The Case of Love

Chapter 73 Going deep into the tiger’s den
Zhou Yifeng was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer, so he quickly changed the subject and assigned them a task.

After the few people had discussed it, Su Xiaohan set off first and walked in the direction where the little girl was. When she was near the little girl, she looked at her mobile phone from time to time, pretending to be waiting for someone.

After a while, she raised her eyes and looked at the little girl, pretending to be surprised and asked: "Little sister, why is it you? Do you still recognize your sister?"

The little girl had obviously forgotten what happened before and looked confused.

"You forgot, that day, it was also here, you said your grandma was sick and hoped that your sister could help you save her. Your sister wanted to help you, but when I turned around, you were gone." Su Xiaohan helped her recall.

After she finished speaking, the little girl's dull eyes gradually brightened up, and she said, "I remember now, sister, we have met before!"

"How is your grandma now? Is she feeling better?" Su Xiaohan asked with concern.

"Grandma...it's still not feeling well. Sister, do you really want to help me?" the little girl asked.

Su Xiaohan said confidently: "Of course! You disappeared that day and I was so worried. Now we meet again, which means we are destined to be together!"

"Sister, come with me to see my grandma. My parents haven't come back, and we haven't had a hot meal for many days." The little girl looked pitiful.

"Okay, sister will go with you." After saying that, Su Xiaohan took the little girl's hand and followed her towards the alley.

Seeing Su Xiaohan and the little girl leaving, Zhou Yifeng and others hurriedly quickened their pace to catch up.

The alley was deserted, with only the occasional pedestrian passing by. After walking for a long time, the little girl stopped in front of a small black door at the end of the alley, pushed the door open and walked in, and Su Xiaohan followed her in.

Zhou Yifeng didn't dare to get too close, so he asked Ma Nan to go around and see if there was a back door of the house. He and Li Zhisong waited for news from Su Xiaohan on the spot.

"Boss, do you think we are overthinking it? Is this child's grandmother really sick?" Li Zhisong was doubtful.

"Wait and see, we'll know soon." Zhou Yifeng was anxious, but he had to calm himself down. He examined his heart and felt that what Li Zhisong said was right. Maybe he really looked at Su Xiaohan with the so-called doting. Just like at this moment, he hoped that it was him in the house, not Su Xiaohan.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yifeng's phone rang. It was a message from Su Xiaohan: "Boss, there is an old man in this courtyard, but I feel something is wrong."

"Be safe and keep in touch anytime." Zhou Yifeng replied immediately.

"Is it a letter from my junior sister?" Li Zhisong asked.

"She said she felt something was wrong." Zhou Yifeng said in a deep voice.

As the two were talking, they saw the small iron door open. A man stuck his head out, looked around, and then closed the door again.

Seeing that there were no suspicious people around, Zhou Yifeng walked over quickly and gently pushed the door, only to find that it was locked. His heart tightened, thinking that their judgment was correct, and that the little girl was a member of the trafficking gang. Su Xiaohan followed the little girl in, and they were about to take action.

Ma Nan ran over from the street corner panting and said to Zhou Yifeng, "Boss, it's confirmed. This yard has only this one door. There is no back door."

Zhou Yifeng nodded and motioned for them to guard the door on the left and right.

In the room in the courtyard, the little girl poured a glass of water for Su Xiaohan. Su Xiaohan sat by the bed, pretending not to see the two figures outside the window, and talked to the old lady lying on the bed. "Sister, you must be thirsty, drink some water!" Seeing Su Xiaohan put the water on the table beside the bed, the little girl walked over and handed her the glass of water again.

Su Xiaohan thought that there must be something wrong with the water. The little girl said that she and her grandmother were the only ones at home, but she clearly saw two men waiting in the yard. If she drank the drugged water, they would probably lock her up.

After thinking for a while, she smiled and said, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty now, I'll drink later. Little sister, is there a bathroom in your house? I'll go there for a while."

The little girl didn't expect her to be rejected. She paused for a moment before saying, "Yes, it's outside."

"Okay, you stay with grandma first, I'll go for a while." After saying that, Su Xiaohan put the water on the table again, got up and walked out.

As soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by two men, one fat and one thin, hiding behind the door.

Su Xiaohan was prepared. She turned to the little girl and said, "Little sister, didn't you say that you and grandma were the only ones at home? Could these two be thieves? Do you want me to help you catch the thieves?"

The little girl's face changed, and she was so flustered that she didn't know what to say. The old man lying on the bed had already stood up, not looking weak at all, and winked at the two men, who immediately stepped forward and tried to grab Su Xiaohan.

Su Xiaohan dodged and they missed.

The fat man sneered and said, "This little girl is quite smart! But do you think you can escape from this yard?" After that, he walked forward a few steps, stretched out his arms, and pounced on Su Xiaohan.

This time, Su Xiaohan did not dodge. She rushed to the left side of the fat man, grabbed his arm, and twisted it hard. With a "click", the fat man screamed. Su Xiaohan's whole movement was as slow as floating clouds and as fast as lightning. It was steady and chic, which made the thin man at the door stunned, not knowing whether to step forward.

Su Xiaohan left the fat man, walked to the bedside, picked up the water glass, looked around, and said sternly: "You must have put drugs in this water, right? I guess your plan is to use the sympathy of young women to trick them here, and then let them drink the water poured by this child to make them unconscious. When they are unconscious, lock them up and find a suitable time to send them to a secret place. If they don't drink it, you two can arrest them, and the result will be the same. Am I right?"

"Who are you?" the thin man asked alertly.

"You will soon know who I am." Su Xiaohan sneered.

Although the fat man at the side had a dislocated shoulder, he had no intention of letting Su Xiaohan go. He endured the pain and said, "Why are you wasting time talking to this woman? Why don't you arrest her!"

The thin man responded and rushed towards Su Xiaohan, but before he got close to Su Xiaohan, she kicked him and he fell on his back with a very distorted expression on his face.

The little girl hid in the corner, frightened by the scene before her, curled up and dared not move.

Su Xiaohan glanced at the man on the ground with disdain, stepped over him, walked straight to the door and opened the iron gate.

"Xiaohan, are you okay?" Zhou Yifeng asked with concern as soon as he saw Su Xiaohan before he even entered the room.

"I'm fine, but they are!" Su Xiaohan looked into the room and said with a smile.

"Boss, am I right? I told you that my junior sister is very capable and you don't have to worry at all!" Li Zhisong gave Su Xiaohan a thumbs up.

Led by Su Xiaohan, Zhou Yifeng and the other two entered the room. The thin man had just struggled to get up from the ground, the fat man was holding his dislocated arm, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, the little girl was curled up in the corner, and only the old lady stood up to greet them.
