Chapter 1400: Chapter 1394: Imprisoned by Someone_1 Chapter 1400: Chapter 1394: Imprisoned by Someone_1 The woman had been in this business for many years without any mishaps, so she never anticipated that the seemingly innocent girl before her would eventually become the catalyst for her downfall.

“Alright then, I won’t bring my sister over. I’ll play by myself; these beautiful things are all mine.” Xue Ling performed the innocence of a young girl brilliantly, so well that no one would believe she’s actually a thousand-year-old Fox Fairy.

“That’s more like it. When you’ve had enough, you can take a couple home for your sister.” The woman thought, as long as you behave, I get my money, and after that, it doesn’t matter to me whether you’re obedient or disobedient.

Indeed, they were part of a human trafficking organization. They had been at it for many years without any problems, hoping to retire after this year, settle down, start a family, and have a child–while she still could. The woman rubbed her belly; if she had other business prospects, she wouldn’t have joined this organization.

As she continued to deliberate and wonder about the outcomes, she was confident no one would investigate them. Otherwise, they would’ve been arrested years ago rather than remaining at large.

Meanwhile, Qin Xue and Chu Molin had been strolling the streets, completely unaware that Xue Ling had infiltrated the Den of Thieves. If Qin Xue had known, she would have wanted to smack Xue Ling. What was she thinking? They specifically warned her to be careful, yet she dared to go with strangers; was she trying to get herself killed?

Once the woman left, Xue Ling gazed around the room, feeling everything in it. She walked over to a painting that felt oddly misplaced, and lifted it to check behind, but found nothing unusual. Unable to figure out why it seemed peculiar, Xue Ling put it back and returned to her original spot right before the door opened.

Xue Ling was secretly relieved inside; her timely actions had kept her from getting caught.

“Auntie, I’m not enjoying myself here, I want to go home,” Xue Ling said to the woman who had just entered. She felt that if the woman stayed, she wouldn’t discover anything. Her only chance was to make a move; thus, she decided to act like she no longer wanted to be there.

“What’s the matter? You said you loved all these pretty and fun things; why don’t you want to play anymore?” The woman put a glass of water to the side and asked Xue Ling.

“I’m bored by myself here. At home, I have a little brother to play with.” Xue Ling responded, sounding rather aggrieved.

“Alright then, finish your water and I’ll take you home,” the woman said, placing the glass of water before Xue Ling.

“Okay then.” Xue Ling took the glass, brought it to her lips, then pulled away without drinking.

“Auntie, may I take a toy home for my little brother?” Xue Ling asked the woman hopefully.

“Of course, as long as you finish your water, I’ll take you home and give you loads of toys. This doll is yours too. What do you say?” The woman pointed to a nearby rag doll.

“Okay, thank you, Auntie.” After Xue Ling placed the glass on her lips and was about to drink it, she quickly pulled away again, seemingly recalling something.

The woman anxiously watched from the sidelines. Just drink the water already! She’s driving me crazy.

“Auntie, don’t you have a little brother or sister? You’re so beautiful; they must be too,” asked Xue Ling, holding the glass but continuously refraining from drinking it.
