Chapter 46: Righteous and Brave

  "Is it the company's anniversary?"

  "Hmm..."

  Over the weekend, Wan Yan Sai came early to take Chen Yi Xuan shopping. The two of them were in a milk tea shop discussing company matters.

  "So it's tomorrow night then."

  "Uh, because I couldn't refuse Aisibo's invitation, I had no choice but to appear in a program. But I haven't played the violin for a long time, and I didn't have any suitable clothes either, so I asked Yixuan to come out and help me pick two outfits."

  "Hehe, no problem at all! So, Asaki can really play the violin!"

  "What?"

  Chen Yixuan smiled and shook her head.

  Wanyan Xiang's elegant appearance and the faint prince-like aura about him made it easy for people to associate him with a prince. Originally, Chen Yixuan had only been guessing that someone with such an aura would be well-suited to playing the violin or piano, just like Wanyan Xiang. Just now, hearing Wanyan Xiang say these words, it was indeed so.

  Chen Yixuan could even imagine that at the company's annual meeting, a pure white shirt, black Armani small shoulder pad and straight Western-style pants, plus Wan Yan's excessively beautiful and delicate face, holding a violin, would be such a wonderful sight!

  "Go!"

  "What's wrong?"

  Thinking about it, Chen Yixuan put down her milk tea and directly pulled Wang Yansak out of the milk tea shop.

  Since it's the anniversary, I should think carefully about it!

  Chen Yixuan directly pulled Wan Yan Sai to the commercial prosperity district, and must help Wan Yan Sai dress up to the most perfect standard!

  The stunning guy and beautiful girl's head-turning rate was originally very high, but Wan Yan Xiang and Chen Yi Xuan's excessively good friendship attracted many admiring and jealous glances. From their appearance alone, the two were a perfect match, a natural-born couple.

  However, in each of their hearts, there is an impossible person...

  Huh?

  While Wang Yan was trying on clothes that Chen Yi-xuan had picked out for her, Chen Yi-xuan heard a faint crying sound coming from somewhere nearby. It sounded like the voice of a young girl.

  It shouldn't be my own illusion, where did it come from?

  Chen Yixuan listened carefully and confirmed that she was absolutely not hallucinating. Moreover, there were indeed sobbing sounds beside her, what's going on?

  Chen Yixuan turned her head and glanced at Wan Yan Sake, who was still trying on clothes in the fitting room. She then turned around and walked towards the safety exit of the shopping mall's staircase.

  The sound came from here, Chen Yixuan looked up at the green safety exit sign and didn't think much, then pushed open the door.

  "Wooo..."

  As expected, I didn't mishear! Chen Yixuan came in from the safe passage staircase at the back of the stage and found a little girl of around ten years old hiding behind the door, crying.

  The little girl's clothes were tattered and torn, and even her face had signs of being beaten. What happened?

  "Little girl, you?"

  A girl suddenly appeared here, the little girl lifted her terrified face, turned around and wanted to run. However, her legs were trembling for some reason and couldn't exert any strength, and then fell to the ground.

  Ah...

  Chen Yixuan looked at the little girl in front of her, who was so scared that she didn't think twice and went over to support her. What's wrong with this little girl? Why is she hiding here crying alone? Where's her mother? And her clothes were tattered and worn out, more like those worn by a country girl, a small floral shirt and earth-brown pants.

  "Waaaahhh... Who are you! Go away!"

  "What?"

  The little girl's voice trembled with fear as she pushed Chen Yixuan beside her. Chen Yixuan wanted to open her mouth to explain something, was she afraid of herself?

  Chen Yixuan looked around left and right.

  "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. What are you doing here? What happened?"

  The little girl wiped away her tears, looked at Chen Yixuan, and was stunned for a moment. Then she raised her head to look at Chen Yixuan in front of her with a worried face. The fear in her eyes just now turned into pleading eyes, and suddenly she rushed into Chen Yixuan's arms.

  "Save me, save my sister! Please, I beg of you, save me! Waaahhh..."

  Save her......?

  Suddenly pouncing into her own arms, Chen Yixuan lowered her head to look at the trembling little girl in her arms, and suddenly realized something. Could it be that this little girl was being chased by bad people? So she ran here to hide? But the wounds on her body and the terror on her face made Chen Yixuan feel that things were not so simple.

  "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

  Chen Yixuan hugged the little girl in front of her, gently patted her back, wiped away her tears, and nodded to her. Then, Chen Yixuan took off her own coat and put it on the little girl beside her.

  "Tell me, what happened?"

  "Sister...... Waaahhhh......"

  The little girl looked at Chen Yixuan, wiping away her own tears. Some dirty little hands tightly grasped the outer garment that Chen Yixuan had put on her.

  "Sister, I'm called Xiaohua, and I came from the countryside in the south. My uncle told me that I could come to the city to work and earn money, so I did. But unexpectedly, my uncle actually wanted to sell me to someone else!"

  What...?!

  Listening to Xiaohua's cry, Chen Yixuan's heart suddenly shook! Child trafficking?! The little girl next to her was actually kidnapped and brought here?!

  "They said the transaction location was here, I saw that there were many people in this mall, so I took advantage of their distraction and escaped! Now, several girls who are with me are still in their hands! Waaahhh... Sister, I'm so scared! I don't want to be sold! I want to go home! Waaahhh..."

  “……”

  Chen Yixuan looked at the little girl beside her with a heartache, then hugged her more tightly in her arms, comforting and patting her back. How can such things happen? Chen Yixuan's face was anxious as she looked around, thinking of a solution. This is a crowded shopping mall, this little girl is very clever, knowing to run to where there are many people. But those bad guys must be looking for her everywhere now, what should we do?

  Chen Yixuan held her mobile phone, just about to dial the police, when she heard some urgent footsteps outside the safety passage. Judging from the sound, there were at least five people.

  "Damn it! Where on earth has that girl gone?"

  "Let you guys watch her, and she actually lets a country bumpkin girl escape! If we can't catch her, neither of us will be able to live!"

  "Yes! Let's search again! She's alone, she can't run far."

  "Hush...hush..."

  Listening to the loud curses outside, Chen Yixuan knew that the few people outside were probably the ones the little girl was afraid of. Xiaohua had also heard the men's shouts and was already frightened, hiding in Chen Yixuan's arms, trembling uncontrollably!

  Chen Yixuan hugged the little girl and hid behind the safety passage door. The rustling sound wandered around for a while, and Chen Yixuan shifted her attention to the footsteps, looking in another direction, only then did she slightly let out a breath of relief.

  It's no use staying here! Moreover, there are other girls in their hands, what to do?

  Chen Yixuan looked out through the glass of the security door, and outside, there was no longer any sign of those people, only endless tourists. Chen Yixuan turned her head to look at the little girl, wiped away her tears, grasped her hand tightly and nodded. The little girl understood what Chen Yixuan meant and simply nodded obediently.

  Then, Chen Yixuan pulled the girl out of the safe passage, walking towards the crowded area while trying to dial the police with her mobile phone.

  "If I see you again, will there still be feelings? The more innocent and pure the face is, the more innocent and pure it is..."

  But just as her own phone hadn't even had a chance to ring, Chen Yixuan's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the incoming call from Wanyan Xiao, Chen Yixuan knew that she must have worried him earlier!

  It was also at this time that Chen Yixuan's mobile phone rang, drawing the attention of some people. Those men stopped in their tracks and looked towards the direction of the ringing sound, only to discover Chen Yixuan tightly holding onto a little girl, Xiao Hua!

  "Big brother! Where is he?"

  "Grab her for me!"

  "Wooo..."

  Oh no! Chen Yixuan watched as several burly men rushed towards her, then grabbed the little girl and ran off in another direction.

  Wanyan Sake had just come out of the fitting room, but couldn't see Chen Yixuan's figure. She then called Chen Yixuan's phone with her mobile phone and heard the familiar ringtone. Turning around, she saw Chen Yixuan pulling another little girl running towards the outside. What was wrong? Who was that little girl?

  "Quick! Block them off for me! Don't let them get away!"

  "Yes!"

  What?

  Wanyan Sake heard the roar of several men, turned his head and found that they were chasing in the direction of Chen Yixuan. Although Wanyan Sake still didn't understand what was going on, looking at the situation in front of him, those people obviously wanted to catch Chen Yixuan and the little girl. How could this be!

  "Halt!"

  Wanyan Cai glanced at Chen Yixuan and the little girl running away, then turned sideways, raised her arm to block the path of those men.

  At this time, the situation that had become clear attracted the attention of the surrounding customers. Everyone cast strange and surprised glances at the confrontation between Wakana Saki and several men in front of them.

  Chen Yixuan heard Wan Yan's voice and turned her head to shield Xiaohua behind her. She quickly pressed something on her phone and handed it to Xiaohua to see.

  Quick! Shout for security and let the mall's security come up immediately. There are bad people causing trouble upstairs!

  Xiao Hua'er looked at the words Chen Yi-xuan wrote for her, then wiped away her tears. The panic from earlier was gone. The little girl took a deep breath and turned around to lean against the glass staircase, looking down at the security guards below.

  "Security! Security! Come quickly! There are bad people causing trouble here! Security! Come quickly! There are bad people causing trouble here!"

  The little girl's shrill cry quickly caught the attention of the security guard downstairs, and soon several men in black uniforms rushed upstairs after hearing the little girl's cries.
