Chapter 907 (1/2)

After more than nine hours of hiding, the human trafficker arrived at the warehouse by 2 a.m.

The so-called warehouse was actually a place to keep the abducted children.

These children were trafficked from different places around the country. Some of the older kids would be starved for two days to tame them before selling them.

Meanwhile, some of the kids were only slightly more than a week old. Their memories had yet to develop. Children of this age were the easiest to handle. After spending a few days with the professional nannies they hired, they would be ready to be sold.

Regardless of their age, once the children left the warehouse, it would be difficult to locate them again.

By then, they would be trafficked to different places.

Boys from the countryside were the most in-demand ones. When people had difficulties bearing a child, they would resort to purchasing one instead. One child would only cost them about 20 to 50 thousand.

After the child was sold and officially registered as a member of the family, the child would belong to them forever. Even if the police wanted to investigate the background of the children, they would not be able to find anything.

On the other hand, the rebellious ones would be sold to “Beggar Camp”. Beggar Camp was very influential among the locals and had their own impermeable system. They would break a child’s leg and make them beg on the streets, which actually became the camp’s main source of income.

By then, a police report would be rendered useless. The police would not be bothered to investigate the case, for they did not know where to start.

With such a great population in the mainland, once the trafficked children were “legally” adopted, they would be camouflaged.

Many times, parents, both rich and poor, would search the entire China for their missing children.

It might take them one year, three years or way longer than that.

In fact, it was not the most heartbreaking to not be able to find the children.

The most brutal scene happened when the parents pa.s.sed by the street, noticed a pitiful kid and pa.s.sed the kid a dollar. Yet, the parents failed to recognize the beggar as the son they had sorely missed.

As time pa.s.sed, children grew up and they no longer looked like the toddler they used to be. It was not easy for the parents and the children to recognize each other.

Reality was unlike the soap drama. When most of the parents found their children with the help of the police, the children would only see their parents as strangers.

Therefore, the parents could only pray hard.

They prayed for the children to be sold to a kind couple even if they could not stay by their children’s side.

That would be a way better outcome for their children than being cut off a limb and turned into a beggar.

However, the human traffickers would never be considerate. They only wanted to earn more money.

Having an influential organization backing them, they did not have to worry about being exposed. Once they became the local tyrant, they became the law.

The officials would never dare disturb them.

This was also why the human trafficker felt relieved after he reached the warehouse. Once he returned to his own territory, there should be nothing for him to be afraid of.
