Seeing that they had money, the old bachelor wanted to earn more and enthusiastically talked about the Gong family.
"When that woman was first bought, she was incredibly tender! The Gong family liked her very much and treated her with utmost care, not even letting her do any work!"
"However... after that woman tried to escape a few times, she was dragged back and beaten half to death until she gave birth to a son, at which point the Gong family released her. She tried to escape again later, but was caught and had one of her legs broken. She was also chained up and made to sleep with pigs at night."
"Over the years, she has given birth to three children. Now her figure is completely out of shape and she's unrecognizable! The Gong family doesn't treat her like a human being at all. After she had the children, they raised her like an animal!"
"Hey, what do you want with her? Could it be her family?"
Upon realizing this possibility, the old bachelor covered his mouth in horror.
It’s over!
If their village offends a powerful figure, won't they also suffer the consequences?
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. If you keep talking, I'll really pay you to take your dog's life!"
Uncle Zhou threatened him menacingly.
Old Master Chi, unable to bear it any longer, kicked him down the hillside!
"De—"
"De—"
"De—"
The old bachelor rolled down the slope, and the bodyguards behind him all stepped aside to make way for the scoundrel, letting him stumble and tumble down!
Old Master Chi had no patience to listen to his nonsense anymore!
Just a dozen or so steps ahead is the Gong family's residence!
The gate to the Gong family's courtyard was wide open, revealing only three dilapidated bungalows with rotten roofs!
You could smell the stench of feces wafting from the yard from afar; it was utterly disgusting!
Even Uncle Zhou couldn't help but hold his breath, afraid that he would faint from the next bite!
In the courtyard.
A woman was kneeling on the ground with her head down, seemingly busy with something.
Her hair was gray, her back was thin, and her exposed skin was dark and cracked, as frightening as parched land!
Just squatting there gives people a sense of despair, as if they have no will to live!
Upon seeing this, Old Master Chi couldn't help but burst into tears, "Xue'er..."
His pace quickened, from a jog to a sprint!
I finally held the woman's hand!
The woman slowly turned her head, but Old Master Chi was so shocked that he froze on the spot!
"Damn it, where did you come from? How dare you touch my wife!"
An old man with his shirt off walked out of the house, and Uncle Zhou and the security guard quickly stepped forward to hold him down.
Before he could utter his next sentence, he was knocked down by several men and his mouth was gagged.
The face in front of me was completely unfamiliar; it wasn't Tang Xue!
Grandpa Chi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't her, otherwise he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life and would wish to atone with his death!
If it wasn't Xue'er who was abducted, then where did she go?
Hearing Boss Gong's angry roar, the elderly woman screamed in fear and ran inside.
When Grandpa Chi caught up, he discovered it was a pigsty, and the woman was hiding behind two sows!
What a pitiful woman!
She must have suffered inhuman torture to become like this.
Grandpa Chi was afraid of frightening her, so he could only stand outside the pigsty to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, we're here to help you. We can take you out, help you call the police, and then take you home!"
You can reunite with your family!
She seemed to understand what Grandpa Chi was saying, but she was still afraid.
After a standoff of more than ten minutes, she finally limped out!
Perhaps because they hadn't spoken in a long time, the woman's words were jumbled, "Go home... help me..."
"Yes, we are not bad people."
Grandpa Chi slowly backed away, maintaining a safe distance from her to avoid making her feel pressured.
The woman could tell they were completely different from the men in the bachelor village; they were dressed smartly, just like the people she had seen in the city when she was in college.
She couldn't help but kneel down and sob, "I miss home... Waaah... Hit me..."
Her language system had deteriorated, but Grandpa Chi still understood what she meant. "I can get you out of here. No one will ever hit you again. You can definitely go home. I promise you!"
He asked the security guard to take off his coat and drape it over the woman, and the guard carefully helped her walk out.
Just then, the second and third sons of the Gong family returned from outside!
When the two old men saw the strangers, they grabbed their weapons and were about to rush at them, but the security guards quickly subdued them and threw them together with Boss Gong.
Seeing the woman's suffering, the group cursed the Gong family as inhuman!
Uncle Zhou turned a blind eye and let them beat and kick the three Gong brothers!
Grandpa Chi led the woman further out, and even dialed the police, insisting that they thoroughly investigate, as there were probably many people like her in this village.
Just as they were about to leave the house, three more people ran out of the inner room!
It must be the woman's three children!
The eldest looked to be in his early forties, while the other two appeared to be in their thirties and twenties, respectively.
The girl was the youngest, about the same age as Yan Miao!
Forced by the Chi family's force, they dared not approach and could only watch helplessly as the woman walked away. Upon seeing her daughter, the woman was so moved that tears streamed down her face, and she tremblingly reached out her hand to her.
The daughter immediately ran over and buried her head in her mother's arms!
"Mom, where are you going?"
The woman looked at her two sons still standing in the main room, her eyes flashing with a fierce light, like a wild beast protecting its cubs. She glared at them fiercely a few times, then carefully escorted her daughter out.
"Give those two little bastards a beating too! If they die, it's on me!"
The old man tossed out a couple of sentences and hurriedly followed.
Needless to say, those two aren't good people either!
...
Village entrance.
Grandpa Chi eagerly took out Tang Xue's photo and handed it to the woman, "Have you seen her? Was she abducted with you?"
Uncle Zhou and the others hadn't come down yet, so Grandpa Chi told the remaining security guards to continue searching the village, house by house, to see if Tang Xue was actually there.
He stayed and asked the woman, hoping to get some useful information from her!
"Snow!"
"Snow!"
The woman opened her mouth, but repeated only one word over and over.
Grandpa Chi was extremely excited and grabbed her skeletal hands. "You've seen her, haven't you! Please tell me where she is?"
The woman was frightened by his actions and ran behind a big tree to hide!
Her daughter was also scared, but she still mustered up her courage and stood between the two of them, saying, "My mom is most afraid of men, don't go near her!"
“I can understand what she's saying. I can help you with anything you need to ask.”
