Chapter 266: Calm and Self-Rescue (Thanks to Shui Yuqing’s He Shi Bi + Update)

At this moment, Xiao Qian suddenly understood how unwise it was for her to break up with Yu Minglang – or as Zheng Xu had said.

She hadn’t actually planned to break up with him, but wanted to pretend in order to appease the bit of conscience she had left.

He was her benefactor from her past life.

Seeing his handwriting, Xiao Qian remembered everything.

If he wasn’t her benefactor, she might have been able to accept his love with ease. But now her benefactor deeply loved her and even got distracted and hurt at work because of her.

So Xiao Qian, thinking she was right, made a decision. But then Zheng Xu’s words sharply hit her heart.

She was just trying to find a splendid excuse for herself, so she wouldn’t have to continue feeling guilty.

She owed Yu Minglang so much, so much that she didn’t know how to repay him.

The smartest person and the dumbest person were sometimes just separated by a wall – being too smart could make one foolish.

If she could safely escape this danger, she must choose the right way to deal with this relationship. There were so many uncertainties in the future, no one knows when danger would come; Yu Minglang’s job was dangerous, but she encountered human trafficking.

Xiao Qian admired herself for being able to think so much during a crucial moment.

The car stopped, and the woman walked over to gag Xiao Qian and Xiao Yu’s mouths.

Xiao Qian guessed they might be approaching a downtown area.

The car drove for a while, she could hear the horns outside. It stopped again, and the smell of gasoline spread – they should be refueling the car.

Shi Yu tried to make a whimpering sound for help, but no one could hear her. The car continued after refueling.

If anyone ever told Xiao Qian that a minivan was the worst quality car in the world, she would laugh at them. It hadn’t broken down after driving such a long distance; long live our domestic products!

If the car had broken down, the chances would have been better.

After refueling, the car continued, bumping back and forth. With no water and food, Xiao Qian and Shi Yu felt terrible, but nobody could fall asleep. They were now dancing on the edge of a knife, just an inch from disaster.

When the car stopped once more, it had been a long, long time.

Xiao Qian guessed they might have changed the license plate midway, or maybe they didn’t need to. At this time, surveillance cameras were not yet widespread across the nation. As long as they avoided checkpoints, there wouldn’t be much of a problem. That’s why they were so fearless and even brazen.

This time the car stopped, the middle-aged woman came over, removed the cloth from Xiao Qian and Shi Yu’s mouths, and gave them a bottle of water and two steamed buns.

“Hurry up and eat! We have to get moving after you’re done!”

Their hands were numb from being tied for so long.

The two girls didn’t know how long it had been since they had eaten, but at this moment, they looked at each other.

With their hands free, was there a chance to take down these bastards? For example, if the girls could handle the fat woman, they could steal the car, and Xiao Qian could drive away with speed and passion?

But this idea only lasted for 2 seconds before it shattered.

Xiao Qian saw it, and so did Shi Yu.

No wonder the woman dared to let them go.

There were several cars outside, each person looked vicious, mostly men, it seemed like they were accomplices.

In those cars, she wondered if there were more girls like Xiao Qian and the others.

“How many did you get?” The woman responsible for tying up Xiao Qian asked the man in another car.

“Bad luck, didn’t get any. How much did you get?”

“Haha, we’re doing fine. Someone helped us, we got two, and the goods are quite good. After this, we can go home for the New Year.”

“I got one too. This stupid woman ran out after arguing with a man. Hahaha, it was so easy!”

Treating people like goods, discussing them so casually, it really made people want to fight them to the death.

Shi Yu clenched her steamed bun, and thought, if she rushed out and tried to kill these people, could she help Xiao Qian escape?

There were so many people, all looking fierce.

At this point, Shi Yu wished she was wearing a bomb around her, just to kill these scum, or have a bucket of gasoline to burn them to death.

“Keep your head down, eat. Don’t look, don’t think, just listen!” Xiao Qian lowered her head and quickly ate the bun. She needed to preserve her strength and remind Shi Yu not to make any rash moves.

Although Shi Yu was naive, she was really loyal. Sensing that she might be trying to sacrifice herself to help Xiao Qian, she had to remind her to keep her temper under control.

Fighting back in their den could only lead to a worse fate.

With Xiao Qian’s advice, Shi Yu held back her anger. Xiao Qian stuffed the steamed bun into her hand, “Eat, you’ll have no strength if you don’t. Remember, you have an important mission.”

Just as they were quietly eating, a sudden scream came from the front.

A girl was surrounded by several men, constantly being punched and kicked.

“Run! You think you’re so great with your long legs? Break her legs!”

The man speaking was a big baldy, looking very fierce, showing no mercy when hitting the woman.

The circle of scum was beyond normal people’s imagination, as the constant cries were like a living hell. Shi Yu’s stomach churned, and she wanted to stand up, but Xiao Qian tightly held her hand, shaking her head.

Going out would not do any good, instead, it might even land them in deeper trouble.

That girl should also have been kidnapped, and after brutally beaten, was dragged into the car, her screams getting softer and softer.

They were less than 5 meters away, how could they not hear? Xiao Qian held tightly to the shivering Shi Yu, her heart burning with anger.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to save her, it was just truly impossible.

Shi Yu seemed to be terrified, what was happening here exceeded all her knowledge. Originally living under the bright sun, she was suddenly pushed into a dark and horrifying place she’d never touched.

Some people were really worse than livestock; you can’t assume that what you don’t see doesn’t exist.

Xiao Qian hugged her tightly and spoke soothingly.

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here, no one can hurt you.”

“Boss Qian, she, she…” Shi Yu felt her blood run cold. She was scared and angry at those bastards!

“Your calmness can not only save you but also help her. Hold on, Shi Yu. Remember what I taught you: keep your grievances in your heart and do what you should do at the right time. One day, these blood debts will be repaid in blood. Hold on!”

After these people had a rest, Xiao Qian and Shi Yu were put onto the larger car, and tied up again, but their mouths were not stuffed. On this car, besides Xiao Yu and Xiao Qian, there was a girl covered with injuries, her eyes dull and lifeless, seemingly in shock from the ordeal. The abusers gagged her to prevent her from screaming.

Big Baldy was now driving, and there were two other men in the car, both of them burly and speaking with the same accent.

“These two are pretty good.” One of the men glanced at Xiao Qian and Xiao Yu’s faces, swallowing his saliva. He even stretched out his hand to inappropriately touch Xiao Yu’s face.

Uh-oh.. He’s getting lustful!
