Chapter 264: I'll Take the Person for 2,000 Yuan
"Boss, this woman is really pretty. Why don't you let us boys have a little fun with her first?"
The skinny guy with a sneaky look glanced at Jia Shu, who was sitting on the ground indifferently.
Her hands were tied, and her mouth was stuffed with a piece of cloth.
She seemed to be in a dazed state, probably terrified, but she wasn't hysterical like other women, nor was she crying.
But she was really beautiful.
Especially her pale skin, which made her look delicate and tender.
It made one's heart itch.
Brother Cheng slapped the skinny guy across the face.
"What are you thinking about all day? This girl is a virgin. Someone as naturally beautiful as her can fetch a good price. If you guys touch her, I'll end up losing money."
The skinny guy sulked, "Boss, being pretty is one thing, but pretty women like her are hard to discipline. How can we not teach her a lesson? Didn't you see that when we took her today, she almost bit my hand off?"
"That's not acceptable either. She's my money maker. Her photo's already been sent over there, and they say the boss over there has already taken a liking to her, offering a full twenty thousand yuan. I heard they're taking her directly to Hong Kong; that boss owns a nightclub there and needs women like her.
Once properly trained, she can earn big money. They said a virgin can fetch this price; if she's not, she won't be worth more than two thousand yuan. So you need to behave yourself."
The skinny guy glanced at her and thought, what a waste.
He didn't expect this woman to be worth so much.
"This woman is really unlucky, getting stuck with parents like that! Knowing what business we're in, they dared to hand their daughter over to us to settle a debt. Her brother tried to mess with us too, even attempted to cheat us out of money, but we caught him in the act.
He cried his eyes out, kowtowing and admitting his mistakes, almost licking Brother Cheng's shoes in desperation.
With a brother like that, she's truly unlucky. An innocent girl sent to us to settle a debt, a girl only worth a thousand yuan, such bad luck."
"You better say less. Meeting us was actually fortunate for her. If her parents had other thoughts, they might have sold her to some remote village to be someone's wife, and she'd never have a chance to escape in her lifetime. At least with us, she can eat and drink well.
Anyway, given her brother's ways, it's only a matter of time before she ends up like this, it's just a question of sooner or later."
Brother Cheng was speaking loud enough for Jia Shu to hear.
Jia Shu remained motionless, as if she were dead.
Brother Cheng and the others played cards, waiting for the right time to move.
There was a knock on the door.
Brother Cheng looked at the others.
Immediately, everyone became alert; after all, in their line of work, the greatest fear is being caught by the police.
"Who is it?"
The skinny guy, holding a stick, hid behind the door and asked.
"It's Dachuan, Jin Dachuan! I'm here to discuss something with Brother Cheng."
Upon hearing this, Brother Cheng frowned. Jin Dachuan was much more influential than him in this territory.
His reputation preceded him, everyone respected Jin Dachuan!
However, he was known not to engage in shady dealings, but he had a group of highly skilled and loyal men, so in this business, no one dared to mess with Jin Dachuan.
Since they didn't interfere with each other's business, everyone gave Jin Dachuan face.
Also, they couldn't afford to provoke him. Jin Dachuan was famous for taking down a notorious thug, Xiao Ermao, with fifty men; his men did it with just ten people.
It's said that Jin Dachuan himself took down thirty men, just because Xiao Ermao extorted protection fees from one of his brother's shops.
Even boarded up the shop and broke his brother's limbs.
When those men were sent to the police station, they were wailing to get in; the police station became sought after, showing just how fearsome Jin Dachuan was.
They would avoid trouble if they could, certainly wouldn't provoke it.
He gestured to open the door.
Jin Dachuan came in with three others, surprisingly two men and a woman.
No one else followed behind.
The skinny guy felt relieved.
As long as they weren't here to cause trouble.
"Brother Dachuan, you're here, please have a seat!"
Brother Cheng looked at Jin Dachuan and then at the others; these three looked unfamiliar, and one of them was even a girl.
This girl was quite stunning, even more so than Jia Shu.
But he didn't dare to stare. The man beside her sensed his gaze and immediately gave him a cold and hostile look.
Jiang Xiaoxiao locked eyes with Jia Shu, her heart racing, but she controlled herself.
Kept her expression calm.
She couldn't blow this.
There were seven or eight of them, clearly up to no good, just a bunch of street thugs and hooligans.
If she showed anything, it would make it difficult for Brother Dachuan to negotiate.
"Brother Cheng, don't be polite; I'm here to discuss some business with you."
Dachuan glanced at Jia Shu, who appeared dazed and disheartened; is this the person Song Moting and the others were looking for?
Brother Cheng courteously poured some tea, "Brother Dachuan, if there's something you need, you could have just sent someone; there was no need for you to come personally. What business do you wish to discuss?"
He wondered why Dachuan wanted to talk business with him?
They weren't in the same line of work.
He dealt in shady deals, while Dachuan was a respectable businessman, leading a transportation team that had ventured far and wide; supposedly, nobody in their region dared to disrespect Dachuan.
Whenever anyone mentioned Jin Dachuan, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"Who is this?"
Jin Dachuan pointed at Jia Shu.
Brother Cheng felt a chill; why was he suddenly asking about this woman?
"This woman was sold to us by her family; you know what kind of business we're in; she was given to us to settle a debt."
Brother Cheng tentatively asked, "Brother Dachuan, do you happen to know this woman? If you do, that's another matter. I didn't know this Jia Shu was with you! If I had known, I never would've done this; her parents sold her to us for a thousand yuan, so my hands were tied."
Jin Dachuan smirked, knowing Brother Cheng was playing games with him.
"I actually do know this Jia Shu. How about this, I'll take her for two thousand yuan. Can't let you take a loss, Brother Cheng."
Did he really think I wouldn't dare say anything?
The Jia family's parents were truly despicable, though Brother Cheng's words held some deceit, he was mostly spot on, they really did such things too.
Brother Cheng's face darkened.
Was he serious!
"Brother Dachuan, are you serious?"
That was his cash cow, worth twenty thousand yuan.
"Two thousand yuan, no less!"
Jin Dachuan slapped down two thousand on the table, nodded at Song Moting and the others.
"Go ahead and take her!"
There was no time to waste; Jin Dachuan knew Brother Cheng too well, human traffickers, not a decent one among them.
He Aiguo stepped forward, ready to carry Jia Shu.
Brother Cheng slammed the table.
"Brother Dachuan, wait a minute! Just taking her like this isn't right, is it?"
He was anxious too, his money, no one could mess with money.
Jin Dachuan blocking his financial road, even the Emperor himself couldn't do that.
The rest of the guys immediately drew their iron rods; facing Jin Dachuan made them nervous, yet they had to grit their teeth and step forward.
If not, the boss would certainly deal with them later.
