This feeling opened his floodgates. “Before I was twelve, I was always an illegitimate child without a clear father. I tried to ask about my father, but each time would only make my mother cry, so later I decided to stop asking. Because I believed that with just my mother, life could still be happy…”
During his narrative of finding his roots, Xiao Yao noticed a name – Hu Cang Yue Ling.
She clearly remembered the strong hostility he had shown towards this woman in his letter, and her mind conjured an image of a stepmother holding a poisoned apple.
He cannot use “vigilante justice,” such as some “improper corporal punishment”… Heaven have mercy! There are some words on the phone that Xiao Yao absolutely cannot relay, such as Zhima’s series of questions: Did he rape you?
She, who has never been good with words, is undoubtedly facing a major test. “Uh, well… anyway, their meaning is that they think you should be given justice, they have already done it, so now they want you to—” Release him within five minutes? Otherwise, they will rush in?
Xiao Yao, growing more uneasy, hurries to leave. “I think I’ll go out for a moment.”
But, it’s too late!
Tang Zhima has apparently become the commander, leading everyone to storm in.
Xiao Yao feels her vision go black, and when she looks carefully, everyone is carrying “weapons”—from shovels, hoes, iron shovels, wooden sticks… even dry vines, all demonstrating the spirit of using what’s at hand.
Cannot faint, absolutely cannot faint. Although Xiao Yao feels stars dancing before her eyes, she rushes forward, “Don’t get excited—”
”Ah! Everyone, look!” Zhima screams while pulling her.
”Oh my God!” Others follow, crying out.
Xiao Yao hasn’t even figured out the crux of the matter before being spun around by Zhima.
”Look! Her dress is even torn! Despicable!”
”Never thought he would be such a person…”
”This is a human face with a beast’s heart! If we had come in a bit later, who knows what would have happened!”
”Of course! With the dress torn like this, what else would he do?” Zhima looks like she knows exactly what she’s talking about.
