Chapter 84 I might be about to make a mess of things.
Noticing the probing gaze that had been waiting for him, Shi Yang said to Ji Peiheng, "You'll know some things in a little while."
Even if she didn't say it, Ji Peiheng would definitely ask her about it today.
From her fear of the dark to the code Lu Qingqing received, and the bits and pieces he overheard, he learned about her.
He absolutely had to find out what had happened to her!
Shi Yang looked at him, her dark eyes gleaming with a long-suppressed fire about to burst forth: "Ji Peiheng, what if I cause trouble later?"
"I'm here."
Even if she turns the world upside down, he can still support her today.
"I'm here."
Shi Yang gently savored those three words, feeling an immense sense of fulfillment and peace within.
Now, she is no longer alone.
Or rather, she wasn't alone a long time ago!
...
In the lounge.
Shi Yue looked extremely hurt, tears streaming down her face, with a red and swollen mark around her neck.
"Ayu, I didn't do anything, why am I being treated like this? Just because I'm divorced and my husband died, does that mean I deserve to be looked down upon?"
Because her vocal cords were injured, her voice was still a little hoarse.
Ji Jinyu applied anti-swelling medicine to her: "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer this in vain. I will make Lu Qingqing apologize to you. If your vocal cords suffer any irreversible damage, I will make her pay the price."
"Never mind, Miss Lu is Yangyang's best friend, I don't want you to be resented by Yangyang."
“Such a brutal and vicious woman is a menace to Shi Yang.” He added, “For now, you should go back to your room and get some rest.”
"good."
As she left, Shi Yue grabbed his wrist, sobbing again: "Ayu, you will marry me, right?"
Ji Jinyu hesitated. In fact, he had planned to bring up the matter of breaking off the engagement while accompanying her on this trip.
However, seeing her pitiful appearance, he knew that now was not the time to bring it up, so he could only nod.
Shi Yue gave a sweet smile: "You're so nice."
Ji Jinyu felt increasingly lost.
He's actually not good at all.
Otherwise, why would I be worried about Shi Yang's condition while applying the medicine to her?
He knew she was afraid of the dark, and he also knew she wasn't feeling well right now.
But with Pei Heng by his side, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to visit him.
He sat in the chair and let out a deep sigh.
He doesn't even have the right to visit him now.
He was unwilling to admit it about his younger brother and sister-in-law.
"Ah—help—"
"Shi Yang—what are you doing?"
Two shrill cries in the corridor startled Ji Jinyu.
He immediately got up and ran towards the direction of the sound.
Then they saw Shi Yue being gently pulled by the hair and dragged along by Shi Yang and Lu.
Lu Qingqing would occasionally kick him a couple of times.
Xie Ran suddenly appeared and blocked his way: "Big brother, I have something to ask you. Let's go over there and talk."
Ji Jinyu just wanted to push him away.
Xie Ran clung to him like a leech, saying, "Brother, mind your own business. It's been a long time since we two brothers have had a proper get-together."
What a joke! His brother gave him a death order: he's going to stick to Ji Jinyu today and stop him at all costs.
As Shi Yue was dragged into the hot spring room, she bumped into the corner of the wall while being dragged.
Shi Yue cried out in pain.
The corridor had been prepared in advance, and the commotion didn't attract anyone's attention.
Ji Jinyu shouted anxiously, "Ji Peiheng! Are you just going to watch? Aren't you going to do anything about it?!"
Ji Peiheng stood lazily to the side, admiring the scene.
Upon hearing this, he lifted his eyelids and scoffed.
Shi Yue was dragged to the hot spring room and watched helplessly as Lu Qingqing took out a pair of scissors.
Shi Yang took it and cut a slit in her clothes, which Lu Qingqing ripped off cleanly and without hesitation.
Shi Yue screamed and covered her chest with both hands.
"Shi Yang, how dare you?"
"If you dare to do anything to me today, my family will not let you get away with it!"
"Tear—"
Clothes torn.
Countless hideous and terrifying wounds crisscrossed her body.
Shi Yue screamed and tried to block it, but there were too many scars to cover it up.
Lu Qingqing took out her phone with great interest to take pictures: "Oh my, look, tsk tsk tsk... I'll record this for Wen Wanwan. Isn't she the one who loves studying human skin the most?"
The flashes of the camera were like knives, slowly torturing Shi Yue.
"Ah—I won't let you get away with this!"
Shi Yang paused, tilting her head slightly. "You absolutely mustn't let me go, because—"
"I'm not going to let you off the hook today!"
"You... *gulp*..."
Lu gently kicked the naked woman into the hot spring pool.
Shi Yang jumped down and pressed down on her neck, letting her feel the suffocation in the water: "Is it very uncomfortable?"
"It's okay, you'll soon feel the despair of being on the verge of death with no one to turn to for help."
"What kind of feeling is that...?"
She pondered for a moment: "My heart is enveloped in a deathly darkness, my soul is trapped inside, unable to see any light. The boundless darkness is like an airtight net, tightening its grip until it suffocates my soul to death."
"Gulp gurgle..."
Shi Yue's hands gradually slowed down as she began to slap the water.
Just when she thought she was about to drown, she was lifted up.
After catching his breath, he was pushed back into the water.
The cycle repeats itself.
Shi Yang, numb and oblivious, repeatedly pressed down on her.
There was no reaction to the deep red marks on her arm from her struggles.
A tear rolled down the woman's cheek without her realizing it.
Shi Yang wiped away her tears and looked down at Shi Yue's desperate struggle: "I later realized that only I can overcome my own inner demons."
The deer gently called from the shore, "Yangyang, hold on a breath, we have important business to attend to."
Shi Yang loosened his grip.
Shi Yue lay on the shore like a dead fish, coughing violently.
...
Ji Jinyu sat in an empty room, with Xie Ran and Wen Huai'an sitting on either side of him.
Every time he made a movement, they would hold his shoulders and force him to sit down.
Not only that, his phone was also taken away.
Ji Jinyu could no longer contain herself: "What exactly do you want to do to A-Yue?"
When Wen Wanwan returned from outside, she gasped in shock: "That's too brutal."
She witnessed Shi Yue being tortured the whole time, and it gave her goosebumps.
She said, "Don't worry, brother, your wife is still alive."
Ji Jinyu: "..."
He still has a breath left, can I put his mind at ease?
Xie Ran couldn't sit still any longer; he also wanted to see what was going on: "Wanwan, you stay and talk to your brother for a while, I'll go take a look."
Wen Wanwan hopped and skipped down to sit: "Big brother, do you want to hear a joke? I'll tell you a joke so you won't be angry."
Ji Jinyu's temples throbbed twice, and she turned her head away.
Wen Huai'an said, "Wanwan, your brother is in a bad mood right now, don't add fuel to the fire."
"Nonsense, I only tried to comfort my brother because he was in a bad mood."
"Big brother, give me a smile, just one smile and I'll believe you're in a good mood... I won't tell any jokes..."
Just as Ji Jinyu was feeling anxious, the door was pushed open.
