Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 77: Survival from a desperate situation

A dimly lit basement.

Shen Qianhe was wearing a black fishtail dress. Beneath her gorgeous appearance, there was a hint of coldness and determination that did not belong to her.

She looked down at the three people on the ground with a gaze as sharp as a knife.

She threw the paternity test report hard in the faces of the three people. The paper drew a sharp arc in the air and fell on the wet ground.

"Why lie?"

Her voice was cold, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "Where is my mother?"

Xie Jincheng sat on a chair in the back, holding a cigarette between his fingers. His expression looked even more gloomy in the smoke.

The bodyguards standing upright all around looked imposing, making the atmosphere in the entire basement even more depressing.

Yuan Xiao trembled, tears streaming down her cheeks, she sobbed and said, "I really don't know, Miss Qianhe, please let us go."

Yuan Xiao's mother Lin Ruo hugged her tightly. Both mother and daughter were shaking with fear, and their voices were trembling. "Yes, Miss Qianhe, we really didn't lie to you."

Shen Qianhe sneered, "Since you didn't lie to me, how do you explain this result?"

Lin Ruo’s husband Yuan Biao picked up the report on the ground, took a look at it, and his face turned even paler.

He replied tremblingly: "But we really didn't lie!"

Shen Qianhe's frown deepened: "So what you mean is that this test report is fake?"

Yuan Biao's body trembled, and he continued to defend himself: "When I handed Xu Shuqin over to the traffickers, I only knew that she was sold to Que San from Dabao Village as his wife. In the past few years, Lin Rou would ask about Xu Shuqin's situation from time to time, so I would also visit Que San every now and then to learn about her situation."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his eyes kept glancing at the bodyguards standing behind Xie Jincheng, fearing that they would start fighting if they disagreed.

"When Xu Shuqin was first sold in, she ran away once and was beaten by Lame San, who broke her leg. Lame San was afraid that she would run away again, so he locked her up in the cellar."

"Later, she became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter for Lame San. One time, the child had a fever, and she took the child to the town for treatment. As a result, she was hit by a truck, so she had to amputate her limbs."

Yuan Biao spoke with a trembling voice, and Shen Qianhe's blood boiled as he listened.

Lin Rou, she has such a dark heart!

Shen Qianhe gritted his teeth, grabbed Yuan Biao's hair and warned him, "If you dare to lie, you know the consequences."

Yuan Biao begged for mercy quickly, his voice still tearful, "Miss Qianhe, my family's lives are in your hands, I dare not!"

"It's good to know."

Shen Qianhe let go of his hand and turned to look at one of the bodyguards: "Bring Lame San in."

Lame San’s real name is Wu Sanbao, and he is the third son of the village tyrant of Dabao Village.

He was short and one of his legs was disabled due to an accident in his early years. He walked unsteadily, so he was nicknamed "Lame San".

Despite his physical defects, he was extremely fierce and domineering, and everyone in Dabao Village knew him.

Shen Qianhe questioned Lame San in detail and finally confirmed that what they said was true.

That means that Xu Shuqin had been replaced by someone else before she was sold to Dabao Village by human traffickers.

Shen Qianhe looked at Yuan Biao: "What was the name of the human trafficker back then? Where is he now? Are you still in contact?"

Yuan Biao shrank back and answered cautiously, "I don't know her real name. People in the underworld call her Aunt Mei. But Aunt Mei has disappeared since she did the job on Xu Shuqin."

Disappeared?

How can it be so coincidental.

Shen Qianhe frowned, feeling uneasy.

At this moment, Yuan Xiao's cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed it was Lin Rou.

"Answer the phone, put it on speakerphone."

Shen Qianhe gave orders in a cold tone.

Yuan Xiao's heart tightened. She didn't dare to delay at all. She quickly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, auntie."

Lin Rou's voice rang out from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Xiao, are you still in Beijing?"

Yuan Xiao shuddered slightly and glanced at Shen Qianhe who was sitting beside him. Shen Qianhe's gaze was cold and piercing like an ice cone.

Her heart tightened, and she timidly replied: "Yes... I'm still in the capital."

Lin Rou didn't seem to notice Yuan Xiao's abnormality and continued, "Oh, can you contact your parents? I called them yesterday, but they didn't answer. Could something have happened?"

"No...no."

Yuan Xiao was flustered. She tried to stay calm and explained, "I remember my parents said a few days ago that the store was busy recently. I guess they didn't answer the phone..."

Lin Rou continued, "Then when you have time, give your parents a call and ask them to get back to me."

Yuan Xiao: "Okay."

Lin Rou: "By the way, I've been trying to figure out a way to help you with your job, so don't worry. Your uncle-in-law's company has had some problems recently, and when this period of time is over, I'll ask him to let you work at his company."

Yuan Xiao thanked her repeatedly: "Thank you, auntie."

Lin Rou: "Also, don't go to see Mu Mu for the time being. She is more than two months pregnant and the fetus is not yet firmly established. She needs to rest."

Yuan Xiao: "I understand."

Lin Rou: "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. Remember to ask your parents to call me back. I have something urgent to talk to them about."

After the call ended, there was a brief silence in the basement.

Yuan Xiao looked at Shen Qianhe, waiting for her next instruction.

Shen Qianhe sat on the chair next to Xie Jincheng, flipping through his phone without saying a word.

Yuan Xiao didn't dare to disturb her and could only wait quietly.

Ten minutes later, she finally spoke: "Call Lin Rou back."

.......

It was almost dawn when Shen Qianhe and Xie Jincheng left.

Shen Qianhe held Xie Jincheng's arm and walked lightly in front of him. The two of them stretched out their figures under the dim street lights, looking very close.

Behind them, Yuan Xiao followed them with his head down, looking a little embarrassed with his disheveled hair and dirty face.

Before getting in the car, Shen Qianhe stopped and confirmed again: "Do you know what to do?"

Yuan Xiao raised his head and looked at Shen Qianhe, with a firm and resolute look in his eyes: "I know."

Shen Qianhe raised her eyebrows in satisfaction. She patted Yuan Xiao on the shoulder and encouraged him, "If this matter is done well, I will help you become his legitimate wife."

Yuan Xiao was a little excited: "Ms. Qianhe, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"

Shen Qianhe smiled brilliantly, like a blooming flower in the night.

She turned and walked towards the Maybach. Before getting in the car, she turned back and said to Yuan Xiao, "Before you leave, buy some nice clothes first. I'll transfer the money to you."

Yuan Xiao: "Yes! Thank you Miss Qianhe!"

Shen Qianhe: "Don't let me down."

The car drove away slowly.

Yuan Xiao stood alone under the dim street lights, his heart filled with uncontrollable joy.

She thought she was dead.

Unexpectedly, I was able to find a way out of this desperate situation.
