Chapter 331: Chapter 15: "Beloved at Heart" This Volume Concludes_2
Li Xiaotian’s control over the village was so tight that it wasn’t surprising he had a self-sufficient human trafficking team.
The police had figured everything out, but now they were hesitating, afraid to act hastily and alert the enemy.
What Chu River was doing was posing as a trafficked girl.
But the problem is...
...
She was gradually growing impatient, her eyes becoming dangerous behind her sunglasses, while several men squatting nearby, seemingly waiting for coworkers, whispered to one another:
"Big brother, I’ve been watching this girl for a long time, isn’t she stunning? Don’t you think so?"
The big brother took a deep drag on his cigarette: "Why are you still so short-sighted... She’s so pretty, there’d certainly be a lot of people around her, and she’s easily recognizable... If by chance someone unexpected saw her or took a photo, what then?"
The brothers laughed.
"Big brother, you don’t need to be so cautious. Once she’s back home, she’d be having babies, doing laundry, and cooking. No matter how glamorous she was before, she’d just be another wife in the village. Do you really think someone’s going to recognize her?"
He rubbed his hands, glancing again: "Big brother, I really like her looks. How about bringing her back for me to marry?"
The big brother gave him a look: "Alright, Xiao San, you have quite the taste—such a catch won’t be cheap, 100,000 yuan, do you have that?"
The man named Xiao San chuckled: "The money comes from you, the big brother. Do you think I have it?"
Their operation was self-sufficient within the village, but they had to keep track of every penny, otherwise, how could they sustain their business with their families and relatives?
The big brother looked again but furrowed his brows and turned away: "Xiao San, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I have a bad feeling when I look at this girl."
Xiao San’s face darkened: "Listen to you, big brother, if you’ve taken a fancy to her, she should be your wife first... your heart’s racing..."
As they huddled and discussed, Chu River lost her patience. She crunched the last bit of her ice cream cone and strode over, standing directly in front of them.
Suddenly, they were all dumbfounded.
...
Chu River smiled, her plump lips curled up, looking especially sweet with her eyes hidden behind her sunglasses.
"Are you gentlemen not interested in me?"
The big brother’s expression changed, and he immediately jumped up, looking around as if to flee. However, Chu River’s slender fingers barely touched his shoulder, and he collapsed onto the ground.
The fellow villagers were stunned.
Chu River tilted her head up, her toe playfully nudging their shins. In an instant, the men turned pale and also fell to the ground.
She sighed, feeling quite unhappy.
"I even had my hair washed and curled at the salon for 25 yuan. You’ve been hesitating all this time; do you look down on me?"
In that moment, the big brother nearly burst into tears.
"No, no..." His face turned pale, his voice weak. That kick felt like their bones were hammered.
"If not, why haven’t you acted? I’ve been waiting for hours, did you know?"
"I know you look down on me, do you think I’m not feminine enough? Bah, shallow! There are plenty of people in the world who like me! A bunch of bumpkins!"
If they could, the men would’ve kneeled and confessed to being bumpkins with poor taste.
But now, with their shins in agony and the young lady right in front of them, they couldn’t move at all...
Where on earth could they complain about this?
Xiao San was particularly aggrieved: "We didn’t look down on you; if you had waited another half hour, I would’ve acted..."
He was genuinely interested and planned to make a move.
Unbeknownst to him, Chu River glanced at him: "With a face like a monkey, you’re pretty confident—do you think I’d fancy you? Could you find someone with decent features for this line of work these days?"
Xiao San: ...
...
"Little He," a helpless voice came through the earpiece.
Fang Zhou reminded her: "Everyone’s been watching for a few hours too, get on with the job."
The young girl was playing around endlessly.
Chu River then sighed, looking a bit regretful: "Fine, time’s tight and the task is urgent. I’ll go back to the village with you now."
The men exchanged glances, and the leading big brother asked: "This young lady, what is your..."
Chu River smiled at him, then gently squeezed his shoulder, her expression soft: "It’s best not to ask questions you’re not supposed to, do you understand?"
