“You’ve screwed me over...”

Yang Dong was overly nervous and overly afraid. In an instant, he had been screwed over by Lin Fan.

Kacha

That was the sound of the screen unlocking.

“I didn’t screw you over. You’re dishonest. If you just confessed, everything would have been fine. Although you would be punished, there would have been some leniency. What’s the point of being so sneaky and evasive?”

Lin Fan shook his head and looked at the phone. Then, he opened QQ.

Buzz buzz buzz

The phone kept vibrating. Numerous groups were sending messages nonstop.

With one look, his eyes were dazzled. He didn’t even know which messages to look at.

Lin Fan passed the phone to the policeman beside him. “Take a good look and see if there are any suspicious messages inside.”

“Okay.” The policeman took the phone and started checking. He was looking at those messages very seriously and wouldn’t even miss a single one.

Very soon, the policeman found a particular group.

“Master Lin, look at this. There’s something fishy.”

Lin Fan took the phone and took a close look. Indeed, there was something wrong. There weren’t many things said in the chat. However, there were a lot of messages. It made him feel that this was not as simple as it seemed.

Then, he opened a certain message.

“$5000, thirteen-years-old...” Lin Fan read it out aloud. When Yang Dong heard that, his face turned pale. He didn’t know what to say.

“I...” Yang Dong was about to speak, but he was interrupted.

The investigating policeman said, “Yang Dong, the evidence is right there. I hope that you’ll answer us truthfully. Don’t think that you’re not in trouble just because you haven’t done anything, understand?”

Yang Dong’s throat was trembling. His expression was unsightly. He had been discovered and he had lost hope.

Liu Xiao Tian said, “Master Lin, what do you think we should do now?”

Lin Fan said, “Let me ask this girl what happened. I feel that this matter is quite complicated. There is definitely something we don’t know.”

Liu Xiao Tian nodded. He agreed very much with what Lin Fan had said.

“I think we’d better go to your office,” said Lin Fan.

There were too many people and policeman here. It wouldn’t be good to frighten the little girl.

“You guys keep interrogating him.”

As Liu Xiao Tian followed Master Lin up, he told his colleagues to continue interrogating that guy.

They would not help to conceal this crime. They were definitely going to let his family and his company know what he had done.

Such behaviour had to be dealt with severely. They could not let this criminal feel like he got let go easily at all. Also, they had to find out for sure if he was a first-time offender or a repeat offender.

In the office.

Lin Fan tapped the girl’s head lightly, and the little girl suddenly regained her senses. When she saw the situation around her, she was clearly a little frightened.

“Little girl, what’s your name?” Lin Fan asked.

Li Xiao Xiao looked at everything in front of her. But when she saw Lin Fan, she was startled. Then, she asked cautiously, “Are you Master Lin?”

Liu Xiao Tian instantly smiled. He hadn’t thought that Master Lin’s fame had gotten so big. Even children knew him. That was quite scary.

Lin Fan replied, “Yes, I am. Do you know me?”

Li Xiao Xiao nodded. “Yes, I do. My classmates all know you. My Dad really likes you.”

Lin Fan smiled. “Oh, looks like I’m quite famous. Oh right, what happened just now? Why did you go to a place like that all alone?”

Li Xiao Xiao’s expression changed when she heard that. Then, she lowered her head, took out her phone, opened an application, and handed her phone over.

Lin Fan took the phone and looked at the screen.

Meanwhile, Liu Xiao Tian stood behind and looked closely as well. He was still a little dazed. What exactly was going on? In that instant, he was a little confused.

However, when he saw the QQ group, he was stunned.

“Union Against the Second Child”

What kind of organization is that? Why would anyone create such a group?

Lin Fan looked at the group description and his expression changed drastically. Now, he understood what had happened.

It turned out that this was a group of children who didn’t want to have siblings.

Lin Fan found it quite hard to understand. First, he didn’t have a wife. Secondly, he didn’t have children.

He couldn’t imagine what on Earth was going on at all.

However, when he clicked on the group creator’s details, he could immediately tell that although she was female, she was not a student.

When he opened the other administrators’ profiles, they were all adults.

Then, he looked at the information in the group. There were few male students. Most of them were female students. Moreover, most of them were around thirteen years old. Some were even eleven or twelve years old.

Just as Lin Fan was looking through the group, something happened.

Another female student joined the group. Looking at her profile, she was fourteen years old. It seemed as if all those group administrators had been waiting. Once she joined, all of them welcomed her.

After looking for a while, Lin Fan understood.

This group was created by people with devious intentions. They wanted to get primary school students who didn’t want to have siblings into this group. Then, they would brainwash the students.

Also, judging from what he had seen on Yang Dong’s phone, they would put these students’ personal information in another group and put them up for a price for these people with fetishes.

Once one of the students’ took the bait, things would turn out horribly.

Once they set a place to meet, the student would be dragged in. Even if he or she resisted, it would be useless. Once the student got frightened or was given some money, everything would be resolved.

“Master Lin, this matter is very severe,” said Liu Xiao Tian.

He had not thought that something like this was going on.

Lin Fan nodded. “Mmm. This matter is very severe indeed. Chief Liu, you have a huge responsibility now.”

Liu Xiao Tian took this matter very seriously now. “We have to find out where these administrators are. And we have to link up with the chat application company and get them to cooperate with us.”

“There is no room for delay. Perhaps while we were speaking, another child was tricked by them. If these people are caught by me, I’ll definitely teach them a good lesson.”

Lin Fan said, “Leave this to me. Just touching a computer wouldn’t be illegal, would it?”

Naturally, Liu Xiao Tian knew about Master Lin’s situation. He had been restricted from touching computers. However, this matter could not be delayed. Those people had to be located immediately.

“Go ahead. If anything happens, I’ll bear the blame. This matter must be resolved as soon as possible. We have to find those people at once.” Liu Xiao Tian allowed Master Lin to do it without hesitation.

If one were to ask whose computer skills were the best in the world, the answer would definitely be none other than Master Lin’s. Finding those people wouldn’t even be a problem.

But after this situation was resolved, there would still be other matters to take care of, like dealing with the children’s psychological well-being.

This time, even if the group were disbanded, these children’s attitudes would still be wrong. They would still get manipulated by others.

They had to be guided.

But that wasn’t a matter that concerned the two men.
