Chapter 1106
There was no other way; if Wang An acted rashly, the girl would definitely stop screaming suddenly or make some other abnormal sound.
In that case, those traffickers by the campfire would definitely notice.
So even though the girl was being beaten, Wang An still waited quietly without moving a muscle.
He saw the leader swinging his belt while saying viciously:
"Damn it, I've really given you too much face. Remember, you were bought with my money. You have to do whatever I tell you to do. Otherwise, I'll beat you every day. If you push me too far, I'll let a group of men take turns with you."
It was audible that the leader was swinging the belt with real force; it made crisp "snap," "snap," "snap" sounds when it hit the girl's body.
This kind of physical pain is definitely not something an ordinary person can endure.
He heard the girl pleading with a crying voice:
"Please, stop hitting me. I can do any kind of work. As long as you don't touch me, I'll be a beast of burden for you for the rest of my life."
But how could a trafficker spend so much money to buy a pretty maid? So the leader continued to say while whipping her:
"Work? Your future job is to be a whore and receive guests for me. Damn it, I'm just letting you get familiar with how to work now. Hurry up, strip quickly, or I'll beat you to death today."
Wang An noticed that the leader had untied the girl's hands but had tied the rope to her legs.
No wonder the girl had tried to run several times, only to fall to the ground after one step.
Following that came the sound of the belt hitting someone and the leader's cursing, breathless from swinging the belt.
Wang An waited in the darkness for quite a while before the girl was completely broken by the leader's beating.
He heard the girl sobbing while pleading:
"I'll strip, I'll strip right away, please stop hitting me."
I have to say, these traffickers are truly vicious, and their psychological tactics are played in a very simple and direct way.
Clearly, he could have stripped her himself, but he didn't; he just beat her to achieve the goal of making the girl submit voluntarily.
At the same time, one has to admit that once a girl falls into the hands of these people, she can never escape the fate of receiving guests and selling her body.
Just enduring the belt whipping is already something most girls cannot withstand.
After the girl was beaten into submission, the leader's cursing and the girl's crying stopped immediately, leaving only the leader's soft, whispered comfort to the girl.
"That's right. As long as you are obedient, you'll have good food and drink every day, and you'll get to wear pretty clothes. Those girls who came with you, I'll make them listen to you in the future too."
Just as the girl, with trembling hands, took off her clothes, revealing her upper body that was no longer childish, Wang An quietly approached the leader.
At this moment, the leader had almost all his attention on the girl and didn't notice Wang An's approach at all.
And the girl had long been stunned by the belt whipping, and plus, the shame of stripping voluntarily made her not even dare to lift her head.
Wang An's left hand, holding the knife, reached out quietly, ready to attack at any time, while his right hand struck the back of the leader's neck very quickly.
Even if Wang An were to receive such a hand-blade strike without any preparation, he would faint instantly.
However, for safety, Wang An waited until the leader's head drooped and he started to fall before grabbing the leader's back collar. Once the leader's entire body went limp, Wang An gently placed him on the ground.
There was no other way; Wang An didn't know this girl, and he would absolutely never commit murder in front of a stranger.
Before the girl could react, he jumped forward, crouched down, and his right hand tightly covered the girl's mouth, and then he whispered in her ear:
"I am a police officer, here to save you. Don't speak."
As he spoke, Wang An put the dagger back into his back waist.
Although Wang An was only a security guard, saying he was a police officer wasn't actually wrong; after all, the security guards of this time had duties not much different from the auxiliary police of later generations.
The girl went stiff all over at first, but after hearing Wang An's words, she relaxed instantly, though the tears she had been forced to hold back now flowed down again.
Clearly, the girl had truly been terrified by the trafficker leader's belt.
Feeling the girl's head nodding, Wang An picked her up and walked toward a slightly further place.
Once Wang An couldn't hear the traffickers' voices clearly anymore, he finally put the girl down.
It was only then that Wang An let out a heavy breath.
But truth be told, a young girl's body is truly soft; even though she was very thin, the parts that should be developed were already taking shape.
Actually, it's normal for the girl to be like this; after all, for traffickers, only young girls with pretty faces and very good figures are valuable.
You have to know that in this era, 1,000 yuan could hire someone to buy a human life, yet these traffickers were willing to spend 1,000 yuan to buy one girl.
From this, one can see how high the quality of these girls must be to meet the traffickers' requirements.
Of course, what is certain is that once these girls are in their hands, they can definitely generate profits far exceeding 1,000 yuan.
After putting the girl down, Wang An said softly:
"Hide here and don't make a sound. Once I rescue the others, I'll take you all away together."
As he spoke, Wang An pulled the girl's clothes together. The main thing was that although the night was dark, it wasn't pitch black; at such a close distance, it was definitely a test of endurance for Wang An.
By now, the girl had lost her wits and said to Wang An with a tear-stained face:
"Big Brother, I'm scared."
Hearing the girl's pleading voice, Wang An thought for a moment and said:
"My colleagues are over there. I'll take you there now. Don't make a sound, you hear me?"
Wang An pulled the girl up and was about to leave, but the girl had just been whipped and intimidated, and now that she was suddenly rescued, her nerves were completely disordered, so she actually collapsed on the ground and couldn't get up.
Seeing this, Wang An helplessly picked her up again and walked toward where Wang Li and Huang Zhong were.
It’s normal for the girl to act like this; after all, she was just a girl with little experience or exposure, and to have experienced such violent and dark things in such a short time, it would be strange if she could handle it.
When Wang An placed the girl in front of Wang Li and Huang Zhong, the two were just about to ask something when they heard Wang An say:
"She's scared. You two stay with her. I have to go back. Old Five, act according to the sound of my gun later."
Once he finished speaking, Wang An walked into the darkness once again.
