Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 596: Chapter 598: Recently, a group of human traffickers has arrived in Lin County

"Store Manager, what are you doing here?" The speaker was none other than one of Wang Kui’s subordinates from the Xuntian Escort Agency.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Yang Ming felt as if he had seen a savior. "How come you are here?"

"Store Manager, we’ve set up a base here at Xuntian Escort Agency. The Head Escort Master asked me to stay and lead everyone in expanding our influence."

Yang Ming hadn’t expected that his earlier suggestion to Wang Kui to expand their influence to Lin County would be put into action so soon. "How many people do we have at the agency now?"

"Not many yet, currently only around fifty."

A glint of determination flashed in Yang Ming’s dark eyes. Fifty men were like coals in snowy weather to him; even one more person meant extra strength. He was even starting to feel grateful for taking over the Xuntian Escort Agency. "This afternoon, my wife went missing at the Marriage Fate Temple, and I suspect she was taken away."

Upon hearing this, the Escort Head quickly replied, "Store Manager, don’t worry. Our Xuntian Escort Agency has connections in both the underworld and lawful societies. We will definitely find your sister-in-law."

Afterwards, Yang Ming followed the Escort Head to the Xuntian Escort Agency’s foothold in Lin County and met the brothers there. Upon hearing what happened, they all thumped their chests, vowing to do their part in the search.

Someone then said, "Store Manager, our Xuntian Escort Agency has been looking for Xiatian, so we know a bit about the goings-on in Lin County. Recently, a group of human traffickers arrived in the county. Could it be..."

Upon the mention of human traffickers, Yang Ming suddenly remembered the previous night’s incident involving the attempted capture of Wang Xiangxiang, wondering if it might be the same people involved.

"It is said that those traffickers specifically kidnap girls to sell to brothels in other regions."

Hearing this, Yang Ming couldn’t stay still for a moment longer. What if his wife was truly captured by those people?

"Let’s go." Yang Ming led the Escort Head towards Chu Lian’s residence.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Yang Ming began calling out anxiously for Wang Xiangxiang, "Sister." noveldrama

Upon hearing Yang Ming’s voice, Wang Xiangxiang quickly came out of the house, with Chu Lian immediately following her.

"Third brother, how is it going? Any news?"

"Sister, do you remember the burly men you bumped into last night?"

Chu Lian, feeling urgent upon hearing Yang Ming’s question, shouted out first, "Yang Ming."

"Big Brother Chu, I can’t worry about that right now. Those people are human traffickers. I suspect Xiaoxiao was taken by them."

Chu Lian fell silent, knowing he couldn’t stop him. Right now, finding Xiaoxiao was what mattered most; Xiangxiang knowing about the situation was something unavoidable.

Although Wang Xiangxiang didn’t quite understand what the two men were implying, as soon as she heard those people took Xiaoxiao, she quickly fetched paper and ink to draw a portrait. Yang Ming took the portrait and was about to leave.

Wang Xiangxiang called after him, "Third brother, where are you going? Who is that man?"

"He’s from the escort agency I found. They have connections in both the dark and the light. I think the more people we have searching, the quicker we’ll find her. I’m going to join them in the search now."

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiangxiang said nothing more. She knew Yang Ming wouldn’t just sit and wait; she had to let him go.

After Yang Ming left, Chu Lian said, "Xiangxiang, draw those portraits again. I’ll have my men and Han Yongsheng’s men search as well. We’ll find her faster this way."

When Wang Xiangxiang heard him call her by her name, her heart trembled, but in such times, she couldn’t afford to be distracted. She quickly drew several more portraits and handed them to Chu Lian to assist in the search.

Seeing that Xiangxiang hadn’t mentioned the incident from the previous night, Chu Lian breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, the two of them returned to their rooms to rest, but neither slept well, waiting throughout until the break of dawn the next day.
