In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

Chapter 190 Encountering a Kidnapper on the Road

Chen Ruotong sat in the carriage, and various scenes of her acquaintance with Qiao Zien kept emerging in her mind.

She recalled that she had tried her best to take care of him, but at that time she only regarded him as a child who needed protection or an admirable academic master, and did not have any other special feelings for him.

Although she is a sixteen-year-old girl, her heart is that of an old aunt!

In my previous life, I had experienced everything I should have experienced, and I had no intention of talking about love.

Although she likes to admire handsome men, it is just an aesthetic enjoyment. Therefore, she hopes that Qiao Zien will not misunderstand her feelings.

Besides, that's not right. Qiao Zien said that he is not gay! Could he have been turned gay by himself? Just thinking about it makes me shudder!

At this time, the government postman brought the good news letter written by Qiao Zien to Chen Ruotong.

Chen Ruotong took the letter, opened it, took a look, smiled, and thought of the poem: "In the past, transportation was slow, letters were far away, and a lifetime was only enough to love one person."

Afterwards, Chen Ruotong boarded the carriage, while Qiao Zien returned to the carriage. The two carriages slowly drove towards the capital.

At the same time, Fang Wenxuan, who was standing in place, watched the carriage moving farther and farther away, and his mood became increasingly heavy and sad.

He realized that despite his deep love for Qiao Zien, he was always treated coldly.

Perhaps, he can only love this person deeply in this life, and there will be no room for anyone else in his heart.

But what will be the outcome of this infatuation? Only time will tell...

There were elderly people on both carriages, so the journey was slow. After a whole day, they finally arrived at Chaoyang Prefecture at dusk.

Qiao Zien got off the car and went to look for an inn. The two carriages went to Yuelai Inn for accommodation.

After Chen Ruotong requested five superior rooms, everyone had dinner on the first floor.

"Grandpa, are the food here to your liking?" Chen Ruotong asked with concern.

"Yes, but of course it can't compare with home..." Old man Chen felt that no place was better than home.

Chen Ruotong took out a small bottle of red wine and said, "Grandpa, Uncle Qiao, please try this wine. How is it?"

As she spoke, she filled the glasses of wine for the two old men, and also filled a glass of wine for Qiao Zien, "We've been walking all day, and we're all tired. Drink some wine to relieve your fatigue. Zien, drink less too, you won't get drunk!"

Chen Ruotong also poured herself a glass of wine. The six masters and servants sat at a dining table, raised their glasses, and drank them all.

Old man Chen smacked his lips and said with a smile, "Good wine, I've never drunk it before!"

"That's right, Grandpa. This is shipped from overseas! It tastes really good..."

Qiao Zien watched Chen Ruotong fooling the old man and couldn't stop laughing, but she was afraid of being discovered, so she had to hold back her laughter, and her face turned red.

He turned his head and wanted to laugh out loud, but was suddenly met with a pair of cunning eyes.

It turned out that a middle-aged couple in their thirties had been eyeing this table for a long time. The man quickly avoided Qiao Zien's gaze and pretended to chat with the woman next to him.

Qiao Zien's heart sank, and he felt that these two people must be bad people. So, he became alert and carefully observed their actions.

When Chen Ruotong and others finished their meal, Qiao Zien looked at the couple again and found that they had disappeared.

After everyone went back to their rooms to rest, Qiao Zien came to Chen Ruotong's door and knocked gently.

Chen Ruotong opened the door and asked in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Qiao Zien lowered her voice and said, "Guchuan, when we were eating just now, did you notice the couple at the next table? I don't think they are good people. They kept staring at us, as if they had some intention!"

Chen Ruotong was originally dazed, and after drinking a glass of wine, she was even more confused. But when she heard what Qiao Zien said, she immediately woke up, widened her eyes and asked: "What? Is someone trying to rob us of our money? Or is he trying to do something bad to us?"

Qiao Zien looked at Chen Ruotong and shook her head helplessly: "Gu Chuan, are you drunk? How could you think of this? Those two people must have some conspiracy, but it is not clear what it is.

Maybe we'll know when we turn off the lights and go to bed. I think it's better for you to go into the space and rest. What if they use the incense to knock us out like you said, and then rob or kill us to silence us? "

Chen Ruotong began to get nervous after hearing what Qiao Zien said: "What about Grandpa and the others? Will they be in danger?"

Qiao Zien comforted her and said, "Don't worry, I'll go check out the situation first, find the room they're staying in, and see what they want to do. If they're really here to rob and kill, then just kill them!"

Chen Ruotong nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Okay, then you are responsible for killing people, and I'll be responsible for escaping trouble, hehehe..."

After Qiao Zien left Chen Ruotong's room, she began to search the entire inn as quickly as possible.

He first searched every corner on the third floor but did not see the couple.

Then he went to the second floor and found nothing suspicious. However, when he passed a room, he noticed a young couple coaxing three or four children to sleep.

Afterwards, Qiao Zien came to the side room on the first floor, which was a lower-class room. He stood outside the window, quietly listening to the movements in the room.

Through the gaps in the window, you could hear a child sobbing and a woman cursing softly from inside the house.

Qiao Zien pushed the window open a tiny crack and looked inside.

I saw a middle-aged couple sitting in the house. They had fierce faces and were muttering something. They were the couple.

There were a dozen or so children in their teens, some of whom were lying on the ground sleeping, while others seemed to have woken up and were sobbing quietly.

Suddenly, the woman picked up a cup, walked towards one of the crying children, and forced some liquid into his mouth.

After that, the child immediately stopped crying and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

Apparently, the woman drugged the children in order to quiet them down and make them sleep.

Qiao Zien was shocked and immediately realized: It turned out that these two people were human traffickers! He then thought of the three children he saw in the room on the second floor. If these two people were really human traffickers, then wouldn't those children be in danger?

Thinking about herself and Chen Guchuan, they were too good-looking and might become targets of human traffickers. Thinking of this, Qiao Zien couldn't help but frowned. It seemed that tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

He quickly returned to the third floor and knocked on Chen Ruotong's door:

“Furukawa, as expected, they are not good people at all, but two hateful human traffickers.

I just found a low-class room in a remote corner of the first floor. It should be the hideout of those two kidnappers.

In addition, I suspect that a child in a room on the second floor is also their target. Let's go over there and take a look. Maybe we can wait for him."

After saying that, Qiao Zien took Chen Ruotong to the room on the second floor where the child was.

Chen Ruotong immediately entered the space, while Qiao Zien hid in a dark corner, quietly waiting for the two human traffickers to come and commit the crime.
