Ouyang Hao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, "Lin Yixun, are you an idiot? Why did you fall in love with a man like that!"
The chairman of Leng Group openly made such harsh remarks, which forced many listed companies to give him face, while smaller companies naturally dared not provoke such a large group as Leng’s.
As a result, Lin Yixun faced obstacles everywhere in the coming days, and she couldn’t even find a position as a convenience store clerk. Forced into a corner, she had no choice but to leave A City with her mother and move to T City, 2000 kilometers away from A City.
She initially thought that staying away from Leng Yixiu would allow her to escape his sphere of influence and start a new life, but things did not go as she wished; Leng Yixiu’s power seemed even greater than she imagined.
In T City, she still couldn’t find a job. Misfortune never comes alone; at that moment, her mother was suddenly diagnosed with polyuria. At that time, they had almost no money left, and her mother’s sudden severe illness threw Lin Yixun into despair.
Watching her pocket money run out, Lin Yixun became anxious. Unable to find work and without money, meant they would soon have to sleep on the streets and her mother’s illness couldn’t be treated.
Driven to a dead end, Lin Yixun had no choice but to choose the most disgraceful job. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, when she went to Nightshade to apply, she was surprisingly hired successfully.
Lin Yixun was forced into a corner and decided to work at Nightshade, not out of a desire to degrade herself. She simply wanted to be a regular waitress there, unaware that once inside, it wouldn’t be so easy to leave unharmed.
Soon, her outstanding appearance brought her trouble. Even with thick makeup on her face, every time she went to the private rooms to sell drinks, she couldn’t avoid being harassed.
Although Lin Yixun felt very repulsed by this, if the harassment wasn’t too excessive, she would just tolerate it. But sometimes, not everything can be endured.
Ouyang Hao flipped through the documents in his hand page by page. His eyes suddenly darkened when he turned to the next page. The document came with illustrations, and the image on the page was exceedingly striking.
The images were clear; even under dim lighting, every face could be seen clearly. Ouyang Hao’s gaze was fixed on the woman in the photo.
Her arms were forcibly held by two tall men, her face covered in dirt, her cheeks horribly swollen, and there seemed to be a shoe print on her right cheek.
Yes, that woman was Lin Yixun.
Her eyes were staring fixedly in one direction. Following her gaze, Ouyang Hao saw a man holding a dagger in the corner of the photo. Despite facing the cold dagger, Lin Yixun’s lips held a sardonic smile, her eyes filled with naked irony.
No, Ouyang Hao clearly saw bone-deep fear in her eyes, but besides fear, she still had pride. Even in such a sorry state, there was a sense of stubbornness in her eyes.
Ouyang Hao could easily guess what would happen next. Sure enough, he found Lin Yixun’s fate in the text below the picture. His slender fingers started uncontrollably trembling.
Ouyang Hao remembered casually asking Lin Yixun how the scar on her cheek came to be. At that time, she only gave a faint smile and said it was from an accidental fall.
Recalling this now, Ouyang Hao’s whole heart ached. How could a girl who went through such an ordeal speak of it so lightly and calmly?
