Zheng Wangshu frowned and looked at Zhou Jingchuan, "Jingchuan, I always feel uneasy. Is Qiao Na okay?"
Zhou Jingchuan's face was solemn, and he obviously had the same premonition. He responded, "Something is very wrong. Let's go and see what's going on."
After that, the two of them asked the neighbors around.
Seeing how anxious they were, the neighbors started talking at once.
Wang Wenyu's family was not well-received in Wangjia Village. Both Wang's father and mother were very mean. Now when they heard someone asking about them, they told almost everything they knew.
I learned from the villagers that Qiao Na didn't go out at all, and they just vaguely heard a commotion at Wang Wenyu's house and someone was crying.
Zheng Wangshu's heart sank, and he became more and more certain that something must have happened to Qiao Na. The three of them went out together, and now that Qiao Na was in trouble, they certainly couldn't just ignore it.
After the two of them discussed it, they went straight to find the village leader.
The team leader was a simple and honest middle-aged man. When he saw that they were looking for something, he quickly asked what was going on.
Zheng Wangshu didn't bother to exchange pleasantries and said anxiously, "Captain, we are friends of Wang Wenyu's fiancée. We came to pick her up, but we were told she was out. She never left the house. After asking around, we figured something might have happened. It wouldn't be a good idea for us to just barge in. Since you're the captain, could you take someone over to take a look?"
Upon hearing this, the captain's expression turned serious. "What's going on? Are you saying your friend has been detained by the Wang family? That's ridiculous. Come on, I'll go with you."
Having said that, he stood up and took Zheng Wangshu and the others to Wang Wenyu's house.
Along the way, the captain kept talking.
"Wenyu seems like a very honest kid. He's probably not a bad person. It's probably his parents who gave him this bad idea."
After a while, they arrived at Wang Wenyu's door.
The team leader entered the yard first, followed closely by Zheng Wangshu and Zhou Jingchuan. At first, the Wang family refused to let them into the house, but Zhou Jingchuan didn't buy it and kicked the door open.
After kicking the door open, the scene before them made everyone feel nervous.
Joanna's hair was disheveled and her eyes were red. She was tied to the bed and couldn't move. There was a rag stuffed in her mouth, so she could only make a whimpering sound.
It looked as miserable as it could be.
The captain's eyes widened in anger as he shouted, "What are you doing? It's broad daylight, and there's no law around! You're committing a crime!"
Wang Wenyu stood aside, his face full of nervousness and guilt, stammering but not daring to say a word.
Zheng Wangshu's face turned grim. He quickly stepped forward and took the cloth out of Qiao Na's mouth.
Joanna cried out "Wow" and began to recount her experiences of the past few days with sobs.
As she spoke, Qiao Na's thoughts returned to two days ago.
At that time, she was full of joy and longing for the future, and followed Wang Wenyu into this small farmyard.
Although she came from a wealthy family and had seen the world after studying abroad, she thought that since she was married, it was her responsibility to integrate into her husband's family, so she took the initiative to help pack the luggage.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, her mother-in-law started shouting and setting rules.
"Once you enter our house, you must abide by our rules. You must do the laundry, cooking, and cleaning. Don't act like a capitalist lady."
Joanna was stunned on the spot, obviously not expecting this to happen. She felt extremely aggrieved, but she endured it, thinking that it was just the traditional ideas of the elderly at work, and thought that she just needed to explain it to them.
When it was time for dinner, the family sat around the table.
Just as Qiao Na was about to sit down, the Queen Mother glared at her and slammed her chopsticks onto the table.
"How can a new bride eat at the table? Finish your work first, and then you can eat after we finish."
Qiao Na's eyes instantly turned red, and she looked at Wang Wenyu for help, but Wang Wenyu just lowered his head and muttered softly, "Nana, just listen to your mother for now. This is the custom here. I don't mean anything against you."
At that moment, Qiao Na's heart felt like it was poured with a bucket of cold water, and it was completely cold.
Next, her in-laws became more and more difficult, as if they were deliberately trying to wear down her spirit.
The next day, the Queen Mother looked at Jonah's beloved pet dog and came up with an idea. In order to test Jonah's obedience, she cruelly captured the dog.
Joanna went to the backyard to pick two vegetables, and when she came back she saw an extremely bloody scene.
The snow-white fur was stained with blood, and it was already dead. The skinned puppy was being roasted over the fire by the mother-in-law, preparing to eat the dog meat!
Joanna felt dizzy and rushed over to argue.
But the Queen Mother was very confident, "It's just a dog. In our country, if it itches, it's eaten. The same goes for you. Don't think you are so precious."
Joanna completely collapsed. She regretted so much that she was so blind as to plunge into this fire pit.
She screamed at Wang Wenyu, "Wang Wenyu, your mother is sick, right? How could you do this to me? I want to divorce you!"
But what he got in return was a chorus of scolding from Wang Wenyu's family.
The Queen Mother even ordered Wang Wenyu and his father to drag Qiao Na into the house and lock her up.
No matter how she cried and begged, he remained indifferent until Zheng Wangshu and Zhou Jingchuan came.
After hearing Qiao Na's sobbing, the captain stamped his feet in anger, "Your family is too shameless! This is illegal. Let him go immediately!"
Wang Wenyu's parents panicked and hurriedly let go of Qiao Na.
Zheng Wangshu held Qiao Na in his arms with heartache and comforted her softly.
Zhou Jingchuan glared at Wang Wenyu's family, gritting his teeth and saying, "Are you all beasts? How dare you bully others like this!"
Qiao Na cried so hard in Zheng Wangshu's arms that her body trembled. Zheng Wangshu patted her back and said softly, "Nana, don't be afraid. With Jingchuan and I here, they won't be able to touch you again."
As he said that, he helped Qiao Na up.
Zhou Jingchuan tacitly stood in front, blocking the view of Wang Wenyu and his family.
Wang Wenyu wanted to step forward and plead, but he stammered, "Nana, I was wrong. Please don't leave. Let's talk it over..."
Zhou Jingchuan turned his head suddenly, his eyes as sharp as knives.
"Discuss? You know how to discuss now? Why didn't you discuss when you killed the dog? Why didn't you discuss when you kidnapped people? Now that the truth has been revealed, you're overthinking it. Let's settle all the beastly things you've done one by one."
He took a few steps forward and grabbed Wang Wenyu by the collar.
"Wang, are you considered a man?"
Wang Wenyu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he dared not say anything.
Zheng Wangshu escorted Qiao Na out of the yard, went to the captain's house, quickly called the police, and explained the situation briefly.
After hanging up the phone, he quickly contacted Jonah's parents. As soon as the call was connected, Jonah heard her father's voice and couldn't help crying again.
Zheng Wangshu explained the situation to Qiao's father in a few simple words.
Mr. Qiao on the other end of the line was instantly furious, and his voice came through the receiver, making Zheng Wangshu's ears numb.
