Chapter 187 Are You Innocent Or Stupid


    The Dark Area, was the biggest ck market in the Jingshi City.


    Emily, Debby and Tina were soon brought to the Dark Area, where people looked at them as if they


    weremodities.


    The ringleader of the delinquents was a podgy, middle-aged man with beady eyes called Von. Heid


    his scious eyes on Emily, and was very satisfied with her. "Good. Leave them here and go get your


    money,"


    he told Lay. Lay grinned from ear to ear. He looked more hideous as the scars on his face stretched


    out. He said,"Von, I hope you don''t forget what we''ve agreed upon."


    "Of course I won''t," Von smiled back and said,"It''s just a piece of cake."


    Satisfied, Lay nodded, and shook Von''s stubby hands. He said,"Hope we can continue to cooperate


    like this."


    Meanwhile, Emily, Debby and Tina tried to maintain vignce, even though they were scared out of


    their wits.

    Von pointed at Emily and Debby and demanded,"Send this woman to Room A, and that woman to


    Room B...as for thest woman..."


    By then, Tina''s once beautiful face had swollen up like an apple. The glow of her captivating beauty


    had now dimmed. Von frowned at her and thought, ''So this is the one Lay wants to take revenge on.''


    However, considering the fact that Lay had given him a very beautiful woman (Emily), the least he


    could do was hold up his end of the bargain.


    "Send thest woman to our buddy Seven," Von said coldly, sounding like he was assigning an


    important task.


    "Yes, sir." Upon hearing Seven''s name, Von''s subordinates went silent. They silently nodded to show


    compliance, and then dragged Tina away, disregarding her violent struggling.


    Soon after, Emily and Debby were also taken to their rooms.


    When Emily stepped into Room A, she discovered that the room was actually a small warehouse,


    which roomed several beautiful young girls.


    They were all sitting in the corner, shivering like little cubs. Most of them were sobbing.


    ''These girls... are all being held hostage here like me?'' Emily thought.


    "Um..." Emily wanted to say something, but her mouth was tightly secured by a tape and her hands


    were tied behind her back.


    One girl, who noticed Emily struggling, walked over to her carefully and untied the string and removed


    the tape from her face.


    "... Thank you," Emily said. She nced at the other girls and asked,"They''ve kidnapped so many girls.


    What do they want to do?"


    Before the girl that helped her replied, another girl said,"Are you innocent or just in stupid? What


    else would they do after kidnapping so many women? Obviously, we are going to be sold as pets to


    those rich men."


    They even couldn''t bepared to prostitutes, because thetter could still choose their customers,


    but they, couldn''t. They were more likemodities, unable to choose who they would get sold to.


    If by some stroke of good luck they met a nice owner, they could lead a well-off life. However, if they


    met with someone who had strange sexual fetishes, they would lead a life worse than death.


    These girls knew clearly what they were going to face, but they could not do anything to change their


    fates.


    Stunned by what she said, Emily became silent. After a while, she murmured,"... This is illegal."


    The girl who was talking to Emily was called Penny. Having heard what Emily had said, she sneered,"I


    understand that you''re new here, but there are many illegal cases happening everywhere in the world.


    What we are suffering is not something new."


    Penny slowly walked towards Emily and looked her up and down. She soon concluded that Emily had


    an elegant temperament, like a youngdy of a big noble family, different from everyone there.


    In truth, Emily''s temperament was moulded by Jacob. He enabled Emily to lead a rich life, and he also


    tried to protect her from all the bad things in the world. But today Emily still saw the dark side of the


    world she had been living in.


    Envious, Penny sneered and said coldly,"I guess you''ve lead a rich life, right? No wonder you are so


    innocent. But no matter how rich you are and how high your rank is in the outside world, here you are


    no different from all those girls: sordid toys of those rich men."


    Penny felt satisfied after she had said her piece. ''No matter how noble she is in the outside world, this


    woman will soon have to learn the ways of our dirty world.''


    Emily was surprised by Penny''s zeal. ''I didn''t offend her. Why is she being so hostile to me?''


    "Don''t mind what she said. She''s always like that," said the girl who untied Emily, as she gently yanked


    Emily''s coat-tail.


    Emily didn''t reply to Penny, because now she was starting to get worried about her mother, so she


    didn''t have the energy to quarrel with others. However, as soon as she thought about her mother, she


    remembered how Debby looked at Tina.


    Of course, Tina didn''t notice it, but Emily remembered Debby''s expression quite clearly. Debby looked


    at Tina in a way that a mother would look at her child... Moreover, Debby never looked at Emily in that


    way.


    Suddenly, it urred to Emily, ''Is she really Tina''s mother?'' Soon, her questions were leading to more


    questions rather than answers, so she quickly dismissed her thoughts.


    Now was not the time to think about such questions. If, and after she was rescued, she could go and


    find out the truth for herself.


    Emily looked around and asked,"How long have you been locked up in here?"


    The girl replied,"About three or four days. I heard that tomorrow we''ll put on the stage."


    "On the stage?" asked Emily.


    "In other words... auction."


    Benumbed with fear, Emily bit her lower lip gently and asked,"Have you tried to escape?"


    "No. There are so many people guarding this ce. We have no chance to escape. We can only wait


    for someone to rescue us. But I guess no one woulde to rescue me," Katherine, the girl that


    helped Emily, smiled bitterly. Her family only wanted boys. They tried to sell her to a rich old man so


    they could get a huge bride price, but Katherine didn''t want to be sold to him, so she ran away from her


    family.


    Out of the frying pan and into the fire - unfortunately, she was caught by the human traders. Now she


    wondered whether her life would have been much better if she had married that old man.


    "No. Someone wille and rescue you," Emilyforted her as she held her hands. She


    continued,"And my boyfriend is going toe and rescue me too."


    ''Jacob''s so powerful. Every time when I''m faced with danger, he shows up out of nowhere like a


    guardian angel. I believe that he will find me.


    But in the meantime, I can''t wait for death, doing nothing.''


    Before long, Emily stood up and looked around the warehouse. After a while she found out that apart


    from the door, there was also a window for air venttion. Those were the only two possible ways of


    going out.


    "Hey, maybe we can escape," said Emily. As expected, the door and the window was locked. However,


    while, the door was locked from the outside, the window was locked from the inside.


    Emily walked over and stood on her toes to look over the window, only to findplete darkness.


    Although, she couldn''t see anything, she soon realized that they were locked in an underground


    basement.
