Wait until the right time comes, then kidnap them and bring them to a remote place.

In this way, if someone really comes to search, you can just say that Zhuang Qingning left after dropping them off, and since there’s no one to testify against you, there’s no need to fear investigation.

Choosing today is probably because there were many people setting up stalls in the market yesterday, and there’re fewer people in town today, making it easier for her to act.

Zhuang Qingning’s plans are truly meticulous and precise.

It’s a pity…

“Uncle Zhang, why are you here?” Zhuang Qingning widened her eyes and pointed to somewhere else with her other hand.

“What?” The old woman subconsciously glanced to the side.

Zhuang Qingning used all her strength to lift her leg.

With a “bang”, she forcefully kicked the person’s lower body.

The hand that was originally restraining Zhuang Qingning relaxed subconsciously and moved to cover an unspeakable area, and the person fell to the ground in pain.

Strike them where it hurts most!

Zhuang Qingning broke free, her eyes turned cold, and she started running. “Are you all dead?” The old woman on the ground, enduring the pain, screamed in fury.

From a corner not far away, two burly men hurried over to help the old woman. “And you’re not rushing to chase? You’re all idiots, couldn’t even manage one thing, it’s this crucial moment, and you still don’t know what’s important?” The old woman scolded, spitting angrily everywhere: “If that girl escapes, I’ll skin you alive!”

Hearing this, the two burly men hurried after Zhuang Qingning, disregarding the old woman.

The old woman, who had been lifted halfway off the ground, was left behind again, intensifying her pain.

“Damn, you bastards, it hurts like hell…”

The two burly men were about to turn around and help her, but remembering her previous words, they had to go after Zhuang Qingning first.

Listening to the shouts behind her, Zhuang Qingning started to run even faster.

But no matter how fast she ran, she was just a young girl, unfamiliar with these streets, and soon the burly men were catching up.

If she was caught and had her mouth sealed, it would put her in a very dangerous situation.

Zhuang Qingning sunk her heart, surveyed her surroundings, and discovered she was very near the street entrance where there were more and more residents. After clearing her throat, she put her hands together like a trumpet to amplify her voice and shouted loudly.

“Who lost their money bag!”

“Who lost the money bag? It’s so heavy, it’s full of copper coins. Who dropped it? Come and see if it’s yours. If no one claims it, let’s share it! Come on, let’s divide the money, everyone will get a share!”

If you shouted about a murder or a capture, people’s subconscious reactions would be to stay indoors due to danger. But shouting about sharing money was a different matter.

So, every household with people hoping to get a share, even those at the entrance of the street, came running at the sound.

“Share the money? How much and where? Who’s sharing?”

Various voices were heard, and Zhuang Qingning was surrounded.

Zhuang Qingning then quickly took out about ten copper coins from her money bag and scattered them into the crowd.

While she was shouting loudly: “Here, come and take it!”

The copper coins flew into the air, glistening under the bright sunlight, drawing even more people from afar towards her location.

The entrance of the small alley was immediately filled to the brim with people, blocking off the burly men chasing after her.

Although the two men wanted to catch Zhuang Qingning, they were stuck in the crowded scene, watching as Zhuang Qingning was getting further and further away from them.

Truly unfortunate, the prey had slipped through their fingers!

The two brothers were infuriated and were filled with frustration.

When Zhuang Qingning saw that enough people had gathered, she shouted again: “There are kidnappers trying to take people away, everyone quickly catch them!”

Kidnappers?

The people who were picking money from the ground and those who were waiting for the “God of Wealth” to spread wealth were shocked, then became utterly enraged.

At the Lantern Festival after the Chinese New Year, a young child and a thirteen-year-old girl went missing from the town. They were with their parents watching the lanterns in the street, but they suddenly disappeared without a trace and were not found despite extensive search.

Later, it was heard that the young child was sold into a far-off city, where his limbs were severed and he was forced to beg for money on the streets. By the time he was found, he was mentally distressed, disabled, and barely looked like a human.

However, the girl was never found.

A young girl who was at a blooming age like a flower, had been kidnapped and either sold into a hidden brothel or to a remote place to be someone’s wife. Either way, she likely went through endless torture and has since led an inhumane life.

The girl’s parents nearly cried their eyes out and are now living in misery.

After this incident, the pavilion chief issued a notice that anyone who discovered a kidnapper should immediately seize them, and would be rewarded.

And now, everyone in the crowd had underage children at home, so what they hated the most were these kidnappers. They feared the idea of their children, whom they’d cared for and raised, being taken away to cruel and unknown places, possibly even losing their lives. Just the thought of it was heartbreaking.

“In broad daylight, what are they doing? Kidnappers are so bold now!” one person in the crowd shouted, and others echoed the sentiment.

“Are they daring to snatch people in our town, thinking there’s no one here?”

“Exactly, doing such heinous deeds, aren’t they afraid of being struck by lightning?”

“Why waste breath on words, where is the kidnapper now? Grab him and turn him to the pavilion chief for the reward. The pavilion chief can then take him to the county office. Maybe they can find out where the kidnapped children have gone. That would be a great merit!”

“Right, right, where’s the kidnapper?”

“It’s those two guys!” Zhuang Qingning pointed at the two men and shouted.

The two burly men who were chasing Zhuang Qingning turned pale. A moment later, they turned and fled.

Originally, Zhuang Qingning wasn’t very tall in the crowd, so even when she shouted and pointed, many people didn’t see which two people she was referring to.

But now that the two of them were running, it was clear to everyone, and in an instant, they didn’t care about anything else and just ran after the two men. “Stop!”

“Don’t run!”

“You heartless bastards, do you think you can escape?”

“Everyone, come out and catch the kidnapper for the reward!”
