“What tragedy did she encounter after that?”
Pang Guang could not help but ask.
“As she was beaten and insulted all year round, All Hong suffered from severe psychological trauma, causing her to forget many things.”
“Including everything about her biological parents.”
“Ah Hong didn’t know what to do after leaving the village,” Chen Yu sighed.
“But there is one thing that she knows.”
“Get as far away from there as possible.”
By picking up food from the trash can, Ah Hong walked hundreds of miles and arrived at a private mine.
When she heard they were hiring female cooks, All Hong stayed and began cooking for the miners.
The boss of the mine scammed All Hong for being ignorant and only gave her a salary of 200 yuan a month.
Even so, her salary of 200 yuan was often late.
One day, a few drunk miners dragged Ah Hong into the mine and sullied her.
Sighing, Chen Yu continued, “After living as a child bride for so many years, Ah Hong’s personality has become submissive.”
“After being sullied by them, All Hong didn’t think of calling the police.
Instead, she wanted to leave this place that gave her nightmares again.”
“With the few hundred yuan she had saved, Ah Hong went to a big city and found a new job very quickly.”
“Her second job was a waitress in a big restaurant.”
“In the first two months, Ah Hong lived quite well. At least her salary wasn’t delayed here.”
“Around the third month, another nightmare hit her again.
“The son of the restaurant owner coveted Ah Hong’s beauty. One night, he called Ah Hong to his office.”
“He forced himself on her in the office and humiliated Ah Hong again.”
“While the boss’s son was sleeping soundly after the incident, Ah Hong found her detained ID card in the office and left this place.”
“In the remaining years, Ah Hong suffered all kinds of hardships.”
“There was even one time when she was tricked into joining a multi-level marketing organization.”
“Later, Ah Hong met a man who was six years older than her.”
“In the beginning, the man treated Ah Hong the best he could and doted on her.”
“Ah Hong thought she had finally found happiness in her life.”
“Not long after, the man disappeared.”
“The money All Hong had saved over the years also disappeared.”
“Ah Hong, who was cheated of her feelings and penniless, chose to wander again.”
“More than a year ago, Ah Hong came to Hangzhou and became a waitress at a Phoenix nightclub.”
“After being bullied by men countless times, All Hong no longer believes in relationships, let alone that men can bring her happiness.”
“Therefore, no matter how Jiang Damao tried to seduce her, Ah Hong refused to date anyone.”
“Working in a place of false romance, All Hong refused to take any ‘side gigs’.”
“Once, Ah Hong even helped a junior who also refused to entertain a customer and chase away the drunk customers who harassed her.”
Following Chen Yu’s narration, everyone’s faces were filled with pity and sympathy.
At this moment, Li Changjun understood Chen Yu’s meaning.
Ah Hong suffered too much when she was alive.
It was so bitter that it could not be described with words.
Even when she died, she didn’t leave behind a corpse.
Perhaps the only thing that could make her feel better was to let her take revenge after her death.
“Captain, my stomach hurts. I’ll take a leave of absence to go to the hospital.”
At this moment, one of the team members suddenly held his stomach and looked at Li Chang Jun with a pained expression.
At the same time, another team member shouted exaggeratedly, “Yo, my stomach hurts too!”
“There must be something wrong with the food we ate tonight. You guys had dinner with me. Let’s go to the hospital together.”
Upon hearing this, many more members had pained expressions.
Li Changjun, who was originally in a bad mood, saw the exaggerated performance of his team members and couldn’t help but laugh.
No one could hide their little thoughts.
“Don’t always go to those dirty restaurants to eat in the future.”
“Diarrhoea during a mission?”
“Hurry up and go to the hospital for a check-up. Don’t let it affect your work tomorrow.”
“The few of you are in charge of accompanying them to the hospital. If there’s any problem, it’s convenient for you to stay there and care for them.”
Li Changjun looked at the team members who did not speak.
In an instant, a few of the team members were enlightened.
Through Chen Yu’s conversation with Jiang Damao, it wasn’t difficult for everyone to discern the hidden meaning behind his words.
After midnight, the female ghost, All Hong, might come for his life.
If they continued to stay here, once Jiang Damao shouted for help…
Should they save him or not?
If they didn’t save him, they would betray the clothes they were wearing.
If they saved him, they would be letting down their conscience.
Ah Hong had fallen into hell on earth since she was five years old. She had been bullied, humiliated, and betrayed for years.
Even though they had seen countless joys and sorrows in this world, it was also the first time they knew that a person could go through so much suffering.
On one side was their responsibility, and on the other was their conscience.
It was hard to choose. So, out of sight, out of mind.
After a short while, apart from Chen Yu’s group of three, the rest of the team members went to the hospital.
Li Changjun looked at the cement factory with a complicated gaze.
“Strange, so much time has passed; why hasn’t Jiang Damao run away?” Hearing Li Changjun’s muttering, Chen Yu sneered. “Before All Hong arrives, Jiang Damao can’t go anywhere.”
“Dr. Chen, you…?”
Pang Guang immediately understood Chen Yu’s meaning. He then extended his finger and made a hand gesture.
Chen Yu revealed a noncommittal smile.
Ah Hong should be here in about an hour.
Killing and dismembering were intolerable crimes.
If this were in ancient times, Chen Yu would have absolutely handed Jiang
Damao over to the government.
A thousand cuts was not just an idiom.
It also represented a form of punishment.
Once a person committed one of the three major crimes in ancient times, they would be dealt this punishment.
They were treason, betrayal, and crimes that included murder and dismembering corpses.
Time ticked by, and there were only five minutes left until midnight.
“Time to go in,” Chen Yu said as he took out his phone to check the time.
On the other side, in a room in the yard of the cement factory,
Jiang Damao, who was carrying his suitcase, felt as if his legs were filled with lead.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move them.
This situation had been going on for many hours.
Ever since he returned to his room to pack his things and was about to leave, he could not move his legs.
Whoosh…
Accompanied by gusts of strong wind, the initially tightly shut windows were all blown open!
The temperature in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.
A woman’s voice faintly sounded in Jiang Damao’s ears.
“Jiang Damao, it’s so cold down there…”
“Didn’t you say you loved me? Jiang Damao, can you come down and accompany me?”
The eerie female voice kept calling Jiang Damao’s name.
Jiang Damao’s lower body got wet and hot, and his urine flowed down his pants.
Ah Hong was here to take his life!
Jiang Damao wanted to close his eyes but realized he couldn’t move his legs.
He couldn’t close his eyes, either.
A woman with a good figure and a badly mutilated face slowly descended.
She stopped one meter away from Jiang Damao..
