Chapter 157 The strong make the rules, the weak seek bullshit justice
Then, Shi Qingqian walked to the other children, talked to them one by one, and understood their situation. The children gradually relaxed.
At night, the whole village was immersed in silence.
Shi Qingqian's heart was pounding with nervousness. She carefully led the children through the dark path and walked towards the edge of the cliff.
The children followed Shi Qingqian closely. Although they didn't know where they were going, they could feel from Shi Qingqian's nervous expression that something unusual was about to happen.
They tried not to make any noise as small figures moved in the night.
Finally, they came to the edge of the cliff.
The night wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness and also making people feel fear.
Shi Qingqian took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She quickly opened the space, a faint light flashed, and the huge eagle Amiu appeared in the night sky.
The children were stunned when they saw the eagle suddenly appear.
They stared at the behemoth with wide eyes in horror, and some of them couldn't help but scream.
The shouts sounded particularly harsh in the silent night sky, instantly breaking the tranquility of the night.
Shi Qingqian thought to herself that something was wrong, and beads of sweat instantly appeared on her forehead. She knew that time was running out and she couldn't delay any longer.
"Children, don't be afraid, it will take us away from here, hurry! Get on the eagle's wings!" Shi Qingqian shouted anxiously, with a hint of nervousness and panic in her voice.
The children were frightened by this sudden change and were at a loss as to what to do, but at Shi Qingqian's urging, they suppressed their fear and ran towards the eagle.
Some children used their hands and feet to climb the eagle's huge wings, while others, with the help of their companions, tried hard to climb onto the eagle's back.
Shi Qingqian was directing the children while nervously observing the movements around her.
She could feel that the people in Yangjia Village had been awakened and might chase after her at any time. Her heart was beating as fast as a drum and her hands were clenched into fists.
If she misses this opportunity today, her identity will be completely exposed. Even if Boss Lei cannot transfer these children immediately, she will not have the chance to contact them again.
Ami seemed to sense the approaching danger, flapping its wings restlessly and trying hard not to make any sound.
Shi Qingqian kept encouraging the children: "Don't be afraid, hurry up, we will be able to leave here soon."
Just as the children climbed onto the eagle's back one after another, noisy sounds were heard in the distance.
The people from Yangjia Village were holding torches and rushing towards the edge of the cliff. Shi Qingqian's heart suddenly rose to her throat.
Shi Qingqian's eyes were fixed on the crowd that was getting closer and closer. When she saw that the person leading the group was none other than Boss Lei, her heart sank suddenly.
Boss Lei's face was terribly gloomy, and there was a flame of anger burning in his eyes.
He never thought that Shi Qingqian would betray him.
No...it should be said that she has been lying to him all along. Her innocent and kind appearance was all a lie, just to make him let down his guard.
In fact, she had been planning this escape somewhere unknown to herself.
Boss Lei's footsteps were heavy and powerful, and every step seemed to step on Shi Qingqian's heart.
He clenched his fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, showing his extreme anger at the moment. His eyes were fixed on Shi Qingqian.
"Shi Qingqian! How dare you betray me!" Boss Lei's voice rang out in the night sky like thunder, full of anger and shame.
There was a slight tremor in his voice, which was the pain and unwillingness after being betrayed.
"Ami, run!" Shi Qingqian shouted and raised his pistol at Boss Lei.
"Qianqian, what are you going to do?"
"Leave me alone, get the kids out of here first."
The eagle immediately spread its huge wings, flapped them vigorously, and took off into the air with the children.
The children clung to the eagle's feathers and looked in horror at the ground that was getting farther and farther away.
As the eagle soared into the sky, Boss Lei's men finally came back to their senses from their shock.
They stared with wide eyes, watching the huge eagle carrying the children away, their hearts filled with astonishment and panic.
"Quick! Shoot! We can't let them get away!"
One of his men shouted in panic, and the others, as if waking from a dream, raised their hunting rifles and pistols and shot at the eagle.
For a moment, gunshots rang out one after another in the night sky.
The bullet streaked across the night sky like a meteor, flying towards the eagle.
However, the eagle flew so high and so fast that most of the bullets missed, leaving only sharp whistling sounds in the air.
A few of the men were unwilling to give up and kept adjusting their shooting angles, trying to aim at the eagle. They had ferocious expressions on their faces, as if they wanted to shoot down the eagle and the children together.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this!" one of the men cursed while pulling the trigger frantically.
The bullets sparked in the night sky, but they could never hit the target.
Boss Lei stood aside, his face looking terribly gloomy.
He clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with anger, and watched his men shooting in vain, his rage growing stronger.
"Aim and shoot! If you let them get away, you will have no chance of escape!" Boss Lei roared.
When the men heard the boss's order, they shot even harder.
But the eagle flew farther and farther with the children, gradually disappearing into the night sky. The gunshots gradually died down, leaving only silence.
The subordinates stood there dejectedly, not daring to look at Boss Lei's expression.
Boss Lei slowly withdrew his gaze from the distant eagle and stared at the woman who was pointing a gun at him.
His eyes were filled with anger, disappointment and complex emotions, and his chest heaved violently, as if he was suppressing the rage that was about to erupt.
"Do you think you can escape like this?" His voice was low and threatening, and it was particularly clear in the silent night.
Shi Qingqian's hands trembled slightly, but she still held the gun firmly, with no sign of retreat in her eyes.
"You human traffickers are completely devoid of conscience."
Boss Lei felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw Shi Qingqian's eyes filled with anger and condemnation.
"Shi Qingqian, do you think you are righteous? In this world, only the strong can survive."
Shi Qingqian sneered, "Strong? What you call strong is someone who gains benefits by hurting innocent children? You are not strong at all, you are a coward, a coward who dares not face his own sins."
Boss Lei's expression grew even darker, his fists clenched tightly, his nails digging deeply into his palms.
"What do you know? You have no idea what I've been through."
"I'm telling you, this world is inherently unfair. The strong make the rules, and the weak seek bullshit justice."
