Yun Ning frowned, thinking she had heard it wrong.

Gu Sili put down his chopsticks, his face gloomy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

When the other people saw this scene, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

After they looked at each other, the village chief stood up with a glass of wine in his hand and said with a smile: "Si Li, thanks to your investment, the village has been transformed from a backward and impoverished mountain village to a civilized model village in recent years. This glass of wine is for you."

Gu Sili's eyes were deep.

He glanced at the village chief, stood up and strode out.

A group of people hurriedly followed.

"Si Li, where are you going?"

"Si Li, it's cold outside, don't go out!"

"Yes, I'm drinking it happily!"

Yun Ning didn't understand what was going on, so she just followed Gu Sili downstairs.

I saw a tricycle parked at the gate of my second uncle and second aunt's house.

Next to the tricycle stood a middle-aged man in ordinary clothes.

It's the appearance of the villagers.

He held a shovel in one hand and adjusted a piece of cloth on the truck bed with the other.

The cloth was uneven, as if it was covering something.

But it was a dark and windy night, so Yun Ning couldn’t see clearly.

But she had a sensitive sense of smell and could always vaguely smell a scent of blood.

The village chief glanced at Gu Sili, stepped forward and scolded: "Sixth son, what are you doing here?"

Liuzi was shocked.

Turning around, I saw a huge crowd of people.

Especially the leader Gu Sili.

Although he looks handsome, he exudes a murderous aura, like the King of Hell, and is very scary.

He trembled and said, "Oh, I went to look after the wheat seedlings in the field at night. I passed by my second uncle's house on my way back and heard someone talking. It turned out to be Brother Si Li who came back!"

The village chief stepped forward and pushed him: "Why are you running around so late at night? Go home and go to bed."

"Okay, okay."

Liuzi hurriedly pushed the tricycle and was about to leave, "Second uncle, second aunt, brother Si Li, brother A Wei, see you later!"

"and many more!"

Gu Sili, who had been silent, called Liuzi, his voice as cold as ice.

"..."

Liuzi's calf muscles were twisting.

Even though the village chief and the elders behind him kept winking at him, telling him to leave quickly.

He still dared not move under Gu Sili's sharp gaze.

Gu Sili walked to the tricycle and looked at Liuzi for a while with half-closed eyes.

Then he looked at the uneven piece of rag on the tricycle bed and reached out to lift it up.

At this time, Second Uncle Gu hurried forward and said, "Si Li, you..."

"Dad, what are you doing?"

Before Second Uncle Gu could finish his words, he was pulled back by Gu Wei.

He used his eyes to warn his father: What does it have to do with you? Why are you standing out?

Aunt Gu also tugged at Uncle Gu's arm and shook her head at him.

Second Uncle Gu curled his lips, but ultimately did not stand up again.

Yun Ning looked at the people's different expressions and became even more curious.

What is hidden under this rag?

Make it mysterious.

Gu Sili didn't look at anyone and angrily lifted the rag.

Under the moonlight, there was a woman lying straight on the truck bed.

Her clothes were torn and her exposed skin was covered with purple bruises and shocking bloodstains.

Blood kept gushing out from the woman's forehead, mouth corners, and nose.

A pool of blood gathered under his body and slowly dripped onto the yellow earth under the wheels.

Yun Ning covered her mouth and took a step back in fear.

The thing under the rag turned out to be a wounded woman!

Who is she?

Why here?

What’s the relationship with Liuzi?

Why does she have injuries?

Why isn't anyone surprised except me?

And he's helping to cover it up?!

All kinds of questions flooded into my mind.

Soon, an answer emerged.

Yun Ning widened her eyes: trafficking in women!

She shook her head in disbelief.

We live in a society ruled by law. How backward is Gu Sili's hometown that they still traffic in women?!

The woman on the tricycle opened her mouth, but no sound came out because her throat was full of blood.

Yun Ning felt from the woman's lip movements that she was saying, "Save me..."

The woman was indeed trafficked.

On the first day she was tied up and brought into the village, she was put on a dog leash.

After suffering inhuman torture, the woman pretended to agree to give birth to Liuzi's child, and was then released.

After being well-behaved for a few days, she finally got the chance and ran away while Liuzi was asleep.

But the village is winding and too far from the town, so we will be discovered after running for a while.

Fortunately, there is always a way out.

When the woman passed by her second uncle's house, she saw several luxury cars driven by Gu Sili.

She had only seen such luxury cars in big cities, and subconsciously felt that a distinguished person had come to the village.

This kind of noble person is not comparable to the backward and ignorant villagers!

So, the woman banged on the door and begged for help with a desperate mentality.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she shouted, Liuzi, who came rushing over, hit her on the head with a shovel.

The woman collapsed to the ground, unable to speak.

She thought she was finished.

If he is caught this time, he will be either beaten to death or become disabled.

The woman was so desperate that she even wanted to go home and find a bottle of pesticide and drink it to end it all.

Fortunately, someone heard the noise and came to rescue her.

Gu Sili looked at the abducted woman with a gloomy look, then grabbed Liuzi's head and slammed it against the corner of the tricycle!

The force is steady, accurate and fierce.

"Bang bang bang"!

After a few loud noises, Liuzi's face was covered in blood.

Gu Sili grabbed Liuzi's collar fiercely and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you three years ago not to do this again! Don't buy women again! Are you all fucking deaf?"

Liuzi cried out in pain, "Brother Si Li, please stop hitting me! I beg you to stop hitting me! I just want to marry a wife. I've already given you the money!"

"Getting a wife?! Gave money?!"

Gu Sili's handsome face was filled with chill, and he kicked Liuzi's face desperately with his custom-made leather shoes, "You treated a good person like an animal, and you're selling him like an animal. What the hell are you spewing here!"

The crowd around was silent.

Even when blood spots appeared on their bodies, they dared not move.

Finally, an old man couldn't stand it anymore.

He leaned on a cane and tremblingly advised: "Si Li, everyone used to buy a wife. Without a wife, how can you have children? Without children, how can you continue the family line! Don't forget, even you..."

Yun Ning looked up.

She discovered that the old man was Uncle Zhao, whom Gu Sili had taken her to visit in person during the day.

According to Gu Wei and Gu Sili, this old man is a good person with a kind heart.

But now, he supports the trafficking of women and children with a clear conscience.

Sometimes, human nature is really complicated.

"Uncle Zhao, you are old and confused, you should go home and have a good rest!"

Gu Wei grabbed Uncle Zhao and reminded him not to talk nonsense.

Afterwards, he poked Yun Ning's arm again: "Assistant Yun, go and persuade him quickly, or my cousin will beat him to death."

Yun Ning looked at him and sneered: "Why should we sympathize with human traffickers? Just beat them to death."

Gu Wei was choked, but he didn't get angry: "Okay, okay, we can't compare to your high level of thinking, but people really can't be beaten to death!"

Yun Ning thought so too, and stepped forward, grabbing Gu Sili's sleeve and saying, "Just hit him a few times to vent your anger. If you really beat him to death, it would be bad if you get sued."

Gu Sili glanced at Yun Ning and finally stopped.

He lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and exhaled heavily.

Seeing this, the others quickly lifted up the unconscious Liuzi.

Gu Sili was having trouble breathing, his chest was heaving, and he shouted impatiently: "Call the police, call 120, send Liuzi to the police station, and send this woman to the hospital! After she is cured, help her find her family."

"Good good!"

The village chief shouted and ordered everyone to carry Liuzi away, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and do as the clerk says."

Unexpectedly, Gu Sili stopped him and said coldly: "From now on, the work in Dongshan Village will not be your responsibility. Someone else will take your place!"

The village chief was stunned. "Ah? Si Li, don't be like this. Let's talk it over!"

Gu Sili looked at him with contempt: "I invest tens of millions of yuan in Dongshan Village every year so that you can help the people in the village get rich and make them smarter, not so that you can enrich yourself and let them commit crimes!"

The village chief was completely panicked: "Si Li, don't be like this. We all have the surname Gu. When you were a child, I held you in my arms. You..."

Gu Sili didn't even look at him and turned around.

Immediately, four burly men carried the village chief away.

After all this commotion, everyone was scared out of their wits.

When Yun Ning followed Gu Sili back to the room, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

There were few entertainment activities in the village and the lights were turned off in every household.

Apart from the sound of the howling winter wind, there were only the occasional barking of dogs.

Yun Ning was lying on the bed, feeling a little scared when she thought about how Gu Sili had beaten someone just now.

It seems that when she resisted and beat Gu Sili before, it was Gu Sili who gave in to her.

If this man really wanted to hit her, Yun Ning might not be able to take even one punch from him.

She sighed and turned over for the third time.

Gu Sili grabbed her into his arms, the smell of blood still lingering on his fingertips from when he beat her.

He asked: "Can't sleep?"

Yun Ning nodded honestly: "Yeah."

Gu Sili thought for a moment and asked, "Are you scared by me?"

"Fortunately."

"Then I'll take you somewhere."

"Row."

I couldn’t sleep anyway.

Yun Ning didn't ask where she was. She stood up quickly and changed into a sweater and windbreaker.

Gu Sili glanced at her and took out two thick down jackets from the suitcase.

Put one on Yun Ning and the other on yourself.

He said: "There is no heating equipment in the village like in the city. It's very cold outside. Don't freeze."

Yun Ning nodded, put on her down jacket, and wrapped herself up like a bun.

Gu Sili took her hand, and under the moonlight, they walked along the village path to a nearby distance.

The night wind blew.

The man raised the corners of his lips and thought: He is no longer alone on this road.
