Zi Ling and Gu Beichen walked into the room, her heart pounding. She had seen him leave on a small boat before coming to the third floor to find Miss Shen, and she had never expected him to suddenly return.

Apart from treating him, this was the first time she had been so close to him. Her heart was beating fast, but she remained calm.

King Qin pulled a chair and sat down, seemingly asking casually, "Were you changing the dressing on Miss Shen's wound just now?"

"Yes." Zi Ling felt a little guilty, but she couldn't be soft-spoken, otherwise...

"But I remember you saying yesterday that her wound only needs to be dressed once every three days?" The King of Qin's tone was indifferent, his eyelids drooped, and no emotion could be seen.

Wanwan's injury was on her heart, and Zi Ling had been helping to treat it. In addition, she also volunteered to deliver meals to Wanwan on time every day.

If not, he wouldn't have agreed to let Zi Ling come to the third floor at will. Now it seems...

Zi Ling's face turned pale, "Because..."

"What did you tell her?"

Zi Ling's face turned paler. She knew exactly who the "she" that King Qin was referring to was.

"I didn't say anything, I just reminded her to be careful not to squeeze the wound. After all, it had been in the water for a long time, and the wound was severely ulcerated. Fortunately, it didn't get infected and was treated in time."

King Qin's eyes narrowed slightly. "Alright, go back to your room first. Don't come to the third floor unless necessary."

Zi Ling pursed her lips and said, "Yes."

King Qin looked at Zi Ling's departing back, and his eyes became dark and unclear.

He waved his hand casually, and the door was gently closed. He reached into his lapel and took out a jade pendant. His eyes instantly became gentle.

Not long after, Xie Moxuan knocked on the door and walked in, "Beichen, I heard..."

The King of Qin waved his hand and said, "No need to say more. Once the boat reaches the shore, we will send the people aboard."

"No..."

Xie Moxuan was a little excited and his voice became impatient. If Wan'er was not allowed to go back, his aunt would be worried crazy!

"Remember your own identity!"

……

In the middle of the night, the boat stopped at the shore.

Shen Wanwan was sleeping in a daze. She suddenly opened her eyes and smelled a strange fragrance. She thought something was wrong and quickly pulled the quilt over her nose. She stretched out her other hand to wake Pei Wanwan up.

Pei Wanwan was about to speak when Shen Wanwan covered her mouth with one hand and whispered in her ear, "Cover your nose and don't talk!"

Pei Wanwan stopped moving, but she had a bad feeling in her heart. Could it be that Wanwan's initial guess was right, and this ship was engaged in human trafficking?

They thought it was a pity to see her die in vain despite her beauty, so they placed her on the third floor so that they could sell her for a good price after she was cured?

In the darkness, the two stared at each other, trying to see each other, but to their disappointment, they couldn't see anything.

Not long after, the door was pushed open from the outside and two figures walked in. For some reason, one of them was called back halfway and another person came in.

A faint light came in, and Shen Wanwan and Pei Wanwan closed their eyes tightly. They both wanted to open their eyes to see what the thief looked like, but they didn't dare to move.

Soon, the two fell into two strong arms respectively. Shen Wanwan smelled a familiar fragrance. She seemed to have smelled it somewhere recently, but she couldn't remember where it was for a while.

It was not until she left the cabin and was about to walk down to the riverbank that Shen Wanwan realized it was Mo Xuan, the aura of Mo Xuan!

When she just woke up that day, she got out of bed and almost fell down when Mo Xuan reached out to hold her up. A faint scent of camellia came from him.

She felt strange at the time, how could a man like the scent of camellia.

Shen Wanwan was horrified. Were they really involved in human trafficking? Where were they taking them in the middle of the night? Which brothel would they be sold to? Was it too late to jump into the river now?
