Chapter 135: Clues

Xiang Shishui had a belly full of bitterness with nowhere to vent. He grabbed Pei Huaiye's sleeve and said hurriedly, "This is Wang Lingling!"

Pei Huaiye's eyes turned cold as he looked at Wang Lingling.

She looked like she had been abused, wearing a garment that was still decent, but her whole body was scratched by tree branches, and the exposed skin on her arms was covered in scars.

Her cheekbones and eye sockets were swollen high, and there were dark bruises under her eyes.

Her pants were stained with blood.

Without waiting for Xiang Shishui to explain further, Wang Lingling walked up to Pei Huaiye.

"You are Su Qingyue's man. Last time, the landslide that hit Su Qingyue was Zhang Jun's revenge. I have evidence."

Pei Huaiye narrowed his eyes suddenly, his gaze incomparably sharp, "What evidence? Speak clearly."

Wang Lingling retreated a step timidly, pointing to her face, "I need to eat and see a doctor! And I need to take a bath! And someone needs to guarantee my safety!"

Pei Huaiye made a gesture, and two subordinates in military uniforms came over and took Wang Lingling away.

"This, this, she didn't say this when she saw me." Xiang Shishui wiped his sweat. Seeing Pei Huaiye could command soldiers just now, his heart was filled with shock.

"How did you meet her?"

Xiang Shishui told the story.

He went to Yang County to discuss cooperation with the Supply and Marketing Cooperative. The other party agreed to cooperate and said they would introduce him to someone who sold soybeans.

Before leaving, Captain Xiang and Su Qingyue had both instructed him that if he could get in touch with the Black Market, he should ask about the price to leave a way out for the future.

So at the dinner table, besides the people from the Yang County Supply and Marketing Cooperative, there was also Old Zhou from the Black Market. The woman Old Zhou brought with him was Wang Lingling.

Xiang Shishui didn't know Wang Lingling, but Wang Lingling recognized him.

Taking advantage of when he went to the bathroom, Wang Lingling blocked him.

She rolled up her scarred arms without a word, crying and begging, "Zhang Jun sold me to Old Zhou. I am abused every day. Brother Xiang, I beg you to take me away. I can't stand living here for even one day."

"I was able to come out to eat with Old Zhou today because I am pregnant. He hasn't dared to touch me for these two months, but after I give birth, I will still live in hell."

Wang Lingling knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xiang Shishui, "Brother Xiang, I beg you to save me. My mother is still waiting for me at home. I want to go back and report to the police to catch Zhang Jun and Old Zhou for revenge!"

Xiang Shishui comforted Wang Lingling non-committally. He later inquired about Old Zhou's influence and saw that he had great protection in Yang County, plus his gossip confirmed Wang Lingling's story.

He wanted to save Wang Lingling, but Wang Lingling had no introduction letter and couldn't take the train.

In the end, the two walked the mountain road in the dark of night, crossed several mountains, and finally reached Xichuan County.

"She vomited many times along the way. She hated Zhang Jun and Old Zhou so much that her teeth itched. As soon as she arrived in the county, she was about to faint, so I brought her to the health center."

"I didn't expect Zhang Jun to have done so many evil things. Let's hurry and report to the police!" Xiang Shishui finished speaking and pulled Pei Huaiye to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry, some things have also happened in the village..."

Pei Huaiye told him about Su Qingyue being kidnapped.

There was too much information, and it took Xiang Shishui a while to react, "Then sister-in-law is now..."

"She is safe now, but don't make a sound when you return to the village. There is definitely more than one culprit, so don't alert the enemy."

"Pretend you don't know about coming to the health center today, and don't tell anyone you saved Wang Lingling when you go back."

"I estimate that Old Zhou's people are definitely looking for you everywhere. Be careful when you go back and prepare yourself mentally."

After Pei Huaiye finished speaking, Xiang Shishui nodded.

"I will keep Wang Lingling's matter a secret. This Zhang Jun! We must bring him to justice this time!"

"Hmm, don't alert the enemy first!"

The two discussed for a while and went to do their own things.

Wang Lingling was taken to see a doctor after eating. After long-term fear and oppression, she suddenly came to the hospital and received treatment. Wang Lingling was grateful and fell into a deep sleep after the IV drip was set up.

Pei Huaiye pushed open the door, "How is it?"

The Dean endured his anger, "Besides the wounds from blunt objects, there are whip marks and burns, especially in sensitive areas. There isn't a single piece of good skin on her body."

"Simply a beast!"

Wang Lingling was hospitalized to recuperate. Pei Huaiye arranged for special personnel to guard her, and no one was allowed in except the doctor.

When she woke up and learned that Pei Huaiye's identity was a Regimental Commander, she was very excited and wanted the guard to call someone immediately.

"There is a pair of leather shoes in my cabinet that belongs to Zhang Jun. On the day of the landslide, he was wearing those shoes when he went to smash the stones."

Pei Huaiye's black eyes darkened, "Where are the leather shoes?!"

"Locked in the box at the head of my bed. Find my mother and tell her I'm still alive..."

Wang Lingling thought of her mother and thought about how she told her she was going to Yang City to work and earn money when she left home, but she didn't expect to be deceived by Zhang Jun.

Tears flowed down her face unknowingly.

Pei Huaiye went to Su Qingyue's ward. The two little cubs had finished nursing and were awake. The babies had no consciousness yet, blinking their watery eyes and falling asleep soon after.

Su Qingyue looked at the two milk babies with tenderness, "Sister-in-law, why are they asleep again?"

"Babies are just like this; they eat and sleep, eat and sleep, so they can grow fast."

"Do you feel any better?"

Pei Huaiye's voice was deep and his gaze gentle as he sat by the bed.

Su Qingyue nodded, "Much better. With you all here, I'm not afraid at all."

Saying the word "afraid" again.

Pei Huaiye didn't dare to think about how scared Su Qingyue must have been at the time.

"I'll stay with you tonight. With me here, don't be afraid!"

When night came, Yuan Guang came to report the mission.

"County Magistrate Jiang's family has all left. Shen Xunbao didn't see anyone today and had a quarrel with Su Qianqian after returning to the village."

"The villagers all think sister-in-law is still unconscious. Zhang Jun's family is preparing for the wedding, and they will hold the wedding banquet with Jiang Meng tomorrow."

Pei Huaiye's eyes tightened, and he snorted coldly, "What a good day! Tomorrow we will send a big gift!"

Yuan Guang was so angry his teeth itched, "Good!"

"What about Su Qianqian?!"

"She looks like nothing happened, cold-blooded and ruthless, telling everyone she wants to see Su Qingyue, but she was rejected by you today."

"This poisonous woman! I'll see if her mouth is still hard tomorrow!"

Pei Huaiye took Yuan Guang and told him about Wang Lingling, and asked him to take people to find evidence.

"Arrange manpower, keep an eye on those people for me. Everything is ready, arrest them at noon tomorrow!"

Yuan Guang's eyes shone, he nodded seriously, and left with a few people.

On this side, Su Qianqian was unhappy because Shen Xunbao didn't send out the gift, so she caught him and scolded him.

The two stared at the ceiling, sulking.

Shen Xunbao was deep in thought. He learned from Qiao Wang when he exchanged identities that Su Qingyue had been kidnapped and lost blood, and was lying in the hospital for resuscitation.

His heart sank instantly!

He grabbed Qiao Wang by the collar at the time and asked many times, but was told absolutely that it wasn't him and Su Qianqian who did it.

Qiao Wang's original words were: "We were all sleeping soundly that night. Su Qianqian only went out when the village notified us to look for people. I was lying down and didn't move."

When Shen Xunbao returned to the village, the Su family avoided him and Su Qianqian like snakes and scorpions.

Su Qianqian couldn't eat or sleep, going out three times an hour, specifically to inquire about Su Qingyue.

Shen Xunbao turned his head, looked into Su Qianqian's eyes, and asked the question.

"Su Qianqian, you tell me, does Su Qingyue's kidnapping have anything to do with you or not?!" ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
