Batianhu deceived nine rural children under the guise of recruiting acrobats, forcing them to beg for money. Lu Wadan, refusing to beg to maintain his dignity, was starved and beaten to death by Batianhu. Ling Lan, a grief-stricken psychotherapist who had lost her husband and daughter, accompanied the rescued children to a rural school and established a psychological therapy room called 'Soul Haven.' When Batianhu kidnapped Ling Lan, she managed to persuade him to turn himself in to the authorities.
