Chapter 292 Witness? Who?
Qiao Wanqing smiled when she heard her words.
"What else? She's not my partner."
"But aren't you in business together? What will you do if she leaves?"
"That's really interesting. You also said that if we do business together and she's not around, I'll be the only one to split the profits. How cool is that!" Then he waved his hand and ran away in big strides.
I deliberately took a detour and went to An's house. I looked around from front to back and found that there was no movement inside.
Feeling a little uneasy, he went straight to find Fang Haoran, but was told that he was on a mission.
Just then Qi Yulin came over and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
"Yulin, can you call Jingming for me?"
"He's on an emergency mission with his men in the next county. He's not here!"
"Then let me tell you..." Then she told him what she had heard from An Jiajia.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll find a way." Qi Yulin said and ran away.
At this time, An Lele had her mouth covered, her eyes blindfolded, and her hands and feet tied. As the car swayed, she felt a little carsick.
But she didn't dare to sleep and tried to break free, but to no avail.
The old man driving the cart was humming a little tune, and it was obvious that he was in a very happy mood.
It was unknown how long it took before the ox cart finally stopped.
An Lele was carried up, and after taking a few steps, she was thrown heavily onto the kang, which hurt her a lot.
The black cloth covering her eyes was suddenly pulled off, making her eyes feel uncomfortable. She closed her eyes for a while and then slowly opened them.
"Wife, hehe..." A drooling man bit his fingers and looked at An Lele with a smile.
Was she sold?
At this time, an old woman with white hair walked in from outside, holding a bowl of egg custard in her hand.
"Bangchui, untie your wife!" came the hoarse voice of the old woman.
Bangchui walked towards Anlele foolishly. She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the other party didn't give her any chance. He pulled her over and untied the rope.
Then he got off the kang and stood beside the old woman.
Seeing An Lele's face full of vigilance, the old woman tried her best to act kindly, "Nier, you must be hungry. Have a bowl of egg custard!"
Bangchui drooled at the sight of the egg custard, but he stood aside obediently without fighting or grabbing it.
"I'm not hungry, give it to him!" An Lele was not being too caring, she simply didn't dare to eat it.
The old woman also noticed her cautious look and handed the egg custard to Bangchui, "Son, eat it!"
"Mom, eat it!" Bangchui scooped a big spoonful and fed it to the old woman without saying anything.
They didn't continue to help her, and An Lele was free to come and go, of course, only in this yard.
Except for going to the toilet, the mallet is basically inseparable.
An Lele played a little game with him from time to time and found out some things.
After chatting with the old woman again, I found out that I was sold to their house for a high price of 500 yuan to be Bangchui's wife.
The old couple had seven sons before, but all of them died at birth. Only Bangchui survived, but he was mentally retarded, with an IQ of only four or five-year-old child.
The old couple usually work hard, making a living by farming, digging wild vegetables in the mountains, and hunting.
These five hundred yuan are all their family can afford.
The old woman told her that she would treat her well even for the sake of money, and only asked her to live a good life with her son.
An Lele didn't say anything after hearing this, because she didn't know if they would be willing to let her go if she gave them the money.
Another thing is that I don’t even know where I am, and it is unknown whether I can escape. What if I offend them and they become desperate?
More importantly, from what the old woman said, this village is engaged in human trafficking. If... I run into someone outside and get knocked unconscious and taken away, I'm afraid it's not as safe as this family.
After much thought, An Lele decided to wait and see.
I thought about how I drank the chicken soup that Lao An brought me last night and then fell asleep. Was Lao An’s doing?
I used to think that even a tiger wouldn’t eat its own cubs, but now it seems that may not be the case!
However, she took the initiative to take care of the meals and didn't dare let the old woman cook, mainly because she was afraid of being drugged!
Bangchui sat obediently by the side, making a fire.
I thought she would want to run away, or cry or something like that.
Unexpectedly, from the moment she entered the door, the man was in a very stable mood and even took the initiative to help with cooking, which touched the old woman a little.
On the other hand, Bangchui's father, Old Man Liu, would look at An Lele from time to time with an unclear expression.
That look was like being stared at by a poisonous snake, it was creepy.
So, even when going to the toilet, An Lele asked Bangchui to guard the door.
On the third day after An Lele disappeared, Fang Haoran and his team returned from their mission.
Qi Yulin also used all the connections he could, but failed to find the person. When he saw him come back, he directly told him about the situation.
Upon hearing this, Fang Haoran silently changed out of his military uniform and put on his own clothes.
"Haoran, say something. It's already so late, how come you still have the leisure to change clothes?" Qi Yulin was a little surprised when he saw his actions.
"I'm going out for a while!" Fang Haoran changed his clothes and walked out without changing his expression.
But Qi Yulin had known him for many years and obviously sensed something was wrong. He first went to find Qin Jingming. When the two of them rushed to the An family, they saw Fang Haoran pinching An Jiajia's neck with one hand and pulling her up along the wall. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a hint of bloodthirstiness in his eyes.
"Haoran...Brother..." At this moment, An Jiajia was dominated by the fear of being on the verge of death, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence to beg for mercy.
Stepmother An got up from the ground and tried to slap his arms to make him put down his daughter.
When he found that it didn't work, he started pinching and biting.
Fang Haoran didn't care about this at all. "If you don't tell me where you sent Lele, I will strangle her to death and then kill you!" Fang Haoran's voice was very cold.
Stepmother An trembled slightly involuntarily from the cold. She opened her mouth several times, but no sound came out, not knowing whether it was because she was scared or she didn't want to speak.
"You'd better tell us Lele's whereabouts. The reason we didn't call the police was to save the An family's face. Once we call the police, there will be no turning back." At this moment, Qiao Wanqing walked in from behind Qi Yulin and Qin Jingming.
When Stepmother An heard this, she was shocked. "Call the police?"
"I really don't know. I only know that Lele has made friends with a boy recently and likes him very much. Maybe she went out to play with him?" Stepmother An also knew that her words were not valid. The more she talked, the more uneasy she felt!
"Oh, Mom... save... me!" An Jiajia felt her neck tighten and she felt like she couldn't breathe. She tried to reach out to her mother, but she used all her strength and couldn't even touch the corner of her clothes.
"Aunt, if there were no witnesses, do you think I would be standing here?" Qiao Wanqing's firm tone made Stepmother An even more uneasy.
Witness?
who?
