Chapter 357: Not A Single Lie
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ming Yu didn’t expect Su Ying’s skills to be so formidable. She struggled to break free, but Su Ying’s hands and feet were like iron pincers. She pinned Ming Yu against the wall so firmly that she was unable to move at all.
“Madam, please spare my life. Madam, please spare my life… I was also forced to do this. If I didn’t do so, those people would take my life.”
“Oh? You were coerced?” There was no emotion in Su Ying’s voice.
“Yes, yes. I was coerced. They threatened me. If I didn’t do as they said, they would… would kill my younger sister. My younger sister is still in their hands. She’s… she’s locked up in this house. Please save her, Madam.”
Su Ying glanced at the house and the corners of her lips curled up. “Alright. I’ll save her.”
When she saw that Su Ying had agreed, Ming Yu kowtowed profusely. “Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam.”
“Just do what you should be doing as usual.”
“Alright, alright.”
Su Ying released her hand, and Ming Yu straightened her dress before walking to the courtyard gate and knocking on it.
Before long, a response came from inside the courtyard. “Who is it?”
Ming Yu glanced at Su Ying and said softly, “It’s me. Open the gate.”
After a while, the courtyard gate was opened and a thin old woman appeared.
The old woman glanced at Su Ying. There was not much change in her cloudy eyes but they seemed somewhat dulled. She moved her body aside to let them enter the courtyard.
“Why are you back so late?”
Ming Yu’s eyes were a little evasive. Her gaze swept around the courtyard before she said, “I encountered something.”
As the old woman spoke, she locked the courtyard gate from the inside.
“What thing?”
Ming Yu’s expression suddenly changed. She quickly backed away and said sternly, “We have encountered a tough guy. What are you waiting for? Come out quickly up and take her down!”
Ming Yu yelled out loud, and the people hiding in the courtyard rushed out at once.
Su Ying glanced sideways. Weren’t these guys the same boorish men who had chased Ming Yu on the street just now?
The boorish men glared at Su Ying like tigers eyeing their prey.
“Capture her.” Upon hearing Ming Yu’s order, the boorish men lunged at Su Ying one after another.
Su Ying turned around and punched the boorish man leading the charge in the face.
The boorish man felt dizzy and his vision turned black. His body then went limp and he fell to the ground.
Su Ying didn’t give the rest a chance to react. In the blink of an eye, she knocked six boorish men to the ground with a single punch each.
Ming Yu looked at the boorish men who had fallen to the ground in shock. If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have believed that a seemingly delicate woman could actually defeat so many boorish men in such a short period!
Su Ying’s gaze swept over the boorish men before she walked up to one of them and retrieved the 50 taels silver note from his pocket.
At first, when they appeared, she thought that they were enacting an act of kidnapping girls from the street. However, after taking a look, she realized that those boorish men were actually secretly observing Ming Yu’s expression.
These people were all in the same group. Su Ying felt bored, so she decided to toy with them.
“Thank you, Madam. Thank you for saving me. My younger sister is locked in the firewood shed at the back. I will go save her now.” Ming Yu came back to her senses and turned around to flee.
Su Ying flicked up a stone from the ground and kicked it at Ming Yu.
“Argh!”
Ming Yu cried out in pain and fell to the ground clumsily.
She turned around in horror and saw that Su Ying was already behind her.
“Madam, Madam, spare me. Madam, spare me…”
Su Ying yanked her up from the ground with one hand. “How many people have you guys captured using such underhanded methods?”
Ming Yu’s eyes flickered as she forced herself to say, “No, none…”
“Hmm?” Su Ying released her hand and her icy cold fingertips landed on the top of Ming Yu’s head. “You are not going to tell the truth?”
Ming Yu felt her scalp go numb, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
“They are all in the cellar. They are all hidden in the cellar.”
The old woman standing at the side suddenly said in a leaden voice.
Su Ying gestured with a twist of her neck. “Lead the way.”
The old woman walked towards the cellar in the back courtyard. Su Ying followed her as she dragged Ming Yu behind her.
The cellar was hidden in the firewood shed. After the old woman walked into the firewood shed, she pulled away the firewood in the firewood shed and revealed an opening.
“All of them are inside.”
The old woman turned to look at Su Ying.
Su Ying grabbed Ming Yu’s hair and dragged her to the entrance of the opening. She then looked at the old woman. “You go down there and bring everyone up.”
The old woman nodded and obediently climbed down the wooden ladder descending into the pitch-black darkness.
Before long, sounds of crying burst out from inside.
One by one, the women in sorry states climbed out of the cellar.
Su Ying looked at the women climbing up one by one. They ranged from seven or eight years old to seventeen or eighteen years old. There were actually as many as 20 of them.
Looking at the clothes on their bodies, the girls came from both poor and rich families. These guys were really not picky about their targets.
When the women had climbed up, they looked at Su Ying with fear in their eyes. All of them had some injuries of some sort, so they must have been beaten up quite a bit.
“All of you were captured by them?”
The women looked at Su Ying and nodded. “Yes, yes. It’s this woman. She tricked us into coming here.”
“Madam, I… 1 was also forced to do this. Madam, please spare my life. Madam, please spare my life…”
“Didn’t you say that your younger sister is inside? Tell me. Which one is your sister?”
Ming Yu choked and became speechless.
Su Ying gave a scornful sneer and then looked at the old woman. “How long have these people been here?”
The old woman said, “The earliest one has been here for seven or eight days. The latest one came yesterday. These days, they will send the girls away every half a month.”
“Where are they sent to?”
The old woman shook her head. “Only those people know.”
Su Ying lowered her eyes and saw Ming Yu glaring viciously at the old woman.
Su Ying slapped Ming Yu in the eye. In that instant, Ming Yu felt as if her eyeb.a.l.l.s were going to explode.
“Looks like they are an organization and worked in gangs.”
Su Ying threw the woman to the ground and her tone sounded quite impatient. “Are you going to tell me the truth, or do you want to taste the pain of the flesh first?”
Ming Yu’s eyes flickered and her lips trembled as if she was considering whether she should tell the truth.
Before she could figure it out, she felt a chill on her back. She suddenly shuddered and said,” I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you everything. 1 beg Madam to spare me. Some… someone comes to collect them. They come once every half a month and pay according to the quality.”
“How do you contact those people?”
Ming Yu shook her head. “I don’t know. They come to us on their own. We have no way of contacting them at all.”
Su Ying squatted down and looked straight into her eyes. “Not a single lie?”
Ming Yu’s terrified face was reflected in Su Ying’s bright eyes. “None… none. I swear that I have not spoken a single lie.”
Su Ying stood up and turned her gaze to the women. She looked at the girl who was curled up in the corner. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old and had a calmer expression than the rest. “You, come out.”
The young woman raised her head with a baffled expression when she heard the command. Her eyes were still wary. “Madam… Madam, are you talking to me?”
“Yes. I’m talking to you..”
