Chapter 88

After Tan Li changed her clothes and came out, the others were discussing whether to go out and seek the police's protection directly, or wait here for rescue. Those who

wanted to stay where they were and wait for rescue said: The police have already arrived, and they just need to wait to be rescued, and don't make any unnecessary movements, so as not to disrupt the police's operation.

Those who wanted to go out directly said: If we stay where we are, what if we are taken hostage by the villagers?

The police have arrived, so everyone is safe, but if the villagers and traffickers are desperate and block the door of the house, if something really happens, there will be nowhere to escape.

If one or two people are injured, it will be a big deal.

Both sides hold their own opinions, and no one can convince the other.

Tan Li moved her ears and listened to the noise outside for a while. Seeing that the two sides had not yet decided the winner, she couldn't help but speak, "Those who want to stay can stay, and those who want to leave can leave, right?"

"It just so happens that there are so many equipments here, and those who stay can still take care of them."

Tan Li looked around in confusion, "Why are you so entangled about such a small matter?"

"Why don't you make a louder noise so that everyone outside can hear it?"

In an instant, the world was quiet.

It's not that Tan Li's words made sense and convinced everyone present, but...

her last sentence was quite intimidating.

Tan Li was not interested in other people's choices. She walked closer to Nizi and touched her head, "You wait in the room."

Nizi nodded her head obediently.

Tan Li continued, "I'll go out and take a look."

Everyone was shocked.

"Miss Tan..."

someone's voice rang out from the corner, but before she finished, it was drowned out by other voices -

Tan Xinman and Tong Jing said in unison, "I'll go with you!"

Ying Heng also frowned, "Me too."

He said this very firmly, as if he was not asking for Tan Li's opinion at all.

Tan Li glanced at Ying Heng's eyes, which seemed to be abandoned if he was not firm enough, and said nonchalantly, "It's up to you."

Tan Xinman and Tong Jing's eyes lit up, but Ying Heng's brows became darker and darker.

Something is wrong...

There must be something wrong...

Tan Li saw him lowering his eyes in thought, smiled helplessly, and touched his head as if touching a girl's head to comfort him, "Thinking too much will make you age quickly."

Ying Heng:...

There were vague looks of gossiping around him, he calmly grabbed Tan Li's wrist, slightly exerted force on his hand, "What are you going out for?"

Tan Li smiled, "I've been in this room for almost 2 hours, I'm going to be suffocated to death."

Because of this reason?

Others present couldn't help but feel that Tan Li, the daughter of a wealthy family, was a little willful.

If she went out, would the villagers notice something wrong...

Thinking of this, someone wanted to step forward to persuade him.

But before he could organize his words, Tan Li had already taken a step and opened the door.

"Creaky--"

The wooden door was fine just now, but now something went wrong and it made a sound like wood grinding against each other, adding a sense of weirdness to the quiet environment.

Tan Li ignored the heads that quickly retracted outside and walked out of the door leisurely.

Tan Xinman and Tong Jing also hurried to follow, but Ying Heng was a little slow because he was sitting in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving, and the wheel was stuck on the door sill.

He subconsciously looked at Tan Li, the pink back was walking out step by step, the high ponytail behind her head bounced, and she didn't seem to want to look back at the people behind her.

Ying Heng felt a little flustered for some reason.

He deliberately increased the speed of the wheelchair in his hands, but he didn't know whether the wheel and the door sill were really stuck, or Ying Heng was too anxious and didn't operate it properly. Not only did he fail to catch up with Tan Li, but the distance between them became larger.

"Tan Li--"

Ying Heng wanted to call Tan Li, but before he finished speaking, a group of people appeared at the gate of the yard.

The old woman in the lead was leaning on her crutches with a fake smile, "Where are you going, guests?" "

Why?" Tan Li gave a condescending smile, "Can't we just go shopping?"

"Why not?" The old woman smiled and narrowed her eyes, and the hands of several young men holding farm tools behind her also tightened.

Tan Li seemed not to see it. "Then why are you blocking the road?"

She became more arrogant. "Haven't you heard that a good dog doesn't block the road?"

Suddenly, the wind was blowing stronger.

The people who were still hiding in the house wanted to hold Tan Li's mouth and drag her back. The police were at the foot of the mountain and they were about to be rescued. No one wanted to cause trouble.

Even Tan Xinman and Tong Jing who followed Tan Li were puzzled and secretly raised their eyes to glance at her.

Tan Li's eyes that made her look like she was the only one in the world and everyone here was garbage successfully annoyed the villagers. They were about to spit fire in their eyes.

The strong man who had been following the old woman looked Tan Li up and down.

The fair skin looked as if it could be blown away, the pink hair was youthful and beautiful, the figure was slender and bright, and most importantly - it

exuded a kind of beauty that was ignorant of the darkness of the world and foolishly complacent.

It was just what some people liked.

The sturdy man rolled his eyes and slowly pulled out his hand that had been in his trouser pocket.

Everyone present had different thoughts. Tan Li secretly took in the calculations in everyone's eyes, and the curve of her mouth became more and more raised.

"Little girl, there are some things you can't say casually." The old woman pressed the cane in her hand heavily to the ground, making a dull sound.

Tan Li put her hands around her chest, raised her head, and looked at people with her nose, "How dare you do anything to me?"

It happened so quickly.

The sturdy man standing next to the old woman reached out his hand, grabbed Tan Li's wrist, and pulled her towards him.

Tan Xinman and Tong Jing were startled.

"Sister!"

"Boss!"

They didn't expect the other party to really dare to attack, and they hurriedly reached out to grab Tan Li to prevent her from being taken away. However, the moment they were stunned, the outcome was already determined.

The corner of Tan Li's clothes passed by their hands, and their grasping hands were empty.

"It hurts!" Tan Li was so angry that she jumped up and down, "Do you know who I am? Let me go!"

The sturdy man gently locked Tan Li in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Who are you from?"

Tan Li's face turned green with malice, and she pushed the sturdy man's chest hard, trying to get away from him, "Humph! No matter who I am from, the police are already at the foot of the mountain! If you know what's good for you, let me go! Otherwise, I will put you all in jail!"

Tan Li looked like she was spoiled by her family, and she spoke without thinking.

Her words also changed the faces of everyone present.

The people hiding in the house were scared to death by her words.

Why doesn't this rich lady look at the situation and talk nonsense!

The sturdy man holding her had a gloomy face.

At this moment, he was not in the mood to tease Tan Li. He just quickly gave a look to his younger brother beside him. After receiving his instruction, the younger brother ran out of the crowd in a flash.

Tan Li didn't care about the footsteps in the distance, but continued to fan the flames, "Humph! Are you scared? If you are scared, let me go quickly! Otherwise, you will suffer later!"

Everyone in the room: Ancestor, please don't say that!

Ying Heng's wheelchair finally crossed the threshold. He approached Tan Li and shouted, "Let her go, I will let you leave safely."

Tan Li looked up at Ying Heng.

But Ying Heng was fully focused on the sturdy man holding Tan Li at this time, and did not receive the deep meaning in Tan Li's eyes at all.

Tan Xinman and Tong Jing were just like him, thinking that the look Tan Li gave him was one of fear.

Tan Li: ...So, it's really not easy to find teammates that suit your heart.

It's another day when I miss everyone who used to cooperate with me.

Tan Li squeezed out two tears, mourning her deceased teammates while stiffening her neck, "Ah Heng, don't beg them! I don't think they dare to do anything to me!"

"Where are the police? Let them all come up quickly!"

Her fearful and stubborn look gave the strong man an idea.

He originally held Tan Li in his arms, but changed his action at this time, and pinched Tan Li's neck with his right hand, "Shut up if you don't want to die."

"...Ahem!" Tan Li seemed to instinctively hold the big hand on her neck, trying to get it off her neck.

Ying Heng saw tears oozing from the corners of Tan Li's eyes, and his voice was so cold that it sounded murderous, "Let her go! I'll be your hostage!"

The sturdy man sneered.

He didn't wait for the younger brother who had just gone to investigate the situation to come back, and directly pinched Tan Li and quickly retreated.

"If you want this woman to live, don't follow her!" He could see that the man in the wheelchair dared to say that he would let them leave safely if they let Tan Li go, which meant that there was some background behind him.

In this case, Tan Li must not be let go.

Such a good hostage, weak, and valued by others, with her in hand, even if the police really chased, there is no need to worry about not being able to escape.

As for Ying Heng's exchange with Tan Li as a hostage, the sturdy man didn't even consider it.

Not to mention the size difference between men and women, it would be troublesome for a lame man to be

a hostage. Tan Li, who was being strangled and dragged away, seemed unable to resist at all. She didn't even have the strength to struggle, and was taken away like that

. Seeing Tan Li being taken away, Ying Heng became more and more anxious. He wanted to catch up, but the wheelchair staggered because of the stones on the road. Ying Heng was unstable for a moment and almost fell out.

He clenched his fists tightly on his legs, and there were dark waves in his eyes.

**

When Tan Li was taken to the off-road vehicle hidden in the back mountain, he could vaguely hear the sound of commotion in the wind.

I guess the police have arrived.

The strong man dragged Tan Li into the back compartment. There were several people in the car. When they saw them get in, they immediately closed the door.

There was a sunshade between the back and front seats, and the surrounding windows were also drawn, making the rear compartment look particularly dark.

The accelerator sounded, and the wheels broke the dead branches.

"This woman?" someone said in the dark.

The next second, Tan Li felt someone holding a wet cloth to cover her nose and mouth -

it should be ether.

Tan Li thought about it, struggled a few times, and as the other party wished, her neck tilted and closed her eyes.

"Why did you bring this woman with you?"

"This woman seems to have some status and background. If we are caught, we can use her as a hostage."

"If she really has status and background, they will look for her in a big way if she is missing. Don't cause trouble."

"...Look at her appearance. She is a top-grade product."

Rough fingers pinched Tan Li's chin, as if showing Tan Li's face to others.

"...Not bad, but what if..."

"What are you afraid of? Those useless cops can still catch us? The more this kind of lady is, the higher the price she will be sold at the underground market!"

"...We still have to confirm it with the boss, so as not to kidnap someone who shouldn't be kidnapped."

"Okay, if it really doesn't work, we can just throw her into the mountains when she gets dizzy. Who can find her?"

The two of them discussed the countermeasures and calmed down.

Tan Li remained dazed and motionless: If they could take her directly to the base camp, they would be very good people.
