Feeling a chill run down Pei Yuezhi's spine as she was stared at by this greasy man.

He turned to look at Liang Zhenzhen lying on the ground, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth where she had been hit.

"Aren't you afraid of the authorities in public like this?"

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liang looked at Boss Luo with a guilty conscience.

Boss Luo, however, didn't seem to care: "Madam, Liang Zhenzhen will soon be mine. She's disobedient, so what's wrong with me disciplining her?"

“That’s right, I’m her second uncle, it’s only natural for me to discipline her!” Uncle Liang felt more confident after hearing Boss Luo’s words.

"Brother Liang, have you brought the indenture?" Boss Luo's eyes never left Pei Yuezhi's face as he spoke.

It disgusted Pei Yuezhi.

"There's even a contract of servitude? This is going to be difficult," Pei Yuezhi thought to herself.

Uncle Liang, with a fawning expression, pulled out a contract of indenture from his pocket and handed it to Boss Luo.

Boss Luo opened it, gave a satisfied "hmm," and then turned to look at Pei Yuezhi.

"Does Madam have any further questions?"

Being called "Madam" by him always felt so awkward.

But we can't worry about that now. Is this all that's going to happen to this innocent girl?

"Wait a minute, it seems you haven't paid yet, right? Since you haven't paid, others have a chance to buy it, don't they?"

Pei Yuezhi didn't really approve of this deal, but if she didn't get involved, she didn't know what kind of treatment Liang Zhenzhen would receive.

Uncle Liang said with some disdain, "This is the person Boss Luo wants, so naturally no one else can buy him."

"Please, madam, save me!"

"Shut up, you brat!" Seeing that she still dared to ask for help, Uncle Liang kicked her directly.

Pei Yuezhi had just noticed that Uncle Liang was punching and kicking Liang Zhenzhen, and Boss Luo didn't care at all, and even watched with great interest. He probably has some kind of perverted fetish.

Wouldn't Liang Zhenzhen's past be like going to hell?

Pei Yuezhi then asked, "Sir, I also find this young lady quite appealing. What price are you offering?"

Boss Luo leered at Pei Yuezhi: "If Madam wants this girl, that's fine too. I'll just consider it making friends with Madam. How about we have a meal together and then you come to visit my house?"

“Madam, please don’t worry about me. This is truly fate. Please ignore this Mr. Luo.”

Boss Luo's tone was vulgar and his face was lewd, so Liang Zhenzhen didn't want innocent people to get involved.

Looking at the kind-hearted Liang Zhenzhen, a bolder person next to her also asked, "Boss Luo, you've seen so much of the world, and she's just a little girl. Look how she's crying. It'll be a hassle for you to take her home!"

Surprisingly, someone still dared to speak up for Liang Zhenzhen.

But what Boss Luo said next disgusted Pei Yuezhi.

"I already said that if this lady is willing to have a meal with me and come to my house as a guest, then this matter can be dropped."

Pei Yuezhi was thinking of a solution. Going out with him was definitely out of the question, but she couldn't bear to stand by and watch him die.

Seeing Pei Yuezhi hesitate, Liang Zhenzhen knelt down before her: "Zhenzhen knows that Madam wants to save me, but Zhenzhen absolutely cannot let Madam fall into trouble because of herself!"

"Please go! Zhenzhen will always remember your kindness!"

No, this can't go on like this, but what can I do? I can't let myself get dragged down with me.

"Well? What do you think, Madam? Would you like to accompany me on a trip?"

Pei Yuezhi calmed down and thought of the county magistrate. She wondered if their human trafficking was illegal.

But the fact that they dared to do these things openly and honestly on the street made Pei Yuezhi a little unsure.

"Does Mr. Luo know Lord Zhao Wu?"

Pei Yuezhi thought for a moment and then asked.

"Of course I know him." Boss Luo sneered. "Madam, are you trying to use your father to pressure me? What, is it illegal for me to take a concubine?"

I did have this suspicion about him taking a concubine, but hearing him say it out loud still made me feel disgusted.

If Liang Zhenzhen is old enough, she would be fifteen. And this Boss Luo calls Uncle Liang "brother," so he must be around the same age as Liang Zhenzhen's father. It's utterly despicable.

"What's your decision? If you're willing to come with me, I'll release this girl." Boss Luo's tone was ambiguous, his eyes lewd as he stared straight at Pei Yuezhi.

"Isn't this Boss Luo? What are you doing here?" A clear, pleasant male voice came from behind him; the voice sounded very familiar.

Just as Pei Yuezhi was about to turn around, a tall figure blocked her way solidly.

Judging from the figure and the voice, Pei Yuezhi confirmed that the person who had come was indeed Qiao Zixun.

"Isn't this Young Master Qiao? What a coincidence! I'm making friends with this lady."

Boss Luo's attitude was no longer arrogant; he was now very respectful.

That's true. The Qiao family is a big name in this town, but I've never heard of this Boss Luo. I guess he's not a big businessman.

"Sister, is this Boss Luo your friend?" Qiao Zixun turned around and asked Pei Yuezhi.

Upon hearing this address, Boss Luo was startled: "Ah... Ah... Sister?"

Seeing Boss Luo's attitude, Pei Yuezhi finally breathed a sigh of relief; Liang Zhenzhen was saved today.

After relaxing, she cooperated with Qiao Zixun and said with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Zixun, I don't know this Boss Luo. He forcibly married a girl on the street. I couldn't stand it and said a few words, and he wanted me to accompany him."

As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her bosom and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

These words startled Boss Luo quite a bit, and he stammered as he quickly tried to explain.

But Qiao Zixun interrupted him directly: "Enough, Luo Wei, how dare you! Even if you don't know she's my sister, you should be able to tell she's married. You're abducting a woman in the street and you dare to provoke a married woman."

"Your behavior is so egregious, what if you end up in the yamen one day? Our Qiao family will never dare to do business with you again."

Luo Wei was so scared just now because he was worried that it would affect the business of both families. Hearing Qiao Zixun say this, his heart finally died.

"Young Master Qiao, and this lady, I was truly blind to your greatness. You are all very magnanimous!" Luo Wei reached out to pull Qiao Zixun.

However, Qiao Zixun dodged it directly.

Then he remembered something else: "Madam, didn't you want that girl? Well, I'll give you a contract of indenture, and I'll even pay for it for you. Please don't refuse to cooperate!"

As Luo Wei spoke, he handed the indenture to Pei Yuezhi, then took out a large sum of money from his pocket and stuffed it directly into Uncle Liang's pocket.

"This girl belongs to this lady now, so get out of here."

After Uncle Liang received the money, he no longer cared who the person belonged to, and he quickly ran away.

"Young Master Qiao, is this alright?"
