The man with glasses was kicked to the ground and he let out a painful wail, but he still insisted stubbornly, “We were just picking child stars, as for the rest, we didn’t do anything…”

At this time, the man with glasses was still calculating in his head: fortunately, they haven’t done anything yet today, and as for the information about previous occasions, those could all be claimed to be fake. As long as they refused to admit anything, Lin Cheng wouldn’t have a way to pursue this.

Lin Cheng’s cold gaze swept over these people who still had restless minds despite already kneeling on the ground, then looked at the cage next to him. He instructed his men to carefully take the children out from inside. Then threw these people in.

“You—! You can’t do this! This is illegal imprisonment! It’s a personal insult!”

“Is it illegal?” Lin Cheng sneered coldly, “You should remember these words and tell them to the police.”

… …

At this point, the police had already arrived at the front doors of ‘Moonlight Poetry Society’.

The people on the first floor did not know that the entire club had been sealed off, and everything inside and outside had been cleared out.

The owner of the club wasn’t just being a coward who didn’t dare to come out—the unfortunate fact was he himself had also been captured and had no way to save himself.

The police soon brought the situation upstairs under control and finally arrived at the secret level.

Seeing the police appear, the expressions of the people ‘invited’ into the cage suddenly changed and a look of complete despair colored their faces.

Several people covered their faces with their hands, hoping this would prevent them from being captured by the law enforcement surveillance cameras.

But there were still a few who refused to give up and implored the police in loud voices.

“Comrade police, we are just ordinary guests who came here to drink tea. These people suddenly rushed in. We don’t know anything.” 

“Yes! We were framed. Someone wants to harm us!”

… …

Over the years, the police have successfully destroyed several evil dens like this, one by one. Therefore, when they saw the scene before them, the police had a clear idea of what was going on.

A young policeman glared at several people, cursing in a low voice, “These people are worse than pigs and dogs!” 

The police officer leading the team also gave those people a cold look before instructing the other police officers to conduct on-site inspections.

Several people who were still unwilling to accept the reality began to resist.

The scene became very chaotic all at once.

Lin Momo raised her head from Lin Cheng’s shoulder and turned her head to the side to look at the commotion.

The next second, before Lin Momo could see clearly what was happening around her, Lin Cheng had covered her eyes.

Now that they could turn the scene over to the police, Lin Cheng wanted to leave Wang Zhou and the rest of his men here and bring Lin Momo outside.

Such a scene was not suitable for children, and he did not want to leave any more shadows on Lin Momo.

Before leaving, Lin Cheng glanced at the dozen or so children who were still in a daze in the corner of the room and reminded the police officer leading the team, “Those children, it is best to send them to the hospital for examination.” 

If it was before, Lin Cheng might not have thought of this at all. But perhaps because he has been with Lin Momo for a long time, Lin Cheng now paid more attention and care to the needs of children.

After hearing Lin Cheng’s words, the police officer leading the team noticed that the children’s condition was obviously not normal.

It wasn’t that he had never encountered such a grim situation in his past work before, but when he thought that the victims this time were all underage children, the police officer’s face darkened. 

“Damn you all!” the police team leader cursed. He walked over and asked a captive man who looked like a staff member and not one of the guests, “What did you feed the children? Where are the remaining drugs?” 

This was the same fat man from before. Trembling, he quickly shook his head and denied matters, “What drugs are you talking about? There are no illegal drugs. We don’t know anything.” 

The reason why they have been able to operate here for so long undetected was because they were careful in handling the details—the pills before were specially prepared to make the ‘goods’ compliant. There were usually only a few pieces of ‘goods’, so they would only prepare a small amount of pills so that there wouldn’t be any excess left lying around.This way, no clues would be left to be investigated.

However, when the word ‘drugs’ was heard, the guests who were under control also started to express their innocence.

“What drugs? We don’t know anything about any drugs. We only came here to watch the children’s performance. Everything else was done by the club. We were completely unaware of it!” 

At this time, Lin Momo, who was held in Lin Cheng’s arms, suddenly moved, took out the pill she had hidden before from her sleeve, and held it out. 

The leading police officer took it. “Is this what they fed you before?”

Lin Momo nodded.

The police officer took the pill and sniffed it. He scraped some off with his fingernails and put them on the tip of his tongue to try. His face suddenly became even more ugly.

“Shut up, the evidence is solid. Why do you still want to quibble?!”

At this point, Lin Cheng and the police officer nodded to each other, and Lin Cheng left with Lin Momo.

Lin Cheng walked out of the club with Lin Momo in his arms. They had been in darkness for a while and it was a little uncomfortable to suddenly walk into the brightness of the outside.

Fortunately, Lin Cheng’s hand had always been covering Lin Momo’s eyes, so she didn’t feel any discomfort.

“Dad…” Lin Momo called Lin Cheng in a low voice and pulled Lin Cheng’s hand away.

“What’s wrong?”

“Have all the bad guys been caught by the police?” Lin Momo asked in a low voice.

“Yes, we have arrested them all, and we will not let anyone go,” Lin Cheng replied firmly. He only hoped that in this child’s consciousness, the world would still be a beautiful and just place.

Hearing Lin Cheng’s affirmative answer, Lin Momo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed a little. She nodded and buried her head in Lin Cheng’s arms again.
