The room was not big, and besides the two thieves, there were eight or nine other people.
When the two thieves saw Kang Yueran rushing in, they had nowhere to hide and rushed towards Kang Yueran with their fists raised.
Kang Yueran bent down slightly to avoid the attack. She took a half step forward with her right leg and punched him hard in the abdomen.
The thief took a few steps back and finally managed to steady himself, but he felt that all his internal organs were injured and he knelt on the ground powerlessly.
"Please let me go, girl. I promise I will never do evil again."
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect a woman to be so strong.
Kang Yueran took advantage of this opportunity, raised his right arm, and shot the other thief with a hidden arrow before he could react.
The thief was so frightened that his face turned pale and he knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Kang Yueran and begged for mercy.
Kang Yueran asked, "How many of you are there? How did you target this family?"
"We have sixty-three brothers in the Tiger Gang. We've hired a group of kids to help us stake out the shops in the city. If we spot someone with money, we'll follow them home and rob them at night when they're least prepared."
There are actually gangs in the city, and they know how to divide the work and cooperate.
Kang Yueran suddenly remembered the brother and sister who stopped her that day and begged her to take them in.
She frowned. Since this group of people hadn't returned yet, other members of the gang would definitely come to investigate.
She is right next door and will definitely be implicated.
Can't stay here any longer.
She looked at the kidnapped people. Would they tell on the perpetrators?
Feeling Kang Yueran's chill, Mother Wang, with her hands bound, knelt down and took a few steps forward, kowtowed, "Miss, I'm from Xuzhou. We'll leave at daybreak, and I will never betray you."
Hu Xiaocheng walked in supporting He Zhengchu. He Zhengchu let go of Hu Xiaocheng, picked up a knife on the ground, and stabbed it into Mother Wang's body.
“These people cannot stay.”
Mother Wang and the other two were all tied up, which made it easier for He Zhengchu to take action.
After dealing with Mother Wang and her two maids, He Zhengchu kowtowed to Kang Yueran and thanked her. "The eight of us were all bought by Mother Wang. When they bought us, they said we were slaves, but after they bought us, they told us we were prostitutes. We refused, and we were often beaten by them."
Hu Xiaocheng untied the ropes for the others.
His brother Hu Dacheng admired Kang Yueran's fighting ability very much. He knelt down and clasped his fists, "Miss, please accept me. I am willing to serve you as my master and obey your orders in everything."
The thief also kowtowed and said, "Miss, I am willing to serve you as my master, but I only ask that you don't kill me!"
A little girl who was untied looked at him with resentment, snatched the knife from He Zhengchu's hand, and pierced the thief's chest with the knife.
This knife attack took up all her strength. She didn't know if it was because of fear or something else, but she collapsed on the ground, crying and laughing.
This is the girl who had just been bullied. Her clothes were torn, and bite marks could be clearly seen between her neck and collarbone.
Kang Yueran couldn't bear it any longer. "Since you were bought back, go find your indentures and destroy them first, then go home."
He Zhengchu said, "Dacheng and Xiaocheng, go look for her in Mother Wang's room."
Soon, Dacheng and Xiaocheng came back with a stack of indentures.
Dacheng said, "Zhengchu, look at these. Xiaocheng said he saw them when he was pressing his handprints. This is what the indenture looked like."
He Zhengchu took them and looked through them one by one, "These are them!"
He handed the indentures to each person according to their names.
"There's no official seal on the indenture, which means Mother Wang hasn't registered it yet. As long as we burn it, we'll still be good citizens."
Hu Dacheng handed his indenture contract to Kang Yueran and said, "Miss, I'm willing to sell it to you, no money required!"
Kang Yueran waved her hand, "I still have a big family to support." She also clasped her fists, "Now that everyone is safe, I'll take my leave. If you are truly grateful for saving my life, just don't betray me. Let's say goodbye now!"
Kang Yueran turned around and walked into the yard, collecting the crossbow arrows she had shot one by one, saving as much as she could.
Seeing this, He Zhengchu's heart skipped a beat. He thought Hu Dacheng's idea was a good one. The fact that this girl was willing to rescue them showed she had good intentions; her success in rescuing them showed she was capable; and the fact that she pulled the arrow out and took it away afterwards showed she was cautious.
Seeing Kang Yueran ignoring him, Hu Dacheng turned to He Zhengchu and asked, "Zhengchu, do you have any way to make the girl accept me? You didn't see it just now, but that girl is stronger than me. She knocked the thief down with one punch."
He Zhengchu asked, "Does anyone else want to follow that girl?"
Hu Dacheng and Hu Xiaocheng were the first to respond. Wang Xiaoying, who had killed the thief, stopped crying and said, "I have no home to return to. I am willing to follow the girl."
The other four were a little hesitant because they had families and relatives.
He Zhengchu said, "We can't stay here any longer. If these thieves don't return, someone will definitely come looking for us. Let's go to Mother Wang's room and divide up her belongings. Those who want to go home can go home."
Kang Yueran returned to her own yard, and everyone came out of the house.
She ordered: "Pack your things, we can't live here anymore."
Zhao was terrified and pointed at Kang Yueran, "You, you really killed someone!"
Kang Yuanchen said, "If we don't kill them, they will jump over the wall and kill us. We are protecting ourselves."
Kang Yueran also felt bad. She was just a businessman in modern times. She had experienced intrigues and schemes, but she had never killed anyone.
This world does not allow her to be merciful. If she does not harm others, others will come to harm her.
"Go pack your things!"
Kang Yuanchen comforted Kang Yueran, "Yueran, don't listen to your grandma's nonsense. It's not your fault! Those are bad people. You are getting rid of them for the people!"
Kang Yueran forced a smile. "I understand what you're saying, but since this is my first time killing someone, I'm inevitably a little confused and nervous. I'll just rest for a while. Go help them clean up. We'll leave the day after tomorrow at the latest."
