Chapter 39 The Girl Sold by Her Uncle and Cousin
"Hey! I'm telling you, you've all hated the wrong person, okay?" Mina couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Who are you? You're illegally kidnapping a citizen of this city in broad daylight. Aren't you afraid I'll call the police?" the girl in the cage shouted.
"Shut up! How stupid are you? Didn't you notice the slave ring around your neck?" the boy yelled at her fiercely.
"Slave ring? Why? We were having a perfectly fine meal in the restaurant, what happened next?" the girl asked, looking completely bewildered.
"Haven't you figured it out yet? Your uncle and cousin sold you and me together," the boy said angrily.
"Impossible! You are my savior. You even helped me kill two sixth-tier zombies and dig out two sixth-tier crystal cores."
"They invited you to the restaurant out of gratitude..." The girl's voice trailed off.
She finally remembered that when the food was placed on the table, both of them were still awake, and she had even helped him pick up some food.
Later, her uncle came over with a bottle of wine and poured a full glass for both of them, saying that as an elder, it was inconvenient for him to toast the younger generation, and that she should express his gratitude on his behalf.
Then, as her uncle wished, she raised her glass to toast him. After they clinked glasses, they both drank it down and smiled at each other.
Then she saw his body go limp and fall down, and she herself lost consciousness as well.
Subconsciously, she didn't want to believe it was real, so after she woke up again, she deliberately ignored that last scene until he brought it up, forcing her to confront it.
"Waaaaah! Why? Why did they do this? My uncle and cousin were always so nice to me," the girl cried.
"What good will they get if you die or are no longer here?" the boy asked.
"Benefits? I remember now, it's the house! The house they live in now was left to me by my parents, and the property certificate has my name on it."
Last month, my cousin said he wanted to get married and asked if I would mind if he got married in my house. I jokingly said that if my cousin's wife treated me badly, I would kick her out.
But I was really just joking. Even if my cousin's wife treats me badly, I will still be more tolerant of her for the sake of my cousin and uncle.
"Is this all they're going to do to sell me?" the girl asked, her voice filled with grief and indignation.
"Perhaps it's not entirely because of that; there must be some reason related to me as well."
Yesterday evening you took me home and were very affectionate with me. Your uncle misunderstood our relationship and kept trying to find out if we were dating.
Although I denied it at the time, telling him that we were just good friends, and that he only took me home because I casually saved him in the zombie hunting grounds so that I could save on accommodation costs.
Then your uncle casually asked me, "Your spatial button looks pretty high-end, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
I didn't think much of it at the time and just replied, "I found it by chance in the zombie hunting grounds."
They might think you're in a relationship, and that if you get married, you might even bring your boyfriend home to live with you.
This would make your current 60-square-meter apartment too crowded. If you were to kick them out, they would have nowhere to live.
If that's the case, why not just sell us both? That way, you can get my spatial button and all our spoils.
Most importantly, no one is competing with them for houses anymore. The boy's analysis was very logical, and the girl nodded repeatedly.
Mina listened from the side and thought that the boy was quite smart. Unfortunately, because of his trust in the girl, he also lost his guard against her two relatives who seemed to love her.
However, even if it were her, she might not be able to avoid this situation.
Logically, she should have let them go, but the two of them had already seen the true nature of her group, and letting them go would risk leaking secrets.
Mina looked at Matt: "What should we do with these two?"
Matt was also a bit of a headache, so he looked at Boyiyan. Boyiyan looked at the boy and girl and said, "Tell me your names and your families."
“My name is Dai Yingying. You heard our conversation just now. From now on, I have no family.”
His name is Mu Ye, and he's an orphan, but he's very capable, and I'm not bad either.
How much did you spend to buy us? We can make double the money and pay you back. We will definitely not let you suffer a loss.
"Uncle, please, please let us go!" The girl, Dai Yingying, looked pitifully at Bo Yiyan.
"It cost a full 10 points to buy your tickets. Do you really think you can earn 200,000 points?" Bo Yiyan said.
"Huh? 100,000 points? That's so many. No wonder Uncle and the others sold us." Dai Yingying's little face fell.
“I have a friend who’s from a wealthy family. If you agree to let me contact him, I believe he will definitely come up with 200,000 to redeem us,” Mu Ye said.
"Do you think I'm stupid? You want me to contact your friend so he can bring people to rob you? I don't want to lose 100,000 points."
"Here's what we'll do. You guys follow us for now. Later, when we go to the zombie hunting grounds, you'll be our guides. Once you've earned 200,000 points for us, I'll unlock it for you," Bo said.
The light in the eyes of the young men and women dimmed, but now they all had slave rings around their necks, and no matter how unwilling they were, they were helpless.
Mina quietly pulled Bo Yiyan aside and asked, "Are we really going to treat these two innocent children like slaves?"
"Since we can't release them for now, let's keep them in slave rings. That will at least keep them from talking nonsense. Once we've taken down the Hua Jing family and then the other two families, and have firmly established ourselves, we can let them go."
"Or do you have any other good ideas? Tell me about them," Bo Yi said.
"No, I'll do as you say," Mina said dejectedly.
