Su Li watched as Su Ze drank the medicine and nodded in satisfaction.

The medicine had a calming effect. After a while, Su Ze felt a little groggy. He forced himself to open his eyes and talk to Su Li.

Seeing this, Su Li said, “If you’re tired, sleep for a while. I’ll wake you up when it’s time to eat.”

Su Ze nodded and said, “Sister, I’ll sleep for a while!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ze fell asleep.

Su Li tidied the blanket for him. Her gentle expression immediately changed.

She stood up and walked towards the room where the human traffickers were imprisoned.

Creak-

A ray of light suddenly shone into the dark room, causing the people in the room to squint in discomfort.

When they saw the person, their pupils subconsciously constricted.

Especially that woman. When she saw Su Li walk in, she trembled in fear. She knew that Su Li was not someone to be trifled with, but she did not expect her to be so difficult to deal with. They had clearly hidden so well, but she could still find them.

If she had known that this would happen, she would not have done this. She had really suffered a double loss. Now, the possibility of them escaping was really not high.

Su Li was very satisfied with their expressions. She wanted them to spend every minute and second of their lives in terror. She wouldn’t let them have it easy.

“Please let us go. We really know our mistake. We’ll be your slaves in the future.’

“Yes, we’ll do anything for you to atone for our sins. Please let us go! We were obsessed. Please forgive us this time!”

These people were still very afraid and tried to use repentance to exchange for Su Li’s forgiveness.

Su Li glanced at them and snorted. “It’s too late. From the moment you had such thoughts, you knew what your ending would be. There are so many things in the world, but you didn’t do them and insisted stealing the treasures of others. It wouldn’t be too much to cut you into pieces.”

Su Li didn’t want to waste her breath on them. She took out the medicine she had prepared and stuffed it into their mouths.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

“What did you feed us?”

The corners of Su Li’s lips curled up. “Of course it’s something that can make you atone for your sins.”

Now, it was time to see the effects of these medicines. Su Li simply sat on the chair and waited quietly. Soon, the woman reacted. Her entire body first twitched, then her eyes rolled back and she complained about the pain.

Su Li went forward to take her pulse and muttered, “I think there’s a missing medicine!”

Su Li took out the silver needles and stabbed the woman’s forehead a few times. The woman quietened down, but her expression was a little dazed.

Su Li opened the woman’s eyes and said, “Looks like we have to study this medicine again.”

The people at the side could not help but shiver when they saw this. This was too terrifying. They might as well kill them themselves.

They hadn’t been happy for long. It had been a long time since various symptoms had appeared in their bodies. Su Li had memorized their symptoms and she would slowly resolve them when she had the time.

When Zeng Qing heard the screams coming from the room, he couldn’t help but shiver. What method did this woman use to make those people wail so loudly? Could it be that she had beaten someone up?

Thinking of Su Li’s strength, Zeng Qing instantly felt that this was very likely. Otherwise, why would those people shout so loudly?

When Su Li came out of the room, she saw Zeng Qing standing at the door with a complicated expression. Su Li touched her nose and wondered if the commotion just now had frightened the old man in front of her!

Zeng Qing heard footsteps behind him and immediately turned around. He saw Su Li walk out and say with a smile.

“I’ve arranged for someone to cook for the two children. They’re eating now. What happened today scared them out of their wits.”

The meaning behind Zeng Qing’s words also meant that He Qingyao and He Qingmu had not heard the commotion that Su Li had caused just now.

Su Li raised her eyebrows. “Thank you!”

If not for Zeng Qing’s help, the child might not have been found so quickly.

Zeng Qing waved his hand and said, “We’re on the same side, so there’s no need to be so polite.”

Su Li continued, “I’ll be the host another day. Ask him out again. Let’s sit down and have a good talk. Today’s matter was a little sudden.”

Su Li thought of what had happened today. She, who was in the middle of a discussion with the main family, suddenly felt flustered. That feeling made her uneasy. Her intuition told her that something must have happened.

There was only one possibility that could make her panic. It was He Qingyao and He Qingmu, who had just gone out. In order to prove that she was not imagining things, she immediately went to the window.

From where they were, they could clearly see the scene downstairs. When Su Li came to the window, she saw a scene that made her heart ache.

On the busy street, a group of people who had planned this long ago went forward to snatch the children. Su Ze resisted with all his might, but the other party had the advantage in numbers. Su Ze was clearly no match for them and was quickly at a disadvantage.

Su Li immediately ran downstairs, but she was still a step too late. He Qingmu had been snatched away.

Zeng Qing smiled and nodded. “Alright, this matter is indeed a little sudden. Shall we gather another day? I’ll choose a good place and definitely won’t let anyone disturb us.”

Su Li nodded slightly and walked towards the room where He Qingyao and He Qingmu were.

He Qingyao and He Qingmu were eating happily. When they saw Su Li walk in, they put down their chopsticks and stood up to walk towards her.

Su Li hurriedly said, “Don’t come over. Sit down!”

He Qingyao and He Qingmu sat down obediently and asked, “Mother, you must be hungry too. Try this. It’s delicious!”

Su Li looked at the food in the bowl and smiled. She thought to herself that these two children were indeed filial. “Alright, you guys eat too!”

The three of them ate happily, as if what had happened earlier had not affected their mood.

When Su Li saw the two children eating happily, the worry in her heart dissipated and she immersed herself in the delicacies with them.

Su Li, who was engrossed in her food, forgot to bring back the news that they might be back later today.

In the He Family Village.

Seeing that it was getting late and Su Li and the two children were nowhere to be seen, He Yufeng could not help but feel frustrated.

In the past, Su Li would have returned at this hour. Could it be that something had delayed her today?

He Yufeng waited for a while longer. He really couldn’t wait any longer. He put down the work at hand and walked towards the village entrance.

The people who came back from the street greeted He Yufeng warmly when they saw him. After all, He Yufeng had even built a house now. It seemed like he still had some money in his pocket. If they could be on good terms with him, they might be able to get some benefits in the future.

He Yufeng originally wanted to ignore them, but then he remembered that these people had just returned from the streets. They might know the news he wanted..
