False evidence

Chapter 292 Bloodbath
I strode into the house and saw Pidan lying on the ground with his eyes closed; Meng Chao was sitting slumped against the wall, still conscious, but his head was beaten up like a pig's.

I pulled Pidan into my arms and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that her breathing was steady.

Pinching her philtrum didn't work.

I asked Meng Chao, "How are you?"

"Can't die."

What's wrong with the preserved egg?

"When I was going downstairs earlier, the little girl suddenly said, 'Uncle fell down,' and Pidan immediately ran back. When I followed her inside, Pidan had already passed out. Then I passed out too. When I woke up, there were two men. The tall one said, 'This girl is good; she can fetch a good price.' The short one said, 'She's a short-lived girl; she'll probably die before she's sold.' The tall one even tried to grope Pidan, so I fought with them..."

I was furious. Before he could finish speaking, I picked up Pidan and placed her next to him. "Take good care of her!"

Once outside, Liu Hong had already gone downstairs and was standing in the courtyard, confronting several people in the corner.

Now, from this vantage point, with the help of the water ghost's malevolent power, one can see even more clearly through the rain.

As Meng Chao said, there were two men, one tall and one short.

The short man, who was at most 1.6 meters tall, hid behind Wei Min and held a blood-stained dagger to Wei Min's throat.

The tall man had one hand on Xiao Weilan's head, staring at Liu Hong with a gloomy expression.

I jumped over the fence into the yard and headed straight for the two of them.

Liu Hong said urgently, "Don't do anything rash!"

I shouted, "My wife and kids aren't mine! All I know is that they beat my brother and hurt my dog!"

"Damn it, so that dead dog was yours!" the dwarf cursed.

Only then did I notice that there was a pool of blood beneath him, and the back of the tall man's right hand was also covered in blood.

It seems that both of them were bitten by the pillar, with the dwarf being particularly badly injured, which is why they were unable to leave in time.

I stared intently at the short man: "Did you hurt my dog?"

The dwarf snarled, "How come it's still not dead?"

I stopped talking and walked towards him.

The short man said menacingly, "Don't come any closer, or I'll kill this woman!"

"I told you, they have nothing to do with me!"

As I spoke, I suddenly stretched out my leg and kicked Xiao Weilan, who was being held down by the taller man, away.

Before the tall man could react, Liu Hong had already leaped forward and swung his fist at his Adam's apple.

At the same time, Wei Min also took action, jerking her head back so that the back of her head hit the dwarf's face, then crouching down and running to one side.

However, in her panic, she forgot about the tall man's presence.

The tall man could tell that Liu Hong was going all out, so he didn't engage in a prolonged fight. He feinted an attack, then reached out with his other hand, grabbed Wei Min's arm, and twisted it sharply.

"what……"

Wei Min screamed in pain and knelt on one knee.

Liu Hong, fearing the consequences, dared not go forward again.

"If you're a man, let her go!"

"Smelly bitch!"

The short man, his nose bleeding profusely, flew into a rage, grabbed Wei Min by the hair, and slapped her twice across the face.

The dwarf looked even more ferocious at this moment, and said to Liu Hong:
"Let her go? Do you know who I am to her? I'm her husband!"

The short man had a heavy nasal voice and his face was covered in blood. Liu Hong couldn't hear him and couldn't see his lip movements clearly, but he shouted to release the man.

The short man held the knife to Wei Min again, and the situation reached a stalemate once more. The tall man, expressionless, lowered his eyelids and glanced sideways at Wei Min: "You still won't hand over the things?"

Wei Min looked up at Liu Hong, then at me, her eyes filled with deep sorrow. Faced with the tall man's questioning, she remained silent.

The tall man nodded silently and placed a hand on the top of her head.

Thinking of the scene in my dream, I felt a chill run down my spine.

In the dream, Wei Min's arm was twisted off, and now it has become a reality.

This tall man had extraordinary strength; judging from his expression, he seemed genuinely intent on snapping Wei Min's neck!
"What you want is here with me!" I said, quick-wittedly.

The tall man didn't even glance at me, and with his other hand, he released Wei Min's arm and grabbed her chin.

Seeing that he wasn't falling for it, I couldn't hold back any longer. With a determined bite, I thrust the iron fan straight at one of his eyes.

The tall guy suddenly grabbed Wei Min's hair, lifted her up, and swung her forcefully toward me.

I secretly rejoiced that this desperate tactic had finally worked.

I spun around, dodging Wei Min, and unfurled my iron fan, aiming straight for the dwarf's face.

Caught off guard, the dwarf let out a scream as the slap slashed his face, leaving a gash and blinding him in his left eye.

Once again, my feint succeeded. Without pausing for a moment, I closed my iron fan and turned to strike the taller man.

The tall guy had figured out my moves and was prepared. He didn't resist, but instead feinted to the side, then ran a few steps in the opposite direction, jumped over the wall, and left the yard.

I was going to chase after it, but when I heard the sound of the car engine, I immediately gave up the idea.

I glanced at the dwarf who was still howling like a pig being slaughtered, turned my head, saw the situation, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Wei Min was held in Liu Hong's arms, her body completely losing its support.

Liu Hong's eyes were bloodshot as he gritted his teeth and said, "That bastard used dirty tricks and broke her lumbar spine!"

That's when I realized why he hadn't taken the opportunity to deal with the tall guy earlier.

Seeing Xiao Weilan pouting with tears in her eyes, looking like she wanted to cry but dared not, I could only vent my anger on the dwarf.

"I don't care who you are, if you lay a hand on women and children, you deserve to die!"

The dwarf knew he was in for a bad end, so he gritted his teeth and, in a desperate move, hurled the knife at me before turning and running frantically out of the courtyard.

I relentlessly pursued him.

The short man was probably unfamiliar with this place, and in his panic, he ran all the way to the riverbank where Liu Hong and I had climbed up earlier.

Seeing that there was nowhere to go, the dwarf turned around and looked at me, panting heavily.

I had only taken one step forward when he suddenly knelt down with a thud. "Brother, please forgive me this time!"

"Okay, answer a few questions for me. If you tell the truth, I'll let you off the hook."

"Alright, alright, go ahead and ask!"

"Who are you?"

“My name is Gu Han, and his name is Ji Jianjun…” the dwarf said tremblingly.

Upon hearing the name 'Ji Jianjun,' my mind went blank.

That tall man was actually named Ji Jianjun!
Meng Chao once said that the tall guy said preserved eggs could fetch a good price...

He's a human trafficker!
It's Ji Jianjun, the one who was involved in my human trafficking!
My eyes nearly bled as I glared at him, and I demanded sharply, "Where could he go?!"

The short, ancient man was almost in tears. "I really didn't know! That woman, he sold her to me back then! She really is my wife! But before we even consummated our marriage, she ran off with someone else!"
Over the years, I've saved up some money and was thinking of buying another wife. And what a coincidence, I ran into Ji Jianjun again! I told him I wanted to buy a wife, but he said no need. He could find my old wife for me!

Later, I learned from him that the woman had stolen something from him just a few days ago! That thing was very important, and he was determined to get it back; otherwise, I would have to deal with her!
He even promised that he could find me another young wife later…
