Wang Er-biao frowned, "Selling people is against the law."
Gou Zi stared covetously at the fair, tender face before him and began to persuade him with all his might:
"Brother Biao, aren't we already breaking the law by tying people up? I say we might as well go all the way. By then, everyone will be sold and gone, who will remember what we did? Besides, don't you want to sell her and get some money? I've figured it out, what's the most useful thing these days? It's money. If you had money, would Sun Ling still look down on you?"
Although Chen Li-shu had her eyes closed, she had already cursed Gou Zi to death in her heart. At the same time, she secretly exerted force with her hands. At this moment, she no longer cared about the piercing pain in her wrist. Even if her skin was flayed, she would not let this disgusting fellow touch her.
Wang Er-biao began to hesitate. Gou Zi's last sentence hit home. If he had money, would Sun Ling still look down on him like this?
"Then be careful, don't take too long. I'll wait outside for you."
Upon receiving Wang Er-biao's consent, Gou Zi was overjoyed. "Don't worry, Brother Biao, I guarantee it won't cause any trouble."
Hearing the creak of the door as Wang Er-biao went out and the intensifying gasps from across the room, Chen Li-shu's heart tightened. Gritting her teeth, she struggled hard. As the restraints on her wrists disappeared, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Gou Zi, with his pants half undone, was impatiently reaching out to unbutton Chen Li-shu's clothes. He was startled to see her suddenly open her eyes.
Seizing the moment of his stunned silence, Chen Li-shu, with disgust, lifted her right foot and kicked him fiercely in the crotch.
"Ah—" The man called Gou Zi immediately curled up on the ground like a shriveled shrimp, clutching his 'little brother' in pain.
Because Chen Li-shu had exerted too much force, and the stool was already wobbly with its broken leg, her body tilted heavily backward, her back of the head hitting the ground with a dull thud. Her vision immediately went black.
Ignoring her dizziness, Chen Li-shu quickly scrambled to her feet and scrambled towards the dilapidated window.
As long as she could climb over the window, she would immediately start shouting for help. At the same time, she was silently praying that there would be residents nearby. If anyone heard her call for help, her hope of rescue would be greater.
Wang Er-biao, who was guarding outside, took out a cigarette and was about to light it with a match when he suddenly heard Gou Zi let out a yell. At first, he didn't pay attention. After all, Chen Li-shu was still unconscious, and he thought Gou Zi was just shouting excitedly. But as he listened, the situation seemed increasingly wrong, and he immediately dropped what he was holding and rushed back into the room.
As a result, when he pushed the door open, he saw Gou Zi clutching his lower body and lying on the ground in pain. On the other side, the person who should have been unconscious had not only woken up, but the ropes binding her hands had somehow been broken, and the person had already run to the window and was preparing to crawl outside.
She really has some skills!
Chen Li-shu also heard the sound of Wang Er-biao kicking the door, but she dared not look back, focusing only on climbing out the window. Seeing that her entire body was already half out, her scalp suddenly hurt. "Help—"
Before she could even scream, a hand reached from behind her, and a familiar handkerchief came into view.
Chen Li-shu struggled desperately, but the drug's effect was too fast. Her body went limp, and she plunged into darkness once more…
Yang Li-li and Jiang Yu-wei went together to the teaching building of their examination venue. More and more candidates were entering. Jiang Yu-wei casually placed the soda bottle in her hand on the windowsill along the corridor.
"They probably won't let us bring exam materials inside, right?" she said, looking at Yang Li-li, then walked directly towards the examination room.
Yang Li-li's gaze fell on the soda bottle on the windowsill, which had hardly been touched. It was something she considered a luxury to take even a sip of, yet she had simply discarded it here.
Hmph, people truly are incomparable!
"It's almost time, aren't you coming in?"
Seeing that Chen Li-shu was unlikely to come, and knowing that Sun Ling had already made her move, Jiang Yu-wei, who was by the classroom door, turned back and looked at Yang Li-li, who was still standing by the window, and asked curiously.
Yang Li-li's eyes flickered. "You go in first. I suddenly remembered I have something to do."
She had never considered Yang Li-li a competitor anyway, so whether she came or not, or even took the exam, was not important. Jiang Yu-wei nodded indifferently and turned to enter the examination room.
Yang Li-li picked up the soda bottle that Jiang Yu-wei had casually discarded, turned, and went downstairs. As she passed a flower bed, she poured all the soda from the glass bottle onto the soil. Then, she threw the empty bottle into a trash can.
Knowing that there wasn't much time left before the exam started, Yang Li-li hurried out of the school gate and stopped at a phone booth across the street. She then picked up the receiver and dialed a few numbers…
There were no classes that morning, and Li Zhi-wei was playing basketball with his dorm mates. Suddenly, a junior student ran over from a distance. After spotting him in the crowd, he shouted loudly, "Senior Li Zhi-wei, a girl just called, saying your friend is in danger."
A boy playing basketball with him asked with a grin, "Boyfriend or girlfriend?"
The junior student honestly replied, "Girlfriend, she said her name was Chen, Chen Li-shu, I think."
His companion waved dismissively, "Brother, your Senior Li is still single. Where would he have a girlfriend waiting for him to be a hero and save the damsel? Stop talking nonsense here."
However, upon hearing the name Chen Li-shu, Li Zhi-wei threw down the basketball in his hand and quickly ran to the boy relaying the message. He asked nervously, "Who made the call? What did they say? Tell me everything, word for word."
…
Yang Li-li hung up the phone and asked the stall owner for the time. Knowing that the exam was about to start in five minutes, and there was no time to wait for the other party to call back, she hastily paid and ran back towards the campus. She hoped Chen Li-shu wouldn't encounter any danger. This call was a way of repaying her for her past care.
…
"Damn it, you crazy bitch! You pretended to be dead, almost making me infertile." Seeing that Chen Li-shu had gone limp and fainted, Gou Zi got up from the ground and angrily slapped her.
However, Chen Li-shu was unconscious. Her head just tilted to the side without any other reaction.
"Brother Biao, you go out first. I'm going to teach this bitch a lesson today."
"Forget it." Wang Er-biao's tone was somewhat impatient, and he frowned at Gou Zi's still undone pants. "Let's not have any more delays. Hurry up and take her to the person you mentioned. Like you said, if you have money, you can find any woman. Don't dawdle here."
Although unwilling, Gou Zi still tied his trousers as instructed, muttering curses as he and Wang Er-biao carried the person out.
…
"Hello, cousin, it's me, Li Zhi-wei." Li Zhi-wei held the receiver, recalling the phone call he had just made. The other end said it was a phone booth opposite the Industrial University. Knowing that Chen Li-shu and the others were taking their exam at the Industrial University today, and that the boy relaying the message was definitely not lying, Li Zhi-wei's brows furrowed, and his expression became serious.
