Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

Seeing Mu Tiantian's reaction, Qin Dongyang anxiously asked, "Ruohan, have you remembered something? Was it her who kidnapped you back then?"

Mu Tiantian continued to think carefully.

But perhaps because I was too young, my memory is very vague; seeing this person will bring up hazy memories.

I can't remember exactly where it was, but in my memory I was crying the whole time. Someone was beating and scolding me, as if threatening me that if I cried any more, they would cut off my hands and feet and throw me out to beg on the street.

I don't know what I was feeling back then, but I was definitely scared. I know that the fact that I kept crying is enough to show that I was a smart child when I was little.

If it weren't for her constant crying, which annoyed the traffickers and led them to abandon her, she might have been sold to someone, perhaps to a very poor family, beaten and abused, or raised as a child bride.

Director He gently patted Qin Dongyang's arm, signaling him not to get too excited, and then comforted Mu Tiantian, "Ms. Qin, think it over carefully."

Looking at Aunt Ying's reaction again, Qin Dongyang was basically certain.

Mu Tiantian recalled some more vague fragments. She took a step closer to the interrogation table, pointed at Aunt Ying, and said, "It was her, this vicious woman. I remember when I was crying, she grabbed my hair and slammed my head against the wall, and she also hit me with a rattan cane. When we passed the fishpond, she picked me up and said she was going to throw me in..."

She found it amazing, as she had no recollection of this memory at all before.

Upon seeing this person, those memories naturally flashed through my mind.

Aunt Ying was shocked and surprised.

She hadn't expected that Mu Tiantian, who was so young, would still have memories, and remember them so clearly.

Mu Tiantian sneered, "I should thank you for doing all that, otherwise I really wouldn't remember anything."

Qin Dongyang couldn't imagine the scene: how scared his daughter would be if she were abducted by a stranger and then abused.

His gaze toward Aunt Ying was filled with murderous intent, as if he wished he could tear her to pieces on the spot.

Aunt Ying, who had done most of her life's bad deeds, was terrified by Qin Dongyang's gaze.

Qin Dongyang gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "You're going to die. I'll make you pay with your life!"

He caused his daughter to be separated from him for twenty years!

Seeing that Aunt Ying was finally scared, Director He felt he had to say something harsh, "Chen Muying, there's witness testimony and physical evidence. So many people are accusing you. Your good days are over!"

Aunt Ying didn't say anything, her face turning pale at the thought of being executed.

She took the risk to earn that money, and hasn't enjoyed much of it yet.

Qin Dongyang, still seething with anger, strode to the interrogation table, placed his hands on either side, and stared at Aunt Ying with a death stare. "Do you admit that you were the one who kidnapped my daughter back then and abused her?"

After all, he's a man who's fought his way up in the business world and seen the world; he naturally exudes an aura of strength.

Aunt Ying shuddered slightly, feeling the fear of doing something wrong for the first time.

Qin Dongyang was determined to get Aunt Ying to admit it on the spot. He sneered and threatened, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I'll have Director He use special methods to make you admit it."

Aunt Ying looked at Director He.

She could tell that Director He and Qin Dongyang had a good relationship.

Her entire gang was arrested. She had been hiding for several months when she was betrayed by a traitor who wanted a reduced sentence, who then revealed her hiding place.

It's almost impossible to get away with it.

She understood that she couldn't change the outcome.

It's better to admit it openly and suffer less.

Under Qin Dongyang's increasingly fierce glare, she reluctantly nodded in acknowledgment.

Qin Dongyang slammed his fist into the middle of the table.

Aunt Ying looked at the graceful Mu Tiantian and defended herself, "Your daughter cries too much. I didn't sell her, and she's perfectly fine now, isn't she?"

Qin Dongyang was so angry he wanted to kill someone.

That's how bad people think. With a casual remark, they think that someone's twenty years of suffering from separation from their family is nothing.

He grabbed Aunt Ying's clothes and lifted her up, his temples bulging with anger. "She could have had a better life, but because you took her away, she suffered so much in the countryside..."

He really wanted to just strangle him.

Xia Guiying couldn't help but ask to come in and check on the situation.

Hearing Aunt Ying's matter-of-fact words, he was so angry that he wanted to beat Aunt Ying to death.

Mu Tiantian grabbed one of them with each hand.

Although she was so angry she wanted to kill the human trafficker, she calmly advised, "Dad, Mom, killing this kind of person would dirty our hands. Let the law kill her."

As she spoke, her eyes sharpened and her voice rose, "She's a perfect example. Human traffickers and murderers are equally guilty and should both be sentenced to death..."

Her words stirred everyone's blood.

The man who arrived before Mu Tiantian nodded in agreement, "We need to make an example of them, otherwise these human traffickers will continue to act with impunity and become arrogant."

Mu Tiantian glanced at the man and met his gaze.

They are all children who have been separated from their parents.

I understand this kind of pain and hatred all too well.

The man's parents weren't so rational; his father rushed in and grabbed Aunt Ying by the hair, giving her a good beating.

Mu Tiantian pretended to break up the fight, but in reality, just like the man's father, she grabbed Aunt Ying's hair and slapped her face repeatedly with her other hand.

She wasn't doing this for herself, but for all the abducted children.

Compared to the harm that human traffickers inflict on abducted children and their parents, what is this punishment?

The man was amused by Mu Tiantian's appearance and joined in the beating.

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying were itching to join in, but there was no space to squeeze in. Standing at the back, their hands couldn't reach.

Director He let Mu Tiantian and the other two beat her up for a few minutes before speaking up to stop them, saying, "Alright, alright, I understand your anger. Please calm down..."

"I can't calm down at all!" Mu Tiantian said, jumping up on the spot, grabbing her hair with one hand, raising the other high, and slapping it down with all her might:

The sound of the slap was as loud as a firecracker.

Aunt Ying was stunned by the blow; her ears were ringing and her cheeks were burning.

She was always the one playing the villain, and this was the first time she had been bullied like this. She was furious and glared at Mu Tiantian, saying, "This is intentional assault. I'm going to sue you."

She looked at Director He, hoping he would step in and stop it.

Before Director He could speak, Mu Tiantian slapped him again. "Go ahead and sue me. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine, repaying you for what you did to me back then. If you sue me, I'll only get detained for a few days at most, but a human trafficker like you who has committed numerous crimes deserves the death penalty..."

For the first time, Aunt Sakura experienced the helplessness of being bullied and unable to fight back.

Because they felt hopeless, they lost the strength and impulse to resist.
