Hello, Welcome to Merit Supermarket (SUPERMARKET)
In the end, four people got into the taxi—Jiang Chenyi, Huang Jue, and the two paparazzi.
Aside from Jiang Chenyi, the other three felt somewhat awkward.
After all, the relationship between paparazzi and celebrities was usually far from cordial, often even hostile.
Huang Jue had certainly been the target of malicious rumors from paparazzi before, so she never imagined she'd one day be sharing a car with them.
She sat in the front seat while glancing at the rearview mirror to see several cars following them.
One of them was the car she had bought for her parents.
Huang Jue pursed her lips as her emotions a tangled mix of fear, dread, but mostly anticipation!
Before getting into the car, Jiang Chenyi had held the compass and told her that the direction the needle pointed was where her younger sister was.
As he repeatedly corrected the driver's route, the distance between her and her sister grew shorter and shorter.
At the same time, the car behind them grew increasingly anxious and repeatedly attempted to overtake, but each time it was blocked by the taxi and other vehicles.
The people in those other vehicles were all Huang Jue's fans.
Finally arriving at their destination, Jiang Chenyi immediately grabbed Huang Jue's arm and pulled her out of the car before running away.
Seeing this, her parents quickly chased after them to try to stop Huang Jue from moving forward.
"Stop them! A thousand yuan each!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the fans who had gotten out of the cars swiftly surrounded the couple and forced them to a halt.
"Huang Jue, you bitch! I'm going to expose you to the media! Just you wait!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the couple saw two people with cameras getting out of the taxi.
Upon hearing this, they immediately stopped and started snapping photos of the couple.
This was all great material, better capture it quickly!
Jiang Chenyi and Huang Jue soon arrived at the doorway.
Looking at the shabby wooden door and the foul-smelling environment, Huang Jue's heart ached with pain.
After the paparazzi caught up, Jiang Chenyi signaled them to turn on their cameras and start filming from the moment they entered.
"Next, I need you to endure and not take any action, no matter what you see, understand?"
These words were clearly captured by the cameras, and the paparazzi exchanged glances with each seeing the shock and suspicion in the other's eyes.
Who is this young man holding onto Huang Jue?
Huang Jue took a deep breath then clenched her fists, and nodded firmly, "I understand!"
'Don't act rashly, don't act rashly, don't act rashly!', she silently repeated this mantra in her heart!
However, after knocking on the door and seeing the person who opened it, Huang Jue couldn't suppress the fury in her heart.
She had mentally prepared herself, but she was still deeply shocked by the appearance of the person before her.
A pale and emaciated face that was almost devoid of any flesh that made the eyes appear unusually large, and with dark circles under them as if she hadn't rested for days.
Even though it had been over a decade since they last met, Huang Jue recognized her younger sister at first glance
"Younger sister..." she immediately burst into tears.
The girl who opened the door looked bewildered and at a loss.
Just as she stood there unsure of what to do, a harsh male voice came from behind, "Who is it!"
The girl seemed frightened and quickly tried to close the door.
But the door was forcefully held open by a hand.
Jiang Chenyi's face was almost pressed against the outer iron door as he whispered to the girl, "Open the door, we're here to save you. Your older sister is here, don't be afraid of that man."
"Yes, yes! I'm your sister, don't be afraid, I'll help you! I'll help you unconditionally!" Huang Jue suppressed her sobs and tightly grasped her sister's hand through the gap in the iron door.
The younger sister's current appearance wasn't very similar to hers, but just by looking at those eyes, no one could deny the connection between them.
Perhaps it was the bond between sisters, the girl instinctively obeyed Huang Jue's words and reached out to unlock the final latch.
However, at this critical moment, Huang Jue's parents' voices came from below, "Don't let her in!"
This heart-wrenching cry didn't seem like an attempt to save the younger sister, but more like a defense of the person who had taken her away.
The girl was startled and immediately let go of her grip.
The owner of the male voice that had just spoken was gradually approaching: "Close the door, close the door! What are you doing opening the door, you stupid woman! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Clearly, Huang Jue's parents' words had been overheard by the man inside.
The girl shrank back as her body trembled slightly and filled with fear towards the man behind her.
Jiang Chenyi's eyes turned cold.
He pushed Huang Jue behind him before he grabbed the iron door with one hand, and with a forceful yank in front of everyone and the camera, he tore the door open.
Coincidentally, just as the iron door was being pulled open, the man from inside the house walked over.
Unaware that his iron door had been broken, the man roughly pulled the girl over and tried to close the door.
Then, Jiang Chenyi delivered a powerful kick to the wooden door that send both the door and the man flying open.
As soon as Huang Jue entered, she rushed straight to her younger sister, who had been thrown to the ground by the man.
She reached out and tightly embraced her sister, only to hear the sound of painful groans coming from her mouth.
She quickly withdrew her hand. And upon closer contact, she discovered that her sister's body was covered in bruises, some of which were old scars and clearly the result of years of abuse.
Huang Jue felt as if her heart had been torn apart as the pain rendered her speechless.
Afraid to hug her sister too tightly, she could only hold her sister's hand and let her tears fall.
Seeing her like this, the girl became even more panicked as she made incoherent sounds while reaching out to wipe Huang Jue's tears.
By now, Jiang Chenyi and the paparazzi had already entered the house.
The man, seeing so many people barging into his home, immediately pointed at Jiang Chenyi and shouted that he was going to call the police.
However, Jiang Chenyi completely ignored the man and walked straight to the innermost room.
One of the paparazzi quickly followed with his camera continuously recording Jiang Chenyi's actions.
"What are you doing! Hey!"
The man, seeing that Jiang Chenyi was disregarding him, became even more furious.
Just as he raised his fist to strike Jiang Chenyi, the latter suddenly took a step back, hooked his foot slightly, and instantly knocked the man to the ground.
The paparazzi's mouth twitched slightly while feeling curious about Jiang Chenyi's identity.
Next, he saw Jiang Chenyi head straight for the bed before pulling out an iron box from underneath it.
"Don't open it! Who the hell are you?" The man, upon seeing the iron box, immediately panicked.
He lunged at Jiang Chenyi again, but the latter effortlessly sidestepped to avoid the attack.
He lunged again, and Jiang Chenyi sidestepped once more.
Lunge then dodge!
The paparazzi watched as the young man toyed with the man like a dog, until the man was panting and exhausted. Only then did Jiang Chenyi open the lid of the iron box in front of him.
Inside was only one thing—a piece of paper that was sealed in a plastic bag.
The paparazzi curiously leaned in to try to see what was written on the paper.
Jiang Chenyi brought the paper close to the camera.
Upon seeing the words on it, the paparazzi's eyes widened in shock.
"Huang Genfa and Li Wen voluntarily sold their biological daughter, Huang Lin, to Wang Zhongjian for five thousand yuan to be his child bride. From now on, regardless of the other party's life or death, Huang Genfa and Li Wen have no right to take Huang Lin back."
Jiang Chenyi read out each word one by one, then took a sharp breath.
This was evidence of the three individuals' involvement in child trafficking! It even bore their fingerprints!
The paparazzo found it utterly absurd.
How could someone involved in child trafficking leave behind such incriminating evidence?
But then again, considering that these two were willing to sell their own daughter, perhaps this wasn't evidence of a crime to them, but rather a guarantee of the transaction.
"He... she..." The paparazzo was at a loss for words.
After showing the evidence to the paparazzo, Jiang Chenyi led him out of the room before closing the door behind them.
The next second, they heard a loud thud from inside the room, as if something had slammed against the door.
The paparazzo looked at Jiang Chenyi in fear, only to find his expression completely calm and composed.
"Let's go. Take your younger sister, and we'll head to the police station to report this." Jiang Chenyi said while waving the evidence in his hand.
Huang Jue suddenly looked up with her eyes filled with intense hatred. "Report to the police?"
Jiang Chenyi didn't respond but handed her the evidence. "This is the proof."
He stared intently at Huang Jue and watched as her shock turned into a maniacal laugh. "It was really them! All for five thousand yuan! Just for five thousand yuan!"
By the end, Huang Jue was almost screaming and her voice echoing not only through the room but also reaching the Huang couple downstairs.
Their hearts sank as their hands gripping the fans' wrists suddenly went limp and beads of cold sweat formed on their foreheads.
It's over. They've been found out!
But before they could react, Huang Jue appeared downstairs.
In front of everyone, she slapped both of her parents hard across the face.
This action left the fans utterly stunned.
But Huang Jue's next words completely dumbfounded them: "For five thousand yuan, you sold my younger sister to be someone's child bride. Are you even fit to be parents?"
This heart-wrenching accusation made everyone present look at the Huang couple with utter disgust.
Selling their own daughter—what kind of heartless monsters would do such a thing?
Jiang Chenyi helped his younger sister out, while the two paparazzi tied up Wang Zhongjian with ropes to prevent him from escaping.
"Huang Jue, don't say too much. Let the police investigate thoroughly once we get to the station. If you keep talking, they'll just claim they had to sell your sister to support you," Jiang Chenyi said, cutting off the Huang couple's attempt to defend themselves.
Clearly, Jiang Chenyi had seen through their scheme.
One quick-thinking fan tore several pages from a notebook, crumpled them into balls, and stuffed them into the couple's mouths.
As for their hands, they were tightly restrained and twisted behind their backs by other fans.
The three struggled in vain as they were forcibly taken to the police station.
Huang Jue wiped her tears before she took a deep breath, and glanced back at her younger sister.
Her sister had been found, but this wasn't the end of it!
