Chapter 241 - 241 Worse Than a Beast

241 Worse Than a Beast

“That’s because her father was angry!” Yuan Niang clearly didn’t expect Lin Suisui to retort. She froze for a moment before she quickly knelt beside the little girl and kowtowed to Lin Suisui as she explained, “Her father dotes on her the most. How could he bear to hit her?!

It was all because she was insensible today that her father lost his temper and hit her!”

“You’re lying! Don’t say that he has never done it before!” The little girl clearly understood that this was the last chance she had to save her and her brother.

She reached out and rolled up her sleeves, revealing the dense scars on her arms to Lin Suisui. “These are from her and my father beating me!

They wanted me to work and wanted me to go… If I was unwilling, they would hit me! They would beat me to death!

They even threatened me with my brother! They said that if I was disobedient, they would sell my brother and let my brother be like me. He would go…

I’m already ruined, but I can’t let them ruin my brother! When my mother passed away, she kept instructing me to take good care of my brother. Sob, sob, sob, sob. Please save my brother!

If you hadn’t saved him, he would have been sold to that sort of place!”

The more Lin Suisui listened, the darker her expression became. If what this little girl said was true, then the couple in front of her were really a match made in heaven! Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs, but the couple in front of her wanted to force their own flesh and blood to die!

“Help this little girl up first and send her to the pharmacy. Let Doctor Luo take a look at her first! Treat her injuries immediately. Otherwise, if this continues, it’ll be a small matter if her wound festers and scars. If it’s more serious, it’ll kill her!”

After Lin Suisui turned around and instructed Yuan Niang, she ignored the lady who was still kneeling on the ground. She turned to the county governor’s wife, who had been accompanying her, and said, “Although I don’t remember clearly, it seems that human trafficking is a serious crime, right?!”

“Madam, you’re correct. Human trafficking is indeed a serious crime.” The county governor’s wife originally wanted to say that the person who wanted to sell the boy was his biological father… However, seeing that Lin Suisui seemed to want to interfere in this matter, she quickly swallowed her words and nodded repeatedly.

“In that case, since we saw them today, we can’t just let them off the hook, right?!” Lin Suisui looked at the county governor’s wife and continued to smile gently.

The county governor’s wife felt conflicted. Although she was very troubled, she had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, this was just a trivial matter between the refugees and didn’t take much effort to deal with it!

“Please spare us. This isn’t kidnapping! My husband is their biological father. How can this be considered kidnapping?!”

When the lady saw that the girl who had asked for help previously had been taken away, she already knew that things were not looking good. Now that they were going to interrogate her, how could she tolerate it? She quickly cried and argued, “My family was really forced to do so because we couldn’t survive anymore. Otherwise, who would be willing to sell their children?!

“Please be magnanimous and forgive me and my husband this time!”

“Your husband is the biological father of that pair of siblings, but you’re not the biological mother of that pair of siblings!” Lin Suisui glanced at the lady on the ground, whose eyes were still darting around. The smile on her face didn’t reach her eyes. “Don’t worry, the county governor has always been fair and just.

I’ll ask him to investigate this matter in detail!

If that pair of siblings were disobedient and made their parents suffer, the county governor definitely won’t let them off easily. However, if this entire matter is about you two being ruthless, the county governor will definitely punish you two!

Don’t you think so, Mrs. County Governor?!”

“Yes, we only have your one-sided story now. We still have to investigate it before we can give a fair verdict.” At this moment, the county governor’s wife also understood what Lin Suisui meant, so she was much more confident when cooperating. “Stop complaining now. Let’s not talk about anything else for now. Where exactly is her brother?!”

“At my brother…”

As Yuan Niang knelt on the ground, she looked around. She wanted to say something else, but she was frightened by Su Le’s cold snort. She stammered, “I’ve already given him away in exchange for ten taels of silver!”

“Where did you send it?!” The county governor’s wife had seen her husband interrogate cases before, so she was especially proficient in dealing with this woman in front of her.

“I advise you to consider it carefully before replying! Otherwise, if we find out that you’re lying, you’ll be punished!”

“Alright, I won’t waste my breath on you anymore!” The county governor’s wife glanced at the lady who was clearly frightened speechless. Then, she turned around and asked Lin Suisui’s opinion respectfully and politely, “Why don’t we arrange for someone to detain them first? This way, it’ll be easier to interrogate them when the time comes. This way, these people won’t be able to escape!”

Lin Suisui nodded and agreed to the county governor’s wife’s suggestion.

After deciding on the arrangements for this matter, Lin Suisui didn’t delay any longer. She left the county governor’s wife with Lu Ze to deal with this matter.

When they returned home, Lin Suisui had just picked up the medical book and flipped through two pages when Yuan Niang rushed in. As soon as she entered, she couldn’t hide her anger.

“Is the situation bad?!” When Lin Suisui saw Yuan Niang’s expression, she knew without asking that her anger was definitely related to the little girl she had sent for treatment just now.

“It’s not just bad. That couple are simply animals!” Perhaps because she was a mother, when she saw this little girl suffer such harm, she subconsciously thought of her daughter, who was still in infancy.

Although she was trying her best to suppress her emotions, she spoke much faster than usual, revealing her flustered emotions. “Not only are her arms injured, but her body is also injured!

Moreover, those injuries were not just from being abused. There was also… that evil couple forced her to become a prostitute in order to earn money!

How can being a prostitute be easy?! After such a long time of torture, her, her body…”

At this point, Yuan Niang couldn’t continue. She raised her hand to cover her face and wailed, “She, she’s still a child. She’s still so young. How could that couple do such a thing?!”
