"Boss Lei, we are back."
Brother Yang, Uncle Yang, and Aunt Yue walked up to the man with their backs bowed very respectfully, without any trace of smugness on their faces.
Boss Lei seemed not to hear what they said. He still closed his eyes and said nothing.
Even so, the three of them did not dare to move and maintained a hunched posture.
After a while, the man threw a pistol at Uncle Yang's feet.
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yue knelt down hurriedly: "Boss, please forgive me. This time, it was all because of a strange woman that we suffered heavy losses. This was all an accident. In the future..."
"Have you forgotten my rules?"
Boss Lei's voice was extremely cold, like a cold wind from hell, making everyone present shudder.
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yue were trembling all over, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, not daring to refute at all.
Brother Yang was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to breathe.
"If you don't do your job well, you have to pay the price." Boss Lei slowly opened his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes. "But considering that you have followed me for more than ten years, I will cripple one of your hands."
He stood up, walked over to Uncle Yang, and kicked the gun with his foot. "Handle it yourself. Don't make me do it myself."
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yue were shocked, and despair instantly surged in their hearts.
They all knew Boss Lei's methods, and if they disobeyed his orders, they would only suffer more cruel punishment.
Uncle Yang picked up the gun at his feet with trembling hands and pointed the muzzle at his left arm.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a voice filled with fear and innocence suddenly rang out.
"You...are bad people?"
Shi Qingqian tilted her head and poked it out from behind the door.
Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Shi Qingqian.
Uncle Yang's hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and for a moment he felt a sense of joy at having escaped a disaster.
He quickly pulled Shi Qingqian and brought her to Boss Lei, "Boss, this is something we picked especially for you. It's a rare good item. Please accept it."
Boss Lei narrowed his eyes, looking at Shi Qingqian's innocent appearance, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Oh?"
Shi Qingqian was pushed in front of Boss Lei by Uncle Yang, and finally saw the true face of the human trafficking leader for the first time.
His face was thin and well-defined, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, yet revealed endless indifference and sinisterness, his eyebrows were thick and slightly raised, giving people a sense of majesty without even being angry.
Under the high nose bridge, his lips were tightly pursed and his skin was pale without a trace of blood, as if he had lived in darkness for a long time without seeing the sun.
Shi Qingqian looked at Boss Lei and felt a strong sense of fear in her heart.
She could sense the dangerous aura emanating from this man, as if he were a beast ready to pounce on its prey at any moment.
Although she was panicking in her heart, Shi Qingqian tried hard to maintain the innocence and fear on her face.
She trembled slightly, and looked at Boss Lei with wet eyes, like a frightened deer.
Boss Lei reached out his hand, gently lifted Shi Qingqian's chin, and looked at her face carefully.
"It's indeed a rare good stuff." His eyes wandered over Shi Qingqian, a hint of greed in his eyes.
Shi Qingqian wanted to break free, but he looked like a weakling, but was actually quite strong. She could only let him continue to look at her.
"Although you didn't do a good job this time, I'm still satisfied with this gift."
Boss Lei withdrew his hand and raised his chin slightly. "But don't think that this can offset your mistakes. I'll make a note of this. Be more careful in the future. If you make any mistakes again, it won't be as simple as losing a hand."
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yue nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief.
Boss Lei waved his hand: "Everyone go down, leave her behind."
Uncle Yang and the others retreated quickly as if they had been pardoned.
Only Shi Qingqian and Boss Lei were left in the yard.
Boss Lei looked at Shi Qingqian, the smile on his face becoming more cruel: "Little girl, from now on, you are mine. If you are obedient, I can let you live a good life, but if you dare to resist, the consequences will not be something you can bear."
"I... I'm not yours," Shi Qingqian mustered up the courage to lift her chin and look at him. "I'm here to look for my uncle, Yang Guiming. Please help me find him to pick me up... I'll thank you."
Boss Lei looked at Shi Qingqian, who was stubborn yet innocent, like a little rabbit that had never experienced the world, and a hint of interest flashed in his eyes.
He had never seen such a bold "prey", which made him feel a different kind of emotion.
"Hehe, little girl, you are so naive. Do you think you can find your cousin in this place?" Boss Lei's voice was tinged with teasing.
Shi Qingqian bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, "Why not? Uncle and Auntie clearly promised to bring me to see my uncle."
Looking at the pitiful appearance of the little rabbit, Boss Lei suddenly felt a little sorry for it and said, "Yang Guiming has gone down the mountain. You stay here first. He will come to pick you up when he comes back."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Qingqian's eyes, as if she saw hope.
"Really? Then I'll wait here for my uncle to come back." There was a hint of anxiety and anticipation in her tone.
Boss Lei looked at her innocent appearance, and the strange emotion in his heart became stronger.
He suddenly felt that this little rabbit might bring him some different fun.
"However, while you are waiting for your cousin, you'd better be obedient and not cause any trouble." Although Boss Lei's tone was still cold, it was less cruel than before.
Shi Qingqian nodded quickly, "I will be obedient as long as I can wait for my uncle."
Boss Lei raised his chin slightly and said, "Follow me," then he turned and walked into the house.
Shi Qingqian hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
That night, Shi Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes while lying in bed.
At this moment, she no longer looked as innocent as she did during the day, and her eyes were full of calmness and wisdom.
"Ah Miao, help me listen to see if there is anyone outside the house."
"No one is here. Boss Lei left ten minutes ago."
Shi Qingqian changed into black clothes and walked out of the room quietly, like a ghost in the dark night.
She carefully avoided places where noise might be made and took every step with extreme caution.
