The truck looked ordinary, no different from any other vehicle transporting fruit.
However, a hidden secret lay within.
When the doors of the large truck were opened, the cargo hold was packed with various kinds of fruit.
But under the cover of this fruit, two people—one adult and one child—were hidden in a narrow compartment.
Next to them sat a man holding a dagger, quietly scrolling through his phone.
As the first light of dawn gradually emerged, the two unconscious people finally woke up amidst the jolting.
At that moment, a massive wave of dizziness and a headache enveloped them.
The intense discomfort, combined with the loud roar of the truck, instantly filled their hearts with a strong sense of fear.
Their eyes snapped open, full of terror and panic, as they looked around their enclosed surroundings.
Seeing this, the two immediately tried to stand up and escape.
However, as they moved, they realized their limbs had long been tightly bound, leaving them unable to move.
Their lips were also tightly sealed, allowing only faint whimpers to escape.
Although the two tried their best to make noise, the truck was on the highway, and no one would ever notice such a faint sound.
Seeing Xiao Qing and his son wake up, the man who had been guarding them gave a sinister smile: "Stop shouting and save your strength. Once we reach Tyrande, you'll have a lot to deal with."
His tone was cold and heartless, as if foretelling a terrible fate awaiting the father and son.
Hearing this, the father and son looked at each other in panic, and then began to struggle desperately again.
Seeing them whimpering as if asking why this was happening...
The guarding man slowly poured out a handful of medicinal powder while explaining to them: "When you scammers were carrying out your fraud, why didn't you think about the consequences? Also, when you used other elderly people's identities to take out online loans, did you never think about today's outcome?"
"If we let you continue like this, more kind people will be deceived. Someone couldn't stand it, so they're doing a good deed by sending you both away. It's that simple. Come on, now that you're awake, sleep a bit longer. When we reach the destination, I'll wake you up for a meal."
After speaking, completely ignoring their terrified gazes, his hands quickly brought out a handful of powder and forcefully covered their mouths and noses.
Soon, the two who had been struggling incessantly just moments ago fell silent, sinking into a deep sleep just as they had for the past dozen or so hours.
At this moment, they had no idea that what awaited them ahead would be a journey of one transfer after another.
They would be taken to one unfamiliar place after another to endure countless tortures and hardships—all of which were the bitter fruits of the crimes they had committed... Waking up the next day and looking at the somewhat empty bedroom, Reba subconsciously sat up.
Because she got up a bit too quickly, she couldn't help but let out a sharp "hiss" of pain.
Then, she slowly shifted her hips.
Reba called out somewhat cautiously, "Jiang Cheng?"
"I'm in the bathroom."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's voice, Reba finally felt a bit relieved.
She had thought Jiang Cheng had left after their night together.
She picked up her phone and saw that it was already 12 noon.
After opening her phone, she saw that Yang Mi had sent her several messages.
"How was it? You haven't messaged me yet. Well? Are you satisfied?"
Seeing this, an image immediately popped into Reba's mind.
When that image appeared, she couldn't help but close her eyes tightly.
While she was closing her eyes and reminiscing, Jiang Cheng was already standing by her side.
Seeing Jiang Cheng suddenly appear, Reba shyly tried to hide her phone.
But in the end, she couldn't resist Jiang Cheng, and he took the phone to browse through it.
After Jiang Cheng browsed through it carefully, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said with a bit of pride, "Big Honey's situation wasn't that great. Look for yourself; compared to her, aren't you quite lucky?"
Hearing his words, a hint of shyness appeared on Reba's face, and she gave Jiang Cheng a gentle glance.
Although she didn't want to admit it verbally, she had to agree with Jiang Cheng's words in her heart.
Reba didn't reply to Jiang Cheng's words.
Instead, she shyly snatched back her phone and then secretly happily replied to Yang Mi: "Sister Mi, I've seen it, but the situation seems a bit different. It's basically like the largest photo, but two sizes bigger."
Not long after Reba sent it, Yang Mi replied: "What?? Are you serious??"
Reba: "Yeah. Have you eaten??"
Yang Mi: "I'm asking you! What meal? I can't even eat now. You didn't just wake up now, did you? From your message, you seem quite proud of yourself?"
Reba sighed helplessly and then replied: "Not at all. You don't know, I was scared to death last night. I thought I was a goner."
Yang Mi: "Silly girl. Although your good days are just beginning, I have to remind you that this kind of thing has pros and cons. If you aren't together in the future and you switch to another size, will you still be able to get used to it?"
Looking at the message from Yang Mi, the expression on Reba's face instantly went blank.
Several seconds passed, and Reba suddenly seemed like a different person.
She, who had been beaming with joy just a moment ago, was now filled with worry.
She said to Jiang Cheng with a long face, "You've really ruined me this time..."
