Sister Hong appeared with Shuanzi.
Shuanzi remained unusually silent. He stood behind Sister Hong with a cold face and silently pulled out a long knife from the backpack behind him.
The threat was palpable.
Qi Ye's heart sank. He shielded Shen Fenghua behind him and asked, "You two have been following us all this way. What exactly do you want?"
"Oh," Sister Hong chuckled, "I didn't expect you to be so clever, managing to discover that we've been watching you the whole way."
Qi Ye remained silent, but Sister Hong's expression suddenly changed drastically, her face contorted with rage. "Enough with the nonsense, hurry up and hand over the woman behind you, or you two will both be dead here tonight."
"What if we don't?"
Shuanzi stepped forward in silence, the blade gleaming coldly in the darkness.
This is a silent threat.
Sister Hong snorted coldly, "See? If I were you, I'd be smart and obediently walk out. That way, you can save your man's life. Of course, if you're not smart..."
Shen Fenghua wasn't going to listen to her nonsense.
Just keep hiding.
Only a fool would blindly rush forward.
However, she was still quite curious. Shen Fenghua asked herself, she had never done anything wrong in her life, so why did she attract enemies?
"By the way, when did I offend you guys?" Shen Fenghua was too curious. She quietly peeked out from behind Qi Ye, her dark eyes filled with seriousness.
It wasn't a provocation, just curiosity.
Hongjie was so angry at the sight of the loving couple opposite her that she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to dust.
They're both women, so why do they lead such drastically different lives?
If she hadn't been quick-witted and found another way to survive, she probably would have been beaten to death by that heartless man long ago.
Just thinking about it makes Sister Hong feel chilled.
"Sister Hong?"
Shuanzi saw that Sister Hong had clenched her fists and was still a little confused.
In fact, when the four of them were facing off here, he felt that the whole thing was strange from top to bottom.
Logically speaking, human traffickers should be more likely to engage in petty theft. Openly blocking the road like this is something only robbers would do, right?
Shuanzi didn't understand, after all, he was a newcomer, but Sister Hong did.
She said she didn't know how many cannons she had fired.
Thinking of Sister Hong's sharp tongue, Shuanzi swallowed all his questions, no matter how many they were.
Let's keep quiet for now.
The more you say, the more mistakes you make; the less you say, the better.
"Shut up," Sister Hong said coldly, cursing Shuanzi, "Who asked you to speak?"
Seeing the two about to have a fight, Shen Fenghua quietly tugged at Qi Ye's clothes, "I feel like they're fighting amongst themselves."
"It's not just a possibility, it's an internal conflict."
Qi Ye watched coldly. Although the two came out together, he was sure that the one who played the leading role was the unassuming Sister Hong.
In other words, arresting Sister Hong is far more valuable than arresting that simpleton carrying a knife.
"I can't give you the person. If you know what's good for you, leave now and get as far away as possible, and I'll pretend I know nothing. Otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Sister Hong interrupted Qi Ye's long-winded speech, cursing, "Damn it, you look like a man, but you do things more meticulously than a woman. In situations like this, people either fight back or back down, but you, instead, are giving me a long lecture?"
Even Sister Hong found it somewhat unbelievable when she said this.
Shuanzi was also stunned for a moment, staring intently at Sister Hong as she began to curse, and then, the next second, "Bang!"
A bullet flew out and hit Sister Hong right behind her knee.
Her voice faltered as she was thrown forward two steps by the force of the impact, before collapsing heavily to the ground.
Shuanzi, standing nearby, was stunned by the sight of the blood spreading across her legs.
What... what exactly is going on?
"Don't move!" Qi Ye looked at Shuanzi. "Put down the knife in your hand, or the next time it will hit you between the eyebrows."
Shuanzi slumped his shoulders in dejection, dropped the large knife in his hand, and it made a crisp cracking sound when it hit the ground.
A group of people quickly surrounded them from behind, led by Xu Chendong.
He glanced at Qi Ye, then gestured for someone to remove the dazed Shuanzi. He then gave Hong Jie a focused look and said, "Take him away!"
The crowd came quickly and left quickly.
Xu Chendong took off his gloves, glanced at Qi Ye, then at Shen Fenghua, who was wrapped up like a dumpling, and couldn't help but laugh.
"You little brat..."
Qi Ye frowned. "What did you just do?"
Moreover, even if they were to take action, they shouldn't have targeted a woman. After all, she was defenseless, and there was someone standing next to her holding a machete. Shouldn't it have been obvious who they should have attacked?
"Hey!" Xu Chendong scratched his head. "Let's go, it's cold outside, let's talk as we walk."
The two of them had clearly never been to this area before; otherwise, they would have become suspicious when they realized they were on the wrong path.
As the three walked, Xu Chendong sighed, "Do you still remember Wang Xingda?"
Wang Xingda, who wasn't even qualified for labor reform but was directly fed iron peanuts and entered the next cycle of reincarnation?
The two of them remembered it all too well.
He glanced at Qi Ye sideways, "Do you know who the first person he sold to was?"
Shen Fenghua thought for a moment, and suddenly a bold idea popped into her head, "Could it be my unlucky sister?"
Xu Chendong gave Shen Fenghua a thumbs-up, saying she was a promising young woman, and said, "That's her."
"It was she who led Wang Xingda down this path of no return."
As for the one next to him, he looks like a newbie, still inexperienced. Once we catch this leader, the rest of the men will be no match for him.
And the facts have proven that Xu Chendong's idea was completely correct.
He sighed, "You two accidentally helped a lot this time. You have no idea how long they've been holding onto Sister Hong over there."
It's quite a sad story. Back in her hometown, Sister Hong was considered a cunning and shrewd person. Who would have thought that she would suddenly act like she'd lost her mind and come to this small county town to commit a crime?
Moreover, he even folded himself into the trap.
"Alright, just wait and see, this time the higher-ups will definitely give us a reward."
Shen Fenghua trembled. "My goodness, it's really dangerous to be out in the world."
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore," Qi Ye interrupted Xu Chendong when he saw that Shen Fenghua's expression wasn't good, and changed the subject, "Let's go, it's almost time to eat, why don't you come to my house for a meal?"
Xu Chendong's eyes lit up instantly at the mention of food.
"Let's go, what are we waiting for?"
They arrived at the Shen family's courtyard.
Pushing open the door, Xu Chendong's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw the little old man standing in the middle of the courtyard. "My grandpa?"
