As soon as Ye Zhaoyu finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through the back of her neck.

Ye Zhaoyu slowly collapsed, cursing under her breath as she closed her eyes. Despite her anger, she could only pretend to faint; the pain was unbearable.

Why not just use a "good behavior powder" and let her obediently follow along? Why did you have to do this?

Ye Zhaoyu muttered to herself. Aunt Tian and the man who knocked her unconscious looked around to make sure no one had seen what they were doing, then quickly carried her into a house not far away.

The man put Ye Zhaoyu down and said breathlessly, "This trick still works. Even if we're being watched, they're probably still watching Second Sister right now."

“It’s been a long time since we’ve kidnapped anyone. Let’s finish this job here and move to another place next month,” Aunt Tian said confidently.

"I'll do whatever Aunt Tian says." The man had great faith in Aunt Tian.

They've been doing this for over 30 years without any trouble, thanks to Aunt Tian's cunning.

This method of abducting people is a bit slower, but it's safer.

All the clues ended with Tian Erniang; who knows if the missing person was driven by curiosity?

He always managed to get his hands on the target he set his sights on, and when faced with police investigations, he didn't leave a single flaw.

Aunt Tian found a handkerchief and wiped Ye Zhaoyu's face clean.

"This girl is really pretty, but she has a small frame, which might make it difficult for her to have children. However, many people still like girls like her."

The man also saw clearly Ye Zhaoyu's incredibly beautiful face, "Yes, she can fetch a good price."

The two men sized up Ye Zhaoyu as if she were a piece of merchandise.

"Boss, your sister-in-law is missing." Someone named Shanmao hurriedly followed Ye Zhaoyu. When they reached a small alley, she didn't come out. They went in and found it was a dead end. His sister-in-law had just vanished.

"Tell me more carefully," Ling Yunjue asked anxiously. Although she knew Ye Zhaoyu had ways to protect herself, she was still very worried.

Lynx quickly recounted the entire process in detail.

After hearing that it was Old Woman Tian, ​​Ling Yunjue had an idea and went through the events surrounding the disappearances of everyone.

All the missing people knew the same person, Old Lady Tian.

At its peak, 20 young girls disappeared in a single month, either running off with men, getting into accidents, or simply vanishing.

Ling Yunjue had a feeling that there was something wrong with Granny Tian, ​​but he just didn't know what it was.

"Hu Zi, go and investigate Old Lady Tian," Ling Yunjue ordered.

The police had a record of Granny Tian's situation, and Hu Zi quickly retrieved the information.

She was a middle-aged woman who was in charge of things in the compound. Everyone said she was upright, warm-hearted, and liked to help others. She also liked to help people find partners. People from the surrounding villages would often talk to her about anything that happened to them.

There is only one son and one daughter in the family. The daughter married far away to another province, the son works at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the daughter-in-law is from the countryside and stays at home to take care of the children.

Grandma Tian's health wasn't very good; she was frequently in and out of the hospital and would visit her daughter twice a year.

He has plenty of free time, knows so much, and is also very kind-hearted.

Ling Yunjue frowned as she looked at the missing persons' statements, but some of the statements said that the children said they went to see Granny Tian before they left home, but Granny Tian had a certificate proving that no one came looking for her.

What exactly happened?

Ling Yunjue had a hunch that it was someone she knew who committed the crime.

On the other side, Ye Zhaoyu was locked in a cellar. It was unclear exactly where she was, but she knew that the man hadn't carried her for long before putting her down, so it was probably not far from the hospital.

"You're awake! Would you like something to drink?" Aunt Tian asked, putting down the chicken leg she was holding when she saw Ye Zhaoyu wake up.

"Aunt Tian, ​​why are you arresting me?" Ye Zhaoyu looked at Aunt Tian in fear.

This person isn't Aunt Tian from the hospital. I guess they're identical twins. I guess one of them is scouting ahead and pretending to be a nice guy, while the other is trying to abduct someone from behind.

Ye Zhaoyu quickly figured out the kidnapper's methods for abducting people.

He's quite smart, but he just hasn't used his intelligence in the right way.

"Fine, don't drink then. Just you wait. I'll sell you tomorrow night, and you'll never see me again." Seeing Ye Zhaoyu like this, Aunt Tian said nothing and continued eating her meal.

Ye Zhaoyu looked around and saw only three girls who had fainted from hunger, indicating that they had been locked up for a long time.

"Aunt Tian, ​​please let me go! Please!" Ye Zhaoyu pleaded with Aunt Tian in fear.

Aunt Tian ignored her, and Ye Zhaoyu shouted for help.

"Help! Someone please help me! Help me..."

Seeing that the cries for help were a bit loud, Aunt Tian picked up a knife and walked up to Ye Zhaoyu. The knife slid across Ye Zhaoyu's face as she said in a sinister tone, "No matter how much you scream, no one will hear you. I just like quiet. If you make any more noise, I'll cut your tongue out."

When it came to cutting, Aunt Tian even demonstrated how to do it while holding the knife.

Ye Zhaoyu immediately dared not speak, shrinking into a huddle in fear.

Ye Zhaoyu remained silent. Hearing that the person would be sold in two days, she thought, "Wait two more days! I'll starve to death!"

Seeing that Ye Zhaoyu was obediently silent, Aunt Tian took a steamed bun from the table and tossed it to her, saying, "Eat up, one steamed bun a day, or there won't be any left."

Ye Zhaoyu looked at the steamed bun with fear, not understanding what was going on, her eyes wandering.

After I get out, I must make Ling Yunjue cook for me for 10 days. Waaah... She's so pitiful. She can't even get enough to eat and has to pick up things that have fallen on the ground.

Ye Zhaoyu felt wronged.

No one could have suffered as much as she did.

Seeing Ye Zhaoyu crying softly, Aunt Tian didn't say anything more to her. She thought that she would stop crying when she was tired of it.

After dark, Ye Zhaoyu would try all sorts of ways to sneak out, but each time she was caught by Granny Tian and brought back to the cellar.

"This is the third time. You can't escape now. Give up and behave yourself. I don't want to hit you and ruin your good looks," Old Lady Tian threatened menacingly.

He held a blood-red whip that reeked of a foul stench.

"Mmm, I won't run away anymore, I'll be good." Ye Zhaoyu nodded quickly, shrinking to the side in fear.

For the next two days, Ye Zhaoyu said nothing and silently huddled to the side.

As dawn broke, a man brought a girl to the house.

"Little Li, you've worked hard. You're so charming. You've managed to win over 13 girls this time!" Aunt Tian praised.

"Well, I'm still far from good enough. I should learn from my older brother. He cheated 50 people, and I only cheated 13. What kind of skill is that?" said the humble one named Xiao Li.

However, he still looked very proud.

"You're still young. You'll definitely surpass your older brother when you're around 23," Aunt Tian said, comforting Xiao Li as she thought of her husband.
