The door was locked and Amelia Bright was locked inside the house alone. She looked at the four walls and a sealed window and couldn’t believe what had happened to her.
Human trafficking?
Who had such a grudge against her that they would do such a thing to kill her?
And this loop is so fine, from the brake failure on the mountain road, to her borrowing a villager’s home was trafficked, this is not intended to leave her alive.
Outside the window, the middle-aged man who kidnapped her is still exchanging pleasantries with the buyer, who seems to be negotiating the price.
She took the dagger Farren Austin had left for her from her pocket, cut the rope around her body and got out of bed, circled Chambers and finally hid in an old closet in the corner.
Farren Austin said that Adjutant Xun will come to pick her up at dawn, when Adjutant Xun can not find her people, naturally will go to the nearby village inside looking for people, as long as you can delay until that time is enough.
“Uncle Zhang go slowly ah, wait for the family wedding reception in two days must come ah.”
Outside the house came the sound of the buyer’s old man sending off his guests, and not long after, a door opening sounded.
“Hey? Where is everyone?”
“Look for them, they must still be in the house.”
“The closet, the closet.”
Amelia Bright gripped her dagger tightly and saw a figure approaching through a gap in the closet.
The moment the closet door opened, she stabbed the dagger in her hand with barely any hesitation.
The man was very thin and did not react at once, his shoulder hit the dagger hard and he cried out in agony, and was pounced on the ground by Amelia Bright.
Amelia Bright, although hard, but ultimately a woman, not strong enough, directly by the man overturned to the ground, her face received a hard slap, hit her eyes, almost fainted.
“Bitch.”
The man also hit hard, the old couple came up and dragged and scolded, “Do not hit her, she is bought at a great price, your daughter-in-law, and then killed this one where you can find.”
“She is going to kill me, father, mother, you do not see ah, this woman can not want.”
As she spoke, Amelia Bright drew her knife quickly, and in an instant the man’s shoulder was bleeding like water.
He felt the pain as an afterthought, and after kicking Amelia Bright away he drew back a breath of cold air and screamed miserably.
“Father, father, quickly look at my arm …”
The man covered the upper half of his shoulder was almost red with blood, and fell in pain in the arms of his old mother.
Amelia Bright, on the other hand, flew to the corner, back against the wall, one hand wiped the blood from the corner of the mouth, holding the dagger and rushed to the family of three in front of him viciously said.
“If you dare to touch me, I will fight you to the death, I am a person who died once, this life is nothing to me.”
When his son was injured, the old man was furious and grabbed a stick and hit Amelia Bright with it.
“You bitch, I’m not going to let you go even if I kill you.”
“Bang!”
A gunshot suddenly came from outside the house, breaking the entire dead silence of the night.
The old man held up his stick before he could drop it, and was held down and dragged by the big men who came in through the fish. The old woman cried out to protect her son, but the men came without ceremony and dragged both of them out.
The east is white, the sky is gradually dawn.
Amelia Bright looked at the door of the room, backlit by the sun, the man’s military boots on the threshold, ignoring the family being dragged out, approached her, extending a hand to
“Is everything okay? Are you hurt?”
Amelia Bright froze for a long time, staring blankly at the man in front of her, and after looking at him for a while, she finally ran out of energy and fainted before her eyes.
When she woke up she was already in the car, the car was parked halfway up the mountain, through the car window could see the eighteen curves of the mountain road below, the greenery, the scenery was beautiful, everything last night seemed to be a dream.
She moved her arms and was about to pull open the door to get out of the car when she suddenly heard the voices of Farren Austin and Adjutant Xun talking from the back of the car.
“Sir, the human trafficking den inside the village has been closed, all the leaders have been arrested, together with the list of officers involved in the town police station, sent to the newspaper.”
“Organize the evidence and don’t spare any of the villagers involved.”
“Yes, that shot on those photos, Mrs. Does not need to do some processing?”
“…”
“I know, I will talk to the side of the judicial review, will not expose the identity of the wife.”
“…”
For a moment, Amelia Bright’s hand holding the car door was suddenly a little weak.
Not long after, things seemed to be dealt with, Adjutant Xun assisted Farren Austin to the car.
Seeing Amelia Bright sitting upright, Adjutant Xun froze for a moment.
“When did madam wake up?”
Amelia Bright’s face was sullen and cold, and she stared directly at Farren Austin.
“Waking up very early, as you speak.”
The atmosphere in the car froze for a moment.
Farren Austin’s face did not change.
“The mountains are still a three hour drive from here, you can sleep a little longer and Adjutant Xun and I will drop you off.”
“I wouldn’t dare ask you for a ride, I don’t know how many more of these human trafficking villages are along the way, how many more times are you going to use me to get credit?”
Farren Austin’s speed in bringing people here is comparable to that of a godsend, plus just listening to the two of them talking, it is obvious that they have already sent people to keep an eye on this village before, just have been suffering from the lack of evidence to arrest people.
Her arrival is an opportunity for him.
At these words, Adjutant Xun’s face outside the car door changed, “Madam, you misunderstood, this is not …”
“I don’t think I misunderstood, you dare say you didn’t know beforehand that I would be kidnapped?”
“Think what you will.”
Farren Austin had no intention of explaining, “Adjutant Xun, get in the car and take her to the mountains.”
“No need.”
Amelia Bright pushed the door open and got out of the car, speaking harshly to the car.
“You don’t have to pretend, I know you don’t take me seriously, you saved me on the mountain road because you wanted your broken shell necklace, all this evidence and stuff, consider it a favor I returned to you, so I don’t want you to care about my trip to the mountains.”
Farren Austin’s brow furrowed, “What are you babbling about? Get in the car.”
“No need!”
Amelia Bright was really pissed off, and she walked towards the mountain road without looking back, “I’m just going to walk and I don’t need your help.”
Whatever happened to the brakes not working, and whatever happened to someone trying to sell her.
One thing she could be sure of was that she would be kidnapped and trafficked if she stayed in the family’s home, something Farren Austin knew in advance.
She walked and cursed in her heart, cold-blooded animals, emotionless, liar, son of a bitch, turn the other cheek and deny it.
The tears came down as she cursed.
“Amelia Bright!”
Farren Austin’s dull voice rang out behind him, with a bit of anger, “Come back to the car, it’s dangerous on the mountain road.”
“I’m just not coming back, what do I have to do with you?”
Amelia Bright turned her back on him and puffed out, “It’s not as dangerous as being in a car with you, you could have watched me get sold, I wouldn’t dare go with you.”
“Don’t you want to hear who is actually going to harm you?”
