NOVEL NEXT Chapter 130: It's you again, kid, simply terrifying!_2
The police officers hurried forward and handcuffed them, preventing them from suddenly regaining consciousness and attempting to escape.
The veteran police officer, who had earlier questioned Zhang Beixing, now walked aside, pulled out his radio, and reported the situation to Superintendent Bai at the foot of the mountain.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the mountain, after learning what had transpired on the mountainside, Superintendent Bai was incredulous. He stood there holding the radio, completely dumbfounded. What the hell? Did I hear that right? That heroic young man not only reached the traffickers' hideout purely by running, but he also single-handedly took down more than ten knife-wielding traffickers, knocking them all out? He was even emitting white steam when they found him?
"Are you sure you're talking about a person and not some sort of machine? Are you joking with me?" Superintendent Bai, coming back to his senses, asked incredulously, his voice involuntarily rising an octave in sheer amazement.
"Reporting, sir! I'm not joking. That's exactly what happened. We've apprehended all the traffickers on site and found most of the missing children in their stronghold. Awaiting your instructions," the veteran officer's voice came through the radio.
At this moment, Superintendent Bai had to believe it, no matter how incredulous he felt. He recalled what he had just heard over the radio, his face a mask of astonishment. However, soon after the initial shock, joy lit up his features. He realized that with Zhang Beixing unharmed, his own position was secure. Not only was it secure, but he had also benefited from Zhang Beixing's actions, successfully completing the mission assigned by his superiors!
"Great! This is fantastic!"
"This heroic young man has truly brought me an unexpected delight! Hahaha!"
"After we return, I must report this matter to the superiors and have them properly commend this courageous young man."
Superintendent Bai laughed heartily. Then, a thought struck him, and he quickly pressed the transmit button on his radio, asking the veteran officer, "By the way, what's that young man's condition? He faced more than ten vicious traffickers alone. Even though he subdued them, he must be seriously injured. You immediately... no, I'll call the hospital right away! Get them over here. Before the doctors arrive, give him first aid, bandage his wounds. He's the hero of this operation; we can't afford any mistakes!"
Having rattled this off in one breath, Superintendent Bai, without waiting for the veteran officer's response, immediately dialed 120, gave the address, and urged them to send a rescue team as quickly as possible. After making the call, Superintendent Bai turned, gathered Li Shuo, Lin Siqi, Lin Pengfei, and the mother whose child had been abducted, and they all hurriedly drove towards the location on the mountain.

「Up on the mountain.」
The veteran officer looked at the radio, which remained silent despite his attempts to call, and fell into deep thought. After some consideration, he decided to follow Superintendent Bai's instructions. So, he returned to the nearby vehicle, retrieved Medicine Powder, bandages, and medical alcohol, and began tending to Zhang Beixing's injuries.
Although Zhang Beixing appeared to be seriously injured, his wounds were mostly superficial scrapes and cuts, nothing severe at all. Noticing this, the veteran officer couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration for Zhang Beixing.
This young man is truly remarkable. How did he manage to subdue more than ten traffickers single-handedly, at such little cost to himself? Even Ip Man from the movies, famous for fighting ten opponents at once, probably couldn't compare to this! The veteran officer found himself thinking as he looked at Zhang Beixing.
He wiped away the bloodstains on Zhang Beixing's upper body. Looking at the exposed wounds, he said, "This might sting a bit, young man. Please bear with it," then sprayed medical alcohol on Zhang Beixing's wounds and began to bandage them.
Feeling the sting from the alcohol on his injuries, Zhang Beixing remained expressionless, his breathing not even slightly disturbed. For him, who had once endured the agony of chemotherapy, mere superficial wounds were nothing. Even a fatal injury would have been trivial, like a splash of water!
Ten minutes later.
The veteran officer carefully checked Zhang Beixing's upper body, ensuring all wounds were bandaged and none had been missed. He then told Zhang Beixing to rest while he joined his colleagues to enter the wooden hut and rescue the children abducted by the traffickers.
Zhang Beixing naturally told him, "Go on, you have work to do." He then sat on a small folding stool nearby, recovering his strength and watching as the police led the abducted children out of the wooden hut.
Five years, ten years, life imprisonment... one 'peanut,' two 'peanuts,' Zhang Beixing counted internally, wondering how many such 'peanuts' each trafficker involved would ultimately 'eat.' Just as he was pondering this, a chaotic flurry of footsteps came from the nearby woods.
Zhang Beixing turned his head and saw Superintendent Bai and the others, who had rushed over after learning about the situation on the mountain.
"My child!" Following Superintendent Bai to the traffickers' lair, the mother whose child had been abducted instantly spotted her own child—groggy from sedatives—among the many children. "My child!" she cried, lunging forward.
