Chapter 861: Saved
??
Suddenly, Qiao Xi sobbed and said sweetly, “I’m fine. For the sake of those women who were kidnapped, no matter how afraid I am, I’ll cooperate with your investigation. Moreover, when those kidnappers called, I secretly recorded their voices. Perhaps I can help you solve the case!
“It’s just that I was too afraid at that time. I don’t know if I recorded it clearly.” As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi took out a recording pen from her pocket. Yuan Shan took the recording pen, and his expression instantly changed.
The recording was of the Tang family’s conversation. They had already admitted to the fact that they were trafficking people. Even after they had already earned a lot, they were still unwilling to stop.
Yuan Shan’s lips trembled slightly, and his expression was terrifyingly gloomy. “Mrs. Gu, you took the risk to record this and provided important evidence for our investigation. I thank you on behalf of all the victims.”
It turned out that it was not that Mrs. Gu was not afraid but she was just pretending to be calm to collect evidence. Although she was just a weak woman who did not have the strength to truss a chicken, she was smart enough to make a recording when she was kidnapped. Mrs. Gu was not only beautiful but also intelligent. No wonder President Gu cared about her so much.
…
Soon, several police cars and ambulances arrived. When Qiao Xi saw dozens of disheveled women being carried out, her eyes could not help but turn red.
No one would have thought that the Tang family, who had always been thought of as a scholarly family, would do such a dirty and heartless thing behind everyone’s backs in order to earn money.
The cries of the women filled the entire warehouse. Perhaps they thought that they would never be able to escape in their lives and their hearts were already dead. They did not expect to be able to escape in their lifetime. They hugged each other and cried about their tragic fate.
Qiao Xi did not know how long these women had been trapped here. The Tang family imprisoned them here. Other than beating and scolding them, they were also humiliated. It was impossible to know if they were even fed and clothed sufficiently. They lived a life worse than death.
If Second Brother had not found out about such a dark matter, with the Tang family’s current power and methods, when would these women be saved?
They were sobbing uncontrollably as if they were about to cry a river. It caused Qiao Xi to be unable to help herself from crying too.
“Miss Qiao?” Ye Qingyuan brought a group of doctors over and gestured for the others to treat the women first. He walked in front of Qiao Xi and spoke gently.
Qiao Xi sniffed. “Doctor Ye, do you know that the original heir of the Tang family was Old Master Tang’s eldest son, Tang Yan? He knew that Old Master Tang was secretly trafficking people and had always been fighting against Old Master Tang. He wanted to uphold justice even if it meant his family would suffer. In the end, he was killed by the Tang family. They’re all clearly surnamed Tang, so why are they so different?”
Ye Qingyuan hesitated for a moment. “This is the first time I’ve seen you so sad. Are you blaming yourself?”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes in surprise.
“At this moment, your eyes are filled with self-reproach. Are you thinking that if you had found this place earlier, perhaps many women wouldn’t have been killed? I’m really curious why the usually weak Mrs. Gu would risk her life this time?
“In the past, I’ve heard people talk about you, Miss Qiao. According to most of them, you don’t have a good reputation. They say that you only have good looks but your character is extremely bad. Now that I’ve seen you, I realize that the rumors outside can’t be trusted.”
Ye Qingyuan had always thought that Qiao Xi was an extremely weak woman, so when he found out that Gu Zheng had bullied her until she fainted, he even blamed Gu Zheng. Now, it seemed that Mrs. Gu was not as weak as he had imagined.
He raised his eyes to glance at Qiao Xi and said meaningfully, “Actually, I came here to remind you that the next time you do such a dangerous thing, you must tell Ah Zheng first so that he won’t worry.”
Qiao Xi was instantly stunned.
“Don’t think Gu Zheng is always calm like how he looks now. Actually, when he found out that you were going to risk your life last night, he seemed to have changed into a different person. He has always been calm. Even when his life was threatened, I’ve never seen him blink. However, when he heard that you were going to walk into a lion’s den last night, his eyes were filled with fear. You might not have thought that this mission was a big deal, but he couldn’t allow you to be in danger at all.
“You must have completed many missions before this. With the experts of Ling Pavilion protecting you as well, you definitely wouldn’t be afraid. But Gu Zheng simply can’t let you be in danger.”
Although Ye Qingyuan was Gu Zheng’s good friend, Qiao Xi had only spoken a few words to him. Now that she heard him say such heartfelt words, she was slightly surprised.
