?Chapter 25: 25 Unlucky Ones Chapter 25: 25 Unlucky Ones They hadn’t reached the supply and marketing cooperative yet when they saw a crowd of people gathered on the road ahead.
“…He’s a liar, someone please call the police for me.
I don’t know him at all; I am the daughter of the Textile Factory Director, not this man’s niece…”
Qin Suqing struggled to break free but could not loosen the grip of the man holding her arm; her expression grew panicked.
The man’s eyes flickered with a cold glint, yet his face showed sorrow, and he said earnestly,
“My dear niece, it’s right that you want to live a good life, but you can’t just deny your parents.
Running away from home doesn’t sound good; it’s not good for you either.
Come back home with your uncle, your parents may be poor but they treasure you, putting you first in everything.
They have made you beautiful clothes, they have spent money to find you a job.
Dahua, one can’t lose their conscience! You could be struck by lightning…”
The surrounding crowd started to look at Qin Suqing differently.
“Young lady, you can’t despise the poor and love the rich! Your parents raised you, how is this any different from an ungrateful wolf?”
“Right, hurry up and go back with your uncle, being headstrong isn’t the way to act.”
“Looking at your new clothes and shoes, your parents must treat you well, you should be grateful!”
…
People blabbered on, and Qin Suqing felt like she was about to cry out of desperation.
It was her first time encountering such a situation, and she was at a complete loss.
She felt weak all over, and her heart was filled with overwhelming fear.
“No, that’s not it, I don’t know this man at all.
This person isn’t my uncle, my uncle isn’t even here.
My father is the Textile Factory Director, please, I’m begging you, help me find the police!”
The man’s expression remained unchanged, but his face looked even more sorrowful.
“Dahua, your uncle is begging you to stop being willful, your mother has been hospitalized because of you, come and see her with me…”
This was said with such heartfelt sorrow that it easily deceived the onlookers.
“This young lady has been spoiled rotten.
Her uncle, I see she won’t walk with you.
If you’re in such a hurry, you might as well knock her out and take her away!”
“Yes, there are urgent ways to handle urgent matters, don’t waste time…”
…
“This…”
The man looked troubled, glanced at Qin Suqing with a look of reluctance as if he truly couldn’t bear to see his niece suffer.
Only Qin Suqing could see the cruelty and coldness in his eyes.
So she struggled hard, crying out as she did, “He’s a trafficker, I don’t know him at all, why won’t any of you believe me?
My dad’s name is Qin Minsheng, my mom’s name is Feng Hui, and my name is Qin Suqing; I’m not the Dahua he’s talking about.
Please, someone, call the police for me!”
The man, with the bearing of a Best Actor, cried out bitterly, “Dahua, I’m begging you to stop lying.
You’ve lied to your parents, your brothers and sisters, your grandparents…
You’re still lying after running away. How did you become someone who lies so much? I’m so disappointed in you!”
As he spoke, tears flowed on cue, convincing the onlookers.
The crowd now even more believed him and encouraged the man to knock Qin Suqing out and take her away.
This girl was causing too much trouble, and moreover, she was too unruly.
If not taken back for a proper education, she might well become a danger to society!
As Qin Suqing saw the man’s descending hand, her heart sank into despair.
She couldn’t believe that under the broad daylight, these traffickers dared to be so brazen.
Especially the people around her, their zeal was like a knife in the hands of the traffickers.
Lin Tang had just walked over and saw two sly-looking men and women whispering to each other up ahead.
Just as she was about to slip into the crowd to see what was happening, she overheard—
“How long does Hei Ge plan to mess around? Just knock that stinking girl out and take her away, right?” the woman said with a grim face.
“What if dragging it out causes problems?”
The other man’s eyes rolled, “Hei Ge knows what he’s doing; he won’t make a mistake. Just watch, he’s about to make his move.”
As soon as Lin Tang heard the pair’s conversation,
These were the trafficker’s accomplices, weren’t they?
And she had no idea what her classmate had done to get their attention.
Lin Tang gently tapped the woman’s shoulder.
“What do you want?” the woman turned her head and snapped. Sёar?h the Novel?ire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Lin Tang: I want to beat you up!
Upon seeing Lin Tang’s beautiful face, the woman’s eyes brightened instantly.
Another beauty!
This was going to be a big score.
Thinking of the money she was about to make, a glint of greed flashed in the woman’s eyes.
It was just a moment before she quickly switched expressions, turning her malevolence into apparent kindness.
“What’s the matter, young lady? Are you looking for directions? I’m well-acquainted with the county; what would you like to ask?”
As she spoke, she gave her accomplice a covert glance.
Lin Tang noticed it but didn’t say anything.
She pretended to be oblivious and shyly asked, “I’m trying to find the supply and marketing cooperative, do you know where it is?”
The woman, thinking that the young lady before her was a naive sweetheart, looked down on her a bit.
“I know it well; my spouse and I were actually on our way there too. We were just delayed here by this spectacle.
It’s just a naive young lady who ran away from home, her folks are worried sick. There’s nothing to see here. I’ll take you to the supply and marketing cooperative.”
Of course, Lin Tang knew the woman was lying, but she didn’t mind.
“Sure, let’s go.”
So they set off toward the supply and marketing cooperative.
The couple walked ahead, hardly concealing their glee.
Lin Tang silently followed behind, her expression unchanged.
As the two led her into a side alley, she followed.
Just as they left the sight of the crowd,
The man quickly turned around, blocking the entrance to the alley.
He looked at Lin Tang with a vicious expression, “Since you followed us here, don’t expect to leave.”
Lin Tang was somewhat surprised by their straightforward manner.
After she caught on, she said with a smile,
“Seeing how adept you are at this, you must have done a lot of evil. Well then, I won’t hold back.”
With that—
She kicked the man with all her might.
With a ‘crack’, the man’s leg was broken by her kick.
“…Ah…” He screamed in agony and fainted from the pain.
The woman had yet to realize what happened when her partner was already done for.
Suddenly panicking, she knew this girl was not to be trifled with.
Then, she tried to run.
But how could Lin Tang, who detested human traffickers with a passion, let her escape?
She tripped the woman with an outstretched leg, then stepped on her ankle, breaking it.
That wasn’t enough.
She forcefully slapped the back of the woman’s neck.
The woman didn’t even get a chance to scream before she too passed out.

Meanwhile,
In the crowd,
As the trafficker man sorrowfully swung towards Qin Suqing’s nape, a sharp stone flew at him.
It cut across his palm.
“Ah…” The man screamed in pain.
Seeing the approaching Lin Tang, his eyes were filled with malice.
“You’re fucking asking for it!”
Lin Tang spoke coldly, “Committing kidnapping in broad daylight, it looks like you’re dancing on your own graves! When did traffickers become so arrogant…”
Qin Suqing, seeing Lin Tang, brightened up and took advantage of the trafficker’s distraction to push him aside and ran to Lin Tang’s side.
