Chapter 216 - 213: Heartbreaking Past

Chapter 216: Chapter 213: Heartbreaking Past

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!"

Xu Cheng, clutching his head and begging for mercy, had his mouth full of fresh blood, and one of his teeth had been knocked out.

"The video is in the cloud account on my phone!"

Qin Zhao searched his phone, opened the cloud, and found that a password was needed to view the video.

"What’s the password?"

She kicked Xu Cheng on the ground and kept her long legs pressed against his chest.

Xu Cheng gave the password, and Qin Zhao finally saw what was inside.

The cloud didn’t just contain one video; there were several videos, all containing unbearable content.

They were all R-rated scenes, some involving Xu Cheng bullying others, and some showed group bullying.

After watching a few videos, Qin Zhao felt a sense of panic.

She didn’t know what she was afraid of, her hand holding the phone was still trembling.

After searching for a while, she found a video with a person who looked like Chu Yan.

The current Dr. Chu was a genius doctor at the Imperial Capital First District Hospital, not only a graduate from a prestigious university but also a well-known figure in the industry, bright and distinguished.

The person in the video was younger, about the same age as the victims Tao Xi and Nan Sijin, and was somewhat thin, but had delicate features, more beautiful than a woman, which made him exceptionally striking.

Back then, his eyes were pure and clear, not the unfathomable darkness they held now. The teardrop mole under his eye evoked a feeling of pity.

Inside the dark warehouse, several tall men surrounded the young man.

Xu Cheng stood behind these men, throwing a case on the floor.

It contained syringes and white drug powder. He sneered, "The top scholar of the province? A gifted student from Imperial University? I’d like to see how you stay on top! Your mom is just a country peasant, and you’re just a country dog!

Do you still have the face to show up? Then let me show you what despair is!"

Those men held down the struggling young man, tore his clothes, and injected addictive drugs into his arms, as well as forced the drug powder down his throat.

Xu Cheng patted Chu Yan’s face, laughing wildly, "These things are expensive, costing tens of thousands per gram. Don’t waste them! Swallow them all!"

"Second Master, this might kill him."

Someone cautioned, only to be kicked away by Xu Cheng.

"If he dies, he dies. Would Lu Tingming really trouble me over the life of a mongrel? Without our Xu Family, where would he be today?"

Xu Cheng dusted the white powder off his hands and looked at the others, "He’s your prize now, do whatever you want with him. He’s even prettier than a woman; if something happens, I’ve got you covered!"

He laughed arrogantly several more times, preparing to leave the gloomy warehouse.

But just as he turned around, the young man on the floor suddenly leaped up, looming over him.

The young man, like an evil ghost clawing its way out of hell, fiercely stabbed the needle in Xu Cheng’s body.

"Let me out."

The young man said each word deliberately, staring at the men with blood-red eyes.

"Ah! Do you want to die? Let go of me!"

The young man pulled the needle out of Xu Cheng’s shoulder and pressed it against his vulnerable neck.

"You can try it; see whether you die first, or I do."

The young man emphasized again, "Let me out!"

The tip of the needle was already piercing Xu Cheng’s neck.

He had no choice but to tell his men, "Let him out, don’t hurt him for now."

Then, the warehouse door opened.

The men didn’t dare approach Chu Yan, and could only watch as he took Xu Cheng away.

Qin Zhao watched this and couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

The video had been black for a long time, and the people in the warehouse never came back. She didn’t know where Chu Yan had taken Xu Cheng or what happened eventually; she just hoped that he had managed to escape safely.

She thought it was over, but suddenly, a frail figure appeared in the pitch-dark warehouse.

He hunched over, climbed through the window, and fell to the ground.

He had a dagger in his hand which dropped due to the fall. He picked up the dagger shakily, then cautiously looked around and hid in a dark corner of the warehouse.

It was probably deep into the night by then.

The video was too dark, and all one could hear was his heavy breathing and the occasional pained groan.

He hid there for a very long time, without eating or drinking.

He was also injected with something addictive, and although he wanted to pick up the scattered drugs on the floor every time he couldn’t withstand it, he forcefully restrained himself.

If he couldn’t control himself, he would cut his arm with the dagger to suppress the urge with pain.

Those people probably never thought he would return here, so nobody found him.

When light finally returned to the warehouse, the ones who entered were policemen.

The moment sunlight came in, the person in the corner was drenched in blood, barely holding on to life.

The sound of a cellphone hitting the ground echoed.

By the time Qin Zhao realized what was happening, she found herself trembling all over.

What had Chu Yan experienced in the past?

If this was the retribution for his past sins, Qin Zhao realized she still couldn’t face it calmly.

Her heart twisted painfully, making it difficult for her to breathe, her throat feeling dry.

She took a gentle breath, almost smelling the blood on him.

Qin Zhao instinctively reached out to support herself on the car door, refusing to recall the scenes in the video.

Suddenly, she desperately wanted to hug him.

Actually, Xu Cheng had never intended to expose the video, knowing that it wouldn’t benefit him.

He said that to Qin Zhao simply to buy time to escape.

Noticing that Qin Zhao was emotionally disturbed, Xu Cheng hurriedly got up from the ground, preparing to flee.

Once he got back, he was determined to give Chu Yan and this woman a lesson!

But he hadn’t run far when Qin Zhao, who had just been by the car, suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Did I say you could leave?"

Her bright, peach-blossom eyes filled with a cold murderous intent. Her slender, pale hands suddenly grabbed his neck and dragged him back to the car like he was a mere chick.

Minutes later, his terrible screams echoed continuously in the suburbs.

After Xu Cheng disappeared, Xu Zhiwei quickly informed the Xu Family, who searched for him for a long time and even went to the Criminal Police Team, suspecting they had secretly taken him.

But despite searching everywhere, there was still no sign of Xu Cheng.

On the third day of his disappearance, he was dumped at the Xu Family’s doorstep in the dead of night.

He was covered in blood, with some areas so gore-smeared that he was barely clinging to life.

There were many surveillance cameras at the Xu Family’s gateway, all intact, yet none had captured the person who had brought Xu Cheng back. The surveillance footage showed him suddenly appearing at the doorstep.

Of course, nothing was captured because Qin Zhao had the evil ghost send Xu Cheng back.

Meanwhile, she hadn’t been home for several days, and Chu Yan was searching everywhere for her.

Finally, he found her sleeping at home, unaware of how long she had been asleep, completely wrapped up in her blanket.
