Yu Minglang and Qiao Zhen were tormented by imagination these past two days, envisioning Xiao Qian and Shi Yu suffering terribly.
However, beyond their expectations, aside from the injury Shi Yu sustained from grabbing a knife and the whip Xiao Qian got upon arrival, they had no other issues.
The two beauties, stuck in such a den of rogues for so long, managed to keep their innocence intact and escape unscathed by fooling over half the village.
And they even managed to escape…
Having dealt with things on his end and receiving the report from inside the village, Yu Minglang was rendered speechless.
Xiao Qian’s massive fire not only burned Auntie Apo’s woodpile but also nearly half of her courtyard. Although Auntie Apo wasn’t burned to death, she was terrified. Already impoverished, the destruction brought by Boss Qian only added fuel to the fire.
As for the man who bought Shi Touyu, he still insisted, even when Yu Minglang’s team suddenly appeared, that his Aunt’s disappearance was because of her revealing heavenly secrets. He vented his anger on Auntie Apo, beating the woman ruthlessly. Xiao Qian provided the clue that Auntie Apo’s uncle, Dagen’er next door, was guilty. He refused to open up no matter how loudly they knocked, and when they forced their way in, he was still piously washing his younger brother on his knees.
People were left standing there as he pointed at them, saying,
“Illusions, all illusions. You’re nothing but pranksters from the underworld. Do you think I’ll fear you just because you painted some flowers on your faces? Let me tell you, I’m not leaving. I’m going to have a son!”
After finishing speaking, he pulled up his trousers and, in front of everyone s stunned faces, picked up the container of water he’d just washed-.whatever in, and took a sip.
Everyone felt nauseated.
They could not help but admire Yu Minglang’s future wife even more.
What kind of badass was she to wreak such havoc within an entire village, all while not even a hair was hurt on her head!
Xiao Qian, with her formidable intelligence and ruthless methods, avenged the buyers and protected her friends.
The other girl who was bought along with them, however, was not so lucky.
When they rescued her, she was wounded all over and barely clothed, spouting nonsense.
The thought that if his Xiao Mei were a bit slower, she might end up like this, further affirmed Yu Minglang’s approval of the fire Xiao Mei started.
When Auntie Apo, lying on the ground and rolling in pain, demanded compensation for her house, the people on Yu’s side responded righteously.
Did you see them start the fire?
Did anyone see Xiao Qian start the fire?
Why are you blindly accusing them if you didn’t see it? Also, Auntie Apo is suspected of collaborating with Dagen’er to kill the girl bought earlier and dump her body in the wilderness. This calls for legal sanctions.
Even when put in handcuffs, Auntie Apo still didn’t understand what crime she’d committed.
She paid for that girl, who then bullied her silly son and tried to escape. In the end, the girl contracted some disease, and Auntie Apo believed she was just following village rules by dealing with her.
The lives and deaths of bought pigs, sheep, and chickens are all up to the owner, but humans and animals aren’t the same. The law won’t forego punishment just because you’re ignorant and don’t understand.
Xiao Qian didn’t know these details right away. When Yu Minglang found her, he didn’t want her to worry about these things.
Yu Minglang, at the critical moment, brought his team to rescue her and Shi Yu. Afterward, they returned to Qiang City via helicopter. On the plane, Yu Minglang was cuddling Xiao Qian. Both of them were fast asleep, sharing a coat.
After keeping their nerves taut for two days, they could finally relax.
These past two days, neither of them had gotten a proper sleep.
Xiao Qian was relatively fine; she would recover with some sleep.
Yu Minglang was more serious, with his worries easing after finding Xiao Qian, he finally relaxed. His body had been continuously overdrawn, combined with his lack of cooperation in getting treated, resulting in a high fever after getting off the plane. He was rushed to the hospital.
Xiao Qian and Shi Yu had to cooperate in the investigation and were taken back for questioning. Their experiences were too unbelievable.
Among the abducted women, some were college students and highly educated. But no one else could wreak havoc and escape unscathed like Xiao Qian did- this was unprecedented, and probably unsurpassable for many years to come.
If it weren’t for their unusual identities, all this could be turned into a television interview.
There were many inexplicable things in it, such as why Xiao Qian picked Da Paozi when she had Shi Yu pose as a goddess, and how she could state Da Paozi’s late father’s name.
Moreover, how could Shi Yu, under Xiao Qian’s guidance, find the money hidden in Da Paozi’s house? These were all unanswered mysteries.
Xiao Qian had thought it through. If Shi Yu mentioned any of this, she would tell the authorities that she had heard the information when the bad guys were talking and then used it to their advantage.
They wouldn’t ask the culprits what they had been discussing since it wasn’t closely related to the case. What surprised Xiao Qian somewhat was that Shi Yu hadn’t mentioned it.
She merely said that Xiao Qian had her pretend to be a goddess, and because her impersonation was convincing, she fooled everyone.
After this trafficking incident, Shi Yu seemed to have become a different person.
Her intelligence had fully returned, and she had tom off her naive facade to protect the people she genuinely cared about. Xiao Qian wasn’t sure if this was a good thing or a bad one.
When they were about to leave, Shi Yu stopped Xiao Qian.
“Boss Qian, I owe you an apology and a thank you. But I feel like those words don’t mean much because without you, I wouldn’t be standing here.
Xiao Qian merely smiled at her, “Boss Qian said she’d get you out, and she always keeps her word.”
Shi Yu embraced Xiao Qian with her bandaged hand and asked quietly,
■■Do you have secrets you’re hiding from me? Specifically, the information you told me, why was it so accurate?”
“Well, a life without secrets is no different from a salted fish,” Xiao Qian didn t deny it.
Shi Yu choked up and said, “Boss Qian, I never thought that Xiao Xuanzi, she…” Which was more painful? Being trafficked or betrayed by a close friend?
If you asked an outsider, trafficking is a horrendous act. But Xiao Yu fought alongside Boss Qian, fooling people with pranks, and although her heart was full of fear, in retrospect, those bad guys and that dreadful place somehow just became the background.
She could be there, fighting side by side with her best friend, Boss Qian. Eating roast chicken, riding little horses, and playing tricks on people…all of it became precious memories.
Who says only men and women can be in love? Friendship, when it reaches a certain level, is not inferior to love.
Xiao Qian also learned that it was Shi Yu’s childhood friend who arranged for her to be sold. Seeing the sadness on Shi Yu’s face, Xiao Qian was worried. She feared that Shi Yu would collapse because she cared too much.. But Shi Yu’s reaction really surprised Xiao Qian, the psychological expert!
