Chapter 1: Crossing Over, Saint Lan Star (2/2)

The silver-haired girl weakly replied, “Brother, it’s nothing, I’m just a bit tired.”

A man asked, “Little sister, where are you headed? If it’s on my way, I can give you a ride and save you some money.”

Hearing this, the silver-haired girl seemed to think of something and became determined. She hesitantly asked, “Brother, can I go to Grey Stone Street?”

“You want to go to Grey Stone Street? I remember that place is about ten kilometers from my home, just on my way.”

The silver-haired girl nervously asked, “How much will the fare be?”

Qi Ji didn’t answer immediately, but instead thought for a moment before saying, “Little sister, how much can you pay for the fare?”

The silver-haired girl touched her stomach, clearly hungry. She wanted to save some money to buy food for herself and her sister when they arrived home.

She thought for a moment and then said in a childish tone, “30 Sol, is that okay?”

Hearing this, Qi Ji’s expression didn’t change, but he was secretly amused.

“No, 30 Sol is too little. It should be at least 50 Sol,” Qi Ji said firmly.

The silver-haired girl touched her stomach again, seeming to make a decision.

Then she said, “Brother, I only have 40 Sol. If it’s not enough, I won’t go.”

The silver-haired girl only had 40 Sol, and she had wanted to save 10 Sol, but she thought her stomach was more important than her sister.

Qi Ji pretended to think for a moment, then said with a fake disappointed expression, “40 Sol it is, then! Get in, I’ll give you a ride home!”

The silver-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then chose to get in because she really wanted to go home.

At this time, the car’s intelligent voice system automatically spoke up.

“Welcome to the Ruìhóng One. Please set the coordinates and speed.”

“Coordinates: Grey Stone Street. Speed: 150 kilometers per hour, automatic adjustment,” Qi Ji said.

“Voice confirmed, starting engine… 3, 2, 1.”

“Vroom!”

The off-road vehicle didn’t make the expected roaring sound, but instead only made a slight noise when it started, and then continued to drive in a super-low sound automatic mode.

…

“Little sister, what’s your name?” Qi Ji asked.

“I-I’m Miti,” the silver-haired girl replied.

“Miti, Miti, not a bad name,” Qi Ji said.

“Why are you out here alone? You’re so young, you shouldn’t be leaving home so far away,” Qi Ji asked, puzzled.

“Home?” Miti seemed to lose her train of thought, then smiled.

“Right, I have a home, and I have a sister who loves me the most!”

“Miti, what’s wrong?” Qi Ji asked, noticing her change in mood.

Miti’s emotions settled, and she suddenly remembered the previous question. She thought for a moment, then said, “I came here with a big auntie. She said she could help me make money.”

“But I don’t know why, when we got off the car, auntie was taken away by some men in black suits when I went to the restroom.”

Hearing this, Qi Ji’s eyes suddenly became strange.

It couldn’t be, could it? The woman who was caught by the inspection team this morning for human trafficking was the auntie Miti was talking about. This girl was so naive!

“Oh, I see. Miti, don’t trust strangers so easily. This world is very dangerous,” Qi Ji said with a smile.

Miti nodded, then stared blankly at Qi Ji.

Her sister had also told her the same thing.

…

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Grey Stone Street.

The Ruìhóng One stopped in front of a dilapidated street, and Miti got out of the car.

Looking at the familiar place, Miti smiled like the sun after a snowstorm.

Although this place was a poor district, dilapidated and worn out, it had the person she cared about the most – her sister, her only family.

“Brother, this is my fare,” Miti said, handing over the crumpled bills.

Qi Ji smiled and took the bills.

Miti didn’t notice that Qi Ji had secretly put a few hundred Sol bills into her pocket.

The real price of the fare should have been ten times the 40 Sol.

Qi Ji knew that Grey Stone Street was a place where migrants lived, and their lives were very difficult, so he wanted to help this girl.

He didn’t say it was free because Miti would be suspicious and might not have gotten in the car.

Miti was naive, but she knew that she had to pay for things.
