130: Chapter 131 One Person Is Missing

Liang Anfeng hid in the shadows to watch the show, pulling a handful of melon seeds from her pocket and eating them with relish.

An Xin appeared silently and suddenly behind Liang Anfeng.

Liang Anfeng was startled, her pupils dilated, and her heart began to race.

"An..."

An Xin covered her mouth to signal her to be quiet, and the two retreated some distance.

The two retreated to a safe zone.

"Brother An, why are you suddenly appearing and disappearing like a ghost?"

Liang Anfeng was badly frightened, and her face was still a bit pale.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. I suspect there are hidden caves here."

"What makes you say that?"

An Xin didn't beat around the bush and handed the ledger he had found to Liang Anfeng.

Liang Anfeng finished flipping through the ledger.

"Class A goods, Class B goods, the price difference between the two is 100,000. The amount of money we received is higher. It doesn't match the number of people? Is this where you discovered something fishy?"

"Smart. You truly are the successor of the Liang An Lineage."

Acting alone was still too dangerous; he was worried about Liang Anfeng.

An Xin took out the topographical map Liang Anfeng had drawn.

"I re-examined the mining area, and these two points are very suspicious. Come with me."

"No problem. Brother An, I'll go with you to save them right now."

"Now is not the time. I want you to bring some people down from above. There are hidden caves, and we haven't figured out the situation inside. Rushing in might be dangerous. Your team should have bulletproof vests, right?"

"Yes, one of my family's businesses researches that. Don't worry, Brother An. Anything produced by Liang An is guaranteed quality."

Liang Anfeng had a very lively personality; even when facing major events, she didn't forget to use advertising slogans to lighten the mood.

"Brother An, this is the token. You go up, and I'll keep watch."

An Xin didn't stand on ceremony with Liang Anfeng, took the token, and slipped to the exit.

An Xin walked west, and upon entering the woods, he saw the Bodyguard team busy with rescue efforts.

The Bodyguard captain, Lei Zhendong, noticed An Xin and walked over with a baton.

An Xin calmly presented the token of Liang An.

"You must be Mr. An, right? Nice to meet you, my name is Lei Zhendong, and I am the captain of the 13th Team of the Liang An Security Company."

"Captain Lei, please bring a few lean, explosive Bodyguards to follow me. There's a situation down below. Also, prepare two sets of bulletproof vests."

"Mr. An, if it's that dangerous underground, you'd better not go down. We are all retired veterans with experience in handling emergencies. If anything happens to you and Liang Anfeng, I won't be able to answer to the higher-ups."

"I can ensure my own safety, Captain Lei. You don't need to feel too much pressure. I've already figured out most of the terrain. With me there, everyone will be safer."

Since An Xin had said so, Lei Zhendong didn't try to persuade him further.

He gathered all his focus and selected four people according to An Xin's requirements.

Lei Zhendong handed the team over to the vice-captain and took the four people with him to follow An Xin to the mine cave.

The six of them jumped lightly into the mine cave.

"This way, follow me."

An Xin led the five people to the stronghold to rendezvous with Liang Anfeng.

An Xin suspected that these two doors were connected. To prevent the lackeys from escaping, An Xin and Liang Anfeng each led a team into the hidden cave.

Fearing that something might happen to An Xin, Lei Zhendong specifically stayed close to protect him.

He arranged the Bodyguard with the best skills to accompany Liang Anfeng.

To tell the truth, half of the elite Bodyguards were trained by Liang Anfeng.

An Xin brought Lei Zhendong into the hidden mine cave. As soon as the two entered, they heard a man's insults.

"Damn woman, don't you like money? I'm giving it to you now, so pick it up!"

"Weren't you very arrogant on the plane?"

An Xin frowned. Isn't this Wu Haonan's voice?

An Xin quickened his pace and exchanged a look with Lei Zhendong.

The two used veterinary tranquilizer guns, taking out one lackey with each shot.

Two dull thuds of bodies hitting the ground made a chill run down Wu Haonan's back.

"Who has the guts? Daring to run wild in the forbidden area of the Huazi Gang? Get out here now, or I'll have my cousin kill your whole family."

"Grandson, if you kneel down now, I might give you a chance to breathe."

Lei Zhendong had a sister who was ruined by him. After his sister jumped into the river, he was depressed for a long time. If it hadn't been for Liang Anfeng persuading him to live on, he would have been long gone.

Now, seeing someone humiliating a young girl, Lei Zhendong thought of his poor sister.

In his entire life, he despised those who bullied women the most.

Lei Zhendong's shout made Wu Haonan turn around.

Wu Haonan was intimidated by Lei Zhendong's tall stature.

An Xin seized the opportunity to reach Qiao Xixi's side and used a dagger to cut the ropes binding Qiao Xixi.

Fortunately, An Xin arrived early; Qiao Xixi had only received a few slaps and had not been violated.

Having gained her freedom, Qiao Xixi, a girl with a fiery temper, picked up a brick from the ground and charged straight at Wu Haonan. She smashed the brick against the back of Wu Haonan's head, knocking the scumbag who wanted to challenge Lei Zhendong to a duel unconscious.

A single brick wasn't enough to vent her anger.

Qiao Xixi lifted her leg and kicked Wu Haonan hard in the groin several times until his pants were stained red.

Looking at Wu Haonan, who had been crippled, the pent-up anger in Qiao Xixi's chest finally eased a little.

Having dropped the brick, Qiao Xixi was trembling all over.

"Wuwuwu..."

An Xin took off his jacket and draped it over Qiao Xixi.

"It's alright, everything is over. You've survived a great disaster, so good fortune will surely follow."

An Xin lent his shoulder to Qiao Xixi to vent her emotions.

Looking at the weeping Qiao Xixi, Lei Zhendong's eyes turned red. If only his sister had been as fierce as Qiao Xixi, perhaps she wouldn't have jumped into the river.

"Little sister, don't be afraid. With us here, that trash can't do anything to you. Mr. An has already arranged everything, and your future won't be ruined."

"Mm, thank you."

Qiao Xixi lifted her tear-drenched eyes.

"I know where the rest of the people are being held."

With Qiao Xixi leading the way, the subsequent rescue work became much easier.

Qiao Xixi found the keys in Wu Haonan's clothes and led An Xin ten meters further inside.

They arrived at a secret passage that had been converted into prison cells by the criminals.

Inside, twenty-three beautiful women were being held.

At a glance, they were all young girls.

Their eyes were filled with vigilance and unease.

Qiao Xixi took the keys and stepped forward to open the door.

She released the girls from the cages.

"They are good people who have come to save us. You don't need to be afraid."

"Little girl, is what you're saying true? Are they really not part of that gang?"

The girls locked up here were just commodities for people to pick and choose from.

If they didn't behave well and couldn't please the buyers, they would be locked up here for a lifetime, until they died.

Everyone stood in place, afraid to walk out.

"I have no reason to lie to you. Everything I said is true. If you don't dare to leave, then stay here..."

Qiao Xixi couldn't be bothered to explain too much; she knew these people were guarded.

"You'd better follow them. The ones responsible for rescuing you are not an official organization."
