Chapter 189 Emerges (Zhao Hai's Death Countdown -2!)
“…In the beginning, they didn’t let me do anything.”

"Even after I passed the message to the Zhao family, I couldn't get in touch with them anymore."

"I thought that they were probably big fish, and they were generous and willing to pay. I didn't want to let them get away, but I didn't dare to act rashly and offend them, lest I end up not getting the money tree, but getting myself into trouble and losing my life."

Zhou Ran carefully spoke a few words about his inner journey, all the while secretly observing Jiang An Ning's expression.

Although I can't see clearly what it is.

"Ah……"

Jiang Anning slapped the man in the face without warning, knocking half of his body crooked.

However, he was pulled back by the thing tied to him from below, and due to inertia, he was dragged into the water.

After a while, he had choked on the water several times.

He almost drowned in the puddle.

cough cough...

Zhou Ran finally managed to raise his head above the water. He choked and coughed several times, his eyes filled with tears, and he was in great pain.

"Don't try to use those useless tricks on me."

Jiang Anning sneered: "Otherwise I will let you know what the consequences of being sneaky and cunning will be."

"I, I didn't..." Zhou Ran was filled with resentment, but he didn't dare to offend the person in front of him, so he tried to please him carefully and humbly.

"No?"

Jiang Anning chuckled, "What I want to hear is the main point."

"You are talking nonsense to me here. Isn't that just a trick?"

"Why? Are you trying to hold on until someone comes to rescue you?"

Jiang Anning reached out and pinched the man's chin, forcing him to open his mouth and unable to close it.

Zhou Ran gagged and vomited several times in pain.

"I advise you to face the reality and stop wasting your time."

Jiang Anning grabbed the man's chin and pulled him into the water head-on.

vomit!
Water mixed with the smell of urine and other dirty smells poured into Zhou Ran's mouth in an instant.

"save……"

As soon as he was pulled out of the water, Zhou Ran instinctively wanted to shout for help.

Before the sound had even finished falling, Jiang Anning pulled his head into the water again.

Zhou Ran shook his head vigorously and struggled.

The already turbid muddy water became even more turbid.

At this time, a large amount of mud and sand that was swept up poured into his mouth along with the dirty water, forming a thick paste on his throat, making him feel uncomfortable.

cough cough...

When he was pulled out of the water again, Zhou Ran seemed to have little strength left. He coughed a few times, trying to spit out the mud and sand that had choked his throat, but was dragged back into the water again.

This happened several times, and Zhou Ran soon lost the strength to struggle.

When he was finally pulled out of the water again, he didn't even have the strength to cough out the water. His eyes were dull and he looked like he was about to die.

He twitched from time to time and spit out some dirty water from his mouth. It was completely an instinctive movement of the body.

"I think you should learn your lesson now."

Jiang Anning stood up, raised his foot and hooked the man's chin: "Do you know how to talk now?"

Zhou Ran looked numb and distracted, staring straight ahead. After a long while, he finally regained some consciousness: "I know, I know..."

She was so well-behaved that she had no intention of resisting at all.

Jiang Anning looked at him like this, her brows curled up coldly, and a strange kind of excitement and happiness arose in her heart.

She thought of the past.

At that time, she had been abused by Zhao Hai many times and asked for help countless times, but in the end, it was all in vain.

She had no one to turn to for help and wanted to separate from her partner but failed.

But to make matters worse, he met Zhou Ran.

Zhao Hai didn't know how he knew Zhou Ran.

Oh, maybe Zhou Ran approached me intentionally.

After all, she only found out today that it was Zhou Ran who leaked the news to the Zhao family.

Maybe it was to avoid suspicion in the past, or maybe she was afraid that he would find out some clues, or maybe it was for some other reason, anyway, she didn't know.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that in the beginning, Zhao Hai and Zhou Ran had little interaction.

It was not until she was repeatedly abused at home that she sought help from the Jiang clan leader and other elders of the Jiang family, but was met with perfunctory responses and was persuaded to reconcile.

Zhao Hai and Zhou Ran gradually began to interact more frequently.

Later on, Zhou Ran would often come to Zhao Hai's house for dinner.

Once, two people got together and drank too much.

She still had a sense of responsibility as a wife, so she prepared some hangover soup and sent it over: "This is hangover soup, drink some, it will help you take the edge off...ah!"

She had only said half of her words when Zhao Hai started punching and kicking her violently, and the pot of sobering soup was broken into pieces and spilled all over her.

"I'm drinking with someone here, why are you talking nonsense?"

"Do you have a say?"

"Do you understand the rules? Do you have any sense?"

"Which wife is like you? You control everything in the world and even your husband!"

"Are you looking down on me?"

"With just this little bit of wine, do I really need to drink sobering soup?"

"Who are you looking down on?"

Zhao Hai seemed to be very concerned about the fact that "Jiang Anning would look down on him", although even Jiang Anning herself was not clear about when and what she had done to make Zhao Hai misunderstand that she looked down on him.

"I didn't..." Jiang Anning defended herself in a low voice.

But this resulted in Zhao Hai punching and kicking him even more violently.

"I'm teaching you a lesson, and you dare to talk back?"

"I really don't know who is the big and small king in this family?"

"Don't think that just because you make a few bucks, you can come and shit and piss on my head."

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

Jiang Anning was beaten so hard that his ears were buzzing and he went blind.

She begged him to stop hitting her, but it seemed to stimulate his beastly heart even more.

Zhao Hai’s attacks became more and more severe.

Zhou Ran, who had been watching from the sidelines, watched the excitement for a while before he finally remembered to say, "Hey, Brother Zhao, stop fighting."

At that time, Jiang Anning thought he was a good person.

Even though she knew very well in her heart that even if Zhao Hai was persuaded to stop at this time, and that he would attack her again after everyone left and returned to the room, she was still grateful.

At least, at this moment, she could take a break.

However, she never expected that Zhou Ran's next words would push her into a deeper hell.

"If you beat her like this, by tomorrow she will be covered in bruises, with visible injuries."

"In the past few days, there have been a lot of rumors in the village, saying that you Zhao family members are heartless. You married such a money-making cash cow, but you don't know how to cherish her at all."

"Even the clan leaders are trying to make the decision and let you divorce!" Zhao Hai was angry: "They all live by the sea, right? They are so nosy!"

"Why should they interfere in other people's affairs?"

Zhou Ran sighed in a fake manner: "It's not that the clan leader and his men want to meddle in other people's business."

He glanced at Jiang Anning, who was trembling and curled up in a ball after being beaten, and raised his chin: "It's because of this girl from your family. She went to ask others for help many times, causing a lot of trouble in the village. Almost every family knows that your family treated her badly."

"The voice of public opinion is so loud that even people outside have heard it."

"Now, matchmakers who come to our village to discuss marriages have all asked in a tactful way whether there is such a thing. Naturally, the clan leader and the village chief have to intervene. Otherwise, if it affects the marriages of other people in the village, wouldn't it be a serious sin?"

"When the time comes, if any daughter or son cannot get married, or if they marry the wrong person, won't they all blame the clan leader and his people?"

"We could even come to your house and smash and destroy things to demand an explanation. That's all possible!"

After hearing Zhou Ran's exaggeration, Zhao Hai's hatred for Jiang Anning increased a bit: "It's all caused by you, a bitch!"

As he said this, he was about to hit someone again.

Zhou Ran quickly stopped him: "Hey, brother, you should take a break! Why do you feel like everything I just said to you was in vain?"

"You beat her like this, other than giving people something to hold against you and letting them talk about your family after dinner, what else can it do?"

"Besides, don't blame me for not reminding you. The clan leader and Muramasa are looking at you and don't want to meddle in other people's business!"

"Just talk about it, make some noise, and that's it."

"If we really want to help someone get a divorce, how to deal with an orphan girl who has lost her parents and brothers and was divorced and sent home will be a headache."

"After all, the house she lived in before she got married is now property of the village."

"If you really divorce her, don't you have to return the house as well?"

"What's the difference between that and cutting off the flesh and blood of the patriarch?"

Zhou Ran: "They naturally all want to avoid trouble, so as not to cause trouble and make everyone unhappy."

He glanced at Jiang An Ning: "He is still alive, isn't he? He has food and drink, he is not exposed to the wind or rain, he is just a little bit angry, what's the problem? Just bear with it."

"But if you continue to do this, punching and kicking her without any reason, and she runs out with wounds all over her body, then the clan leader and the others will have to intervene even if they don't want to."

"Otherwise, if this kind of thing gets out, the reputation of the village will be ruined."

"Even if the clan leader is willing, the villagers will not agree!"

Zhao Hai really stopped.

He still knows the importance.

It's impossible to be stupid enough to go against the villagers.

But Jiang Anning got the upper hand in this way, and he always felt uncomfortable.

"Do I really have to be careful about what I do in the future?"

Zhao Hai glared at the person fiercely: "I'm afraid that when the time comes, she will use this as a shield to bully others and become even more undisciplined. She will become a Buddha!"

"Oh! What's so difficult about this?"

Zhou Ran smiled and gave advice: "If you want to torture someone, you can do whatever you want. There's no need to be so clumsy as you are, leaving marks all over your body and giving people something to talk about."

It was also on that day that Zhao Hai and Zhou Ran learned many ways to torture people. Each cut did not draw blood, but it was like cutting flesh and was extremely painful.

One of them was to immerse her entire face in cold water, sewage, and fecal water...

It won't leave any scars on her body that can be seen.

It will cause her immense pain and she will be in deep fear all the time.

What’s even more terrifying is that these past experiences of cruel treatment tormented her over and over again for many years afterwards, like a man-eating nightmare.

Even now, she has come back to life, and even the enemies who harmed her in the past are now in her hands, like fish on a chopping board, pigs and ducks to be slaughtered, allowing her to slaughter and play with them, just as they did to her back then.

She still occasionally felt as if she was stuck in the same predicament as before, hesitating all the time and unable to move forward.

She is alive.

But it seemed like he was dead again.

Died in those dark predicaments of the past, unable to find relief even after a lifetime of hard work.

I don’t know if it was because he suddenly remembered those unbearable past events, but the excitement that originally arose from his desire to take revenge on Zhou Ran disappeared in the blink of an eye, and then turned into violence.

Zhou Ran just felt confused.

He said nothing and did nothing.

Extremely honest.

Why did I get slapped twice again?
He was also kicked in the head twice.

Then he was pushed into the water again.

Mmmm…Gurgle gurgle.

Zhou Ran didn't even have time to think about why?
I just felt like my brain was filled with water.

In his mouth and nose, the strong fishy smell, mud, sand, and rotten leaves once again tortured him.

Why is this person so moody?

Zhou Ran hated it so much that he could only curse silently in his heart.
I was afraid that because of my heavy resentment, I would reveal an expression that was too obvious and would annoy people even more.

Gululu...

When he was pulled out of the water again, Zhou Ran forced himself to stay conscious and begged for mercy at a rapid speed: "Please spare me, please spare me, I'll do anything you ask me to do, please, let me go, ugululu..."

Before he could finish his begging, he was pushed into the water again.

Even this time, he stayed in the water longer than before.

He felt as if he was about to die.

When he was pulled to the surface of the water again, he couldn't help but wail for mercy even more urgently: "Let me go..."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang An Ning pushed the man into the puddle faster and harder.

Zhou Ran not only felt like he was about to drown, he also felt like he was about to be split in two.

hmmm...

Jiang Anning looked at the person blowing bubbles in the water with a cold expression.

Otherwise, someone would need to continue to explain more details about the person behind the scenes.

I really want to drown him like this.

"Can you speak now?" Jiang Anning asked coldly.

Zhou Ran's mind was in a mess, but he still answered subconsciously with a strong desire to survive: "Yes, yes!"

He told Jiang An Ning in detail and concisely how he had tried to interfere and steal Zhao Hai's love over the years, and how he introduced Jiao Niang to Zhao Hai.

Later, those mysterious people from the capital passed on the message and asked him to instigate the villagers and find an excuse to divide up Jiang Anning's money.

Before, he didn't have any suitable opportunities.

Until Jiang An Ning suddenly changed his temperament and sent Zhao Hai and the Zhao family to jail.

"Little girl?"

"Did you introduce Zhao Hai's lover to him?"

Jiang Anning inexplicably thought of the new owner of the houseboat who was not right in every way.

"Yes, I introduced you." Zhou Ran was a little scared and wanted to curl up into a ball, but he was tied up like a dumpling. The ropes were soaked in water and became tighter around his body, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Zhou Ran didn't understand why this person was so concerned about Zhao Hai and Jiang An Ning's affairs. He felt curious, but didn't dare to ask more.

"I was thinking that since Zhao Hai had another woman outside, he wouldn't have as much time to spend on Jiang An Ning, so I would naturally have the opportunity to take advantage of it."

I feel a little nauseous, take it easy.
