Chapter 234: Secret Room
Hearing that Qi Tao had searched for more than 30 times, the guests felt something was wrong.
After searching for so long, Qi Tao also wrote a script and contacted the program crew to shoot, plus the festival "Didn't you call the police?" Lin Mian asked.
Qi Tao: "I reported it to the police, but they still couldn't find her. My sister's identity is special. She was abducted as a child and was only recently found. When she left her adoptive parents' home, she was very reluctant to leave. The police suspect that my sister may have gone to her adoptive parents' home or a friend's house alone."
Under everyone's gaze, Qi Tao continued speaking.
"But I'm sure my sister didn't go. In three days they'll be appeasing the dead. They let me leave home for one reason only: they're planning to push my sister out."
Hearing that it was not yet time, Qi Tao's sister was most likely still safe and sound, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhu Jixun eased the atmosphere.
"There are still three days left. I was wondering why you didn't become a hasty king."
Qi Tao is still tense and can't relax easily.
He turned to Jiang Ning and asked hopefully, "Teacher Jiang, do you know where my sister is?"
At Qi Tao's expectation, Jiang Ning nodded, "I know, isn't your sister right next to you?"
Qi Tao reflexively looked at Zhu Jixun who was beside him. When their eyes met, they both looked away in disgust.
Zhu Jixun gathered his coat and said, "Teacher Jiang, look how worried Qi Tao is. Stop teasing him. Where is his sister?"
Jiang Ning, who knew no one would believe her when she was telling the truth, sighed and pointed at Meng Ying who was on the other side of Qi Tao.
"His sister is Meng Ying, she's here." Gui
Qi Tao's brain froze when he heard this. He looked at Meng Ying, who was also shocked and didn't know what expression to make, and asked in a dry voice.
"Who was the one who was arrested?"
"Oh, that's the illegitimate daughter of your old clan leader, Lao Deng." Jiang Ning showed a look of disgust.
[That old man, Deng, took advantage of his status to get the most money from the Qi family. He spent his money lavishly and abandoned people ruthlessly. He probably doesn't even remember his illegitimate daughter.]
[She didn't even realize how small the world is. Meng Ying and the illegitimate daughter were abducted by the same group of human traffickers, and later sold to different families.]
Not long ago, the Qi family spent a fortune looking for Meng Ying. During the crackdown, human traffickers, who hadn't been active for two years, got wind of the situation and initially planned to find Meng Ying and extort a large sum of money from the Qi family. However, Meng Ying had been transferred to three families and later left the country, leaving the traffickers with no clues about her. So, they decided to use their illegitimate daughter to impersonate Meng Ying.
Jiang Ning's heartfelt words fell, and Qi Tao looked at Meng Ying distressedly. With red eyes, he wanted to hug his sister, but he was cautious and did not dare to touch her.
She was transferred to three families. Just this short description made Qi Tao seem to see the scene where his sister was despised and passed around by those people.
Qi Tao sniffed, and it seemed that he didn't know how to continue thinking. Meng Ying hugged him with an expression of disgust and said in a very cool tone.
"I'm not as cowardly as you think. I've had my share of hard times over the years, but I've never let myself suffer. It's much better than living with a family of wolves and tigers who value your life more than your money."
My sister talks so arrogantly. Qi Tao didn't know whether he should be sentimental for a moment. He looked at Jiang Ning and silently asked if what Meng Ying said was true or just to comfort him.
Meng Ying was right. Although she lived outside, she was indeed much more comfortable than Qi Tao. As a child, she could single-handedly challenge a grown man. With that kind of strength and courage, anyone who dared to mistreat her would be able to tear down the buyer's house. In those three families, she lived better than the owners themselves with her fists. She even sent them off like a giant Buddha.
[After Meng Ying was forced to marry an old man to exchange for her business, she successfully obtained a large sum of money from their "willing" compensation. Before leaving the country, she also handed over evidence of their crimes to the police. She did a good deed, received the reward, got out of trouble, and went to study abroad happily.]
The compliment in Jiang Ning's heart made Meng Ying wink at her mischievously.
When Qi Tao and everyone heard about Meng Ying's great achievements, they all gave her a thumbs up.
In the live broadcast room, some people’s relatives and friends were abducted, and they also hoped that all the abducted children could be like Meng Ying and single out the traffickers and buyers.
Even though there may not be one such case as Meng Ying in a million, they still pray that their child will be one of the lucky ones.
After Qi Tao realized that his sister was not exaggerating and that she had really lived a good and exciting life in recent years, he pulled her aside to listen to her stories over the years.
The two reunited after a long separation and reminisced about the past, and Lin Mian asked Jiang Ning in a low voice.
"For the other person who was arrested, should we call the police?"
The person arrested was not Meng Ying, but the illegitimate daughter of the evildoer, which made them feel relieved. Some netizens who hate evil may feel that the evildoer is gloating over the people he tortured, but after all, they know about this matter, no matter what, it seems not good.
After all, how to sentence people is the business of the police and the judges, and there is no reason for them to do something privately.
As soon as Lin Mian finished speaking, a police siren sounded. Jiang Ning shook the very convenient watch on her wrist.
"The police are here."
When the police arrived, Jiang Ning took a group of people to look for the illegitimate daughter of the Lao Deng clan leader.
The place where the illegitimate daughter was imprisoned was indeed hidden. It was in the ancestral hall of the house. Hundreds of tablets had to be taken down, and then several sophisticated mechanisms had to be passed through to open the passage.
Qi Tao held the ancestral tablet and looked at the opened secret room with a very bad expression.
He thought of all the places where those people might hide, but he never thought they would be here.
"Don't think too much. If you can share the same mind with those evil people and move ancestral tablets with such immorality and disrespect, I, Meng Ying, will not recognize you as my brother." Meng Ying patted Qi Tao's shoulder and said.
Qi Tao's discomfort was somewhat relieved by her words. He carefully placed the tablet on the cushion, and the two of them followed everyone into the secret room.
The secret room was very long. When they reached the end, they saw a girl tied there, her face pale and unconscious. The police went over to confirm that she was still alive and breathed a sigh of relief. They handed her to the medical staff who came with them to carry her out for a more thorough examination.
The others were observing the secret room and saw many large vats in it. Zhu Jixun knocked on the surface of the vats and was very confused.
"What are all these jars for? Are they used as cellars for pickling sauerkraut?"
Seeing that he wanted to open it and take a look, Jiang Ning quickly held down this overly curious guy.
"If you don't want to have nightmares at night, it's best not to open it."
Opening a tank was associated with nightmares, as not only the police who were searching for other things looked over, but the guests also focused their attention on the large tanks.
Lin Mian had come across quite a few scripts recently. Looking at the big vat, he remembered something, swallowed his saliva, and walked away from the vat, approaching Jiang Ning and asking.
"Is that a human pig inside?"
Almost everyone present knew what this thing was. They had not seen it with their own eyes, but they knew that a lady in ancient times had done this horrible thing and had studied this history.
Jiang Ning nodded, and in his heart he also had a clearer understanding of the evil of the evildoers.
"Yes, the oldest one in the vat is over a thousand years old. They specially built a sturdy large vat to store it, and it hasn't broken yet."
When she said this to confirm it, Zhu Jixun, who was about to open the vat, felt something was wrong all over.
"The ones in this jar are from the last thirty years." Jiang Ning added, pointing at Zhu Jixun and about to open the jar.
Zhu Jixun: "!!"
When Zhu Jixun thought about how he almost saw that kind of thing, he got goosebumps and felt a chill on his back.
