Chapter 144 The Truth About Imprisonment
Shi Yang's heart leaped into her throat.
She heard the cleaning lady exclaim, "Oh dear!" and then say, "I really don't have the key to the bedroom door."
Before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard her say, "How about this, wait for me, I'll go downstairs and get it from the manager."
"Okay, thank you." Liang Jin said politely.
The moment the cleaning lady left, Liang Jin couldn't keep up his act any longer and kicked the door: "Open the door!"
"Shi Yang! Open the door!"
Shi Yang ignored him and, with trembling fingertips, dialed the number he knew by heart.
She was almost in tears when she said, "Ji Peiheng, something's happened to me. Someone's trying to hurt me."
There was a moment of silence on the other end, then a voice quickly replied: "Where are you?"
"I was on the second floor of the banquet hall, and Liang Jin tried to hurt me. I hid in a room, but someone was about to open the door. I... I've also been drugged, I'm about to..."
Before she could finish speaking, the bedroom door was opened.
"Yangyang? Shi Yang?"
The bathroom was made of semi-transparent glass, and she could vaguely see Liang Jin's figure, and Liang Jin could naturally see her as well.
Shi Yang's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Ji Peiheng, he's coming in, he's coming in."
The bathroom is enclosed by semi-transparent glass, so even if it's locked from the inside, you can break the glass to get in.
Now that things have come to this, Liang Jin is no longer in a hurry. He slowly sits down on the bed and looks at Shi Yang as if she were a trapped beast struggling: "Are you particularly curious about what kind of relationship I have with Ji Peiheng? I bet he has never told you any of this."
"In the end, it's all because of you."
"Liang Qiuhua!" Ji Peiheng's forceful voice came from the phone.
Liang Jin didn't notice that Shi Yang's phone was still lit up.
He laughed heartily: "Shi Yang, I also have another name, Liang Qiuhua. I wonder if you are familiar with it?"
The name made Shi Yang's trembling shoulders freeze instantly.
In high school, there was a notorious troublemaker named Liang Qiuhua. The reason she remembered him was because he had harassed her.
During her second year of high school, she was cornered at the school gate by this thug several times. Once, Ji Jinyu ran into them. In order to protect her, Ji Jinyu was beaten so badly that he was covered in blood and couldn't even get up. Because of that incident, she always felt indebted to Ji Jinyu.
He then said, "You probably don't know this, but after the eldest son of the Ji family stood up for you, the second son of the Ji family came to me the next day and we got into a fight. He's tougher than his brother. There were five of us against him, and he was still able to stand up. Not only that, he even blinded one of my eyes!"
He would never forget how Ji Peiheng, his head bleeding profusely, shoved a sharp iron rod into his eye. He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth: "Stay away from Shi Yang. This time it's your eye. Next time, it'll be your head!"
At that moment, he even forgot the pain. He did not deny that Ji Peiheng wanted to kill him at that moment. If the police had not arrived, he would have lost his other eye as well.
Thinking of this, Liang Jin flew into a rage again, kicking the glass repeatedly...
A pane of glass shattered into a spiderweb pattern, sending countless tiny shards flying and striking her body, leaving streaks of blood.
"Shi Yang, tell me, should I seek revenge on you? Do you know what kind of life I've lived all these years since I lost my sight? I could only wear prosthetic glasses. Even after I heard that Ji Peiheng actually married you, my hatred hasn't disappeared at all. You've ruined me like this, and you can still live happily ever after?"
“I changed my name and even had plastic surgery, all to come back for revenge, to find an opportunity to destroy Ji Peiheng.”
The flying shards cut Shi Yang, and the pain brought her back to her senses: "Even if you succeed today, you won't have a good ending."
"Of course I know I won't have a good ending. If I humiliate you, Ji Peiheng will go crazy, he'll kill me, right? I don't care, as long as I can see you suffer... Hahaha..."
The murderer is not scary; what is scary is a murderer who is completely irrational, who doesn't care about the consequences, and who won't stop until he achieves his goal.
"Even if I have to go to hell, I'll drag you all down with me!"
Crackling sounds...
The surrounding glass could no longer withstand the pressure, and the cracks spread rapidly like a spider web before shattering under Liang Jin's final kick.
Shi Yang quickly retreated to the corner, but she was still scratched. She could only try her best to protect her face.
Cough cough cough...
Only after all the glass had shattered did Liang Jin, who had been hiding by the door, come out.
He glanced at it and frowned.
Where are they?
A gust of wind rose behind his ear, and just as he turned around, Shi Yang suddenly jumped out, holding a sharp piece of glass and thrusting it straight forward.
The man's painful screams echoed through the sky.
Shi Yang released her grip, her palm was covered in blood, and her body and face were also covered in blood.
With that stunningly beautiful face, she was both beautiful and deadly.
“This is all your own fault. You were the one who harassed me first. Ji Peiheng used one of your eyes to avenge me, so I will use your other eye to avenge myself.”
I'll kill you!
Liang Jin let out a sharp roar and got up from the ground.
Shi Yang ran outside.
She ran out of the corridor, not daring to stop for a moment, with Liang Jin chasing after her relentlessly.
She ran into a man.
"Yangyang, it's me."
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Shi Yang's bloodshot eyes trembled slightly before she pushed him away.
They ran towards what they thought was a safe place.
Ji Jinyu felt a pang of pain in her heart; she didn't trust him.
Shi Yang ran into the bathroom in one breath, locked the door, hugged herself and curled up, ignoring anyone who knocked.
Her whole body was burning hot; she was at her limit.
She bit her lip until it was bloody and raw, and the wound on her palm was bleeding profusely from being pinched.
Shi Yang could only keep himself from fainting through this self-destructive method.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but she vaguely heard noises outside.
There were many voices speaking, but she couldn't tell who was speaking; they just felt familiar.
Ji Jinyu stood at the restroom door, gently comforting her countless times: "Xiao Yang, please open the door. Liang Jin has been taken into custody by security personnel and is safe now. Please open the door, okay?"
With tears in her eyes and her delicate makeup ruined, Wen Wanwan said, "Sister-in-law, open the door! It's me, Wanwan. I'm here. We're all here..."
There was still no movement from inside the door.
"Has your sister-in-law fainted?"
"Get out of the way, I'll find a way to kick the door open!" Wen Huai'an said.
As the door was kicked open, a hoarse voice came from inside: "Where's Ji Peiheng? I only want Ji Peiheng."
