Shi Qingqian's footsteps suddenly stopped: "What do you mean?"

Boss Lei laughed loudly: "You are so naive. You don't really think that in just a few days you can make me trust you completely and hand over all the children in my hands to you?"

"I'm telling you, the few you sent away weren't even worth a damn. I have even more in my hands. If you dare to disappear again, I guarantee that even if your people show up, they'll only find hundreds of bodies."

Shi Qingqian's body was shaking slightly, her eyes were full of shock and anger, and she stared at Boss Lei.

"How could you be so cruel? They are just innocent children!"

Boss Lei shrugged nonchalantly, with a ferocious smile on his face.

"In my eyes, they are nothing. You'd better obey me, otherwise, the consequences will not be what you want to see."

Shi Qingqian bit her lips tightly, her heart filled with pain and helplessness. Her hands were clenched into fists, her nails dug deep into her palms, but she did not feel any pain.

The wind blew gently, but it couldn't blow away the heavy atmosphere.

"What will it take for you to let them go?"

When Boss Lei heard Shi Qingqian's words, a cunning light flashed in his eyes. He raised his chin slightly and revealed an evil smile.

"Let them go? Not impossible," Boss Lei said in a low and slow voice, "If you marry me and become my woman, I will consider letting these children go. If you give me a few more sons, I can even quit my criminal ways and learn to be a good person."

Shi Qingqian widened her eyes and looked at Boss Lei in disbelief.

This request was like a bolt from the blue, filling her heart with shock and disgust.

"You're crazy!" Shi Qingqian said in a trembling voice, "I can't possibly marry you."

Boss Lei's face darkened, and his eyes revealed a threat. "You have no choice. Either marry me or watch these children die one by one."

"I'm already married and have a husband..."

"I do not mind."

Shi Qingqian felt a chill rising from the bottom of her heart. She looked at Boss Lei's determined look and her heart was filled with anger.

"You are totally unreasonable!" Shi Qingqian gritted her teeth and said, "I would never marry you even if I die."

Boss Lei snorted coldly and took a step forward: "Death? That's not up to you."

"If you dare to die, I will kill all these children immediately. Think carefully about it, which is more important, your life or the lives of these children."

"I can give you some time to think about it. Our wedding banquet will be tomorrow at noon. After the ceremony, I will let them go. Otherwise..."

Shi Qingqian said, "You must let me see those children first. I want to make sure they are safe."

Boss Lei curled his lips into a cold smile and looked at Shi Qingqian with contempt, "You are not qualified to ask me for anything now, but considering that you are the mother of my future son, I will naturally let you meet them after the ceremony."

"I don't believe you will keep your promise. Unless I see those children now, I will never marry you."

"Do you think you have a choice? Wait obediently to become my bride, otherwise those children's lives will be in danger."

After saying that, Boss Lei turned and left, not at all worried that Shi Qingqian would disappear again.

Shi Qingqian said "Pooh" at his back.

Shi Qingqian returned to the room angrily and locked the door. The anger in her heart was like a burning flame. She clenched her teeth and her eyes were full of unyielding spirit.

Her mind was constantly thinking about how to deal with it.

……

"Qianqian...Qianqian..."

Xu Huaian's voice came from outside the window.

Shi Qingqian was stunned, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart.

She rushed to the window and carefully opened it a crack, and sure enough, she saw Xu Huaian's familiar figure hiding in the shadows not far away.

Shi Qingqian looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one noticed.

"Huaian, why did you come just now?" Shi Qingqian said aggrievedly as soon as she saw him.

Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian's aggrieved look, his heart filled with pity.

He lowered his voice and said, "Qianqian, don't be afraid, we'll leave now."

"No," Shi Qingqian shook her head. "Boss Lei just said he still has dozens of children. If I leave, he will kill them all. So I can't leave now."

Now it was Xu Huaian's turn to feel wronged. "I heard everything you said just now. Do you really want to marry him?"

This is his wife, a wife who was married to him through formal marriage and recognized by the state.

"How could I possibly marry him?" Shi Qingqian shook her head hurriedly. "I'm just trying to buy time. Find a way to find where those children are hidden."

Xu Huaian frowned, his face full of worry: "Qianqian, I'm afraid it will be dangerous for you to stay here. Those bastards are capable of anything."

Shi Qingqian held Xu Huaian's hand and said softly, "Huaian, I will be careful. Even if something really happens, I can still hide in the space."

Xu Huaian felt a little relieved after hearing Shi Qingqian's words.

Indeed, she has space, and those people should not be able to hurt her, but Xu Huaian's worry is still hard to dispel.

"Qianqian, you must protect yourself. I will find the whereabouts of the children as soon as possible and come to pick you up immediately."

Shi Qingqian nodded, "Just do it with peace of mind. I'll be here waiting for you to come back."

Xu Huaian looked at Shi Qingqian reluctantly, then quietly disappeared into the darkness.

Shi Qingqian closed the window and returned to the room.

After seeing Xu Huaian, she was not so worried anymore. Shi Qingqian sat on the edge of the bed, and her mood gradually calmed down.

All she could do now was to delay Boss Lei and the others as much as possible to buy them enough time to find someone.

……

After Xu Huaian quietly left Shi Qingqian's room, he quickly met up with other team members.

He briefly explained the current situation to everyone.

"This is roughly the current situation. We must find those hidden children as soon as possible and transfer them safely, so that we can catch all the traffickers inside."

"Now we spread out and search every possible place carefully. Be careful to stay alert and don't get discovered," Xu Huaian's voice was low and powerful.
