Chapter 74: Redemption and Annihilation

Yang Fan established contact with the puppet, but in reality, the puppet was no longer necessary. Now, all they had to do was wait for the main team to arrive.

“Leopard, I’ve helped you so much—shouldn’t there be something in it for me…?” Yang Fan rubbed his hands together, and Leopard immediately snapped back to reality. Just from the incident with A Ying, it was clear how deep Yang Fan’s patience and ruthlessness ran…

So, everything he’d shown before was just a façade! What, then, was the real truth? And what did that last sentence A Ying said really mean? What was that crucial reason she hinted at?

Leopard was leading Yang Fan into the luxurious hotel built into the mountain’s heart. He thought about it the whole way, and just as he was about to let Yang Fan and his companions in, the realization dawned on him!

But it was already too late!

“Don’t move!”

“You… How do you all have guns?” Leopard stammered in terror. Everyone, except for Chief Han, was aiming a gun at him.

Huo Xinxin instantly shed her disguise and revealed her true identity. The truth was…

“Mr. Yang, you all…”

“Did I forget to mention?” Yang Fan played with his gun, watching Leopard’s terrified face as he continued, “Not only am I the CEO of Fanmei Group, I’m also a senior SWAT officer!”

“Let me introduce a few people.” Yang Fan gestured around. “Next to me is the Chief of the Tianning City Police Department, and over there is the Chief of the Tianhai City Police Department. Beside me, we have the Captain of the Tianning SWAT Team and the Deputy Captain of the Tianhai SWAT Team!”

Leopard trembled uncontrollably…

“So, how about you cooperate with us? Of course, even if you refuse, it won’t change a thing! The Redemption organization will soon be wiped out, and you scum will face true judgment!”

“I’ll cooperate!” Leopard squeaked.

Yang Fan sneered coldly. “I don’t trust you. So think carefully—do you want me to end your life now, or will you call your boss here and try to lessen your guilt?”

Not giving Leopard a chance to react, Yang Fan shoved him to the phone—a direct line within the mountain’s core.

“Call. I’m watching you.”

At the brink of death, self-preservation prevailed. He made the call. Ten minutes later, his boss arrived. The moment he tried to flee, Huo Xinxin and Wang Yun dragged him inside. Did you really think these policewomen were just pretty faces?

“Mr. Yang, you all…”

Outside, by midnight, the main force arrived. The Shadow Hunters squad deployed and took control of several clubs.

“Xiaomei, still no news from your brother?” someone asked.

“Nope!” Ai Xiaomei replied, munching as she spoke.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat—could she be any more relaxed? At such a critical moment, she was still eating, and a SWAT officer even lugged a huge bag of snacks for her. She’d eaten since getting in the car and hadn’t stopped.

“Hey, your police dog is pretty cute! Are there any smaller ones? I like the little ones.”

Everyone was on edge, but she kept looking around, her eyes and mouth never idle.

Suddenly, Ai Xiaomei paused. “Alright, it’s time. Let’s move!”

“Move out!” Lin Ruo announced.

The main team entered the mountain. The place had already been devastated by Yang Fan—capture the ringleader, and the rest would crumble. Resistance was met with lethal force. These scumbags—death was too good for them.

Outside, the main force pressed in, heavily armed. Redemption had nowhere near the means to form an armed militia!

The first group was detained. All bodyguards, slave girls, instructors, and personnel guarding the girls were arrested.

The girls were all terrified. Even with people doing their best to comfort and help, fear gripped them.

The instruments of torture were horrifying, the crimes countless. In the fourth sector’s dump, there were even bodies of girls.

Every SWAT officer was filled with rage…

“Don’t be afraid, girls. We’re here to save you!”

But the girls just curled up on the ground, too frightened to move.

Perhaps only Ai Xiaomei’s voice brought comfort. She was sharing snacks with one of the girls.

The warehouse was found, accounts frozen, and transaction logs seized. Li Shuwei grew angrier with each page—not only businessmen, but some officials were involved.

The sums were staggering. The number of girls counted reached about 1,800, with nearly half locked in Sector 2. Xiao Liu led a team over.

Every girl had to be found.

There was also a roster provided by the slave girls themselves. Those guilty of major crimes would not be spared; even minor offenders would face justice.

This only covered those here—Li Shuwei would turn a blind eye to external cases, since establishing such a massive girls’ academy made ensuring protection a huge challenge.

As Yang Fan had said, these girls could barely remember their biological parents. Treatment would come first; if they could recover, that would be the best outcome.

“First team, load all those people onto the buses and take them back overnight.”

“Second team, get the slave girls on board.”

“Third team, seize assets and gather evidence!”

“Fourth team…”

Orders were issued one after another…

“There are too many people, Chief Zhang. We’re close to Tianhai—please dispatch some buses. Let’s take the girls to Tianning overnight,” said Li Shuwei.

“No problem!” Zhang Hai replied, hurrying off to make the calls.

Lin Ruo glanced at Wang Yun, who in turn looked at Lin Xi.

She felt unsure of herself. Maybe, she was just disappointed—now that Redemption was destroyed, there was no more chance to find Yang Fan.

His wife was here, after all…

Huo Xinxin laughed softly. Silly girl, he already has five wives—would he care about having one more?

Ai Xiaomei trailed along like a third wheel, much to Yang Fan’s annoyance…

Soon, Xiao Liu reported back—there were 800 more girls, making a total of 2,600, and many had already been sold into society.

The mayors of Tianning and Tianhai came directly. Witnessing the horror, they immediately ordered top hospital specialists to go to Tianning Girls’ Academy.

They also commended Yang Fan, though he cared little for accolades—he despised these villains and only wished for the girls who had suffered in hell to find new lives.

Yang Fan’s money was returned to him that night. He happily accepted it—after all this, he’d rescued so many girls without losing a cent, and gained six clubs and a resort.

But saving the girls was always the most important thing. That same night, provincial authorities were contacted. The girls were rescued according to the list.

A directive from the provincial capital sent shockwaves through the province.

Almost every Tianhai city bus was deployed. Yang Fan told Li Shuwei he would return to his role as CEO of Fanmei Group, and to contact him if there was another mission.

Lin Ruo drove away as Yang Fan waved to everyone, especially Wang Yun and Huo Xinxin!

Wang Yun broke into tears, longing for those days.

“Why are you crying? He’s right there in Tianning—go visit him whenever you want!”
