In the small courtyard that the production team had temporarily rented, several young people paced back and forth, their faces filled with anxiety.

As soon as Qi An and the other two went inside, a girl threw herself into Xiao Liu's arms: "Waaah, you're finally back! You scared me to death!"

Xiao Liu patted his girlfriend on the back and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Where are the director and the others?"

The girl said with a sob in her voice, "When the guests went out to record a program, they were stopped by a group of villagers who wanted to take some of the older sisters back to be their wives."

Luckily, one of the cameramen was quick-witted and ran back to inform the director. The director immediately took his team and left, leaving the rest of us to watch the equipment.

The stagehand gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I'm completely stunned. Can you believe it? What era are we living in? This kind of thing still happens. Anyone who didn't know better would think it was a bandit's den."

Xiao Liu and Xiao Li exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We believe you."

They had just come out of a bandit's den.

The girl came over and pulled Qi An: "Sister Zhou, come in quickly, don't let anyone see us. They snatch women whenever they see them. We've already called the police, let's wait for them to arrive."

Xiao Liu looked at his girlfriend, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Qi An smiled at her: "Don't worry, I'll go and bring them back."

He turned to the stagehand and said, "Lead the way."

The stagehand frowned, about to say something, but Xiao Liu nudged him, "Listen to Sister Zhou, lead the way quickly."

The stagehand was completely bewildered, but subconsciously did as instructed.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Li stayed at the base, along with the protective equipment and two young makeup artists.

There were a total of eight guests participating in the recording of this program, four men and four women.

Among the female guests, Zhou Qiong is the oldest, the other three are all under thirty, and one of them is a recent graduate.

Zhou Qiong and Er Ya left earlier, and the other seven people went out to collect folk songs and happened to run into a group of villagers who had finished their work.

Upon seeing the three beautiful female celebrities, the group's eyes widened, and they immediately grabbed hoes and stopped them.

From a great distance, Qi An could hear the director's loud voice shouting.

"Can't you understand human language? How many times have I told you, they're here to film a show, they're not staying here. Do you know this is a crime?"

The local villagers, who spoke with heavy accents, didn't listen to a word he was saying.

"I don't understand what you're saying. I have a house and land, all I'm missing is a wife."

"She was smiling at me just now, doesn't that mean she's interested in me?"

“I don’t care, I’ve got my eye on her, she has to stay and give me a son.”

There was also the voice of an old woman.

“I asked them yesterday, and none of them are married yet. They also said that the scenery here is beautiful, so let’s stay.”

Someone shouted, "There are only three women. Those without wives have priority. Whoever grabs them first gets to keep them."

The sounds of arguing and cursing suddenly increased several times, and were mixed with the cries of several girls.

Walking a few steps faster, Qi An saw that dozens of fierce-looking villagers had surrounded the production crew.

The director and a dozen or so men from the production crew shielded the three female guests in the center, their faces and bodies covered in bruises.

The three girls were pale, trembling, and tears streamed down their faces.

Dozens of hands reached out to them; if it weren't for someone protecting them, they would have been devoured alive by the villagers present.

Even the four handsome male guests were taken advantage of, and they were so angry that their faces turned black.

The stagehand cursed, "These idiots are fucking hopeless."

Qi An said, "If we change the way we talk, they will understand."

Upon seeing Qi An, the director hurriedly shouted, "Zhou Qiong, don't come any closer! Run!"

When the villagers turned around and saw her, their eyes lit up; they had gained another wife.

"Stop her."

Several men ran towards Qi An from the outside, and the stagehand felt a chill run down his spine: "Sister Zhou."

Seeing that Qi An not only didn't run away, but continued to walk this way, the director was so angry he was panting.

The stagehand, his face pale, tried to protect her, but Qi An yanked him away and kicked them both away.

director:"……"

The noise paused for a moment, then several more men reached out to Qi An.

"This woman needs to be taught a lesson, let's all go for her."

Qi An sneered, "You're courting death."

Almost no one saw how she made her move, and five or six more men fell to the ground screaming.

Seeing how tough she was, the villagers got angry, and several of them came at her with hoes.

As a result, these few suffered even worse fates. Not only were their arms and legs broken by Qi An, but they were also kicked until they vomited blood.

To everyone's astonishment, Qi An walked directly into the encirclement.

Seeing her smiling and rolling up her sleeves as she walked, the remaining villagers took a step back in a panic, and then rushed forward.

Afterwards, the director and the production crew watched an action blockbuster on site.

She moved through the encirclement with ease, without any fancy moves, and with each strike, a man was sent flying.

The dull thud of fists striking flesh, the crisp crack of bones breaking, screams, and wails echoed throughout the land.

There were two old women left, and Qi An slapped each of them, knocking out all their teeth.

Two minutes later, no one was standing except for Qi An.

The crew members snapped out of their daze and gasped in unison.

She...she actually took down more than twenty men single-handedly, even though they were armed.

The way everyone looked at Qi An changed.

In just a few minutes, another group of fans joined the fray.

The three female guests, in particular, looked at her with starry eyes, and even stopped crying.

The director swallowed hard, wanting to kowtow to Zhou Qiong.

He was incredibly grateful that he had invited Zhou Qiong to participate in the program.

Qi An lowered his sleeves and asked the "dead dogs" who couldn't even get up from the ground with a smile:

"Answer me, can you understand human speech now?"

There were only groans and curses; no one answered her.

Qi An chose the one who used the most vulgar language, kicked him, and asked again, "Did you understand?"

The burly man coughed up blood and looked at him in horror: "I understand, I understand."

Qi An walked towards the second person, and before he could even kick him, he said urgently, "I understand too."

The remaining people shouted in agreement, "We understand!"

Qi An asked again, "What did you understand?"

"They...they don't want to stay and live with us."

Qi An smiled at the crew and said, "See, they understood it now."

Everyone: "..."

Just then, the police finally arrived.

They rushed over as soon as they received the report from the program crew.

They know exactly what kind of people these villagers are.

If these celebrities get into trouble here, this place will become famous.

Leaders of all ranks, from top to bottom, all have to take the blame.

I imagined all sorts of terrible scenarios along the way, but I was completely dumbfounded when I got off the bus.

The crew members were standing perfectly fine, while the villagers lay scattered on the ground, covered in blood.

"What...what's going on?"

The director opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.

Er Ya suddenly rushed out from around the corner, pointed at Qi An, and cried to the police:

“She did it all. I saw it all. She even hit my dad and grandma. Arrest her immediately.”

The police looked at Qi An in disbelief.

Was it all done by this woman alone?

The production crew was furious: "We acted in self-defense. They attacked first, and we have video evidence."

Before the police could speak, Qi An preemptively declared, "I want to report a crime. There are people in this village trafficking women, illegally detaining people, and committing intentional homicide."

Everyone: "..."
