"Yes, I am from Jinling in Jiangnan." Chen Qian raised her head and looked at Ye Xingchen with a pleading expression: "Help me."
"How do you want me to help you?" Ye Xingchen stared at her. He felt that Chen Qian was not a bad person. The reason she was staying here must be because she was being held hostage.
"Take me away from here, or help me contact my family. Here are my family's contact details. My name is Chen Qian, and my father's name is Chen Changye." Chen Qian stuffed a piece of paper into Ye Xingchen's hand: "He is the chairman of Jinling Changye Group."
"Changye Heavy Industry?" Ye Xingchen instantly guessed her identity: "You're the daughter of Changye Heavy Industry?"
"It's me." Chen Qian was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Ye Xingchen to know her identity.
“My family has some business dealings with your side, so I’ve heard of your group.” Ye Xingchen didn’t hide anything from her: “Tell me about your situation.”
“I studied physics and I like to draw. A year ago, I was drugged while traveling in Southeast Asia. When I woke up, I was here.” Chen Qian trembled. “They beat me and forced me to ask my family for ransom.”
“My dad has spent tens of millions of yuan, but they just won’t let me go and refuse to negotiate…”
"Did you inflict the injury on your face yourself?" Ye Xingchen looked at the girl with some pity.
A girl as beautiful as her, once trafficked to a place like this, her fate is predictable.
If you want to preserve your innocence, there is only one way: disfigure yourself.
“Yes… Sanka tried to take advantage of me after drinking, so I smashed a glass and used it to slash my face like this.” Chen Qian lowered her head: “In his anger, he originally wanted to kill me, but I told him I was useful to him.”
"Making counterfeit money?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Yes, this is how I protect myself. It took me a year to solve all the problems during the printing process, which saved my life." Chen Qian nodded.
"Okay, I understand." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and said, "Why did you come to me? I'm a drug dealer."
“No, you’re not. You’re a good person, I can tell.” Chen Qian shook her head and looked up at Ye Xingchen: “You came here for a mission.”
"Alright, stop talking." Ye Xingchen quickly covered her mouth, saying with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "I've always heard that women's sixth sense is incredibly accurate, and it seems to be true today."
"So can you help me?" Chen Qian looked at Ye Xingchen with hopeful eyes: "I really have no other choice. If I don't find a way to escape, there will only be one outcome, which is... to die here."
“You won’t die here. Trust me, I have a way to get you out of here.” Ye Xingchen thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think Sangka really wants to do business with Liu Kun. Something will definitely happen tomorrow. Protect yourself tomorrow. If things really get chaotic, I’ll find a way to get you out of here.”
"Even if nothing unexpected happens tomorrow, I will come back to rescue you, believe me."
"Yes." Chen Qian nodded heavily. Although the idea of Ye Xingchen coming back to save her sounded like a fantasy, Ye Xingchen's words were very convincing, making her believe him involuntarily.
“Sangka really wasn’t serious about doing business this time. He wanted to keep Liu Kun around to make drugs for him,” Chen Qian said. “You all need to be careful when you eat tomorrow, there will be drugs in your food.”
"Understood." Ye Xingchen nodded.
"Who's here?" Just then, a voice came from the other side, and a night patrolman carrying a weapon walked over, waving a flashlight.
Chen Qian turned pale with fright. Sangka was extremely suspicious, and if she were discovered to be with Ye Xingchen, both of them would likely be in danger.
As the other party approached, Ye Xingchen casually flicked his wrist, sending a burst of energy straight towards the other party's face.
*Thud*... The other person's body stiffened violently as the soft leaf pierced through their neck. An expression of disbelief crossed their face before they collapsed straight down.
"Murder?" Chen Qian was immediately at a loss. If the body were discovered, it would be a disaster.
Ye Xingchen stepped forward, took out a small medicine bottle, poured out some powder, and sprinkled it on the patrolman.
With a hiss, white smoke rose, and in less than a moment, the corpse vanished completely, leaving only a little ash on the ground.
Ye Xingchen reached out and swept away the remaining dust with his true energy.
Chen Qian stared wide-eyed, dumbfounded. She really wondered if she had just seen a ghost.
"It's alright, it's just a little bit of corpse-dissolving powder. It can be made using chemical methods, don't worry." Ye Xingchen smiled.
"Who exactly are you?" Chen Qian composed herself and began to wonder about Ye Xingchen's identity.
"Don't ask about my identity, keep it a secret, and I guarantee you'll get home safely," Ye Xingchen said. "The question now is, can you trust me?"
"Besides you, who else can I trust?" Chen Qian's expression was somewhat bitter.
She suffered greatly here for over a year, and in order to avoid being violated, she disfigured her face.
If she hadn't printed banknotes in time that were indistinguishable from real ones and still had some use for Sanka, he would probably be dead by now.
So now she really has no other choice but to trust Ye Xingchen.
"Then don't trust anyone except me," Ye Xingchen said seriously.
"Okay, I don't trust anyone but you." Chen Qian gently bit her lip and nodded heavily.
"Alright, let's go back." Ye Xingchen said, "Don't let anyone find out. Protect yourself. I'll take you away from here tomorrow at noon."
Having bypassed all the blind spots in the surveillance, Ye Xingchen and she went back separately.
In the morning, everyone gathered in Liu Kun's room after receiving a notification from Liu Kun.
"Brother, Sanka has no intention of doing business with us at all. What should we do now?" Chen Ye loaded the magazine in his hand with bullets, checked the gun, and was ready.
“This guy has been expanding his business.” Liu Kun sneered, “He used to buy goods from us and then resell them to others to make a profit.”
“This method is no longer enough to satisfy him, so what he wants now is to keep me here and make me work for him.”
"Has he gone mad?" Chen Ye exclaimed in surprise. "Isn't he afraid that Jin Luocheng will cause him trouble?"
“This guy is a madman,” Liu Kun said coldly. “He’s willing to do anything for money, regardless of the cost or the consequences.”
"Then what do we do?" Chen Ye asked. "Are we just going to let him do whatever he wants?"
"Brother, let's go now and break through. These people can't stop us."
