Qin Dandan recounted, “With time, I gradually became familiar with the people in the village and learned some insider information.”
Qin Dandan continued, “For more than thirty years, Osmanthus Village would abduct young female outsiders to give birth to children for male residents. Once the man was satisfied with the child, the woman would be sold to other places. The cycle would repeat until the woman died… There was also a basement in the village, which was filled with girls who had been kidnapped from all over the world. Everyone in the village had already regarded this as a means of earning money.”
Qin Dandan wiped away her tears and proceeded, “There was a period of time when I wanted to give up. Other than people who were kidnapped like me, no one else came to the village. That night, the village chief suddenly held a banquet and said that two fat sheep had come to the village. The fat sheep were extremely wealthy. Coincidentally, I could talk to the Aunty who cooked, so I told her that I would serve the dishes later, and she agreed. I then wrote a life-saving note in advance. When I brought the dishes to President He and Mrs. He, I pretended to accidentally knock the dishes over Mrs. He and took the opportunity to stuff the note to her! Mrs. He reacted very quickly. She even sang and asked us some questions in a foreign language. She told us about her plan and successfully brought us out.”
At this point, Qin Dandan remembered that they had separated from Chen Wei’er and the others halfway through. She asked the police, “How is President He and Mrs. He? Are the two of them back?”
“Yes, they are back.” The police officer nodded. According to their information, President He was seriously injured and still in the operating room. However, the news had been blocked by the He Group. After all, if such news were to spread, it would be very detrimental to the stability of the company. Therefore, the police did not say much to Qin Dandan and the others.
The lawyer also said, “I’m the lawyer of Born From the Sun Studio. President Chen is doing very well. She is safe and sound. Thank you for your concern.” “You’re from Born From the Sun Studio?” Qin Dandan looked at the lawyer with envy. “When I was on the road, I heard news about you. I used to be a reporter. Later, I want to do a special report on trafficking. If possible, I want to cooperate with you!”
“When you’re settled, you can come to the studio to find us. We welcome you anytime.” The lawyer handed her a business card. “You just came back. You have stayed in a place like Osmanthus Village for so long. Your body’s nutrition must be lacking. My suggestion is that you don’t have to rush to work first and recuperate. After that, we can meet. After all, this is a long battle.”
When Qin Dandan heard the lawyer’s words, she felt greatly comforted and nodded. “Yes! I understand.”
At the same time, Lu Haiying’s statement was more complicated than the others because she had a child. In order to take care of her parents’ feelings, Lu Haiying did not let her parents come in with her. It was Gu Xiao who accompanied her to make the statement.
Gu Xiao did not know the reason for Lu Haiying’s disappearance. Now that he heard about it, he hated himself for not being by her side. Every word and sentence was like a knife stabbing into his heart!
“At that time, because of that man’s words, the passers-by believed him. Not only did they not save me, but they even advised me to go back with my supposed husband for the sake of the child… No matter how I struggled, I couldn’t escape. When I woke up, my whole body hurt, and I was hungry. I was locked up in a basement with four or five other girls.”
Lu Haiying continued, “But compared to them, I’m still considered better. I couldn’t forget the other girls’ faces. Some of them had their tongues pulled out. Some had their fingernails shattered, and one of them had her kneecap dug out… I was afraid that I would become like them, so I finally stopped resisting. After that, I was sold to Osmanthus Village and had this child…”
When Lu Haiying finished calmly speaking, Gu Xiao had already clenched his fists tightly. His heart was bleeding. He wished he could fly to Osmanthus Village right now and find the people who hurt Lu Haiying. He wanted to kill them all.
When the police officer was taking Lu Haiying’s statement, he also felt sorry for her experience.
Gu Xiao stood behind Lu Haiying and silently gave her strength. He looked at her back and regretted not going out with her that year. He made up his mind that no matter where Lu Haiying went in the future, he would always be by her side.. He would not let her leave his sight—not even for a second…
