became serious.
"Mobilizing the prefect's troops will take time!"
"We must have our own armed forces inside the city to ensure the operation's success!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Fan's lips curled into a smile.
"Troop strength is not a problem."
He said it casually.
"Today is the day that the conscripted laborers I ordered will arrive in Changzi County."
"My thousand soldiers!"
"They could change into civilian clothes and blend into the city as conscripts."
"It's easy to gather a group of people who have already joined."
Zhu Feng, on the other end of the phone, fell silent again.
He didn't expect that Zhang Fan had already made preparations.
This man not only possesses formidable personal martial prowess, but also meticulous strategic thinking!
"Great! That's wonderful!"
Zhu Feng's voice was filled with excitement!
"Comrade Zhang Fan, command is now fully transferred to you!"
"Bureau 749 will fully cooperate with your operation!"
"If you need any support, just let me know!"
"clear."
Zhang Fan hung up the phone.
He turned around and looked at Fusu beside him.
At this moment, Fusu was already very excited.
"Fusu!" Zhang Fan's voice was serious.
"Students are here!" Fusu immediately stood up straight.
"Take my token and go to the corvée camp in the east of the city. Find a centurion named Wang Hu."
Zhang Fan handed a token engraved with the words "Zhenwu" to Fu Shou.
"Tell him to immediately gather all the lurking brothers!"
"Change into your best clothes and grab your weapons!"
"Secretly surround all the streets surrounding the Good Child Hall before midnight!"
"Remember, act quickly and discreetly!"
"No one is allowed to move until I give the signal!"
"Not a single fly is allowed to escape!"
"The student understands!"
Fusu took the token, feeling the texture of the metal, and a sense of mission weighed on his shoulders.
He nodded emphatically, his eyes filled with a determination for revenge!
"Go quickly!"
"yes!"
Without hesitation, Fusu turned and disappeared into the night.
Watching Fusu's departing figure, Zhang Fan raised his head and looked up at the night sky obscured by dark clouds.
Tonight, Changzi County is destined to be anything but peaceful.
Tonight, this place will be utterly destroyed!
……
It's almost midnight.
The back door of Shantongtang is located deep in a secluded alley.
No one comes here on weekdays, and the air is filled with the stench of rotting garbage.
Zhang Fan stood in a dark corner, his figure concealed.
Not long after.
Footsteps came from the alley entrance.
Wei Shan ran over, and when he saw Zhang Fan, he quickly went to him.
"Immortal...Immortal Master, I've arrived!"
He was panting as he pulled two demon masks from his pocket and handed one to Zhang Fan.
"Immortal Master, please bear with us, the guards inside only recognize tokens!"
"But just in case, let's wear masks."
Zhang Fan took the mask and put it on without saying a word.
The mask concealed the murderous intent on his face.
Upon seeing this, Wei Shan also put on his mask.
He rubbed his hands together, walked to the wooden door, and knocked three times in a peculiar rhythm.
The door opened a crack.
Upon seeing Wei Shan and his token, the people inside immediately opened the door completely, allowing them to enter.
After the two entered, the door closed behind them.
Upon entering the Good Children's Hall, the surroundings became unusually quiet.
The atmosphere here is completely different from that during the day.
There wasn't a single child, not a single servant, not even the sound of insects. The entire courtyard was eerily quiet.
"Immortal Master, this way please!"
Wei Shan lowered his voice and led Zhang Fan around the front yard, heading towards the back yard.
The further in you go, the stronger the stench of blood becomes. It's a smell that's a mixture of herbs and fresh blood.
The layout of the backyard is more complex than that of the front yard.
There are many artificial hills and winding corridors.
Wei Shan led Zhang Fan to a stop in front of an artificial hill.
He reached out and pressed something on the artificial hill.
The mechanism clicked, and one side of the artificial hill cracked open, revealing a secret passage leading underground.
A gust of wind blew out from the secret passage, carrying an even stronger stench of blood.
"Immortal Master, please!"
Wei Shan gestured for him to enter and went in first.
Zhang Fan followed closely behind.
The passage was very long, with an oil lamp lit every few meters along the wall.
After walking about a hundred steps, a spacious underground space appeared ahead.
There were guards here; several men wielding sharp blades swept their gazes over.
When they saw Wei Shan and the token in his hand, their wary eyes faded, they bowed and opened the way.
Passing through the guards, the scene inside.
Zhang Fan, who was wearing a mask, had his pupils shrink!
This is a huge underground cave, with an area as large as a drill ground!
The air was thick with a nauseating smell of blood and medicine!
Inside the grotto, rows of cold iron cages were placed.
In each of the iron cages, several children lay sprawled out!
The vast majority of them were girls, and all of them were unconscious.
Most of the children were stripped naked, their thin bodies covered with bruises!
Like livestock awaiting slaughter, they were piled up haphazardly.
And what's even more shocking!
It is another small group of girls.
They were wearing striking bright red wedding gowns!
The wedding dress was crudely made, but its color was an eerily bright red!
