Auspicious Dental Clinic

"Young Master, those young men from yesterday are still searching the surrounding mountains. Should we show ourselves?"

Jin Yu's voice came from outside the door. Jiang Chao thought for a moment and said, "No need. Let them continue searching. We'll make a plan when Shaoling returns."

Jiang Chao has no intention of showing himself for the time being. These five people are quite strong, and more importantly, they made a good first impression on Jiang Chao.

Although the meeting was brief, Jiang Chao observed that the group were not bad people. If the situation were not so special, he would have liked to show himself and get to know them.

The events in Chenjia Village are too unbelievable, even unacceptable, to ordinary people.

The village of several hundred people, all because of their own mistakes, have become living dead, wandering aimlessly day and night, unable to find peace.

If Bi Sheng and his group knew what had happened here, they certainly wouldn't have been as patient as they were in listening to Bai Su Niang recount the truth, and a conflict would have been inevitable.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chao sighed. This was the price of meddling in other people's business: thankless work that could easily offend people.

If one is strong enough, that's one thing.

If someone lacks strength but harbors a chivalrous heart, their fate is predictable.

Qin Shaoling, who had been gone for two days and one night, finally arrived late at noon, accompanied by six other people.

These six men were human traffickers from a neighboring county.

Human traffickers, as the name suggests, are traffickers who sell human beings.

In Daliang, human slave trading is legal. Although it is disliked, it is generally not interfered with. Human slave traders are often backed by powerful families, and the government does not dare to offend them easily.

In present-day Daliang, natural disasters and man-made calamities have left countless people displaced, making the human trafficking business extremely booming.

Even in the capital, there are such professions.

In broad daylight, people are being bought and sold.

On the one hand, they provided servants and maids for wealthy families to meet their living needs.

On the other hand, it also ensured that some displaced and homeless people had food to eat and did not starve to death on the streets.

It can be considered a win-win situation.

Of course, those who engage in forced buying and selling, swindling, and trafficking of innocent people are excluded. Such forces are known as human traffickers and should be punished by everyone.

The six men that Qin Shaoling brought over were the most reputable human traffickers in the neighboring county, with the local government's endorsement, making them highly credible.

"Ah Lang, these are the manager and staff of Jixiang Dental Clinic in the neighboring county. This is Manager Xue, and the rest are the staff. I have already informed them of the situation here," Qin Shaoling introduced.

Jiang Chao looked at Manager Xue, who was in his fifties and slightly overweight, and cupped his hands in greeting, saying:

"I am Jiang Chao. Manager Xue and the others have come from afar. You must be tired from your journey."

The pampered Manager Xue had indeed suffered quite a bit on his journey. Upon hearing this, his eyelids twitched slightly, and he forced a smile:

"Young Master Jiang, you are too kind. It is my honor to be able to help you."

Does Manager Xue want to come? Of course not!

But there's nothing I can do!

The knife was already at his neck.

If he doesn't come, his entire family's lives will be in danger!

Having witnessed the coldness of human relationships and the treacherous nature of the martial world, Manager Xue sensed a chilling aura emanating from Qin Shaoling, this powerful figure who appeared out of nowhere.

He dared not gamble, nor could he afford to.

So he had no choice but to bring a group of his men here to carry out this rather absurd human trafficking operation.

"Manager Xue, don't be afraid. Although there are ghosts lurking here, they are not evil spirits. On the contrary, they are pitiful people who have suffered injustice and will not harm anyone."

"You just need to take the children here and leave, and make sure they are properly settled. There's no need to worry about anything else."

Jiang Chao noticed the other party's apprehension and said with a smile.

Manager Xue was skeptical, hesitated for a moment, and then asked:

"May I meet the children first?"

Jiang Chao nodded. "Of course."

He then led the group to the side room.

Inside the side room, a dozen or so children were lying in a row, fast asleep.

To prevent these children from suffering further harm, Su E used witchcraft to keep them in a deep sleep.

Of course, this state cannot be maintained for too long, otherwise it will inevitably damage the brain over time.

This is why Jiang Chao and his team are so eager to properly resettle these innocent children.

Human life is at stake; we cannot delay.

After looking at the dozen or so children of varying ages, none of whom were over ten years old, Manager Xue breathed a sigh of relief.

Children this young are not yet mentally mature, so they are relatively easy to settle down and will not suffer too much loss.

Before being coerced into coming, Manager Xue had already mentally prepared himself to pay a fine to avoid further trouble.

However, to his surprise, this business deal could actually be profitable, which was something he had not anticipated.

"We don't need Manager Xue's money. We just need you to take these children away safely and find suitable buyers in the neighboring county so that they can survive in the future. That's enough."

Jiang Chao stated his conditions, "Of course, you can refuse. We won't force you. However, doing a good deed every day will bring good fortune to Manager Xue in the future. Please consider it carefully."

Manager Xue barely hesitated before solemnly saying:

"Young Master Jiang, rest assured, now that I am here, I will keep my promise and raise these children well, and I will never let them suffer."

Instead of using the term "selling," Manager Xue agreed to raise the children himself.

Jiang Feng nodded in satisfaction. "If that's the case, that would be best. If Manager Xue has any other requests, please feel free to make them. As long as it's within my power, I will certainly agree."

As he spoke, Jiang Chao took out a stack of silver notes from his pocket. Judging from the amount of the notes, it was at least several thousand taels.

Manager Xue was taken aback; this young master was incredibly generous!

"Consider this money as a reward for Manager Xue. Please accept it."

Jiang Chao handed over the silver notes, but Manager Xue quickly declined, saying, "No, no, Young Master Jiang, I am only of modest means, and I only provide these children with some food, clothing and other necessities. I am not worthy of this silver."

After several refusals, Manager Xue finally accepted the two thousand taels of silver notes. Looking at the banknotes on the notes, Manager Xue was filled with emotion.

He naturally recognized the banknote's origin, and when the other party introduced himself as Jiang Chao from the Jiangnan region, Manager Xue instantly understood his identity.

That legendary Qilin Zi, the son of Yu Wushuang, the God of Wealth of the Great Liang Dynasty, and the son of Jiang Buwen, the Grandmaster of Martial Arts!

The last vestige of worry in my heart completely vanished.

Before leaving, Manager Xue unconsciously showed respect and bowed respectfully to Jiang Chao, saying:

"Young Master Jiang, please rest assured, I will do my utmost to raise these children. And if they wish to study or learn martial arts in the future, I will do my best to find them renowned teachers, and I will never mislead them!"

"With Manager Xue's words, I can rest assured," Jiang Chao nodded and smiled.
