Chapter 111: Chapter 111: She Can Stay at My Place First
"Is this girl saying that they came to rescue her?"
The blonde girl’s eyes wavered and she asked in a timid voice, "...are you saying, you are the police?"
"No, but we’ve tied up the bad guys," Lu Sheng said calmly. "We will call the police later and they will help you return home."
Lan Yu finally regained her composure from the sudden event just now.
The girl’s sneak attack was well-prepared, completely catching her off guard. She didn’t react in time, nor could she dodge.
If it wasn’t for the swift reaction of the person here, she might have been stabbed through the throat with an iron spoon by now.
But to save her, the face of this Panda...
Usually outgoing, Lan Yu felt a hint of guilt coloring her expression. God had his face scratched to save her, which made her heartache, sobbing.
"What’s going on, what happened?" Hearing the commotion from the small room just now, Lu Youming and Han Jing quickly rushed over.
Seeing the cut bleeding on Lu Sheng’s face, they couldn’t help but also be startled. Especially Lu Youming, his deep black eyes darkened.
"Sorry, I’m so sorry..." the blonde girl took a deep breath and said guiltily while holding the iron spoon, "I mistook you for bad guys... I’m sorry..."
"It’s okay," Lu Sheng didn’t mind, only asking, "Did you sharpen this iron spoon yourself?"
"Yes..." the girl bit her lip, "The first day I was locked up, I secretly hid this spoon and have been sharpening it ever since."
"I’ve been keeping track of time by their feeding schedule, today is the fifth day I’ve been locked up."
"They put sleeping pills in the soup they deliver every day. To stay awake, I only drank a little and secretly dumped the rest."
Keeping track of time in a dark basement, hiding and sharpening an iron spoon into a weapon, and even noticing sleeping pills in the soup, this girl is clearly a smart person.
"Where are you from, and how were you brought here?" Han Jing asked.
The girl looked bewildered when Han Jing asked this question.
"I, I don’t remember..."
The girl bit her lip and said, "All I remember is that I got hit by a car that day. My head hurt so much, then I passed out."
"When I woke up again, I was locked in this room. I can’t remember my name or where I came from, my mind is a blank."
"I don’t know who the people who captured me are, but I know they are bad people, so these few days, I’ve been figuring out how to escape."
The girl had amnesia.
This was something Lu Sheng and the others had not expected.
"It’s okay, it doesn’t matter if you can’t remember who you are," Lan Yu comforted, "You’ve been missing for so many days, your family must have called the police, and the police will help you get home."
However, what Lan Yu didn’t expect was just as her words ended, the emotions of the still shocked girl suddenly became agitated.
"...no, no!"
"Although I can’t remember who I am, there’s always a voice in my head telling me never to go home."
Tears filled the girl’s eyes as she lifted her head, almost pleadingly, "Please... can you not hand me over to the police, just let me leave on my own?"
The people in the room exchanged glances.
And then withdrew from the room.
The girl clearly had amnesia due to the car accident, and whether the accident caused her temporary or permanent memory loss, they didn’t know.
But she also said there was a voice in her head telling her never to return home. That implies she was likely trying to escape from home in the first place.
Moreover, seeing her fear of returning home as an instinctual response, there must be someone or something at her home that fills her with dread.
Like maybe someone at home was abusing her or even assaulting her.
If her family really has this kind of situation, then they indeed can’t just hand her over to the police.
Because the police can’t keep her in the police station indefinitely. No matter when her memory recovers, the police will eventually help her find her family, allowing her family to take her back.
If she had escaped from her home after great difficulty, wouldn’t that mean sending her back to Hell after she escaped from there?
"What should we do now?" Han Jing scratched his head.
"She said that herself, we definitely can’t just leave her here and let the police take her away," Lan Yu said.
"Moreover, even if we keep her here, since she’s so resistant to the help of the police, she would probably try to escape on her own."
"But such a frail girl, and with amnesia, we can’t just let her leave alone, that would be too unsafe."
Lu Youming also frowned slightly.
The best solution at the moment is to have this girl stay with them temporarily.
They could take her to the hospital for a check-up, to see when her memory might recover. Once this girl has recovered her memory, or her mental state has stabilized, then let her decide whether to go home or leave on her own.
But the three of them, Lan Yu is from Beijing and has no residence in Jiang City. He and Han Jing are males, it’s not appropriate to take a girl away.
At this moment, Lu Sheng suddenly spoke up, "I have an apartment in Jiang City, she can stay there for now."
Everyone paused for a moment.
"Let’s wait until she recovers her memory, or until we find out exactly what’s going on in her home, then consider sending her back," Lan Yu suggested.
"Right now, the best option is to have her come with me."
It indeed is the best option.
"But... Pan God, is it convenient for you?" Lan Yu asked.
For Lan Yu, the three of them were assigned a task by their organization, and this girl was their responsibility.
But this young girl was simply involved by chance, there was no need to bring such "trouble" onto themselves.
Lu Sheng nodded.
Since Lu Sheng said so, they all went back inside the room.
Hearing the girl they just rescued say that she could follow her, the girl visibly sighed in relief and gratefully said, "Thank you, thank you."
Then her gaze turned slightly embarrassed, "But... I don’t have any money on me now, I can only cause you trouble, until I recover my memory..."
"No worries," Lu Sheng interrupted her, "Money is not important, your safety is more important."
The girl’s expression visibly filled with gratitude.
Fortunately, these beasts, in order to get a better price for their "goods", had not subjected the girl in front of them to that ordeal, which was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
They left behind paper with Hu San’s all subordinates’ details and the phone logged into his Black Market account at the scene.
Lu Youming used a disposable phone card to report to the police that there was an illegal detention of a young girl here, related to Jiang City’s recent girl disappearance and trafficking cases.
The rest was left to the police, to catch Hu San’s subordinates, and to track the whereabouts of those girls who have been trafficked.
Lu Sheng, Han Jing, and the others, along with the girl they rescued, walked out from the back door of the villa.
Lu Youming had called for a car sometime earlier, and by the time they went out, there was already a car waiting for them.
The car drove continuously until it reached the address given by Lu Sheng.
It was a small detached apartment, not far from the Lu Family’s residence.
Lu Sheng first opened the door to let the girl in to rest, then came out to find Han Jing and the others.
Since there were no other people around, and considering the events of tonight which they had all experienced together, Han Jing took the initiative to start explaining.
