Feeling the soft, fragrant body nestled in his arms, and hearing the sweet voice filled with admiration and praise, Qin Chuan couldn't help but feel his mood lift, his heart filled with joy.
Everyone has a bit of vanity, especially when showered with high praise and admiration by a beloved woman. As a man, his vanity was satisfied like never before.
Qin Chuan was no exception. Feeling the woman's passion in his embrace, he immediately responded.
After a long, long while, until both of them were almost breathless, they reluctantly released their lips.
Li Ya's body had gone soft, her pretty face flushed with a blush. A thin mist of moisture covered her beautiful eyes, a sign of arousal. Fragrant breaths continuously escaped her rosy lips.
This damsel-in-distress look almost turned Qin Chuan into a complete beast. Fortunately, he managed to apply the brakes at the last moment, remembering his purpose for visiting the garment factory.
There would be plenty of time for aerobic exercises, but the matter with the Guo family could not be delayed.
"Sister!"
"I want to ask you something."
Li Ya showed no reaction. It wasn't until Qin Chuan called out several times that her mind finally returned, and she looked at him with a confused expression, "What did you just say?"
Seeing Li Ya's dazed look in his arms, Qin Chuan chuckled inwardly. Who said men were lustful demons? When women fall in love, they are even more so than men.
Li Ya was usually such a shrewd and capable woman, but now her IQ seemed to have halved, and she was slow to react in every way.
"Sister, I came here today to ask you about something!"
"Our garment factory and the Guo family have been rivals for so many years. I believe you must know the Guo family's background the best!"
Hearing Qin Chuan inquire about the Guo family, Li Ya's mind finally returned. The depths of her beautiful eyes were filled with a kaleidoscope of colors, a mixture of playful reproach and longing, as if blaming Qin Chuan for his lack of romantic timing, asking about the Guo family at a moment like this.
Qin Chuan noticed this, lowered his head, and whispered a few words by her crystal-clear, jade-like earlobe. Immediately, Li Ya playfully struck him with her small fist, and Qin Chuan laughed heartily, holding her tightly in his arms.
After a long while, their playful tussle subsided. Li Ya regained her composure, stood up gracefully, tidied her clothes, and said slowly.
"Xiao Chuan, you suddenly asking about the Guo family, did something happen?"
Qin Chuan did not hide anything and directly relayed what Zheng Chengdao had told him to Li Ya.
"I knew it. The Guo family is so ruthless and vengeful. How could they have been so quiet? So, this is their revenge!"
"Such cunning and vicious methods!"
Upon hearing this, Li Ya's almond-shaped eyes widened, and her body burned with anger.
"Then what do you plan to do now?"
Qin Chuan sneered, his pitch-black eyes radiating a chilling light. "Since the Guo family is so enthusiastic, I'll play with them properly!"
"I need to know all the information about the Guo family now. Sister, tell me everything you know."
Under Li Ya's slow narration, Qin Chuan gained a complete understanding of the Guo family's affairs.
As they had learned before, the Guo family's current achievements were stained with blood. The garment factory was merely a business presented to the public by the Guo family.
Even now, the Guo family was still engaged in illegal activities, such as high-interest loans, privately setting up illegal gambling dens, operating hotels, and keeping prostitutes, among other things.
However, the Guo family conducted all these activities in extreme secrecy, or perhaps their connections were so powerful that they had remained unharmed until now.
"Xiao Chuan, the Guo family is really difficult to deal with!"
"I once heard that the Guo family's powerful backer is our Secretary..."
Li Ya said in a low voice.
Qin Chuan was taken aback, and a face couldn't help but appear in his mind, which was that of the County Secretary Zhao Anquan.
This information did not frighten Qin Chuan; instead, it ignited an unprecedented excitement within him.
Ye Qingping and Zhao Anquan had always been at odds. Did this information mean that he could seize this opportunity to find some leverage against the Secretary? If he could truly find something through the Guo family, it would be a tremendous stroke of luck.
"Also..."
At this moment, Li Ya said softly, "I once heard people say that the women kept by the Guo family were actually kidnapped from other places..."
"Kidnapped? Does the Guo family also engage in human trafficking?"
Qin Chuan was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and he gasped.
He quickly calmed down, and memories from his previous life flashed through his mind.
If he remembered correctly, during the period from the 1990s to the 2000s, the trafficking of women and children was rampant in China, and it was difficult to curb despite repeated crackdowns.
This led to the breakdown of many families and the loss of countless children for grieving parents, with tragedies happening frequently.
It was 1998, a time when trafficking was flourishing, and many traffickers were extremely rampant, causing much heartache and hatred among countless families.
If the Guo family was indeed involved with human traffickers, then heaven itself would decree their destruction.
The more Qin Chuan thought about it, the more excited he became. The two pieces of information he received from Li Ya tonight were too important and would greatly assist him in counterattacking the Guo family.
"I don't know if the Guo family is involved in trafficking women, but this family is definitely not clean!"
"Xiao Chuan, if you really intend to deal with the Guo family, you must be careful. They are ruthless villains who will do anything!"
Li Ya said worriedly.
Qin Chuan reached out and put his arm around Li Ya's soft waist, comforting her, "Sister, don't worry about this. I'm no longer a lone wolf. I have many brothers under me, and many dangerous tasks no longer require me to do them personally!"
Li Ya's heart eased slightly.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening, and Li Ya's workday was over. She tidied up her belongings and left with Qin Chuan.
The car was driven by the young subordinate San Mao, with Bai Xiaoguang sitting in the front passenger seat.
Halfway there, the phone rang, and Qin Chuan answered.
"Boss, our men have followed those two lackeys and found those rats hiding!"
Zheng Chengdao said, "Should we act now or do something else? Please decide!"
Qin Chuan's pitch-black eyes instantly became much deeper, the light within them like two constantly spinning vortices, emanating a chilling aura.
"Where are you now?"
"I'm still at the construction site, but Yao Dong has already gone over!"
"How many people are on the other side?"
"Not many, including those two lackeys, there are only ten of them!"
"Very good. I'll have Brother Paigu go find you. Then, you will all escort those rats to the canned food factory where we first met. I'll be waiting there for your good news!"
Qin Chuan said, then hung up the phone.
San Mao and Bai Xiaoguang, who were driving in front, had already heard Qin Chuan's words. They knew that something was about to happen, and excitement flickered in their eyes.
