inglan hastily refused. She wanted to hone her skills further and felt she wasn't ready to lead a team yet. She was a conservative person who preferred a steady and gradual approach. 。Besides, this pr...Although she grew up with her uncle and aunt, her living environment was simple, and she always showed the greatest kindness to people.

At the bus station, the woman said she was carsick and vomited nonstop by the trash can. She felt sorry for the woman and offered her some water.

The woman said, "Could you please get my motion sickness medication for me"

Chen Ling asked, "Where is the medicine"

The woman pointed to a white van parked beside them. "In the bag on the van."

Chen Ning walked obediently back to the van and saw the black bag in the passenger seat, so she directly took the bag over to the woman.

The woman took out a pill and swallowed it with some cold water. Then she asked her, "Young girl, where are you going"

Chen Ling replied truthfully, "I went to the train station to take a train."

"Going to college"

"Hmm." She was guileless.

"I'm going to the train station too, I can take you there. Thanks for the water."

"No need, there's a bus that goes straight to the train station."

"Don't worry, it's not convenient to take the bus with all those bags."

The bus station was a fair distance from the train station, but Chen Ling didn't think much about it. Back then, she was so innocent and naive that it bordered on ridiculous. Besides, the woman seemed very kind and approachable, so she got into her car and headed to the train station together.

She didn't know what happened afterwards, because when she woke up, she was already in that remote village and the woman had disappeared.

At that time, she kept wondering if it was because she had walked right into their trap, prompting the woman to kidnap her on a whim, or if they had been watching her all along, meticulously planning everything.

It was an extremely remote village, with only a few hundred households. She occasionally climbed onto the roof to look out into the distance, where there were only endless mountain ranges and winding mountain roads that seemed to stretch on forever.

She had been trapped for two whole months and finally realized the truth: she had been sold into slavery.

At first, the man's filthy, sour-smelling body pressed towards her. She was terrified, screaming, pushing him away frantically, trembling and cowering in the corner of the bed.

The man drooled from the corner of his mouth, staring blankly, pointing at the bed: "Go to sleep, sleep with me."

Then he pressed down on her again.

She gasped, her voice trembling: "W-wait... wait a minute."

She was only 18 at the time, a naive freshman-to-be with hope for the future. After the initial shock, she suddenly calmed down, feeling grateful that the man before her was foolish and only knew to come to bed with her because his parents told him to. He had no idea what "sleeping" actually entailed.

And she benefited from a school-organized lecture on puberty, which gave students basic sex education and tips on how girls can protect themselves.

The man chuckled foolishly: "Sleep, go to sleep, I want to sleep with you."

When a person is in the most danger, they often burst forth with a calmness and rationality that they themselves would find hard to believe. At that moment, she knew she couldn't provoke this fool. She smiled, a smile more painful than tears, her voice trembling: "Okay, I'll sleep with you. Let's play a sleeping game."

"I like playing games the most."

Let's play swimming, you pretend this bed is the sea and you swim on it.

She demonstrated, and the man really sprawled on the bed, his limbs flailing wildly, the wooden bed frame creaking under the movement.

Chen Ning's heart was filled with panic, her palms were sweating, but she kept encouraging the man. The man struggled for a few moments, then tired himself out and fell asleep.

She lay sleepless all night, leaning against the bedpost, watching the foolish man. He slept mouth agape until dawn.

The man had two older brothers and a sister-in-law at home. The next morning, they saw him and asked, "How well did you sleep last night"

A fool chuckled foolishly: "Good, I like sleeping with my wife."

Chen Ning let out a long sigh of relief in the dimly lit room, she had passed the first hurdle. She had been acting very afraid and submissive, so the family eased up on her vigilance over the next few days.

As the woman brought her meal from by the window, she said, “If you just behave yourself and live with Lao San, none of us will make things difficult for you.”

The youngest son is a fool, and his older brothers don't want to take care of him. So they simply bought a woman to come back and live with them. She just needs to take care of his basic needs—eating, drinking, using the toilet, and sleeping—that's all that matters, it's a one-time solution.

She always acted way beyond her age, knowing that making a fuss would only hurt her case. She just waited for an opportunity to slip away unnoticed.

That was almost a month later, on a dark night, she ran away while the man was asleep, but as you can imagine, after being caught, she was beaten and bruised all over.

This was her second escape attempt, so she had experience to draw on. She made a detailed plan and thoroughly researched the terrain surrounding the village, knowing exactly where to run for the highest success rate.

Maybe it was fate. Her second escape happened a few days earlier than planned because that night, the man seemed to have suddenly become aware of sexual matters. When it was time for bed, he desperately tried to tear off her clothes and assault her. She had no choice but to fight back and run away ahead of schedule.

Thus, she ran through the night, in perilous circumstances. Song Jingye appeared like a divine descent, leading her out of there, and ever since, her fate was rewritten.

At this moment, in the bustling city, at the dream university, in the cozy dormitory room, she suddenly saw a woman's face. The remote and dirty mountain village, the man's ferocious face, pressed down on her like mountains, making it hard for her to breathe.

"Chen Ning, are you alright" the dormitory head asked with concern.

Chen Ning bowed her head until the phone screen went dark. The woman's hideous face disappeared, and all the images that flooded her mind came to an abrupt halt.

"It's fine, thanks."

"In the evening, your counselor came to see you and said that the women's federation wanted to talk to you." The head of the dorm said this, her voice filled with both pity and curiosity.

"Okay, I understand. I'll contact her now." Chen Ling finished and picked up her phone to call the counselor outside the corridor.

But in fact, she just wanted to go out for some fresh air. She didn't want to call the counselor right away, and even less so did she want to contact the so-called Women's Federation. It would be like making her reopen old wounds for everyone to see. The matter was over, and she had already gotten back on track with her life. What benefit would this have for her

Her roommates in the dorm probably thought she had gone far away to make a phone call, so snippets of their conversation could be heard.

"I didn't expect she had actually been sold, I thought it was just a coincidence with the same name."

She is a year older than us.

"What does that mean"

"Then, will she have had a baby"

"I heard that women who are abducted will be forced to sleep with men and have children. Most women just accept their fate and don't run away once they have a child."

The dorm room fell into an eerie silence.

Chen Ning's stiffness betrayed her, this was the reason she didn't want people to know she had been abducted. She didn't want to be labeled, nor did she want to be seen with a colored gaze.

After a long time, she pushed the door open and calmly stated: "I haven't been assaulted, and I haven't given birth."lly go online and probably isn't aware of this situation. 。And the head of the research department dared not criticize the professor, so he could only vent his anger on her. 。She hung up the phone and...
