Such a thing can happen in broad daylight; these people are truly fearless.

When Zhou An'an arrived downstairs, he didn't see anyone and was worried that the waiter might be in contact with that group of people, so he had no choice but to push open the door and go out. He remembered that there was a law enforcement office on the left.

So she ran quickly toward the toilet.

The bald man tapped on the wall with his hand, then looked at his watch and realized that eight minutes had passed and the girl next door who had gone to the toilet still hadn't returned.

This was not normal, and it made him unable to sleep peacefully. So he got out of bed again, walked to the door, opened it, and looked in the direction of the toilet but did not see anyone.

I went to the door next door and listened, but there was no sound inside.

So he strode toward the restroom. If the little girl was in the restroom, that would be fine; if the key wasn't in the restroom, it meant they had discovered something.

He strode to the toilet door, coughed loudly, and if the girl inside were there, she would definitely scold him.

There was no sound, so he pushed the door open, looked inside but saw no one. To dispel his suspicions, he had no choice but to go back to the door next door.

Then he banged on the door.

"Are you there, young lady?"

"What is it?" Lu Zhixia replied.

"Where is your sister?" the bald man asked coldly.

Lu Zhixia said, "She's still in the bathroom, she'll be back soon."

Upon hearing this, the bald man's suspicions were confirmed, so he kicked the door open.

"You bitch, get out here! Did your sister go to the police station?"

Looking at the wooden door, Lu Zhixia was terrified and decisively pushed the bed to block the doorway.

The bald man kicked the door again, only to find that he couldn't open it.

The two people inside were woken up by the noise, so they both ran out.

"What's wrong, bro?"

"What else could it be? The truth came out, and the woman next door went to report it to the police!" The bald man looked at the woman inside the house. "It's all your fault for not gagging her earlier; they must have heard everything!"

Upon hearing this, the man rolled up his sleeves and was about to bang on the door when the bald man stopped him.

"We can't make any more noise. Let's pack our things and leave now."

"What about the woman?" the man asked again.

The bald man looked at the woman tied to the corner. It was obviously unrealistic to try to escape with her; if someone died, it would be a huge problem.

There's a saying in the underworld: as long as no one dies, everything is fine!

"Never mind, let's pack our things first."

Upon hearing this, the two immediately went back into the house to start packing. They had been involved in trafficking women for several years.

I never expected to fail like this. I can only leave quickly and find a place to stay.

Lu Zhixia heard a clattering sound from next door, as if they were packing up. Then came hurried footsteps, indicating that they had left.

Only then did she move the bed aside, gently open the door a crack to make sure no one was there, and then bravely went to the next room.

I saw a woman who was tied up, her face bruised and swollen, and her clothes were in disarray.

She quickly went over, pulled the person up, and put her on the bed. Then she first removed the cloth from the person's mouth and then slapped the person's face hard.

"Wake up, girl!"

Wake up!

Zhuang Lili slowly opened her eyes, saw a girl in front of her, and immediately cried for help.

"Help me—"

"Okay, it's alright now!" Lu Zhixia then untied the rope binding her hands.

Zhou An'an and his men were running back when they happened to see them running towards them. So he quickly told the people next to him,

"That's the group up ahead!"

The bald man stopped immediately and quickly grabbed his two brothers.

Only then did the two men notice the law enforcement team ahead.

"Stop right there! Don't run!" the law enforcement team shouted.

Zhou An'an panicked, "What's the use of just shouting? Hurry up and chase after them!"

Only then did the two of them take action and give chase.

The bald man had already realized what was happening and turned to run into another alley.

When Zhou An'an saw them chasing after them, she didn't follow. Instead, she hurriedly returned to the guesthouse and saw that their room door was wide open. Her heart skipped a beat.

He ran over in one breath, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was in the house. Then he went to the next room.

Seeing that Lu Zhixia was safe and sound, her heart finally settled back into her stomach, only to then see the seriously injured woman.

Is the person still alive?

Lu Zhixia looked up at Zhou An'an and said, "To be alive is to suffer a lot of abuse."

"Those bastards deserve to die!" Zhou An'an clenched his fists. "I'm going to see if they've caught the person yet."

Lu Zhixia, "You knew where they were, yet you ran out?"

Zhou An'an took a step forward but then stopped. "Then I'll go downstairs and call for help. Let's get this injured girl to the hospital first."
