Chapter 632: Chapter 630: Going Back on One’s Word

As Wu Qiao Ping spoke, a burst of applause sounded from the mouth of the cave.

Three men walked into the cave, laughing. They were the same three men Su Qing had been surveilling during the day.

The leader of the three men smiled at Wu Qiao Ping. "Not bad. Your acting skills are pretty impressive."

With that, the leader glanced at the people sleeping on the ground and raised an eyebrow. "I just wonder what they’d think if they knew you were the one who knocked them out tonight."

Wu Qiao Ping pressed her lips together. "As long as you disappear, no one will ever know I was involved. Then what you’re talking about will never happen."

"Heh heh." The leader gave a cryptic chuckle.

A knot of panic formed in Wu Qiao Ping’s stomach. "We had a deal. You take these three girls, and we go our separate ways. You’re not to disturb my life ever again. We’ll act as if we’ve never met."

The leader didn’t answer her. He just glanced at Su Qing and the other two lying on the ground. Since they were deeper inside the cave, he couldn’t see their faces clearly. "I need to see them first," he said. "Just how pretty are these girls you said were more beautiful than you?"

"They’re right over there. See for yourselves," Wu Qiao Ping said, pointing to where Su Qing and the others lay. "Be careful not to wake them, or things will get complicated."

Su Qing’s eyes were closed, but through the vines in the cave, she could clearly see Wu Qiao Ping and the three men. Listening to their conversation, she sneered internally. ’I won’t expose Wu Qiao Ping just yet. Let’s see what else they have to say.’

"Hiss... She really is gorgeous!" The three men went over for a look and were immediately stunned by Su Qing’s beauty. Bai Minyun was also pretty, but she couldn’t compare to Su Qing. As for Zhao Ying, she was a bit chubby and had a cute face, but the three men weren’t very interested in her.

As they stared, the three men exchanged glances.

Unaware of what the men were thinking, Wu Qiao Ping said, "So? Aren’t they gorgeous? I didn’t lie, did I? Forget the others—just the prettiest one alone will fetch an incredibly high price. You can say you’ve hit the jackpot."

"Heh heh, indeed. Very beautiful." The leader chuckled and nodded. "You really didn’t lie to us."

"How would I dare lie to you? I’m telling the truth," Wu Qiao Ping said, urging them. "Alright, since you’re here, hurry up and take them away. I don’t know how long this drug will last. It’ll be a problem if the others wake up."

"Alright." The leader nodded and shot his two men a look.

The two men understood immediately and turned to walk toward Wu Qiao Ping.

Wu Qiao Ping had been wary of these three from the start. Seeing two of them walking toward her, she immediately backed away. "What... what are you doing?"

"What are we doing?" the third man chuckled. "Taking you with us, of course."

"What!" Wu Qiao Ping was both shocked and furious. "We had a deal! You take these three, and we mind our own business! We were supposed to be done with each other! You’re going back on your word!"

The second man scoffed disdainfully. "When did we ever promise you anything? You’ve been doing all the talking. We were just playing along. We never promised we wouldn’t take you. Besides, while you’re not as pretty as the one on the ground, you’ll still fetch a good price. Do you think we’re stupid? Why would we leave money on the table?"

"You... you’re despicable!" Wu Qiao Ping was about to go insane with fury.

"Hah," the third man said. "No matter how despicable we are, we can’t be worse than you. You were even willing to get your own sister killed. Who knows if you’ll rat us out once you’re off this mountain. We can’t trust a woman like you."

"I... I won’t tell! Besides, you already know my name and where I work! We agreed to stay out of each other’s way! I’ll pretend I never met you, why would I cause trouble for myself?" Wu Qiao Ping said hurriedly. "Really, you don’t have to worry about that. I will never, ever say a word about what you do."

"Oh, but... we don’t believe you," the third man said with a chuckle, walking toward Wu Qiao Ping as he spoke.

Wu Qiao Ping retreated two steps in fear, her heart filled with regret for ever cooperating with them. But then she remembered that if she hadn’t, they would have taken her away the day before yesterday. Grief and indignation welled up inside her. ’Why am I so unlucky?’

Seething with silent hatred, Wu Qiao Ping moved quickly. She snatched the stick An Zhijiang had left on the ground and pointed it at the second and third men, her voice trembling. "You... Don’t come any closer."

"Hah." The three men paid no attention to Wu Qiao Ping’s bluff. The woman might be vicious, but her Combat Power was zero. The second and third men subdued her effortlessly.

"Let me go! I’m begging you, let me go! Don’t take me! I don’t want to be sold off to some backwater mountain village!" Wu Qiao Ping struggled with all her might, crying as she spoke. ’I’m supposed to have a bright future! I’m going to be a respected doctor one day!’

"Get one thing straight," the leader said with a smile. "If we take these three women and leave you behind, don’t you think people will get suspicious? You won’t be able to escape then either. So just come with us quietly. Don’t worry. Since you found us such beautiful women, I’ll make sure to find a nice family for you."

"No! Please, let me go! Let me go!" Wu Qiao Ping shook her head frantically, crying and begging for mercy. "I promise, I really won’t tell anyone about you!"

"Hah. That’s not up to you anymore." The leader gestured for the second and third men to tie Wu Qiao Ping up, then prepared to lift Su Qing and the others.

But at that very moment, the unexpected happened.

Just as the leader was about to hoist Su Qing onto his shoulder, she suddenly opened her eyes. She gave him a small smile, and before he could react, she slammed her foot into his stomach.

"AGH!" The leader cried out in pain. The force of Su Qing’s kick sent him flying backward before he slammed heavily onto the ground.

The leader landed hard. There was no soft grass in the cave, only solid rock. It was like being slammed directly onto stone. Combined with the kick to his abdomen, a searing pain shot through his back and stomach, so intense he almost passed out.

Seeing this sudden turn of events, the second and third men were completely stunned.

"Boss!"
