"Big brother... stop hitting me, it's me... Youcai!" Guo Youcai was beaten black and blue, trembling, his eyes filled with fear as he waved his hands and begged Qin Zheng for mercy.
Qin Zheng grabbed his collar and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why are you running away!"
Guo Youcai was startled by his roar, his eyes darting around as if trying to think of a way to escape. Suddenly, Qin Zheng slapped him hard across the face, yelling, "Tell me! Why are you running away!"
"I...I..."
Guo Youcai was so startled by the blow that he couldn't speak.
He was thinking of rescuing Ye Yun!
Ye Yun and Qin Zheng refused to find him a job, so he had no choice but to come up with this idea.
Their plan was to knock Ye Yun unconscious and hide her, pretending that she had been kidnapped by a murderer. Then, when Qin Zheng frantically went to look for her, they would pretend to rescue Ye Yun. Qin Zheng would definitely be grateful to them, and then their job would be secured.
But who knew that Ye Yun's disappearance would cause such a big fuss!
Even the village chief was alarmed.
He originally intended to lock Ye Yun up until nightfall, but now he realized that wouldn't work. Before nightfall, Qin Zheng and his men would probably tear this mountain apart.
So he thought he should hurry up the mountain to rescue Ye Yun, and at least get a good reputation.
To his surprise, Qin Zheng stopped him before he could even go up.
Guo Youcai dared not tell Qin Zheng that he had hidden Ye Yun, and only said, "Brother, I went to find my sister-in-law. I heard that she has disappeared..."
"You're talking nonsense! If you were going to find my wife, why are you running away!"
With a loud slap, Qin Zheng delivered another powerful blow to Guo Youcai's face, instantly making Guo Youcai dizzy and on the verge of fainting.
"Brother Zheng, who is this?"
Erdanzi caught up, panting, and when he saw Guo Youcai lying on the ground, he opened his mouth wide in surprise. "Isn't this the Guo family from the east? Brother Zhengzi, I saw him and his second brother strolling around your house this morning!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Zheng's face instantly darkened.
"Guo Youcai, you've really made something of yourself!" Qin Zheng still didn't understand, and slapped Guo Youcai hard across the face again.
With a loud slap, Guo Youcai's cheek swelled up to the size of a steamed bun.
Erdanzi clicked his tongue, "Brother Zhengzi, don't just focus on hitting one side, hit him evenly, otherwise it'll look ugly!"
Qin Zheng shot him a cold glare.
Erdanzi shut his mouth and didn't say a word.
"Brother, big brother..." Guo Youcai's face turned purple as Qin Zheng choked him.
At this moment, he had been beaten so badly by Qin Zheng that blood was flowing from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth.
But Qin Zheng was still furious. He grabbed Guo Youcai by the neck and demanded, "Tell me! Where's my wife?!"
"I...I don't know..."
Guo Youcai still tried to argue his way out.
However, the next second, a loud slap landed on his face again. Qin Zheng said fiercely, "If you don't tell the truth, do you believe I'll leave your life here!"
Erdanzi also said in a nonchalant tone, "Guo Youcai, don't blame me for not warning you, there's a ditch nearby. If Brother Zheng beats you to death and throws you into the ditch, no one will know."
Guo Youcai was so frightened that he started trembling all over.
Qin Zheng no longer held back, clenching his fist as he prepared to strike—
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Seeing that Qin Zheng was serious, Guo Youcai quickly begged for forgiveness and honestly confessed, "It was me! Big brother, I had no choice but to help you find a job if you wouldn't agree to help me! I thought I'd hide my sister-in-law first, and then go rescue her. If I became her savior, you'd be grateful and help me find a job! I didn't do it on purpose! I really didn't do it on purpose! I just hid my sister-in-law! It was all Mother's idea!"
Qin Zheng's eyes reddened at this moment.
"Damn it!" He was furious and slapped Guo Youcai hard across the face again.
*Smack!* Guo Youcai's head swayed back, looking utterly defeated.
The cries of pain have stopped.
"Guo Youcai, you're really something!" Erdanzi said with a look of disgust, kicking Guo Youcai in the crotch.
Guo Youcai instantly clutched his crotch in pain, his eyes reddening with rage.
Before Guo Youcai could catch his breath, Qin Zheng grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground, then kicked him in the backside. "Kid, I'm warning you, if anything happens to my wife, I won't let you off the hook! Hurry up and take me to my wife!"
"That's right! Take us to find your sister-in-law!"
Erdanzi also kicked him. He had never gotten along with the kids from Dongda Brigade since he was a child. How could he not take advantage of the situation?
Guo Youcai, unable to express his suffering, weakly glanced in a direction and said, "That..."
Qin Zheng glanced in the direction he was looking, gave Erdanzi a wink, and the two of them, one on each side, carried Guo Youcai in the direction he pointed.
Further in, there is a cave that the mountain people dug out to take shelter from the rain.
If Qin Zheng wasn't mistaken, Guo Youcai must have hidden Ye Yun in that cave.
Sure enough, Guo Youcai pointed the way and led them into a cave. The light inside the cave was not very good. Qin Zheng threw Guo Youcai to Erdanzi and rushed in.
But then a tricky situation arose!
Ye Yun is not in the cave!
The cave was empty and dark, with only a pile of straw inside. There was no trace of Ye Yun at all!
"Impossible, impossible!!"
Guo Youcai, who came in later, saw this scene and, in a panic, threw himself onto the pile of straw, clutching it and crying out in terror, "Brother! I clearly hid my sister-in-law here!"
Qin Zheng's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked him hard.
He suddenly bent down and grabbed Guo Youcai by the neck, his eyes turning bloodshot with rage. "Guo Youcai! If anything happens to my wife, I'll take your dog's life!"
"Brother Zheng, what do we do now?" Erdanzi sensed something was wrong and anxiously came over.
What to do?
What else can we do?
Qin Zheng's eyes were unusually red. He suddenly shoved Guo Youcai aside and turned to run outside.
What else can we do?
"Find them! We must find them!"
...
In the dark and damp cave, Ye Yun woke up groggily, a dull pain shooting through the back of her neck. As she moved, the hands bound behind her back startled her.
She remembered that she had simply gone to water the vegetable garden in front of her house...
"woke up?"
Just then, a loud, hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the dim light not far away, startling her so much that she trembled.
A blurry figure slowly emerged from the shadows opposite.
"Tsk... I'm really lucky to have found such a delicate and tender young lady like you."
The man approached her step by step, and a powerful aura of danger gradually enveloped Ye Yun.
He looked to be in his forties, about 1.7 meters tall, with a fat face full of wrinkles, and the most striking feature was a huge mole on his face... a mole!
Ye Yun stared in horror at the man who was still approaching, her fear reaching its peak.
This is the serial killer Qin Zheng was talking about!
