With laughter and crying mixed together, Ye Yunniang didn't know what expression to wear.

Bang! The door was kicked open.

"Shut up, no crying allowed." A middle-aged man with a stubble beard walked in, his eyes glaring fiercely at the crying children inside.

His cannibalistic appearance made the children cry even harder. Of course, some were too timid to cry.

The middle-aged man was annoyed by the crying. Without hesitation, he raised his foot to kick a little girl who was closest to him.

A child around 3 years old, kicked like that, would likely die. Ye Yunniang got up to try and stop it.

Warmth was already in front of her; she rushed forward, shielding the child and taking the kick for him.

"ah"

Wen Nuan clutched her arm and screamed in pain.

"That's more like it." The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction as he listened to the screams.

He raised his foot to kick again.

"Wang Dachui, what's wrong with you? If you kick someone and hurt them, they won't fetch a good price." A young woman at the door spoke up to stop the middle-aged man, Wang Dachui.

"Kicking two to death doesn't matter." Wang Dachui didn't care at all; human life was as worthless to him as cats and dogs on the street.

"The eldest sister has spoken; this batch needs 100. We've only caught 30 so far. If you kill two, we won't have enough. If the eldest sister holds you accountable, you'll be responsible." Hu Sanniang rolled her eyes.

"Don't always threaten me with my elder sister, Hu Sanniang. I don't fall for that," Wang Dachui retorted.

"Don't be afraid, keep hitting me." Hu Sanniang crossed her arms and leaned against the doorway, watching Wang Dachui show off his toughness.

Thinking of his older sister's methods, Wang Dachui kicked Wen Nuan again, but this time not as hard as the previous two kicks.

He left with the comment, "Consider yourself lucky."

Wang Dachui left, and Hu Sanniang also left, locking the door again.
