Once Yu Dong heard what happened, her expression changed. She immediately went to look for her brother, more than three hours had passed and the children were not back, she did not think it was a good thing.
Yu Dong and Madam Kong went around looking for the children, they even went to look for the friends of Kong Pili and Li in hopes that the kids were at the friends’ home.
But no matter which house they went to, they did not find either Yu Mai or the two Kong sisters.
The sky slowly turned dark and yet Yu Dong and Madam Kong couldn’t find either the head or tail of their children.
Everyone told them only one thing—They had not seen Kong Pili or Kong Li.
Even after searching the entire neighbourhood, they did not find the three children.
Madam Kong, who had never expected that one day she would lose more than one child, squatted down and then tugged on her hair. What should she do now? What should she do? Where should she go? Her children —where would they be?
Her daughters —they just disappeared? No. There was no way her daughters would just disappear like that, they certainly, were taken away.
“Let’s go back and take a look at the inn, maybe the children went back?” Yu Dong could now only hope that Yu Mai was alright. With the bracelet in his hands, he should be fine.
When Madam Kong heard Yu Dong’s words, she snapped out of her daze and immediately dashed back home. She had no choice but to hope that her daughters went back home.
However, as soon as she returned, she saw her worried husbands and a guilty Master Xiao. Her daughters did not return.
Madam Kong stumbled and fell to her knees. She covered her face and cried, “My daughters! They are not back. What am I supposed to do now?”
“Madam, please control yourself. If you crumble like this, how will we hold on?” Guo Zian said to his wife as he patted her on the back. He wanted to cry as well, even though the two girls were not born by him, because Master Xiao was too busy taking care of his maternal family —
Guo Zian was the one who had raised the two girls. In a way, he was more of a father to them than Master Xiao could ever be.
His heart was also tearing in pieces when he thought about what kind of situation the kids would be in at the moment.
….
On the other side, inside a carriage.
Kong Pili and Kong Li were still unconscious. Yu Mai was awake as the woman who picked him up did not knock him unconscious.
She must have thought that there was no need to worry about knocking him out as he was just a mer. Yu Mai sighed feeling annoyed by the fact that he was looked down on by the human traffickers, he ripped another chunk of fur from the inside of his teddy bear and threw it outside from under the space of the door.
Yu Mai was certain that as long as his sister saw these chunks of fur, she would definitely come looking for him.
He was so smart!
He then turned to look at Kong Pili and Kong Li before muttering, “When will they wake up? Mai wants to go back to my sister.” That was right, Yu Mai knew that he could return to his sister’s side as long as he used the bracelet, he could return to Yu Dong.
But he did not want to leave his friends, that would be a bad thing to do.
So, Yu Mai was patiently waiting for the two girls to wake up. He did not want to leave them behind, what would his sister do if he ran away alone?
But neither Kong Li nor Kong Pili woke up until they reached the hideout of the human traffickers.
“Now little one, you better not make a sound,” said the ugly mer with a smile on his face. “I will take you to a good place tomorrow.” They had already talked with the daddy of the brothel that was just an hour away from their hideout.
That mer had promised them ten taels of gold as long as they could bring him a rich, beautiful and good-looking mer.
This mer looked decent, they could easily sell him for more than ten taels of gold if they haggled properly.
Yu Mai looked at the ugly mer and said, “I don’t want to go anywhere with you. My sister said that one should not follow strangers.”
“But I am your sister’s friend,” said the mer with a smile as he tied Kong Pili and Kong Li.
“My sister doesn’t have ugly friends like you.”
The human traffickers: “…”
“You—”
“What do you think you are doing?” The woman who was the partner of the mer stepped inside the wooden shack. She turned and looked at the mer who had his hand raised as if he was going to strike Yu Mai.
She furrowed her brows and said, “What do you think you are doing? That mer is our precious treasure, how could you even think of hurting him, if his face got damaged, will you be paying for the damages?”
The mer frowned and put down his hand. He then walked over to the woman before saying, “He called me ugly.”
“And that’s supposed to make you upset?” The woman despite hearing his complaints, arched her brows and sniggered. “You are ugly, there is no point in even questioning that.”
Her words caused the mer to fume but the woman did not care about him, instead, she turned to look at Yu Mai and the rest of the children she had kidnapped.
“Now you all be good,” said the woman with a harsh sneer as she looked down at the children who shrieked and hid behind one another in fear. “If you dare to make trouble, I will send you to meet the King of Yama.”
