"That girl looks very good." The man opened his mouth to speak but didn't give a specific description of Dudian's blue face. However, his tone was so firm that many people couldn't help but believe it.
His fingertips brushed the rim of a goblet, his eyes straying to the surf outside the window. Looking at the island not too far away, he raised his head and looked at the sky, trying to guess the time of arrival.
"How much do you want?" The other party wasn't someone who liked to bargain, so he asked very casually. If a girl was really good-looking, he didn't mind speaking too much about money.
The leader of the island was sitting in a high chair in a hall that was dominated by black buildings. He was waiting for someone to speak to him. Two large black pearls were spinning in his hands.
"Five million." The man inside the cabin asked for a large price. It was very normal for Du Liqing to have this price because of her appearance. He was sure that the woman was worth this price.
The two began to talk about the price of Du Liqing and only stopped when the ship was close to the island. They both hung up at the same time and waited for the time the ship docked.
Not long after, the boat stopped. The door to Du Liqing's cabin was once again pushed open by the man who was the boss. He coldly glanced at Du Liqing and directly ordered the thug: "Untie her and take her away!"
The two thugs standing to the side walked towards her and forcefully pulled her up. He waited for her to regain her balance before he pushed her away. The few of them walked from the cabin to the island. Only the leader of the group spoke a word or two with the contact of the people on the island, and no one said anything else.
On the island, Du Liqing was forced to retreat by the thug. She looked around and found that everyone was sitting on their own matter. From the start, no one was looking at them and no one was pointing the way.
"Brat, continue training, did your skin itch?" A man with a naked upper body was standing in the hot sun, angrily roaring at a few children who were slightly out of breath. Seeing that the child was still not obedient, he used the whip in his hand to whip him.
The thin layer of his clothes was torn off, and a red line of blood seeped out of his body. None of the children dared to cry for fear of more whips. The child's eyes became moist after being beaten up, but he clenched his teeth and continued to rush forward without daring to stop. He didn't want his tears to fall, so he continued to rush forward.
When Du Ruqing passed by, she just happened to see this scene. She felt pity in her heart and wanted to walk up and help, but she was pushed away by the hands behind her. She growled in dissatisfaction, "Damned woman, let's go!"
Du Ruqing, who was pushed forward, staggered forward with a complicated feeling in his heart. A child seemed to have done something wrong as he infuriated the man with the whip and continued to whip him.
The child was in so much pain that he wanted to crawl away, but he just happened to crawl in front of Du Liqing. The tears at the corner of his eyes had long soaked his face. He looked at Dudian who was standing in front of him. He opened his mouth and spoke in spoken words, "Save me!"
The rope on Du Liqing's body had long been untied. He saw the man was about to whip the child again. She immediately crouched down and wrapped her arms around the child, waiting for the whip to strike her.
"Hurry up and leave! Why do you have so many matters to attend to?" He felt displeased as he looked at Du Liqing protecting the child. He grabbed her arm and forcibly pulled her away.
The man who hit the child shot a cold glance at the delicate-looking woman before stopping his beatings. He then tied the whip around his waist and placed it in a bag on his waist. He stepped forward and held the child's arm, forcibly separating the child from the girl.
The two of them were forcefully separated by the arm. The child didn't say anything, but a pitiful look could be seen in his watery eyes. At this moment, Du Liqing, who was also in the Cao family's camp, could not protect himself and could not protect the child in front of him either. He could only be pushed forward by the thug behind him.
Once again, she used her handkerchief to wipe Du Liangqing's shoulder, as if there was something dirty on her. Du Liqing selectively ignored their actions and turned around to look at the child. He discovered that after a few lashes from the man, he was forced to continue his training and did not give them any chance to catch their breath.
This made Du Ruqing's heart skip a beat. She never thought that such a cruel way of handling matters would exist in this place. However, she could not stop. She was pushed forward by the thugs behind her, and was escorted by a few people to the main courtyard.
"Hello!" The leader of the island walked down from his seat and looked at his hand. He then extended his hand to shake the other's hand politely.
He had already put on his gloves and shook hands with the leader in front of him. He walked up behind Du Liqing and pulled her forward so that the leader could look at her properly and get the money for the price.
"Not bad indeed, no problem." Du Liqing staggered unsteadily from being pushed. He stood firmly and looked at the leader, just in time to see the leader face to face. The leader was very satisfied with his fearless appearance and exquisite features. He nodded his head to express his agreement.
He took out two sheets of paper from his pocket, on which was written an agreement that had been negotiated between the two parties. He had already signed his name and pressed his palm, waiting for the other party's name and hand mark.
After receiving the two agreements, the leader checked them from top to bottom and felt that there were no problems, then he waved his hand to his subordinates behind him. He picked up the pen that his subordinate had given him, signed his name on it, and pressed the cinnabar wool to it. His fingers were dyed red before he pressed them onto the two pieces of paper.
"One serving each." The leader then handed a piece of agreement to Lou Cheng and spoke in an indifferent tone.
Du Liqing, who was standing on the spot, watched as they signed the contract. The more she looked at it, the more it seemed to have something to do with her. He frowned and tried to leave the place. Patrolling the area once, he realized that she didn't seem to have the chance to escape.
The two of them looked at each other at the same time. Both of them put away the agreement in order to prevent a dispute from breaking out when the other party broke the agreement. Both sides did not talk much, and after a short while, they left this place with his subordinates.
When the thug was about to leave in front of Du Liqing, his heart tightened. He was ready to leave with the thug, but was stopped by the people on the island. She frowned in dissatisfaction, but could only stand on the spot. She turned her head to look at the leader, and her heart was filled with displeasure.
