After an unknown period of time, Xu Lingshan finally woke up. Just like Ding Ling at that time, the moment she woke up, she felt extremely comfortable. It had been a long time since she had slept in such a peaceful manner. The drug paralyzed her nerves and made her sleep deeply for a long time. Although there were many disadvantages, the advantage was that her body was able to rest effectively for a long time.
Xu Lingshan rubbed her eyes with one hand and propped herself up from the ground with the other.
"Where is this?" Xu Lingshan whispered to herself. The effects of the medicine in her brain had yet to fully wear off, and she was still feeling a little muddle-headed.
"We're locked up." Ding Ling said to her, "No one knows where we are."
Xu Lingshan was startled, but she regained her senses right after.
She quickly got up from the ground and looked around her. Including Ding Ling, there were still a few females squeezed into the same small room. The entire room was ventilated by a small window at the top, but it seemed to be a larger room or warehouse, with no way of seeing through it. The dim room was connected to the outside world by a metal door that could not be opened from the inside.
A dejected and desperate aura filled every corner of the room, making Xu Lingshan wonder if she had fallen into another dream after waking up.
Xu Lingshan came to the metal door, and rapped it with her hand, searching for an opportunity to escape.
"No chance." Ding Ling said, "You won't be able to escape from here."
She sat beside Ding Ling.
"Hello." Even though it had already reached such a stage, Xu Lingshan still did not forget her mission. She tried to get close to Ding Ling and see if she could get any information about Ding Long from her mouth. How did you get caught? " Xu Lingshan asked despite knowing the answer. She thought it would be easier for them to believe each other in this dangerous situation.
Unexpectedly, Ding Ling only chuckled, "Stop pretending. You must have been caught by them when you were following me right?"
"You know I'm following you?" Xu Lingshan was stunned.
Ding Ling nodded, then said: "You're underestimating me. On the first day you followed me, there were some people who reported to me."
"Who is it?" Xu Lingshan asked subconsciously. After saying this, Xu Lingshan felt regret. How could Ding Ling possibly answer her kind of question?
"Who else could it be, it's Xu Yang." Unexpectedly, Ding Ling answered Xu Lingshan's question straightforwardly.
"Who is Xu Yang?" Xu Lingshan felt that this name was a little familiar, but she couldn't remember who this person was.
"He's Mayor's nephew," Ding Ling answered with a smile. "Someone said that he's Mayor's illegitimate child, I think he looks pretty good."
"It's him?" Xu Lingshan was so surprised that she could not even close her mouth.
She couldn't resist asking, "You told me all this even though you knew I was a cop?"
"I don't care about Xu Yang's life or death," Ding Ling said as he curled his lips, "His eyes are lustful and annoying."
Xu Lingshan suddenly laughed out loud, she had also met this Xu Yang once before, it was just that she did not know that he was related to Ding Long at that time.
The two were a few years apart in age and status, but in this kind of environment, they could still chat.
Xu Lingshan saw that Ding Ling's clothes were not covering her body, so she took off her jacket and passed it to her: "The ground is cold, don't catch a cold."
Ding Ling did not stand on ceremony as she took the jacket from Xu Lingshan's hands and covered it herself. After a few seconds, she hesitantly said, "Thank you."
Xu Lingshan smiled at her.
At this moment, a woman stood up from the corner of the room. She said in a very pitiful tone, "I'm also very cold. Lend me some clothes to cover myself."
After that, other than Xu Lingshan and Ding Ling, all the other women stood up one after another, gathering in front of Ding Ling and Xu Lingshan.
"Lend me your clothes." Someone said.
"No, just lend it to me." Another woman said.
Their clothes were tattered, and their skin was stained with blood.
"Go, go away!" Ding Ling curled her body, "All of you, move away!"
One of his hands extended towards Ding Ling's jacket.
Just as the hand was about to touch Ding Ling's clothes, Xu Lingshan grabbed her wrist.
"What are you guys doing!" Xu Lingshan bellowed, "You want to steal my clothes?"
"Why are you so vicious?" The lady who was grabbed by the wrist asked Xu Lingshan.
"We are so pitiful," a woman revealed her chest to Xu Lingshan, a long wound that had been soaking in the water for too long had already festered. "Can't you help us?"
"Pity is not an excuse for you to do as you please." As a police officer, Xu Lingshan would not easily let her guard down.
"All of you, get out of the way!" Xu Lingshan stood up, and blocked in front of Ding Ling.
Ding Ling raised her head and looked at Xu Lingshan's back, her eyes full of admiration and surprise.
Those women would not stop just because of one sentence from Xu Lingshan. They reached out their hands towards Xu Lingshan's body, wanting to tear off the clothes on her body.
But how could these malnourished people be a match for the policewomen?
Xu Lingshan grabbed the wrist of the first person who extended his hand over, and then twisted it gently. At the same time, she hooked the other party's lower body with her foot, causing the person to fall onto the ground while screaming in pain.
Someone else extended their hand over, but Xu Lingshan easily subdued them in a few moves, and after three or four women fell on the ground, the rest of them hesitated, not daring to go forward.
"Scram!" Xu Lingshan berated them.
Those who were hesitating and those who were still wailing on the ground suddenly fled. They returned to their corners, once again acting like pitiful victims.
Xu Lingshan sat down beside Ding Ling once again.
Ding Ling leaned in closer to her.
"Are all the police so good?" Ding Ling suddenly asked.
Xu Lingshan laughed bitterly: "How can he be stronger than your father? Everyone knows that your father Ding Long is the biggest criminal in Coastal City, but no one can do anything to him."
Ding Ling lowered her head, stayed silent for a while, and then said: "I know, I also know, that he is not a good person."
Hearing Ding Ling's words, Xu Lingshan could not help but turn her head to look at Ding Ling's expression. What kind of expression did this girl have on her face that she could say such words to her father?
But Ding Ling did not have any expression, it would be better to say that her expression was extremely cold.
"Do you have a bad relationship with your father?" Xu Lingshan asked. There was no doubt that Ding Ling had gotten a lot of benefits from Ding Long, so it was hard for Xu Lingshan to imagine why she would hate her father.
"He killed my mother, and also Sister Zheng Li." Ding Ling lowered her head to her knees and sobbed, "He killed everyone who was nice to me."
Xu Lingshan really wanted to ask Ding Ling if she had any evidence, but at this moment, she couldn't say such cold words.
She wrapped her arms around Ding Ling's shoulders and patted her body lightly as if she was comforting a child.
