Chapter 460: Chapter 247: Human Traffickers Beaten to Death? No, Tortured to Death! (3)

From the outfits of the little girl’s parents, anyone with eyes could tell they were either rich or noble.

Even if you weren’t paying attention, didn’t you see those bodyguards watching closely outside the Changchun Temple?

These big brothers seemed united in their hatred, possibly suggesting a streak of chivalry, but who could guarantee they weren’t simply trying to make an impression in front of this couple?

The bottom line is, if you provoke people like this, the couple can only be more careful in their next life!

The little girl’s father appeared calm, but everyone could sense it was merely the calm before the storm.

"Clap clap clap!"

The little girl’s father clapped his hands, and the two rows of bodyguards outside the door instantly surrounded them.

The little girl’s father didn’t look at the head bodyguard but instead focused on one of the less conspicuous bodyguards.

"Xiaocai, if I remember correctly, your village should be nearby, right?"

The bodyguard who was called inhaled deeply and replied in a steady voice, "Yes, not far from here, roughly over two hills."

"Two hills, huh?"

The little girl’s father nodded and then lowered his head to look at the couple on the ground, calmly saying, "How about we play a game?"

"..."

The human trafficker couple looked warily at the little girl’s father without replying.

They were more aware than anyone of the burning rage inside the little girl’s father.

Seeing they wouldn’t respond, the little girl’s father did not appear angry and continued smiling, "As long as you play this game with me, if you win, I will let you leave, how about that?"

"What assurance do you offer?!"

The male trafficker didn’t speak, but the middle-aged woman was tempted and asked in return.

Staying here now, they would surely be engulfed by the furious mob around them, possibly leaving their lives here.

Even if they miraculously waited for the police, upon arrival they’d be taken away, investigated, and likely be sentenced to death without reprieve.

"Do you have a choice?"

The little girl’s father looked at them with a half-smile, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

"Okay, tell us!"

Faced with the closing in bodyguards, between being instantly killed and perhaps getting a suspended sentence, the trafficker couple opted to play the game.

"Very good."

The little girl’s father was very pleased with their compliance.

With just a glance, Xiaocai instantly understood and pointed in a direction.

The little girl’s father, hands in pockets, calmly said, "Do you see the direction he’s pointing?"

"From here to that village over there, it’s roughly two hills away."

"You start first. When you climb up the first hill, I’ll send my men to follow you."

"As long as you can reach that village before my people catch you, you will have won this cat-and-mouse game."

The trafficker couple, upon hearing this, instantly felt bewildered, exchanged a glance, full of doubt.

"Is it really that simple?"

The middle-aged woman asked incredulously.

"Just to remind you, your choices are only to play or not to play."

The little girl’s father lifted his wrist, correcting the time, and spoke calmly again:

"Don’t even think about escaping another way; otherwise, I guarantee you’ll die a more horrible death."

The surrounding Incense Burners, upon hearing this, immediately got anxious and urged:

"Big Brother, these beasts deserve death. We cannot let them roam free!"

"Yes, Big Brother, if your heart is soft like the Bodhisattva’s, and you can’t bring yourself to do it, we can do it on your behalf. No one ever heard of anyone going to jail for killing traffickers!"

"Yeah, it’s been years since any traffickers were killed; our hands are itching for action."

"..."

At first, the term ’human trafficker’ seemed reserved for TV dramas and novels, thus never truly stirred strong feelings within people.

But seeing such people in real life stirred a surge of emotion within everyone suddenly.

Not for anything else, but to harshly beat them up!

Even if it meant going home to kneel on a washboard, it would be done with pride!

The trafficker couple on the ground, witnessing the scene, dared not delay.

Glancing at the little girl’s father, they didn’t dare look back, darting straight out the door.

As the silhouettes of the trafficker couple grew further away, the surrounding Incense Burners got anxious.

The friends in the livestream chat were also getting impatient.

"No way, how could he just let them go? Damn!"

"That mountain is so big; if they run randomly, how will anyone find them?"

"And letting them run a full hill ahead first, even if they actually follow the rules, normal folks couldn’t catch up!"

"Too reckless! Brother Sect Leader, get moving and don’t actually let these scums escape!"

"..."

However, before anyone in the livestream chat could voice their doubts, a buzzing sound was heard.

The head bodyguard retrieved two drones from the car, which flew towards the direction where the trafficker couple ran.

Some observant Incense Burners could vaguely see that the drones had something gleaming coldly hooked onto their claws.

The friends in the livestream chat, upon seeing this, marveled repeatedly.

"Goodness! No wonder they were so confident, turns out they were prepared."

"I underestimated the world of the wealthy; drones are used for surveillance, so even if that trafficker couple tries to escape, they can’t shake off the drones."

"Hey, buddy, your statement seems too definitive. What if that couple suddenly evolved and precisely hit the drones with thrown stones, they could still escape."

"Trafficker couple: You are all good people, thank you, really."
