"When Zhao Xiangmei was caught by the police, my mother was at the se," the woman said. "Acc to her recolle, Zhao Xiangmei rehended in the Qian family's rge courtyard, already seriously injured. Her whole body was covered in blood, her hair was matted with blood and dirt, and her forehead was torn, making her inal appearanreizable."
"Her appearance was ruined, but her voice should still be reizable," Xiaomeng said.
The woman's face twisted as she shook her head. "It seemed like her throat was also damaged; she couldn't speak at all, not even a sound."
"When the police brought over some of the women who had been abducted, hoping they could identify whether Zhao Xiangmei was the one who had trafficked them, someone shouted, 'Kill her!' Then, the parents, who had been holding back their anger, lost trol and rushed forward, breaking through the barricade and taking her away."
After this, both Jiang g and Xiaomeng uood what happened.
The unfortunate woman, believed to be a human trafficker, was beaten by the enraged parents and her body was abandoned he Han Zhen Lake.
Of course, she was still alive at that time.
When they heard this, Jiang g and Xiaomeng exged subtle gnces.
They had been to Han Zhen Lake before—it was deep in the mountains, with rugged paths and hidden locations. Even the younger people from the vilge couldn’t find their way there.
So, how did the parents of those women find it?
Clearly, someone had secretly guided them.
First, there was a bait-and-switch. Then, they deceived everyone, and finally, they destroyed the body.
The Qian family had sed their own daughter, Qian Jianxiu, with an irafficked woman, and they made Qian Jianxiu take on the identity of the missing woman.
This expined why all 29 abducted women were alive.
None had died.
Jiang g squinted his eyes. He now knew where Qian Jianxiu was hiding—at the Anping Inn in Anping Town!
That woman in the dark room, whose face had beeroyed, was the murderer from 20 years ago—Qian Lao’s daughter, Qian Jianxiu!
And the ohe ghost was after was her!
This also expined why the ghost would leave disfigured bodies near Anping Town after killing them.
It was a silent threat!
Jiang g remembered the blood-red eyes he had seen deep in the Han Zhen Lake. Those eyes were full of rese.
She had been tortured alive, and after death, her reputation was destroyed. No wonder.
As a fellow woman, Xiaomeng could empathize with this unfortunate woman's plight even more. She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if such things happeo her.
From being a wealthy young dy, she was reduced to living in such a remote mountain vilge.
She was tortured and humiliated, only to finally be rescued by the police, only for her appearao be ruined, her voice silenced, and her own family to misuand her, killing her out e.
She endured repeated beatings with her frail body but still refused to give up her st breath.
It wasn’t some noble belief that kept her going; it was hatred!
Pure hatred.
When she crawled up to the stoablet with her broken arms and wrote a curse, that blood-soaked young woman was already dead.
And from that moment on…
The nightmare of Xiao Shijian Vilge began.
This once fragile, timid woman had transformed into the most terrifying vengeful spirit. No one knew how much rage she had carried in her frail body.
She wandered in the night, dragging those who had harmed her into the abyss.
Jiang g could imagihe pain ahe men must have felt before they died. They would kneel and beg for mercy, struggling and screaming in agony.
What a poignant picture it must have been.
As he thought of this, Jiang g couldn’t help but ugh.
Evil defeated by evil, blood repaid with blood—that’s what true justice looked like.
Sihe sun embraces crime, let the darkness be the oo judge justice.
The woman stared at Jiang g in wide-eyed disbelief.
She couldn’t uand why the man in front of her was smiling, and the expression on his face seemed even more terrifying than his previous indifference.
At this thought, she trembled involuntarily.
Xiaomeng stared ily at Jiang g’s profile. His eyes, hidden in the darkness, seemed te with the night.
"Go on," Jiang g said, suppressing his smile, gazing at the woman with a mysterious expression that her she nor Xiaomeng could prehend.
It seemed like... he was in a good mood.
The woman’s breath suddenly quied under Jiang g’s gaze.
Without realizing it, since he started ughing, she had been holding her breath, afraid to make a sound.
"When my mother saw the stoablet, she was even more vinced of her judgment. She said that although Zhao Xiangmei looked very graceful, she was an illiterate, incapable of reading or writing," the woman said nervously. "So the dead person couldn't have been Zhao Xiangmei."
"In that era, very few women could read or write, and there wasn’t a sierate woman in the vilge, so the person who left the blood-written curse must have been one of the trafficked women."
"Does your mother know which of the trafficked women could write?" Jiang g asked.
The woman shook her head. "No. The trafficked women were all kept separated to prevent them franizing and esg the vilge."
"Did your mother tell anyone else about this?"
"Ha—" The woman exhaled a deep breath, her eyes fshing with unmasked anger. "Of course she did! She couldn’t bear to let a woman, who had suffered like her, die without clearing her name. She didn’t want Zhao Xiao get away with it."
"She tried to report it everywhere, but no oook it seriously, especially the Qian family. They insisted that the case was closed, and the main culprit, Zhao Xiangmei, was already dead. Her body was dumped in the Han Zhen Lake."
"At that time, Qian Lao had already been taken by the police, along with some of the Qian family men, but the Qian family owerful in the vilge, and they were still the ones in charge," the woman expined.
"My mother could or sleep because of it aually fell ill. She had to stay at home to rest," she tinued, her tone suddenly turning icy. "One day, when I returned after w, I found a few people from the Qian family, along with the vilge doctor, at my house. They said they were here to treat my mother."
"I didn’t believe they had good iions and tried to kick them out, but they didn’t say anything and just left with their things."
"After they left, I noticed that my mother’s mouth had some drug residue and dark stains on the pillow. I went back to the stove and found a freshly washed bowl."
"Sihen, my mother has never been able to speak again, and her lower body became paralyzed. She could only lie in bed, uo go anywhere," the woman said through gritted teeth.
