Who Made Him a Lawyer?

Chapter 695: Chapter 437: The Hidden Crime Syndicate! (Part 2)

Then shook his head and said:

"I didn’t expect it either."

"I didn’t expect these things to be obtained through ’legal’ procedures, and I didn’t expect... the charitable organization to openly cooperate with the Cross Group."

Speaking of this.

A hint of fear flashed in Wang Chenghua’s eyes, clearly recalling something that terrified him.

Seeing this.

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, pondering for a while, suddenly spoke:

"Does the charitable organization have cooperation?"

"Cooperation concerning children?"

Based on the previous mention of ’things from the charitable organization’, the so-called ’things’ are either money or children.

If it were money... Wang Chenghua wouldn’t have shown such attitude.

Why?

Because the public has long been aware of money laundering and even funds being embezzled by charitable organizations, this isn’t surprising!

So, it can only be the latter.

Children!

So... the Cross Ferry Group, related to children?

But here comes the problem again.

This is just a ferry company, what kind of cooperation would involve children!?

"Quantity?"

Wang Chenghua paused, as if Xu Liang had given him a difficult problem, thought for a while, and finally nervously said:

"Who knows."

Upon hearing this.

Xu Liang nodded subconsciously.

But the next sentence the opposite party said suddenly shook him, his pupils shrank abruptly.

Just listen.

Wang Chenghua casually said:

"Ten thousand? Or twenty thousand?"

"Hehe, maybe more."

Affected as many as ten thousand? Twenty thousand?

"Day by day, year by year... it should be a hundred thousand by now."

Wang Chenghua sighed again, then added a caveat, "Of course, not all are our people, after all, ours aren’t the only ones in this country."

"And, a part of them have long reached adulthood and did it willingly, but the reality didn’t meet their expectations."

Which means...

Involved in trafficking?

The look in Xu Liang’s eyes kept changing, his breathing gradually growing labored.

What case last time involved this many people in numbers?

The Qingshi City Medicine Man case!

The Blue Shield Law Firm partnered factory, during decades of human experiments, affected personnel numbers approximately like this!

But no matter how it affected, the factory didn’t inject poison to this gang, very few victims actually died.

What Wang Chenghua said... every single one them faced blatant life-threatening danger!

"Red Heart Charity Relief Institution... a charity association is actually the largest trafficker in Eastern Country..."

Wang Chenghua murmured self-mockingly while speaking, shaking his head slightly.

"If this were told... who would believe it?"

Xu Liang was also silent for a moment.

Clearly, he was shocked by what the opposite party said.

An organization responsible for accommodating, adopting, and providing benefits... secretly undertakes trafficker-like operations.

This contrast truly leaves one astonished!

And...

"How is it done?"

Xu Liang asked again.

Upon hearing this, Wang Chenghua paused slightly, furrowing his brows, came to, looked at the opposite party, and asked back.

"You don’t know?"

"No."

Xu Liang expressionless, the opposite party could not discern any clues, slowly said:

"I mean, won’t my identity be compromised?"

Only then did Wang Chenghua relax.

He casually said: "Don’t worry, legal procedures, no one will find out, even if they do, there’s no way."

"After all, it’s just an adoption procedure, can be done easily."

"Once the child leaves, nationality registered in the adoptive country, Eastern Country could hardly exert control, naturally won’t risk your identity."

Overseas, foreigners adopting...

Matched.

Su Yu’s intelligence indicates that the Cross Ferry is an international company, major clients scattered worldwide!

"All adopted by International Cross?" Xu Liang asked again, "If so many times... heh, afraid it would be noticed."

"Impossible."

Wang Chenghua shook his head.

"Whether it’s International Cross adoption... close enough."

Saying this, Wang Chenghua suddenly changed his tone.

He continued:

"Last year, 2004, throughout the year 52,000 were adopted, do you know the proportion of those foreigners?"

Then without waiting for Xu Liang to answer, he sneered:

"A whole 12,000!"

"That means 23%, roughly one out of four will be adopted by foreigners."

"This year... from what I know so far, the number will be even higher, estimated to be around fourteen thousand."

As he spoke.

Wang Chenghua suddenly spoke in a low voice, his face looking rather grim, and he said:

"Tsk, these people come here like they’re buying stock... huh, those people don’t even consider, who would adopt a foreign child just for the sake of it?"

"Forget it, these people don’t have much brains anyway."

After finishing his words.

Wang Chenghua didn’t say much more about the topic.

He looked up at the lawyer who had set him back almost twenty-two million, restraining the urge to punch him twice.

"Get ready for the day after tomorrow."

"Then you’ll board the ship with Li Ke, you’ll naturally be able to join the Cross Group."

After these words.

Without any hesitation, Wang Chenghua turned and walked away.

To tell the truth, there are no easy characters who join the Cross Group, and it’s usually best to make connections if possible.

So, theoretically, he should be enthusiastic towards the person opposite him.

But unfortunately, Wang Chenghua couldn’t bring himself to smile at this beast in front of him, and if he could, he’d rather stomp on him twice!

"I’m leaving, remember the time."

Wang Chenghua got into the car by the roadside, he lowered the window and looked at Xu Liang through it.

"Eight o’clock the day after tomorrow morning!"

When the words were finished.

The vehicle slowly moved away and soon disappeared from sight.

And at the moment of his departure...

Xu Liang’s face turned extremely ugly almost instantly, a wave of anger surged from his chest.

On the other side of the road stood the car he usually rode.

Inside, Yang Ruoxi, who had been quietly observing without making an appearance, seeing this, frowned and got out of the car.

"Bang!"

The car door opened.

She walked quickly to Xu Liang’s side in her high heels and asked softly.

"What’s wrong?"

"Something happened."

Xu Liang took a deep breath and slowly explained to her what he’d just learned.

As the voices fell one by one.

Yang Ruoxi’s initial puzzlement gradually turned to shock, and ultimately, even astonishment!

Human trafficking?

No, this can’t be described merely as human trafficking.

This is essentially treating humans as commodities, a global human crime syndicate!

Using legal adoption instead of human trafficking... this not only withstands scrutiny, even if things are exposed, you can’t apprehend them.

Firstly, once the child is adopted into their nationality, even if something happens, the authorities can’t do anything.

After all.

You can’t just send detectives over to investigate, can you?

Even if you send them, how would you deal with language problems, cultural issues?

If you can’t solve it, you won’t be able to investigate!

Even if you investigate the case, you won’t be able to arrest them.

Not to mention, you simply have no way to investigate, and even if the child is adopted for their organs and dies, you can’t seek justice.

Because they can completely make up a death by accident as an excuse.

So...

"International Cross Ferry Group, Red Heart Charity Relief Institution..."

Yang Ruoxi mumbled these two names, her face gradually turning uglier, unable to resist letting out an exclamation:

"Is this merely a stepping stone?"

Xu Liang was silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

From the current standpoint, this should only be a stepping stone!

Furthermore, aside from children, others can also be used as substitutes, for example... Zhao Jie, Zhao Jie should have been taken by Wang Chenghua and Zhuge Rong as a stepping stone.

It’s just that Xu Liang didn’t know how she ended up in the river.

Nor did he know why she was mutilated into such a state.

"Just a stepping stone... then what exactly is the Cross Group up to?" Yang Ruoxi suddenly felt a chill without reason.

Just the Red Heart Association is already involved in such a massive case...

Then what about the Cross Group!?

"I don’t know, but it’s definitely not small."

Xu Liang confidently concluded, having firmly decided to see what the Red Heart Association and that so-called Li Ke will show him the day after tomorrow.

"By the way."

In a trance, he suddenly shifted his focus and asked:

"Has Uncle Wang sent any new information?"

Uncle Wang, also known as Officer Wang Hai?

Yang Ruoxi paused for a moment, then snapped back and slapped her forehead urgently.

"You didn’t mention it, and I almost forgot."

"Uncle Wang said..."

"There’s been progress on Zhuge Rong’s identity!"

Zhuge Rong... some information has been found?

Xu Liang’s eyes widened slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out:

"Who is he!?"
