Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Discovering Clues

Dazhu hesitated a bit.

"Selling her off could at least get the medicine money back," Gouzi continued, "This chick is tender and pretty; she’ll definitely fetch a good price."

It’s not like they hadn’t done something like this before.

Dazhu worriedly said, "But this girl is normal."

In the past, they did sell two or three, but those had mental issues.

"What are you scared of?" Gouzi spoke, "I’m just talking here; haven’t actually sold her, have we? Whether we sell or not, doesn’t it all depend on Haiyang’s opinion?"

After saying this, he looked towards Xu Haiyang, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Xu Haiyang stroked his chin and pondered, "If she doesn’t behave and obey, just sell her off! Saves us the trouble."

Although those words were meant to scare Shen Mianmian, they also reflected his genuine thoughts.

If Shen Mianmian were disobedient, causing a fuss about calling the police, it would be better to sell her straight away and get the money.

Shen Mianmian listened to the conversation between the three men, her face turning pale. She knew Xu Haiyang hung around with some thugs, but she had no idea that he was also involved in human trafficking.

No wonder the Xu Haiyang of her previous life never liked to work yet always seemed to have gambling money on hand.

Thinking of the true events she had seen on the news about women being trafficked, her heart sank to the bottom.

This time, her hands and feet were bound tightly, and her mouth was gagged so securely that she couldn’t make a sound. If she were really sold off like this, her parents would probably look for her symbolically for a few days and then be eager to have Zhou Siyu take the surname Shen!

With this thought, a hint of bitterness appeared in Shen Mianmian’s eyes.

No matter how well she did, no matter how outstanding she was, many things seemed to be predetermined.

Shen Jianhua always favored Zhou Siyu the most.

She slowly closed her eyes; a tear rolled down the corner of her eye as the desire to escape grew stronger within her.

...

Li Yue reduced the gas slowly, and the speed of his driving decreased, his mind fixed on the burlap sack on the wooden cart. The more he thought about it, the more he was convinced it contained a person.

Finally, he pressed hard on the accelerator, turning his head only to meet He Nan’s unkind gaze.

But he didn’t care too much and said, "Bro Nan, why do I feel like the burlap sack we just saw on that wooden cart, had a person inside it?"

Knowing that He Nan had been resting with his eyes closed and hadn’t noticed the wooden cart, Li Yue described the scene briefly before analyzing.

"Think about it! Early in the morning, instead of sleeping in, three grown men are dragging a sack that looks like it contains a person down the road. Isn’t that strange?"

If it wasn’t a person inside, then all was fine, but what if it was?

Thinking that there might be a life at stake, he wanted to turn around and check.

He Nan’s brows furrowed slightly, "Then what are you waiting for?"

On hearing that, Li Yue felt cheered, turned the car around, and said, "Bro Nan, hold tight."

The car had not gone far when it reached a fork in the road. Li Yue hit the brakes and became uncertain again.

He Nan glanced at the road and said, "Take the left."

Upon hearing this, Li Yue didn’t hesitate at all, turned the steering wheel, and drove to the left.

The road was narrow, barely wide enough for one car. Li Yue secretly took pride in his driving skills; if it had been someone not so skilled, they’d have ended up damaging other people’s crops.

After a while, when they reached another crossroad and the road became even narrower, they were on a rural path where a car could hardly pass.
