When she was at the Four Directions Restaurant earlier, she wanted to take a picture at first glance.
But with Yang Lin around, she was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she held back from taking a photo.
After a long day, Lin Xiaoyan checked the time; it was already 11:30.
"Sigh~, time to sleep, sleep!"
Lin Xiaoyan quickly washed up and went to bed.
She had to get up early for work the next day.
As she lay in bed, Lin Xiaoyan thought about how her savings had reached seven figures, yet why was she still so tired???
Li Mei was equally puzzled.
Tears streamed down her face, filled with immense regret.
She looked in horror at the filthy and foul-smelling men in front of her, at that moment they were sizing her up like she was merchandise.
She felt as if she had been stripped bare.
Li Mei’s pleading gaze turned to Wang He, who was laughing and chatting with others nearby.
She wanted Wang He to save her.
Noticing Li Mei’s gaze, Wang He looked at the disheveled and tearful Li Mei and snorted coldly.
He no longer needed to disguise himself now.
Vile woman!
Wang He lit a cigarette and said to the person in front of him, "After this deal is done, I want to take a break, let the others come down from the mountain."
"Sure, why not."
Mr. Shan sat on the chair, glanced at Li Mei on the ground, and shouted loudly, "Hurry up, have you seen enough? Start bidding!
The highest bidder gets to enjoy for two days, and if she’s still disobedient after two days, she’ll be sent over the mountain."
"If anyone fancies her and wants to take her as a wife, come to me within these two days, one price, 100,000!"
Hearing Mr. Shan’s words, the group of men became displeased one by one.
"Mr. Shan, that’s too expensive." A man with yellow teeth and a shabby appearance said.
"Yeah, Mr. Shan, back in the day, a person was only 500 yuan, how come it’s so expensive now!"
"Mr. Shan, make it cheaper so we brothers can all enjoy..."
"Yeah, yeah..."
...
Listening to these men, Li Mei trembled with fear, thinking that their aim was money, she immediately shouted loudly.
"I have money! Let me go, I’ll give you money, I’ll give you 200,000, please let me go..." Li Mei pleaded, looking at Mr. Shan.
Everyone present just glanced at her and ignored her.
The women who come here have all sorts of backgrounds.
Money? They have it!
What they lack are women!
Li Mei felt hopeless, crying out, "Wang He, please, I’ll give you all my money, just let me go!"
A look of disdain flashed in Wang He’s eyes, "Hmph! Your money? It won’t be long before all your assets are taken away by that good friend of yours!"
Li Mei was wide-eyed at Wang He’s words; she didn’t believe it.
Wang He sneered as he looked at Li Mei, he loved seeing such a look of despair!
"Back then, it was your good friend who contacted me and arranged the meeting between us!
She wants money, I want people, hahaha..."
Li Mei’s eyes widened, murmuring disbelief.
"Oh, by the way, your good friend just sent me a voice message, do you want to listen?" Wang He looked at Li Mei wickedly.
He played the voice message on his phone.
A familiar voice came from the phone, "Wang He, have you got the person?"
"After you get her, remember to have her sign the property transfer agreement!"
Li Mei’s heart filled with unprecedented hatred.
At that moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, her whole body shivering from the cold.
She never imagined that her best friend Liu Jiajia since childhood, would push her into the abyss for money.
Wang He looked at the heartbroken Li Mei with satisfaction, he stood up and greeted Mr. Shan.
"Mr. Shan, I’m heading back."
Mr. Shan nodded, "Go, you’ve worked hard recently."
Li Mei watched helplessly as Wang He left, unable to say another word of plea; she finally saw these people for what they truly were, all devils!
They wouldn’t let her go!
Li Mei was filled with deep regret, she had money, a house, a car, and was living comfortably alone.
Why did she fantasize about having a man who loved her?
Why did she let herself be deceived by Wang He?
Why did she follow him to this place that devours people?
Why?
Could she ever go back?
Who’s going to save her???
Dad... Mom...
The hope in Li Mei’s eyes gradually extinguished, yes, no one would come to save her.
Her parents had passed away, her only good friend sold her out for her money!
Heh, after she went missing, no one would report her disappearance... no one...
Inside the room, the bargaining for a woman was fervent.
Outside, it was pitch black.
At this moment, He Qi’an and his people had arrived near Xiao Lian Village.
People from the armed forces were quietly infiltrating the village.
The night was about to fade away...
The next day, Lin Xiaoyan woke up early as usual, after breakfast, she rushed to the bubble tea shop to open up and start work.
As soon as she opened the door, someone came to buy bubble tea.
Lin Xiaoyan got busy making bubble tea without stopping.
More and more people lined up, and Lin Xiaoyan moved faster and faster.
"Damn! A new piece of news just came out, a village in Yun Province has been trafficking women for years, dealing with Jiao Mian Country, last night’s arrest..."
Upon hearing someone in line discuss this news with their companion, Lin Xiaoyan paused for a moment before resuming her work.
After everyone left, Lin Xiaoyan immediately took out her phone to check the news.
Sure enough, the latest news was about the human trafficking incident in Yun Province.
Lin Xiaoyan clicked in to read carefully, and when she saw that one of the rescued individuals was someone with the surname Li, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the boss Li Mei had been successfully rescued.
"Ding"
Another delivery order came in, and Lin Xiaoyan resigned herself to her fate, getting up to continue making bubble tea.
Now she hoped the boss would come back soon and hire more people so she could take it a bit easier.
When Lin Xiaoyan saw her boss Li Mei again, it had already been two days.
"Boss..."
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her boss, whose face was haggard and pale, feeling immense sympathy.
Anyone would be terrified after experiencing being sold.
Moreover...
Last night, she heard He Qi’an say that it was Li Mei’s own good friend who contacted that man to sell her.
Sigh...
Li Mei saw Lin Xiaoyan looking worried, she forced a smile and her voice was a bit hoarse.
"Has everything been okay at the shop these past few days?"
Lin Xiaoyan: "Everything’s fine, it’s all normal, just that we’re running low on bubble tea materials and need to restock."
Li Mei heard that but didn’t say anything, she glanced at the shop and quietly said, "If we’re out, then we’re out..."
Lin Xiaoyan looked up, puzzled at Li Mei, "Hmm? Aren’t we going to restock?"
Without any expression, Li Mei looked at Lin Xiaoyan, "I’m planning to transfer the shop, not keeping it running."
"Huh? Why?" Lin Xiaoyan looked at her boss in surprise.
Li Mei’s gaze moved to the outside, "I’m tired, I want to travel to other places."
"......"
Lin Xiaoyan didn’t know what to say, but with her boss making this decision, she could only respect it.
Sigh, the job she just found was going to be gone.
Lin Xiaoyan felt a bit helpless inside; it seemed she would have to continue looking for another job.
