Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 69: Chapter 68 Competition

It was those human traffickers who pushed her into an abyss from which she could never return.

The subsequent series of disasters and pain turned her world into Hell.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes blazed with towering rage and hatred.

That voice, those scars, she would never forget them, not even if she lived several lifetimes.

In her previous life, those traffickers had long since vanished into the vast sea of people.

She hadn’t seen their faces clearly, but she remembered that scar.

...

Later, she only found one of them; the others were still at large, still trafficking human lives and committing heinous evils that deserved no forgiveness.

Gu Qiaoqiao slowly raised her head, taking deep breaths until she completely concealed the hatred in her eyes, and then calmly walked towards the carriage.

She slowly took her seat, turned to meet Qin Yize’s inquiring gaze, and Gu Qiaoqiao softly shook her head, “I’m fine now…”

“You rest for a bit, I’ll go get you some water,” Qin Yize said, noticing Gu Qiaoqiao was still pale and her lips lacked color. After speaking, he picked up the thermos and walked towards the end of the carriage.

The middle-aged man sitting opposite seemed very proud and not fond of talking, so he quieted down as well.

The train continued clattering forward.

Gu Qiaoqiao’s peripheral vision kept watch over him, that scar. She really wanted to kill him!

The middle-aged man, who wandered throughout Da Jiang all year round and was crafty, immediately felt an unusual gaze upon him.

He hurriedly scanned the area.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly turned her head, feigning nonchalance as she looked at the poplars flashing by outside the window.

But her hand clutched Qin Yize’s handkerchief in her pocket tight.

Soon, Qin Yize returned, calmly handing the thermos to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Drink some hot water if you feel uncomfortable.”

“Mm…” Gu Qiaoqiao murmured softly, compliantly holding the thermos in her hands.

At that moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was immensely grateful for Qin Yize’s presence at her side.

If she were alone, she really didn’t know how she would face the nightmares and enemies of her past life.

Gu Qiaoqiao leaned back, her gaze involuntarily falling on the woman sitting next to the human trafficker.

A strange feeling suddenly arose.

She had been asleep since boarding, and by now, three hours had passed and she still hadn’t woken up.

Something was off!

Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart pounded fiercely, as a thought firmly took hold in her mind.

She scrutinized the woman slumped against the window seat.

Wearing a military overcoat.

Somewhat tattered, glossed with grease.

The woman wore a thick cotton mask, her hair was very black, looking extremely healthy.

But her complexion was pale.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and if not for the occasional furrowing of her brows, one might mistake her for a dead person.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed the thermos on the train’s table, bent down, pretending to adjust the laces on her leather shoes, then quickly looked at the woman’s pants and shoes.

The woolen pants were of excellent quality with sharp creases; the leather shoes were the same, brown genuine leather flat cotton boots.

Both the pants and shoes were expensive and clean.

But they were cloaked in a filthy, worn-out cotton military overcoat.

Gu Qiaoqiao straightened up.

Then, she nudged the legs of the woman sitting across from her and crisply asked, “Comrade, your pants were splashed with water earlier, I’ve just noticed. Can I wipe them for you?”

As she spoke, Gu Qiaoqiao stood up and reached for Qin Yize’s handkerchief from her pocket, intending to approach the woman.

The trafficker who had been sitting quietly by her side suddenly sprang up, instinctively reaching out to push Gu Qiaoqiao away.

This was a test by Gu Qiaoqiao; if it were not for her suspicion, the trafficker would not have jumped.

The fact proved her hypothesis was one hundred percent accurate.

Gu Qiaoqiao had no intention of dodging. The trafficker pushed her away, but she had a countermeasure ready.

Yet, she hadn’t expected another figure to move faster. A hand firmly grasped the trafficker’s wrist, and Qin Yize frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”

“I…I…it hurts, it hurts…” The trafficker howled in pain.

How could this young man’s hand be as strong as a pair of pliers?

And the chill in his eyes made the trafficker shiver with guilt.

Qin Yize released his grip, then pulled Gu Qiaoqiao over, his starry eyes turning towards the still-sleeping woman, with a hint of surprise also flashing in his eyes.

Gu Qiaoqiao turned around from behind Qin Yize, furiously pointing at the trafficker, her voice suddenly raised, “What’s wrong with you? This sister’s pants got wet, I was just helping to wipe off the water, why did you push me?”

“Heavens bear witness, young comrade, I had no intention to push you,” the trafficker hurriedly explained.

“You didn’t intend to push me?” @@novelbin@@

“Yes, yes, it’s all a misunderstanding…all a misunderstanding,” the trafficker replied, putting on a forced smile.

“That’s good then.” Gu Qiaoqiao stood up once more, leaning over the sleeping woman, and cheerfully asked, “How come you are still sleeping. Where do you need to get off? Come on, wake up and move around, let’s have a chat…”

“No!” The trafficker, frightened out of his wits as if his heart was about to leap out, suddenly showed a ruthless glint in his otherwise simple and honest eyes. He reached out again to intercept Gu Qiaoqiao, but he dared not touch her; instead, he pressed down on the military coat.

Looking up, he said pleasantly, “This is my daughter. I’m taking her to see a doctor. She’s finally fallen asleep; please don’t wake her. I beg you, young comrade. Let’s talk when she wakes up, shall we?”

His daughter?

This time Gu Qiaoqiao was close enough to distinctly smell the strange scent of the Hallucinogen Drug she had encountered in her previous life.

Outside, the sky was turning dark, and the next stop was probably fast approaching.

If they disembarked, it would be impossible to find the trafficker and the unconscious girl again.

In such a case, the world would see yet another woman in suffering.

“It’s not good to sleep all the time, wake up and talk, it will be all right,” Gu Qiaoqiao said, smiling.

However, Qin Yize’s mind became sharp and wary, his piercing gaze fixing on the still unconscious woman. Could she really not wake up amidst such commotion?

The trafficker immediately put on a pitiable face, pleading desperately, “I’m begging you, young comrade, spare my miserable daughter. You wealthy people might want to chat for fun, I get it, but you can’t do this to my sick child. She’s been in pain and unable to sleep for more than half a month. Please have mercy, please don’t wake her up…”

Gu Qiaoqiao hesitated, then clenched her teeth fiercely.

At this moment, the looks from the people around were somewhat hostile when they glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao.

The girl’s father has already spoken, yet she still insists on disturbing his sick daughter. That’s really very thoughtless.

People have always resented the wealthy, especially when they saw how bright and shiny Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were, envy was natural among many onlookers.

Therefore, they quietly began to talk among themselves.

Some were even advising, “Young comrade, stop making a fuss. The girl is sick; just let her be.”

Deep down, Gu Qiaoqiao was seething with anger.

The trafficker was too cunning.
