Qiu Mang felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and finally, she completely lost consciousness.
Tian Jingjing nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Han Bing. Han Bing wasn't in much better shape; her face was pale, and she was pinching her thigh, trying to stay awake.
She tried to stand up, but she couldn't muster any strength. She opened her mouth with difficulty, "I didn't drink this tea, why..."
Tian Jingjing pointed to the still-burnt incense on the windowsill, her face full of triumph. "Han Bing, you didn't expect this, did you? This thing was bought on the black market overseas, so it's colorless and odorless. Only people who are particularly sensitive to smells can detect it."
Han Bing forced herself to sit up straight, trying to reach for her phone.
Tian Jingjing crossed her arms. "Don't waste your time. The signal here is blocked. You can't make any calls."
"What...what do you want to do?" Han Bing asked weakly.
"Han Bing, to be honest, the mission I initially received was only Qiu Mang. You weren't part of my plan. I can only say that God saw how badly you had hurt me, so He gave me a chance. Anyway, whether I arrest one or two, it's all the same. I might as well take this opportunity to get revenge!"
As Tian Jingjing spoke, she touched the necklace on her wrist, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
"It's such a pity that you, the dignified young lady of the Han family, will disappear from Guangcheng from now on! However, you are not innocent. If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for not doing more good deeds in the past and provoking me!"
As Tian Jingjing spoke, she gently patted Han Bing's face.
Han Bing's legs were already bruised from being pinched. She shook her head to keep herself alert. "Where are you taking us?"
Tian Jingjing sneered, "Han Bing, I didn't expect you to be so inquisitive. But since you're almost finished, I might as well tell you. I heard from them that you're going to be sold to..."
With a "thump".
Before Tian Jingjing could finish speaking, Han Bing collapsed, unable to support herself any longer.
"You can't even hold on? I thought you were so capable!" Tian Jingjing sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop owner jumped up and rushed over.
At the same time, the door of the black van outside was suddenly flung open, and several burly men filed out, rushing into the store. The aura emanating from them instantly made the air heavy.
"Didn't you say there was only one woman?"
One of the men, with a buzz cut, frowned, his eyes scanning the store warily, his tone full of doubt.
Tian Jingjing's eyes darted around in a panic, and she quickly explained with a forced smile, "What difference does it make if there's one more or one less? They're all going to serve men anyway. Look at these two women, one is bright and beautiful, the other is gentle and graceful, and their figures are curvaceous—they're truly top-quality goods! It would be a huge loss not to take them!"
Another man wearing sunglasses stepped forward, squinted and carefully examined Qiu Mang and Han Bing, then nodded with satisfaction: "They are indeed rare beauties, take them both with you!"
"But the manager repeatedly instructed us that we should only arrest those who are helpless and have no family to care for them. If we arrest a girl from a respectable family with connections, we'll be in big trouble!" A man with a scar on his face looked worried, his brows furrowed into a deep frown.
"Hey, why does this woman look so familiar? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before!"
The speaker was the shop owner. He stroked his chin, his eyes fixed on Han Bing. He had lived in Guangcheng for many years and vaguely felt that Han Bing's face overlapped with a certain image in the news, but he had never been interested in gossip about the wealthy, so he couldn't remember.
"No way! Don't get us into this mess! She's not some rich girl!" The man in sunglasses said, his voice tinged with nervousness.
Fearing her plan would fall through, Tian Jingjing quickly patted her chest and assured them, "No, no! They are all ordinary girls who dropped out of school early and are struggling to make a living in society. I've inquired about them carefully, there's absolutely no problem!"
"Are you sure?" The man with the buzz cut stared at her intently, his eyes sharp.
Tian Jingjing forced a smile that looked more like a grimace, pointed to herself, and said, "Look at me, I'm just an ordinary citizen. How could I possibly have the chance to meet any rich young lady? Let alone get her to go out with me, right?"
“That makes sense. Let’s get them in the car!” The man with the buzz cut waved his hand, and several men immediately stepped forward and roughly carried Qiu Mang and Han Bing out of the store.
Tian Jingjing followed the car with a smug look on her face. Just as she was about to wave goodbye, her hands were suddenly twisted behind her back, and the cold hemp rope instantly cut into her flesh.
Her eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "What are you doing? I'm Miss Xu's woman! If you dare touch me, you'll be sorry!"
"I'm sorry, this is exactly what Miss Xu wants. Since you're on her side, you'd better cooperate."
The man sneered, and with a forceful tug, Tian Jingjing was thrown heavily into the car, her face contorted in pain.
"I don't believe it! Miss Xu promised me that as long as I complete the task, she would give me a large sum of money to ensure I would live a life of comfort for the rest of my days!" Tian Jingjing shouted hoarsely.
The man got into the driver's seat and started the car: "Naive! In our line of work, there's no turning back. Knowing so many secrets, you think you can get away unscathed?"
Tian Jingjing watched in horror as the scenery outside the car window rushed past, a sense of despair overwhelming her like a tidal wave.
The next morning, as dawn broke.
A black minivan slowly drove into Huangtu Village along the winding mountain road.
At the entrance of the farm, the security guard jogged over, bowing and scraping, with a fawning smile on his face: "Boss, here to deliver pig feed again?"
The driver gave a soft "hmm," and the car drove through the pigsty and chicken coop filled with the smell of livestock, heading straight into the backyard.
At the warehouse entrance, the driver skillfully entered the password and scanned his face, and the heavy iron gate slowly opened.
After the car drove in, the gate quickly closed again, as if completely shutting out the light and noise from the outside world.
Several men roughly dragged Han Bing and Qiu Mang out of the car. Tian Jingjing huddled in a corner, her eyes filled with fear, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
As the man walked towards her, she desperately twisted her body, trying to escape.
The man frowned and cursed when he saw the yellow liquid flowing from her body, "Damn it! The stench of urine is unbearable, I have to wash the car again!"
With that, he grabbed her and threw her into the elevator like trash.
The elevator buttons were all for downward floors, and the elevator cards they held indicated their destination was the eerie sixth basement level.
At the same time, inside the Han family villa.
When Han Feng woke up early in the morning, his right eyelid kept twitching, as if some ominous premonition was surging in his heart.
