In the past, there were only state-owned restaurants and noodle shops on this side of the old street. Since the policy reform last year, more and more individual businesses have flourished, and several soup noodle shops have appeared on this side of the old street, and the taste is very good.
Liang Su found a seat and sat down. Shen Congji, probably to avoid suspicion, sat at another table.
She felt a little upset and kept her head down without saying anything.
After all, Shen Congji was prejudiced against her, and she knew it in her heart.
This feeling is like having a small thorn in your heart. It doesn’t hurt, but it’s very annoying.
The pork offal soup noodles came up, and she lowered her head and started eating it in small bites.
Shen Congji ate very quickly and finished the meal in a short while. He ate two bowls in a row before stopping.
He paid first, and when Liang Su finished eating and paid, he found that he had paid for his meal as well.
Liang Su silently stuffed two cents into his pocket, and he accepted it without refusing.
The afternoon is the hottest time of the day. By the time they arrived at the place, Liang Su was already sweating profusely and felt dizzy.
If it weren't for the motivation given to her by bringing down Lin Yuelong, she would have given up by now.
But the hard work was worth it, and they really gained something.
One of Zhang Qi's friends was named Duan Xiaomei, who initially denied having any connection with Zhang Qi.
Later, when she heard Liang Su say that it was Mrs. Lin who told her to do so, she didn't know what she was thinking about, so she admitted it and took them to where Zhang Qi lived.
On the way, Liang Su asked, "Zhang Qi quit her job. How have she and her husband survived these years?"
Duan Xiaomei's eyes dimmed, "You'll know when you get there."
She took Liang Su and Shen Congji all the way to a place full of junk.
There is a garbage disposal plant next to it, and the smell is terrible.
Duan Xiaomei seemed to be used to it and knocked on the door.
"Xiaoqi, I'm here to see you."
Soon, someone came out to open the door.
Liang Su had never seen Zhang Qi, but Jin Yuanxiu had described her to her.
She said, "When I met Zhang Qi, she was only a year or two older than you. She had some baby fat on her face and was a very sunny, delicate and cute little girl."
Liang Su felt a pang of discomfort in his heart. He simply couldn't associate the emaciated woman in front of him with the words "delicate and cute".
She was too thin, and her smooth skin was marred by several prominent scars on her face.
"Xiaoqi, they are sent by Madam Lin to look for you."
When Jin Yuanxiu was mentioned, Zhang Qi's numb expression began to fluctuate.
"Sister Jin..."
Liang Su nodded, "Yes, Mrs. Lin asked me to come find you. She went to the textile factory and found out that you had quit your job, so she asked me to come find you."
Zhang Qi hurriedly asked, "Is Sister Jin okay? They all say Sister Jin is crazy, but I don't believe it. It must be that beast Lin Wensheng..."
Liang Su interrupted her: "If you have anything to say, can you go in and talk?"
Zhang Qi hesitated and looked back.
"Is your husband at home?" Shen Congji asked sharply.
Zhang Qi nodded and said, "Just keep your voice down, don't disturb him."
Liang Su nodded and walked in side by side with Shen Congji.
The inside is actually similar to the outside, and the smell of the garbage dump is not overpowering at all.
How can your health be good if you live in such a place for a long time?
There is no light in the room, and if you don't turn on the lights, it's almost like night time.
Zhang Qi poured them both some water and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, my family isn't well off, and I'm sorry for putting you through this."
Liang Su shook his head, held her wrist and asked her to sit down.
"Zhang Qi, Mrs. Lin is very worried about you and asked me to ask why you quit your job. Did something happen?"
Zhang Qi didn't know what he was thinking about, he lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Although he couldn't see her expression clearly, Liang Su could feel the sinisterness in her heart.
It's like a person who is always covered by dark clouds and cannot see the sunshine.
"Zhang Qi..."
Zhang Qi glanced at Shen Congji and said in a hoarse voice, "Is he your boyfriend?"
"No." This was Shen Congji's answer.
His eagerness to distance himself from the matter gave Liang Su a heart attack.
She said calmly, "No. He's a soldier. Mrs. Lin asked him to come and investigate Lin Wensheng and his son. You can trust him."
Zhang Qi suddenly sneered, "Trust? Lin Wensheng is so powerful in Cheng County, you ask me to trust him?"
Liang Su gritted his teeth and said, "It is precisely because of what they did that Comrade Shen came to investigate. You can tell us everything they did to you and why you quit your job."
Zhang Qi remained silent, then suddenly stood up, lit the candle and placed it on the coffee table.
The room was lit with warm light.
She suddenly unbuttoned her shirt, whose original color could no longer be identified, and took it off.
She was only wearing a vest underneath, and Shen Congji looked away without any expression.
Just this one glance allowed him to see the horrific scars on Zhang Qi's body.
Every piece of exposed skin was not intact, and hideous scars were winding up everywhere.
Liang Su was terrified and covered his lips with his hands.
"Were these all done by Lin Wensheng?" she said in a hoarse voice, her voice trembling uncontrollably.
Zhang Qi put on his clothes numbly, his tone calm, "It was Lin Yuelong. Lin Yuelong killed someone, and Lin Wensheng helped him pass the knife and cleaned up his mess. This is no secret."
Zhang Qi smiled coldly, "Now that you know, how can you help me?"
Liang Su paused. Zhang Qi didn't believe that anyone could defeat Lin Yuelong.
"Don't tell Sister Jin about me, just say you didn't see me."
Zhang Qi didn't want to talk to them any more, so he opened the door and asked them to leave.
Liang Su and Shen Congji walked out of the house, but the dazzling sunlight could not shine into the dark house.
After walking in silence for a while, Duan Xiaomei said, "Can you really help her bring Lin Yuelong to justice?"
Shen Congji said in a deep voice: "As long as he has indeed committed a crime."
He has a stern aura and seems difficult to approach, but he gives people a very reliable feeling.
"After leaving the machinery factory, Zhang Qi went to work at a textile factory, where she was later raped by Lin Yuelong. She was already married at the time, and her husband had become paralyzed after an accident, so she couldn't be without a job. But Lin Yuelong wouldn't let her go, and he repeatedly approached her, even in front of her husband..."
Duan Xiaomei burst into tears, what a beast, what a beast!
"Later, she had no other choice but to quit her job and move. But it was no use. Lin Yuelong was often on the street, and most of those street urchins were his spies. He soon found Zhang Qi again, but where could she hide with her paralyzed husband?"
"Her husband didn't want to be a burden, so he gave up his life several times, but was rescued in time. Fortunately, he was saved..."
Later, Duan Xiaomei gave her an idea and she moved to a less crowded place like the garbage disposal plant and made a living by collecting scrap. Only then did she never see Lin Yuelong come to her house again.
Maybe he really couldn't find it, or maybe he was tired of it and had a new goal.
Shen Congji glanced at Liang Su and sneered: "Even so, you still like him."
Duan Xiaomei was surprised, "Lin Yuelong is your boyfriend? Are you blind?"
Liang Su's face froze, and he turned and left without explaining.
