Chen Feng sneered, "Even if you expose me, you won't be able to get out."
It was both mockery and intimidation.
The implication was clear: even if I was revealed, he wouldn't let me go.
Suddenly, the old woman picked up a knife used for slaughtering sheep and walked towards me.
Danger was imminent.
"Chen Feng, you are a human trafficker."
"You deceive women and sell them to remote areas."
"Do you think you can escape the law's punishment?"
Chen Feng pulled over a chair and sat down with his legs crossed.
"What evidence do you have?"
"Without evidence, what can the police do to me?"
I clutched the bracelet tightly; it was glowing.
"What is this?"
"Don't tell me it's an ordinary bracelet."
"This is my daughter's personal item."
"After Du Xiaoman died, I secretly went to retrieve the bracelet."
"I didn't expect you to see me."
"So, I conveniently buried you in the back mountain."
"I never thought you would survive."
I touched the scar on my face. "Thanks to you, I was rescued and survived."
"Just, disfigured."
Chen Feng shrugged. "So what?"
"Even if you are a police officer, you can't arrest me."
"I haven't committed any crime."
"You killed Du Xiaoman."
"Do you have any evidence?"
I clenched my fists, the light from my bracelet flickering.
"This is the evidence."
"Don't be ridiculous."
Chen Feng scoffed, "This is just a mineral that glows after special treatment."
"You think this is enough to convict me?"
I gritted my teeth, "That's not the point."
"The point is, you deceived Du Xiaoman and sold her."
"No, she isn't dead."
"She was bought by someone else."
Chen Feng looked at me, a strange smile on his face.
"Do you want to know what happened to her in the end?"
My palms were sweating.
Could Du Xiaoman still be alive?
Chen Feng leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "She was abused by the buyer and beaten to death."
"But she was pregnant when she died."
"Don't scare me like that."
"Even if you say that, I won't let you go."
"Do you have any last words?"
"No."
"Then I'm going to make my move."
My mother-in-law raised the knife and walked toward me.
I slowly backed away, my hand reaching for my pocket.
Chen Feng suddenly stood up and lunged at me.
The flickering light elongated Chen Feng's shadow.
I was so nervous I could hardly breathe.
Taking the chance, I kicked him hard in the groin.
As he doubled over in pain, I dashed toward the door.
But my hair was caught by my mother-in-law.
She pulled me back with force.
"Wretch, how dare you harm my son."
I struggled with my mother-in-law.
Her knife sliced through my clothes.
Looking at the distant door, I felt despair.
Could it be that I couldn't escape this den of evil?
I closed my eyes, fell to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everything went dark before me, and sweat broke out on my forehead.
The old woman raised her knife and slowly approached me.
Her face was filled with murderous intent.
I struggled desperately, but my body felt limp.
"Die!"
The old woman lifted the knife and thrust it down at me.
In despair, I closed my eyes.
"Meow—"
A woman's mournful cry echoed.
The sound came from the old woman's room.
Everyone was stunned.
The light flickers, and the candle goes out.
