Chapter 556 - Why Im Asked Here (2/2)

Zeng Mina put another piece of shredded taro in Xia Yu’s bowl. Seeing a layer of caramel honey on it, Xia Yu frowned.

“I don’t like sweets.”

“What a poor memory! Your family cooks Sichuan dishes. Then try another.” Soon a piece of winter melon was put to Xia Yu’s plate again. “Try this. It is said to be his specialty. But it must be nothing in front of you.”

In the end, Zeng Mina politely said. It seemed that her intention was really the mean simply. Xia Yu did not refuse but held up the soup bowl aside.

“I will have the soup.”

“No problem! Have your soup!”

Zeng Mina messed for a while and finally sat back in the chair again. Xia Yu was having her soup quietly. After a few sips, she glanced that Zeng Mina took and pressed the remote control, and then there was blue light.

“If you like it, I will give you another bowl later.”

She really seemed to invite Xia Yu to eat sincerely. Xia Yu took the bowl and had another sip. Suddenly, she heard a strange sound coming from the display. The sound, loud and particularly immersive since it was an imported stereo, was recognized to be low roar of men and sad and shrill scream of women like a cat’s sound.

Xia Yu turned her head to take a look. In the picture, a woman’s hands were tied to the bed, and a man was lying on her… Such a blatant picture, like suddenly disrupting the peaceful vibe, made Xia The choke, coughing continuously and sharply, with the half bowl of soup spreading on the table. Zeng Mina came across and wiped her with some tissue.

“It scared you?”

Xia Yu was still in shock, and her cough was even worse when being touched by her. Zeng Mina began to laugh and went to pat her back. The video on the display screen continued. The whole house was trembling as the scream of the woman became even bitter. Xia Yu tried to glance over and was appalled by simply a second of the image.

“Xiao Man…”

Xia Yu recognized the girl in the picture was Xiao Man. The walls were concrete walls, and only the bed was new….

Xia Yu gasped and turned around, and Zeng Mina still was patting her back.

Xiao Man was the one who tortured Xia Yu with Brother Hu that day. But as for the man in the picture just now, Xia Yu seemed to have seen him. She did! She had seen him on the island, who was one of Brother’s fellows.

After those people were arrested, they confessed everything. The reason why Xiao Man tortured Xia Yu was that they wanted to let them misunderstand that Shen Mo was involved. According to Brother Hu, they released her after she completed her mission.

Shen Mo had been looking for her. No matter whether she was forced or not, she framed him. Shen Mo naturally wanted her explanation, but she was out of contact for so many days.

Xia Yu thought she was hiding, but according to the video…

She grabbed Zeng Mina’s gown fiercely. She was so weak that her finger became pale for all the strength she used. Xia Yu staggered and asked, “What the hell do you want to do?”

Zeng Mina looked at her, not irritated. She didn’t try to let her off but answered, “All I want is this meal.”

“Meal?” Xia Yu snorted.

Zeng Mina turned her head to look at the screen herself. The video had been aired to its climax. From the perspective of her and Xia Yu, Xiao Man ’s face and expression were completely invisible, blocked by the body of the man….

The sound became louder and louder. Zeng Mina picked up the remote control and pressed the “tentative” button to let the screen stay at the last moment. She turned her face to watch Xia Yu.

“How about it?”

Xia Yu’s hand was still on her clothes.

Zeng Mina’s voice was hoarse, “It seems not sincere enough to invite you to just have dinner, so how was that clip?”

“Why?” She was exhausted and gradually let go of her gown.

Xia Yu shuddered. The room was as quiet as a wasteland, surrounded by the drowning night outside the window, with the window half-open. She looked up to see the crack on the window where several bundles of weeds grew after years and were blown by the wind, shaking….

She forced herself to calm down, “Miss Zeng…”, Xia Yu stood upright.

“Eat!”

She still insisted on eating, but Xia Yu couldn’t have this meal anymore. Her stomach was rife with a feeling of disgust. She turned and looked at the screen again, finding the picture still at pause, so stunning that she needed to close her eyes to calm down.

“Where is Xiao Man?”

She asked too suddenly that Zeng Mina’s eyes showed surprise….

“Xia Yu, Xiao Man suffered partly because of you, isn’t it?” Zeng Mina’s face was very scary even when she didn’t have any expression, and now it became so savage that no one dares to look at.

Xia Yu avoided looking at it and said, “Do you mean I deserve it?”

“I didn’t say that.” Zeng Mina smiled softly, and then said, “Perhaps this accords with what people often say, as you sow, so shall you reap. At that time, if she hadn’t promised my mother to revenge for my father, she would not have met Shen Mo. Without knowing him, Chen Wenxuan would not have thought of using her like this.”

Xia Yu’s brow furrowed deeply. She was really not interested in hearing Zeng Mina’s tongue twister, “Miss Zeng, you haven’t told me where she is.”
