CHAPTER 1028: 214 ACHIEVING LITTLE, RUINING MUCH_6

The surname Murong is rare, suggesting that this girl must come from a notable background. Earlier, she hesitated about whether to reveal her real name, as she pondered in her heart whether I was someone trustworthy. In the end, she chose to tell the truth.

The girl smiled slightly, "Thank you."

Observing her eat, although with urgency, it was evident that she had received good upbringing.

Ah Yun brought over a basin of water, washed the girl’s face, and lent her one of Ah Yun’s dresses. Although it was still loose, it was much cleaner and neater. Ah Yun combed her hair into a ponytail. The girl, with a clean face, appeared very pretty, with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows, exuding the charm of a classical beauty. However, her young features were still unformed, making her seem quite innocent and delicate. Observing her brow ridge, Yun Ya thought this girl would undoubtedly grow up to be a stunning beauty, capable of enchanting nations.

While the girl changed clothes, Yun Ya noticed many whip marks on her delicate skin—some recent, some faded scars from long ago—strikingly visible on her frail frame.

Ah Yun said with heartache, "What kind of beast could raise a hand against such a young child?"

"Does it hurt?" Ah Yun asked with concern.

The girl shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt. My brother endured a lot for me; his injuries are more serious."

Suddenly, Yun Ya’s gaze fell on the girl’s neck where a jade pendant instantly caught her attention, though she subtly kept her gaze lowered.

No stone unturned.

This rescue, it seems, was destined by fate.

A station arrived, and the train slowly halted. Then, a large crowd of people disembarked, while another group boarded. Outside the train window, the flow of people was constant. Amidst the crowd, two small figures slowly wriggled their way through, nearly stepping out of the train door. Freedom was waving at them. The expressions of surprise on their faces hadn’t yet fully formed before their mouths and noses were covered, and they were dragged back inside by their waists.

Everyone was pushing and shoving to get out, no one noticed the children struggling.

"Little brats, still trying to run?" a man said with a sinister smile as he carried the two back to the room and kicked Zhao Zhuo, knocking him over.

The other boy trembled, hanging his head deeply.

Someone nearby grabbed him, "Second, enough already, don’t hit them. We can settle this later."

"Damn it, trying to escape? Just wait; if I don’t skin you alive, you’ll never know the means of Second Master Wei." His eyes fierce like a wolf’s.

Zhao Zhuo clutched his chest, struggling to sit up, his face pale with fear.

Second Master Wei sneered, "What are you pretending for? Tell me, where is that kid?"

Zhao Zhuo bit his lip, "I don’t know."

"You disappeared together and don’t know? You even dared to cut Doggy’s root, truly underestimated you and your guts." The man laughed as he circled the two.

Zhao Zhuo’s face became increasingly pale. In a low voice, he said, "We went separate ways at that time, I really don’t know where he went."

Second Master Wei’s gaze turned to the boy beside him, prodding him with his foot, "You, spit it out. Where did that kid run off to?"

The boy shook like a sieve, "I... I don’t know..."

"You..." Second Master Wei slapped the boy hard across the face, knocking him to the ground. Covering his burning cheek, the boy silently cried, "Mom, brother, please come save me."

"Enough," Boss declared, "No more hitting."

Second Master Wei said viciously, "These little brats won’t speak the truth unless they see some color."

Boss frowned, "I’m aware, but how many times have I stressed to you, no hitting? What if something gets broken, have you thought of the consequences?"

Second Master Wei gritted his teeth, "Then what should we do?"

"How is Fourth doing?" Boss asked with knitted brows, his gaze falling on someone lying on the opposite bed, unable to get up, with his eyes turning increasingly grim.

This time, nothing must go wrong.

Second Master Wei stepped aside to make a phone call, "Those idiots, they actually alerted the train attendants."

Boss’s frown deepened, "Incapable fools." Finishing his sentence, he stood up, "You stay here, I’ll go take a look."

The two who barged into the women’s restroom hadn’t run far before being caught by the train attendants. They muttered excuses for a long time, claiming they couldn’t read and mistook the women’s restroom for the men’s, which led to the misunderstanding. The train attendants lectured them for a while, but seeing their honest, peasant-like appearance with no issues on their IDs, they eventually let them go.

"What do we do now?"
