Gene Fusion System: Crime Hunter-Chapter 461 - 227: Extremely Urgent, Midnight Rescue_2

Chapter 461: Chapter 227: Extremely Urgent, Midnight Rescue_2
Luo Fei had a sudden idea and kicked down the pile of firewood beside him.
Then he grabbed a piece of wood from inside and used it to block the door of the dry toilet from the inside, buying himself some time.
As the village chief ran to the toilet door and started shaking the handle, Luo Fei quickly circled into the house.
He couldn’t attack the old man; the man’s physique probably couldn’t withstand a punch from him.
So it’s better to minimize confrontation; as long as he could get the children out safely...
Rushing into the house, Luo Fei immediately saw two children standing by the window. The poor kids had been beaten black and blue, tears glistening at the corners of their eyes, their small bodies trembling.
To be abused at such a young age was utterly infuriating.
Suppressing his anger, Luo Fei crouched down, just about to speak when the children suddenly burst into loud wails.
Perhaps it was because he appeared too stern, and the two children had already been terribly frightened along the way, which caused their reaction upon seeing him.
Faced with such a difficult situation, Luo Fei quickly gestured to show he was there to rescue them.
Feeling perhaps that he meant no harm, the children finally stopped crying.
Whew—
The sound of the wind cutting through the air signaled imminent danger!
Just as Luo Fei turned around, a wooden stick swung at him from the side, aiming right between his eyebrows, closing in fast.
With top-tier speed, Luo Fei’s reflexes were unrivaled. He reacted almost instantly.
He raised his hand and punched forward forcefully, intercepting the stick coming at him, then snapped it in two, sending splinters flying.
The violent force sent the attacker flying back, and upon a closer look, it turned out to be the returning village chief.
The village chief saw someone trying to harm his two grandsons and was filled with rage.
"You filthy bastard, barging into someone else’s house to snatch children, I’ll kill you!"
Because his son and daughter-in-law often worked elsewhere and his wife had gone to raise money, only he had been staying in the house these past couple of days.
While using the toilet, he heard the children crying, and on finding the door stuck, he thought to come back to calm the kids first.
Who would have thought that as soon as he entered the house, he’d catch someone trying to take his children, so he acted.
Luo Fei didn’t want to use force, he assumed a posture, his eyes fixed on the village chief.
"Sir, these aren’t your children, I advise you to calm down."
"I don’t want to blow things out of proportion. Let us leave; there’s more to handle here, and you’re the village chief, don’t be obstinate."
Upon having the truth so bluntly pointed out, the village chief began to look panicked.
But he quickly suppressed his worries.
Having paid for them, these children were his!
Moreover, they were bought from elsewhere, so no one must learn their true identities.
So, the village chief concluded that this person was surely bluffing.
"What nonsense are you spewing?"
"These are my kids!"
"I’m warning you, stay away from my kids, get out, or else I’ll fight you to the death!"
At this moment, the two kids realized that Luo Fei was there to save them and hurriedly ran over to him, clutching his leg and hiding.
Having gained their trust, Luo Fei felt somewhat relieved. He then protected the children, and his eyes remained fixed on the village chief.
The murderous intent emanated from him, an aura of intimidation filled the room.
Though he was a police officer, at critical moments he would certainly use special measures.
Mercy would only harm more people!
Seeing the other party disregard his warning and showing no intention of leaving, the village chief got anxious, and grabbed a nearby stool to strike Luo Fei’s head.
This can’t possibly harm him—Luo Fei remained unfazed, first shielding the children securely, then drove his elbow forward with force.
The iron stool caved in at the impact.
The village chief, witnessing this, realized his opponent was a trained fighter and ceased attacking, instead lunged forward to snatch the children back.
Seeing this, Luo Fei could no longer worry about being polite. He grabbed the old village chief by the neck and threw him onto the bed.
"Sir, excuse me!"
Offering an apology with each action.
He then flipped the heap of bedding beside him to block the village chief for a moment.
Next, he picked up the two children and bolted outside. As long as he was fast enough, no one could stop him once he got out of there.
But somehow, the village chief gathered strength, turned over from the bed, and chased after him.
Seeing Luo Fei running further away, he reached for the red hammer by the door and struck the copper gong under the eaves with all his might.
Clang—
Buzz—
As dawn broke with a beam of light streaming in, Luo Fei realized that something was terribly wrong.
Kicking the door open and rushing out, people outside were already scrambling and coming out.
The village had a settled rule: the gong wasn’t to be sounded under normal circumstances, and if it did, it meant an emergency was unfolding. All villagers, irrespective of gender or age, must come to assist.
At the very least, gather in the village center and obey the village chief’s orders.
In recent times, outsiders had come into the village, buying brides and children for the villagers, and everyone was aware of this.
But they had all tacitly agreed not to speak about it.
This was related to the happiness of the village members, so they remained mindfully aware. This is also why the family entertaining Luo Fei locked his room at night, to prevent outsiders from meddling.
As long as the transaction was completed, those children and the girl could stay here forever.
But hearing the gong signals a crisis, everyone dared not slack off and came to offer help.
"Village chief, we’re here!"
"Don’t worry, all the young men of Houliang Village are still here!"
"Charge, the village chief is calling us!"
The strong men and women from each house rushed out, grabbing their tools and leaving their homes and yards.
The village had two roads, an alley in the lane, and the main central avenue.
At this point, quite a few people had already gathered...
Luo Fei hadn’t run far with the children when he came upon dozens of young people holding sticks standing together in front of him.
"Who are you? Stop right there."
"Damn, an outsider dares to run around in our village, you’ve got guts. Haven’t you been beaten before?"
"Quick, who are you?"
Surrounded by these villagers, Luo Fei started retreating with the children.
He couldn’t just charge forward blindly anymore.
He could fight his way out, but the two children would be in danger.
Not to mention the consequences if the village chief managed to capture them again, or if they got accidentally hurt by these people. He couldn’t let that happen.
And right at this moment, the village chief, out of breath, caught up from the alley entrance. Holding onto the wall, he gradually approached, pointing at Luo Fei and loudly chastising.
"You little brat, doing something like stealing kids from someone else’s home, who taught you? Where did you come from? You can leave the people here, but if you dare to take a step further with these children, we won’t let you go... cough cough."
"These children were bought with money, old man, I warn you one last time, don’t do anything illegal."
Hearing this, the village chief laughed.
"Illegal? Which of your eyes saw me break the law? These two kids are my biological grandsons. My son will be back to prove it."
"But you, being so secretive... you don’t look like a good person. Admit it, where are you from, you human trafficker?"
Hearing himself being accused of being a trafficker, Luo Fei knew things had gotten complicated.
It seemed these villagers not only banded together to cause trouble but also twisted the facts.
Handling such a group of people who can’t distinguish right from wrong could indeed be a hassle.
"Uncle, I’m scared."
The child beside him whispered fearfully, his voice full of dread.
Luo Fei gently patted their heads.
"Don’t be afraid, with Uncle here, nothing will happen."
