She's getting old. Today, she first chatted with Zhang Wei until late at night, then got up early to take her daughter and granddaughter to her son's house, and then was caught by Ding Hai's men and brought here, where her hands and feet were tied with hemp rope.
She was completely exhausted by this point and couldn't even make a loud call.
Upon hearing Gao Yalan's weak voice, Zhang Wei couldn't help but feel alarmed. "Mom, are you alright?"
She was terrified.
I was young and naive, and have been away from my hometown for over twenty years. Now that I've finally managed to see my mother, I haven't been able to fulfill my filial duties, and of course, nothing can happen to her!
On the other side, Gao Yalan seemed not to have heard what Zhang Wei said. She had just woken up, but then fell asleep again due to exhaustion.
Life seems to have passed by in a flash. Scenes from the past seem to replay in Gao Yalan's mind.
The environment was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, yet Zhang Wei still called out to Gao Yalan, "Mom, hold on, don't fall asleep, we'll be able to get out soon!"
Unfortunately, her voice failed to wake Gao Yalan, but instead alerted the group of people guarding them outside the door.
"You're awake? Dude, I've been waiting for you to wake up, you stinky woman!"
"You can really sleep! Do you know how long we've been waiting for you?"
"Now we're going to have some real fun!"
In the darkness, just listening to the men's nauseating voices, Zhang Wei could almost imagine what they looked like—they must be incredibly lewd and greasy.
"Help me untie the ropes first," Zhang Wei said, forcing herself to comply, despite her nausea. "Otherwise, how will we have any fun later?"
"We're exactly missing someone like you who knows how to handle things!" The men burst into laughter.
Without a sound, they tacitly untied Zhang Wei's ropes, thinking to themselves, "She's just a woman; even if she's untied, how much trouble can she cause?"
No one expected that as soon as they untied the ropes binding Zhang Wei's hands and feet, she raised her leg and swept it towards the men.
In the darkness, visibility was already poor, and the men were completely unprepared. After Zhang Wei swept her over, they all fell to the ground, clutching their waists and groaning in pain.
"Damn it, that bitch ambushed us! Guys, get her!"
"Are you sure?" Zhang Wei took out the silver needles she carried with her. The needles emitted an eerie, cold light under the moonlight streaming through the window. Without waiting for the men's reply, she swiftly and forcefully inserted the silver needles into their acupoints.
"Ouch!" The men in the room cried out in pain. None of them had ever told them that this woman knew both martial arts and acupuncture!
They watched in horror as the cold light flashed before their eyes once more, and they begged for mercy repeatedly, "Heroine, spare our lives! Heroine, spare our lives!"
"We brothers are innocent too. The one who really wanted to harm you was Ding Hai."
"Oh!" They were now terrified that Zhang Wei's silver needles would fall on them again, so they quickly betrayed Ding Hai.
Of course, this is just a delaying tactic.
They would let this situation pass for now, and they would never let this woman cause trouble in front of Ding Hai, so Ding Hai would have no way of knowing that they had betrayed him.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei stopped what she was doing. "Ding Hai? Why would he do this?"
Why would this man, whom she only knew from that one visit to Zhang Zhan's house and had only met once, suddenly target her?
"Who knows? Maybe you offended him before. Besides, he's always been petty." The man closest to Zhang Wei answered her while reaching into his pocket for a small knife.
"Go to hell!!"
With a "whoosh," Zhang Wei didn't even have time to react before a strong smell of blood filled the air. The waves of pain in her abdomen made it difficult for her to even breathe normally.
"You bitch! You dared to hit me so hard just now!" The men who were just lying on the ground begging for mercy now all stood up and stomped hard on Zhang Wei's wound as if venting their anger.
The kick was so jarring that Zhang Wei's eyes rolled back and she fainted.
However, after stomping their feet a few times, the men were suddenly kicked hard in the buttocks and fell to the ground in a sorry state.
"Which fool dares to mess with me?" Before one of the men could finish speaking, all the lights in the room were turned on. The man turned his head and suddenly stammered, "Mr. Ding...Mr. Ding."
He was so frightened that he trembled as he uttered those two words.
They didn't know when Ding Hai arrived, but if he overheard them betraying him, they'd probably lose their lives today.
However, Ding Hai's expression was dozens of times more unpleasant than his!
The reason was simple. The moment Ding Hai entered the room, he first saw Gao Yalan unconscious in the corner, and then noticed Zhang Wei, whose abdomen had been stabbed in the center of the room.
"Mr. Zhang...you...please let me...explain..." Ding Hai was completely stuttering. Before he could finish a sentence, Zhang Zhan's angry fist had already landed on his face.
This time, Zhang Zhan didn't hold back. Ding Hai felt like he was seeing stars and begged for mercy. "Mr. Zhang, have mercy!"
Zhang Zhan ignored him completely, continuing to pummel Ding Hai's face with punch after punch. "I told you I'd make you pay!"
Only after Ding Hai lost consciousness did Lu Yunzhi arrive to stop Zhang Zhan from continuing. "Uncle, if you go all out, you'll be implicated in this too. The most important thing now is to save Grandma and Mom!"
Upon hearing these words, Zhang Zhan's previously clouded eyes cleared. He nodded wearily.
Zhang Wei and Gao Yalan were rushed to the hospital and both survived. Zhang Zhan stood outside the ward, recalling his conversation with Shen Qianqian in the car earlier that day. He had asked her, "Why didn't you contact me sooner after this happened?"
