Chapter 540: Rescue and Self-Rescue – Part 1

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If it’s not for money, then it must be for… her?

But how could Jiang Nai, a little girl, offend these people and provoke them to act against her?

Relying solely on the surveillance footage of the kidnapping was not enough. Without being able to confirm the identity of the perpetrators, there’s no way to carry out a rescue operation.

“The other party is a professional criminal gang, and Jiang Nai is not the first missing girl.”

“In the past week alone, there have been five girls and three children missing, all likely the work of the same group.”

Qin Lu’s words made both Old Master An and Old Master Lu even more nervous.

“In recent years, there have been frequent cases of women and children being kidnapped in our country, but mostly in remote mountain villages and small towns. Jin City is a first-tier major city, how could these people be so rampant!”

“Should we call the police? Let the police help us find her?”

The two elders were so anxious that they had forgotten to call the police until now.

Nan Yan said in a deep voice, “Yes, let’s report it to the police. This kind of criminal gang must have records in the police station. Let’s see if the police have any clues.”

After reporting to the police, officers came to gather information.

Soon, a police car arrived at the Lu residence.

“Captain Fan?” Nan Yan looked somewhat surprised at Fan Heping, who came out of the police car. “Why are you here?”

Fan Heping belonged to the military district. Had the military already been mobilized for this case?

It seems that the situation is more serious than she thought.

Fan Heping nodded to her, then looked at Qin Lu and snorted, “Since this brat is here, I naturally have to come in person.”

Qin Lu spoke lightly, “Captain Fan, I haven’t offended you recently, have I?” Fan Heping slapped him on the shoulder and said gruffly, “Hurry up and come back to the bureau with me. Your help is needed in this kidnapping case!”

Fan Heping had known Qin Lu for a long time and naturally knew his capabilities.

This kidnapping case had only appeared a week ago, and already dozens of girls and children had gone missing, making the situation extremely serious.

Especially since the fate of the missing persons, whether they were alive or dead, was still unknown.

Orders from above had been issued to quickly solve this kidnapping case and rescue the abducted individuals.

Fan Heping had been called in to assist the local police force’s special task force and was the head of the action team. He was under immense pressure, not having slept for days due to being busy.

He had applied for specialized personnel to come and help, but even after their arrival, they had not been able to track down the kidnappers.

So now, seeing Qin Lu, Fan Heping felt like he had encountered a savior. No matter what it took, he had to take him back with him!

Qin Lu didn’t hesitate and nodded, “Okay.”

Nan Yan spoke coolly, “I’m going too.”

Fan Heping squinted at her, his expression particularly serious. “Kid, this is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to get involved?”

He knew Nan Yan was skilled with a gun, a promising sharpshooter.

And initially, he had entertained the idea of bringing her into the military district.

But she had refused.

Perhaps, could he take advantage of this opportunity to bring her over?

“I’m sure,” Nan Yan’s tone was firm. “My sister is also among the kidnapped people. I want to go save her.”

While Old Master An and Old Master Lu didn’t want Nan Yan to take risks, Hua Shifang spoke up, “Let Yanyan go. With her presence, it will greatly assist in solving this case.”

Hua Shifang was well aware of the capabilities of his apprentice. Saving lives was a big deal, and as long as one had the ability, one should contribute.

Nan Yan said, “Yes, I want to contribute.”

Qin Lu squeezed her hand tightly and promised to the several elders,

“Grandfathers and Elder Hua, rest assured, I will take care of Yanyan.”

Old Master An looked at the determined faces of the group and didn’t say anything more. He could only entrust, “Ah Lu, I’ll leave Yanyan to you, protect her!”

“Got it.”

Time was of the essence, so Qin Lu and Nan Yan followed Fan Heping to the police station.

On the way, Fan Heping briefed them on everything he knew about the kidnapping case. What remained was for them to investigate.

“So, until now, apart from the news about the kidnapped girls and children, there’s no information about the kidnapping gang?”

Nan Yan was somewhat surprised that the police had such scant clues.

After all, it had been a full seven days.

“You must have seen the videos of the kidnappers in action. The whole process took no more than ten seconds, and apart from a few hands, no other body parts were visible, making it impossible to create a composite sketch.”

Fan Heping’s face was filled with helplessness. “The vans used by the kidnappers were all stolen from the second-hand market. They change vehicles after each crime, but there’s no news of any missing vehicles in the second-hand car market, and there are no abnormalities in the surveillance footage….”
