Huang Ling's words confused Mrs. Huang: "Huang Ruo clearly didn't know anything. I was the one who knocked you unconscious. Why are you taking your anger out on Huang Ruo?"
"anger?"
Huang gave a few wry laughs, "It would be good if he really took his anger out on others."
Mrs. Huang became more and more confused. "Explain yourself clearly. What exactly happened?"
Huang Ling laughed louder and more mournfully.
Huang Ling took a long time to answer Mrs. Huang's question, "Your daughter is just as heartless as you. For so many years, she's eaten my food, lived in my house, and used my things. I transformed her from an ordinary family's child into a socialite heiress. Even though the Huo family relatives laughed at her for being stupid and clumsy, I still gave her the best. To increase her status, I begged my aunt to put her and Tingzhen in the same educational environment. And she actually thought of replacing Tingzhen. Actually, I should have known at this point that she was an ungrateful wretch, but unfortunately, I was blinded by your sweet words and couldn't see clearly."
Mrs. Huang only realized now that he had been taken advantage of by Huang Ruo.
"You saw Huang Ruo?"
"I saw him."
Mrs. Huang was somewhat agitated, "How is she?"
"Not good. He's covered in injuries, especially a big hole in his forehead. But he's lucky he didn't die and is still perfectly conscious."
How did you get injured?
"This is one of the most underdeveloped regions in Africa, where many old customs are still preserved."
"They used vigilante justice?"
Huang Ling grinned menacingly, "Yes!"
Mrs. Huang felt like she was about to faint. "How could you just stand by and watch them use vigilante justice against Huang Ruo?"
Why can't I?
It's better not to mention it, because bringing it up makes Huang even angrier.
After being knocked unconscious by his wife, he was taken outside the police station, and then a man led him into a room.
Huang Ruo lives next door.
He felt heartbroken seeing Huang Ruo's miserable state, but he didn't have the courage to say he would die in her place.
So he stood there without saying a word.
I overheard the conversation next door.
The mine manager said, "I've already made arrangements. As long as one of your parents is willing to take the blame for you, you can get out."
Huang Ruo, who had been leaning against the wall listlessly, suddenly rushed in front of him, her tone urgent, "Then you should go find them! My parents love me very much, they will definitely agree."
At that moment, the last spark of hope in Huang Ling's heart was extinguished.
"You need to understand that if they take the blame for you, they'll lose their lives. Would you really be willing to do that?"
Huang Ru hesitated for a minute or two before nodding.
Huang Ling no longer knew how to describe her feelings; she could only stare at Huang Ruo and see more and more unfamiliar emotions beginning to appear in her eyes.
"Have you decided who you want to help you?"
Huang Ruo shook her head.
"It's okay! Your mother made the decision for you."
"My mother?"
Huang Ruo's eyes blurred with tears, "Mommy! Waaaaah..."
"Your father is outside right now. Is there anything you want to tell him?"
"Um?"
"Your mother knocked your father unconscious, so that he would die in your place, and she was going to take you away from here."
"Leave here?"
"Yes! Your phones and IDs are with your mother right now. She's waiting for you about a mile outside the police station. Do you want to go with her?"
"I......"
Huang Ruo was very conflicted; she didn't want her parents to die in her place.
"You only get one chance, so think it over carefully. If you don't agree, you'll be the one sentenced to death."
The word "death penalty" deeply affected Huang Ruo. Without any further hesitation, she nodded and said, "My dad loves me very much. He definitely doesn't want me to die. He would be willing to."
Upon hearing this, Huang Ling could no longer contain himself and rushed over.
"I fucking don't want to."
Huang Ruo was startled.
"I've treated you two mothers and daughters with all my heart for so many years, and this is how you two ingrates treat me? I'm leaving here, and I don't care if you live or die."
He turned around and actually walked out.
Huang Ruo reacted quickly, taking a few steps forward and grabbing Huang Ling's leg, crying, "Dad, save me! I don't want to die!"
"You don't want to die, so you expect me to die in your place?"
"You're so old, it won't matter if you live a few years less. I'm still so young, please help me out!"
Why didn't you ask your mom for help?
"I......"
Huang Ling understood without needing an explanation. One was her biological mother, and the other was her stepfather. There was no need for hesitation in choosing between them.
When Huang Ruo thought it was Mrs. Huang who was replacing her, she cried; but when she heard it was him who was replacing her, she didn't cry.
I understand, but I can't stop my anger.
Huang Ling could no longer control his emotions, and raised his fist, punching Huang Ruo repeatedly.
He was still very careful in his actions, gently avoiding Huang Ruo's forehead.
The mine manager just stood by and watched, making no attempt to stop it.
After Huang Ruo fainted, he stepped forward and said, "You knocked her out, and now I have to go through all the trouble of taking her to her mother's place. I could have just taken her to the door."
“What do you mean, ‘okay’? I never agreed to die in her place. Don’t forget, I’m Old Madam Huo’s own nephew. She’ll take me back sooner or later. If you kill me, she will never let you off the hook.”
Huang Ling's words seemed to remind him, "You're right too."
Huang Ling pressed his advantage, saying, "So, let Huang Ruo accept the punishment herself. Give me back my ID and phone, and I'll leave right away."
The other person shook their head.
Huang Ling began to panic, and then launched into another round of threats, this time invoking Old Madam Huo.
The other person handed Huang another cigarette, saying, "You've misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that your wife took your identification."
Huang Ling threw down his cigarette and ran outside.
Sure enough, they found Mrs. Huang's car about a mile away.
Mrs. Huang just wanted to scream at that moment: Why did that person change his mind? Why wasn't she and her daughter released together?
If that person hadn't come to take the blame for them, she and Huang Ling wouldn't have fallen out.
If Huang Ruoruo is destined to die, why make him lose Huang Ling?
"Let me tell you! There was no such thing as taking the blame; it was all a test."
A test?
Mrs. Huang's face turned ashen; she had fallen for the trap.
“As long as the compensation is high enough, Huang Ruo won’t have to die here.”
A glimmer of hope appeared in Mrs. Huang's eyes.
But Huang Ling smashed it without any mercy.
"Now, Huang Ruo must pay with her life."
Mrs. Huang pleaded, "Please let Huang Ruo go. She truly considers you her father."
It was that phrase he never wanted to hear again.
Huang Ling walked over and slapped Mrs. Huang across the face. "Remember this, Huang Ruo is in this situation because she brought it on herself, and it's also the result of you hurting me."
Untie the rope on the handlebars and tie Mrs. Huang's feet as well.
Then, he shoved the person into the car.
The car drove into a cluster of fairly tall buildings, and several men came out.
Huang Ling opened the car door, pulled Mrs. Huang out, and pushed her in front of them.
Although Mrs. Huang is not young, she takes good care of herself and looks much younger than her actual age.
The other party was also very satisfied.
nod.
A man handed Huang Ling a wad of cash.
Mrs. Huang realized something, but before she could ask, Huang Ling had already instructed the person opposite her to cover her mouth.
"Good luck, my dear wife."
Amid Mrs. Huang's utter shock, Huang drove away from the scene quickly.
