An hour and a half later, the two of them arrived at a shabby looking hotel. The words on the signboard were peeling, and one word was missing from the middle. The hotel's door was made of wood, and it looked like it was going to collapse anytime soon.
The corner of Wan Qianqian's mouth twitched slightly. The thought of retreating had long been growing in her heart. She slightly lowered her head to look at her dirty and smelly clothes, but she still steadied her footsteps.
"Miss, all the hotels here are like this. After all, the border area is built beautifully, but there aren't many rich people staying here." The human trafficker caught a flash of disdain in her eyes with just one glance, so he explained in an extremely helpless tone and tried to persuade her.
As soon as the human trafficker finished speaking, Wan Qianqian, who was standing in front of him, had already walked in. By the time the human trafficker reacted and walked in, Wan Qianqian was already done. She was waiting for the human trafficker to pay, holding a set of simple clothes in her hand.
After paying, Wan Qianqian took the key and went upstairs. The stairs were made of wood, so Wan Qianqian did not dare to step on them forcefully.
Half an hour later, Wan Qianqian cleaned herself up properly. Her face returned to its fair and delicate appearance. However, she could not get rid of the smell of gasoline on her body no matter how hard she tried. She had used almost an entire bottle of shower gel.
After Wan Qianqian put on her clothes, she walked to the room next door and knocked on the door with her hand. After two knocks, a faint creaking sound came from the door, and she immediately withdrew her hand.
"Hey, are you done?" Wan Qianqian raised her voice and shouted at the door. However, there was no response at all.
Just as Wan Qianqian was about to knock on the door again and enter, a familiar voice came from behind her. The voice was warm and had a hint of ridicule. "I've already invited him for tea."
At that moment, Wan Qianqian felt her entire body stiffen. It was as if her blood had been frozen by that voice. Even her heart seemed to have sped up, and she even felt a little uneasy.
"Qianqian, I'm here to bring you back." Xu Changjun's voice rang out again. His tone was gentle.
But it was this touch of gentleness that made Wan Qianqian particularly repulsed. In the quiet environment where the floor was made of wood, the sound of Xu Changjun's footsteps constantly approached Wan Qianqian, causing her heart to jump to her throat. Her hands that were hanging by her sides gradually clenched.
After she forcefully suppressed the fear in her heart, she suddenly turned around and fearlessly looked into his eyes that made her feel uneasy. She smiled brightly.
"Where is he?" He changed the topic to the human trafficker and ignored what he had just said.
"I've arranged a place for them. Let's go." Xu Changjun insisted on bringing the topic back with a smile on his face.
And there was not a trace of anxiety in his long and narrow eyes. There was a faint glow of confidence in them. His confident look made her heart sink. She pursed her lips and thought for a while, then took a deep breath.
Under the attack of his gaze, she could only nod slightly. For some reason, at this moment, Wan Qianqian still could not feel a trace of hatred towards him. She always felt that he would not do anything to hurt her. Even though he had made decisions that disappointed her time and time again.
Along the way, whether it was in the car or on the plane, she kept her eyes closed as usual. Not a single word came out, and Xu Changjun did not force her to speak.
When they arrived at a relatively unfamiliar house, Wan Qianqian opened her eyes and observed the situation around her. Her elegant brows furrowed even more, and she said in an extremely cold voice, "You want to put me under house arrest?"
"Qianqian." Even his words were filled with endless hostility. Xu Changjun became particularly helpless, but he did not explain anything. "I hope you can stay here for a while. I've already sent people to rescue the child. Don't worry."
"Xu Changjun! What do you want! " Wan Qianqian's words were almost squeezed out from between her teeth, and there was not a trace of emotion in her voice.
However, Xu Changjun still did not answer her, and only ordered people to take good care of her. And the human trafficker would pay her, and she did not have to worry about anything else.
The feeling of being under house arrest constantly filled Wan Qianqian's heart, and her lips pursed into a mocking smile. After pacing around the room a few times, she still could not think of any way to escape, so she could only settle down.
A whole three days passed, and Wan Qianqian was still faced with the servants and bodyguards in this house. Those bodyguards were like a necessity, and existed in every corner. Other than in the air, there was no other way for her to escape, and there was no Internet!
Even Xu Changjun did not appear for three days! This almost drove Wan Qianqian crazy. She half lay on the sofa, using her hands to support her temples.
After thinking for a while, Wan Qianqian thought about it, and Xu Changjun was the only way out. "I want to see Xu Changjun!" She called for a person in charge of the house, and said directly.
"I will help you pass the message." The person in charge had a very gentle attitude, and there was always a kind smile on his face. He was about forty or fifty years old.
When it was time for dinner, Xu Changjun came back as expected. His eyes were bloodshot, and his brows were full of exhaustion. As if he was troubled by something, the haggard Wan Qianqian's heart kept sinking, and she locked her eyes on his face.
After drinking a cup of hot water that the servant handed over, Xu Changjun asked softly, "Why are you looking for me?"
"Xin Yue, where's Xin Yi? I remember that the condition that I allowed you to put me under house arrest was the children! "Wan Qianqian's eyes were full of calmness, and she asked without the slightest bit of hesitation.
And she looked intently into his tired face, to judge whether he was deceiving her or not. But the next second after she asked, his expression changed, and the frown between his brows deepened, as if he was thinking about something.
Sensing this, Wan Qianqian suddenly became agitated. She slammed her hands on the table in front of her, and the cutlery trembled slightly, making a crisp sound when it collided. She stood up.
