Chapter 171 Jinjiang Debut

“Dead…dead?”

"You mean, my brother is dead?"

Jiang Xiaoping's body collapsed instantly, and she couldn't sit still. She slid off the chair and fell to the ground. Bai Mian wanted to say something, but Jiang Xiaoping covered her ears and screamed:

"I don't believe it! You are all lying to me! From the moment I walked in, I didn't believe a word you said! You are just a charlatan, you have no real ability at all! You said all this just to cheat me of my money. My brother is a strong man, how could he die?"

Bai Mian silently closed his mouth and let her vent her emotions. Although what she said was excessive, Bai Mian did not bother with her because she was completely mentally broken.

Jiang Xiaoping screamed first, then covered her face and cried. No one around dared to persuade her. Bai Mian picked up the little white rabbit on the table and combed its fur with his slender fingers. After a long while, Jiang Xiaoping finally calmed down. Bai Mian said:

"If you don't believe me, you can choose to leave. This divination ends here."

Jiang Xiaoping calmed down and apologized to Bai Mian: "No, Master, I was just outspoken. It's not that I don't believe you, but this happened too suddenly. I really can't accept it. Besides, there are still many doubts. For example, you said that my brother was kidnapped by people from Country Y. Generally, people from Country Y would ask for money from the hostage's family after kidnapping the hostage. Why didn't I receive any calls from them?"

Xia Mang also echoed: "Killing people for no money is indeed not in line with the style of the Y country people."

Bai Mian said slowly, "Your brother followed Wang Erlai out to sea and drifted on the sea for several days and nights. He and his companions were full of hope, thinking that they would be able to buy a wife after landing. But as soon as the boat docked, a group of burly men surrounded them, and Wang Erlai also fled. The group of people immediately realized that they had been cheated."

"The group of people reacted in different ways. Some wanted to drive the boat away, but it was already locked. Some wanted to fight with the kidnappers on the shore, but they knocked them unconscious with an electric baton. Some even knelt down and begged for mercy on the spot, but of course, it had no effect. Your brother's reaction was different from theirs. He could swim, so he turned around and jumped into the sea, trying to swim away."

"That group of people immediately sent people to chase him by boat. Of course, your brother couldn't keep up with their speed, so he was eventually caught on the boat. During the time he was swimming, his phone was soaked in water and couldn't be turned on. So the Y country people couldn't read his address book, nor could they contact the people he knew."

"But even if the phone is broken, my brother knows my phone number!" Jiang Xiaoping said anxiously, "I am his only relative. He can memorize my phone number. Even if he can't contact others, at least the kidnappers should be able to contact me and let me know where my brother is..."

Jiang Xiaoping fell silent after saying this. What could she do even if she knew? At that time, she was just a senior high school student preparing for the college entrance examination. She had neither money nor connections, so she could not help her brother at all. She could only watch her brother die.

"He did remember your phone number, but he lied that he didn't remember it because he didn't want those people to threaten you," Bai Mian said gently, "From the moment he was captured by the Y countrymen, he knew that he couldn't go back. He didn't want to implicate you, not to mention that you are just a student and can't do anything."

"He lived in Country Y for four months, during which he suffered inhuman torture. I don't need to elaborate on those methods, as you can probably guess them. But no matter how cruelly he was treated, he never told me your contact information. In this sense, he is indeed a good brother."

"elder brother……"

Jiang Xiaoping, who had been calm, burst into tears again after hearing this.

Bai Mian continued, "When the group saw that your brother refused to give up his family's contact information, they gradually gave up on him. In addition, Wang Erlai, the human trafficker, told them about your brother's past. They realized that they couldn't get much money out of your brother, so they changed their strategy - they decided to sell your brother's organs."

Jiang Xiaoping screamed again: "Stop talking, I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear it!"

Bai Mian sighed calmly: "Although it is cruel, you have to face the reality. After all, you came to me just to hear the truth about your brother's disappearance. Even if I don't tell you these words, the police will tell you."

"In Country Y, every organ in a person's body has a corresponding value. Even if they become corpses, they can still be sold for money. Their bones will be ground into powder. From the moment they set foot in Country Y, your brother's fate was sealed."

"Take a closer look at this photo," Bai Mian pointed at the photo in Jiang Xiaoping's hand, "In fact, the photo has already told you a lot of information, but you just didn't see it."

Bai Mian's finger gently slid across the center of the photo. "Your brother is not wearing ordinary white clothes, but surgical gowns from Country Y. He just got off the operating table. The bed he is lying on is not a normal bed, but a rusty iron bed. No hospital in the world will let a patient lie on such a bed. After all, there is a risk of postoperative infection, unless the patient has already lost vital signs."

"This photo is very dark, obviously taken in a very dark place. The floor next to the bed is also dirty, and it looks like no one has ever cleaned it. There is no light in this room, and there is no need to clean it because the person lying inside will never wake up - this is the morgue in the park."

"So, when this photo was taken, your brother had just been pushed off the operating table. He lost his vital signs during the operation. He was no longer of any use to Country Y. They placed his body here like garbage, waiting for the body recyclers to take it away. At the last moment, they took this photo and announced that this 'goods' had been completely 'delivered'."

"…What surgery?"

Jiang Xiaoping asked while sobbing. She already knew the answer but she still wanted to ask again.

"Kidney transplant surgery," Bai Mian poked Bai Tu's belly, "They made your brother undergo liver transplant surgery, spinal cord transplant surgery, cornea transplant surgery, lung transplant surgery, and finally, kidney transplant surgery."

"They performed multiple transplant operations on your brother in just four months, completely disregarding his physical condition. As long as the match was suitable, they would start the operation. In the last kidney transplant operation, the surgeon removed both of your brother's kidneys. He bled too much during the operation and died soon after."

"This photo only shows his chest, not below, because if you shoot further down, you will see that his abdomen is completely collapsed and his internal organs have been removed."

Xia Mang sucked in a breath of cold air: "Hiss, it turns out that the rumor about cutting kidneys is true, my god, it hurts just to hear it! They treat people more cruelly than animals, they can kill pigs with one knife, but this group of people performed operations on the hostages over and over again, and one of the operations was to remove his cornea. How desperate he must be, a person who can't see anything, quietly waiting to die in the cell..."

Jiang Xiaoping's emotions broke down again. People around her were trying to comfort her, but Lu Xue said ruthlessly, "Don't forget, he was planning to kidnap an innocent woman from the beginning. Although Wang Erlai is abominable, it was Jiang Qingyun who first wanted to harm others. He has evil intentions, and he deserves this fate."

Jiang Xiaoping had no time to refute Lu Xue's words. She tried to recall Bai Mian's words over and over again in her mind, trying to find something unreasonable in them:

"Master Bai, if it's true as you said, that my brother is already dead, then why did Wang Erlai's son come out and say those things to me? He clearly said that my brother is not dead. He said that everyone else is dead, but my brother is not dead. My brother is just suffering. If he can be rescued in time, then my brother can live!"

Bai Mian blinked, her long eyelashes wagging: "Because, this scam is not over yet, they still want to hook you, the mermaid."

"Me?" Jiang Xiaoping hesitated for a moment, then quickly understood what Bai Mian meant. "You mean, Wang Erlai wants to lure me to Country Y as well and use me to make some more money?"

Bai Mian nodded: "That's right, when you went to his house, Wang Erlai was afraid of trouble, so he made up a story about a mermaid to fool you. You didn't dare to confront him head-on, so you cried for a while and then left."

"After you left, Wang Erlai looked at your back and suddenly had a bold idea. You are a young and beautiful female student. If you can be sold to Country Y, you will definitely make a lot of money. Moreover, you cried in front of him. He thought you were weak and easy to deceive. In addition, your parents died and no one would come to investigate if you disappeared. If you could make them disappear, no one would come to ask about Jiang Qingyun. He would have one less trouble. After considering all these, he decided to take action against you."

"But he couldn't come forward himself. Through the conversation just now, he could see that you didn't believe him. No matter how much he said, you wouldn't go on the boat with him, so he sent his son to come forward. The little boy has a quick memory and soon memorized the words his father taught him. Wang Erlai gave the photo of your brother's body to the youngest son and then arranged for the son to go out."

"After you walked a distance, the little boy followed you silently. He followed you very closely on purpose, waiting for you to notice him. Then he pulled you aside to talk to him, and told you exactly what his father had taught you. He also showed you the photo."

"He said that everyone else was dead, and only your brother was still alive, and that your brother was already very weak. This was a psychological tactic. They deliberately created a sense of urgency in you, making you feel that you had to act immediately. If you were an impulsive person and really hid on Wang Erlai's boat and went out to sea with him, then you would have fallen into his trap. Once you were at sea, you would be completely controlled by him."

After hearing Bai Mian's words, everyone gasped. Xia Mang gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that this little boy is not a good person either. This family is a bunch of bad guys!"

To everyone's surprise, this time Jiang Xiaoping did not cry or make a fuss. She sat cross-legged on the ground, alone and silent for a very long time, so long that it scared everyone. Xia Mang bravely went over and pushed her:

"Hey, why do you look like you're out of your body? Don't scare us!"

Jiang Xiaoping raised her head and smiled at Xia Mang: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I just need time to accept this reality."

After that, she stood up, paid the pulse diagnosis fee readily, and then said to Bai Mian: "Master, thank you for telling me this. I have been living in pain for a while. I ran around everywhere to ask around, just to know the whereabouts of my brother, whether he is alive or dead, at least I have a bottom line in my heart. Now I know the truth, the knot in my heart has been untied, I have given up, I will not look for my brother again, Master Bai, thank you."

Jiang Xiaoping turned around and was about to leave. Xia Mang couldn't help but ask, "Are you just going to let it go? Aren't you going to call the police?"

Jiang Xiaoping smiled and said, "I will go, but my home is not in Qingshui Town. Of course I will go back to my hometown to find the local police."

Although her answer was normal, the expression on her face was too calm, so calm that it was scary. Even her smile was a little creepy.
