Jian Si, in her semi-conscious state, regained a bit of awareness amidst the jostling.
Dimly, there seemed to be voices conversing nearby.
"Are we heading to the docks now?"
"Lu Youting has sealed all the passages out of Jiangcheng; we can't get out. We'll have to smuggle ourselves away! The boss has already arranged two cargo ships for us. You'll take the little brat on one, and I'll take this woman on the other."
"Why not send them off together?"
"The boss said we can't let them stay together or send them to the same place. We must separate them so they can never meet again in their lives."
"Damn, the employer is so cruel! Separating mother and child; isn't that virtually taking their lives? The kid is only four and a half years old. Thrown all alone into a foreign country, how will he survive? Sooner or later, he'll starve to death in the streets."
