Chapter 442 Leave this place and never come back!

After speaking with the village chief, the director urged everyone to hurry up.

It was completely dark by now, and the production crew had turned on several of those powerful spotlights at the entrance of the village.

There was quite a commotion at the village entrance, and even some villagers who had finished dinner came out to watch the excitement.

The village chief and several middle-aged men looked at the staff members, their gazes falling on a few female staff members, a hint of regret flashing in their eyes.

Just then, the village chief's phone rang—

The director, who had been keeping an eye on the village chief out of the corner of his eye, saw him answer the phone and his heart jumped into his throat, his palms sweating with nervousness.

He knew that A Chu had already called to have the trending topics removed and to suppress the popularity of related topics as much as possible.

But what if someone from Yunwu Village sees this online?

Although their production team has a lot of staff, and they are all young people, if they really fight with these villagers, they can't possibly escape unscathed!

Fortunately, the village chief seemed to have received a wrong number and hung up quickly.

The director secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone quickly got ready, and the director, not daring to delay for even a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's go down the mountain!"

A large group of people headed down the mountain.

The mountain path at night is indeed difficult to walk; you could easily slip and fall if you're not careful.

A Chu was being half-carried by Wen Zhiyu, while Zhuang Linghui and Hong Ruiliang walked behind them.

Zhuang Linghui was a chatterbox; she would either complain, talk to Hong Ruiliang, or call out to A Chu in front of her.

"This production team really knows how to mess with people! They suddenly made us come down the mountain in the middle of the night, which really caught us off guard!"

"Hey Chu, have you noticed the director seems a bit off? What's wrong with him? Did something happen?"

Achu turned to look at Zhuang Linghui, but afraid of startling her, she simply shook her head and said, "I don't know, maybe."

The three couples walked in the middle of the crowd, seemingly protected.

Actually, Achu wasn't very worried about their safety.

Because among these staff members, more than twenty were bodyguards who had been arranged in advance.

They left Cloud Mist Village overnight, just in case.

Anyway, she has achieved her goal.

That's right, Achu specially arranged for the guests to come to Yunwu Village.

Ilan, her personal maid, used to be from Cloud Mist Village.

Or rather, her mother was someone who had been trafficked to Yunwu Village.

Let's go back a month.

That evening, Ah Chu was looking at the proposal for this dating reality show, which offered her dozens of locations to choose from.

Ilan brought her some warm milk and reminded her to go to bed early.

Achu and Yilan get along very well and often chat.

She took the milk and casually started chatting with Yilan.

She asked Yilan where her hometown was.

Yilan paused for a moment before shaking her head and saying, "Miss, I don't know where my hometown is either."

Achu paused for a moment, then asked, "Don't you remember?"

Ilan: "No, I remember, but I don't know where my hometown, my birthplace is?"

Achu: "Where were you born?"

Yilan: "I was born in a small mountain village in Songcheng called Yunwu Village."

Ilan's childhood was unfortunate, whether in Cloud Village or elsewhere.

From a young age, she knew that her mother had been trafficked.

Her mother, too, never gave up on escaping.

Unlike her younger brother, Yilan was not brainwashed by her father and grandfather, and she was determined to help her mother leave.

She was very clever; after going to town twice with the villagers, she memorized the route.

That night, she and her mother quietly left while everyone was asleep.

But it still alarmed the villagers.

The villagers are very united. If they find that someone's wife has run away, the whole village will go out to chase after her.

Yilan and her mother ran for a very long time, not daring to stop for even a moment.

But she fell down, and her mother came back to help her up.

The flashlight beam had already shone on them.

A wave of despair washed over Yilan. She told her mother to leave her alone and ran away.

She ran out of the mountains to find her family.

But her mother looked at her with tears in her eyes and finally made a decision.

She kissed her hard on the face, her lips trembling.

"Xiao Lan, leave this place and never come back!"

Ilan reached out, but only managed to grab half of her mother's clothes.

The mother distracted the villagers, and to avoid being caught and tortured again, she jumped off the cliff.

That cliff is extremely high; if someone jumps off, they absolutely cannot survive.

Ilan hid in the grass and bit her lip until it bled to keep herself from crying out loud.

She left the mountains alone and begged her way to the hometown her mother had told her about.

She found her mother's family, but they thought her mother had eloped with her boyfriend and run away from home, and they didn't believe she had been trafficked.

They didn't even try to contact her.

The police conducted paternity tests on her and her mother's family, and they finally believed her.

They went to Songcheng and Yunwu Village, where they saw Yilan's father and his family, and gave them a good beating.

They also wanted to go to the cliff to find their mother's remains.

However, the cliff was too dangerous, and even professionals dared not go down.

The police also visited other homes in Yunwu Village, but each time they went there, the trafficked women were hidden away beforehand.

After several fruitless attempts, the matter was dropped.

Although Ilan's mother's family took her back, they didn't treat her well.

It's probably because seeing her reminds me of Ilan's mother.

Ilan didn't blame them; at least they didn't leave her in Cloud Village, and they gave her shelter from the wind and rain so she could go to school.

She was kicked out as soon as she came of age.

After hearing what Yilan said, Achu felt very heavy-hearted.

Even after all these years, Ilan clearly still can't let go of those things.

She said with self-reproach, "I am too weak to help those who have been trafficked to Yunwu Village."

Ah Chu suddenly had an idea.

"Then I'll help!"

Therefore, the second location for the romance variety show was set in Cloud Mist Village.

Although the road down the mountain was difficult, it seemed to be much faster than the road up.

Halfway there, they came face to face with fully armed police.

This time, a large number of police officers were deployed.

To prevent anyone from escaping or hiding in the mountains, helicopters were deployed to circle overhead.

Those who didn't know the situation were a little confused when they saw the police.

For example, Zhuang Linghui, and Nangong Xueyao.

It was only at this point that they learned that someone in Yunwu Village was suspected of trafficking women!

"Oh my god! No wonder I always felt that the man next door was looking at me strangely, making me feel really uncomfortable!"

Nangong Xueyao also thought of the family who had invited her to their home that afternoon, and felt very uncomfortable.

At the same time, I don't know how many times I've cursed the program's planning in my heart, what a terrible place they chose!

At 9 p.m., Achu and the others came down the mountain and got into the production crew's car and left.

The director finally breathed a sigh of relief.
