"That night, I had already sneaked out. But then I realized that I had forgotten to take the documents my father had asked for."
It was already 10:30 p.m.
I figured Zhao Xiaopei must have already gone home, since it's so cold outside.
At this point, Li Xiangjie suddenly covered his face with both hands, his voice trembling with uncontrollable sobs.
"I...I...I didn't expect this either..."
The moonlight that night was exceptionally bright.
As Li Xiangjie hummed a little tune and walked out of the factory with his documents in his hand, he suddenly saw a person lying not far from him.
Li Xiangjie's heart skipped a beat, thinking that someone had suddenly fallen ill and was lying on the road.
Taking a few steps closer, in the bright moonlight, Li Xiangjie immediately recognized that the person lying on the ground like a corpse was Zhao Xiaopei.
Why was Zhao Xiaopei lying disheveled on the cold road?!
Li Xiangjie's heart was pounding like a drum, his mouth was dry, and his head was spinning.
He rushed over in a panic.
Zhao Xiaopei was disheveled, her face was bruised and purple, blood was dripping from the corner of her mouth, her eyes were swollen and narrowed to slits, and her hair was a mess.
It was clear that she had just suffered inhuman abuse.
Tears streamed down Li Xiangjie's face from between his fingers, and then he slapped himself twice hard.
That slap was really hard; his cheek swelled up instantly.
"I'm not a fucking human!"
It's all my fault!
It's all my fault!
I wish I had let her go home earlier!
Then she won't encounter such a thing... Waaah..."
Zhao Xiaopei was unconscious at the time.
Li Xiangjie took off his clothes and covered her with them, then gently shook her awake.
Zhao Xiaopei's gaze was initially blank, then filled with boundless fear. When she realized that the person in front of her was Li Xiangjie, she suddenly burst into tears as if she had gone mad.
Li Xiangjie didn't dare let anyone know.
He first helped Zhao Xiaopei, who was wrapped in his cotton-padded coat, into the house, and then immediately went to the office to get a hunting rifle and searched the surrounding area carefully.
Of course, he gained nothing.
Li Xiangjie rode his bicycle and took Zhao Xiaopei home.
When Zhao Xiaopei's parents saw their daughter's miserable state, their vision went black, and they grabbed whatever they could find to beat Li Xiangjie.
While hiding, Li Xiangjie recounted the whole story, then said with particular earnestness:
"Uncle, Aunt! I know that I must have made a mistake in what happened."
But Xiao Pei has been bullied, and we can't just sit here silently. Let's go call the police!
That rapist certainly hasn't gone very far.
There is still evidence on Zhao Xiaopei. If they report it to the police now, they should be able to find the criminal quickly.
However, when he mentioned calling the police, Zhao Xiaopei's parents fell silent.
In this day and age, is it a good thing for a woman to lose her virginity?
Even if the criminal is caught and brought to justice.
But what will happen to my daughter in the future?
Who else could marry her?
Even the Zhao family will be subject to gossip and criticism.
Li Xiangjie repeatedly asked to call the police, but Zhao's father stopped him.
Zhao's father's face was as cold as ice as he threatened Li Xiangjie fiercely.
"This matter must be kept secret! If you dare to spread this around, I'll call the police and say that you, Li Xiangjie, bullied my daughter!"
And just like that, Li Xiangjie was kicked out.
"Second brother, second brother... I really didn't expect Xiao Pei to get pregnant again later."
Now she's back to this crazy, erratic state!
During this period, Li Xiangjie secretly went to look around the Zhao family's neighborhood and inquired about Zhao Xiaopei from the neighbors.
However, the Zhao family kept it very secret, and no word of it leaked out.
"I thought, I thought everything was fine."
Li Xiangjie covered his face and cried.
He genuinely believed that Zhao Xiaopei had come to complain to Li Xiangdong, and he was afraid that Li Xiangdong would beat him, so subconsciously he wanted to run away.
He truly hadn't expected Zhao Xiaopei to have gone this far insane.
Li Xiangdong slammed his hand on the table. "You're really confused!"
Utterly foolish!
How utterly foolish!
Is your brain filled with shit?!
Li Xiangjie lowered his head in frustration, enduring Li Xiangdong's scathing remarks.
"Second brother, it happened so suddenly, I really didn't know what to do."
Li Xiangdong was exasperated. "Back then, we didn't know what to do, and now three or four months have passed, and you still don't know what to do?!"
Is this how you behave?!
Is what you're doing even humane?
This is something only a beast would do!
Li Xiangjie remained silent, looking utterly dejected, like a wooden or clay sculpture.
"Brother, brother, don't sit on the ground, it's cold! Get up and sit in a chair."
Zhao Xiaopei suddenly broke free from Qiao Xiaohuan and ran over to help Li Xiangjie.
Seeing Zhao Xiaopei's dazed and confused state, Li Xiangjie felt an even greater pang of sorrow, and large tears rolled down his cheeks.
He helped Zhao Xiaopei sit down on a chair nearby, then wiped away his tears and comforted her.
"You sit down too, let's both sit down!"
Zhao Xiaopei beamed and snuggled up to Li Xiangjie.
Qiao Xiaohuan was already sobbing uncontrollably in Zhou Hongsong's arms.
Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and according to custom, one should not shed tears.
But when she suddenly learned that her cousin had encountered such a terrible disaster, how could she possibly hold back her emotions!
Qiao Xiaohuan grabbed Zhou Hongsong's collar and said angrily, "We must find the criminal who abused my cousin! I'm going to kill him!"
