Chapter 396 I Want These People to Die Hard
Chen Zhichu reached out and gently stroked the ragdoll cat whose fur was burnt by the fire. Tears kept falling one by one and he couldn't stop. His gray pupils were filled with tears, which stung his eyes and made them burn with pain.
Her eyes were either unable to cry or unable to stop crying. At this moment, her eyes seemed to be blind. She tilted her head back, the veins on her neck bulged, Shen Zhichu opened her mouth slightly, closed her eyes tightly, and cried hoarsely.
The choked and hoarse voice had broken, like a rusty knife scraping against a whetstone, so harsh and unpleasant that the listener's heart could not help but tighten.
Bai Qiujing's eyes also turned red. He turned his face away silently. He couldn't show any vulnerability, for fear that he would not be able to stand in front of Shen Zhichu.
Chen Zhichu knelt on the ground and slowly spread the soil on Nian Nian to bury it until it could no longer be seen. Shen Zhichu's thin body trembled violently, and his sporadic crying grew louder and louder, with extreme sadness.
Shen Zhichu never thought that she would be so sad. It was as if her whole body was pierced by needles, each needle was more fierce and powerful than the last, piercing through the skin and flesh, through the blood, almost into the bone marrow, piercing every inch of her body, not even sparing the tiny gaps between bones, and the pain made her unable to breathe.
Shen Zhichu scattered sunflower seeds into the flowerpot.
"If reincarnation really exists in this world, and all things can be reborn after death, then... can we still meet each other every year?"
Shen Zhichu's pupils have always been dark, with a glimmer of light in them, but now that ray of light is extinguished, her eyes are like a pool of stagnant water.
Bai Qiujing raised his hand and gently placed it on Shen Zhichu's head: "There will definitely be a next life. It will definitely come back to you again. Niannian just went to Cat Planet for a short time."
Shen Zhichu woke up and blew her nose. She was covered in blood, her face was dirty, and her eyes were misty and gray.
Standing next to the tall man, she looked even thinner, as if she would disappear in the wind.
Shen Zhichu tightly grasped the collar in his hand: “Let’s go.”
"Where are you going?" Bai Qiujing asked. He was worried about Shen Zhichu. Shen Zhichu was crying loudly just a second ago, but now he has regained his composure, so calm that it is a little scary.
Her face was pale and sickly, not like a living person, her eyes were lifeless, and when she had no expression on her face, she looked like a puppet.
Shen Zhichu moved his lips: "Go home."
She turned around and took two steps before suddenly stopping. Someone grabbed her left hand. She turned back stiffly to look at Bai Qiujing's face.
Bai Qiujing held her hand tightly, his whole body trembling because he was afraid that something might happen to her. He stared at her without blinking, as if he was not looking at a person but a cloud of ethereal smoke, afraid that if he was not careful, she would wither away in front of his eyes.
"Chu Chu, come home with me."
Shen Zhichu didn't say anything, but as Bai Qiujing took her hand and walked forward, she couldn't help but lift her feet and keep up with his pace.
Her eyes, which had been crying for too long, felt a little stinging when they came into contact with the light outside. She half-closed her eyes to adapt for a while before opening them again.
Shen Zhichu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Bai Qiujing's tall figure.
Shen Zhichu didn't say a word along the way. Her cell phone in her bag was turned to silent mode, and she was bombarded with calls and text messages.
Bai Qiujing opened the passenger door and watched Shen Zhichu get in before he turned around and sat in the driver's seat, fastening Shen Zhichu's seat belt.
Bai Qiujing was driving the car. The car was quiet for a while and the sound of the wheels rolling over the road could be clearly heard.
Bai Qiujing handed Shen Zhichu a bottle of water: "Drink some water."
"I don't want to drink." Shen Zhichu fumbled with the collar in his hand and took out an object the size of his little finger from it.
Bai Qiujing took a look and immediately knew what it was.
--Camera.
The camera is wrapped in a collar and is difficult to detect without careful observation.
Bai Qiujing only installed a locator in the collar, and the camera was naturally installed by Shen Zhichu.
They took careful precautions, but still lost their lives every year.
Shen Zhichu held the camera, which was also stained with blood, and his hands were shaking.
Back at Bai Qiujing's house, Bai Qiujing found some clean clothes and said, "Go take a shower first. I'll check if the content in the camera is damaged."
Shen Zhichu's drooping eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long pause, he reached out and took the clothes from Bai Qiujing's hand and said, "Thank you."
The relationship between them seemed to have returned to the beginning, seemingly close but actually far away.
After watching Shen Zhichu enter the bathroom, Bai Qiujing looked at the camera placed on the table with the collar.
He took out his computer, removed the card from the camera, inserted it into the computer and clicked on it.
The picture was very shaky, but it did not affect the viewing experience. Bai Qiujing changed the date to today, adjusted the time to one hour ago, and then slowly scrolled forward.
Seeing Xu Nian carrying Nian Nian to a small river and handing her to a woman wearing a mask, Bai Qiujing pressed the pause button, copied the next 30 minutes of the video clip, and saved it on his USB drive.
He couldn't let Shen Zhichu do something stupid and dirty her hands, so he had to solve the problem before Shen Zhichu did.
This is the way the world is. Abusing cats is not illegal, and at most you will be morally condemned.
Bai Qiujing clicked on the video again and started watching it until the woman in the picture took off her mask. Bai Qiujing's eyes narrowed.
This is Zheng Xiuxiu.
Bai Qiujing's eyes were filled with a strong sense of hostility, and his pupils were as sharp as an eagle. He gripped the mouse tightly and carefully analyzed the entire world.
The real mastermind behind this incident was Xia Yanyue, and Zheng Xiuxiu was her accomplice.
Xia Yanyue first arranged for someone to capture Xu Nian's mother and threaten Xu Nian. She then used coercion and inducement to force Xu Nian to take Nian Nian out and hand him over to Zheng Xiuxiu.
Since Zheng Xiuxiu couldn't touch Shen Zhichu, she turned her hatred towards Nian Nian, just because she felt that she was banned because of Shen Zhichu.
The reason why she could be so unscrupulous was, firstly, her reputation had long been ruined, secondly, she thought Xia Yanyue could help her cover up the matter so that no one would find out, and thirdly, she was taking advantage of legal loopholes.
Bai Qiujing thought that when Zheng Xiuxiu was abusing Nian Nian, she probably thought that killing a cat would not be illegal.
Since Zheng Xiuxiu likes to exploit legal loopholes so much, he will let her do so to her heart's content.
This time, Bai Qiujing didn't want to find a marketing account through second-hand channels. He directly connected to his Weibo and posted the video there.
In just ten seconds, he received over a thousand likes. He usually posts very little on Weibo, which is usually used for promotion, but even so, his number of fans is still among the best.
He posted it on his Weibo and it became a trending topic without spending any money, and it directly reached the top of the trending searches.
When Bai Qiujing saw the hot search today, he hurriedly followed the location to find Shen Zhichu. He didn't read the content on Weibo carefully, but when he thought about it, it wasn't a good content.
Now, the photo of him appearing in the hospital and taking Shen Zhichu away has been posted online. The marketing account dare not offend him and can only discredit Shen Zhichu to attract the attention of Bai Qiujing's fans.
These unscrupulous marketing accounts are used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They thought that he didn't often go on Weibo, so they attacked people around him at will.
These bastards should have been dealt with long ago. Bai Qiujing immediately contacted people to block these marketing accounts, and also investigated the real IDs and sent a lawyer's letter directly.
As for what netizens posted, Bai Qiujing didn't have the time to read it, nor did he want to read it, because when he saw Shen Zhichu being bullied because of him, he really couldn't help but want to kill himself.
After Bai Qiujing finished everything, he looked at the time and saw that half an hour had passed.
His heart skipped a beat. He stood up and looked upstairs. Why did Shen Zhichu take so long in the shower and still not come out? Could it be...
Bai Qiujing ran upstairs and reached the bathroom. He pressed the doorknob directly, but it was locked from the inside. At this moment, his heart was so frantic that it almost stopped beating. Bai Qiujing quickly knocked on the door: "Chu Chu!"
There was no response from inside.
Bai Qiujing's breath hitched, and he raised his foot to kick, when suddenly there was a slight movement from inside, and the doorknob moved.
Shen Zhichu had her hair loose and put her hand on the door to push it open.
"What's up?"
Bai Qiujing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if his soul had left his body and come back. His brain went numb for a short time, and it took him a while to recover.
"I've already pulled up the video."
Having just taken a shower, Chen Zhichu should have been steaming hot and his face should have regained its color when he came out.
But Chen Zhichu's face was still pale. There was water in the bathroom, but he couldn't feel any heat at all.
In addition, Shen Zhichu was right in front of him, and he could clearly feel the chill emanating from her, not only from her body but also from her eyes.
The half-hour bath that Shen Zhichu took was a cold shower. She wanted to sober herself up and calm down by punishing herself.
"Who is it?" Shen Zhichu asked coldly.
"Zheng Xiuxiu."
Shen Zhichu gritted his teeth, his eyes becoming colder and colder.
"I won't let her go."
"Yeah." This time, Bai Qiujing didn't stop her, because he had done what he should do. He couldn't let go of Nian Nian's death either. He and Shen Zhichu had the same idea, which was to make Zheng Xiuxiu pay a heavy price.
However, Shen Zhichu's hatred was even deeper. When Shen Zhichu said in the car that he wanted to kill "them", he really wanted to kill people with a knife.
Shen Zhichu went downstairs and opened the video on Bai Qiujing's computer.
When she saw Nian Nian's injuries, she thought about what it had suffered, but everything she thought of was not even one percent of it.
Nian Nian is a beautiful and delicate ragdoll cat. It is afraid of pain. After experiencing the fire three years ago, it is even more afraid of fire. However, Zheng Xiuxiu actually poured gasoline directly on it, burning it from the tail upwards.
In the video, Zheng Xiuxiu's face is ferocious and her eyes are full of viciousness.
"You deserve it, Shen Zhichu. It's all Shen Zhichu! If it weren't for Shen Zhichu, I wouldn't be like this! You ugly cat deserves to die. You're Shen Zhichu's cat. If you want to hate someone, hate Shen Zhichu!"
Zheng Xiuxiu's look clearly showed that she mistook Nian Nian for Shen Zhichu.
Niannian gradually stopped struggling and lay on the ground motionless. The fire spread all over its body. No one knew how it managed to hold on until the end.
Zheng Xiuxiu obviously didn't want it to die so quickly, so she put out the fire with her feet. There was still a smile on her face, a perverted and vicious smile, like a madman.
The surveillance cameras are on Nian Nian, making it impossible to see its current situation.
As Shen Zhichu watched the video, the scene where she saw Nian Nian emerged in her mind.
He was lying in the garbage dump, a bloody mess, with his hideous and rotten wounds exposed to the air, a shocking sight.
Shen Zhichu closed his stinging eyes: How desperate Niannian must be, and how much effort it took for it to hold on until she found it.
"Don't look..." Bai Qiujing said.
"I want her to die a miserable death." Death would only be a blessing for her.
"I have posted this video online."
Shen Zhichu looked at him.
Bai Qiujing said: "Now everyone knows what happened."
"So what if you know?" Shen Zhichu sneered, full of sarcasm. After taking a cold shower, she sobered up and became more and more disgusted with this false world.
In this world, killing a person means paying with one's life, but there is no such thing as killing a cat means paying with one's life.
Even if everyone knew about the crime Zheng Xiuxiu committed, at most they would just verbally insult her. For such a person who is at odds with others, cyberbullying will have no effect at all, because she is more disgusting than "cyberbullying".
"I know you hate her, but I don't want you to dirty your hands because of her."
Shen Zhichu said nothing, but clicked on the video and watched it again, as if he wanted to melt this hatred into his bones and engrave it deep in his soul.
Bai Qiujing turned off the computer directly, squatted on the ground, held Shen Zhichu's cold hand, looked directly into her eyes and repeated: "Don't bear it alone. I will help you solve what you hate and dislike, okay? Don't dirty your hands for these scumbags. It's not worth it."
