Chapter 230 Everyone's a Villain
"Go to Shancheng at 2 PM tomorrow and report the case to the Dongcheng District Police Station. Everything will be as you wish then."
[Is it really that accurate? As expected of Master Gu, the time and place are described so clearly.]
If I'm not mistaken, this shouldn't have happened any earlier or later; that's the mystery of metaphysics.
"Do you understand? You can't be even a minute early or late to the exact time and place I've given you."
Xu Qianqian nodded vigorously.
"No... who are you talking to? I've raised you all these years, are you really going to abandon me? I'm paralyzed in bed now, unable to move. Can't you wait until I recover before leaving?"
Zhang Chou Nu made a final attempt to persuade him to stay. No matter who the person on the phone was, as long as she recovered, Xu Qianqian would have to marry him, even if she didn't want to.
Having accepted the 300,000 yuan dowry, this money absolutely cannot be returned.
"Zhang Ugly Girl, you better pray that I can find my biological parents tomorrow, otherwise you can stay in bed for the rest of your life and see who serves you."
Xu Qianqian thanked her and then hung up.
[Sigh! Poor girl, she's too kind-hearted. If I had left before, I definitely would have charged her interest. From what she said, she wants to come back after finding her biological parents.]
[Having lived such a dark and dreary life in the pigsty, she's no longer a normal person. If we can really find her biological parents, I hope they can take her for a full medical checkup and give her some proper counseling.]
At the same age as her, I was only a freshman in college, and the things she had experienced were things I had never heard of in all these years.
Even online, it's not there. This world is truly too dark; many things, if not exposed, I would never hear about them in my entire life.
[How can such a wicked person live so long? Master, will this ugly woman Zhang suffer retribution in her next life?]
"The time isn't over yet. We'll know tomorrow. Don't worry, she'll come back online."
[Good, good, it's good to have a follow-up. What I fear most is that the calculation is only halfway done and then there's no further progress.]
"If one more person comes, we'll log off, and that'll be the end of today."
The next afternoon.
The familiar account connected, and all netizens were looking forward to her reunion with her family. Unexpectedly, when they saw Xu Qianqian, she didn't seem to be at the police station.
It's 2 PM now. According to what Master Gu said yesterday, she should go to the police station at this time, and then she will be able to find her biological parents.
Now it seems that this is not the case.
"Master, I'm sorry!" The woman's voice was choked with emotion. The environment there seemed to be bad, and the lighting was also poor.
[Wait a minute! Where's the blind date scene? Or is she being held captive?]
“Master Gu, I never imagined this family could be so shameless.”
I had still retained a shred of kindness, but I never expected this family to go so far.
"So! Do you still feel that leaving would be letting this family down?"
"No way! I'd rather die than forgive that family!"
After hanging up the phone, Xu Qianqian left her nominal adoptive mother at the hospital and returned to her so-called home.
She remembered that her adoptive mother had a particularly fine jade pendant. That thing was unlike anything in their family; it was most likely something she had taken from herself. That jade pendant was the only thing that could prove her identity.
That way, it will be easier to find my parents if I go to the mountain city tomorrow.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped into that dilapidated courtyard, she was locked out by her nominal father and grandmother.
They took her back to a room where there was a wedding dress.
In an instant, she understood everything.
It turns out that the three of them were in cahoots; even if their so-called foster mother was bedridden, they knew they were doomed.
She struggled desperately, but how could one person fight against an old man and a man?
The two locked her up and left her to reflect on her actions alone. Fortunately, Master Gu had said that evil people couldn't see her live stream, so they didn't know that she already knew about her background and didn't take away her phone.
As for Zhang Chounu's phone, she took it out of the hospital and threw it in the trash can.
As the night passed and it became noon, the two still made no move. It was almost two o'clock when she grew anxious.
Thinking she could sneak out, she pried open the window, ran into the yard, and was then locked back in by the two men.
This time, she was beaten again. The old woman always looked exhausted, but it turned out she was just as good as Zhang Chounu when it came to fighting.
She was punched and kicked, and now her body is covered in bruises; the wounds that were bandaged yesterday have been torn open again.
They threw her back into the house, and only then did she have a chance to reconnect to the live stream.
"Master, what should I do now? It's already two o'clock. If I miss this time, will I ever see them again in this lifetime?"
"It's okay, don't do anything, just stay inside and wait patiently, you'll find out soon enough."
A series of aged curses and hurried footsteps approached from afar.
They could even hear the man's voice trying to stop them.
The closed door opened, and the blinding light made Xu Qianqian quickly cover her eyes.
Several policemen came in and untied the ropes binding him.
"Woman, are you alright?"
After removing her hands, Xu Qianqian glanced at the person who had come in and excitedly shook her head.
"Thank you, Uncle. I'm fine."
[How strange, why did the police arrive? Judging from her expression, she was full of surprise and excitement. She probably had no idea, just like us, that someone was coming to rescue her. Who did this? What a coincidence!]
[Foolish! Who else could it be but our clever and adorable Master Gu!]
After being rescued, Xu Qianqian followed several men in hats to the mountain city!
Although it was two hours late, they quickly contacted a family after they told the police everything that had happened.
Not long after, a couple arrived at the police station with a child who was about ten years old.
The two immediately spotted the girl sitting in a chair, lost in thought. The poor child hadn't changed her clothes, her face was sallow, and her body was covered in scars.
Even looking at her profile like this, the woman recognized her as her child at a glance.
"It's our child! Who the hell abused her like this?"
The woman rushed up and hugged Xu Qianqian tightly, bursting into tears.
Suddenly finding herself in a warm embrace, Xu Qianqian felt a little uncomfortable.
Eighteen years have passed, and no one has ever held me like this before. Her embrace feels so warm.
It was so comfortable that Xu Qianqian wanted to fall asleep.
After eighteen years, their entire family was finally reunited.
The man stood to one side, wiping away tears. "Child, how did you end up like this? Did that family inflict these injuries on you?"
The woman released Xu Qianqian, lifted her arm, and revealed fresh and old wounds, each scar shocking to the eye.
"I'm sorry, my child. It's all my fault. I failed to protect you and lost you."
Xu Qianqian held their hands, and her younger brother came over and also held her hand.
“The past is the past. We should all live well from now on. As for those evil people, I will go back and they will be punished for their evil deeds.”
"We'll go with my sister!"
"Um!"
Xu Qianqian revealed a smile she had never shown before. At this moment, she had finally been reborn.
