Chapter 111: Successful Escape (2)_1
With the blade pressed against his neck, Shouzi dared not withhold information. Once Mo Yan signaled for the cloth in his mouth to be removed, he spilled the beans about the children’s whereabouts.
After getting the information, Mo Yan, under the admiring gaze of the girls, sheathed her treasured sword, "Later, run along the route I mapped out earlier. If you’re discovered, split into groups of four and scatter! Remember, once outside, find help as quickly as possible to rescue those children."
"Little Sister Mo, what about you? Aren’t you coming with us?" Liu Tinglan asked urgently. Having endured hardships together over the past few days, she had come to regard this girl, one year younger than herself but smart and strong, as her own little sister.
Mo Yan was touched but shook her head, "You all go first. I want to see if I can rescue the children. I’m worried that you fleeing might alert the other traffickers, and they could harm the kids."
Liu Tinglan clenched Mo Yan’s hand tightly, shaking her head vigorously, "How can you rescue those children alone? You should come with us, and once we’ve escaped, we’ll immediately seek help for them."
The others joined in, trying to persuade her.
Mo Yan gripped Liu Tinglan’s hand reassuringly, "Miss Liu, I’ll be alright. You and the others need to leave quickly, or it will be too late."
She then added to the others, "Be very careful. If you get caught by the traffickers and can’t escape, don’t resist, to avoid provoking them. Understand?"
