That night, the sound of ambulance calls could be heard throughout the city of Pengcheng. All hospitals, big and small, were filled. Police officers, both on and off, were running all over the streets. Media workers who had already gone to bed were woken up by phone calls and rushed to the Wangjiang Villa District.
This night is destined to be restless.
Lin Shuyue worked with Wu Dongyan and others until dawn. She met Yan Youlian, who had reported the incident to the police but disappeared without a clear reason, at the Pengcheng Military Region Hospital.
At this time, except for her face, her whole body was covered with whip wounds and burns. When she saw He Yuling and Lin Shuyue, she smiled and cried: "Officer He, long time no see."
He Yuling got a stool and sat beside Yan Youlian's bed with Lin Shuyue: "Long time no see, sorry."
As a police officer, He Yuling felt that she owed Yan Youlian an apology. If she had been more cautious and kept Yan Youlian for one night on the day Yan Youlian came to report the case, perhaps Yan Youlian would not have suffered these three years.
Yan Youlian shook her head. "No need to say sorry, Officer He. Who would have thought they would be so bold? Officer He, thank you and Officer Wu for persisting in looking for me."
Yan Youlian was imprisoned in Wangjiang Villa, but she was not completely unaware of what was happening outside. When she was first arrested and tortured, Qian Yuankang went to find her several times. Although Qian Yuankang went to find her for the purpose of torturing her, when she learned that two policemen had been persistently looking for her, her heart was filled with joy and hope.
So whenever she was tortured to the point of wanting to die, she would have the motivation to persevere when she thought that there were people out there looking for her.
Three years had passed, and even though she knew the police had given up looking for her, she still held on to a slim hope. When the gunshots rang out tonight, she knew she was saved.
She had been waiting for this day for three years.
He Yuling introduced Lin Shuyue's identity to Yan Youlian. Yan Youlian only looked at Lin Shuyue for two seconds before agreeing to be interviewed by Lin Shuyue. After Lin Shuyue took a photo of her without showing her face, she told Lin Shuyue about her life in Wangjiang Villa.
Her story was very heavy. After she was brought to Building No. 3 in the villa area, she never stepped out of Building No. 3. For three years, she ate, drank, defecated, urinated and slept in Building No. 3. They did not have any electronic products or TV. Even going out to look out was a luxury for them.
During these three years, she had seen many sisters being tortured to death. They didn't even get a coffin. The security guards rolled the dead in sacks and either sank them into the West River behind Wangjiang Villa or buried them in the mountains near Wangjiang Villa.
Forty minutes later, Yan Youlian was tired and fell asleep, and Lin Shuyue and the other person left her ward.
Rong Lishui was standing outside the ward. She had on delicate makeup and was wearing a white casual suit. She was still smoking. When she saw Lin Shuyue coming out, she threw her cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out: "Reporter Lin, I'm leaving. I've booked a ticket to leave tomorrow morning. I will never come to Guangdong Province again. Reporter Lin, I wish you a safe life and a bright future."
Rong Lishui bowed deeply to Lin Shuyue, and after taking two steps, she turned back. Last night she was not at Wangjiang Villa, but at the home of Zhang Fuchun, the owner of Mingzhuang Daily Chemicals. His son had another attack yesterday, and he and his wife Li Caixia felt that it was all her fault, and she should pay the price for their son's suffering. She was forced to kneel on the floor of Zhang Fuchun's house, and Zhang Fuchun whipped her with a whip.
Li Caixia sat on the sofa, sipping tea like an elegant lady. If Zhang Fuchun's force was weaker, she would start to talk about the offense her son had suffered. At the moment when the pain was unbearable, Rong Lishui really wanted to rush to the kitchen regardless of everything, take out the kitchen knife, and kill the ruthless couple.
But in the middle of the night, Zhang Fuchun received a phone call and hurried out. Her punishment was finally over. But a woman like her could not stay overnight at Zhang's house, so she could only come to the hospital with wounds all over her body to get medicine.
She was in the hospital, and saw the group of women in Wangjiang Villa. The moment she saw them in the hospital, she knew that the knife hanging in the air above her head had fallen.
She took the medicine and heard that there were reporters interviewing her, so she waited outside the ward. The moment she saw Lin Shuyue coming out of the ward, she was so excited that she couldn't express it in words.
She originally wanted to leave, but she still wanted to tell Lin Shuyue about her life over the years. She thought that as a reporter, Lin Shuyue would want to know about her affairs.
Lin Shuyue really wanted to know, so they returned to Yan Youlian's ward. Yan Youlian had fallen into a deep sleep, and He Yuling went out to get busy.
Rong Lishui turned her back to Lin Shuyue and exposed the wounds on his back. These wounds were as wide as a baby's palm. Even after applying medicine, some of the wounds were still bleeding.
Rong Lishui motioned Lin Shuyue to take a photo. After taking the photo, she said, "Reporter Lin, do you think those men who go to Wangjiang Villa to spend money are hateful? But it's not entirely true. Behind the hateful men, there is always a woman standing behind them."
"Just like Zhang Fuchun's wife Li Caixia." Rong Lishui put on her clothes, and when the clothes touched the wound, she couldn't help but gasp in pain.
"Li Caixia is a typical wife. She is like a woman from ancient times. She doesn't care how many concubines a man has outside, nor how many children the concubines have. She only cares that the financial power of the Zhang family is in her hands and her son's inheritance rights are not shaken."
"Isn't it incredible? The day after I made it clear that I was with Zhang Fuchun, he took me back to Zhang's house. I was stunned when I saw Zhang Fuchun's other two women were also there. They were serving Li Caixia meals. I felt like I was living more than a hundred years ago." Until now, Rong Lishui still finds it incredible when talking about this.
Her parents were married because of love. When she left home to work, they had been married for 20 or 30 years. Sometimes her father would go out for a long time and her mother would worry about him. She was not only worried about his safety, but also worried that he was hooking up with other women. If her mother talked to a man for a few more words, her father would be angry for a long time.
The same was true for her brother, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law, so when she learned that there was a woman like Li Caixia in the world, her entire world view suffered a devastating blow.
"Li Caixia, she treats women like us cats and dogs. Normally, she turns a deaf ear to us. But if she is in a bad mood or angry, or her son is sick, she will call us over and scold us. There is a bathroom mat in Zhang's house, and whenever she is unhappy, we have to kneel on it." Rong Lishui lifted her trouser legs. There was a regular criss-cross pattern of scars above her knees.
"Does she really not care at all?" Lin Shuyue has seen many disgusting women. Lin Shuyue originally thought that Li Caixia was the same as Deng Ling, who was the kind of person who would hand the knife to men to kill them. But now, after listening to Rong Lishui's words, it doesn't seem so?
"She doesn't care. I heard from Sister Yao that Li Caixia has a special hobby. In the first few years when she was with Zhang Fuchun, Li Caixia was still young. When she and Zhang Fuchun had sex, Li Caixia would watch from the side." Rong Lishui's expression is hard to describe.
Lin Shuyue was not much better than her.
She has always known that there is a magical NTR psychological disorder in this world, referred to as cuckoldism. But in general, men have this psychological disorder. This is the first time she has heard of women having this disease. Lin Shuyue felt that her current mood was just like that allegorical saying, a knife pierced into the flesh and opened her eyes.
"But her methods are getting more and more perverted. Can you believe it? Both I and Zhang Fuchun's new lover were chosen by her. She spent money to buy us for Zhang Fuchun. She no longer likes to watch Zhang Fuchun have sex with women. She likes to watch Zhang Fuchun beat us. Every time Zhang Fuchun beats us, she will be there. Like an idiot, like a psychopath."
"Any woman who followed Zhang Fuchun would be taken to the Zhang family to be raised if she got pregnant. When the child was born, it would be sent for matching. But whether the matching was successful or not, the child would not stay with the biological mother. They would be raised in one place by Li Caixia. They were raised like dogs, with food to eat and clothes to wear, but nothing else was taken care of. Sister Yao's daughter is 18 years old and doesn't even have a primary school diploma."
"She was sent to Wangjiang Villa, to Building No. 3. She has been missing for half a year."
"Sister Yao just sent me a message saying that she has gone to the police station. She has followed Zhang Fuchun for 30 years and has collected a lot of information about Zhang Fuchun and Li Caixia's crimes. She had been enduring it for the sake of her children, but since her daughter was sent away, she has been under strict surveillance. She can't touch her phone or leave the house."
"Something happened at Wangjiang Villa tonight. Li Caixia and Zhang Fuchun were in a state of panic because of this incident, and Sister Yao took the opportunity to run away."
Rong Lishui had a happy smile in the corners of her eyes, as if she was about to see the end of Zhang Fuchun and Li Caixia.
"Reporter Lin, don't you know? Li Caixia and Zhang Fuchun, they still have shares in the Haitian Club." The superior unit of the Haitian Club is Wangjiang Villa. If something happens in Wangjiang Villa, the Haitian Club will not benefit either.
As shareholders of Haitian Club, wouldn't Li Caixia and Zhang Fuchun be afraid if something happened to Haitian Club? After all, their shares in Haitian Club are not low! The evidence in Sister Yao's hands is enough to keep Li Caixia and Zhang Fuchun in jail for many years.
Rong Lishui felt refreshed just thinking about it. After she finished talking about the Zhang family, she left. She booked a ticket to leave Guangdong Province. From now on, she would never come to Guangdong Province again.
After Lin Shuyue waited for her to leave, she remembered the nightmare talisman she had used in Wangjiang Villa before. According to the effect of the nightmare talisman, Li Caixia was also related to Wangjiang Villa and her good and evil value would not be lower than 20%. She could also feel the effect of the nightmare talisman.
But Lin Shuyue was not sure, so she specifically asked the good and evil distinction system. After getting a positive answer, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It was already bright at this time. Lin Shuyue thought again and again and returned to the newspaper office.
The lights in the newspaper office were also bright. Huang Qiang and others were already working on the report. Lin Shuyue turned on the computer and wrote the story of Yan Youlian and Rong Lishui.
She wrote this after obtaining authorization from the two people, blurring out their names and ages.
After finishing the report and sending it to Wang Mingzheng's office, Lin Shuyue walked home. Along the way, she encountered many police cars whizzing by with red lights flashing and sirens blaring.
There are many people involved in Wangjiang Villa, including quite a few from the business and political circles. The managers of Wangjiang Villa are not all tight-lipped. Every time they confess one person, a participant of Wangjiang Villa who is still asleep will be arrested.
After this incident, Lin Shuyue guessed that there would be a serious shortage of people in Pengcheng's political circles, and it should be particularly easy to pass the entrance exams for public institutions this year.
Lin Shuyue bought a cup of hot soy milk on the roadside. The soy milk was mellow and sweet. While drinking it, she sent a resignation text message to Sister Gu who worked at the beauty store opposite the vocational school. Without waiting for her reply, Lin Shuyue entered the village.
A group of people gathered at her doorstep. Lin Shuyue's heart skipped a beat. When she heard the notification sound that the mission of the Wangjiang Villa case was completed, she didn't even bother to read it.
Lin Shuyue hurried over. Before she reached the door, she heard a strong female voice: "Lin Shuxing, you are heartless. No matter how wrong Jianxin was, he is still your biological father. You are not even willing to sign a letter of apology for him. You are unworthy of being a daughter! Where is Lin Shuyue? Get her out now. She is a reporter. I want to ask her if she knows what filial piety is!"
