My Youth Began With Him

“It wasn’t me. I know nothing about it.”“You’re still denying it? Who else would do it? Damned woman, I knew you’d ruin my deal. I’ll kill you today.”

Then the man began to beat the woman.

At this moment, the guys following them here stopped him.

“Rong, stop it now. We must find her first. If the buyer comes and we can’t deliver the stock, we’ll be finished. We’ll ruin our reputation and Fourth Master Fang won’t forgive us.”

“Right. We must find her first. Erdan, send for more people to search for her. The woman is pregnant and can’t go far.”

“Okay.”

The men began to search for Huo Mian.

Finding out that they hid the van in the long-haul truck, Qin Chu tracked them down with the help of surveillance cameras and found the van had stopped near Kaoshan Town.

Without a word, he raced toward Kaoshan Town by himself despite the police officers’ advice to not to.

To reach the town sooner, he even bought a white Audi R8 at the local dealer and raced toward the town.

In fact, Huo Mian didn’t go far since she was carrying a baby in her.

She had intended to go to the local police station and ask the police officers to take her out of here.

But then she decided against the idea, afraid those people who offered big money to buy her would kill the officers, too.

Besides, the cops in this remote place might be working with the local gangs.

She had heard the name Fourth Master Fang many times from the man and the woman; if the cops were colluding with Fourth Master Fang, she’d be delivering herself into their hands.

After careful consideration, Huo Mian didn’t take the risk to leave Kaoshan Town; instead, she found a farmer’s house in the town and sought shelter.

To avoid unnecessary questions, she selected a house with only an old lady inside.

She told the old lady that she came to the town to see her relatives but didn’t find them. It was dark, so she wanted to find a place to stay for the night.

Obviously, the old lady lived alone in the dilapidated house, and no one would pay attention to such a place.

“Grandma, I don’t have money on me. When my family comes to pick me up, I’ll have them pay you, okay?”

“You don’t have to pay. It’s not easy for a pregnant woman to move around. Stay here tonight and you can leave on a bus tomorrow morning.”

The old lady was kind and didn’t want to take money from Huo Mian.

Huo Mian had no cash on her since the human traffickers took all her money.

“Thank you, Grandma.”

“Are you hungry? I can cook something for you.”

“Let me do it, Grandma.” Huo Mian rolled up her sleeves to enter the kitchen.

“Don’t bother. Look at your tender hands. I know you’re a city girl and are not used to country life. We use big pots here and need to set a fire first. Wait here while I make some noodles for you.”

Refusing Huo Mian’s help, the old lady went to cook a bowl of noodles for her.

The old lady was very poor, living in an ancient mud house with crude furniture.

Standing in the house, Huo Mian looked out of the window alertly, afraid those guys would come here.

“Grandma, where can I find a phone here?” Huo Mian asked.

“Phone? Do you mean the ones that look like big bricks?” Obviously, the old lady wasn’t familiar with cellphones.

“Yeah. The kind that you can carry around. Cellphone,” Huo Mian said with hand gestures.

She wanted to call Qin Chu and tell him she was out of danger for the time being.
