Chapter 252: Chapter 253 Human Traffickers

“I got this injury by bumping into something myself,” Liu Dashan said with his head hung low, knowing they were about to interrogate him again, he spoke without lifting his head.

Xu Ying chuckled, “Liu Dashan, you sure know how to bump into things, the injury looks like someone beat you up.”

Liu Dashan’s face tensed up, “I want to divorce your little aunt, and I’m keeping the child.”

“Uncle, the love you and my little aunt shared was so enviable to us younger ones.

When you asked to marry my little aunt, you swore in front of my grandparents you’d treat her well for life and never let her suffer the slightest bit.

How long has it been, and now you’re looking for another woman and wanting a divorce?

Have you considered what will happen to the child if the two of you divorce?”

Liu Dashan kept his head down, his expression unreadable. He slowly said, “The girl can stay with your little aunt, the boy is mine.”

“You’re thinking of giving your cousin to your elder brother to raise? Aren’t they going to have another child? That’s your own son, can you really bear to part with him? Aren’t you afraid that when he grows up, he will resent you?”

A flicker of guilt and helplessness crossed Liu Dashan’s eyes, but it quickly vanished, “I’m not capable of much. He’ll definitely have a better life with his uncle.”

It’s hopeless.

“Let’s go together and look for my cousin. These people are tied up and can’t stir up any trouble, let’s go,” said Xu Ying as she called Huo Chen and left.

Once outside, Xu Ying paced at the door. Her steps went from heavy to light, making it seem as if she was walking away, until the footsteps ceased.

The few people inside the room cautiously watched out the window.

When the footsteps were no longer audible, the two who had pretended to be unconscious instantly opened their eyes, looking at Liu Dashan with threatening gazes, “Liu Dashan, let me tell you, behave yourself.

Your parents are still in our hands, and if you don’t bring your wife and child back soon, your whole family will die.

Your elder brother has taken a lot of money from us over the years, so your whole family can’t escape being implicated.”

Hearing this, Liu Dashan closed his eyes in pain. He had never imagined that just because he put his son in his elder brother’s care once, it would lead to such a mess.

If he had known this would happen, he would have preferred his child had never been to his brother’s place.

“The kid is too young to remember any of this, just let him go. I won’t speak of these matters.

After all, if I did, my elder brother would be in trouble too,” Liu Dashan felt he had used all his intelligence in this one moment of his life.

The two men weren’t fooled easily, after all, words alone are not credible; they required a weak spot that they could exploit.

Liu Dashan’s son was precisely that weak spot for him and his wife. Seeing his wife’s fierce maternal instincts, it only convinced them more that they had bet on the right horse.

Liu Dashan’s elder brother was a grasshopper on the same string as them; he surely wouldn’t cause trouble. As long as they had a stranglehold on Liu Dashan’s family, Liu Shangou would be theirs to rule in the future.

Liu Shangou was such a remote and poor place, even getting married was difficult. Without them, all the men in this wretched place might as well remain bachelors.

Initially, they had wanted to use a woman to control Liu Dashan, but it turned out the couple’s affection for one another was quite strong.

With no other choice, the two had to resort to using the children to tie the couple down.

“Liu Dashan, you’d better straighten up for me,” Huo Chen growled menacingly. “If you pull any more of your tricks, I swear I’ll kill you right now.”

“Then let me divorce my wife. She doesn’t know anything about this and shouldn’t be involved,” Liu Dashan said, trying to hide his anxiety.

The man was immediately enraged at the suggestion and moved to kick him but, unshackled, he simply spat at Liu Dashan in disgust.

“You still dare to bargain with me? Don’t forget, we’ve got your parents in our grasp.”

“Oh, you’re feeling quite bold, aren’t you!” Xu Ying kicked the door open with a stern face, observing the discomfited expressions of the few people sitting on the ground.

She had heard about human traffickers before, having met some during the apocalypse, who had been sold into the trade. Their prime years wasted at the hands of traffickers.

She never imagined she would one day encounter human traffickers herself.

The man, formerly brazen, hadn’t expected Xu Ying to stick around and stared at her with eyes wide with fear. “You’re playing me.”

“It’s you we’re playing. Keep it together, or I’ll have him kill you,” Xu Ying pointed at Huo Chen.

Though she didn’t know why these two were so terrified of Huo Chen, she knew using him as a threat would definitely work.

Huo Chen advanced towards the two men, his imperious demeanor causing them to shiver uncontrollably on the floor.

Leaving the two men to Huo Chen, Xu Ying took Liu Dashan to another room.

Seeing the wounds covering Liu Dashan, Xu Ying felt a twinge of compassion. “Little uncle, if you really care about my cousin and your parents, you should come clean about everything. If you don’t, these people won’t let you off easily. Do you think just placing my cousin in front of your older brother will keep him safe? Don’t forget what these people do—they could sell him the minute they get their hands on him.”

Liu Dashan’s face showed fright, apparently not having considered this possibility.

Indeed, these people only wanted to take his son back because the boy had seen something he shouldn’t have. They had talked about having the son adopted by his older brother, but who knew what would happen after they took him back!

Plus, that group was so deceitful, Xu Ying saw Liu Dashan’s expression soften and continued to stir the pot, “Actually, they say they want you to take my cousin back to your older brother, but in reality, they’re afraid to do it themselves. That’s why they want you to figure it out. Once you bring him back, they’ll definitely sell him. Then you might be next on the chopping block, and if they think my little aunt knows something, they may sell her too. After all, she’s a woman and can marry and have children. Once she’s sold, it’ll be my little cousin’s turn to be a child bride. How tragic!”

The thought made Xu Ying visibly upset.

Liu Dashan felt like he was on a roller coaster, anxious and unsettled. Just thinking about his wife and daughter being sold off angered him.

“Yingying, I’ll tell you,” he blurted, “my older brother’s son’s death was no accident—it was murder by his newly bought wife.”

Liu Dashan spilled everything.

His older brother’s son was already in his twenties, a good-for-nothing by nature. There were few girls in the village, and those who had options certainly did not want to marry a wastrel like him.

His brother had thought to buy a wife for his son, and as luck would have it, the traffickers brought a beautiful woman. His nephew took a liking to her immediately.

She desperately tried to escape at first, but where could she go? Many wives in their village were bought, so there was a communal effort to prevent any from escaping. Liu Shangou was bordered by mountains on all sides, with people guarding the main road to prevent these purchased wives from breaking free. The small paths led into the mountains.

Ordinarily, groups would trek up the mountains together. These abducted women had no means to defend themselves, and venturing into the mountainous terrain meant certain death.
