CHAPTER 368: CHAPTER 368: SAVED

Sister Man handed a piece of paper to Xiao Nuan, "I don’t want to say anything unnecessary. Look at the prices here. You’re new, so you can choose."

Xiao Nuan’s eyes fell on the paper. She took it with trembling hands.

It was a price list.

Seeing the contents on it, Xiao Nuan felt a chill all over her body.

"People who come here are all looking to make money!

Think carefully. The price is not low at all!

It’s much more than you could earn working your fingers to the bone in a factory!"

Sister Man kept smiling as she looked at Xiao Nuan, appearing very kind.

Only those who had stayed there for a long time gave Sister Man a dull glance. They had spent enough time with Sister Man to know that there wasn’t a single good person here!

After speaking to Xiao Nuan, Sister Man stood up.

She walked to the door and shouted loudly, "Those working night shifts tonight, gather downstairs now!"

Hearing Sister Man’s voice, several girls came out of their rooms and slowly walked downstairs.

As they walked down the stairs, they moved very slowly, step by step.

They didn’t dare to walk quickly, afraid that fast movement would disrupt their plans prematurely.

Xiao Nuan sat alone on the bed, tears eventually falling down.

She was filled with immense regret, she shouldn’t have ignored the boss lady’s advice.

She shouldn’t have ignored the advice of that police officer.

So many people had warned her, why... why did she insist on coming down the mountain, only to be deceived and end up here.

She wanted to earn money, to make it on her own without relying on others’ charity, but why? Why was she deceived and brought here as soon as she left!

Why was that Li Qing so bad!

Wasn’t he also from the school for the deaf and mute? Why do they deceive people, don’t they have any compassion?

"Ah ah..."

Xiao Nuan’s shoulder was patted. She looked up to see a woman with a large belly, looking at her gently, gesturing with her hands.

Xiao Nuan looked at her gestures and immediately understood she was also a deaf-mute.

She quickly asked, "Were you also introduced here by Li Qing?"

The woman nodded and continued gesturing, "I came last year, don’t be afraid."

Xiao Nuan quickly gestured, "You came last year? So you haven’t gone home all this time?"

"No, they said I could go home after I give birth."

Xiao Nuan looked at her prominent belly and asked, "How many months pregnant are you?"

"Eight months, I’m about to give birth soon."

Xiao Nuan looked around, there were three more people in the room, all lying silently on their beds reading, not speaking.

The two communicated silently with gestures, while the room was quietly still.

No, not just the room was quietly still, the whole villa was quietly still...

Xiao Nuan felt somewhat hopeless, feeling that she might not be able to get out.

In the afternoon, the villa’s front door was opened.

Upon hearing the sound from below, Xiao Nuan immediately ran out and stood on the stairs, looking down.

Directly, she saw Li Qing bringing in another girl, about twenty-something years old.

She watched as the girl looked around curiously. Xiao Nuan wanted to open her mouth and tell her to run away, but she dared not.

The next second, the girl downstairs seemed to sense the gaze from above. She looked up and met Xiao Nuan’s eyes.

Xiao Nuan opened her mouth, her face looking anxious, mouthing silently, "Run... run..."

Seeing Xiao Nuan’s lip movements, the girl downstairs flashed a dark look but smiled at Xiao Nuan and looked away.

Watching as the girl downstairs looked elsewhere, Xiao Nuan’s face darkened.

Soon, Sister Man came out, smiling widely as she led the new girl upstairs.

...

He Qi’an had not left Sha City, though he was nowhere to be seen during the day.

Three days later, in the villa, Xiao Nuan was pushed onto the operating table.

The previous night, she had been given a night injection.

Among those with her were three other people, one of whom was the sister who had arrived that afternoon.

Xiao Nuan was first. She lay on the cold operating table, humiliated as she was undressed and changed into surgical scrubs, with nothing underneath...

"Don’t be nervous, relax."

A nurse said gently.

Then the nurse began conducting an examination on her.

"There are two, they look quite good," the nurse said, looking at the screen.

A man approached slowly, putting on gloves.

"Only two? Then there’s no need for anesthesia, just extract directly."

Nurse: "Okay."

"Relax, don’t worry, I’ll clean you now."

The doctor smiled as he listened to the nurse, "Nurse Zhang is always gentle, indeed."

Nurse Zhang paused, smiling silently.

She wasn’t gentle; she just pitied these girls...

Just as the doctor picked up a long extracting needle, noise suddenly erupted from outside the door.

The doctor and nurse immediately looked at the monitor in the corner, seeing a group of police officers bursting in to arrest people.

"Police!"

Nurse Zhang looked terrified, and the doctor panicked too.

They immediately put down what they were holding and didn’t even glance at the surgical bed as they rushed to a small door.

The door was small, designed for a quick escape in case of a police raid.

The doctor pushed the nurse aside, swiftly opened the door, and was the first to run out.

Nurse Zhang lagged behind, no longer gentle, her face twisted in anger as she watched the doctor run ahead.

"Ah! Help..."

"Don’t move, stay put..."

The commotion from the villa behind left Nurse Zhang no time for anger as she quickly ran out.

The police had arrived, and she needed to escape fast!

She had kids, family, she couldn’t be caught because it would be the end of her if she was!

The doctor who had escaped ahead already understood the consequences of being caught, so despite his heavy build, he ran quickly.

However, the police had set up a thorough net; there was no way they could escape.

When doing bad things, one should imagine one’s own end result.

Xiao Nuan lay trembling on the operating table, not knowing what was happening, too scared to move.

When the doctor and nurse left, she was bewildered.

"This way!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

"Xiao Nuan, don’t be afraid, it’s okay now."

Xiao Nuan looked up and saw the girl who had arrived on the same day she had. Observing her, she helped her off the operating table.

"Stay here and don’t move. The police have come, you’ve been saved." The girl finished speaking and turned her gaze to the room.

The police had already found the small door and immediately opened it, chasing outside.

The girl wanted to follow but was tightly held by Xiao Nuan.

She could feel Xiao Nuan’s trembling body, glanced at the open small door, sighed internally, and helped Xiao Nuan walk outside.

"Don’t be afraid; the bad guys have already been caught."

Walking out of the room, Xiao Nuan saw everyone squatting in the hall.

That Sister Man, those frightening strong men...

At the moment, they were all squatting on the ground with terrified expressions, holding their heads.
