A Clash of Gods - Chapter 10

Chapter 10 The Big Shot
Of course, under the pillow, it was not a booklet, but a knife.

The flying knife was as fast as a flash of lighting!

But Yang Ning was wary of Xiao Yishui and kept alert all the time. When Xiao Yishui waved his hand, Yang Ning had noticed that something was wrong and had already dodged to the side, so the knife just passed his face. If his response had been a little slow, then the flying knife would have stabbed his face straightly.

Xiao Yishui thought that he must succeed with a sneak attack in the darkness, but unexpectedly the flying knife missed his goal. Greatly frightened, he intended to roll aside, but Yang Ning responded quickly, and cut Xiao Yishui’s neck with the sword.

Xiao Yishui’s leg had been cut off, so his movements were sluggish. With a puff, the artery on his neck was cut by Yang Ning, with blood gushing out suddenly. Xiao Yishui only felt that his strength was vanished instantly, and he was even unable to shout. Raising his hand to cover his neck, his body began to twitch and his eyes suddenly protruded. He struggled for some time on the bed, never to move again.

Yang Ning was not fond of killing. When he killed these two people tonight, he also shivered slightly because he couldn’t get with killing people.

However, these people were worse than pigs and dogs, and what they did was utterly devoid of conscience. Killing such people, Yang Ning did not feel guilty.

He knew very well that if such evildoers were not cut off, they would only bring misery to more people. Sometimes, killing some people was saving all other people.

After a little relieved, Yang Ning dragged Xiao Yishui off the bed.

In the dusk of the room, he saw that Madam Hua was still unconscious. Yang Ning turned around, picking up the teapot from the table and taking a sip of water from the spout. Then he returned to the bed and rested his sword on Madam Hua’s neck. Her white body appeared in front of his eyes, and her plump breasts fluctuated slightly as she breathed, so he pulled the pillow over her breasts, and then spewed out the cold water in his mouth on Madam Hua’s face.

His didn’t plan to eliminate evils tonight, but aimed to find the whereabouts of Xiaodie. However, forced by circumstances, he had to kill these guys. Now that Xiao Yishui was dead, Xiaodie’s whereabouts could only be questioned from Madam Hua.

The cold tea was poured on Madam Hua’s face and she woke up slowly with a start. Once she opened her eyes, she felt the coldness on her neck, and then she saw a pair of icy eyes in the dim, her whole body trembling and her voice losing its tone, “Don’t… Don’t kill me…”

“Where are the girls?” Yang Ning said coldly, “Be honest, and I may spare your life!”

Madam Hua answered with trembling voice, “It’s not me. It’s Xiao… Xiao Yishui did it. Hero…hero, please forgive…forgive me. I… I was forced!” The seductive charm in her had gone.

“Where are they?” Yang Ning repeated, “Cut the crap, or I will kill you!”

Xiao Yishui’s body was next to her, so Madam Hua understood that he was not kidding. At this time, all she wanted was just to save her life, so she confessed, “They have all… All been sent to the capital.”

“What is the exact location?”

“I… I don’t know.” Madam Hua’s face was pale. “I heard Xiao Yishui mentioned that Feng Zhengsheng would take the girls from here and then send them out of the city. Some people outside the city would coordinate with him and send them directly to the capital.”

Yang Ning knew that Feng Zhengsheng was Assistant Constable Feng with the nickname Mad Dog. He said coldly, “Who coordinated with him out of the city.”

Madam Hua hesitated for a while, her eyes flashing. Yang Ning snorted, so she dared not hesitate any more, hurriedly saying, “It’s…it’s the escort agency!”

“Escort agency?” Yang Ning was stunned. He didn’t expect that the escort agency also got involved in this deal. It seemed that many forces were involved in this human trafficking.

Madam Hua said, “The subordinates of Xiao Yishui specially deceive these…these virgin girls, and then…then send them here for training. When they have learned some skills, Feng Zhengsheng will secretly send them out of the city.” In order to survive, she fawned on him and explained, “Xiao Yishui once said that as long as these girls knew a little bit about singing and dancing, the price would be much higher. Through this business, he has gained a lot of money in these two years.”

“Which escort agency are you talking about?” Yang Ning asked, “Is it the escort agency in this county?”

Madam Hua said, “It’s a grand one. I also asked Xiao Yishui about it, but he…he didn’t allow me to ask too much and only said that it was a large-scale escort agency even in the capital.”

“A large-scale escort agency in the capital? How could they collude with you?” Yang Ning sneered, “Are you lying?”

“I don’t dare…” Madam Hua’s face turned pale. “I heard… I heard from Xiao Yishui. He… He said…” Her voice quavered, and she dared not go on for a while.

“What else did he say?”

“He… He also said that there was a big shot behind the escort agency. Those girls sent to the capital all fell into the hands of the big shot.” Madam Hua shuddered, “The big shot could force those girls do many things, and he said even if this matter were exposed by…by others, it would not be a problem. No one could set the cat among the pigeons with the big shot backing up.”

“Big shot?” Yang Ning knew that the so-called big shot was naturally the backer mentioned by Xiao Yishui, he sneered, “Didn’t he tell you who the big shot was?”

Madam Hua said, “There were many things that he would not tell me, and he also said… The more I knew, the faster I would die… That’s all I know, and I really don’t know other things.”

“Then is there a girl named Xiaodie?” Yang Ning asked, “Was she sent to the capital?”

Madam Hua thought for a moment, and said, “You are talking about Xiao…Xiaodie? Yes, she…she also has been sent away.”

“When was she sent away?”

“It has been three days.” Madam Hua said, “From here to the capital Jian’an, the journey will take more than ten days. They…they should still be on the way.”

Yang Ning pondered for a moment, and then slowly put back the sword. Madam Hua was relieved, but Yang Ning said flatly, “Turn over your head!”

Madam Hua’s heart was sunk, and she said with a trembling voice, “Hero, you…”

“Turn over your head quickly.” Yang Ning said coldly, “No more words.”

Madam Hua was terrified, but she had no other choice under the cold sword. She turned over slightly and then turned her head around. Yang Ning had reversed the sword to the handle end and then knocked hard on her head. Madam Hua muttered and then passed out.

Although Yang Ning felt ashamed of what Madam Hua had done, he knew that it was not easy for a widow to survive, especially under the control of Xiao Yishui. She was involuntary and could not defy Xiao Yishui, so even if her actions were abhorrent, she should not be punished by death. Therefore, he did not take the lives of others indiscriminately.

He knew that Madam Hua would wake up after three or four hours at the earliest, so he searched in the house lightly. Xiao Yishui indeed brought a money bag with him, and there was at least twenty pieces of silver in it. In addition to this, there were also a few gold leaves in the money bag.

Besides, there was a jadeite ring of Xiao Yishui and some gold and silver jewelries of Madam Hua. Yang Ning found a cloth-wrapper to pack up all these valuable things which were worth at least one hundred pieces of silver.

He took the parcel in one hand and the sword in the other, and then quietly came out of the door. He closed the door of the room and the front door, walking out of the yard lightly and returning to the stable like a ghost.

There was dead silence in the courtyard. Yang Ning walked gently to the middle of the row of rooms. Seeing that the door was unlocked, he gently pushed it open, stirring a commotion in the house. Yang Ning cast a glance at the room and found that there were many more figures in the house at this time, murmuring, “It’s me!”

When the girls heard Yang Ning’s voice, they were all relaxed. Xiu’er came forward and said, “Little brother, I have opened a few doors and told them about our plan. They all want to leave, but I tell them not to act hastily until you come back.” She asked softly, “Litter brother, can…can we really escape? ”

Yang Ning understood that in the eyes of these girls, the Hua Mansion was like a devil’s cave with iron walls. It was really difficult for them to believe that such a young guy could rescue this large group of girls.

Yang Ning did not explain much and whispered, “There are still two hours before dawn. I will take you away now. Everyone should be careful not to make any noise. If the guys in the yard were disturbed, we would get in great trouble.” He said again, “Do you know where your fathers and mothers are? ”

Xiu’er said, “There are thirty-two people here. Twenty-three of us can find their fathers and mothers in the city, and a few girls have already lost their fathers and mothers before entering the city.”

Yang Ning frowned, “So they have nowhere to go?”

Xiu’er whispered, “We have discussed it. Girls without fathers and mothers can follow us first, and we can take care of each other.”

Yang Ning was slightly relieved and said softly, “After I take you out of the yard, you cannot get together and should be separated into several groups. You will be easily found if all of you get together. As long as you find your fathers and mothers in the city, immediately spread out what has happened here, preventing others from being cheated.”

Although Xiao Yishui was dead, Assistant Constable Feng was still alive, and no one could guarantee that he would stop.

“Little brother, how can we leave?” Xiu’er asked in a low voice, “There are people at the gate, so we can’t get out.”

Yang Ning said softly, “You can let everyone prepare now, and we are going to leave now.” He didn’t say too much at the moment. He took the lead to walk out and came to the gate of the stable, investigating carefully and making sure that no one was around. He soon saw a dense crowd of people coming to him lightly, he asked softly, “Is everybody here?”

“Everyone is here!”

Yang Ning then held his sword and led the way ahead, and the girls all followed him in the formation like a long snake.

Yang Ning was now very familiar with the terrain of the backyard of the mansion.

The girls were uneasy, but they also tried their best to hold their breath, hoping to escape from this horrible place as soon as possible.

Yang Ning led the way while observing whether there was any movement ahead. Suddenly, a shadow behind the flowerbed in front of him appeared in his eyes, and Yang Ning felt a chill in his heart, raising his hand instantly to beckon everyone to stop.

It was out of expectation. Some girls who were walking with bowing heads didn’t notice that their companions ahead had stopped, so they bumped into each other, several girls even bursting out “Ow”.

Yang Ning’s face changed slightly, and then a voice in front of him passed over, “Who is there?”

The girls’ faces all became ghostly white with fear, but Yang Ning did not hesitate at all, springing on that person like a leopard.
