The leader is my girlfriend

Ten minutes later, Liu Miaomiao and Wang Guifeng retraced their steps, heading for the village entrance to observe the situation. Unexpectedly, they found several men guarding the entrance. Had they entered a human traffickers' lair? With this possibility all but confirmed, their hearts sank.

Faced with the current situation, Liu Miaomiao and Wang Guifeng dared not act rashly and could only feign composure and try their best to remain calm. They hoped Li Bo would sober up a bit; after all, he was the only boy, and regardless of his gender, they couldn't abandon him even if they wanted to run.

At this moment, Liu Miaomiao's biggest reliance was the gun her sister had asked her to get from the drawer before she left. However, the gun only had a few bullets in it, and it was completely inadequate to deal with the crisis-ridden situation before her. She was even more unsure if anyone in the village had any guns.

As soon as I entered the yard, the village chief's eldest son came up and asked, "Reporter Liu, Reporter Wang, where did you go just now?"

Liu Miaomiao secretly took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calmer and more natural.

"Oh, we just saw that the scenery of the village was particularly beautiful, so we walked for a while longer, mainly because of the vegetation, many of which are not found in Beijing."

It was only after walking around the village that they realized that there were only a few elderly women in the village.

"Our village is really not suitable for your recording." The village chief's eldest son stared at Liu Miaomiao and responded expressionlessly.

"The main thing is that nowadays, no matter where you go, it's basically the same, so it's not very special."

Liu Miaomiao sighed helplessly, and then continued,

"However, since we're already here, it's best to stick to our original plan. We plan to interview the village chief and Teacher Zhang Haiyan tomorrow morning, and then it's almost time to leave."

At this moment, the village chief's eldest son suddenly turned his attention to Wang Guifeng, who was standing beside him. "Have you ever given birth to a child?"

"What...what?" Wang Guifeng asked with wide eyes.

Before Wang Guifeng could react, the village chief's voice came from the house, "Boss, what are you doing? Don't disturb the reporter's rest. Come here."

He glanced at the two of them, then left. Liu Miaomiao quickly pulled up Wang Guifeng, who was still in a state of shock, and walked quickly into the house arranged by the village chief in advance, then locked the doors and windows.

"Miaomiao, did you see the look in his eyes just now?"

Liu Miaomiao comforted Wang Guifeng, shook her hand firmly, and said firmly, "Guifeng, don't be afraid. I have a gun with me. If he dares to do anything, I will kill him."

Wang Guifeng couldn't help crying softly, "Miaomiao, can we still leave?"

"Of course we can. We weren't trafficked here. We entered the village with permission, so they wouldn't dare stop us. But we have to pretend we didn't notice anything. We can't let them see through us, okay?"

"Ok, I know."

They stayed at the village chief's house at night.

[Same time: Village Chief's Room

"Dad, I don't want the previous woman anymore. I want that reporter." The village chief's eldest son Zhang Ping became more and more excited the more he thought about it. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists. He wanted to take action now.

"You bastard! What are you thinking about?" The village chief scolded his ignorant son.

"Dad, you don't want a grandson anymore?" Zhang Ping retorted with his neck stiff.

"Don't try to stop me with that! Even if you want to continue the family line, the two women in that room must not be touched! These reporters are from Beijing. If something really happens and they're investigated, what will you do to your brother? Are you going to sacrifice your relatives for the sake of justice?

He's at a critical juncture in his career, and there can't be any problems within his jurisdiction," the village chief said sternly.

The village chief’s second son is Zhang An, who is the deputy director of the local police station.

"But...if we let them go...what if they go back..." Zhang Ping frowned and expressed his concerns.

"Let's see the situation tomorrow. If they don't find anything and leave here properly, then that's it. If they have other intentions, we can only make them disappear completely." The village chief made the decision with a gloomy face.

"It's such a shame if it disappears. The second brother and I will just share one each. If you want one, you have priority. I won't be picky." Zhang Ping fought for it desperately.

"You bastard! You can't touch people you shouldn't touch. You just stay here quietly. When another group of people comes, you can pick whatever you want. These people are definitely not acceptable!" The village chief glared at Zhang Ping with a stern tone that left no room for questioning.

After hearing the old man's lecture, Zhang Ping was still somewhat reluctant, but he had no choice but to nod and say, "I understand."

At worst, they will die here tomorrow. Anyway, someone will definitely seek justice for them. Wang Guifeng suddenly thought it through and was no longer as conflicted and afraid as before.

Now, when she thought of the drunk Li Bo, she became furious and her anger was rising.

"Li Bo is such a dead pig. He can't drink but he keeps drinking. Even if we want to run away now, we can't take him with us."

"I think there might be something wrong with the wine today." Liu Miaomiao frowned and speculated.

"Li Bo likes to drink. The editor-in-chief often brought him along when he went to social events. So, with his alcohol tolerance, he's definitely not someone who can be knocked out by just a few ounces of alcohol."

"But they are all drinking!" Wang Guifeng raised her question.

"Could there be something wrong with the cup?" Liu Miaomiao continued to analyze.

"Forget it, there's no point dwelling on this. What should we do tomorrow? Li Bo doesn't know anything right now."

When Wang Guifeng thought of this, she became worried. Although she had let it go, she still wanted to go back safely. She still had a lot of food she wanted to eat and new clothes she wanted to wear.

"It's better not to know. At least others won't easily find out the flaws." Liu Miaomiao said with a little relief.

"Yeah, that's true." Wang Guifeng nodded in agreement.

"Tomorrow we'll pretend we don't know anything and conduct a simple interview step by step. Then we'll say the content isn't rich and detailed enough to support a complete report and we'll have to give up. Let's see if we can leave smoothly!"

Liu Miaomiao could only think this way first. After she finished speaking, she patted Wang Guifeng.

"There's still some time. Go get some sleep first. I'll be watching over you tonight."

"No, I'll stay with you. Even if you let me sleep now, I wouldn't dare to." Wang Guifeng hugged Liu Miaomiao's arm tightly.

In this way, the two of them relied on each other until dawn.

At this time, Li Bo was...sleeping soundly.
