Chapter 528: Hope for the best

Fan Tong crawled to the cell door, not caring about his miserable appearance. He grabbed the wooden fence with both hands, tears streaming down his face, and shouted at Shen Yuanze's back,

"Yuan Ze, my brother-in-law is here, I'm here, please rescue me quickly..."

Shen Yuanze was so itchy that he had no time to care about others. He hurried out of the prison as if he didn't hear anything.

Fan Tong stood there in a daze. It seemed like his brother-in-law didn't want to take care of him anymore. What a sin!

He's not really going to spend the rest of his life here, is he?

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. He couldn't help but burst into tears with his mouth wide open...

"Shut your stinky mouth. If you keep howling, I'll seal your mouth." The jailer was annoyed by Fan Tong's noise and warned him sternly.

Fan Tong was so frightened that he shut up instantly and quickly retreated to the corner of the cell.

Chen Zhanshan, Lin and Wu Cuihua watched Chen Qingqing being tied to the rack.

I thought it was just to deal with the inspection from the superiors, but when I heard that Shen Yuanze was going to torture Chen Qingqing, my heart suddenly tightened.

Lin wanted to rush out and take the punishment for Chen Qingqing. Her face was as pale as paper, her lips trembling uncontrollably, and she cursed under her teeth, "This dog official who takes human life lightly, he will not die a good death."

Wu Cuihua hurried forward to persuade her, "Mother, don't be impulsive. Shouting and cursing will only anger them and make Qing suffer a greater punishment."

Chen Zhanshan frowned and clenched his fists, "Xiumei, you need to calm down and listen to Cuihua. Don't cause trouble for Qing girl."

As he was speaking, Shen Yuanze pointed his finger at Xiao Wu again.

The sound of whipping was accompanied by Xiaowu's screams of pain.

It's terrifying and heartbreaking to hear, but there's nothing we can do...

It was not until Shen Yuanze left that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaowu was helped down from the rack by the jailer.

His face was pale and blood was oozing from the wounds on his body. He looked extremely miserable.

Chen Zhanshan asked with a worried look on his face, "Qing girl, is Xiaowu okay?"

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, I'll check him first." Chen Qingqing said as she half squatted down and began to check Xiaowu's wound.

Xiao Wu tried to cheer himself up and control his trembling body, putting on a forced smile and looking nonchalant.

"Boss, I withstood the torture of the dog official and didn't bring shame to you. I really didn't mean to cause trouble for Jishiditang. Boss, please forgive me this time."

Chen Qingqing shook her head and sighed, "I don't blame you for this. You were just being used. If we can get out alive this time, I hope you can be a down-to-earth person in the future, be more flexible in your thinking, and don't let others take advantage of you again."

"Thank you, boss. I will never dare to be greedy again."

"Okay, Xiaowu, don't talk for now. I'll apply medicine for you right away." After Chen Qingqing finished speaking, she started to activate the medical space and scanned Xiaowu's entire body.

Fortunately, after the space was upgraded, she could control it with her mind, and others just thought she was taking Xiaowu's pulse.

The whip wounds were so deep that the bones were visible and the lungs were injured. Shen Yuanze wanted to kill Xiaowu.

Fortunately, the jailer Sun stopped it in time, otherwise he would have been the one who got hurt.

With a thought, she reached into her sleeve and found a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine and a set of silver needles.

First, I fed Xiaowu some medicine, then I took out some silver needles and injected them into several important acupuncture points to relieve Xiaowu's pain...

Chen Qingqing secretly made a decision in her heart, Chen Ruolan, you are a sinister villain, I will never forgive you this time.

When Chen Dabao heard that the sugar factory had been confiscated and his uncle's family had been thrown into jail, he and Chen Zhanliang got on a horse-drawn carriage and hurried to Anyang Prison.

I want Chen Qingqing to help me make a decision. What should I do next?

But when they arrived at the prison gate, the jailer said that the county magistrate was interrogating Chen Qingqing and would not even let them stay at the door.

There was no other way, so the two of them had to go around the corner and stare intently at the prison door.

From time to time, faint screams could be heard from the cell. Dabao's face was filled with anxiety, worrying about Chen Qingqing's safety.

Chen Zhanliang's heart was in his throat. "Dabao, is your sister Qingqing being tortured in there? She was beaten so badly."

"Dad, don't worry. The voice sounds like a man, so it shouldn't be my sister Qingqing. Let's wait a little longer. After the county magistrate leaves, we can find a way to go in and see my sister Qingqing."

Chen Zhanliang frowned and was about to speak when he saw the prison door creak open slowly. A man hurried out from inside, scratching his body all over as he walked, with a painful expression on his face.

"Dabao, look, there's someone coming out."

Chen Dabao gritted his teeth and cursed softly, "This incompetent official!"

"Dabao, can we go in and see your sister Qingqing now?"

"Dad, let's go over and take a look. We should be able to get in."

After saying this, Dabao walked to the prison gate, explained his purpose to the jailer, and slipped him a few taels of silver without leaving any trace.

The jailer held the silver in his hand, grinning from ear to ear, and let the two men in without saying a word.

At this time, Sun the jailer felt a little guilty that he had accepted so much money from Chen Qingqing but failed to protect her.

His face was filled with helplessness. "Miss Chen, I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect Shen Yuanze to do it himself. If he were one of my jailers, he definitely wouldn't have beaten Xiao Wu like this."

"Yes, Miss Chen, when we practice whipping, we usually control the strength well.

Each whip strike looked heavy, but in fact, it did not injure the bones or muscles, it was just a superficial injury that would heal on its own in a few days.

But Shen Yuanze's move was fatal, so this young man's injuries were so severe." The jailer beside him also hurriedly explained.

Chen Qingqing sighed softly, "You don't need to explain, they are targeting me, it has nothing to do with you."

Prisoner Sun couldn't help but frown. Even if she was sensible, what could she do? As long as Qin Shousheng was thinking about her, she would never be able to leave this prison.

Thinking that Chen Qingqing was going to be killed by them, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but he was just a small prison boss and couldn't change anything at all.

Prisoner Sun sighed imperceptibly, "Miss Chen is truly understanding, but I still want to advise you: if you don't want to suffer, you'd better sign and seal the agreement immediately. Otherwise, we won't be able to protect you every time."

Chen Qingqing looked at him gratefully and shook her head. "Prisoner Sun, I appreciate your kindness, but I won't compromise."

"Well, in that case, Miss Chen, just wish you the best!"

"I will definitely not let those people succeed in their conspiracy." Chen Qingqing's face was full of indignation...
