Once thrown abroad, there was no possibility of getting it back.

It happened that at this time, the mysterious boss who protected the village came in person and wanted to select a suitable child from this batch of goods to take away.

The villagers involved in the trafficking chain did not know where these top bosses were taking the children and what they were going to use them for.

All they knew was that every three to five months, someone would come to select a ‘suitable’ child, without interruption.

After being taken away, they never saw those children again.

Zheng Xiaoyan was one of those ‘goods’ at that time.

At a young age, she clearly remembered that a middle-aged man wearing a robe and a slight beard picked her up. He looked surprised at first, then carefully observed her, and then threw her back to the ground in disappointment.

She heard the middle-aged man say: “This girl has a special constitution, she is ‘born with a phoenix destiny’, but she is not suitable and useless for practice… Instead, she is quite suitable for ordinary people like you.”

At that time, Wu Feng was not the village chief of Xiaoyan Village yet. He was twenty years old and was a well-known gangster in the village. He gathered a group of brothers to collect protection fees all day long.

After hearing what the mysterious man said about Zheng Xiaoyan, he immediately gave up the idea of selling Zheng Xiaoyan and kept her at home as a child bride.

In other words, the terrible marriage Zheng Xiaoyan encountered that ruined her life was with this, Wu Feng.

The person whom Wu Feng mentioned at the entrance of the village, drove the crazy Zheng Xiaoyan out of the house, was, himself.

Seeing this, a police officer looked puzzled: “Isn’t the ‘born with a phoenix destiny’ superstitious? Do any women have such a destiny?”

Gu Zhisang explained: “Of course not. From ancient times to the present, no destiny is born to serve others. However, Zheng Xiaoyan’s physique is indeed a bit special. Her soul was a sage in her previous life.”

“Based on the blessings she received in her previous life and the character she cultivated in the past, a few of them will remain in her soul after reincarnation, so she was born with a tough and unyielding character.”

“If such a person lives in a harmonious and happy family, she can handle the relationship between family and work well, can always accompany her loved ones through thick and thin, and can solve various conflicts…”

In ancient times, when the imperial advisors were selecting queens for their dynasties, they always said that the selected woman was “born with a phoenix destiny” and was destined to be a mother-in-law and to be a queen in the world. The women chosen also had these qualities.

They believed that this type of woman could coordinate the relationship between the six houses and help the dynasty continue.

Everyone understood.

It was not that people like Zheng Xiaoyan would be ‘prosperous’, but their charm could influence the people around them and make the family run better.

The police officer looked sad as he said: “Then this is… such a pity.”

If she hadn’t been abducted, just based on Gu Zhisang’s description, he imagined that Zheng Xiaoyan’s life would be wonderful and happy.

But it was precisely because of her stubbornness and perseverance that she never gave up on escaping.

When she first came to the Wu Family, Wu Feng felt that she could make him prosper, so he was quite ‘good’ to her.

Although she couldn’t go out and go to school at will, she never lacked of food and clothing. So she never gave up and could read a lot of words through self-study.

She ran away three times in five years and was caught every time.

Later, Wu Feng often beat her and even deliberately took her to see how miserable some women were after being abducted and sold to darker places, but this only strengthened Zheng Xiaoyan’s determination to run away.

After Zheng Xiaoyan’s second child was born, when all insiders including Wu Feng thought she had given up completely, she once again used the pretense of loving her daughter to secretly escape with another woman.

That was the thin woman who was chained in the afternoon.

It was just a pity, they were caught again.

Everyone in the village was either an accomplice, or they didn’t participate but didn’t care about these things. Even if they saw it, they pretended not to see it, for fear of getting into trouble.

This time, Wu Feng was completely annoyed.

He decided not to ‘pity’ Zheng Xiaoyan anymore.

Over the years, he had made a lot of money through human trafficking. He had a son, a daughter, and a lover. He no longer needed Zheng Xiaoyan to make him prosperous, so he let Zheng Xiaoyan turn crazy.

The other woman’s fate wasn’t much better. If she wasn’t pregnant when she was caught, her fate wouldn’t have been much better than Zheng Xiaoyan’s.

It was precisely because of the episode of escaping together in Zheng Xiaoyan’s memory that Gu Zhisang was able to pinpoint the woman’s location.

Seeing this, the police officer asked again:

“Miss Gu, do you mean that Zheng Xiaoyan is not crazy?”

“That’s right, she has a strong mind. If she were to collapse, she wouldn’t hold on for more than 10 years.” Gu Zhisang said with cold eyes:

“I said that behind these cases, there are metaphysical masters. Zheng Xiaoyan’s madness is not a normal mental problem. She was put under a ‘soul replacement curse’.”

The so-called “soul replacement curse” was a kind of curse that was placed between contractual relationships. It was difficult to distinguish between good and bad.

Some people love each other so much that one party is willing to share health, lifespan, and luck with the other party, so the two form a two-way spell.

The ‘soul replacement curse’ on Zheng Xiaoyan belonged to the latter. This curse was not two-way, but only fell on her body. She became a funnel for sacrifice.

The worse her luck and health, the more prosperous the other party to the contractual relationship will be.

Coupled with her special destiny and some great luck, she became Wu Feng’s best nourishment.

He asked the mysterious master above to help him, and used extremely cruel methods to shatter Zheng Xiaoyan’s sanity, turning her into dementia, and kicking her out of the house to starve and waste her time.

Just in case, Wu Feng still wanted Zheng Xiaoyan to stay under his nose.

In recent years, Wu Feng’s life has been going smoothly and rich in the Southern Province through the luck of the ‘Soul Replacement Curse’.

Until Gu Zhisang and others came to Xiaoyan Village and revealed the darkness here. Wu Feng and Zheng Xiaoyan were still husband and wife, so their marriage line remained.

He was still squeezing out the last bit of value from Zheng Xiaoyan.

For Zheng Xiaoyan, the pain when her mind was distorted was no different from killing her. The spell caster wearing Taoist clothes became the person she hated most that she still remembers.

If these people hadn’t helped these traffickers and supported people like Wu Feng, if they hadn’t treated ordinary people as ants and abused them at will, how could she have been abducted and trafficked and suffered all this pain?!

So even if she was crazy and had forgotten almost everything, when she saw the clothes on Xun Yiqing and He Mitu, it still aroused the deepest hatred in her heart, prompting her to pounce on them.

At this point, the mystery surrounding Zheng Xiaoyan has been completely solved.

From her memory, Gu Zhisang also saw the faces of several Taoist Masters, as well as the names of some people who cooperated with Xiaoyan Village and were part of the sales chain.

After she compiled the information, she handed it over to the Southern Provincial Police Station.

“That’s all we can do. We can’t help much with subsequent investigation and arrests.”

Captain, He looked at the concise but important information on the paper with a moved expression:

“Thank you very much, Comrade Gu for your help!”

*

The follow-up exploration progress was very fast.

Although some people who heard the news hid early, there were still some who were slow to respond and did not receive the news and were arrested by the police.

Following these people, they continued to follow the clues. The police in Southern Province, who had been waiting for this day for who knows how many years, were very excited and carried out operations around the clock. Finally, they captured nearly a hundred related criminals and compiled the information of thousands of abducted victims in the past two decades.

Although this data was already quite large, there were still many victims for whom no information had been retained.

This criminal chain includes the trafficking of women and children, and a large part of it was the trafficking of human organs…..
