At 8 p.m., police monitored several vehicles entering the village. The people inside were allowed in only after being verified by the village.

Those who enter their village are either acquaintances or introduced by acquaintances; they are all people from the nearby mountains.

"All of you, come out here."

All the women in the basement were dragged out, including the heavily pregnant Zheng Qianqian.

Several people hadn't left the cellar in a long time and were walking unsteadily.

Yang Fei also felt weak and powerless. These people must have added something to their dinner to make them too weak to walk.

The button camera on Yang Fei's body was a great help, as it clearly captured every face.

They were taken outside, where a woman was tied to a tree.

When Tong Yuexuan saw the woman, she exclaimed, "Tang Tang!"

On the first day she was brought to the village, Tang Tang was the one who brought them food. She didn't say anything at the time, but she recognized Tang Tang as her classmate who had disappeared from school for half a year.

The school and the police searched diligently, but Tang Tang still couldn't be found.

Unexpectedly, I met Tang Tang here; she was even heavily pregnant.

When Tang Tang brought them more food, she whispered that she would help them leave, as long as they called the police and let her get away from there.

But none of them expected that things were getting too tense lately, and that there was no further action being taken in the village. They also didn't expect that Tong Yuexuan would betray them directly in the cave.

She was beaten so badly she was barely alive. Her stomach was in so much pain that she probably couldn't save it. Well, that's fine too. Even if he were born, he wouldn't be loved by her.

She glared at Tong Yuexuan resentfully. Why did she have to reveal her name? She had been so careful; if it weren't for Tong Yuexuan, she wouldn't have been exposed.

“Her!” Tong Yuexuan looked at Tang Tang with a serious expression.

"Didn't you notice there's a surveillance camera in the cellar?" Yang Fei retorted. If she didn't shut her up now, who knew who she would implicate later.

"Shut up, all of you!"

The village chief shouted at them.

"Yang Fei, be careful." The police officer's voice came through the earpiece.

Yang Fei stood quietly in the corner.

Many women from the village were summoned, including Xu Linlin and her mother. Xu Linlin stood out among the group of women with sallow complexions.

Xu Linlin also spotted Yang Fei at a glance. She looked at her smugly, thinking that Yang Fei was no different from livestock in the market.

Following her daughter's gaze, Xu's mother saw Yang Fei and felt guilty towards her.

"I've gathered everyone here today to show you the consequences of betraying the village. Tang Tang, Wu Laosan's wife, will be punished by the village after the buyers finish purchasing the goods. She actually tried to help these goods leave."

Hearing the women in the village complaining, he wondered why they were allowed to leave while he had to live a miserable life in this place.

But many more women felt sorry for them, hoping that these young children would have a bright future and not suffer such humiliation here.

Buyers came up and picked and chose, automatically ignoring Zheng Qianqian. Some people, however, looked at Zheng Qianqian's belly and asked if it was a boy or a girl.

Zheng Qianqian was so frightened that she covered her stomach and quickly said it was a girl, at which point the buyer immediately lost interest.

Zheng Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. This was their family's boy, who would carry on the family line. Her husband had even thought of a name for him: Yaozu, meaning to bring glory to the family.

Someone walked up to Yang Fei, and upon seeing her beautiful face, their eyes widened: "How much is this girl?"

Xu Guangli stepped forward. According to the rules of their village, whoever brings back a woman is responsible for negotiating the terms, but the village demands a commission of one percent.

Xu Guang thought for a moment: "Eight hundred thousand."

"What?" the buyer exclaimed in shock. "Why don't you just rob it?"

"This is a top student from A University. I don't need to say anything about her looks. She's an only child! She only has one mother, but her family is very wealthy. They own a house and have savings. The house is even right next to A University. If you win over this woman and she has children, you'll be city dwellers. Asking for 800,000 yuan isn't expensive at all."

Hearing Xu Guang say this, many people were tempted. If what Xu Guang said was true, wouldn't the woman's property be theirs once her mother died?

"Eight hundred thousand is too much, Lao Xu, take a look..."

"A flat price of 800,000, no installments accepted, but I can wait a few days, and the price then..." Knowing the woman's value, there will be plenty of people willing to pay.

Although Yang Fei was coveted by others, she felt that 800,000 yuan made her temporarily safe. It seemed that no buyer today could afford 800,000 yuan in one go, and this man would not lower the price.

Soon, only Yang Fei and Zheng Qianqian were unwanted, while Tong Yuexuan was bought for 230,000 yuan.

Tong Yuexuan was at a loss; her planned escape had no chance of happening. She looked around in terror; they were surrounded by a group of people, each armed with a weapon.

Now that the deal was settled, the man who resembled the village chief said, "Then let's begin today's punishment."

After saying that, someone took an axe and walked towards the woman trapped in the tree.

The village chief introduced, "This is Wu Laosan's wife. She will have one leg cut off and will be forced to take a drug to make her mute. If the police notice our village, none of you will be able to leave for the rest of your lives."

The one with the axe was Wu Laosan. He was cursing and swearing, never expecting that this woman would plot against him behind his back. There are plenty of women in the village, even if they are just children.

"Bang!" The axe didn't land on Tang Tang. The man in front of him clutched his hand. Then, with another sound, the man who was about to cut off Tang Tang's leg immediately knelt down in front of Tang Tang.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

Special police officers in black uniforms rushed in from all directions.

They quickly surrounded the people. Several tried to resist, but were quickly suppressed and shot in the leg.

Yang Fei realized that they were using tranquilizer darts.

Yang Fei sensed someone behind her and smelled a strong odor of tobacco. It wasn't the police. She immediately took out the stun gun she had been hiding in her sleeve, spun it twice to activate it, and then pressed the button. When the person behind her touched her, she pressed the stun gun against their body without thinking.

Even though Yang Fei was calm, she was still a young girl. When she turned around, she was surprised to see Xu Guang.

The special police immediately subdued Xu Guang and took Yang Fei to a safe place.

Xiang Yingxia was relieved when she saw her daughter being taken to a safe place by the police. She covered her face and cried. After crying, she immediately went out to bring her daughter back herself.

Everyone understood Xiang Yingxia's feelings, and Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang stood up.

Lin Zhiluo got up and stretched: "The chairs in the director's room are not comfortable to sleep in at all. I need to go back to sleep."

Qi Zhiyang followed behind.

Zhu Yuanliang looked helplessly at Lin Zhiluo and Qi Zhiyang's hands: Shouldn't they put down the snacks?

Never mind, I'll just pretend I didn't see it.
