Chapter 480 Caught in the act
In the small and dark room, Kang Guangzong was tied to a single bed with layers of restraints, his eyes were covered with linen, and his face was fixed with a hollow iron mask, unable to move at all.
“Tick-tock.”
“Tick-tock.”
…
Drops of water fell from the bucket hanging in the air and hit Kang Guangzong between his eyebrows.
Kang Guangzong still had the energy to yell and curse at the beginning, but as time went on, water drops kept falling on his brows. He could no longer bear it, and began to get anxious, breaking down and crying, begging for mercy desperately.
The stench of feces and urine spread throughout the room, and the yellow and white mucus that Kang Guangzong had vomited flowed from the single bed to the floor.
Wang Honghong almost vomited as soon as she entered.
He hurriedly withdrew and couldn't help but dry heave.
Meng Guan, who was sitting in the yard reading a book, didn't look at him and said calmly, "I told you not to go in."
"Damn." Wang Honghong took a sip of water and rinsed her mouth. "You didn't tell me it was so disgusting inside."
Meng Guan calmly turned a page of the book.
Wang Honghong leaned over and said, "Little Mengzi, what on earth did Brother Jiang do to this kid? He looks like he's going crazy."
He howled all night long. When he went in just now, Kang Guangzong didn't react at all. His mouth was open and his whole body was shaking. He was still there, but his soul seemed to be shattered.
"Didn't you see the bucket on his head?" Meng Guan put down the book.
Wang Honghong nodded. "I saw it. What's it for?"
He just couldn't understand this point. He had gone through so much trouble to bring the person back, and just locked him in bed without beating or scolding, and kept eating and drinking. He really couldn't figure out what Brother Jiang meant.
"This is a form of torture. The key lies in the constant dripping of water between the eyebrows."
Wang Honghong shook her head. "What's wrong with the water droplets?"
"The scientific explanation is that the area between the eyebrows is home to many nerve endings and receptors, which are extremely sensitive to touch, pressure and other stimuli, and a simple touch can produce a noticeable sensation."
As Meng Guan spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Wang Honghong's eyebrows. Before he got close, Wang Honghong felt uncomfortable and turned her head away.
"You see, even without touching it, when people sense a foreign object close to their eyebrows, psychological suggestion will cause pressure and a foreign body sensation, which in turn causes discomfort."
Wang Honghong seemed to understand, but after digesting it for a moment, he shook his head again.
"If Brother Jiang really can't stand this kid, he can just beat him up to death. It would be a relief and save trouble. But he's going through so much trouble, and it's not pleasant to watch. Why?"
Meng Guan glanced at the closed door, lowered his head to continue reading, and said calmly:
"Brother Jiang is trying to drive people crazy. I don't know why, but I suggest you don't ask."
"Don't ask, then don't ask."
Wang Honghong was quiet for a moment, then remembered something and looked up and asked, "Is there no one at home looking for this guy?"
Meng Guan scoffed, "This kid was short of money so he sold his two sisters. When his mother tried to stop him, he pushed her away with a palm, and she banged her head on the table and died. His father was so angry that he had a stroke. There's no one left at home except a guard dog who can come to visit him."
"What a beast." Wang Honghong clicked her tongue in surprise.
Meng Guan nodded in agreement.
Wang Honghong saw him staring at a tattered book, and after a moment's thought, she asked, "Where's Brother Jiang?"
"No." Meng Guan answered casually, his fingers pausing as he flipped through the book. He raised his head and lowered his voice, "Do you feel that Brother Jiang has been acting strangely lately?"
"Something's wrong?" Wang Honghong thought about it carefully, but didn't feel anything was wrong.
Meng Guan further prompted: "Don't you think that Brother Jiang has been particularly silent recently, but at the same time he is suppressing something in his heart?"
He is a science student and his Chinese language skills are not good enough to accurately describe this abstract feeling.
Wang Honghong was confused by what she heard. "Can you speak some human language?"
"Tsk." Meng Guan put the book down, waving his fingers meaninglessly. "It's just a feeling... like... like a pistol, cold and hard, ready to fire a fatal bullet at any moment."
Wang Honghong had never been to school and didn't understand at all: "Can you say something I can understand?"
Meng Guan was convinced: "I told you to read some books a long time ago. I have explained it in such a simple and easy-to-understand way."
"Bullshit, guns and bullets." Wang Honghong retorted to him.
Meng Guan rolled his eyes at him, then thought for a moment, "Brother Jiang is even colder and more silent now. He doesn't smile anymore, and it's really scary to look at him."
"Brother Jiang is always like this." Wang Honghong said: "Brother Jiang is a little special to my sister-in-law, and he doesn't always ignore us."
After Wang Honghong finished speaking, she saw that Meng Guan didn't say anything, so she looked up at him.
Meng Guan looked like he was looking at a stupid pig.
"You... forget it. I've got you covered. Even a sow can climb a tree."
The naked disdain provoked Wang Honghong to roll up her sleeves and fight him: "Little Mengzi, if you've had enough of living, tell me and I'll give you a quick death."
Don't be fooled by Wang Honghong's thin appearance. He is actually very strong. Among this group of people, except for Brother Jiang, he is the best fighter.
This kid has no father or mother, and is used to being wild. He acts without thinking, and is cruel and vicious. Except for Brother Jiang, no one dares to fight him.
Seeing that he had driven the man crazy, Meng Guan quickly changed the subject and said, "Aren't you still going to pick up Zhou Nian?"
As usual on Fridays, Zhou Nian would go home, and Liangzi was not in Beijing, so Wang Honghong took the initiative to take over this task.
Wang Honghong slapped her head, her tone annoyed.
"I forgot and almost made a mistake."
He was in a panic, grabbed the key and ran out.
Meng Guan shouted at his back, "Don't tell Zhou Nian about this courtyard. She'll definitely tell my sister-in-law."
"You think I'm stupid."
Wang Honghong gave him the middle finger, tilted her head and cursed Meng Guan, then opened the gate without even looking.
The vermilion wooden door creaked harshly.
Then a breeze accompanied by a faint fragrance swept across Wang Honghong's nose. His nostrils moved slightly, his head spun along with the fragrance, and he said infatuatedly: "What a nice smell——"
After seeing the person standing at the door clearly, Wang Honghong's pupils suddenly shrank: "Fuck!"
The person standing outside the door was none other than Ye Rou, whom they wanted to hide from others.
With her arms folded, there was no smile on her delicate and charming face, and she looked very cold.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"
He suddenly raised his voice.
When Meng Guan in the yard heard this, his hand trembled and the book fell on the table.
The two people's reactions were too exaggerated, and they looked obviously guilty.
Ye Rou narrowed her eyes slightly: "Where's Jiang Chen?"
"Brother Jiang...Brother Jiang is not here."
Wang Honghong was so anxious that her throat split.
With his hands behind his back, he desperately gestured for help.
Meng Guan knew he couldn't escape, so he stepped forward and stood next to Wang Honghong, trying to block Ye Rou's sight.
"sister in law."
Ye Rou looked up at him.
The slightly upturned fox eyes were alluring and her gaze was extremely calm, as if penetrating Meng Guan's skin, making him feel a chill in his heart: "Sister-in-law, why did you come here so suddenly?"
“It’s not sudden.”
Ye Rou turned sideways and stood behind her, and Xia Hua, holding a schoolbag, appeared in their sight.
"I'm here to see someone off."
