Three months later, in the no-man’s land on the border, Lek Pradesh.

　　Tan Li was sent to the office of the human trafficker boss.

　　It is called an office, but it is actually just a small stone house.

　　The stone house is located in a patch of reeds that are taller than a person’s head. It looks ordinary from the outside, like an abandoned and dilapidated house.

　　The interior was also very simple, with a wooden floor, a dim chandelier overhead, and the curtains drawn, leaving only a thin gap. In the light that came through, one could see tiny particles floating in the air.

　　There is also a wooden table, 3 sofas and a carpet.

　　Although there are few things, the materials are good.

　　The sofa is made of real leather, but because it has been used for a long time, there are some cracks on the corners. The wooden table looks simple, but the table top is covered with a layer of bulletproof iron sheet.

　　As for the carpet.

　　Under the dim light, it looks black at first glance, and seems to be dark red upon closer inspection. But maybe because time has passed, I can’t really tell what the original color and pattern were. It just feels hard when I step on it, not soft at all.

　　There is a wine cabinet on the wall, with various wine bottles placed in a messy manner. Some of the bottles are upside down, and the liquid inside can be seen shaking slightly.

　　The burly man who brought her here clasped his hands in front of him and lowered his head, “Boss, this is the person I was talking about.”

　　I don’t know if it was because he was nervous or too hot, but under the dim light, I could still see tiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

　　The boss he mentioned was sitting on the sofa behind the table. There was a long scar on the right side of his face, extending from the corner of his mouth, across his eyelid, and cutting off his thick black eyebrows.

　　Behind the scarred man stood two foreigners, wearing costumes of border countries. They stood straight and were always on guard around them. Their aura showed that they were people who had seen blood.

　　The man with the scar was dealing with something on his phone. He looked up when he heard the burly man’s words.

　　He first glanced at Tan Li.

　　At this time, Tan Li had already changed her clothes.

　　The pink sportswear that I borrowed from Tan Xinman at the beginning was replaced at some point and replaced with a set of black casual clothes, which looked like they were bought anywhere on the street and were unremarkable.

　　But even so, Tan Li is still good-looking.

　　Her face was not dirty due to being kidnapped, but clean instead.

　　The scarred man raised his eyebrows.

　　He was not amazed by Tan Li. To him, a woman’s beauty was just a bargaining chip to increase profits and was nothing surprising. On the contrary, Tan Li’s gaze that was looking straight at him at this time attracted his attention even more.

　　That gaze was calm, as calm as a lake without ripples.

　　Whether you are too stupid to see the situation clearly or just brave enough, it is a good selling point.

　　For people in their line of work, the more money the customers can afford, the more likely they are to have strange habits.

　　What’s the use of having good looks? Either you scream in fear to satisfy some people’s desire for destruction, or you are ignorant and naive to satisfy some people’s desire for training, or you are like Tan Li.

　　The more proud one is, the more one’s desire for conquest will be satisfied when one’s bones are broken and one crawls on the ground.

　　The harder the bones are, the higher the price they will be sold for.

　　As for products, they should always have some characteristics.

　　”Not bad.” The scarred man praised the burly man.

　　The burly man didn’t dare to be happy when he heard the compliment. He lowered his head even more. If you look closely, you can see that his knees are trembling slightly.

　　”You do these bad things, aren’t you afraid that you will get retribution one day?” Tan Li suddenly spoke.

　　The scarred man laughed out loud at her words, “Little girl, I don’t believe in gods or Buddhas.”

　　This cutely stupid little thing is not only brave but also naive. He needs to think carefully about which distinguished guests it is suitable for.

　　After hearing the scarred man’s answer, Tan Li blinked and said, “Aren’t you afraid of being punished by the law?”

　　The scarred man was in a good mood at the moment. He stood up, walked closer to Tan Li, pinched her chin and lifted it up, “Law? Little girl, the law doesn’t apply here.”

　　”Oh?” Tan Li smiled, “That’s great.”

　　?

　　Before the scarred man could even startle, the danger alarm in his heart began to beep. A chill ran through his heart, and his body reacted faster than his brain, and he wanted to retreat quickly.

　　With a “bang” sound.

　　The head was pressed deeply into the ground.

　　The strong impact caused a hole to appear in the fragile wooden floor, and wood chips flew everywhere.

　　Everything happened so fast that no one could see clearly what happened. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, the scarred man’s head had passed through the wooden floor and was pressed into the soil beneath the floor.

　　A dull sound followed, and the scarred man didn’t even have a chance to resist and had already lost consciousness.

　　The sawdust in the air slowly floated down, and the moment it was about to land on the scarred man’s face –

　　“Crack.”

　　The sound of bullets being loaded.

　　Tan Li took a leap, supported herself on the table with one hand, stretched out her right leg, and kicked upwards.

　　The pistol flew high, drawing an arc in the air.

　　Tan Li couldn’t let her raised foot go to waste, so she pressed it down mercilessly towards the face of one of the bodyguards.

　　His facial features began to deform, twist, and squeeze into a ball from the center of his forehead downwards. When the light in his eyes disappeared, the previous surprise still remained in the corners of his eyes.

　　“Click.”

　　”puff.”

　　The slight sound of the skull cracking was drowned out by the sound of the bullet hitting the flesh.

　　The second bodyguard watched helplessly as Tan Li easily dodged the trajectory of his bullet, but she kicked the body of the other bodyguard, whose life or death was unknown, towards the direction of the bullet.

　　The bullet fired in panic eventually hit the bodyguard’s heart.

　　From the moment the scarred man was attacked to the moment bodyguard one was shot, bodyguard two saw everything that happened clearly, but his brain’s reaction speed could not catch up.

　　At this moment, his mind was still on how the boss was suddenly attacked, but Tan Li had already flashed in front of him.

　　The scenery in his eyes seemed to be slowed down.

　　When Tan Li kicked the first bodyguard in the direction of the bullet, she did not even stop for a moment to see if she had kicked in the right direction, and attacked the second bodyguard directly.

　　The coldness in her eyes left a trail of light in the air.

　　It’s very dazzling.

　　The second bodyguard subconsciously blinked his eyes which were sore from the stimulation of the light. The moment he opened his eyes, Tan Li was already within reach.

　　What expression would she have?

　　Cruel? Bloodthirsty? Just?

　　He looked at Tan Li seriously: Oh, it turns out she has no expression at all, just like when she first stood in front of the scarred man, she had no expression at all.

　　Bodyguard Two didn’t know why, at this moment, he had the leisure to think about this kind of question.

　　He should think about how to save his life from this evil star, the second bodyguard thought.

　　The slow-motion movie in front of him seemed not to end yet.

　　Tan Li raised her hand and grabbed his hand, which was still holding a pistol that had just fired a bullet. Under an irresistible force, his hand and the pistol in his hand slowly, slowly moved upwards until –

　　The cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his own jaw.

　　……!

　　The cold and hard touch triggered a switch, and the scene that was surprisingly slow in the bodyguard’s eyes suddenly returned to normal speed.

　　He opened his mouth—

　　”Bang!”

　　The words “spare me” stayed in his throat without being uttered. He only saw blood splattering, like fragments of falling fireworks, dripping down drop by drop. The blood color in his eyes became more and more, until it covered both of his eyeballs, and the second bodyguard also stopped breathing.

　　Tan Li pulled the trigger and stepped back, but blood still splattered under her eyes without blinking.

　　She wiped it casually, but didn’t wipe it clean, leaving a faint trace of blood under her eye, adding a sense of weirdness.

　　“Pah.”

　　The pistol that Tan Li kicked away just now went through a beautiful parabola and finally fell to the ground, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy.

　　This sound seemed like a signal, waking up the sturdy man who brought Tan Li over.

　　With a “bang”, he collapsed on the ground uncontrollably, breathing heavily. The sweat on his forehead became violent and poured down like water poured on his head.

　　He didn’t dare to look at the scarred man beside him whose life or death was unknown, nor did he dare to look at the bodyguard one in front of him on the left whose face didn’t look like a human face and was lying on the ground, bleeding slowly, nor did he dare to look at the bodyguard two in front of him on the right whose head was bleeding and who died with his eyes open, and he didn’t dare to look at Tan Li.

　　The sound of teeth chattering was deafening in the quiet stone house.

　　Tan Li, who had knocked down three people in the blink of an eye, just calmly dusted off her hands and said thankfully, “After all, I am a good young woman who abides by the law.”

　　Connecting to the previous conversation ‌——

　　”This is not the place where the law applies.”

　　”That’s great. After all, I’m a law-abiding young woman.”

　　The sturdy man who reacted belatedly felt a chill all over his body, not to mention his teeth, even his limbs began to tremble uncontrollably, liquid seeped out from between his dark trouser legs, adding a smell of urine to the room already filled with the smell of blood.

　　He couldn’t help but recall the scene three months ago –

　　**

　　The burly man was named Qian Dawei. Although he was a bit reckless and arrogant, he was brave and daring enough. After seeking wealth and fame in dangerous situations several times, he was still valued in the human trafficking group.

　　If it were an ordinary sales company, at most he would be a regional manager.

　　He has been in an excited state since kidnapping Tan Li.

　　Before, he was mainly responsible for reselling women or children who were abducted or kidnapped from various places to remote and ignorant mountain villages.

　　There is some profit, but I really don’t see any room for growth.

　　Rather than dealing with those peasants, he hoped to move up a level and transfer to the team that was directly in charge of the rich people’s business.

　　Rich people from all over the world, those in power in the underworld, there is never a shortage of people with perverted fetishes in this world.

　　And if you can get access to this business, both the perspective of concealment and security, as well as the perspective of revenue, will be greatly improved. For an ambitious person like Qian Dawei, it is like a carrot dangling in front of a donkey, with an incredibly tempting effect.

　　The preferences of those distinguished guests cannot be simple young and beautiful girls. Things that are readily available cannot arouse their inner interest.

　　Whether it is a man, a woman, or a child, everyone should have some personal characteristics.

　　Therefore, Qian Dawei has always been paying attention to the good stuff in his hands.

　　When Nizi appeared, Qian Dawei paid attention to her. Unlike grown-up boys and girls, distinguished guests generally had lower requirements for the personality of young children.

　　As long as she is pretty and of the right age, there is no need to worry about not having a good buyer.

　　Moreover, he had heard people mention before that the boss had established connections abroad and opened up a new business chain, which allowed him to collect young children and send them to an island abroad for the enjoyment of foreign dignitaries.

　　Qian Dawei originally thought that Nizi could be a stepping stone for his career advancement, but things happened one after another, and then he met Tan Li.

　　What a beautiful woman.

　　Qian Dawei had never seen such a beautiful woman in his life.

　　Most importantly, she had a strange appeal.

　　The first one is beautiful, the second one is cold, the third one is innocent, the fourth one is arrogant…

　　The different characteristics blended together make Tan Li exude a unique temperament.

　　That’s her!

　　At that moment, Qian Dawei was convinced that as long as he sent Tan Li to the boss, he could become the boss’s confidant and be responsible for the “high-end” business of selling people from then on.

　　He also had selfish motives in mind when he wanted to take Tan Li away as a hostage at the critical moment.

　　But who knows?

　　After he brought Tan Li to the base, things began to take a sharp turn for the worse.

　　Even today, three months later, he still clearly remembers everything that happened that day——

　　After Tan Li was brought to the base, she looked around quickly, listened quietly for a moment, and sighed.

　　”That’s it?” she said at the time. “I thought it was such a great organization, but this is it?”

　　Qian Dawei didn’t understand what she meant at that time. Seeing her look of disgust, he couldn’t help but get angry and embarrassed.

　　Although he wanted to maintain the condition of the Tanli product so as to avoid having to sell it at a good price, it was still okay to teach it a lesson.

　　But you can’t hurt your face, it’s your image.

　　Qian Dawei was ready to punch Tan Li in the stomach, so that no harm would be seen on her face and the girl would remain quiet.

　　But before he could clench his fist, he felt a cool, soft sensation approaching his wrist.

　　Opposite him, Tan Li was looking at him with a sense of déjà vu in her eyes.

　　That was a look that… was mocking how the other person could be so naive and stupid.

　　Just like how she looked when he abducted Tan Li and left the mountain village.

　　The severe coldness crawled up from the soles of her feet. Tan Li smiled without even the slightest change in her expression, and without blinking –

　　Breaking the sturdy man’s right arm.

　　“Aaaaaaaa——”

　　Amid the fierce screams, Tan Li calmly shook her head and said, “If I had known it was this small workshop, I wouldn’t have bothered to come here to exercise.”
