Huang Dahua cried and begged Fang Yi, but there were no tears at all; it was all an act.
Fang Yi looked at the baby Huang Dahua raised in front of him, took it over, and then coldly asked, "What did you give the child to eat? Why hasn't the child woken up yet?"
"Well..." Find the newest release on novel⟡fire.net
The two of them mumbled, as neither dared to speak.
Fang Yi's face darkened, and his tone was heavier, indicating that he was a bit unhappy.
"It was him! It was him who told us to do this!" Huang Dahua suddenly pointed at Brother Ping, who was lying on the ground with broken limbs, and shouted.
"Is that so?" Fang Yi held the child and said, "I'm asking what you gave the child to eat, not who instructed you. You're confusing the main issue here."
The man hesitated, but Huang Dahua spoke first: "Sleeping... sleeping pills!"
"What?!" Fang Yi suddenly exclaimed.
Seeing Fang Yi's angry and furious demeanor, Huang Dahua quickly said, "It wasn't us who wanted to do this; he made us do it! We were forced to! Please, have mercy on us, sir, seeing how pitiful we are!"
Huang Dahua cried and begged Fang Yi, truly showing a heart-wrenching, inconsolable appearance, as if it was really not her intention but because Brother Ping forced her, leaving her no choice.
Fang Yi, holding the child, said nothing more. He suddenly waved to Gui Ziyue. Gui Ziyue was startled for a moment, then quickly walked over. Fang Yi handed the baby into her arms.
The conversation between Fang Yi and Huang Dahua just now was heard word for word by Gui Ziyue. Holding the still sleeping baby, she said, "Giving sleeping pills to a baby will cause great harm, won't it?"
Fang Yi said, "Anyone with a brain knows it's very harmful, but these traffickers are not dumb. They are very shrewd, yet to make sure the child doesn't cry out, they feed them sleeping pills. Why do you think that is?"
Gui Ziyue was stunned; she had never seen Fang Yi so serious. In his serious demeanor, there was a sharpness and fearfulness that were indescribable, seemingly repressed.
"You... you said it was to prevent the child from crying..."
"Wrong answer!" Fang Yi said icily, "It's because they lack humanity!"
"For profit, they abduct children, and to prevent them from crying, they give them sleeping pills, not caring about the potential consequences for the child. The sleeping pills may cause developmental issues in the child's brain, damage their intelligence, and furthermore..."
At this moment, Fang Yi reverted to his talkative nature, but Gui Ziyue did not find him annoying; instead, she reevaluated him.
Although Gui Ziyue thought this guy was shameless and extremely obnoxious, Fang Yi's words made her see a different side of him.
"Furthermore..." Fang Yi continued, "these traffickers don't care about the child's parents or whether the child is innocent. Just for profit, they do things worse than animals, which is what I detest the most."
Gui Ziyue paused and said, "But this kind of thing can't be eradicated, can it?"
"Yes, exactly because it can't be eradicated, it's fine if I don't see it. But once I do, there's no excuse..."
Fang Yi's voice was unimaginably cold at this moment: "With me, no one can escape the punishment they deserve!"
