Chapter 150: Almost got beaten up by 150 Chapter 150: Almost got beaten up by 150 When Li left, she intentionally walked past He to provoke her, finding satisfaction in seeing He unable to vent her frustration despite being clearly upset.
Unexpectedly, He suddenly broke free from the person holding her and lunged toward Li.
Li, frail as she was, stood no chance against He and was easily knocked down, her old and tattered cotton-padded coat torn open.
In an instant, the signs of affection once showered upon Li were exposed for all to see. Being married men themselves, they knew exactly what those signs meant.
It also changed the way people looked at Old Man Ye.
Who would have thought, despite Old Man Ye’s age, he was still capable of such merriment! No wonder they say a concubine is better than a wife!
“Ye Cheng, you old bastard, how can you do this to me after all these years I’ve borne and raised your children? My daughter is missing, and yet you still torture my heart, do you even have a conscience?” He felt as though all her strength had been drained in an instant.
Old Man Ye’s pupils narrowed as he looked at He and swore, “I swear, ever since Erya was born, I haven’t touched Li.”
The crowd was immediately abuzz. As Old Man Ye’s concubine, showing such marks, if Old Man Ye hadn’t touched Li, then it meant…
Ye Jiu woke up to the jolting motion.
On opening her heavy eyelids, she was greeted by a small, swaying space.
Ye Jiu tried to sit up in shock but found her hands and feet tied, her mouth gagged, and her body devoid of any strength.
Feeling her legs being uncomfortably pressed, Ye Jiu struggled to move her eyes and saw that around ten other girls lay scattered beside her.
As her thoughts slowly gathered, recalling how she had been knocked out, a chill ran through Ye Jiu’s heart.
During the tumultuous journey, besides herself, two others had awakened, but tragically, their mouths were stuffed, preventing any communication.
Gradually, one by one, people began to wake up.
After what felt like a long time, the carriage came to a stop, and the sealed door was opened.
Sunlight pierced in, causing Ye Jiu to instantly close her eyes.
“Time to eat, everyone off the carriage.” A man’s voice rang out, and when Ye Jiu opened her eyes again, someone was already helping to untie her hands.
As the rag was removed from her mouth, Ye Jiu’s jaws felt so sore they could barely close.
In the carriage, there were a total of ten girls, all bound by long chains on their feet, connected together, clanging loudly as they moved. Their pace was extremely slow; otherwise, they would cause the person behind them to stumble and fall.
I’ve actually been kidnapped, what a joke!
Lost in her daze, Ye Jiu was already struck by a whip, “Move it, do you not want to eat or what?”
“I wish I could move faster, but I just don’t have any strength left in me!” Feeling the pain and weakness in her body, Ye Jiu was angry yet helpless.
Who would have thought that her remark could provoke such anger?
“Fuck, you dare talk back when I speak? I’ll beat the living daylights out of you, you little bitch!”
The man raised the whip again intending to strike, but was stopped by someone else, “Old Seven, we need to eat and get moving, we still have a long way to go.”
Old Seven, still angry, put down the whip and continued herding the people along.
This place was within a forest, and there appeared to be over thirty girls just like Ye Jiu with restricted movement, split into three separate carriages.
The kidnappers had made a fire in the middle of the clearing, enjoying roasted meat, while Ye Jiu and the rest of the girls could only gnaw on stiff, hard cakes, shivering in the bitterly cold wind—a truly desolate scene.
