When the second-in-command saw that his boss was actually going to let the children go, he opened his mouth to say something. The boss saw this and immediately slapped him across the face.
"Shut your mouth. One more word of nonsense and I’ll kill you."
The second-in-command looked aggrieved. It was so unfair.
’He hadn’t even said anything yet!’
What he’d actually wanted to suggest was letting the little brats go first. Then, he could bring some men back later to surround them. They could just lock Gu Jiaojiao and the children up in separate places. Wouldn’t that solve the problem?
But since his big brother told him to shut up, he’d shut up.
The boss let out a sigh of relief when he saw his younger brother finally close his mouth.
The boss turned to Gu Jiaojiao and was just about to speak when he saw a man appear out of nowhere behind her.
The boss’s expression changed. He was about to warn the two men holding Gu Jiaojiao, but before he could, he saw them both get struck on the neck. An instant later, their bodies went limp and crumpled to the ground.
Gu Jiaojiao turned around to see Leng Yuan standing behind her. Her eyes immediately reddened, and she threw herself into his arms.
"I’m not hallucinating, am I? You’re really okay?"
Leng Yuan held his wife, rubbing her head with a gentle hand. His voice was soft and raspy. "I’m really okay. Don’t be afraid. When the landslide happened, I managed to grab a tree branch on the side of the slope."
Gu Jiaojiao looked him up and down, and after confirming that Leng Yuan was truly unharmed, she pointed at the traffickers.
"Honey, they were trying to drag me away! They were going to sell me to another man for money."
Leng Yuan’s sharp gaze shot toward them. The trafficker instinctively took a step back, but then, realizing his reaction, he grew furious with embarrassment.
He’d brought so many men with him. ’What the hell is there to be afraid of?’
"Get him! A big, strong guy like that... we could sell him to a family without a man to be their live-in son-in-law. He’d fetch a good price."
