Ch 129 : Of course, go with the flow and catch them all in one sweep!

Ruan Xingyao said, “Of course, go with the flow and catch them all in one sweep.”

From the little sparrow, she’d learned that this group of human traffickers planned to pull this job and then move to another city to continue.

So, tonight they had to be taken down in one go.

Xie Lin said, “Alright, I’ll make the arrangements.”

Ruan Xingyao nodded, then walked over to stand beside Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan, no longer paying attention to what Xie Lin and the others were doing.

Xie Lin let out a silent sigh.

As much as he wanted to have a proper talk with Ruan Xingyao, right now the priority was setting up the operation, so he could only set those thoughts aside.

Chen Yu, however, had no such scruples—he was already walking toward Ruan Xingyao.

“Xingxing.” Chen Yu called her in a low, serious voice.

Ruan Xingyao turned, looked at him, and gave him a fake smile.

“Assistant Chen, I’m still live streaming. Whatever it is, let’s talk about it after the stream ends.”

At her words, Chen Yu glanced at the phone in You Huan’s hand, his brows unconsciously furrowing.

He said, “Xingxing, can I have a word with you?”

Seeing his expression, Ruan Xingyao curled her lips but still followed him a few steps aside.

Chen Yu lowered his voice and said, “Xingxing, you know this is a human trafficking bust. How can you still keep streaming?”

Ruan Xingyao stiffened her neck and shot back, “What? It’s okay for you to stab me in the back, but not for me to stab you? Chen Yu, don’t be so double-standard.”

Of course she knew that live streaming during a bust was outrageous.

Any slip-up could alert the traffickers and let them escape.

But she was already prepared.

While listening at the window to the sparrow’s thoughts, she had secretly sent out orders with her spiritual power.

Not just the sparrow—every nearby small animal had received her command and had already moved into action.

The reason she kept the stream running was simply to spite Chen Yu and his superiors.

Chen Yu’s heart gave a jolt at her sharp words.

Seeing his frustrated expression, Ruan Xingyao finally felt a bit better.

She said, “Chen Yu, whether you were testing me or using me, I’ve put up with it. But from now on, however I choose to handle things, that’s none of your business.”

With that, she turned and went back to stand with Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan.

You Huan tugged at her sleeve, looking at her with concern.

Ruan Xingyao gave the faintest shake of her head—streaming was still on, so it wasn’t convenient to explain.

Xie Lin had already finished deploying his people.

Just as he was about to approach Ruan Xingyao for a proper conversation, he saw her pulling You Huan and Ruan Xingzhuo behind a flowerbed to hide.

Seconds later, a middle-aged woman rushed out of the stairwell holding a baby in her arms.

As she ran, she called out, “Xiao Yun, don’t worry, I’m taking the baby to the hospital right now. You don’t need to be anxious, we’ll meet at the hospital.”

Her words were full of urgency and concern, but her face couldn’t hide the smug satisfaction beneath.

And this entire scene was being streamed live to Ruan Xingyao’s viewers.

【Damn! The first second I saw this old hag, I felt something was off. She’s clearly no good!】

【Are we just gonna watch the baby get taken away like this?】

【Didn’t Starry already say it—she’s going to catch them all. I trust Starry, let’s just wait and see!】

Very soon, the middle-aged woman had already hailed a taxi and was heading toward the hospital.

Ruan Xingyao stepped out from behind the flowerbed with Ruan Xingzhuo and You Huan.

“Let’s go, we’re heading to the hospital too,” Ruan Xingyao said.

Just as the three were about to hail a cab to follow, Xie Lin walked over. “Take my car.”

Ruan Xingyao really didn’t feel like dealing with him, but it was indeed more convenient.

So, she gave a small nod. “Alright, thank you, Captain Xie.”

Xie Lin’s car quickly tailed the taxi.

Over twenty minutes later, they finally arrived at the hospital.

Except…

You Huan asked curiously, “Usually, people go to one of the big five hospitals for the ER. Why would they come to this kind of private hospital?”

It wasn’t that going to a private hospital was impossible, but the costs here were far beyond what most people could afford.

Ruan Xingyao said, “If they didn’t come to this kind of hospital, how else would their accomplices make a move?”

The middle-aged woman rushed inside clutching the baby, looking extremely anxious as she shouted, “Somebody! Please, help the child! Doctor! Doctor!”

Very quickly, doctors and nurses rushed over, taking the baby from her arms and into the emergency room.

Before long, a young couple hurried inside, one of them still wearing a hospital gown.

“Auntie Li, Auntie Li, where’s Xiaobao? How is Xiaobao?” The woman stumbled toward her, her legs giving out as she collapsed to her knees.

She clutched Auntie Li’s legs tightly. “Auntie Li, how is Xiaobao?”

Auntie Li helped her up. “Xiaoyun, don’t worry. Xiaobao is already in emergency care. It’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Only then did Xiaoyun let out a shaky breath of relief, collapsing weakly to the floor.

At that moment, her husband, Hai Yun—the one in the hospital gown—walked over, clutching his stomach.

He had just undergone surgery.

When he heard something had happened to their child, he ignored the fact that his stitches hadn’t been removed and that his incision could burst open at any time, and insisted on coming with her.

On the way, his wound had already split.

Now, holding his abdomen and gritting his teeth against the pain, Hai Yun came to stand by his wife’s side.

When Xiaoyun saw the bloodstains on his hospital gown, she scrambled up from the floor in a panic.

“Hai Yun, how are you? Does it hurt? I told you not to follow me, but you had to come. What do we do now?” Tears streamed down her face in panic.

Hai Yun brushed her cheek, wiping away her tears. “Xiaobao is my child too. How could I let you come alone?”

He turned to Auntie Li and asked, “Auntie Li, why did you bring Xiaobao to this hospital?”

Auntie Li looked completely innocent. “I just told the driver to take us to the nearest hospital, and this is where he brought us.”

What she said wasn’t wrong—this hospital was indeed the closest to their neighborhood.

Hai Yun instinctively felt that something was off.

After all, since he had undergone surgery at First Hospital, the most logical choice would have been to send Xiaobao there as well—this way, both he and Xiaoyun could conveniently take care of the child.

But according to Auntie Li, Xiaobao’s condition had been urgent at the time, and going all the way to First Hospital would’ve taken too long.

That explanation wasn’t unreasonable either.

Hai Yun could only suppress the unease in his heart, holding his wife as they waited anxiously outside the emergency room.

Just then, the doors to the emergency room swung open, and a nurse rushed out.

“Who are the patient’s family members? The child’s condition is critical and requires a blood transfusion. Our hospital’s blood bank is insufficient, so we need to transfer the patient to another hospital. Please come sign the consent form!”
