After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Life-Preserving Talisman? No, Life-Shortening Talisman!
The door was kicked open from the outside, and upon seeing the two unconscious children, the human trafficker nodded in satisfaction and said, “Take these two brats out first. They are the most good-looking ones.”

Two of them? They haven’t noticed?

Qin Er was surprised, but in the next moment, his hand was gently held by someone, small and soft—it was Zhouzhou!

He quietly sniffed, catching a whiff of the milk scent on her, and Qin Er felt relieved.

That’s great.

But the thought of so many people outside made his heart sink again. He didn’t know when Second Elder Uncle and the others would arrive.

Zhouzhou calculated the dosage of the drug; it should be ready by now. She pretended to wake up, opening her eyes and looking around the dark room, huddling in fear, “Where am I? I want to go home! I want to go home!”

“Oh, you’re awake. Don’t worry, nothing’s wrong. It’s just that the buyers need to see that you’re not deaf or dumb. That’s the only way to fetch a good price.”

As he spoke, he dragged the two of them out. Qin Er also pretended to wake up slowly, and the siblings huddled together, trembling in fear.

Seeing this, the human trafficker didn’t say anything and threw them into the courtyard, neglecting them thereafter.

Qin Er took a quick look around, only to discover that there were more than twenty other abducted people!

These people were more than just ordinary traffickers.

He felt even more anxious, but then Zhouzhou gently squeezed his wrist, giving him a reassuring look.

Although Zhouzhou was so young, damn it, she unexpectedly made him feel that she was reliable. Qin Er forced himself to calm down.

“Brother Hu, you’re here too.” Brother Black was somewhat surprised to see the newcomer and asked as he approached.

Although he was displeased by what his subordinates had said earlier, he also knew that Brother Hu was indeed more formidable. If he wanted to connect with the overseas line, he had to follow Brother Hu’s lead.

With that in mind, he became more ingratiating.

Brother Hu glanced at him with some disdain, “I heard you tied up my brother Ergou. I came to take a look.”

At these words, Brother Black’s face slightly changed, about to explain, but suddenly heard the sound of a siren. His expression instantly turned grave. “Did you call the police?!”

Brother Hu’s face also darkened. “You think I’m crazy?”

He was still here and couldn’t afford to waste time. He immediately ran back to his car.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou made a slight wrist movement and threw the pebble she had secretly picked up earlier. In the darkness, a faint sound of the stone breaking through the air was heard as it pierced through the tire, causing it to deflate instantly.

Brother Hu started the car, but it didn’t budge for a long time.

He hurriedly got out of the car, seeing the police car approaching. His gaze turned cold as he swept through the crowd in the yard, then strode over, immediately lifting Zhouzhou and pressing his knife against her neck, threatening the outside police, “Stop right there! One more step, and I’ll kill her!”

“Zhouzhou!” Qin Er couldn’t help but exclaim, his eyes reddening with anxiety.

Zhouzhou seemed stunned, tears welling up in her eyes instantly. Instinctively, she tightly grasped Brother Black’s arm, pretending to be scared, while slowly moving her hand to his vital spot.

Outside the door, when Qin Xu saw Zhouzhou, his expression also changed. He spoke in a deep voice, “Chen Hu, you’re already surrounded. Surrender and don’t resist.”

Chen Hu sneered, “Do I look crazy to you?”

He was still here and couldn’t afford to waste time. He immediately ran back to his car.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou made a slight wrist movement and threw the pebble she had secretly picked up earlier. In the darkness, a faint sound of the stone breaking through the air was heard as it pierced through the tire, causing it to deflate instantly.

Outside the door, when Qin Xu saw Zhouzhou, his expression also changed. He spoke in a deep voice, “Chen Hu, you’re already surrounded. Surrender and don’t resist.”

Chen Hu sneered, “Do I look crazy to you?”

He shifted his knife and was about to stab Zhouzhou’s major artery. Seeing this, Qin Xu immediately said, “Wait!”

He looked at Chen Hu, his voice low, “What do you want?”

Seemingly already guessed it, Chen Hu smirked, “Prepare three cars and ten million yuan for me. You have ten minutes, or I’ll kill her!”

“Thirty minutes. It’s too far from here.”

“Fifteen minutes. Don’t bargain with me!”

“Fine, don’t get worked up.” Qin Xu stared at the knife on Zhouzhou’s neck and made a phone call in front of Chen Hu.

“Alright, the things you want will be delivered soon. Can you let the child go now?”

“No, this is my Life-Preserving Talisman.” Chen Hu grinned, refusing to let go of her.

Qin Xu took a deep breath and glanced discreetly at Zhouzhou. To his surprise, even though the little girl appeared pale, when she looked back at him, she blinked her eyes, revealing no trace of fear. Not only that, but she seemed excited.

Excited? Qin Xu doubted if he had seen it wrong.

He looked again and found that he was right. Intrigued, he kept a calm expression and casually glanced at her.

Seeing Zhouzhou’s gaze discreetly shifting downward, he followed her gaze and noticed the position of her fingers. Suddenly, everything became clear.

The two of them exchanged a silent glance, understanding each other without a word.

Qin Xu continued talking to Chen Hu, diverting his attention and observing his growing anxiety, feeling more steady in his heart.

Before long, the car arrived. Qin Xu walked over, took out several bags from inside, and opened them. They were filled to the brim with money. He placed them in the trunk in front of Chen Hu and said, “I’ve prepared what you wanted. Release the person.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Hu coldly laughed, “Put down your gun and step back! Otherwise, I’ll kill her!”

“Alright.” Qin Xu gritted his teeth and reluctantly put down his gun. Chen Hu glanced at the people behind him.

Qin Xu understood and retreated with his colleagues.

Chen Hu slowly moved toward the car, with Brother Black following closely behind him, imitating the action of holding a child as a hostage. The traffickers in the yard saw this and immediately ran over.

When they reached the door, Chen Hu held Zhouzhou with one hand and reached for the doorknob with the other.

Now is the time!

Zhouzhou’s eyes sharpened, and she applied slight force with her hand. Chen Hu suddenly felt a pain in his body, let out a cry, and subconsciously let go.

Almost at the moment Zhouzhou took action, Qin Xu also sprinted forward with a helping hand. He kicked Brother Black aside, took the child he had let go of, and handed her to his colleague. Then, he looked at Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou swiftly turned around, kicked with her short legs, and sent the nearly two-hundred-pound Chen Hu crashing into the wall.

Immediately after, she kicked again, and another person went into the wall.

Qin Xu was amazed by her actions, but he didn’t waste any time. He stepped forward to help her and kicked the person who was about to launch a surprise attack, trying to imitate her move of kicking someone into the wall. However, he didn’t have the same strength as Zhouzhou, and the person just fell down with his back against the wall.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xu felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Zhouzhou didn’t mind. She kicked the last person into the wall, and the wall finally couldn’t withstand the force, collapsing with a loud crash. Bricks fell onto the trafficker, delivering another heavy blow.

Zhouzhou nodded in satisfaction, patted her shoes, hummed lightly, and appeared cool.

Qin Xu couldn’t help but smile at her attitude, but when he turned to look at the people in the yard, his expression became serious again.

Soon, the police handcuffed all the traffickers, and the rescued victims were brought onto the car. They were going to take them to the hospital for examination.

Each of them had varying degrees of injuries from the beatings, and some of them seemed mentally unstable. It was heart-wrenching to see.

Zhouzhou pursed her lips and, seeing them leaving, hurriedly pulled Qin Xu towards the entrance of the underground cellar. “Uncle, there’s another sister inside.”

The cellar was quite deep, and she could jump up herself, but she couldn’t bring another person along.

Fortunately, Uncle and the others had arrived.

Upon hearing her words, Qin Xu immediately turned on the flashlight and shone it below. He saw the two skeletons inside and the girl. His heart trembled and he quickly jumped down, using the ladder to carry her out.

The other police officers also brought a stretcher.

Zhouzhou squatted beside them and called out, “Sister, are you awake?”

Upon hearing her voice, the girl opened her eyes, paused for a moment, and recognized Zhouzhou. “Little girl, it’s you.”

“Yes, it’s me.” Zhouzhou gently held her hand. “Don’t be afraid, look, this is my uncle. He saved you. Don’t worry, you will definitely be able to live well.”

Upon hearing this, the girl slowly turned her head and saw the uniform on Qin Xu. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she trembled as she said, “You finally came.”

These words also made Qin Xu’s heart ache. He took off his hat, bowed, and apologized, “I’m sorry that we are late.”

Although the cunning of the traffickers played a role, it was also their own lack of ability that resulted in their capture only now.

Some people were fortunate enough to be saved, while others…

He turned to his colleagues behind him and said, “There are two more people inside. Go and bring them out, gently.”

They had already suffered enough during their lives.

The girl was also taken into the ambulance, but she held onto Zhouzhou tightly. Zhouzhou could have broken free, but she was afraid of hurting her. After some thought, she looked up at Qin Xu and said, “Uncle, I’ll accompany this sister.”

Qin Xu glanced at her and nodded, patting her head. “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

“Not hard at all.” Zhouzhou shook her head and got into the car. Qin Er, who was worried about her, also came over.

After watching her for a while and making sure she had no injuries, Qin Er finally relaxed. “It was really dangerous just now.”

“I’m not afraid.” Zhouzhou softly smiled at him. “As I said, I’m very capable. Nothing will happen to me.”

Well, she was indeed capable, far beyond his expectations.

While the two were talking, the girl on the stretcher suddenly trembled, and the nearby electrocardiogram emitted an alarm.

“Oh no, the patient is losing her conciousness.” The doctor in the ambulance quickly examined her and said in a hurry. The situation became tense all of a sudden.

Zhouzhou’s expression also changed as she felt the girl’s pulse. She said, “Let me do it.”

“Don’t move, kid.” The doctor thought she was causing trouble and quickly pushed her away, instructing Qin Er to watch her.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou became anxious, but she didn’t go any closer.

“Start defibrillation.” The doctor said while holding the defibrillator. He and his colleague tried their best, but the heart rate on the electrocardiogram didn’t return to normal.

The situation became even worse.

In her urgency, Zhouzhou couldn’t consider much. She pulled the person away, dived in without giving them a chance to react, and instantly inserted several needles into acupuncture points.

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty needles were inserted.

“What are you doing?” The doctor was startled.

Zhouzhou didn’t answer, but focused on gently twisting the needles while saying, “Second Elder Brother, take out a red pill from the bottle in my bag and feed it to the sister.”

“What?” Qin Er was momentarily stunned, but looking at her serious expression, he instinctively followed her instructions and took out a pill, asking, “Is it this one?”

Zhouzhou looked up and said, “Yes.”

The doctor was about to stop them, but then he saw the girl swallow the pill in less than half a minute. Her complexion gradually turned rosy, and the electrocardiogram’s curve returned to normal.

Everyone stopped in their tracks. Had they succeeded?
