Under Julian’s persistent urging, the ship finally reached the Atlantic port. During this ti, Qin Cuifen had ca looking for Sheng Ning several tis, cursing and mocking maliciously. Sheng Ning pretended not to hear, as she had no reason to get angry with an idiot now.
Surviving is the most important thing at the mont.
Before entering the port, Julian had already increased his control over Sheng Ning. Afraid she might escape, he directly added hypnotic ingredients to the sleeping pills she took every day.
At first, Sheng Ning didn’t notice, but later when she felt her spirits deteriorating every day, she decided to bribe Doctor Bill.
The only necklace she had left was given away; it was a gift from her grandfather. Appearing very simple in design, it was made of silver, and its silver content was not very pure, looking as if it had impurities and wasn’t worth much.
When it was given to her, she was in the General Union and didn’t have many opportunities to wear jewelry usually. Later, the president gave her a six-month vacation, and she finally rembered to bring the necklace.
The other purpose was to please her grandfather.
The necklace had always been secretly kept on her, originally ant as her last lifeline. But for the sake of not letting the baby in her womb be affected, she had to reluctantly take it out.
Doctor Bill was very dismissive, shaking his head and refusing to agree. Finally, after Sheng Ning’s heartfelt plea, he reluctantly agreed.
The main reason was that he could save so sleeping pills.
After the ship docked, Sheng Ning didn’t even have ti to take a glance before being locked into a large container along with many black won and children and shipped away.
As for where they were transported, she did not know.
Sitting silently in the corner of the container with her hands wrapped around her knees, her nose was filled with difficult odors. Her stomach churned; the pregnancy nausea, absent for a month, reappeared.
All she could do was cover her mouth and endure it desperately.
In the world’s largest city of 1984, there is prosperity beyond the imagination of ordinary people at ho. This place has world-renowned streets, theaters, luxury shops, and art dealerships with hundred-year histories.
There are all kinds of unbelievable markets, among which slave trade remains a peculiar industry in M Country. The trigger for the Civil War was the ruthless oppression of black slaves and the buying and selling abuse by slave estate owners.
Even now, although the governnt has banned it, deeply rooted things can’t be eradicated overnight.
This grey industry still thrives.
On the famous luxury street, there is an art dealership with a hundred-year history. Its luxuriously decorated facade features two levels of display windows. Standing outside, one can see the piano once played by Chopin, displayed in the window.
The dim yellow light casts shadows on the piano, radiating the splendor of texture and historical depth.
Here not only sells artwork, but also conducts acquisitions, and the store’s owner is behind M Country’s largest art auction house. People like Doctor Bill wouldn’t usually have the courage to set foot past the threshold.
But this ti is different, he couldn’t wait to take a taxi here right after getting off the ship. Yes, the stingy man who never took the car before, took a taxi this ti.
Entering the place, Bill cautiously looked around.
"Hello!" A beautiful blonde lady in uniform greeted him, showing no impoliteness due to his shabby clothes. They all know, in this business, those who dress poorly may not afford expensive art pieces, but might have sothing to sell.
