Chapter 150 : Eat Your Medicine, You Dunce! 31 (2/2)

When she entered the lift while carrying that dog food, a group of policemen charged into the lift with her.

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘What’s going on?’

The police got off two floors below Shi Sheng’s. Shi Sheng thought she saw Ji Xiaoyu before the doors closed. Shi Sheng pressed the button to open the doors again and confirmed that the person the policemen had surrounded was indeed Ji Xiaoyu.

The next day, Shi Sheng learned that Ji Xiaoyu had attempted murder. The victim was that stepmother of hers. Yesterday, her father and his girlfriend were planning on registering their marriage.

The sight of all the ‘喜’ words in her house[2] seemed to have thrown her into a frenzy, for she then picked up a fruit knife and stabbed Bai Wei a few times.

Papa Ji hadn’t stopped her in time.

What was more ridiculous, though, was that this matter had dragged a criminal gang out into the light.

This criminal gang specifically targeted rich people. First they’d trick those rich people into marrying them, and then they convinced their target to invest in a ‘money-making’ venture.

After the women had conned them of their money, the woman would run off and find her next target. Bai Wei was lucky and didn’t die. That knife hadn’t hit any vital areas, but Ji Xiaoyu still had jail time awaiting her.

Papa Ji regretted his actions. He used up a lot of money trying to bribe people to let Ji Xiaoyu out.

“Xiaoyu, it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have believed those women.” Papa Ji looked at Ji Xiaoyu apologetically.

Ji Xiaoyu’s hair had been cut short and looked somewhat worse for wear. She glanced at Papa Ji and licked her cracked lips. “How much money do you have left?”

“Ah?” Papa Ji blanked out before hurriedly answering, “Still 2 million. I spent a lot of money bailing you out this time…”

Without letting him finish, Ji Xiaoyu reached out her hand. “Give it to me.”

Papa Ji probably felt truly remorseful towards Ji Xiaoyu, for he hurriedly handed his bank card over to Ji Xiaoyu.

Ji Xiaoyu disappeared with that 2 million. No matter how much he tried, Papa Ji couldn’t find her, and that made him nearly wreck the house in his fury.

Without any money, he had to live very thriftily. Now that he had once lived a life of luxury, he naturally couldn’t accept this. As a result, he wanted to once again win the lottery.

Papa Ji sold his house and spent all of the proceeds on buying lottery tickets. He planned to buy back his house once he won again. However, without Shi Sheng as his cheat this time, how would he be able to win it?

Even after he had spent all his money, he didn’t manage to win anything.

……

Ji Xiaoyu took the money with her to another city. She knew she wasn’t able to fight Bei Zhi, so she decided to lay low. But not long after, she met Gao Anlang.

The eldest branch of the Gao Family had given up on him, and they had chased him out for the sake of protecting what few shares they could.

Gao Anlang used his video to blackmail Ji Xiaoyu into giving him spending money. Because of that video, Ji Xiaoyu didn’t dare to disobey, but she was always waiting for a chance to snatch it.

Once, after Gao Anlang had gotten drunk, Ji Xiaoyu gathered up the courage to go and search for the video. She hadn’t managed to find it, however, and when Gao Anlang suddenly woke up, he grabbed Ji Xiaoyu and started beating her up.

When she retaliated, she had killed Gao Anlang. Ji Xiaoyu escaped in the night.

She didn’t dare to go to any major cities, so she could only head for the more remote provincial cities. However, she hadn’t expected to meet human traffickers who kidnapped her and sold her off into the remote villages in the mountains.

These mountain villages tended to be very poor; one woman would have to serve multiple men. Ji Xiaoyu was locked up in a room. Whenever any man felt like having her, he could enter this room.

Because she had once had an abortion before, her uterus was injured and she was unable to get pregnant. Since she was unable to become pregnant, the men sold and resold her many times.

During one of her escape attempts, she fell to her death off a mountain cliff.
