"That's right, that's right. Men, go bring those two girls out!" the bald man ordered excitedly. His underlings immediately charged toward the carriage.
Inside the carriage, the girl's expression changed drastically when she heard the voices outside.
"Oh no, the Kuaihai Gang caught up with us."
"Big Sister, are the bad guys here?" The little girl instinctively hid in the girl's arms, clearly terrified of the people outside.

"Sister, wuuu... Sister!" the little girl sobbed helplessly inside the carriage.
