Chapter 79
All the passersby around were watching coldly or with scornful expressions.
Among all those passing by,
only this girl had a hint of disapproval in her eyes.
Because her best girlfriend had been the 'other woman' before, so when encountering this situation, her first thought was whether Gu Sang was also a victim of the 'other woman'. Findd new stories at novelhall.com
People are more inclined to empathize with the underdog; in the eyes of passersby, the original wife is the underdog.
But...
But does being lacking in love, ignorant of the malice of humanity, and being deceived and hurt due to naivety make one deserve it?
The girl had witnessed with her own eyes the scene of her girlfriend being wronged and betrayed!
Her first thought was not to cheer for the beating of the other woman, that she deserved to be beaten to death.
Rather, she would question whether this person knowingly engaged in an affair, or was a victim of the other woman?
"I know my explanation sounds feeble and unconvincing! This can all be left for the police to determine."
"I have a friend named Lu Mufei, he will be here to look for me soon. If possible, I ask that you tell him about this incident..."
"Whether or not you end up helping me call the police, I still thank you..."
"Slam—"
The car door was forcefully shut, drowning out the few sentences Gu Sang mustered all her strength to shout amid the roar of the engine starting.
"Drive quickly!"
The woman tightly gripped Gu Sang's arm, a hint of triumphant laughter in her eyes.
Hmph!
Call the police?
How could that be possible!
They had investigated online how much modern people hate the other woman.
The previous woman who was abducted cried for passersby to call the police, but in the end? No one believed her, they even shouted that she deserved to be taken away and punished!
The man standing in the corner saw the van drive away, only then covering the chill and mockery in his eyes.
He glanced at the girl in jeans, and sighed as he advised, "Little sister, you'd better not be fooled. The police officers are so busy nowadays."
"It's better for this woman everyone calls the other woman to suffer a little loss. Don't waste police resources."
"I will give you one final chance. Will you return to—"
"Shut your mouth." Gu Sang coldly interrupted Pei Changying's words.
In the scene,
the woman saw that Gu Sang no longer had a chance to escape, so she finally let go of Gu Sang's arm, panting as she rubbed her sore wrist, then spat at Gu Sang.
"You little brat have some strength. It took several people just to control you!"
"If I hadn't been prepared earlier with drugged mist spray, we really wouldn't have been able to subdue you today!"
"And you, a big burly man, yet you couldn't even bring a woman under control. If she had escaped, our days of staking out would have been wasted!"
The woman pointed at the man's head, with a hint of disappointment at his inadequacy.
Evidently,
the woman was the mastermind behind this plot.
Seeing Gu Sang's icy gaze fixed on her, not saying a word, not pleading, not even resisting, the woman was very satisfied, sparing her the need to discipline her.
Her sallow, waxen face revealed a triumphant expression.
While eyeing Gu Sang's figure and looks with approval, she said smugly, "What good is it for a woman to read so many books? You're just making it easy for us."
"Weren't you arrogant before?"
"Didn't you shout about a woman's right to choose, that there's more than just getting married? Now that you've fallen into my hands, hmph! You lured my daughter away, causing my son to not have enough dowry money to marry his girlfriend. So I'll use you to get a dowry instead!"
"Girls from the city are just wild. My son's girlfriend is very clever - she won't come to our home without a dowry, so there's no chance of us tricking her into marriage, unlike the Er Lin family who just tricked their city girlfriend into coming back with them."
"Look at her fair and delicate skin, and she's a college student too. She's definitely worth more than my daughter, at least thirty thousand!"
Gu Sang clenched her fists, realizing the drug's effects were frighteningly strong.
Cases that used to only appear online were now happening to her!
She had been in a coma for over a year, and after returning to modern times she rarely browsed the internet. In this day and age, do mothers really disregard the law for their sons' dowries, valuing sons over daughters?!
Online, there was an uproar over various cases of assaulting mistresses.
So;
These evil people were seizing any opportunity to ruin a girl's life?!
It was too disgusting!
Too terrifying!
Gu Sang adjusted her emotions over and over to calm down: "From what you're saying, it seems your remote village has committed crimes more than once?"
