Chapter 319 Selling People Out
"Hmm." Lin Shao glanced carefully at the doorway, which remained tightly closed. He figured the person who had drugged them wouldn't be coming in for the time being. So Lin Shao and Liu Yubai carefully moved to the side of Lin Junyuan, Shangguan Ying, and Xu Yun'er.
The person who drugged them was very vigilant and tied them up tightly. It was impossible to wake them up with their hands or feet. The two could only rub against Lin Junyuan and the others with their bodies. Moreover, in order to prevent people outside from discovering them, they could not make any big movements. They could only rub against each other gently while calling out softly.
After a long while, the three people on the ground finally reacted. Shangguan Ying was the first to wake up. After looking around, she understood their current situation. Soon after, Lin Junyuan and Xu Yun'er also woke up.
"What's going on this time?!" Xu Yun'er hissed as soon as she woke up, "My head hurts so much."
"Yun'er, are you alright?" Shangguan Ying asked worriedly.
"It's nothing." After calming down for a while, Xu Yun'er finally felt a bit better and asked, "What's our situation now?"
Shangguan Ying pursed her lips and told Shangguan Ying about their current situation, saying, "We've been kidnapped."
"Kidnapping?!" Lin Junyuan gritted his teeth. "The woman we helped before we lost consciousness."
The five men all looked extremely grave. They were all quite skilled, ranking among the best in the martial arts academy. They never imagined that someone could drug them in this small city of Luoyang. They had been too careless and overconfident. If they had been more careful, they wouldn't have fallen for it.
At the time, they just felt that the woman looked pitiful, and helping her was just a small thing for them, so they helped the woman pack her things and took her home. Little did they expect that as soon as they arrived at the woman's house, she was drugged.
Lin Shao took a closer look this time and, judging from the layout of the room, it was indeed that woman's house.
Just then, the tightly closed door was opened, and two people walked in. The one behind them was the woman they had helped earlier that day.
“It’s you.” Lin Shao looked at the two people coldly.
At this moment, the woman was no longer as weak as she had been when they asked for her help earlier; instead, she exuded a fierce aura.
"You woke up quite quickly." The woman stopped in front of Lin Shao, looking down at him with a nauseating smile on her wrinkled face.
Another person clicked their tongue and said, "We used so much this time. If it were anyone else, it would have been enough to make them unconscious for two days and two nights. I didn't expect these five people to wake up so quickly. They're in pretty good shape."
"No wonder you have so much energy to meddle in other people's business today."
"Who are you?" Lin Junyuan looked at the two men. "We have no grudge against you, why are you kidnapping us?"
"I really have no grudge against you, and this is the first time we've met," the woman said with a smile. "But why did you have to meddle in my business this morning?"
"This morning?" The five people remembered the human trafficker couple from this morning. "You mean that human trafficker couple?"
“That’s right.” At this point, the two men’s expressions darkened further. “Because of your meddling, our men were arrested by the authorities. Tell me, how should I punish you?”
"Should I kill you or skin you alive?" The woman had a smile on her face, but it was a smile that was disgusting and nauseating. She said, "You say there is a road to heaven, but you don't take it. Instead, you like to meddle in other people's business."
"Since you caused me to lose two of my accomplices and our goods today, then the five of you will have to make up for it."
"Five for three, I'm not at a loss." The woman looked Lin Shao and his companions up and down. Originally, she only intended to kill them, but after seeing their good looks, she changed her mind.
Lin Shao and the others were all good-looking, especially among ordinary people.
The woman stroked her chin, pondering what price she could get for selling these five people.
The man next to the woman said, "Boss, the owner of Chunxiang Pavilion asked me for goods today and gave me this amount." The man held up five fingers, looking at Lin Shao and the others, and said, "I was originally going to tell you where to get people, but I didn't expect to get a few such good ones today."
"These guys are even better quality than what the madam of Chunxiang Pavilion demands. Maybe we can even get a raise from them." Her voice was full of delight.
Upon hearing this person's words, Lin Shao, Liu Yubai, and the others' faces darkened immediately. The words "Chunxianglou" and "brothel madam" together clearly indicated that it was not a good place.
"What do you want?" Lin Shao asked, looking at the woman.
The woman said, "You should be grateful. I originally intended to kill you, but I happen to need a shipment, so I'll spare your lives this time."
He stood up and said, "Come on, go outside and tell me the details, let's see what price we can get for these five people."
After the two finished speaking, they left and closed the door behind them. As for whether the five of them would escape, the two of them didn't even consider it. They had tied these people up so tightly that even if they had wings, they wouldn't be able to escape.
After the two men left, Lin Shao and the others fell silent. They wished they could kill those two men, but their safety was the most important thing right now.
Fortunately, judging from their conversation, at least they won't be sold off today; they still have time to negotiate.
"They actually wanted to sell us out." Shangguan Ying gritted her teeth. The five of them, while not exactly pampered, hadn't suffered much hardship either. Plus, they had good talent in martial arts. This was the first time someone had said such things to their faces, yet they were powerless against those people.
"If only we hadn't come out today," Lin Junyuan said, his voice heavy. "Or perhaps we could have found Teacher Chen first."
"That way, even if we get arrested, Teacher Chen can still get us out."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Lin Shao sighed and said, "What's the use of saying all this now? Teacher Chen might not even know we're in Luoyang, let alone save us."
"The only thing we can do now is rely on ourselves, otherwise we might not even be able to see Teacher Chen again."
The group wanted to cut the ropes binding them first. Once the ropes were gone, any one of them could easily take down the two men. However, after the two men captured them, they seemed to have already considered this possibility. There wasn't a single sharp object in the entire room, so it was impossible to cut the ropes using any external object.
