Chapter 111: The pitiful side of hateful people

Xie Yingmian was not surprised by this answer.

Zhang Laowu is ugly, but Linglong is beautiful like a flower.

Judging from the genetic characteristics alone, these two people clearly do not conform to genetics.

Linglong's voice echoed in the dark passage:

"They all thought I had no memory, that I didn't remember what happened before."

"I really don't remember what my parents look like, my own name, or where my home is."

"All I remember is that there were so many red lanterns on the street that day. I excitedly broke free from my mother's arms and ran to the lanterns. Suddenly, a lot of people rushed over and I was squeezed out."

"When I was crying and looking for my mother, I was deceived by Zhang Laowu's mother."

"I was tricked into a strange place and kept crying and making a fuss looking for my mother."

"Zhang Laowu's mother was furious and locked me in the cellar."

"She kept me locked up for seven days."

"For seven days I lay in a dark cellar, gnawed by rats, starved, and terrified, and I had a high fever."

"It was that high fever that made me forget a lot of things, my parents, myself, but I always remember that I was abducted."

"During the years I was abducted, I worked like a slave in the Zhang family. I was often beaten and scolded, and went hungry. They didn't treat me like a human being."

Linglong laughed at herself and said, "Later, I was lucky enough to be noticed by the leader of the Goshawk Gang."

"The gang leader wants me to be his concubine."

"I knew this was my only chance to escape the Zhang family, so I used all my skills to become the gang leader's favorite woman."

"I'm very vicious. I've done a lot of vicious things, framing and persecuting others. I've even killed quite a few. It's no exaggeration to say I'm an unforgivable criminal."

"People like me deserve to go to hell. I know I will not die a good death."

"But I won't give up."

"If possible, I want to find my biological parents. I want to see them once before going to hell to atone for my sins."

"So, I can't die."

"At least I can't die now."

"Hahaha, isn't that ridiculous?"

"I am a heinous person who has done so many evil things and has blood on my hands, yet I still dream of finding my biological parents one day."

Linglong was smiling, but tears were streaming down her face.

This was the first time she spoke her true feelings in the twenty years since she was abducted.

The emotions that had been pent up in my heart for many years burst out.

Her laughter gradually turned into low sobs.

The soft sobs turned into bursts of tears.

In the dark and gloomy passage, she cried hysterically.

After crying for a long time, she was tired.

I cried so hard that I couldn't stop for a while.

She sobbed and said, "If I hadn't broken free from my mother that day, if I hadn't been naughty and gone to see the lanterns, if I hadn't been kidnapped."

"Maybe I won't become a wicked scumbag."

"I've had countless dreams of huge red lanterns. I was lost among them. A gentle voice called me. I walked towards the voice and saw my mother."

"The further I went, the further she went."

"In my dream, I ran and chased her desperately, but I could never catch up with her. I could only sit on the ground helplessly and cry."

"Sometimes I dream that I find my parents and they accuse me of running away and tell me that I deserve it."

"Every time I woke up from the dream, I couldn't help crying."

“Finding them has become my obsession.”

"...I'm sorry, I lost control a little and made you laugh."

Xie Yingmian didn't say anything.

Even hateful people have their pitiful side.

There is no such thing as empathy in this world.

She couldn't put herself in Linglong's shoes.

Having not experienced other people's suffering, she has no right to judge whether Linglong's behavior is right or wrong.

After Linglong vented her emotions, she gradually calmed down.

The two walked forward quietly.

I don’t know how long I walked.

Faintly, there was a voice coming from somewhere.

"We'll be at the hideout soon." Linglong tidied her appearance.

"Miss Xie, try not to speak for a while, lower your head so they don't see your face clearly, and I'll take care of the rest."

There is a door at the end of the secret passage.

Open the door and you'll see a room.

There were four or five strong men sitting in the room.

It was a very cold day, but the strong men were half-naked, gathered around a fire, warming themselves by the fire while drinking and eating meat.

I heard some movement in the secret passage.

They all looked over.

Look carefully, the person coming is Linglong.

The strong men stood up and said, "Mrs. Linglong, why are you here?"

"What's wrong with your face?"

"Who is this woman behind?"

"Why is she still holding a dead person?"

The strong men asked questions in unison.

Linglong sighed: "What else can I do?"

"The one behind is my little maid, and the little bitch she's holding is also the gang leader's woman."

"The little bitch tried to step on me and even started a fight with me."

Linglong pointed at her face and hands: "Did you see it?"

"The wounds on my face and hands were caused by this bitch. Her teeth are so sharp, like dog teeth. She kept biting me and kept irritating me."

"I taught her a lesson in anger."

"I accidentally overdid it and she's almost dead. I'm afraid the gang leader will blame me if she dies, so I'm bringing her out to see a doctor right away."

Linglong took off the gold bracelet on her wrist and gave one to each of them.

"Thank you brothers for your hard work."

"You must keep this secret for me. When I bring this little bitch back to life, there will be a handsome reward. Please."

The strong men weighed the gold bracelet.

The gold bracelet is heavy, weighing almost one or two taels.

One tael of gold is worth ten taels, and ten taels of silver is also a small sum of money.

The gang leader has many women, and Madam Linglong is the most favored.

Mrs. Linglong is often jealous of the gang leader.

They didn't doubt Linglong's words.

"It's a small matter. Leave it to us."

"Madam Linglong, please come this way."

The strong men took Linglong and Xie Yingmian to the exit.

The exit is a gambling house.

The gambling house was bustling with people.

Linglong took Xie Yingmian out of the gambling house and quickly blended into the crowd.

After safely leaving the sphere of influence of the Goshawk Gang, Linglong felt a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.

"Thank you, Miss. I have brought you out safely. It's time for you to fulfill your promise..."

"Do you still want to go back?" Xie Yingmian asked.

Linglong was silent.

Xie Yingmian asked, "When you went to change your clothes, you took all the money with you, right?"

Linglong felt a little uncomfortable: "How did you know?"

Xie Yingmian said, "No matter how high-profile a person is, they won't wear six gold hairpins on their head."

"You are a smart person. You know that the identity of the woman in the secret room is unusual. The leader of the Goshawk Gang will soon realize that something is wrong in the study, and he will soon trace it back to you."

"If you return to the Goshawk Gang, you will die."

"So, you used the excuse of changing clothes to take all the valuables you could. You never intended to go back from the beginning."

Linglong was exposed and no longer hid it.

What Xie Yingmian said was exactly what she was thinking.

While changing clothes, she took all the money and jewelry she could carry.

After her treatment is completed, she will leave Shangjing as quickly as possible and find a remote place to hide her identity and avoid the spotlight.
