"Before that, do I have some friends who can stay with you?"
Bartender: "Friends?"
Su Yao?
However, the moment Gu Qi brought "some friends" to the bar, an extremely complicated expression suddenly appeared on the bartender's face.
He looked at the ragged and dirty children in front of him, and then looked at Gu Qi.
"Su Yao didn't tell me that you were still involved in this kind of thing."
Gu Qi: "Huh?"
Bartender: "Although it's a bit unexpected, the lambs brought into the underground black market need to pay a handling fee. You guys..."
The bartender glanced at the children.
"I'll give you a 20% discount."
Gu Qi: "..."
Did he misunderstand something?
The children who walked out of the institute for the first time were already very nervous. When they heard the bartender call him "little lamb", they were already frightened and nervous, and they couldn't help but huddle together.
They had heard the words "little lamb" in the research institute before. That was what the people in those research institutes called their children.
"Don't... don't leave us to him..." The purple-eyed child at the head felt strong uneasiness, and stretched out his hand to pull Gu Qi's clothes tremblingly.
Gu Qi looked at the group of cubs who were about to cry.
Bartender: "If you're not familiar with it, you can hand it over to me first. I'll take it over and put it in a separate warehouse. The two-legged sheep and lambs here will be put there first. Wait until you find a buyer.
…”
Gu Qi: "They are not little lambs."
Bartender: “???”
Gu Qi: "They are not goods, and I am not going to sell them to anyone. It's just my first time entering the black market, and it's inconvenient to take them with me, so I'll put them in your bar for now."
Bartender: "..."
Gu Qi's words really surprised him. I don't blame him for thinking too much. Look at the current situation of these children. They don't look like they come from a normal family. They are all half-clothed, their hair is messy, and they are covered in stains.
There was so much dust that a dozen children didn’t even have a pair of shoes...
No matter how you look at it, it looks like a little lamb that has been dragged for sale.
"Okay, it seems I misunderstood." The bartender shrugged.
The children were taken to the only private room in the bar that had not been sieved.
Gu Qi planned to leave the children here temporarily, but before she took two steps, the purple-eyed child suddenly ran out and followed her.
Gu Qi: "Yeah?"
The child slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Qi with uneasiness in his eyes.
But he seemed a little nervous. The moment Gu Qi glanced at him, he lowered his head in panic and grabbed the tattered corners of his clothes uneasily.
He knew that it was very rare for this big sister to be able to take them out of there. Without her, they would still be locked up in the research institute as they were in the past, and they would never be able to break free from the prison.
They should be content, but...
They had never left the institute and wanted to escape, but after escaping, they entered a completely unfamiliar world. Everything here was different from the institute. The new environment made them, children of several years old, at a loss as to what to do.
She wanted to be with the only person she was familiar with, Gu Qi.
Seize this ray of salvation.
"Yes...I'm sorry..." The purple-eyed child knew that his behavior would cause trouble to Gu Qi, but...
