Chapter 206 Rescued from the Brink of Death

Qian Yulan didn't dare to kill or do anything illegal; he just wanted to torture them and vent his anger.

After all, a businesswoman like her is clear-headed and wouldn't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.

She married Xiong Shanhe because she was passing through his village when she was being chased by a business rival. Xiong Shanhe found her injured and carried her to the hospital.

Otherwise, how could Xiong Shanhe, an ordinary man with average looks and short stature, possibly marry the Qian family's daughter?

At this moment, Qian Yulan regretted how she had been deceived by his sweet words.

If they had listened to their parents, given Xiong Shanhe a thank-you fee, and left, none of this would have happened.

There was definitely sadness involved. Qian Yulan was an arrogant and conceited person. Although she was not good-looking and was big and burly, she had never been interested in any man.

It was all because Xiong Shanhe's glib tongue and flattering manner bewitched her that she rushed to marry him and made him a live-in son-in-law.

Qian Yulan felt much more at ease looking at the two people shivering in the corner.

She took a few steps forward and glanced at the two of them with disdain, appearing exceptionally tall in the dim light.

When Xiong Shanhe saw Qian Yulan arrive, he quickly crawled over on his knees and begged her to release him.

Kong Xiujin followed behind, crawled to her feet, and cried and begged Qian Yulan to let her go.

Qian Yulan smiled contemptuously, took a divorce contract from the person next to her, and threw it in front of Xiong Shanhe.

"Here, sign it and I'll set you free." Qian Yulan's words were like a bomb, leaving Xiong Shanhe dizzy and swaying.

Xiong Shanhe didn't dare to raise his head, he just knelt there and kept kowtowing, begging Qian Yulan not to divorce him.

He knew in his heart that if he signed the divorce agreement, he would be kicked out of the house, and he would be left with nothing. All the money and comfortable life he had gained over the years would be gone.

Qian Yulan was too lazy to waste words with him. In order not to waste time, he had his subordinate hold Xiong Shanhe's hand, write down his name, and put his fingerprint on it.

After finishing the divorce agreement, her subordinate brought it over and presented it to Qian Yulan. She said, "By the way, to fulfill your love between the two of you, I've already used my connections to get you a marriage certificate. All you need to do is take a picture together."

Xiong Shanhe collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted. Only one thought echoed in his mind: "It's all over, completely over."

Kong Xiujin cried out, "No, no, I don't want to marry this old man, Miss Qian, please, please let me go! I will leave this city, go far away, and never come back."

Qian Yulan chuckled, "Oh, really! You two love each other so much, how could I possibly break you up? You'd better be locked in for life and never separate, otherwise how many good people will you ruin?"

After saying that, Qian Yulan turned and left, instructing his subordinates to teach them a lesson before he left.

The two men were beaten so badly they could barely walk, and were dragged to a roadside pile of weeds in a small village on the outskirts of the city. Whether they lived or died was left to fate.

After resolving the matter, Qian Yulan was in a great mood and drove straight to Jia Cheng Nightclub to enjoy himself.

That's how this matter came to a perfect end.

At the garment factory, when Factory Director Yan received Xiong Shanhe's resignation call and Kong Xiujin's resignation letter, he understood the connection and didn't pay much attention. They were just two insignificant scoundrels; why bother with them? He quickly put them out of his mind.

At night, Xiong Shanhe opened his cloudy eyes; the pain throughout his body made him unable to feel the cold.

He looked around at his surroundings, making sure he had never been here before, and felt a sense of panic.

Turning around, he saw a woman lying not far away, covered in blood. Her face was pale, her clothes tattered, and her long hair fell loose, obscuring her face. She looked like a demon crawling out of hell.

Xiong Shanhe screamed in terror, "Ahhh...! What...what the hell is this? Where am I? Where am I?"

The only response he received was the howling wind.

At this moment, Kong Xiujin was awakened by his shouting. With her long hair in a mess, she raised her head.

A blood-stained, swollen face appeared before Xiong Shanhe. Xiong Shanhe trembled with fear and crawled backward.

"Ah... Help... Help! There's a monster!"

Kong Xiujin recognized his voice and quickly said, "Section Chief Xiong, it's me, it's me!"

Xiong Shanhe recognized the voice and stopped to examine Kong Xiujin closely.

"You...you...you're Kong Xiujin? How did you get so ugly!"

Kong Xiujin was shocked. "I...I...What happened to me!" She touched her face and saw that there were knife wounds on her face. She was disfigured.

Kong Xiujin frantically tore at Xiong Shanhe's clothes, crying loudly, "Ah...it's all your fault, it's all your fault that I've become like this. If you hadn't threatened me with my job and seduced me, how could I have ended up like this?"

Xiong Shanhe didn't tolerate her either, and the two wrestled together, their cries echoing through the quiet alleyway.

A weasel that had come out to find food from the bushes nearby saw two people who were about to freeze to death, still howling and fighting. It quietly lay down to the side and waited for their smoke to become its food.

Meanwhile, Qian Yulan was at a high-end nightclub in City A, where she ordered a row of male models.

Each of them was stunningly beautiful. Qian Yulan was enjoying the attentive service of the male models when a subordinate came in through the door, recounted the story of those two scoundrels, and then left.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the city, Xiong Shanhe and Kong Xiujin were exhausted from their fight and lay on the ground panting.

The weasel slowly approached, and just as it was about to succeed, a passing donkey cart stopped.

The people on the donkey cart were an ordinary farmer in the village. He took pity on them and brought them on the cart back home.

The two didn't wake up again until two days later.

Kong Xiujin was overjoyed to find herself rescued. She thought that once she recovered from her injuries, she could return to the city and seduce even wealthier men. She wanted to save money, lots and lots of money, so that she could live a life of comfort and security for the rest of her days.

When Xiong Shanhe woke up, he felt very hungry and got up to find something to eat. He then realized that he had been rescued.

However, the place he is living in now seems to be a storage room. Perhaps the person who rescued him was poor and did not have enough rooms, so they put him on the wooden planks in the storage room.

After he got up, he slowly moved outside, bent over, and saw that there was an adobe kitchen opposite. He quickly sped up and moved into the kitchen.

On the low table in the kitchen, there was a basket of black cornbread, made from sweet potato flour.

He was starving, so he quickly grabbed a cornbread and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed a few times and swallowed it quickly.

He almost choked to death because he ate too fast. He stared wide-eyed and stretched his neck, desperately trying to swallow the cornbread.
