Chapter 321 Dog bites dog
Although the woman dared not speak, she couldn't help but curse Lin Shao and his men in her heart. These bastards! If she had known, she would have tied them up tighter or sent someone to watch them. Now they had broken free of the ropes and dared to treat her like this.
Once I escape, I will make those people pay the price.
Lin Shao could tell what the woman was thinking just from her resentful eyes. He sneered and said, "What, you're still not convinced?"
"No, no, no," the woman said, concealing her true thoughts. "Young master, you misunderstand."
"What happened before wasn't what you all know. Actually, I didn't want to kidnap you."
"Okay, then tell me, what were you planning to do by tying us up before?"
“I didn’t kidnap you,” the woman said, trying to come up with a reason in her mind. “I just wanted to play a joke on you.”
The woman thought to herself that these men had helped her when she pretended to need help before, and even sent her home, which showed that they were inherently kind and foolish. Even if they had somehow escaped the ropes, they probably couldn't change their kind and foolish nature.
The reason they are treating me this way is simply because they resent me for kidnapping them. If I can just make them believe that I didn't really want to kidnap them, I might be able to tie them up again.
The woman was tempted by the amount the man from Chunxiang Pavilion had given her, and she resolved to tie up the five men again later.
If I can sell these five people to Chunxianglou, the amount they'll give me is, without exaggeration, enough to complete dozens of ordinary business deals. After all, people like Lin Shao and his companions are rare finds.
A greedy glint appeared on the woman's face, which made Shangguan Ying unable to resist slapping the woman hard across the face.
The woman's face immediately swelled up. Shangguan Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Even at a time like this, you still want to sell us out. You've got some nerve."
The woman felt the excruciating pain on her face, and her hatred deepened, but she forced herself to endure it, managing a smile as she said, "Girl, what are you saying? How could I possibly sell you?"
Xu Yun'er looked at the hand that Shangguan Ying had used to slap the woman and said with heartache, "Ying'er, why did you use your hand to hit such trash? Why dirty your hands?"
"It's okay, I won't use my hands next time."
The woman watched as Xu Yun'er and Shangguan Ying talked as if no one else was around, completely ignoring her. The ingratiating expression on her face almost crumbled.
“Two young ladies and three young gentlemen, I really didn’t mean to kidnap you. Otherwise, how would you have had the chance to untie the ropes now?”
Looking at the woman who was still trying to explain herself, even Yin Hu rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Her acting is terrible. I wonder how Chen Feng and Lin Shao were fooled before."
Thinking of this, Yin Hu couldn't help but look at Lin Shao and the others with disdain. Yin Hu's gaze was very noticeable. After noticing the disdain in Yin Hu's eyes, the five of them looked at each other, feeling somewhat embarrassed and ashamed.
They didn't know why they could see the disgust on that furry cat's face, but they just could.
Thinking of this, when they looked at the woman again, they wanted nothing more than to tear her to pieces. Their kindness had harmed them, and in the end, they were only saved by the teacher's cat. The more they thought about it, the more they hated the woman.
They are kind, that's true, but it depends on the person. They're not stupid when it comes to people who want to harm them. After this incident, they won't be so indiscriminately kind in the future.
In fact, they should thank this woman for teaching them this lesson, so they should also thank her properly.
"How about we give them a taste of their own medicine?" Lin Junyuan said.
Lin Shao's eyes lit up. "Brother, that's a good idea."
Since this woman had wanted to sell them so badly before, then they would sell her too. The five men looked at the woman and had this thought in their minds at the same time.
The woman felt flustered by their stares and scrambled to her knees before the five men, kowtowing repeatedly and pleading, "Please, gentlemen, spare me. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have kidnapped you."
"Please, gentlemen, spare me! I will repay you by serving you like an ox or a horse."
The woman thought that if she kowtowed a few times, the five men would soften their hearts, but even after she had kowtowed until her head was bleeding, Lin Shao and the others still looked at her mockingly, without the slightest bit of sympathy, and the woman became more and more terrified.
Having been involved in human trafficking for so long, she naturally knew that those who were sold would not have a good ending. But back then, she was the seller, and when she saw those trafficked people begging her for mercy, she felt only arrogance. But now that she was the one being sold, she couldn't help but feel panicked.
The thought that she would one day suffer the same abuse and beatings as those she had sold before, living a life worse than death, made the woman's face turn pale. No, she absolutely could not let these people sell her.
Not only the woman, but also her accomplice who had been pretending to faint trembled uncontrollably upon hearing Lin Shao and the others' words; they knew they wouldn't let him go either.
Seeing that Lin Shao and his group's attention was focused on the woman, the accomplice scrambled to his feet and tried to run away, but before he could, Lin Shao kicked him back to the ground. "What, still trying to run?"
Seeing Lin Shao's face devoid of any warmth, his companion swallowed hard, his own face as pale as the woman's. "Young heroes, please spare me."
“She was the one who kidnapped you all.” The accomplice pointed at the woman and said, “I knew nothing about it.”
Upon hearing her accomplice's words, the woman immediately objected. This was something they had discussed together, yet now they were trying to shift all the blame onto her. There was no such thing as a free lunch.
"Don't try to play dumb." The woman glared at her accomplice and said, "It was clearly you who brought this up with me first, otherwise I wouldn't have tricked them into coming here."
"To be precise, you are the mastermind behind this, and it was you who told me to sell them to Chunxianglou."
“You’re lying.” His accomplice protested, “You were the one who conspired with the madam of Chunxiang Pavilion and then sent me to make the contact. Now you can’t deny it.”
"It's you……"
Lin Shao and his group watched the woman and her accomplices fighting like dogs, and finally clapped their hands, saying, "This dog-eat-dog show is really entertaining. Keep performing, and maybe we'll let you go when we're in a better mood."
The woman and her accomplice paused, realizing their scheme had been exposed. Continuing was problematic, but not continuing was equally problematic. They cursed Lin Shao and his companions inwardly.
Finally, the woman looked at Lin Shao and gritted her teeth, saying, "What exactly do you want?"
