The moment Xia Ke walked over, she grabbed the stool from Tao Ying's hand and smacked Biaozi on the head.
There was a loud thud; you can imagine how painful it must have been.
Xia Ke placed the clothes that Tao Ying had just used to smash the glass by the car window.
He grabbed the car window and jumped out.
Tao Ying jumped down after Xia Ke, who had already taken the keys out of Biao Zi's pocket and handed them to Tao Ying. "Auntie, here you go."
"Are you going to get out, or should I smash the window and pull you out?" Xia Ke took a stool and walked to the passenger seat.
By the moonlight, Tao Ying saw what appeared to be blood flowing from Biaozi's head.
Tao Ying took the keys but didn't open the trunk door; instead, she got into the driver's seat.
He reached out and grabbed Zhang Fang's hair. Xia Ke saw Tao Ying get into the car, opened the passenger door, and started grabbing Zhang Fang's hair as well.
"Please, let me go! I was kidnapped by them too!" Zhang Fang cried and begged for mercy.
Tao Ying let go of her hand, gave a strong push, and, following Xia Ke's momentum, pulled Zhang Fang out of the car.
Xia Ke quickly got into the car and closed the door. "Auntie, can we drive away?" Xia Ke's heart was pounding.
If my aunt can't drive the car, then we won't be able to escape, and what awaits us will probably be something worse than death.
"No problem, it's just dark, let's drive slowly." Tao Ying's palms were sweating. She first fastened her seatbelt, found the high beams, then started the engine, stepped on the clutch, released the handbrake, shifted gears, and accelerated.
The car slowly started moving, and Tao Ying breathed a sigh of relief. Then she slowly turned around and drove off at a leisurely pace.
"Child, I don't know the way, let's just follow the main road," Tao Ying whispered to Xia Ke.
"Okay, Auntie, don't be nervous. We've escaped, so we're not afraid anymore. Let's drive straight to the police station." Xia Ke wiped away the tears that had fallen without her noticing, and then realized that her palm was bleeding.
“Child, if we can get out of here, let’s not go to the police station in Taoxian to report the case. Let’s report it in a bigger place.” Tao Ying remembered what she had heard on the news in her previous life.
Many police officers in remote counties are actually in cahoots with human traffickers. If you go to the police station rashly, you may very well be walking into the lion's den.
“Auntie, let’s go to the army base. My uncle is the regimental commander here. I had a fight with my mom this time, so I came to find my uncle.” Xia Ke wiped away her tears.
"You were arrested at the train station? Does your uncle know when you arrived?" Tao Ying was overjoyed.
"I... I didn't tell my uncle. I was thinking of calling him when I got here," Xia Ke said, looking down and feeling a little guilty.
Tao Ying “…”
"Auntie, my name is Xia Ke, you can call me Xiao Ke," Xia Ke said after thinking for a moment.
"Then just call me Aunt Tao. Let's see how it goes," Tao Ying sighed.
It was late at night, there were no streetlights, and neither of them knew the way.
"Aunt Tao, what about those people behind us?" Xia Ke asked in a low voice.
Report the incident to the authorities and let them handle it. What if they abandon the person halfway and then abduct them to someone else?
"You know a few moves, right?" Tao Ying felt that Xia Ke must know a few moves, otherwise she wouldn't have been so quick just now.
"I know a few moves, but I can't beat that bastard one-on-one. I'll ask my uncle to give me extra training when I get back." Xia Ke felt even more guilty.
"Then how did you get arrested?" Tao Ying couldn't understand. If you couldn't fight back, you could at least run away.
"It was an older woman who said she couldn't read and asked me to take her somewhere. But she got drugged halfway there." Xia Ke felt extremely embarrassed.
Tao Ying sighed. So many girls have been abducted this way.
Sometimes being too kind is a sin, in this wicked society.
"Aunt Tao, are you scared?"
Xia Ke looked out into the pitch black darkness, with only a faint ray of light. The road wasn't very clear, and she felt a little scared.
"I'm not afraid." Tao Ying glanced at the half-full tank of gas left and said confidently.
"Aunt Tao, which unit is your son in? I'll ask my uncle and see if he can help." Xia Ke made conversation, seemingly relieved to hear Aunt Tao's voice.
“My son isn’t in the military. I lied to those people. I just wanted to come out and inquire about clothing factories so I could buy some goods to sell back home. Who would have thought I’d run into something like this?” Tao Ying said deliberately.
Xia Ke's background is not simple; perhaps her family is in business. What if this is a connection I can make in the future?
"A garment factory? My mom's friend seems to have opened a factory, but I don't know what kind of factory it is. Aunt Tao, my family lives in Shanghai. Why don't you come back with me this time and I'll ask my mom to help you find one?" Xia Ke said after thinking for a moment.
"Aren't you angry with your mom anymore?" Tao Ying teased.
"Aunt Tao~" Xia Ke called out shyly.
“I wanted to study law in college, but my mom insisted that I study medicine. I got angry and ran away from home. I don’t want to study anymore.” Xia Ke felt that she hadn’t done anything wrong.
"Is it because your mother is a doctor, and she has a high standing in her field, and she thought that if you followed in her footsteps, you could avoid many detours?" Tao Ying suddenly remembered the sentence she had heard before.
If you persuade someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning; if you persuade someone to study law, you'll be torn to pieces.
This child's two paths are really...
"It's because she's a chief physician that I don't want to study medicine. She's always busy with work, and I've spent most of my life with my grandma," Xia Ke said angrily.
"Your mom probably just wants to spend more time with you, which is why she suggested you study medicine, so you can spend more time together in the hospital." Tao Ying didn't know how to persuade Xia Ke.
"No, that's not it. She just wants to control me, which is why I want to study law. I've heard that people who study law are very eloquent and can definitely out-argue my mom." Xia Ke said, as if she were trying to convince herself.
“Who says a mother has to reason with you? As a mother, I won’t lose an argument with my daughter,” Tao Ying said from the side.
"Aunt Tao!" Xia Ke looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.
How could someone go so far?
"Okay, I'm not sleepy, you don't need to shout at me like that."
"Aunt Tao, do you have children? Are you this cruel to your children too?" Xia Ke asked, unwilling to give up.
"Yes, I have five children: two daughters and three sons. My eldest daughter got divorced and came back with her children. I kicked my eldest son and his wife out. The three younger ones are quite obedient now." Tao Ying was happy to talk to Xia Ke, otherwise it would have been really difficult to start a conversation.
"Why were you kicked out?" Tao Ying's words shocked Xia Ke's understanding.
“My husband passed away, and there is a pension of three thousand yuan. My eldest daughter is being abused by her husband’s family to the point of near death. They only want money and don’t care about my daughter. What do I need them for? Are they just there to annoy me?” Tao Ying said with complete confidence.
Xia Ke's "..." seemed to make sense, but something just felt off.
