"Yeah, that's really fast."

"Hehe, that means our fate is still quite deep." Wang Zhenshan dismounted.

Xiao Huan stood in front of the car door, arms outstretched: "What are you doing? Don't touch my young lady."

Wang Zhenshan felt a touch of admiration for the young girl in front of him.

"I'll spare your life because of your loyalty to your master. Get out of my way!"

Xiao Huan bit her lip, with an expression of resignation to her fate.

“If I don’t leave, is there no law left in your country? Aren’t you afraid of retribution for doing this?”

The brother who had taken a liking to Xiao Huan at first sight laughed heartily.

"Little girl, you're so naive. The law? What is the law? The emperor is gone, so where is the law? Heh, in our hands, my boss is the king, and his words are the law."

Xiao Huan shrank back, but still stubbornly stood in front of the car door.

She knew her strength was too weak, but at this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to protect her young lady.

The lady bought her from a slave trader on the roadside years ago; they were her second parents.

If it weren't for the lady's life-saving grace, she would probably have wasted her life in a brothel.

The lady not only saved her life, but also recognized her talent and taught her to read and write, and even made her a playmate of the young lady.

She had protected her mistress since childhood, and even though she knew it was extremely dangerous, she would never abandon her mistress.

Bai Qianmo looked at the slightly trembling, thin figure in front of her and felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

"Xiao Huan, move aside!"

"Miss?"

"Get out of the way."

Xiao Huan was puzzled, but when she met Bai Qianmo's calm and unwavering gaze, she hesitated and moved away.

Bai Qianmo pushed open the car door to get out, but her clothes were tightly grabbed by a hand.

"Are you crazy?" Xu Jinwei stared with wide, terrified eyes.

Bai Qianmo laughed instead: "Second sister, what did I just say? In this chaotic world, where is there absolute safety? Aren't we on the verge of life and death right now?"

Xu Jinwei didn't speak, but pouted and cried, "You still have the mood to talk about these things?"

Bai Qianmo patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"You're just bragging."

Although she retorted to Bai Qianmo, Xu Jinwei felt inexplicably at ease.

Bai Qianmo pushed open the car door and got out.

"You must have known our whereabouts beforehand, so you followed us all the way here, right?"

"Hehe, you're really smart. Last time I lost to you, I was completely convinced of my defeat."

"So this time, are you in it for the money or for the person?"

Wang Zhenshan stared intently at Bai Qianmo, then raised an eyebrow and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I want both money and women. Brothers, take all these girls back with you."

"Yes!" A group of burly men surrounded them.

Wang Zhenshan said, "This little girl is very cunning, you all need to keep a close eye on her!"

"Don't worry, brother. There are a few of us grown men here. How could we not keep an eye on her?"

Bai Qianmo stood still, motionless.

Xu Jinwei was roughly pulled down by one of the brothers.

They tied the hands and feet of the four girls, Bai Qianmo, Xu Jinwei, Xiao Huan, and Bi'er, with ropes. Wang Zhenshan then carried Bai Qianmo on his back and placed her on his horse.

The young man who had taken a liking to Xiao Huan then took her away.

Xu Jinwei and Bi'er were placed on horseback by two other men.

The group spurred their horses and rode away.

Xu Jinwei and Bi'er's cries were completely drowned out by the sound of horses' hooves.
