The old man stared at Shen Yizhou in shock, then his eyes flashed with ferocity. "You little brat! How dare you slap my mouth!"

A fierce curse erupted in the corridor, and the men around the old man joined in the cursing.

Shen Yizhou shielded He Tiantian behind him. The boss, hearing the noise, sensed something was wrong. He quickly walked to the corridor and almost fainted when he saw the scene before him.

A group of middle-aged men and women surrounded Shen Yizhou and He Tiantian. He rushed forward and pushed the villagers away, saying, "You promised me you wouldn't cause trouble! All of you, get upstairs!"

The villagers spat in the boss's face and glared fiercely at Shen Yizhou, as if they wanted to devour him.

The boss helplessly wiped the drool off his face. "You two should try to avoid them these next few days. These villagers have no manners whatsoever."

After finishing his speech, the boss returned to the front desk. Tonight was likely to be a sleepless night; he had to personally oversee things at the front desk.

These villagers always cause trouble every time they come, and calling the police is useless; the police say they can't control these brutes.

He Tiantian grabbed Shen Yizhou's hand in fear. It was the first time she had felt this kind of fear. These villagers were really terrifying.

The two returned to their room, and He Tiantian sat on the bed, patting her chest repeatedly. She was really panicking and felt like she was going to be killed by these villagers.

Shen Yizhou squatted down in front of her and grabbed her hand. "Don't be afraid, I'm here, they can't hurt you."

He Tiantian looked into Shen Yizhou's eyes. His words were powerful, and the fear in her heart almost dissipated.

The villagers came to the hot spring pool. Three or four young women were soaking in the milk and rose pool, their laughter melodious and pleasant.

The villagers who heard this were itching to try it out. They sneaked over to the edge of the pond and looked at the young girls in the water. The old man at the front rolled his eyes. He had never tried city girls before.

He pulled his companion aside, "Are you going to go or not?"

"We have nine people, and four of them are girls. How are we supposed to divide it among them?"

"Wang Qing, you're really stupid! It would have been better if we took turns!"

"Tie them up on the back mountain, and that will do the job. The oldest go first, and the younger ones guard them."

After the nine villagers had decided on one of the girls, four of them walked up to the four girls and greeted them in a lewd manner.

The four girls looked at them with some fear. Just as they were about to cry for help, five villagers rushed out from behind and covered the mouths of the four girls.

The villagers couldn't bear it any longer and slammed the girls' heads against the edge of the pool. Blood gushed from the foreheads of the four girls, and they fainted.

The villagers took turns participating in the activity in the village, round after round. The villagers on duty would pull up the screen and sit outside chatting.

They took turns going in like that.

Nine villagers pulled back the screen, hurriedly stepped out of the bath, and sat down in the large pool on the other side.

Four pale-faced girls leaned against the edge of the pool. It was already late at night when they came to their senses.

The four girls hugged each other and sobbed softly. Back in their room, they hesitated about whether to call the police. One of the older girls took out her phone and called the police.

After several attempts to call 110 (the police emergency number), the calls were repeatedly disconnected. In despair, they sat in their room, taking turns going into the bathroom to wash themselves clean.

late at night.

The villagers were talking loudly in the corridor. Startled, He Tiantian sat up and peered through the door to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Hahaha, those four girls tonight, they really gave me a blast!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, look how happy you are."

"I've actually tried this kind of stuff."

If your wife finds out, she'll throw another huge tantrum!

"Go away, all of you, stop jinxing!"

They were laughing and talking in the corridor. He Tiantian covered her mouth as she listened, unable to believe what she was hearing.

Were four girls caught in the crossfire...?

Shen Yizhou heard everything clearly. He helped He Tiantian up from where she had fallen to the ground. "Don't listen, don't think about it. They can't harm you."

He helped He Tiantian back to bed. Tears were already welling up in her eyes. For the first time, she desperately wanted to leave this place.

"Shen Yizhou, can we find the murderer quickly? If we stay any longer, I'll have an emotional breakdown."

Shen Yizhou nodded, holding He Tiantian in his arms to comfort her. He hadn't expected these villagers to be so arrogant; they were simply lawless.

He Tiantian barely slept all night, only closing her eyes to sleep when dawn broke. She had been thinking about this matter all night.

Shen Yizhou woke up around nine o'clock in the morning. He covered He Tiantian with a blanket and went out. He went to the front desk to find the boss again.

I happened to overhear the boss talking to his wife.

"Honey, my gold necklace is gone!"

"Which one? The one I bought for you before the New Year?"

"No! It's the one we ordered from the city! It has the character 'Ting' written on it."

"If they're all gone, we'll just buy another one! You'd better go back to your room and don't come out for the next few days. I'll have someone deliver food to you; those disgusting villagers have come to the store."

The woman was so frightened that she didn't say a word and hurriedly ran back upstairs. Shen Yizhou wanted to tell the boss that he had picked up a cat and try to get information out of him, but he didn't expect that the boss would find out by chance.

He put the necklace back in his pocket. The necklace didn't belong to the pregnant woman; it originally belonged to the boss's wife. So his wife knew about the pregnant woman and had a conflict with her.

So the faint marks on the pregnant woman's neck were caused by his wife pinching her?

While it was still early, he followed his memory to the place where the pregnant woman had been buried. He was shocked to see that the pregnant woman's body was gone, leaving only a large pit.
