Tang Jing has recently become obsessed with live streaming, and she cries online every day, hoping that her son will come back to see her.
Zhuang Zhongming couldn't sit still any longer after seeing the message. He immediately went home and, while Tang Jing was sleeping, dragged her out of bed and threw her on the ground.
Zhuang Zhongming grabbed Tang Jing's hair with one hand and slapped her across the face with the other.
He had wanted to hit her for a long time, and once he started, he couldn't stop. It was as if he had broken through some kind of limit and exploded in an instant.
Zhuang Zhongming pinned Tang Jing to the ground, punched her in the face, knocking out one of her teeth and disfiguring her. He wanted to see if she would still dare to cause trouble online.
Tang Jing had to take medication every night before bed. Under the influence of the medication, she felt dizzy and disoriented when she was beaten.
Zhuang Zhongming slapped her across the face, and her entire face immediately burned with pain. Her ears were ringing, and she temporarily lost her hearing.
She coughed up blood and tried to call for help, but Zhuang Chongming didn't give her a chance and beat her with a violent rage.
Tang Jing had been acting erratically for years, only becoming so brazen because she had family members to appease her. Now, Zhuang Zhongming had torn off his disguise and revealed his true colors. Only then did she realize how terrifying a man's violence could be, and how women had no chance to fight back.
Tang Jing could only cover her head as best she could, feeling both hatred and fear towards Zhuang Zhongming.
At first, Tang Jing was able to resist, screaming and grabbing Zhuang Zhongming with her hands.
Zhuang Chongming grabbed her finger and twisted it, breaking off her ring finger. The ring she had worn for over twenty years fell off, looking utterly ridiculous.
"Tang Jing, I've had enough of coaxing you for twenty years. You were very beautiful when you were young, but look at you now."
Zhuang Chongming dragged her into the bathroom like a dead person, then pressed her against the sink, pinched her chin, and forced her to look in the mirror.
She looked like a beggar woman in the mirror, her hair disheveled and stained with blood. Because of the pain, she couldn't open her eyes wide and could only squint at the mirror.
It's so ugly.
Tang Jing let out a piercing scream as she tried to struggle and escape, but how could Zhuang Zhongming possibly give her the chance?
"Look how ugly you are now, old and faded. I'm only willing to coax you because you're useful. If you can't bring me any value, I won't even look at you. You're like chewed gum that I've chewed and spat out. I feel disgusted even sleeping in the same bed with you every day. I feel like throwing up from the smell of medicine on you. You have no figure and can't even have children. Tell me, what do I want from you?"
Once a loving couple, they now hurl the most vicious words at each other.
"A madman like you only causes me trouble. You're always acting crazy. I've wanted to send you to a mental hospital for a long time. I even want you to die in a mental hospital. What's the point of living for someone like you who only causes me trouble?"
After saying that, Zhuang Zhongming loosened his grip, and Tang Jing collapsed to the ground like a limp doll. She looked up at the man with the sinister face, as if she were seeing him for the first time.
"Fine, Zhuang Zhongming, you've finally spoken your mind. I shouldn't have listened to you and married you, shouldn't have had your child, shouldn't have ignored my parents' advice and given you money to save your failing company. I gave up my dreams to make you who you are, and this is how you treat me. You've ruined me."
"I ruined you? Tang Jing, did I force you to marry me? You deserve what you've become. This is retribution for killing your daughter. After all these years of brainwashing, you actually believed the lies and even spread rumors online that Zhuang Yan killed her own sister. It was clearly you! You, the mother, beat her to death out of jealousy for your daughter. You were also jealous of your son, abusing him at home, and now you've crippled me!" Zhuang Chongming pointed fiercely at Tang Jing, wishing he could strangle her. "You're a menace!"
Tang Jing stared at his murderous gaze and laughed: "Yes, I am a menace, then call the police and have me arrested, but do you dare? You're my accomplice in destroying evidence."
Zhuang Zhongming grabbed her hair forcefully: "I won't call the police, I'll lock you up. You don't deserve to sleep in a bed like this. You only deserve to sleep in the basement. I'll buy you a cage and lock you in there, keeping you like a dog, and then announce to the outside world that you're sick."
Upon hearing this, Tang Jing's eyes widened and she screamed, "Zhuang Zhongming, you're breaking the law!"
“Now you know you’ve broken the law, but why didn’t you think of breaking the law when you hurt me?” Zhuang Chongming said, patting Tang Jing’s face. “You’ve rarely gone out these past few years, and you have no friends around you, so no one would have noticed you were missing. I will take you to another place and cut you off from all contact.”
Tang Jing's pupils shrank, and she shrank back, fear binding her like a chain. At this moment, she was no longer high and mighty, no longer detached from her noblewoman's shell. She was just an ordinary person, and without Zhuang Zhongming's protection, she was nothing at all.
After so many years of feigning madness, she's long been ruined. She's like a dodder clinging to a tree; once the tree dies, she won't live long either.
Realizing she was in danger, Tang Jing begged for mercy, "I don't want to... I don't want to be locked up... I was wrong, husband, I shouldn't have disobeyed you... I shouldn't have hurt you..."
"Now you know how to be obedient?"
Tang Jing nodded quickly: "I will listen to you." She dared not talk back anymore.
But it was too late. Zhuang Chongming didn't intend to let her go, but he didn't act immediately. Instead, he took a chain, tied it around her neck, and locked her in the house. The furthest she could move was the toilet. She couldn't open the door or call for help.
Zhuang Chongming didn't call a doctor for her. He just threw her a bottle of alcohol and told her to disinfect it herself. If she didn't disinfect it, she could just wait for the wound to get infected.
To deal with someone like Tang Jing, you have to be ruthless. She only responds to force and not to gentleness. If you give her a little sweetness, she'll really take you seriously.
Zhuang Zhongming had to go to work the next day, so he installed a camera in his bedroom. If he saw Tang Jing trying to call for help, he would go home, get a belt, and beat her. If he didn't want to hear her crying, he would give her medicine, increasing the dosage from two pills to four.
Tang Jing is sleeping longer and longer, and she is listless when she wakes up. She used to scream and go crazy every night, but now she doesn't scream and is obedient.
This is how to deal with a madman. If we had done it sooner, he would have a son and a daughter now, his daughter is still alive, and his son wouldn't be so heartless.
Tang Jing's live streaming was taught by Gu Qian, who also spent money to attract viewers for her.
The live stream was a hit, but now Zhuang Yan has become a target of universal condemnation, to the point that even a passing dog would piss on him.
After only two days of broadcasting, Tang Jing disappeared without a trace. She wouldn't answer his calls. After hesitating for two days, Gu Qian decided to go to the Zhuang family to find Tang Jing, but the housekeeper wouldn't let him in.
“I’m here to see my godmother. I haven’t been able to reach her by phone lately, and I’m worried about her.”
The butler said with a stern face, "President Zhuang has instructed that you cannot go in."
