The mute girl nodded repeatedly, her face filled with grief.
Seeing her expression, Ji Minxiu frowned slightly and said, "This child belonged to the person you love, but they aborted it?"
Upon hearing this, the mute girl shed even more tears.
She met someone she liked before she was violated, and thought that getting pregnant quickly would prevent her from being humiliated.
She genuinely longed for that child.
However, in order to better control her, those people forced her to abort her child.
I'm worried that they might take risks for their children and do things that would harm the workshop.
"He's not even human!"
Hearing this, the group was furious.
Yun Zhourong's eyes reddened with heartache. Holding the mute girl's hand, she looked at Yun Hongcheng and said, "Father, we must help them. We must rescue them all."
“I know that people must be saved, but this illegal workshop has been able to exist for so long, there must be someone backing it up. If we can’t solve the problem at its root, it will probably come back to life very soon.”
Yun Hongcheng frowned and said, "If you want to do it, you have to do it in one strike to kill."
"This kind of thing isn't honorable, and it'll be hard to find the person behind it," Song Shuyi said with some difficulty.
"Ahem, I've done some calculations, and the person behind this is the Wang family, a powerful local clan in Yazhou Ridge." Ji Minxiu said with a light cough.
"That's great! With a clue, it will be much easier to find leads."
Yun Hongcheng was overjoyed, then stroked his chin and pondered, "In my opinion, it would be better to go back to the prefect first, and come to rescue people when we have enough manpower."
“Distant water can hardly quench a nearby fire. I remember there are troops stationed near Yazhou Ridge. We can ask them for help,” Ji Minxiu said.
"Those garrison troops seem to have stopped working because the imperial court hasn't provided them with supplies for a long time," Song Shuyi said in a low voice.
"In that case, it's a small problem if we just offer a large reward."
Ji Minxiu said casually, "If everyone goes, it might alert the enemy. Let Miss Yun go with me."
"Okay, Ruanruan, then everything is in your hands." Yun Hongcheng thought for a moment and finally agreed.
As the person in charge, he was bound to be the one being watched the most closely, and it would be easy for him to be discovered if he left.
Yun Zhourong is, after all, a young girl and won't attract much attention. If she stays indoors and doesn't go out, the other party probably won't care too much.
"Yes, I will definitely bring back reinforcements."
Yun Zhourong nodded affirmatively, then took the mute girl's hand and said, "Then we're leaving. Wait for my good news; I will definitely take you out of this sea of suffering."
"Mmm..." Upon hearing this, the mute girl was so grateful that she was about to kneel down again.
However, Yun Zhourong helped her up, saying, "Alright, no need for formalities, I'm leaving."
After saying that, she left with Ji Minxiu.
"stop!"
They had barely reached the door when they were seized by Third Master's men. "Who are you people? What do you want?"
"Who are you? What business is it of yours where we go?"
Stopped, Yun Zhourong lowered her head nervously, while Ji Minxiu remained calm and composed.
At this moment, he was disguised, wearing a hood and a short beard, which, combined with his tall and muscular physique, gave people an extremely powerful sense of oppression.
The thugs, who had been so arrogant, instantly lost their edge after meeting his gaze.
He lowered his voice involuntarily, "We are the men of the Third Master of the Wang family. There are concubines who escaped from the mansion in this inn, and we are here to guard them. All you need is for us to see this young lady's hands."
If it were anyone else, they would definitely interrogate them thoroughly.
But when facing Ji Minxiu, a deep-seated fear suddenly arose, especially from those eyes, which made you feel as if you were facing a ferocious cheetah, and you would lose your life if you were not careful.
"So it's the Third Master of the Wang family. Of course, we should give him face."
Upon hearing this, Ji Minxiu restrained his imposing manner and nodded slightly to Yun Zhourong, "Hongxiu, let everyone take a look at your hands."
"yes."
Yun Zhourong deliberately softened her voice and then reached out her hand.
These days, thanks to Ji Minxiu's hand cream and gloves, her hands have become smooth and soft, clearly the hands of someone who has lived a life of luxury.
The thug only needed one glance to determine that this was definitely not a mute girl.
However, to avoid any mistakes, the thug still said, "Please look up so I can take a look, young lady."
Knowing she couldn't avoid it, Yun Zhourong obediently raised her head.
The young girl had rosy cheeks and an exquisite appearance. Although she had a pair of alluring peach blossom eyes, her gaze was clear and watery.
Look over here, just one glance and your heart will melt.
"Plop..."
The moment she looked up, Yun Zhourong clearly heard the sound of the people in front of her swallowing.
She quickly lowered her head again.
Before she came out, Ji Minxiu naturally helped her disguise herself.
She originally wanted to disguise herself as a servant, but Ji Minxiu refused, saying that it would be easy for a woman to be recognized when dressed as a man.
So, they still dressed her in women's clothing, but used modern makeup techniques to give her a makeover.
When the makeup was finished, not only did Yun Zhourong not recognize herself, but Yun Hongcheng and the others were so shocked that their eyes almost popped out.
This isn't makeup; it's the legendary art of disguise!
Not only has her eye shape changed, but her nose bridge has also become higher, and her face shape and overall appearance have been transformed.
She used to be beautiful, but she had a refined and otherworldly air about her. Now, with this face, she's practically a seductive enchantress.
Even Yun Zhourong herself couldn't take her eyes off her, unable to believe that it was actually her.
Moreover, none of Third Master's thugs had ever really looked at her face properly, so it was perfectly normal that they couldn't recognize her.
"So, is this the person you're looking for?" Ji Minxiu asked in a deep voice.
"Ah, no...no, no!"
At this moment, the thugs finally snapped out of their daze after being struck by Yun Zhourong's beauty and quickly stepped back, saying, "It's confirmed, please, you two."
"Um."
Ji Minxiu nodded slightly and slowly walked outside.
Yun Zhourong lowered her head and hurried to catch up, but her heart was pounding faster and faster. Despite the cold weather, her back was covered in a fine layer of sweat from nervousness.
"stop."
Just as they were about to walk away, the thugs' shouts came from behind them again.
The two stopped in their tracks, their hearts tightening. Had they been exposed?
Yun Zhourong froze. Ji Minxiu tried his best to remain calm, subtly taking her hand and turning away with a frown, feigning impatience.
Yun Zhourong quickly followed suit and looked over.
"Who are you? Why are you blocking people's way!"
Then, the two saw that the thugs were actually questioning two other guests who had come out of the inn.
Upon seeing this, both of them let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
After that, he strode away quickly without looking back.
