Chapter 113 You Have a Bright Future
Ye Xiaoxiao remained unmoved. The more pitifully the woman in front of her cried, the more hateful she was!
She knew very well that this kind of person would never repent; such was the weakness of human nature.
"Save what you have to say for the officers!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion arose at the entrance of the alley. Four or five soldiers walked into the alley, followed by several beggars.
Cuihua looked at the newcomer, her triangular eyes filled with fear, and she unconsciously shrank back. Then she roared almost frantically, "Er Mazi, you damned coward, where have you been? Huh?! Get your ass out here right now!"
"Ah Jing, go and drag that person out." Ye Xiaoxiao looked down at Cuihua, who was almost collapsing to the ground, intending to provoke her further.
He Jing turned around and went into the house. He easily lifted Er Mazi, who was tied up tightly. Just as he was about to step out the door, he saw a flash of silver light in the hand of the woman lying on the ground.
"careful!"
In a flash, he moved with lightning speed, throwing away the heavy object in his hand and running quickly. He grabbed Ye Xiaoxiao firmly and pulled her backward, kicking her to the ground. The dagger in her hand slipped from her grasp and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Seeing that the woman still had weapons, the soldiers rushed forward, grabbed Cuihua, and picked up the unconscious Er Mazi, intending to return to report.
"Xiao Xiao, are you alright?"
He Jing's usually cold and aloof expression softened with worry. He looked Ye Xiaoxiao up and down, as if afraid she might be hurt.
"It's alright, don't worry, it's just a little tear in my clothes, it's nothing serious. We should go find Ah Yang first."
One of the leading constables was named Zhou Quan, who recognized Ye Xiaoxiao. He had previously taken his mother to Wujitang for treatment.
Does Dr. Ye have some kind of entanglement with these two people?
Despite his doubts, he still politely stepped forward and asked, "Dr. Ye, are you alright?"
Ye Xiaoxiao shook his head. He knew the man's doubts and said, "These two are human traffickers. Please interrogate them carefully, sir. My sister was in their hands before, and now her whereabouts are unknown. We still need to go and find her."
She glanced at Cuihua Ermazi, who was being held captive by the others, and said, "If you need anything, sir, you can come to Wuji Hall to find me."
The criminal will be tried in court, and the yamen will naturally summon witnesses.
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao's composure and cautiousness, Zhou Quan couldn't help but admire her. He then ordered two of his men to help Ye Xiaoxiao and her group search for the person, while he led the others back to report.
Before leaving, he patted the oldest little beggar on the shoulder and teased, "You're a good kid! You have a bright future ahead of you!"
The little beggar's name was Yan Xiaoqi. The eleven or twelve-year-old boy scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassedly. He had been afraid that the constables wouldn't come, so he lied to them and said that there was a fight here and that someone was about to die.
I didn’t expect that what I said would come true.
Ye Xiaoxiao was wondering why the officials had arrived so promptly, but seeing this, she realized that it was the little beggars who had helped her.
"Thank you all. I'll treat you to something delicious another day."
No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard several footsteps behind him.
"Sister-in-law! Big brother!"
He Wuyang's surprised yet aggrieved voice came from behind.
Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she turned around to see the little girl running towards her.
She ran forward and hugged the little girl tightly in her arms.
"Ah Yang! That's great! I'm so glad you're alright." As she spoke, Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes welled up with tears, and she burst into tears of joy.
The little girl finally saw her family. The fear and grievances she had been holding back for so long burst forth as if she had found an outlet. She hugged Ye Xiaoxiao's waist and started to wail.
"Sister-in-law—I thought I'd never see you again! I almost didn't see you again—waaaaaaah!"
Ye Xiaoxiao gently patted the little girl's back and comforted her, "It's alright now. Your sister-in-law won't let you be in danger again. Be good, let's go home."
