Chapter 1247: Chapter 1247: Natural Disaster? Man-Made Disaster?
anwhile, back ho, He Zhilan’s father has been raising poultry ever since he learned of He Zhilan’s pregnancy. He’s been hoping to bring all these fowls to the military base to help He Zhilan recuperate after giving birth.
However, at this mont, no one could have predicted that a disaster was quietly looming.
At the small county train station, four n dressed in drab gray clothes, of varying heights and sizes, stood together with soone particularly conspicuous.
That person was wrapped up tightly, even though it wasn’t particularly cold in the late spring. They wore a hoodie and a mask, with a scarf so faded it was impossible to see its style and color covering the face. No one could tell if the person was male or female; only the exposed eyes suggested that this was a living being.
“Hey, hey, hey, there’s nothing to see here; this is our bride purchased from another country, not for others to gawk at!” barked one of the n with a vicious look, admonishing a passerby. He then tugged at the person lagging a few steps behind and said, “Zhaodi, hurry up for ! Don’t think you can run away just because you’ve led us here!”
Once the people at the train station heard it was a foreign bride, they stopped questioning it. They all knew that, in so places, won were wrapped up like this, not permitting others to see them.
But none of them knew that the person the n called Zhaodi was actually the fugitive on the wanted poster—Gu En.
That night beneath the bridge was, for Gu En, the most excruciating night she had endured in her twenty-sothing years of life.
A few n had tornted her all night long, and by the next day, they were rcilessly discussing how to sever her hands and feet, turn her into a mute cripple to make money for them. It was at that mont that Gu En truly understood what fear and terror ant.
It was also in that mont that her hatred ballooned like air, wishing for nothing more than for everyone in the world to perish, leaving her alone.
Gu En despised He Zhilan for still living well, while she was being toyed with like a plaything, used as a tool for gratification and profit. She had revealed her identity as Zhaodi, and unsurprisingly, was t with punches and kicks from the n, without the slightest ounce of compassion for the woman they had enjoyed the previous night.
The four n dragged Gu En to a shabby hostel near the county’s train station and went inside. As soon as they entered, one of the n glanced at the rooms and spat, “Just these small rooms, and they cost several bucks a night? What a rip-off!”
“Leave it, Third Brother.” The man who had already taken a seat on the bed called out and looked at Gu En, saying, “Zhaodi, are you sure that if we kidnap those two people, their family will pay a lot of money to ransom them? This backwater is even poorer than C Province. Can anyone here fork over fifty to eighty thousand? And you’re talking about rural folks.”
As the man spoke, his expression was filled with skepticism. “Don’t let it be that us brothers go through all the trouble of kidnapping them, only to end up empty-handed, all for nothing. If that happens, we really won’t hold back, and we’ll really chop off your hands and feet, turn you into a mute and take you back to C Province to beg for us.”
“Don’t worry, Boss.” Gu En’s voice was hoarse and rough, even less pleasing than that of n who had been smoking and drinking for years.
