Chapter 229 Asking for a Favor
Cheng Wanjin: "We are all men. If you have something to say, just speak up. Don't be so shy like a woman. I don't want to waste my time guessing with you."
Bo Sang: "Mr. Jin is right. Then I will come straight to the point. I was wrong to kill the lumberjack from Mr. Duanmu's family last time. I am borrowing Mr. Jin's favor to ask Mr. Duanmu for mercy. As long as he is willing to put this matter behind him, I will accept the punishment as long as he sets any conditions."
Cheng Wanjin: "I can only promise to do my best to help you with this matter. Although I am also Chinese, I don't have a deep friendship with him. Besides, he has been in China for so many years and may not even know who I am. It is unknown whether I can meet him in person."
Bo Sang: "It's okay, it's okay. As long as you agree to help, it's fine. Don't you Chinese have an old saying that goes, 'Let fate decide and do your best?' Well, regardless of whether this thing can be accomplished or not, I'd like to thank you in advance."
Cheng Wanjin: "It's okay, just wait for my news."
Bo Sang: "Then should I bring you some pangolins or something to replenish your body?"
Cheng Wanjin: "Don't want it anymore? You can tell from his pale face that he's too weak to take any supplements. You're basically going to waste all these good things you've given him. What if he suffocates to death after eating them and has no way to vent them? How am I going to find someone to work for me?"
Bo Sang: "It's okay, it's okay. It's up to Mr. Jin."
Cheng Wanjin: "Then we'll take our leave first."
Bo Sang: "It's dark and the road is hard to walk on. I'll ask my nephew to show you the way."
Fanxi: "Then I'll trouble you, little brother."
Mingli picked up the torch and walked down the mountain, with Fanxi and Cheng Wanjin following closely behind him.
After a lot of effort, they reached the foot of the mountain. Mingli said to Zhang Fanxi, "After you find my mother, be good to her."
Fan nodded in agreement, then got into the car with Cheng Wanjin.
After watching them drive away, Mingli quickly climbed the mountain and arrived at the woodshed.
Su Mo had been waiting inside for a long time. She was extremely happy when she saw Mingli coming.
"Brother Mingli, you are finally here."
"I promised you I would come and I will do it, but I'm busy today and won't have time to make you some poppy water."
"Mingli, I don't really need that anymore, but I pretend to drink it just so I can see you every day."
No wonder the firewood was always difficult to burn recently. It turned out that when she poured out the poppy water, she always accidentally wet the dry firewood nearby.
Mingli: "Then it's just right that I let you go now. Your chances of escaping will be much higher while it's dark."
Su Mo: "I don't have a home anymore, brother. I don't know where to escape to."
Mingli: "Why were you arrested by them?"
Su Mo: "My dad is a drug addict. In order to get drugs, he gave me to that beast Bo Sang. From that day on, my nightmare began. He raped me day and night. When he got tired of me and was afraid that I would run away, he started injecting me with drugs so that I could not leave him."
Mingli sat at the door, looking at the bright moonlight in the sky and said with a smile: "We are really coincidental. My father is also a drug addict and sold me to those pedophiles, but do you know what happened to him later?"
Su Mo shook his head: "I'm too stupid to guess."
Mingli: "I killed him."
Su Mo did not respond to him.
Mingli: "Do you think I'm cruel and rebellious, that I even killed my own father?"
Su Mo: "You are not a cruel person, otherwise you wouldn't be so kind as to help me quit my drug addiction. You did that because you were forced into a corner."
Mingli opened the door of the woodshed with the key and said, "Go away. Don't let me see you again. The world is bigger than this, it's better than staying in a drug den. You are still young. Forget all this. You can find your own way in the future."
Su Mo: "Brother, aren't you leaving?"
Mingli said, "I don't know if I can leave. If you leave, my uncle will just think it's just a lost dog and he won't care since he already got it. But if I leave, he will definitely come back to harm my mother, and with my current abilities, there's no way I can take her away. But I saw him today, and I'm placing all my hopes on him."
Su Mo: "Who is he?"
Mingli: "He's my mom's old lover. Even though my mom married someone else, he still couldn't forget her and even followed her here. This is true love! I believe he has the ability to take good care of my mom and my younger siblings, but... whether he will come to rescue me is hard to say."
Su Mo: "Brother, you should come with me. Can't we go to a place where no one can recognize us and start a new life?"
Ming thought for a moment and shook his head: "I can't gamble with my mother's life. I can't afford to lose this. You should leave quickly! If you delay any longer, no one will be able to leave."
Su Mo finally turned around, glanced at Mingli, and then disappeared into the night.
Mingli went back to his toilet and went to sleep.
Suddenly, he heard a shrill cry and woke up suddenly. He recognized it as Su Mo's voice.
"Oh no! She must have been captured," Mingli thought. He quickly stood up and prepared to rescue her, but then he thought, if he rashly went to rescue her, wouldn't it give people an excuse to accuse him of releasing someone without permission? He remembered Bo Sang's last words to him: "You can beat her or scold her, but you can't let her go."
Mingli gritted her teeth and covered her head with the quilt, pretending not to hear.
At daybreak, Bo Sang dragged the naked Su Mo and threw her in front of Ming Li, saying, "Last night, this bitch actually tried to escape when we weren't paying attention. Damn it, a drug-addicted bitch like you can leave us. You can only be fucked by us for the rest of your life."
Mingli said expressionlessly: "Why did you bring her here?"
Bo Sang: "Did you let this little bitch go?"
Mingli: "It's none of my business."
Bo Sang: "I said this person is yours. Now I have captured her. What do you think we should do?"
Mingli: "Her affairs have nothing to do with me. You can kill her or chop her up as you like."
Bo Sang: "Okay, very good, you are really cruel. She is my nephew. Go and kill her, and then throw her into the mountains to feed the wild dogs."
Mingli knew that this was Bosang testing his loyalty and warning him of the consequences of betraying him.
Su Mo looked at Mingli with tears in her eyes. She did not beg for mercy nor resent him, but only looked reluctant.
He picked up the dagger beside him and was about to slash Su Mo's neck when suddenly a strong earthquake occurred in the mountains.
Mingli was so scared that he dropped everything he had received.
After returning to normal, everyone was still frightened by what had just happened.
Mingli picked up the knife on the ground and planned to continue the execution.
Bo Sang: "Wait."
Mingli: "What's wrong, uncle?"
Bo Sang: "She might be a demon. We haven't had an earthquake here in years. Ever since I met her, everything has gone wrong for me. I almost offended the mountain god just now and he wanted to bring a huge earthquake to kill us."
Mingli: "Then what do you want?"
Bo Sang: "I don't know what to do with her for the moment. Let's lock her up in the woodshed first. I'll ask a master to come and take a look tomorrow. But don't blame your uncle for not telling you first. She's under your care now. If you lose her again, I'll hold you accountable. Do you understand? And don't say your uncle doesn't care about family ties, okay?"
