Chapter 10
Selling Piglets

Li Yu arrived at the police station and called for 147, saying, "147, there have been several cases of human trafficking recently, and Aunt Ba has reopened her recruitment agency, which is quite suspicious. Keep an eye on it these days, and if you find any evidence, arrest them directly!"

147 replied, "Understood, Captain. I'll start investigating right away."

Li Yu nodded and said, "Go ahead!"

After making the arrangements, Li Yu returned to the courtyard and spent a cozy evening with A Xiang.

Later, Li Yu went to the agreed nightclub and saw that the hall was mostly filled with people. At that moment, a young dancer approached him and asked, "Sir, are you going to a room or sitting in the hall?"

Li Yu replied, "I have a reservation; it's booked by Director Niu and the others!"

The dancer immediately changed her expression and smiled, "Oh, so you're a friend of Director Niu! This way, please!"

The dancer led Li Yu to the reserved room, and when he opened the door, he found a group of men and women embracing each other inside.

At that moment, Niu Dachun saw Li Yu and waved him over. Li Yu walked to Niu Dachun's side, and Niu Dachun pointed at him, saying, "This is our station's Captain Li Yu; you all should be nice to him. His background is quite impressive!"

Other directors immediately came over to flatter Li Yu!

Niu Dachun then said, "Alright, everyone, we're friends here, so let's all sit down! Standing is tiring!" Everyone then took their seats!

Niu Dachun said to Li Yu, "With so many women here, pick one!"

"Thank you, Director!" Li Yu said, then began to look at the women.

Suddenly, Li Yu spotted a familiar figure, Aunt Han. At that moment, Aunt Han seemed a bit tipsy, likely having consumed quite a bit of alcohol, but she was still holding herself up!

Li Yu walked over to Aunt Han and grabbed her arm. Just as she was about to resist, she heard a familiar voice, "It's me, Li Yu!" Upon hearing his voice, Aunt Han allowed him to lead her to a side!

At that moment, Director Zhang's voice rang out, "Li Yu, you really picked a good one! That was Director Zhang's hard work to get her drunk, and you snatched her away!"

Director Zhang, whose woman had been taken, said, "If my brother Li Yu wants her, then I have to let her go!"

A group of directors began to toast Li Yu! After a round, Li Yu still looked energetic because his body had been enhanced, allowing him to drink without getting drunk! The directors all looked at him with admiration!

Niu Dachun said, "I didn't expect you to drink so well."

Li Yu laughed and said, "I'm not that impressive; anyway, everyone, let's not leave until we're all drunk tonight! Cheers!"

In the end, Li Yu managed to get them all drunk!

Li Yu then went out to settle the bill, and after paying, he helped the half-drunken Aunt Han back to the courtyard.

Li Yu assisted Aunt Han back to her home, helped her take off her shoes, and laid her on the bed. Just as he was about to straighten up, he was suddenly embraced by her, and warmth spread across his lips. After a moment, he still pushed Aunt Han away, covered her with a blanket, and left the room.

Li Yu felt it wasn't the right time to take Aunt Han; forcing it would not win her heart.

When Li Yu returned home, he saw A Xiang lying in the rocking chair in the living room, lost in thought.

When A Xiang saw Li Yu return, she happily walked over and said, "You're back!"

Li Yu picked A Xiang up and said, "Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?" After saying that, he kissed A Xiang.

A Xiang pouted and said, "I was just worried about you!"

Li Yu set A Xiang down on the bed and said, "Silly girl! You go to sleep first; I'll take a shower and be right back." He then went to take a shower!

After finishing his shower, Li Yu cuddled with A Xiang and slept until noon the next day! When he went out to wash up, he saw Fa Zai coming down from the second floor with a shoulder pole. Li Yu asked Fa Zai, "Did you find a job at Aunt Ba's recruitment agency?"

Fa Zai replied helplessly, "It's frustrating to talk about. I waited all morning at the agency, but Aunt Ba notified me that the job going to Xiangjiang only hires women, so I wasted my whole morning. Now I can only go to the dock and see if I can find some labor work."

"Then I won't hold you up; you should hurry! I wish you find a job!" Li Yu said.

"Thanks for the good luck, Brother Yu! I'm off!" After saying that, Fa Zai placed the shoulder pole on his shoulder and walked out of the courtyard.

After Li Yu finished washing up, he woke A Xiang. Once she was ready, they went to Da Sanyuan for a meal.

After they were full, they were walking down the street when A Xiang suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Brother Yu, look at all those people ahead! Let's go check it out!"

Li Yu patted A Xiang's head and said, "Alright!" He then took A Xiang's hand and walked forward!

When they arrived, they found it was Aunt Ba's recruitment agency, and they walked inside!

At that moment, Aunt Ba was chatting with the scoundrel Zhong inside. When she saw Li Yu and A Xiang walk in, she approached Li Yu and said, "Captain Li, what brings you here? Come sit over here."

Li Yu replied, "No need to sit; I just saw so many people here and came in to take a look. It seems business is good!"

Aunt Ba said proudly, "Of course! It's packed with people!"

"Aunt Ba, I want to remind you that our police station has received several reports of human trafficking recently, so please be cautious here. Alright, I'm leaving now!" After saying that, Li Yu and A Xiang returned to the courtyard.

Aunt Ba watched Li Yu's back and said, "Captain Li, I will remember what you said. I will be careful."

The scoundrel Zhong walked up to Aunt Ba and asked, "Aunt Ba, who was that? You were so polite to him."

Aunt Ba was startled and patted her chest, saying, "You scared me! You walked so quietly, you almost gave me a heart attack." After calming down, she said, "He's our station's captain. If it weren't for business, I might need to ask him for help in the future, so I have to be polite!"

The scoundrel Zhong pondered for a moment after hearing this.

Meanwhile, Li Yu and A Xiang returned to the courtyard and saw Aunt Lan, Sister Yan, and several women chatting. A Xiang, seeing them chatting, abandoned Li Yu and joined them.

Abandoned, Li Yu noticed a group of women chatting and thought about turning back to the house when he was called by Aunt Han, who had just come down from upstairs.

Li Yu looked at Aunt Han and asked, "Aunt Han, is there something you need?"

"Li Yu, thank you for saving me yesterday. Otherwise, it would have been terrible. I also wanted to ask if I did anything out of line last night," Aunt Han said, a bit embarrassed.

Li Yu felt a bit shy and replied, "No need to thank me; you didn't do anything out of line."

After chatting for a while, they parted ways, and Li Yu returned home.

In the past two days, not much happened, just a group of women chatting about going to Xiangjiang!

One morning, Li Yu got up, and just after washing up, Fa Zai came over and said, "Brother Yu, I took your good luck charm yesterday and finally found a labor job with a high salary!"

"That's great! Are you going to work now?" Li Yu asked.

At that moment, Aunt Han happened to come back from work. As she walked past Fa Zai, Sister Yan called out to her, "Aunt Han, can you lend me some makeup?"

Aunt Han hadn't spoken yet when Fa Zai chimed in, "Sister Yan, you're all dressed up and made up. Are you getting married?"

Angered, Sister Yan hit Fa Zai a couple of times and said, "Why do you care so much? Just go to work!"

At that moment, Aunt Han asked, "Sister Yan, aren't you working in Xiangjiang? Why do you need to put on makeup?"

Sister Yan replied shyly, "Yes, but I'm from the countryside, and I look so haggard without any color. I want to put on some makeup; otherwise, what if those Xiangjiang bosses see me like this and don't want me?"

Aunt Han laughed and said, "I can help you with your makeup, but in a few days, you'll probably get fired by the boss."

Sister Yan asked curiously, "Why?"

At that moment, Li Yu chimed in, "If you look so beautiful, those men working with you won't be able to focus on their jobs, and they'll be fighting over you. The Xiangjiang bosses will definitely fire you!"

Fa Zai then added with a laugh, "Yeah, yeah, I don't even want to go to work now!"

Originally, Sister Yan was shy after hearing Li Yu's words, but after hearing Fa Zai's, she hit him a few more times and said, "If you say that again, I'll hit you again! Just go to work!"

Seeing this, Aunt Han couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Sister Yan, hurry up and do your makeup!"

Then Sister Yan went upstairs with Aunt Han, and Li Yu chatted with Fa Zai for a bit before heading home.

Li Yu arrived at the police station, and just as he sat down, he heard a knock on the door. Li Yu called, "Come in."

147 opened the door and entered, saying, "Report, Captain. After my investigation these past few days, I've found that the scoundrel Zhong is related to several reports we've received at our station. We have obtained substantial evidence and can proceed with the arrest."

Li Yu replied, "Well done, 147. Alright, let's proceed with the arrest immediately!"

After Li Yu finished speaking, he, along with 147 and several officers, set off!

At that moment, a group of people were waiting for a ride outside Aunt Ba's recruitment agency. Aunt Lan asked Aunt Ba, "Aunt Ba, why haven't they arrived yet? How much longer do we have to wait?"

"They should be here soon," Aunt Ba replied. Just as she finished speaking, she saw a truck approaching and said, "Isn't that it?"

A group of women looked at the approaching truck and shouted, "Bobo truck!" They rushed over to watch. At that moment, the scoundrel Zhong jumped out of the passenger seat and said, "Everyone, line up and get on one by one."

Just then, a group of police officers rushed out, and Li Yu shouted, "Everyone, don't move! Raise your hands!"

Seeing the situation, the scoundrel Zhong tried to escape. Li Yu spotted him and shot him in the knee! He then pointed at the driver of the truck and said, "Get out, or I'll shoot!" The driver, trembling, got out of the truck.

Meanwhile, 147 pointed his gun at the scoundrel Zhong and said, "I've been investigating you for a long time, and today I've finally caught you."

The scoundrel Zhong shouted, "I haven't done anything wrong; why are you arresting me?"

At that moment, Aunt Ba came out and said, "That's right! We're just introducing them to work in Xiangjiang; it's not illegal!"

Li Yu looked at Aunt Ba and said, "Introducing people to work in Xiangjiang isn't illegal, but this scoundrel Zhong is involved in human trafficking. So tell me, is that illegal?"

At that moment, 147 said, "Aunt Ba, I suspect you are involved in this case. Come back with us for questioning."

Aunt Ba was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground, and immediately, police officers came to lift her up. At that moment, Prince Bing came over to intervene, saying, "Officer Li, we see each other often; you know Aunt Ba wouldn't do such a thing. Even if you gave her ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare! Just let her go this time!"

Li Yu said sternly, "Because this scoundrel Zhong has a gang, I need to catch them all. Aunt Ba is his accomplice, so we must take her back for questioning!" After saying that, he led the team back to the police station.
