The short man muttered to himself proudly, as if he had already seen a bright future beckoning to him.
The trafficker exchanged glances with his shifty companion, made some tacit gestures, and then, like a hungry wolf, he quietly followed the unsuspecting Qin Ruanruan and sneaked onto the train.
The train looked very old and the traces of time were clearly visible. It was like an old cow, moving slowly and with difficulty, making clanging sounds.
The sound drifted back and forth in the long and narrow carriage, as if it were an ominous omen, suggesting that a terrible storm was about to come.
Qin Runrun, who was unaware of the situation, was secretly delighted in her heart. She felt that she was lucky to have escaped the disaster.
She walked hurriedly and anxiously through the crowded and chaotic lanes, and walked quickly towards the soft sleeper compartment that Qin Wan had asked someone to help her buy.
At this moment, she only wanted to reach her destination quickly and have a good rest. She was completely unaware that there were two pairs of greedy eyes behind her, like two cold rays of light, locking onto her petite figure.
Qin Runrun slowly pushed open the door of the soft sleeper compartment with a slightly tired look, her heavy footsteps seemed to carry the toil of her journey.
However, before she could catch her breath and adjust herself, a wave of complaints came at her like a torrential downpour.
"You damned little girl! Why did you take so long to come back? I think you might as well just die out there, so we don't have to worry about you all day long!"
Then, Qin's mother's vulgar and mean face appeared in Qin Ruanruan's sight, and every word she said was like a sharp dagger, ruthlessly stabbing Qin Ruanruan's heart.
Qin Runrun's originally joyful mood was extinguished into ashes in an instant, as if a basin of ice-cold water was poured over her head.
She widened her clear eyes and looked at her adoptive mother in disbelief at the way she spoke to her so harshly. It was as if a blazing fire suddenly rose in her heart.
Just now, she had experienced a thrilling experience that almost frightened her to death. She thought that returning to her mother would give her some warmth and care, but she did not expect to be greeted with such a cold and ruthless scolding.
This old woman couldn't tell right from wrong, and her mouth was filled with endless complaints and scolding. It was really hard to like her. No wonder even her own daughter felt disgusted with her.
Although her heart was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction towards Qin's mother, Qin Ruanruan still suppressed her anger and did not dare to talk back to her easily.
After all, she is not his biological mother. If he cannot coax her with kind words and obey her, if he angers her one day and she kicks him out without mercy, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Now I don't have a stable job to support myself, nor am I married to find support. If I really break up with this old woman, then I'm afraid the only miserable fate waiting for me is to end up on the streets and homeless.
Thinking of this, Qin Runrun felt bitter in her heart and her eyes turned red involuntarily, but she knew that she could not show weakness at this moment, so she bit her pink lips tightly to prevent the tears from falling.
The grievances and unwillingness surged into her heart like a surging tide, but she could only endure it and swallow it all back into her stomach.
Then, Qin Runrun quickly adjusted her mood and tried to force a sweet smile, as if she was really just an innocent, naive little white rabbit.
She said to her mother in a gentle voice:
"Mom, I just felt too stuffy here, so I went out for a walk to get some fresh air. Look, the train is about to leave, and I didn't want to be late for the trip, so I hurried back!"
In fact, not long ago, Qin Ruanruan had experienced a thrilling experience—she was almost abducted by human traffickers! Due to the extreme shock, she was a little depressed and her body was shaking slightly.
However, faced with her mother's concerned inquiries, she still cheered up and reluctantly talked with Qin's mother for a while.
Finally, I couldn't hold on any longer, so I just lay down, closed my eyes and prepared to fall asleep.
On the other side, the leader of the human trafficking gang was standing there with a menacing look.
The man was as tall as a small hill, and he exuded a terrifying aura. His face was even more ferocious, especially the long scar on his left cheek, which looked like an ugly centipede, making it particularly eye-catching.
It is said that this scar was left when he had a conflict with someone during an illegal transaction many years ago.
Normally, such a small matter wouldn't require his personal involvement. But when he received news from his subordinates that the skinny monkey had found a "prey" that was as beautiful as a fairy, his greed was instantly ignited, and without hesitation he decided to come and investigate in person.
So, the villain named Liu Bazi waited outside the door of the designated box early based on the information provided by Shouhou.
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, almost two hours had passed, but he still didn't see the legendary beautiful woman appear.
Gradually, Liu Bazi began to become anxious and restless...
So, he once again found the thin, plain-looking man, walked up to him quickly, and asked with a suspicious look on his face:
"Skinny monkey, where is the fat sheep you mentioned hiding?"
The man called Skinny Monkey was the human trafficker who had just flirted with Qin Ruanruan. At this moment, his face was filled with a flattering smile as he nodded and humbly replied:
"Boss, it's in the soft sleeper compartment over there!"
Liu Bazi frowned, his face showing displeasure, and complained:
"I've been waiting here for nearly two hours, but I haven't seen any young woman come out of that door. Could it be that you were mistaking your target?"
Faced with doubts, the skinny monkey quickly shook his head and waved his hands, vowing:
"That's absolutely impossible, Boss! My eyes are incredibly sharp, so when have they ever failed me? Don't worry! How about this, Boss? I'll personally accompany you to check it out this time."
As he said this, he volunteered to go to the front and lead the way.
In this way, under the guidance of Shouhou, Liu Bazi and others traveled all the way and finally arrived at the door of the soft sleeper compartment where Qin Ruanruan was.
It was a coincidence, as if God had blessed them, that just when they arrived, the door of the soft sleeper compartment was suddenly pushed open slowly.
Then, a graceful figure flashed out. Upon closer inspection, it was Qin Ruanruan.
