Chapter 231 Domestic Violence
When we arrived at the address given by Director Jia, it was an old residential building.
Ye Yin was very puzzled. "He must be a great writer to be able to write such a wonderful script. Why would he live in a place like this? Is he trying to gather inspiration?"
It’s no wonder Ye Yin felt doubtful, Chen Wan was also surprised when he saw it.
This residential building is quite old, with mottled walls and dirty corridors.
As soon as the two entered, they smelled a strong smell of urine.
There were plastic bags of junk food on the stairs, the walls were moldy, and children had drawn all over them strange patterns and some obscene words.
One can imagine what kind of people live here.
Shen Wan followed the house number and came to the door of No. 508 and knocked.
After knocking a few times, no one responded.
Shen Wan knocked again.
"Are you deaf, the guy next door? Go open the door and don't disturb my sleep!"
A cursing voice came from the door.
Ye Yin and Shen Wan looked at each other and said, "Could it be that Director Pighead gave us a fake address?"
With a creak, the door opened.
The door was opened by a skinny girl of about fifteen or sixteen. She half-closed the door, and her pale and thin face showed a defensive look. "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
When Shen Wan saw her, it was as if he saw his former self.
Inferiority complex, cowardice, and fear of looking people in the eye.
Ye Yin asked politely, "Excuse me, is writer Haruno Fujin here?"
Hearing these four words, the girl's face suddenly changed, and she said hurriedly: "No, no, you got the wrong person!"
After saying that, he closed the door.
Ye Yin muttered, "If she's not here, then she's not here. Why is she panicking?"
"Master Shen, it seems we have found the wrong door. Let's go and ask the people from Huanmeng."
Shen Wan didn't move, but stood in front of the door and listened carefully to the sounds coming from inside.
A crisp slapping sound came from the door, accompanied by the old man's curse.
"Who are you talking to? Who are they looking for? Are they looking for your unfaithful mother again?"
"Dad, no, they're not looking for mom. They just went to the wrong door."
"Wrong door? Haha, I think you are just like your mother, you little bitch, I will beat you to death!"
Soon a girl's screams were heard from the door.
Shen Wan kicked the door open.
I saw a slovenly old man pulling the girl's hair and tearing it. The girl's face was red and swollen, with obvious finger marks and blood around her mouth.
Shen Wan shouted coldly: "Stop!"
The old man was startled by Shen Wan who suddenly broke into the house, but when he saw that she was just a woman, he paused slightly and then grabbed his daughter's hair more fiercely.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you interfere in my family affairs!"
Shen Wan picked up a chair from the corner and smashed it hard on the man's head.
The old man swayed a few times and then fell down.
"Dead, dead?" The girl was so scared that she hid behind Shen Wan, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Shen Wan glanced at the old man on the ground, "He's not dead, he just fainted."
She looked back at the girl.
The girl's face was swollen and her body bore many marks of having been beaten for many years.
Chen Wan pulled her to sit down, and while feeling her pulse, he said, "Miss Ye, please go to the refrigerator and find something cold to apply to her face."
"Okay!" Ye Yin also felt sorry for the girl's situation and quickly ran to the kitchen to open the refrigerator.
When she saw the refrigerator was full of beer, she was stunned.
"So he's an alcoholic."
Ye Yin had no choice but to take a bottle of cold beer and handed it to the girl, "Apply ice to it, it will feel better."
"Thanks……"
The girl lowered her head and dared not look at anyone. She took the cold beer and carefully applied it to her face.
Ye Yin sat next to her and asked, "Does your father often abuse you?"
Hearing this, the girl lowered her head even more and subconsciously pulled up the sleeves that exposed her arms, trying to cover the wounds on her hands.
Shen Wan could tell at a glance that these wounds were caused by beatings with bamboo sticks, cuts with knives, and even burns from cigarette butts.
"You better leave quickly, or when my dad wakes up and sees you, he will really beat you to death."
The girl urged them to hurry up.
Ye Yin was furious: "How could such a stinky man have the heart to do such a heavy hand to his own child?"
"I'll call the police for you, or you can contact the Women's Federation!"
The girl was horrified and shook her head desperately: "No, no!"
Chen Wan could see the girl's fear because she had been the same before.
"For such a shameless person, calling the police is actually useless. At most, they can lock him up for a few days. When he is released, he will still retaliate crazily and double his efforts."
Looking at the scars on the girl's body, Shen Wan hugged her distressedly and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
The girl raised her head, her eyes full of timidity, "Can you help me?"
Thinking of how Chen Wan had just picked up a chair and smashed it on the drunkard's head in a particularly handsome way, a bit of hope welled up in the girl's eyes.
"Really? Can I really escape from his control and not be beaten by him every day?"
Ye Yin felt extremely distressed, "This poor child, how could there be such a father in the world, so abominable!"
Shen Wan nodded: "I can help you, but only if you work hard yourself."
The girl hesitated and asked hesitantly, "What do you want to do with Haruno Bujin?"
Ye Yin said, "We want to buy the book 'Curse' that he wrote."
The girl was stunned for a moment. "The copyright of "Curse" has been bought out. Even if you find Haruno Fujin, she won't be able to sell the copyright to you anymore."
Shen Wan looked at her steadily: "You are the author of "Curse", Chun Ye Bu Jin, right?"
Ye Yin's face was filled with shock: "What? She is Haruno Fujin?"
The girl carefully glanced at her unconscious father on the ground, then nodded and said, "Yes, it's me..."
"Oh my God!" Ye Yin exclaimed, "You have such great literary talent and imagination, how come you live with your alcoholic father?"
With her literary talent, she could have lived a better life.
The girl looked puzzled: "Are my writing skills really that good?"
Ye Yin shouted, "Of course! I've read the script of Curse, it's amazing! If it's made, it will definitely become the pinnacle of Chinese horror movies!"
"You are..." The girl then raised her eyes and looked at her.
Ye Yin took off his baseball cap and sunglasses, revealing his pretty face.
"Ye Yin? You are Ye Yin, the heroine of Chang'an Journey!" The girl stood up excitedly, "I've seen your audition video, your acting is really good! I like you very much!"
Ye Yin felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and smiled: "Now you believe me, you really have a rich imagination. You can write such a wonderful script at such a young age. You have a bright future."
Shen Wan looked at the two people who were complimenting each other and asked the key point.
"How much did you sell "The Curse" for?"
The girl looked very pleased when she mentioned her work.
"It's a lot! They gave me a full three thousand dollars!"
