I staggered uncontrollably, my back slamming against the rail of the boat.
Pain caused my body to curl up instinctively.
Zhao Mengxi's danger was eliminated, and she immediately turned around and walked over to me, delivering a fierce kick to my chest.
In that moment, my mind went blank, the world before me growing dark as the pain left my limbs numb.
"Slut!" Zhao Mengxi's face twisted with ferocity as she crouched down, lifted her hand, and fiercely slapped me, the hit making stars burst before my eyes.
"What are you, daring to threaten me, only to end up in my hands?" Her fingers dug cruelly into my neck, the intense choking sensation made me instinctively struggle.
"Keep choking her and she'll die," the leader said indifferently from the side, "You wanted to sell her to Southeast Asia, didn't you? If she dies now, all your efforts will have been wasted."
