Leveraging the Husband for More Rewards

"Sister, don't worry! We'll stay with you!" Two little children, one on each side, hugged Su Yijia's legs.

Though their faces were dark and grimy, their eyes were as clear as the purest crystals, sparkling with an innocence that seemed to see through everything.

"Yeah! Having both of you with me is enough," Su Yijia smiled and gently patted their furry little heads.

This made the other girls even more ashamed. They had already been soft-hearted once and didn't dare to take chances again.

"I'm sorry! But I really can't do it!" One of the girls took the lead in bowing to Su Yijia and then quickly ran out without looking back.

As she left, the others also bent down to apologize, following her out.

Su Yijia watched their retreating figures in silence for a moment. It wasn't until the two little children tugged at her hand that she turned her gaze back.

"Sister, don't be sad; we were abducted too. We can testify with you, and we're not afraid to lose face," they said, trying to cheer her up.

"You're wrong! You're the victims, and you will never be the ones who lose face," Su Yijia crouched down, meeting their gaze with a serious and solemn expression, emphasizing her point.

The two children nodded in apparent understanding. Only then did she lead them out of the room.

Although the four people who had been tied up were severely injured, they hadn't lost consciousness. When they saw Su Yijia, they even taunted her.

"You saved them, but they didn't show an ounce of gratitude towards you. Look at them, when things got dangerous, they fled without worrying that you might fall into our hands again."

"Just you guys?" Su Yijia shook her head disdainfully.

Approaching them, she raised her hand in a chopping motion and struck down forcefully.

The man let out a painful cry and then glared at her fiercely, his eyes filled with malice.

"I'll give it another try; this is my first time doing something like this," Su Yijia said, looking at the man whose face had turned green from pain, feeling quite uncertain.

She had learned a lot from the security guard, but it had mostly been theoretical. She hadn't had much practical experience.

Raising her hand like a chopping knife, Su Yijia struck down again, and once more, she was met with agonizing cries. The man felt like the bones in his neck were on the verge of being severed.

"Can you do it or not?" the man gritted his teeth, questioning her word by word.

"Deal with it! If it weren't for you guys doing these despicable things, would I have to practice on you?" Su Yijia retorted angrily.

Seeing her raise her hand high once more, he closed his eyes and yelled, "Wait! Not me again; Try it on them first and come back when you're more skilled."

"No way! Too much trouble!" Su Yijia's chopping hand fell forcefully once more.

This time, the man finally lost consciousness after her blow.

It seemed that sh was quite talanted in it; she had grasped the practical essentials in just three tries.

Satisfied, Su Yijia clapped her hands and then got up to approach the other three unconscious ones. After ensuring they wouldn't be able to escape by binding them tightly with the same ropes they had used, she locked the door using the same padlock.

Su Yijia took the two children with her to the police station.

Upon seeing the young girl covered in blood and the two dirty little boys with her, several police officers immediately came to them.

"Hello, officers, I'd like to report a case," Su Yijia said, explaining in detail how she had been abducted and how the other girls had fled without wanting to testify.

Finally, she expressed her concern regarding the human traffickers' mention of taking everyone away tonight. "I suspect they have someone to assist them. After all, apart from me, there were six girls under twenty and two little boys. They definitely couldn't travel by bus or train. They must have a truck or something else, and maybe the accomplices are committing crimes elsewhere. Each gang kidnaps a few people, and then they gather together to find buyers."

"You're right. We will investigate this thoroughly and won't let any of these criminals get away," the police officer promised, nodding vigorously.

Accompanied by seven or eight colleagues, they followed Su Yijia to the location of the courtyard.

Upon opening the door and seeing the blood on the ground, as well as the four remaining criminals gasping for breath, they looked at the delicate young girl with some astonishment.

Su Yijia touched her nose sheepishly and said, "At that time, all four of them were attacking me. If I hadn't gone all out, I would have been the one dead."

"You did the right thing! The most important thing in a dangerous situation is to protect yourself. Without your decisiveness, we couldn't have apprehended these human traffickers," the police officer comforted her.

They didn't think the young girl had done anything wrong; they were just somewhat in disbelief.

"Now that everything is resolved, I'll be on my way," Su Yijia waved her hand, eager to leave. She didn't know if Qin Kaize would be worried about her, but she was certainly anxious.

"Wait! You haven't told us who you are yet. You helped us crack a major case today, and we'll definitely apply for commendation and rewards for you," the police officer quickly held onto her.

Su Yijia's eyes lit up at the mention of rewards. "My name is Su Yijia, and I'm Qin Kaize's newlywed wife."

"Qin Kaize? The great hero who was seriously injured while defending the mission and has now returned for recuperate?" The police officer was even more astonished.

"That's right," Su Yijia happily nodded. She knew that Qin Kaize was in Hu City now, a well-known hero. By mentioning him, she hoped to secure even more substantial rewards.

Su Yijia didn't see any problem in bringing Qin Kaize into the conversation to leverage the situation. After all, she had done a good deed by saving so many people, and she just wanted a little extra reward.

"It seems that even the spouse of our great hero is a hero in her own right," the police officer exclaimed.

Well, her actions didn't quite live up to the word "great".

Su Yijia couldn't help but curl her lips with a hint of envy.

"Big Brother, don't worry. Sister-in-law is so clever; she'll surely be fine. Let's wait a bit longer. If she hasn't returned by dinnertime, I'll immediately go look for her, alright?" Gao Huabin held his notebook and tried to persuade Qin Kaize.

It's quite normal for the young lady to spend some extra time outside. What if they cross paths on the way while going to find her? The Qin family members might return at any moment. How could he bear to let Qin Kaize face them alone?

However, Qin Kaize was fixated on the words on the paper. His dim eyes constantly overflowed with a chilling shadow, exuding a compelling darkness.

"Find her!"

Su Yijia had left at 11 o'clock, and now it was already 4:30. There was no way the Qin family would let this matter slide. What if they caught up with her outside?

The icy glint in Qin Kaize's eyes intensified, faintly revealing a starry gleam of murderous intent.
