Chapter 62 Cats hided their claws Several small boys were tied up in the dark bas.e.m.e.nt where their clothes scattered on the floor. Their bare chests, arms, and faces all had injuries.
Hearing someone come in, some children were frightened, so their small bodies kept shaking, but they clenched their teeth to make no sound, as if they were afraid of something.
Gu Wuyang and his friends were all soldiers, and they fight in guns and blood, almost fearless.
But looking at the children in front of them at this moment, the eyes of these iron men began to sour in tears.
Gu Wuyang first came forward to untie the rope on a child,then GYu Wenjin and Bu Ao also quickly started to help him.
"Don"t be afraid." Gu Wuyang bent down. He dresse the children as he calmed their emotions gently.
The boy"s mouth was still bleeding, his face was pale, and he lifted his finger in one direction with great effort, "Xiao.... Inside...."
After all, he was only a child of four or five years old. He could not even speak clearly after being so hurt and frightened.
Although he only said two words, Gu Wuyang still understood his meaning.
Looking in the direction the boy pointed at, he saw it stood a closed iron door. It seemed that there had another room in the bas.e.m.e.nt.
"Call the police immediately." Gu Wuyang helped the boy dress his clothes up and accounted Bu Ao for something in a heavy voice. Then, he walked directly to that iron door.
Probably the people inside did not expect there would be someone to come here, so the iron door just closed without being locked. So Gu Wuyang easily opened the door.
Inside the door was a corridor. It was so dark that it was impossible to see the road or hear anything.
If that kid hadn"t told him, they probably wouldn"t have noticed this place.
Walking along the corridor for dozens of steps, Gu Wuyang vaguely heard a curse coming from ahead, which was mixed with the sound of whipping something.
Gu Wuyang"s face darkened, he quickened his pace, and soon he came to the end where stood another iron door before him.
The iron door was half closed, and the light came through the crack. The sound of cursing was now clear enough.
" Too shameful! I will beat you to death today, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" With the sound of cursing, the upraised whip fell on the naked upper body of Xiao Hang.
But before the whip had time to fall on, the door was suddenly forced open, Gu Wuyang tightly grasped his wrist that held the whip.
Surprisedly, the man raised his head, and there appeared the face of the dean, Mr. Chen.
"Gu...." Mr. Chen wanted to speak something, but before he could said another word, Gu Wuyang"s fist had fallen on his face.
Mr. Chen stumbled and fell on the ground.
Xiao Hang, who was thin and weak, had his hands and feet tied with ropes. He had not recovered from the previous injury, but now he got many whiplash marks, the wounds of which were bleeding profusely.
Gu Wuyang carefully untied the rope for him,and he took off his coat to wrap around Xiao Hang. His fingers gently wiped off the blood on his face, and his soft voice appeased his emotions.
Mr. Chen got up from the ground and looked at Gu Wuyang with scarlet eyes. Under the fury, regardless of Gu Wuyang"s status, Mr. Chen grabbed a wooden stick on the ground to hit him .
However, Gu Wuyang reacted more quickly than him. Gu raised a leg to kick Mr. Chen directly when the wooden stick was just lift, and then he fell on the ground again.
Mr. Chen didn"t want to give up, so he tried to get up. But Gu Wuyang had walked to him, and he stepped on his hands heavily.
"Aa!" Mr. Chen cried out in pain, and his face turned ferocious.
Mr. Chen wanted to struggle to get up for several times, bur when he moved, the strength Gu Wuyang stepped on his hands increased a little. In the end, he had to lie on the ground still.
After all, the welfare house was too remote, so the nearest police station had to take half an hour to come here. Before the police came, Gu Wuyang first tied Mr. Chen up with a rope and locked him with the old man who opened the door in two separate rooms.
Although the old man had been saying that it had nothing to do with him and he knew nothing about it, Gu Wuyang didn"t believe him.
Looking at those kids who were afraid of him, it can be sure that he was not a good guy.
After dealing with them, Gu Wuyang took the injured children to the living room. Yu Wenjin got the medical box out from the car, and he was going to give them a simple treatment of the wound.
When the police arrived, they waked up all the other children in the welfare house, and gave them a physical examination. The result shocked everyone.
There were one hundred and twenty-eight children in the welfare house. The oldest was thirteen years old and the youngest was two years old.
These children, regardless of age and gender, all had injuries to a different degree, even many of the old got new wounds before the old one recovered.
At first, these children were reluctant to tell the truth. No matter what the police asked them, they just kept silent with their heads down.
Although there had already been physical evidences and witnesses now, if these children were not willing to open their mouth to identify Mr. Chen, the case was very difficult to proceed.
Just at the moment when everyone didn"t know what to do, Xiao Hang, who sat in the sofa, suddenly made a noise.
"They"re the ones that hurt us. " Xiao hang raised his hand and pointed to Mr. Chen and the old man who were escorted by the police. The innocent voices echoed in the living room, " Every day, they scolded us, beat us, and didn"t give us food, and as long as we didn"t listen to them, they would drag us into the dark room."
Xiao Hang was just a child of only five years old, and he had suffered so terrible hurt. His spiritual situation was now not stable. It was really not easy for him to speak these words at this moment.
With Xiao Hang speaking out, the other children were also inspired to tell the truth.
After a few seconds of silence, the oldest child finally spoke up, and the others followed him to tell the police what Mr. Chen had done.
In the welfare house, they were beaten every day, dressing in rags and eating leftovers that had been left for days.
If someone was willing to adopt a child, then during the period before adoption, Mr. Chen would not beat the child, and he would let the parents pick up the child until he recovered from the injury.
These older kids had thought about calling the police or telling the adults.
But Mr.Chen was so strict that they had no chance to escape from the welfare house. And for those children who were adopted, their injuries had healed. Even if they told the truth, the adults would not believe them because there was no evidence.
It was in such a situation that the welfare house had lasted for fifteen years. It was unclear that how many children had been abused by them, or even how many had died at their hands during the time.
Listening to what the children had told them, Gu Wuyang and his friends were full of anger. Even if the two men were cut into pieces, it could not eliminate the anger and hate in their hearts.
They didn"t expect that Mr. Chen, who looked so gentle in daily life, should be so disgusting and dirty in his soul.
If Gu Wuyang had not discovered something wrong before and if they had not come here tonight, the secret of this welfare house might not have been revealed, and these children would have continued to suffer from their bad treatment.
Fortunately, these children had been saved now.
The police put Mr. Chen and the old man in the police station. The other children were sent to the hospital in batches for a general check-up, and Gu Wuyang took the initiative to undertake the expenses.
Xiao Hang"s leg was still broken and he couldn"t move at all, so he was held in Gu Wuyang"s arms all the way.
Inside the car, Xiao Hang and Gu Wuyang were in the back seat, Bu Ao drove the car, and Yu Wenjin was in the pa.s.senger seat.
"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Hang lay in Gu Wuyang"s arm and looked up at him whispering thanks.
Xiao Hang wanted to tell them about what Mr. Chen had done yesterday when he saw Gu Wuyang and Tang Anran. But his battered body had recovered at that time.
Without evidence, he was afraid that they would not believe his words. If they told Mr. Chen what he said, he would be more painful after he went back, so he did not say anything.
He thought that he could stay in the hospital for a few more days, waiting for a chance to escape. However, Mr. Chen should force him to go back to the welfare house yesterday after Gu and Tang left.
After returning to the welfare house, he was dragged into the dark house by Mr.Chen again with constant beating and scolding.
At that time, Xiao Hang was really desperate and he even thought it would be better to be beaten to death by him. At least in this way, he didn"t have to suffer the pain any more.
But at the time when he felt extremely desperate, Gu Wuyang appeared rescuing him from the pain.
Gu Wuyang was not good at expressing himself, while he is willing to treat Xiao Hang with his most gentleness.
"Have a good rest. We will get home soon." Gu Wuyang wrapped his coat tightly around Xiao Hang. His broad palm fell on the top of his head and touched his head very gently.
At this moment, Xiao Hang felt the warmth he had never felt before from Gu Wuyang.
He opened his mouth, and wanted to call Gu Wuyang "Dad", but he was afraid that Gu didn"t like it. So he didn"t cry the calling out finally.
Looking at the interaction between Gu Wuyang and Xiao Hang in the back seat, Bu Ao and Yu Wenjin were very surprised, they didn"t expect that Gu Wuyang, who was always cool, would be so gentle.
It was six o"clock in the morning when the car stopped at the gate of Gu Wuyang"s villa. It was getting light outside.
"It has taken you a lot of time. You can go back and have a rest." Gu Wuyang carried Xiao Hang who fell asleep out of the car, and said to the two people in the car with a sinking voice.
"It"s at your doorstep. Can"t we just go in and have a rest?" Yu Wenjin made a yawn, leaning on the window. He looked at Gu Wuyang with some grievance, " We"ve been busy for so long, and really sleepy now."
He would have refused them before, but thinking that they were all tired today, he made a rare break and promised to let them sleep in the guestroom.
After parking the car, they three entered the house together.
Tang Anran had been worried about what would happen yesterday, and she didn"t fall asleep all night.
When it pa.s.sed six o"clock, Tang Anran got up from the bed, going to wait for Gu Wuyang in the living room downstairs.
She didn"t expect that Gu Wuyang would come back when she just went downstairs. Meanwhile, she also noticed Xiao Hang who was lying in Gu Wuyang"s arms.
"What happened to Xiao Hang?" Tang Anran hurried to walk forward. But she found that Gu Wuyang"s face turned dark when she just said one word.
She was in a daze at first, then she looked at Gu Wuyang with anxious eyes and asked in a hurry, "Gu Wuyang, have you got hurt?"
But Gu Wuyang didn"t reply her. Instead, he gave Xiao Hang to Bu Ao, and stretched his long arm out to pick Tang Anran up.
"Don"t get upstairs. " Gu Wuyang warned Yu Wenjin and Bu Ao behind him and held Tang Anran to hurry up into the bedroom on the second floor.
