Chapter 499: Saved Her a Second Time
Chapter 499: Saved Her for the Second Time
The girls followed naively, saying, "I swear to forget everything about Wang Huilan from yesterday until today. If I reveal even a little bit about Wang Huilan, may I be struck by lightning and die."
Mengyu was satisfied: "Very good, have you girls seen Wang Huilan from yesterday until today?"
At this moment, the girls in the vehicle all opened their eyes, a bit bewildered.
Some answered, "No, I haven’t seen her." These were the ones who knew Wang Huilan.
Others asked, "Who is Wang Huilan?" These were the ones who didn’t know Wang Huilan.
It was apparent; these people had truly forgotten about Wang Huilan.
This was the Forget Technique, which required guiding through language and self-interest. Therefore, Mengyu attributed the act of saving them to Wang Huilan, making these people feel indebted to Wang Huilan. Consequently, they willingly followed Mengyu’s verbal guidance and forgot everything about Wang Huilan.
Xiao Tao was quite dissatisfied in the space: "Master, you saved forty-two girls here, that’s worth four hundred and twenty Merit Points. And you just gave all those Merit Points to that woman?"
Mentally, Merit Points are valuable, with one Merit Point being equal to ten thousand Learning Points!
In her heart, Mengyu reminded Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, when I was in junior high, although Wang Huilan didn’t bring me food every day like Shuiyu did, when Huaiyu bullied me, she was the one who helped me stand up to Huaiyu. She has helped me during my junior high days.
As the saying goes, for a drop of kindness, return a fountain of gratitude—what are these Merit Points in comparison?"
Xiao Tao was helpless: Master, Merit Points are hard to come by.
Mengyu walked back to the car, where Wang Huilan was still waiting, immersed in her own world.
Mengyu took her hand, saying, "Let’s go."
When her hand was pulled, Wang Huilan stiffened at first, but upon hearing Mengyu’s voice, her mind instantly relaxed, and she allowed Mengyu to lead her away.
She was pulled by Mengyu, running so swiftly that her feet barely touched the ground. All she could hear was the whistling of the wind in her ears, she felt, this speed, was almost like driving in a car.
No, even faster than driving!
Mengyu led Wang Huilan around the Public Security officers and warriors on the road, heading straight for the city.
Their car was almost close to the city when Mengyu, pulling Wang Huilan, dashed for a while before they entered the city and finally slowed down.
Although it was past one in the morning, the hotel allowed them entry due to the introduction letter in Mengyu’s hand (of course, it did not have the real names written on it)—it just found it a bit odd.
Mengyu registered a double room with an en-suite bathroom, pulled Wang Huilan into the room, and directly fetched a set of clothes: "Take a hot shower first, then we talk."
After being forced by Ah Sheng, Wang Huilan had wanted to take a bath, feeling dirty all over.
She tugged lightly at Mengyu’s hand: "Thank you, Mengyu!"
Mengyu looked into her eyes: "Clean well, and when you’re clean, you’ll be a brand new you. Don’t worry about the past, I will help you clean up any loose ends."
When Mengyu said she would help clean up the loose ends, she truly meant it.
She knew Wang Huilan’s pride, and also knew the consequences for a girl being trafficked and abused once the news made it back to her village.
Therefore, she was tidying up Wang Huilan’s mess—she had erased all memories related to her from the girls in the vehicle.
Settling into the bathtub, Wang Huilan finally relaxed.
She was truly rescued.
Mengyu had brought people to save her.
And when the warrior was about to take her away, Mengyu pulled her out, saving her from having to face the interrogations of those people.
Yes, she feared the interrogation, because to speak again of what happened in the car was like ripping open her wounds once more, which would be very painful and embarrassing. It could make her wish to die.
Mengyu prevented that embarrassment.
Mengyu essentially saved her for the second time.
