I secretly followed the group of guys who were talking, trying to understand what they were saying.

Now I was going to see for myself, so I followed them all the way to an arcade.

They went to see a little brat, exchanged a few words, and were then taken to a small hotel nearby.

I didn't go in. Instead, I called Ermin and asked him to gather some people for me.

No more than twenty or so would be enough. Ermin didn't ask any more questions and just called Camel to bring the men over.

I waited outside the hotel, keeping my spiritual sense focused on the group of people inside.

I also called the two Wangs and asked them to bring their younger brother over to be recognized.

Because I overheard them chatting and they said that their method was to have their own sisters tricked into working as prostitutes.

Some were scammed out of money and then threatened, while others were part of a conspiracy to set a trap.

In any case, they would first set a trap for the younger brother, then use it to threaten the sisters. A few of them would also cooperate voluntarily and split the profits.

I heard that Liu Meiyao was sold to me by her younger brother, and that she was very beautiful and had the best business.

I didn't move and just stood outside until the camel arrived with the people.

He brought three vans with more than twenty people. I didn't wait for Erwang and went up directly with my men.

The hotel owner didn't dare ask anything when he saw so many of us. I didn't even knock; I just smashed the door open.

Everyone in the room was stunned. There were only three women and more than ten men. I glanced at the prettiest one in the middle.

She had already resigned herself to her fate. When she saw outsiders coming in, she didn't even cover her body. The other two women, on the other hand, quickly grabbed something to cover themselves.

There were four or five people who came to play, the rest were thugs. I glanced around the room and said, "All of you who came to play, get out."

The boys on the other side all ran away, leaving only a few thugs. I found a piece of clothing and covered the girl in the middle with it.

Because there were more of me, they didn't dare say anything harsh. I was waiting for the Wang family's son, so I ignored them.

I looked down at the woman in front of me, who seemed somewhat resigned to her fate, and asked, "Are you called Liu Meiyao?"

The woman had been staring at me ever since I covered her with a blanket, and she looked puzzled when she heard my question.

They stared at me for a long time, confirming that they really had never seen me before.

But she still answered me: "Yes, we probably don't know each other."

Her voice is beautiful, magnetic, and has a quality like water falling on a jade plate. The melodious sound lingers in the air. Just for that voice alone is enough.

I cleared my mind of all distractions and asked her earnestly, "Who changed your name? You must have had a tough time these past few years."

At this moment, Liu Meiyao stared at me with wide eyes in horror, but then she started to cry.

She cried as she asked me, "Who are you? What do you know? What do you want?"

Faced with her three probing questions, I didn't rush to answer. By then, she had already sat up in bed.

I could tell from her tone that although she had resigned herself to her fate, she had not given in; she was only temporarily enduring it.

So I found a stool, sat down, and looked her straight in the eye.

"I was just a passerby who happened to hear your name. I had only heard that some people would name their daughters this way before."

But I've never seen anything like it before. You're the first one, so I came to check on you. If there's still hope for you, I'll give you a chance—a chance to choose freely."

I finished speaking and just looked at the girl in front of me, who was crying her eyes out.

In any case, she was just an ordinary young girl in the prime of her life.

She has always been treated differently; since birth, no one has ever told her that she has the right to choose.

Everything was arranged for her; she had never been treated fairly, simply because she was a girl. She had nowhere to vent her grievances.

Today, a young man suddenly appeared and told her that he would give her a choice.

She couldn't hold back any longer and started wailing. I just watched her.

I didn't say anything, just quietly waited for her to finish crying.

At this moment, the Wang brothers arrived, looking at the situation in the room with a bit of confusion. I called out to the younger Wang brother so that he could recognize the people.

Whether these thugs were the ones who gave him the ideas or not, there's no need to admit it.

These thugs have been unable to stand since Wang Xiaodi came in; two of them even wet their pants.
