Meanwhile, at the three children’s side.
Today was the seventh day, which was the day Qiu Tong had promised that she would return.
Qiu Xingyu did not even go to kindergarten. She waited for Qiu Xingyu at the doorway, wanting to give her a big hug.
However, Qiu Tong was still in the slave den making plans for the next day with the slaves. Even though she was anxious to return, there was nothing she could do.
Qiu Xingyu waited from morning till night, her eyes filled with anticipation and disappointment.
Qiu Xingyuan even specially bought fish and meat. He was unwilling to admit that he was also expecting her.
Seeing Qiu Xingyu’s dejected look, Qiu Xingyuan’s expression became increasingly gloomy.
Finally, he carried Little Yu back. “Don’t wait anymore, she won’t come back!”
It was already past one in the morning. If she wanted to come back, she would have done so long ago.
That woman must have run off with some man and abandoned them!
“But Mommy said today…”
Qiu Xingyu sobbed. Her mommy had changed for the better. Before she left, she even planted a kiss on her forehead.
She said that she would buy her a beautiful dress and delicious cake.
Qiu Xingyuan recalled the changes Qiu Tong had undergone during this period of time and clenched his small fists tightly.
He knew Qiu Tong wouldn’t be so nice!
“Little Yu, Little Qiao, forget about this woman. She was good to us just to lower our guard so that we won’t pester her when she leaves!”
Qiu Xingyu and Qiu Xingqiao thought about it and looked at the clock. They were instantly deflated.
Qiu Xingyu’s tears fell one by one.
Qiu Xingqiao’s eyes were also red. He bit his lips stubbornly and said fiercely, “Elder Brother, even if she comes back, I won’t forgive this liar!”
They had thought that the family of four could live well together. In the end, Qiu Tong cruelly abandoned them and even lied to them.
“Yes, I will never forgive this bad woman.”
Qiu Xingyuan said in a low voice, “In the future, I will earn money to take care of you guys. From tomorrow onwards, we won’t be going to kindergarten anymore.”
Qiu Tong was the one who arranged for them to go to kindergarten. If not for Qiu Tong, they would not want to be with a bunch of silly kids.
“Okay.”
Qiu Xingyu and Qiu Xingqiao nodded in unison.
With Qiu Tong gone, the three of them had to be united. Things had been very hard for Elder Brother, they could not disappoint him!
…
Qiu Tong had already come up with a plan. She calculated that there were 300 people who had been cured.
The guards would not be a match for their attack tomorrow night.
At this moment, Qiu Tong gathered everyone together and removed their ankle devices one by one. Then, she easily modified the explosive devices with a knife.
“If you don’t press the button, the device will not explode. However, you still have to wear the devices on your ankles. I will give you instructions tomorrow. When the time comes, take off the device and toss it out.”
In order not to arouse the suspicions of the guards, they had to do this.
The slaves had witnessed the whole process of Qiu Tong removing the ankle devices with her bare hands. They were completely impressed by her.
They obeyed her orders without qualms now.
“Someone is coming!”
The slaves on the lookout shouted anxiously, and the crowd quickly dispersed.
Soon, three guards came in.
They glanced at Qiu Tong before grabbing Ye Luan, who was beside her.
Qiu Tong quickly stood up. “What are you doing?”
Ye Luan was the male protagonist of that novel. Even if something happened to her, nothing must happen to Ye Luan. Otherwise, her three children might suffer if the storyline changed?
One of the guards shouted at Qiu Tong, “What does it have to do with you?! Get lost! You guys, take him away!”
Qiu Tong clenched her fists and suppressed her anger.
If she were to hit someone now, her entire plan would be ruined.
However, she could not just watch as Ye Luan was taken away. She walked forward and lowered her voice. “Don’t be afraid, I will save you.”
She quickly cut her finger with a small knife. She then touched Ye Luan’s neck and quietly drew a cross on his skin.
This was a signal to the people outside.
Ye Luan looked at her expressionlessly. Although he didn’t believe her words, there was still a slight flutter in his heart.
He had also heard about her plan. It was indeed feasible.
However, most of the slaves that were brought out never returned.
And now, he was the one being taken away…
Qiu Tong was currently locked up in the slave den. He would be dead by tomorrow night’s auction.
Before Ye Luan was taken away, Qiu Tong suddenly said, “Do what you want.”
“…”
Qiu Tong’s heart skipped a beat. Her fingers dug into her palms as she watched with cold eyes, Ye Luan being taken away.
She told herself that no matter what, nothing must happen to Ye Luan..
