Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The next moment, an arm suddenly appeared and grabbed hold of the girl’s arm.
The girl shrieked, “Help!”
Mu Xiaoxiao jumped from fright, and she retreated a few steps.
Then she started to see the situation clearly. There was a middle-aged man pulling roughly on the girl.
The man cursed, “Damned wretch! Don’t you dare run again! I’m only asking you to accompany someone for drinks, not to prostitute yourself! Why do you have to run! You’re making me lose face!”
As he was speaking, his hand was slapping the girl’s head.
Mu Xiaoxiao frowned as the scene made her feel uncomfortable.

The girl cried and said, “No, I don’t want to go… Help! Can anyone save me!”
It was clear that the girl was extremely afraid as she tried to stand her ground, refusing to be taken away by him.
The man was furious as he swung his hand and slapped her. “I’m only asking you to do something trivial; it isn’t like you’ll die! You better be obedient. If not, you’ll get your punishment when you get home.
Not showing any mercy, the man slapped the girl’s face aslant with great force, and blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
However, she was still stubbornly resisting, refusing to let him drag her away as she called to the people nearby for help.
“Please save me! I’m begging you, save me!”
The man glared ferociously at the people around and shouted, “She is my daughter! This is our family’s problem. Don’t you dare intervene!”
Seeing such a scene, the onlookers did not dare to intervene, and they started whispering among themselves.
“This isn’t child trafficking, is it? Haven’t there been many such cases appearing on the Internet recently? They claim that the girl is their family, and when no one saves her, they take her away.”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah! That is possible!”
“But, what if it really is a family problem? Look at the girl. She did not even say that she doesn’t recognize the man, so they could really be father and daughter.”
“If that is really the case, then this father is too rotten! From the looks of it, he must be taking the girl to go and please someone.
Though the girl looked to be in a sorry state, one could still vaguely see in that dimly lit place that the girl was fair and pretty.
Hearing what the others had said, Mu Xiaoxiao could not help but grow suspicious.
However, even if it was not child trafficking, Mu Xiaoxiao could not bear to watch a girl being put in such a helpless situation.
Just as Mu Xiaoxiao summoned her courage, preparing to approach them, someone grabbed her hand before she could take a second step.
“What are you trying to do?” The sound of Yin Shaojie’s voice reached her ears.
“Why are you out here?” she asked, looking astonished.

Yin Shaojie held her hand and said, “Let’s go. We’re going back into the bar.”
Mu Xiaoxiao did not move as she looked sympathetically at the scene. Then, she just happened to see the man dragging the girl away as she cried and shouted to no avail. No one dared to intervene.
She felt pity for the girl.
“Jie…” She turned to look at Yin Shaojie, her eyes clearly begging him to do something.
Without even looking, Yin Shaojie could tell from the shrieks that something was up.
Such an event was nothing new around these places.
He stared at Mu Xiaoxiao and said imposingly, “I don’t want to intervene in other people’s family matters. Don’t even think about it!”
If one were to intervene in such matters, it would not be easily resolved and could only cause endless trouble.
However, when Yin Shaojie raised his head and looked casually in that direction, he just happened to catch sight of the girl’s face.
Suddenly, his heart was jolted as he released Mu Xiaoxiao’s hand, and he walked quickly toward the girl.
