Rong Shimo touched her wrist with her fingers; her watch was gone. Who had locked her up here?
Her mother had told her that she should not leave an adult's sight when she was out playing. She had stayed at the amusement park the whole time and hadn't gone anywhere else. The only possibility was that someone had knocked her unconscious and taken her away.
The image of a little girl eating a lollipop appeared in her mind, but the little girl didn't take her anywhere else, so she must have been tied up at the trampoline.
Rong Shiyu tried to untie the rope with her fingers, but the knot was too strong, and she couldn't untie it at all.
Grandma must be so worried. Rong Shiyu started to cry. She shouldn't have gone to the trampoline with the little girl she didn't know.
Do Mom and Dad know? Everyone is looking for her. How can she get out while she's tied up?
Did the person who kidnapped her want to exchange her for money? But her father has no money left. What should they do?
Liang Jia put on a mask and glasses outside the door.
Rong Shiyu opened her eyes wide when she heard the door open.
Just then, a thin woman walked over. Only her eyes were visible. This is how human traffickers are portrayed in the news; they cover themselves up tightly to avoid being recognized.
Rong Shiyu was certain she had been kidnapped, and she stared straight at the person.
Seeing that the little girl was awake, Liang Jia deliberately changed her voice: "She's awake."
The woman pinched Rong Shiyu's chin.
The knuckles made a cracking sound from the excessive force, and Rong Shiyu was in pain from the pinch, but she couldn't scream.
Liang Jia removed the cloth from her mouth: "You're so fair and clean, you're obviously a child who's never suffered. Tell me, should I slash your face or break your legs?"
"It would be so much fun if such a beautiful child were disfigured or disabled," the woman said with a twisted laugh.
The voice was shrill, making Rong Shiyu tremble.
"Auntie, why did you arrest me?" Rong Shiyu asked, crying.
Liang Jia pointed the back of the knife at Rong Shiyu: "Because you have good parents."
"Auntie, my dad is out of money. You won't get any money from me. You won't get the money and you'll be arrested. Let me go, and I won't tell anyone." Rong Shiyu negotiated with the strange woman.
Liang Jia sneered: "At such a young age, you can say such things. Look at the children of rich families, their horizons are much broader than ordinary children. Do you know you've been kidnapped? Do you even know you were kidnapped for money?"
Rong Shiyu nodded: "Auntie, when my dad has money, I'll have her give it to you. Right now, he really doesn't have any money. You can search the news if you don't believe me. We're moving into the small house tomorrow."
“What if I said it wasn’t for your dad’s money?” Liang Jia said, emphasizing each word.
Rong Shiyu was dumbfounded.
"You know my dad has no money, are you going to sell me to raise money?" Rong Shiyu asked again. "I'm delicate and eat a lot. If I'm sold to someone else, they won't be able to afford to support me. Auntie, please let me go back. I'll give you whatever price you pay later."
Liang Jia was amused by the little girl: "You know so much. I didn't kidnap you for money, as long as you're crippled."
“Auntie, have I offended you? Why do you want me to be disabled? I never got into conflicts with my classmates when I was in school. Is your child being bullied and you think it was me? Call the teacher and ask her.” Rong Shiyu came to another conclusion.
She was spoiled, but never willful. She never had any conflicts with her classmates at school. She only helped others. So, did your aunt misunderstand?
“It’s you, kid. You’re so annoying with your chatter. Say one more word and I’ll cut your tongue out. It’s not so bad to be mute.” Liang Jia threatened, holding a knife.
Rong Shiyu quickly shut her mouth, staring in horror at the small knife in front of her, unsure of what to do.
The lawyer followed them to a dilapidated house and saw Liang Jia go inside. There were no other residents around, so what was Liang Jia doing there?
He peeked through the crack in the gate and could see nothing but weeds in the yard, but the lawyer could hear a child crying and Liang Jia's voice.
Thinking back to the phone call Liang Jia received, he was certain that Liang Jia was doing something shady.
The lawyer walked to the side, called Liang Jia, and, using the excuse that he had something else to do, asked Liang Jia to come back one more time.
The woman's tone was somewhat impatient: "Later, I just arrived at the club, and I have a face mask on."
Liang Jia was clearly in the dilapidated house, but she lied and said she was at the club.
Fearing that Liang Jia might do something irreversible, the lawyer prepared to knock on the door to stop her.
After finishing the call, Liang Jia silenced her phone, turned on the video camera she was carrying, found a chair, placed the camera on it, and pointed the lens at Rong Shiyu's face. She wanted to record the process of Rong Shiyu being tortured.
Once everything is settled, send the video to Fu Jingsheng and the others so they can take a good look at it.
Rong Shiyu was so scared that she wet her pants. She had read books by psychopathic killers who were not afraid of others knowing; on the contrary, they wanted others to see the whole process of their torture.
I thought I was just being kidnapped for money, but it turns out I encountered a pervert.
Rong Shiyu had no choice but to pray for a miracle, for a hero to descend from the sky and save her.
Liang Jia first laid the groundwork in front of the camera.
She said she would carve the word "prisoner" on the child's face, cut off her tongue, and finally break her legs...
A picture immediately came to Rong Shiyu's mind.
While the woman was still imagining the scene of Rong Shiyu being slowly sliced to death, there was a knock on the courtyard gate.
She stopped talking and pricked up her ears. This place was remote, with no one around for two kilometers. Could she have misheard?
The lawyer stood at the door and knocked a few times. When no one answered, he knocked a few more times, harder.
Sure enough, someone arrived.
Liang Jia closed the door and walked into the yard. She peeked through the crack and saw a figure outside the door.
She pretended that no one was inside and did not respond.
But the person outside said, "Miss Liang, I know you're inside. Open the door quickly, or I will definitely tell Mr. Lu everything."
"So it's a lawyer." Liang Jia frowned. He actually followed her. She blamed herself for being careless.
Liang Jia opened the door, but wouldn't let the lawyer in.
"You were following me?" Liang Jia said.
“Ms. Liang, I heard crying inside. Don’t do anything foolish, you’ve tied up that little girl. How am I supposed to explain this to my husband?” the lawyer advised.
Liang Jia said unhappily, "You can pretend you didn't see anything. What I do is my own business, and you don't need to care so much."
The lawyer forced his way in, pushed open the dilapidated main door, and sure enough, saw the little girl. He stood in front of her.
Liang Jia tried to make him leave, but how could she possibly be stronger than a man?
The lawyer stood motionless, his eyes filled with determination to take the child away.
Rong Shiyu never expected that someone would actually come to rescue her.
She wanted to speak.
Liang Jia took the knife and was about to ask the lawyer to leave, but the knife was snatched away.
"Miss Liang, I'm here today, so you can forget about hurting this child. It's not too late to turn back now."
Liang Jia confronted the lawyer for a while, but finding herself at a complete disadvantage, she had no choice but to abandon Rong Shiyu and leave from the suburbs.
