Chapter 24 He panicked

Jian Mujin was trembling with pain on the ground when someone quickly drafted a divorce agreement and came over with a pen.

Long Tingwei forced her to sign.

Jian Mujin endured the pain and crawled over, grabbing a pen and writing a few scribbles.

After seeing her sign the divorce agreement, Long Tingwei immediately put it away and handed it to someone else.

"For every finger you break off, I'll break one of yours!"

Long Tingwei's chilling aura approached, and with a snap, he grabbed Jian Mujin's wrist.

Jian Mujin was in unbearable pain, barely having the strength to scream, and tears just kept flowing.

Finally, Jian Mujin lost feeling in all ten fingers, only feeling a burning sensation in the joints of both palms.

"Consider these two arms as interest. Don't worry, I won't kill you, but you'll have to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair!"

Long Tingwei stood up decisively and nimbly, and with two snaps, Jian Mujin's arms drooped down.

"Lock her up first, and only give her water for the first three days!"

Long Tingwei gave the indifferent instruction, took the divorce agreement, and prepared to sign his name as well.

The phone suddenly vibrated. Long Tingwei saw that it was Uncle Ming, so he put the unfinished divorce agreement aside and answered the call.

"Hey, Uncle Ming..."

Inside came the old man's loud cursing. After a long while, Long Tingwei felt dizzy and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest.

Did Ling Yuexue hire someone to kill him? Is the person who kidnapped him back then still alive? Was Ling Yuexue someone he sent to get close to him, and not the little girl who saved him back then?

Jian Mujin is the one!

At first, Long Tingwei didn't want to believe it. He had investigated for so long and felt that what happened to Ling Yuexue in the past matched what she said, so he believed her!

If Jian Mujin had said this, he wouldn't have believed it, but since the old man said it, he had his doubts. In any case, this matter definitely needed to be investigated thoroughly.

He went to Jian Mujin's village following the clues given by the old man, and before leaving, he sent someone to take Jian Mujin to the hospital.

He was fourteen years old when he was kidnapped by a man named Brother Hua. He was taken to several places before finally arriving at a village.

That man was involved in organized crime and had more than a dozen men under his command. After learning that he was the only son of the Long family, he set his sights on him.

His only goal was money, and the old man transferred money to him time and time again. Neither the man nor his men had any intention of letting him go.

At that time, he felt that he was doomed to die. If they hadn't tied him up so tightly and kept such a close watch on him, he might have been able to escape.

The man was very cautious. He knew that the old man would not stay still so obediently and would definitely call someone to rescue him. After getting almost enough money, he planned to secretly get rid of himself somewhere.

That little girl just appeared out of nowhere.

She was wearing two small chili peppers tied to her wrists and holding a fluffy pink pig in her hand. Suddenly, she popped out of the bushes, staring at him with wide eyes, her eyes filled with terror.

She originally wanted to escape, but something made her change her mind. Taking advantage of the group's inattention, she secretly untied the ropes binding him.

Later, she didn't know how she stole those people's pistols and some other things. She gave one to herself and hid another. She buried the rest in the ground.

He originally intended to run away with her, but the little girl said, "You run away quickly, I'm fine, I've learned martial arts!"

Her smile was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen in his life.

Those people were looking for food, leaving only two people to watch over him. They were probably asleep and didn't realize that someone had saved him and that he had successfully escaped.

Worried that the little girl might get hurt, he quietly hid somewhere to watch.

The girl seemed completely unafraid of those people, picking up two large lumps of mud from the ground and throwing them at the two men's faces.

The two people woke up and were both shocked and frightened to find themselves gone. The little girl appeared before them with a smug look on her face.

My heart was pounding in my chest at that moment, fearing that she would get hurt. Luckily, she stole their pistol.

What made him tremble even more was that the girl, facing the two bad guys, actually threw away her pistol and went forward to fight them with her bare hands.

Actually, the little girl is quite clever, but she doesn't seem to have received any formal training; she only knows how to find other people's weaknesses to attack.

She climbed onto one of them, scratching, biting, and even poking two fingers into his eyes before kicking him hard in the groin.

A grown man couldn't defeat a little girl. As he lay on the ground yelling, another man picked up a rock, ready to smash it down on her. He called out to her in alarm, and she dodged, causing the man to fall into a deep mud pit.

He breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take her with him away, but she shook her head and said she wanted to go find her grandfather.

Watching her skip and hop through the grass, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart. He knew he had made the right decision. If he could escape, he would cling to her for the rest of his life. She had saved his life, and he would repay her with his body!

A pink pig pendant lay on the ground; it belonged to the little girl. He picked it up, gently blew away the dust and dirt, then tucked it into his pocket and ran away when the group wasn't looking.

He was eventually rescued, and the police caught the group that had kidnapped him. It is said that the leader was sentenced to death.

He drove to that small village many times based on his memory, but he never found the girl.

He felt a little flustered, blaming himself for not asking her who she was, what her name was, and where she lived when he left.

Finally, by chance, he met Ling Yuexue, who told others about how she bravely rescued an older brother and chased away two bad guys when she was a child, which was exactly the same as the situation he had encountered at that time.

He tried to investigate, and eventually someone found out that she had also been to that small village, because her experience matched the truth he had encountered by more than 90 percent.

Therefore, he immediately concluded that Ling Yuexue was the little girl who saved him back then.

If the girl who saved him wasn't Ling Yuexue, but Jian Mujin, what happened to her after he left?

Are the scars on her neck and wrists really because of what Aunt Qiu said?

No, Jian Mujin doesn't even live in the same village as that Aunt Qiu, so she's clearly lying.

Jian Mujin lived in Huanshan Village, which was quite a distance from the small village she thought she lived in.

He drove to the village and found out who it was as soon as he asked around. He only asked if anyone knew a girl with scars on her neck and wrists, and the person immediately knew who it was.

When he asked about the scars on the girl's body, the man sighed deeply and told the whole truth about what happened back then.

For the first time, Long Tingwei felt his heart was in agony.
