Chapter 522 You Are Drunk (1/2)

As fortune would have it, David connected with Magee and pin-pointed their location according to the faint signal they had sent out. Soon, David arrived on a helicopter.

Right behind David, came an entire cavalry of policemen.

Terrified by the sheer number of policemen, the villagers scrambled to make their escape. They hurried to hide the girls they had bought from the human traffickers.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The policemen had already surrounded them from all sides. When they rescued those girls, they burst out in tears. Both relieved and joyful at the same time.

However, there were those who had spent almost half of their lives here after they were sold at a very young age. They got married, had children and were much older now. They had long forgotten about their life outside the village and did not want to leave anymore.

The policemen could do nothing, but accept their wishes to stay back.

Most of the villagers who were in cahoots with the human traffickers were caught by the policeman. Everyone, including Mr. and Mrs. Yang were arrested. Mrs. Yang even fought against the police with a kitchen knife but was soon subdued...

David explained everything to Emily and Jacob when he arrived at Mr. Barefoot's house. Emily had mixed feelings but finally she didn't oppose to anything.

David was saddened to find that Jacob had lost all his memories from the past. However, he was glad to see that Jacob was alive. That was what mattered most. One could not hope to have everything.

”It's okay. Everything will come back to you eventually,” David comforted Jacob.

Finally, Emily could leave this village with satisfaction knowing that she not only helped herself but also countless others like her. She went to see Mr. Barefoot before they left and asked whether he would like to leave with them as that he could live out his life in retirement with them.

But Mr. Barefoot refused Emily and he even did not turn back to look at Emily as he said, ”No, thanks. You've almost fully recovered from your illness. Just remember to take good care of yourself. As for me, I want to live out the rest of my days in this village.”

Emily tried to persuade Mr. Barefoot but Jacob stopped her.

”He has his own path to take so let's just respect his decision,” said Jacob.

”Fine.”
