Chapter 736: Asking For Trouble
When Su Wan heard Xiao Meng’s explanation, her expression was extremely grave.
When Xiao Meng saw that Su Wan did not say anything, she subconsciously clenched her fists under her sleeves. She was so flustered that she did not know what to do.
After all, Su Wan was an outsider. It was already very kind of Su Wan to provide her with a place to stay. If Su Wan was not willing to lend her money, she did not know what to do either…
Xiao Meng gritted her teeth and tears fell from her face like rain.
“Sister, I’m begging you. I really have no other choice. That’s my brother…”
Su Wan saw Xiao Meng crying like a pear blossom. She was helpless against this face that resembled Lin Fei’er.
Her expression turned cold and she quickly took a few more tissues to wipe Xiao Meng’s tears.
“Do you still remember where you escaped from? As long as we know where your brother is, we can still choose to call the police and get the local guards to act…”
It was not that Su Wan did not want to borrow money. She just felt that Xiao Meng might have been too naive. Some human traffickers might not be willing to let you redeem them just because you paid them.
Xiao Meng was stunned when she heard that. Her body suddenly shrank and she slowly nodded.
“I do. It’s an attic nearby. There are many abducted women and children hiding there. There are also some people who looked like drug lords. They were so scary…”
Xiao Meng saw Su Wan’s serious expression and unconsciously revealed everything that she knew.
“Also… I vaguely heard them say that they will be moved by us in about four days. Now… I estimate that it will only be four days at most. My brother is so young, what should I do?!”
The more Xiao Meng thought about it, the more scared she became. Her brother’s name was Hu Zi. He was only five years old, and was very well-behaved and sensible.
If something were to happen to her brother, Xiao Meng would not be able to forgive herself.
There were still four days left…
When Su Wan heard this, she immediately let out a sigh of relief, and then her heart tightened. After all, Xiao Meng had just escaped secretly. Usually, this kind of criminal gang would change their location sooner.
Since Xiao Meng remembered the location, then things would turn for the better.
Su Wan reached out to stroke Xiao Meng’s head and comforted her slowly.
“Since you’re not from this place, I reckon that those criminals might come out to look for you. If they can’t find you in a day or two, they’ll consider moving.”
Su Wan paused and her voice was slightly cold. Her gentle voice was filled with anger that was difficult to conceal.
“People like them deserve to die for their crimes. In a while, I’ll go to the local police station and call the police. Don’t be afraid…”
As soon as Su Wan finished speaking, she quickly called the police station.
However, Su Wan did not use the term “human trafficker”. Instead, she said that a large group of people had been secretly gathering in the attic, that she suspected that there was an illegal transaction and that they might be gathering people to sell drugs.
Su Wan said this because she had her own considerations.
After all, there was still a lack of evidence regarding the human traffickers. Moreover, this place did not seem to prohibit the sale of human beings. As long as both parties agreed, it was not illegal.
It was difficult to prove that they were forcibly trafficked. Since Xiao Meng said that there were people selling drugs over there, Su Wan directly used this reason.
After the call ended, the police said that they would investigate it.
…
Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She reached out and rubbed Xiao Meng’s hair.
“Don’t worry. The police said that they will investigate tonight. Your brother will definitely be saved.”
Xiao Meng heard Su Wan’s comforting words and nodded timidly.
She remembered that she had bitten Su Wan twice. She could not help but feel a little guilty.
She pulled Su Wan’s arm nervously. Suddenly, she saw Su Wan’s arm, which was unusually white, and it did not match the color of the surrounding skin.
“This is –”
Xiao Meng was stunned, while Su Wan smiled slightly and kept pulling her sleeve up to her shoulder.
Her skin was fair and delicate above her elbow.
Seeing Xiao Meng’s mouth open in surprise, Su Wan burst into laughter.
“It’s not convenient for a girl to go out alone, so I used a little trick. You have to be careful when you go out in the future, okay?”
Xiao Meng nodded in a daze. There was some doubt in her eyes. Clearly, she still did not quite understand Su Wan.
The 15-16-year-old girl twisted her fingers and looked at Su Wan with anticipation.
“Sister, then can I see your original appearance?”
After putting on makeup, Su Wan’s entire body was very ordinary. Only her eyes were the most notable. When carefully looked at, they were like autumn water with ripples, making people feel as if their souls were being sucked in.
The reason why Xiao Meng had followed Su Wan back then was largely because Su Wan’s eyes were very clear. There was a special charm in her eyes that made Xiao Meng want to believe her.
When Su Wan heard Xiao Meng’s request, she could not help but be stunned.
However, because Xiao Meng’s facial features were too similar to Lin Fei’er’s, Su Wan suddenly did not want to reject her request.
“Alright, but you’re not allowed to tell anyone that you’ve seen me. If anyone asks about me, just pretend that you don’t know.”
Seeing Xiao Meng nod like a chick pecking on rice, Su Wan was relieved.
She took out a basin of warm water and used the simplest method to remove the boring makeup on her face.
Seeing Su Wan’s clean face, Xiao Meng was stunned and suddenly lost her focus.
Xiao Meng had always boasted that she was young and beautiful, far better than the girls she knew, but she did not expect Su Wan to be so good-looking.
She had just washed her face and did not wear any makeup, but she gave people an amazing feeling!
She had beautiful eyebrows, and the stars were in her eyes. Her hair was as black as ink, and her thin lips were as bright as cinnabar.
Su Wan was wearing an extremely simple long dress, but when she sat there, Xiao Meng felt that her eyes could no longer move away.
They were both girls, but when she saw Su Wan, she knew what it meant to be so beautiful that it swayed one’s heart.
“Are you dumbfounded?”
Su Wan looked at the dazed look on Xiao Meng’s face and could not help but shake her head with a laugh.
It was good to be young. Every movement was so clear and bright. It made her feel a lot better.
Su Wan sighed lightly. She then put a layer of black powder on her face and deliberately emphasized some unpleasant features.
Xiao Meng blushed shyly. When she saw that Su Wan had “ruined” her face again, she could not help but open her mouth.
“Sister, you’re so pretty. It’s such a pity to hide you like this.”
Su Wan was stunned and then shook her head.
“It’s not a pity. This will save us a lot of trouble.”
…
Just as the two girls were talking in the room, they suddenly heard a rough knock on the door.
The knocking on the door became heavier and heavier, as if it was going to break the door!
Su Wan’s delicate brows suddenly furrowed. Xiao Meng was so scared that she shrunk her head and could not even speak properly.
“Could it be… that the group of bad guys are chasing after us?”
Su Wan cast a comforting look at Xiao Meng.
“Hide yourself. I’ll go over and take a look first.”
As Su Wan said this, she quickly walked to the door.
From the intercom, two men in guard uniforms could be seen, but they looked a little shifty
