Chapter 342 Retribution
Huang Dehan thought Yi Bing was right, so he said, "Don't even think about running away. Just behave and I won't hurt you."
Yi Bing said helplessly, "With you here, even if I wanted to run away, I couldn't."
Seeing that Yi Bing was neither crying nor making a fuss, Huang Dehan was very satisfied and untied her hands and feet.
Yi Bing rubbed her sore hands and feet. She had struggled too hard just now, and her wrists and ankles were scraped raw, bluish-purple, and bleeding.
Huang Dehan saw this and said, "I'll go out and bring you some medicine in a bit."
Yi Bing didn't reply or thank her. Her eyes were filled with tears as she said, "I'm hungry."
Huang Dehan placed the packed porridge on the bed, opened the lid, pushed it in front of her, and said, "Eat quickly."
Yi Bing picked up the porridge and started eating.
She didn't want to die; she needed to eat her fill to have the strength to escape.
Seeing Yi Bing's cooperation, Huang Dehan felt a pang of heartache and whispered, "I'm sorry, can you forgive me?"
Yi Bing almost blurted out, "Go to hell! I'll never forgive you in this lifetime!"
Fortunately, she held back and changed the words that were about to come out of her mouth to: "You've imprisoned me here, how can I forgive you?"
Huang Dehan said, "I'm afraid you'll call the police."
A glimmer of hope suddenly welled up in Yi Bing's heart, and she said, "Don't worry, I promise you, I will never call the police. I'm afraid of being embarrassed. They even took nude photos of me. How could I dare to call the police?"
Despite Yi Bing's words, Huang Dehan still showed no intention of letting her go.
He said, "You can stay here for a few days without worry. Once I transfer ownership of the inn, I'll let you leave."
Yi Bing was taken aback. "Are you going to transfer ownership of the inn?"
Huang Dehan nodded, looking pained, and said, "I lost Brother Li's goods. He's demanding five million in compensation and refusing to transfer ownership of the inn. Where am I supposed to get the money to pay him back?"
Yi Bing frowned and asked, "What of Brother Li's goods did you lose?"
Huang Dehan felt there was no point in telling Yi Bing, since he was leaving anyway, so he said, "White. Powder."
Yi Bing gaped in astonishment, asking incredulously, "You, you actually trafficked drugs?"
Huang Dehan said with a wry smile, "If I don't deal drugs, how will I have money to buy you a house? You've spent all my money."
Yi Bing was overwhelmed with emotions and didn't know what to say.
She silently drank her porridge, no longer speaking.
At this moment, she was filled with remorse. If she hadn't forced Huang Dehan to buy a house, she wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.
This is karma!
Huang Dehan continued, "But I can't blame you for this. It's my own fault for being useless. I lost the goods and caused you to end up like this."
Yi Bing felt extremely upset. She stiffly picked up the spoon and put the porridge into her mouth, but it tasted like nothing at all.
Huang Dehan said to himself, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to hurt you. After I return the money to Brother Li, I will let you go. As long as you behave, I really won't hurt you."
Yi Bing suddenly thought of her parents and brother and sister-in-law who were still at the inn. She wondered if they had noticed that she was missing.
"Aren't you afraid my parents will find out you've confined me here? How are you going to explain this to them?"
Huang Dehan pursed his lips and said, "I booked them a tour group, and they've already gone on their trip."
Yi Bing asked in surprise, "When did you book them for a tour group? How come I didn't know?"
