This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

He Jing's agile figure leaped into the air, as swift as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, he flipped over to the outside of the courtyard, blocking the woman's path.

Ye Xiaoxiao chased after her and cut off her escape route.

The alley wasn't wide, so Cuihua's escape wouldn't be easy. The roads in front and behind were completely blocked, and besides, those two people didn't look like easy targets.

Especially that tall man, whose cold, piercing gaze seemed to want to slowly torture him. His condescending manner made him look like a vengeful demon.

A deep, chilling voice rang out: "Tell me the truth! I don't usually lay a hand on women, otherwise..."

"Explain what? I don't know what you're talking about!" Cuihua adopted a "what's the worst that can happen?" attitude, intending to deny everything.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly: "Trying to impress me, huh?"

She walked up to the woman, grabbed her collar, and slapped Cuihua several times across the face with both hands.

"Just because he doesn't hit women doesn't mean I won't! Stop talking nonsense! Tell me! Where's the girl you took away?" Ye Xiaoxiao's face tightened, her dark eyes growing colder.

He Jing had never seen Ye Xiaoxiao like this before. In recent days, she had always been bright and cheerful, with a clear and innocent smile; he seemed to have... forgotten her from before.

He walked over and gently took Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, rubbing the reddened area lightly. Sometimes, silent comfort is more effective.

Several handprints immediately appeared on the woman's face, and it swelled up, showing how strong Ye Xiaoxiao's hand was.

"Do you remember now?" He Jing's thumb was still unconsciously stroking the hand in his palm, but his expression was becoming more and more tense, and his dark eyes were becoming increasingly cold.

Under the heavy pressure of the man's aura, Cuihua hunched over slightly, not daring to meet his terrifying gaze.

As she replied, she habitually glanced at Ye Xiaoxiao, inwardly praising her.

With a lowered gaze, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he had already made another plan in his mind.

This girl is really good-looking!

You couldn't find anyone in the surrounding area who could rival her. If I could get my hands on her... I could definitely sell her for a good price, and then I wouldn't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life, right?

Ignoring the burning pain on her face, she immediately put on a pitiful expression and said, "There really was a child who took pity on me and brought me back. He drank some water at my house and left. He's such a good child. That's how it is when you get old, sigh!"

After speaking, he even patted his lower back in a very professional manner.

Looking at the woman's appearance, Ye Xiaoxiao knew why A Yang had gone with her.

Playing the victim can easily fool kind-hearted children.

That's precisely why it's so hateful!

Those with malicious intentions exploit children's innocence and kindness, only to push them into an abyss of no return.

People like this should go to hell!

Cuihua looked towards her front door, but the people inside didn't come out for a long time.

Ye Xiaoxiao remained silent, a hint of mockery in her eyes. They've even dared to plot against me? How naive!

Cuihua then turned her gaze to Ye Xiaoxiao and looked her over. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that she was a cash cow for her, and she was just waiting for Er Mazi to come out and cooperate with her.

It doesn't matter that the two smaller ones ran away, since the one in front of us is more valuable.

The two of them had perfect chemistry and had fooled countless people over the years with their tricks; they certainly wouldn't fail this time either.

Lost in her fantasy, she was completely unaware of why Er Mazi hadn't come out yet.

She never imagined that Ye Xiaoxiao knew everything she was thinking.

Ran?

Knowing that He Wuyang had escaped the thieves' den, Ye Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved.

She said, "Alright! Stop pretending! Do you think you're a good actor? Ridiculous! A menace like you can live for many more years, but once you're in jail, who knows what will happen."

Upon hearing that they were going to take her to see the officials, Cuihua instantly turned pale, her chin trembled, and it took her a long time to find her voice.

She immediately knelt down and begged, "Please, don't send me to see the officials. Please—the two children ran away from there."

"I've kowtowed to you! I know I was wrong, I'll tell you everything I know! What else do you want to know? I'll tell you everything! Please, don't take me to see the officials..."
