Qin Mei wasn't fond of tea. She took the enamel mug and set it aside, whereas Jie Jingchen took a sip.
Jie Jingchen and Jie Jinghun each pulled up a chair close to Qin Mei, forming a small circle. Jie Jingchen spoke first, his expression grave. "Meimei, your brother convinced the human traffickers. They've agreed to sell Xiao Duo to me."
Qin Mei was stunned. The head of the traffickers was a bit hasty. They had a three-day timeframe, and this was only the first day.
"Is it a trap?" Qin Mei asked.
Jie Jingchen shook his head. "No, they're completely sincere."
"That's a good thing. Why the long face?" Qin Mei asked in confusion.
Jie Jingchen shot a sidelong glance at Jie Jinghun before turning back to Qin Mei. "They only agreed to sell Xiao Duo, not Shen Tong."
