Chapter 659: To Rescue or Not
“Let you go?” The dark-skinned short man who was holding Li Xueqing sneered. “Do you think we’re fools? If we let you go, you’ll call the police. The military zone’s just next door. We’ll be surrounded by a bunch of soldiers!”
As he spoke, he placed Li Xueqing on the ground.
Li Xueqing had been soaking in the water for a long time and her body was cold and stiff.
Now that she was on the ground, she instinctively wanted to get up and escape.
However, the moment she attempted to get up, a foot came down on her waist.
Li Xueqing shouted again, “Let me go, I won’t call for help. The person you’re supposed to be selling isn’t me, it’s Li Beinian. Save me someone!”
She fell onto the ground. The soil was mixed with dried branches and leaves, giving off the stench of after-rain. It stained her body and created a mess.
Li Xueqing screamed hysterically. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she struggled with all her might.
Li Beinian tensed up and subconsciously took a step back. She thought that Li Xueqing was just trying to lure her into this trap and play a prank on her.
According to how the team worked, if Yang Dawu and the rest could not find them, someone would come to look for them by nighttime, latest.
If it weren’t for Li Beinian being concerned that the girl might drown in the heavy rain, she wouldn’t have returned.
However, it was completely out of her expectations that Li Xueqing would employ the services of human traffickers!
It would even have been fine if these people only sold her off.
But most people wouldn’t just do that!
They might kill people, extract healthy organs, and sell these to people who needed to buy organs.
If she fell into their hands, she would, without doubt, die!
Li Beinian’s initial feelings of sympathy and willingness to rescue her immediately grew as cold as the rain that was pouring down.
Her heart sank.
The human traffickers laughed sinisterly and grabbed Li Xueqing’s hair. “I don’t care who you are. As long as I bring a girl back today. Whether you are the person or not, you can stop dreaming about going back to where you came from.”
Li Xueqing screamed and yelled, “You bastards! I spent so much money to employ your services, and you treat me like this…”
“Don’t worry, I’ll f*ck you later.” The man wiped his hands and said lewdly. He lifted Li Xueqing up and rubbed her body.
Immediately, he was gleeful and excited. “She’s too inexperienced. This is my first time playing with such a woman. Hahahaha!”
Li Beinian almost vomited in disgust. Just as she was about to turn around to get help, she saw Li Xueqing suddenly look up.
That pair of swollen eyes stared at her as the girl screamed hysterically, pointing in Li Beinian’s direction with her hands, “There’s someone there, get her!”
Li Beinian’s heart sank when she noticed Li Xueqing’s condition.
Then she cursed aloud when the four strong men look in her direction, “Damn it, Li Xueqing, what an idiot you are!”
Li Xueqing did not have much combat power, so it was obviously unrealistic for Li Beinian to deal with the four men alone.
Initially, she wanted to dash back to the camp to get help. Unexpectedly, not only had Li Xueqing spotted her, but created trouble and drew everyone’s attention to her.
Li Beinian’s scolding made Li Xueqing cry even louder. “You b*tch, don’t even think of escaping if I can’t. Let’s all die together!”
Two of the four human traffickers were already running towards Li Beinian.
Li Beinian turned around and dashed off.
The two men were not in the least bit slow. They shouted at Li Beinian, “Stop!”
“Damn it, she’s pretty fast!”
“We can’t let her escape. If she finds help, we’re done for!”
Seeing this, Li Xueqing struggled even harder.
She hit and bit the person who was carrying her, but even then, she made no headway with these human traffickers who were exposed to the elements every day.
Conversely, it only angered the men even more. They threw Li Xueqing into the trunk of the vehicle and gave her a tight slap. “Damn you, you b*tch, for bringing people to us!”
“Let’s go quickly. We have to hide them first. Otherwise, if Old Bull gets exposed and people come after him, we won’t get a single cent.”
Li Xueqing screamed shrilly, “You scum! Pervert! Beast!”
“Damn it, shut this woman up!”
The two of them worked together to subdue her. One of them found a rope and tied her up tightly before throwing her into the back of the vehicle.
Li Xueqing then realized that there were a few other women in the vehicle. Their tops were in a mess and they were half-naked.
When they saw the two men, they appeared frightened and curled up in the corner of the vehicle.
Li Xueqing realized that their legs were covered in bruises and there were also slap marks on their faces.
The air was filled with the stench of stale blood and the sounds of despair.
The other person found a few rags and stuffed them into Li Xueqing’s mouth.
“F*ck, my underwear!”
“Tsk tsk, you’re lucky. Just take it that she ate you. Hurry, let’s go!”
Li Xueqing retched and her instinct told her that she had to escape. However, the door slammed shut and darkness engulfed the space.
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The rainwater hit the old metal roof of the vehicle, creating a cheap and rickety sound.
Li Xueqing was curled up in a corner, drenched and shivering from the cold. Hearing the desperate cries around her, she couldn’t take it anymore and slammed her head repeatedly against the wall of the vehicle.
However, these human traffickers seemed to have anticipated that some of them would seek death and actually stuck foam pads on those walls.
She tried a few other walls, but even the hope of seeking death was dashed.
Now she lay in the middle of the vehicle compartment, curled up and shivering uncontrollably. She felt so helpless that even crying was meaningless.
Help, help!
Li Beinian had been performing physical activities all day and was already exhausted.
She had no idea how long she had been running, but the two human traffickers behind her were not to be trifled with either. They were closing in on her.
One of them cursed, “Damn, this woman is really aggressive. She’s running so damn fast!”
“B*tch, stop right there!”
Li Beinian couldn’t take it anymore. As she got closer and closer to the center of the forest, she finally shouted, “Help!”
The human traffickers did not expect Li Beinian to start shouting after being silent for so long.
Only then did they realize… Damn it, she was trying to save her energy!
Li Beinian panted heavily as she ran, but she did not dare to relax. “Help! Help!”
She did not know how many people were left in the forest, but the forest was huge.
She did not feel it when she entered, but at this point, the spaciousness of the woods made her despair.
Li Beinian shouted a few more times, but there was only silence all around.
The terrain was rather rough after the rain. Li Beinian ran until her legs were numb. Suddenly, she saw a huge mud pit.
Her eyes were sharp and she sprinted towards the mud pit.
The great force when the soles of her shoes stepped on the dead branches and leaves caused mud to splash everywhere.
The mud flew and splashed onto the face of one of the human traffickers behind her, causing him to curse aloud.
However, right after that, she heard the sound of water splashing and another filthy round of swearing.
Then the sound of footsteps gradually faded, as if she’s put some distance between herself and the waterhole.
However, Li Beinian did not dare to look back. She shouted at the top of her lungs again, “Help! Help!”
When the two human traffickers saw how this was turning out, they looked at each other and said, “Something’s not right. We’re getting further and further away. This woman looks fair and delicate, but she’s wearing a military uniform!”
“Let’s not chase her anymore. Let’s go back quickly! It’ll be troublesome if she should manage to get help!”
The two of them reached a consensus and quickly ran away.
Li Beinian was dizzy from running and had no idea what was happening behind her.
Finally, after another weak shout, she received a response. “What’s going on!”
It was… Yang Dawu’s voice!
Spurred on by the response, Li Beinian found renewed energy and ran forward.
Finally, when she saw a figure in a military-green raincoat, she lost all her energy and fell to her knees.
Yang Dawu was here to search for the missing team members.
Shocked to see Li Beinian in this state, he quickly dashed forward. “What’s going on, what’s wrong?”
Li Beinian looked as though she was about to faint. Her muscles were tense.
At the sound of his voice, she gasped heavily and her vision turned dark.
Yang Dawu could tell at a glance that Li Beinian was exhausted.
After a while, she recovered and said weakly, “Someone, someone’s after me…”
Yang Dawu knitted his thick and dark eyebrows upon hearing these words. “Who’s coming after you?”
“Human… human trafficker, there are human traffickers out there…”
Yang Dawu was stunned. He took out his pager and said, “Ma Lin, Ma Lin, come in!”
Li Beinian let go of the heavy burden in her heart and laid flat on the wet ground, turning her face towards the light rain falling from above.
The surroundings were still dark. Li Xueqing’s words were like a lingering haze that shrouded Li Beinian’s mind.
Ma Lin’s voice came over the pager. “Roger that.”
Yang Dawu said, “I found Li Beinian. And made a huge discovery…”
Her ears buzzed and Li Beinian felt dizzy.
It was obvious that these human traffickers were repeat offenders. They were familiar with doing such things and were filthy and disgusting!
Imagine the despair of any girl who fell into their hands.
Li Beinian knew very well that if she told Yang Dawu about Li Xueqing’s situation now and someone came to her rescue, Li Xueqing might be saved.
However, she knew very well that if she hadn’t been on guard, she would have been the one who was taken away…
Now, she had two choices before her – to say it or not?
Or putting it another way… should she rescue Li Xueqing, or not?
