Shekh restrained Chai Anan, "What did this Boss Huang do to her?"
"I……"
"He lied to me! He lied to me!!" Chai Anan interrupted Shao Dong, his face contorted with rage, his entire body trembling with fury.
"That guy surnamed Huang promised to take me away from here, support my studies until I graduate from university, and that he would not let anyone know what happened to me and would help me get rid of that mother and son. I did so much to leave here, but he lied to me, he lied to me!"
Tears of blood streamed down Chai Anan's face. "I don't want to stay here. I want to leave. I've done so much, why haven't I succeeded?"
Lin Xiaohe rushed out from the side: "If Teacher Qin were still here, you would have had a chance to leave. You made a mistake, you lost that chance, and you ruined everyone else's chance!"
“It would be a real mistake if I didn’t do that! You have no idea what kind of life I’m living. That woman arranged a marriage for me with a cripple just for the sake of my son, and I have to give birth to a son to get that money. Why? Why are some people born to live so well, while I can’t? I can’t wait any longer. If I don’t leave now, I’ll never be able to leave!”
Chai Anan's voice was muffled and unclear, "Besides, I've already given my body away. What will those people think of me if they find out? I won't have a good life if I marry into that family. Anyway, I've already lost my innocence, so I have to leave here..."
"Your thoughts..." Meng Chengxi didn't know how to judge. For a man like him to say that chastity wasn't important seemed a bit like talking without understanding the situation.
Moreover, he cannot speak for others. As far as he knows, there are indeed those who do not value it, and there are indeed those who value it very much, and the proportion of the latter who are hidden is not low.
“Chai Anan, the person who said these things to you is just trying to put a shackle on you. Whether your body is innocent or not is not that important. What matters most is that your heart is innocent.”
Shi Jinzhe said with a serious tone, "You hate the preference for sons over daughters, want to escape your family of origin, you want equality and a bright future, but that man surnamed Huang doesn't even have those things himself, so why should he make demands of you? Think about it carefully, isn't that the truth?"
After saying this, he softened his voice, "Perhaps in your eyes, women in the mountains endure humiliation and their lives just pass by like that."
But in the outside world, many women choose to break up gracefully with unsuitable partners, even those with children. As long as you are upright, honest, and capable, what others think is irrelevant. The key is to respect yourself.
Chai Anan looked up. "Is that so... But Boss Huang..."
"Don't listen to scumbags."
Shi Jinzhe added in his heart, "Of course, don't believe what he says."
“Actually, Teacher Qin said something similar…” Lin Xiaohe’s disappointment was even greater than when she learned she was dead. She tugged at Li Xin, signaling her to nod as well.
However, Li Xin did nothing, only staring coldly at Chai Anan.
Shi Jinzhe didn't interfere much. His words of comfort were meant to get Chai Anan to talk. She was indeed pitiful, but that was no reason for her to betray others and harm them.
Especially since it wasn't just one life lost. Li Xin's death was indirectly related to her. She was the one who single-mindedly and obsessively protected this outlaw, while innocent people who had done nothing wrong to her suffered extreme torture.
She felt it was unfair and unfair, but who would be responsible for the unfair treatment of Lin Xiaohe and Li Xin?
They all wanted to leave the mountains, but Chai Anan chose the worst possible path.
Thinking this to himself, Shi Jinzhe still maintained a concerned expression on his face, "You did all this on the orders of Boss Huang. Did Shao Dong participate in the murder?"
“Hmm…” Chai Anan’s emotions stabilized a bit. “He also asked me to trick Teacher Qin into going to the small building.”
"Where is Qin Jingyu?"
“Dead…” Black blood seeped from Li Xin’s body. Speaking seemed to be a very difficult thing for her, but she still continued to speak.
“That group of people came again. Shao Dong forcibly took me away from the classroom and locked me in the small building.”
Li Xin pointed at Chai Anan, "She used me as an excuse to trick Teacher Qin away. They didn't originally intend to kill Teacher Qin, they just locked her up because she's from the city and her parents would come looking for her if she disappeared."
"them?"
"Besides Shao Dong, there's also that Boss Huang, and a few other people who are charitable."
"There are quite a few murderers." Shekh thought the human world was truly fascinating.
In such a small mountain village, so many things she couldn't understand could appear. "How did Qin Jingyu die?"
"She committed suicide," Shao Dong blurted out, trying his best to distance himself from the cause of Qin Jingyu's death.
"Hmm?" Shekh turned around and threw Shao Dong into the center of the basement.
"Qin Jingyu committed suicide. She heard Li Xin's cries for help in the room, as well as Chai Anan's reasons for killing Lin Xiaohe and deceiving Li Xin."
Li Xin said, "They knew I wanted to be a witness, but Boss Huang couldn't bear to part with me and wanted me to submit, so he tortured me for a long time."
Shi Jinzhe suddenly realized: "It's guilt and self-blame. Qin Jingyu blamed herself for all of this."
He suddenly understood what the knocking on the door that night meant: "Did Qin Jingyu hear with her own ears that you killed Li Xin?"
"yes…"
"That's really true. No wonder she kept knocking on the door. Hearing that her student was suffering, she must have really wanted to go out and save her."
However, Qin Jingyu's strength was very weak after becoming a ghost. She probably retained some habits from her life, such as knocking on doors politely. As a ghost, she only remembered to go out and save people.
Meng Chengxi felt his mind was a mess. "I'm a little confused. Let me sort this out again."
Was it Chai Anan who killed Lin Xiaohe to escape the mountains, then informed Shao Dong and Boss Huang, and under their instructions, deceived Qin Jingyu using Li Xin as a pretext? Unexpectedly, Qin Jingyu, unable to accept Li Xin's suffering, committed suicide out of guilt?
"That's right."
"No one can kill Chai Anan anymore, unless..."
Shi Jinzhe gave him a reassuring look, "She was also silenced, by Shao Dong and his group."
If a girl who is willing to kill for a purpose falls out with someone and is allowed to leave the mountains, Mr. Huang might not feel at ease.
If these things were exposed, the impact would be enormous. Nobody wants to be exposed for a scandal, just like how the Cheng family, seeing him emerge alive from the game, wanted to push him to the brink.
Li Xin: "After Teacher Qin and I died, they threw us into the back mountain near the school. I can't go too far from the school. Teacher Qin was unconscious, but someone accidentally brought us out yesterday, which is how I got here."
Sheh discovered that, apart from Lin Xiaohe, all of them were dead in the small building. She lashed out at Shao Dong, asking, "What happened to that small building?"
