"I was really scared afterwards. The farmers' market where the rioters appeared was the one I frequented!"
Ru Mei clutched her chest, her face filled with alarm.
"That day I was originally going to take the children grocery shopping, but Huo Zhenduo suddenly came back from school and said he would take me out to eat..."
"If I were in that situation, and I didn't have the skills of that policewoman, my child might have been snatched away!"
The crime scene was in a small alley behind the farmers' market. The alley was usually deserted, and Ru Mei would often pass through it to take a shortcut.
If it really is her, she'll be completely helpless.
As Qin Hanshu listened to Ru Mei's account, some guesses formed in his mind.
What a coincidence that he just happened to snatch the job from the female police officer? It happened to coincide with the time when Rumei was buying groceries, and Rumei just happened not to be there.
Huo Zhenduo said he had been sending people to keep an eye on Hu Wenwen's every move, and that Hu Wenwen was probably behind this. Huo Zhenduo decided to play along.
But why did Hu Wenwen go to all that trouble to snatch Huo Zhenduo's child? Wasn't her goal to use Huo Zhenduo to turn her career around? Snatching the child would only make her an enemy.
Actually, the situation at the time was not about snatching a child at all.
Having been a bachelor for over forty years, when Hu Wenwen said she was willing to marry him, his blood boiled. He didn't care about anything else and naturally did whatever Hu Wenwen asked him to do.
Hu Wenwen told him to ruin that woman's reputation, and he did as she asked.
A single woman with a child walks through a nearly deserted alley.
No matter how thin he is, he is still a man. He was able to be strong with Hu Wenwen, and he could also be strong with this woman who looks much more delicate than Hu Wenwen.
Unexpectedly, the person he had chosen beforehand somehow changed, transforming from a delicate girl into someone incredibly strong, who easily overpowered him and knocked him to the ground.
A bachelor lives a life of confusion and ignorance, rarely interacting with others, and even struggles to speak fluently.
The only time he felt happy in his life was when he forced Hu Wenwen in the cabin.
He had no idea that such joy existed in the world, so joyful that he would gladly die right then and there.
Hu Wenwen, the woman who brought him joy, he was grateful to her.
After being arrested, the bachelor was charged with human trafficking, since he was knocked to the ground before he could even get close to the female police officer.
However, the bachelor didn't mention Hu Wenwen. No matter how he was asked, he remained blank and speechless, looking foolish.
When Hu Wenwen learned that the bachelor had been arrested and sentenced as a human trafficker, she was on tenterhooks for several days, fearing that he would expose her.
She only felt relieved when a month had passed and no one had come looking for her.
The bachelor wasn't coming back, so Hu Wenwen moved the leftover food and a tattered quilt for warmth from next door to her own room.
He was pondering what to do next.
Without a bachelor to do her bidding, she had no way to deal with the slut who seduced Huo Zhenduo, so she could only suppress her hatred for the time being.
Just as Hu Wenwen was hesitating about whether to go and find Huo Zhenduo again, an unexpected incident occurred.
Every two or three days, Hu Wenwen would go to the nearby vegetable market to pick up rotten vegetable leaves that others didn't want. She didn't need vegetable coupons; she could get a lot for just two or three cents, enough to last her two or three days.
As it got dark and she estimated that the vegetable market was about to close up shop, Hu Wenwen set off from the small wooden house.
Hu Wenwen and the bachelor's cabin was located on the edge of the dock, a place rarely visited by people, and far from the vegetable market.
Hu Wenwen walked along the road, complaining as she reminisced about her wealthy life in her previous life. Just when she was starting to feel better, the sight of the dirty and messy environment around her brought her back to reality.
She looked at the increasingly dark sky and suddenly had a strange feeling, as if her life was like the sky, growing ever darker.
Until utter darkness descends.
A cool breeze blew by, and Hu Wenwen shivered.
She straightened her clothes and quickened her pace.
Hu Wenwen spent two cents at the vegetable market to buy two large bundles of vegetables, and then walked faster toward the cabin.
The cabin was also electrified, and she left it on when she left. Although the light bulb was low wattage, it was enough to illuminate the darkness and give her a sense of security.
The weather had really turned cold, and Hu Wenwen felt the wind blowing on her back was bone-chilling.
It's alright, at least the cabin can keep out some of the wind and rain.
She'd go find Huo Zhenduo tomorrow! She refused to believe that her destined marriage was inferior to that vixen who suddenly appeared out of nowhere!
Hu Wenwen walked toward the dim, swaying light.
Getting closer and closer.
But the light, so close yet so far, she could never reach.
Hu Wenwen's consciousness gradually blurred, and with only a last bit of willpower, she kept her eyes open, staring at the light in the cabin.
However, there are many things that willpower cannot resist.
As the large hand covering her mouth slowly moved away, her eyes involuntarily closed.
In the moments before losing consciousness, Hu Wenwen thought of the cave dwelling of Chen Tieshu's family, which had imprisoned her for seven years.
She risked her life to escape the cave dwelling and ventured into Jiangcheng.
She thought that she would finally escape her misery and be able to turn her life around.
Little did she know that the bustling city of Jiangcheng would be the gateway to her hell.
That night, a smuggling ship sailed to Southeast Asia.
A few days later, a woman named Hu Wenwen appeared in a mining area in Southeast Asia.
The mining area is mostly populated by men, with only a few women who serve as service providers for the miners.
Compared to the Loess Plateau, this place is truly a place where no one can help you even if you cry out to heaven or earth.
There was no escape.
