Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 261 Perilous

"You bitch, do you really want to die?"

This was the third time that Xie Lili had interrupted Song's meal. He felt exhausted and tired and couldn't get excited, so he became increasingly irritable.

"Death? I'd rather die than let you go!"

Xie Lili's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was covered in sticky makeup. She tried her best to squat down and forcefully pulled her wrists out of the rope loop. Of course, she hoped she could stand up, to increase her chances of resistance.

"Hoo... hiccup!"

Taking a deep breath and letting out a burp, Song squinted his eyes.

Xie Lili's attitude left him hesitant and troubled. If this woman insisted on calling the police, he would have to kill her to conceal his identity. But killing her…

Putting aside the fact that the police are quite capable these days, just the question of how to commit murder without leaving any evidence or clues is something Song said was completely outside his knowledge. Add to that fingerprints and other random things, and the best way to destroy evidence is to bury or burn it, but he's just a small-time salesman; where would he get such skills?
If killing someone will only lead to your arrest, then what's the point of killing them?
Taking a deep breath, Song decided to have a serious talk with this wicked woman.

Anyway, she didn't really lose anything, right? A bar-goer like that is definitely not a virgin. In that case, why not just pay her some money and let it go?
Of course, it would be even more perfect if we could play one more round after paying.

"You're dreaming!"

Sherily was furious. She was just a heavy drinker, but she didn't lack self-respect!
Besides, this guy doesn't even know his own worth; does he think he deserves her compromise?

As for killing her to cover it up... Xie Lili wasn't stupid. In this empty rented room, there weren't many things that could pose a threat to her. If Song dared to take action himself, Xie Lili would be quite happy to have such an opportunity—a chance to fight back.

I'll bite your throat and smash it!

Xie Lili stared wide-eyed.

Mr. Song immediately became angry.

He was undoubtedly furious that he had been put in such a predicament by a plump woman three years his senior who had been married three times. To be honest, he was a fairly hardworking man, earning a monthly income of at least five figures, and at least five or six thousand, so he never had to worry about his expenses. It was just a pity that he ended up marrying the wrong person hastily, just for the sake of marriage, which emptied his savings and left him in this predicament.

Seeing this equally stubborn and annoying woman in front of him again, fueled by alcohol, anger surged to his head.

"Hmph! You're not afraid of death, are you! Fine, you bitch, you've got guts! Yes! I wouldn't dare kill anyone, after all, I've never really done anything bad in my life. If it weren't for you, you bitch, seducing me, I wouldn't be in this situation now!"

He angrily finished a can of beer, ignored Xie Lili's struggles, put on his pants, went out, fetched a kettle of water, closed the door again to make the room dark, and then turned on the power to start the electric kettle to boil.

"Once the water boils, I'll splash it in your face! You're resisting, aren't you? Stubborn, aren't you? You think I can't do anything to you? Then you'll get a taste of what boiling water at 100 degrees Celsius feels like! I'll scald your face and make your skin rip open!"

Xie Lili's eyes widened suddenly. How dare this beast be so vicious?
She wasn't afraid of death, she really wasn't! Even disfigurement wasn't that important to her. But… the unbearable agony of severe burns… Xie Lili shuddered. She wasn't someone who could stubbornly accept that kind of future.

"Hehe... Scared now, aren't you!"

Xie Lili's stiffness gave Song a glimmer of hope; he had finally found a way to control this woman!
"Hmph! If I call myself a coward, I'm even more incompetent than you!"

Xie Lili bit her lip.

How could I possibly escape the hot water in such a cramped space? I tried desperately to call for help early this morning, but for some reason, everyone around me was so indifferent. Not a single person even came to ask what was wrong, not a single kind soul.

Do you know why you don't have it?

Song sat leisurely on the bed, drinking and munching on a steamed bun: "Because that bitch causes a scene upstairs every few days, everyone here is used to it. She screams for help, accuses me of abuse, all the time! I've lost all face, and everyone around me is used to it. Besides, what kind of good stuff can live in this kind of doghouse? You believe I can go out right now and find two or three guys to gang rape you and see how you resist then!"

Xie Lili shuddered again.

Even with all her confidence, she knew she was no match for two or three adult men in this situation. The nightmare that awaited her was unimaginable.

But... why are there still such filthy and polluted places in Zhang City? How could Zhang City have such a remote and eerie environment where no one helps call the police when someone cries for help? Have I already been taken away from Zhang City?

It should be... unlikely, right?

"Forget it! This place is too remote, the police can't get here. Even if they did, they wouldn't be able to find this room. Didn't you see? There's not even a window, it's a basement! It's only three hundred a month including utilities, why do you think it's cheap? Why do you think I have to work two hours early every day? Because I... can only afford this kind of doghouse! But the good thing is, I just have to endure it for another four months..."

After resting for a while, Song regained much of his strength and energy. The electric kettle by the bedside was gradually boiling, and he went to Xie Lili again.

"Tell me! Will you let me have my way this time? To be honest, I'm not really interested anymore, I'm just not satisfied! Let me have my fun, and this will be over. I'll take a picture of you, and if you don't call the police afterwards, we'll call it quits! How about it?"

Seeing Xie Lili about to attack again, Song grunted, "Three counts! If you keep acting like a jerk, I'll just throw water on you!"

How could Xie Lili possibly compromise?

With bloodshot eyes fixed on Song, Xie Lili gritted her teeth and pulled the rope desperately, causing the radiator to shake violently.

"court death!"

Song got bored and turned to get the kettle.

‘Bang bang! ’

The sudden knocking at the door startled Song, and made Xie Lili's eyes light up. She was about to call for help, but then remembered Song's earlier talk about gang rape, and hesitated. "Who is it?"

As he put the kettle back on its base, Song let out a disgruntled groan.

"Mr. Song, your wife sent me here. Come out and sign a divorce agreement, then I'll leave. Heh... A flat fee of 200,000 yuan plus leaving with nothing, and you'll be free! Sister Xue said you old hag, there's no money left for you!"

A cold yet mocking voice came from outside, instantly turning Song's face bright red.

Who the hell are you?!

"I'm just following Sister Xue, it has nothing to do with you. Oh right, you've forgotten me. I was the one who helped you get married to Sister Xue. It's a pity you're useless, you couldn't seize the opportunity and can't even have a son."

The people outside were still laughing, which made Song's face even uglier.

No outsider could possibly know so much about his affair with that man surnamed Xue. Even the fact that his son wasn't his own was known only to him and that man surnamed Xue. In other words, the bastard outside the door must indeed be that bitch's man.

Has she found a new target for blackmail and decided to set herself free?
Compared to freedom, a mere two hundred thousand is nothing.

Taking a deep breath, Song glanced at Xie Lili, who remained silent behind him, and coughed, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll get dressed! You go upstairs and wait for me, I'll come up later to see what's going on!"

Hearing footsteps outside the door, Song turned around and glared at Xie Lili: "Dare to make a sound, or I'll kill you! Now you better behave yourself and don't move. If it's really good news and I'm in a good mood, I might let you go."

"Humph!"

Xie Lili snorted coldly. How could she not have heard the voice of the person outside?

Who else could it be but Qian Wei? Only this shameless old bastard could pull off such a convincing thug act. Why didn't I see it coming back from the Municipal Public Security Bureau? How could Qian Wei have managed to turn things around and thrive at the Zhanghe Police Station?

Compared to him, I...

Xie Lili pursed her lips, unsure whether she should feel ashamed or happy when facing her colleagues later.

'Boom! '

A heavy thud came from outside, followed by a muffled groan. Zhang Yong's voice quickly came through, stopping everyone from going in, only calling out, "Mimi, go in and take a look first."

Xie Lili knew that this was respecting her privacy.

So when a cat with a blank expression slowly squeezed through the crack in the door, she still managed to force a smile.

"Tsk! Not bad luck."

Lin Ge saw Xie Lili's appearance. Although she was disheveled, covered in injuries, and her clothes were in disarray, at least he couldn't smell the odor of having been raped. The woman had struggled fiercely; one stocking was torn, and the other was missing. Below her skirt, her legs were covered in scratches and abrasions, the longest running from her knee to her thigh, demonstrating the intensity and desperate struggle she had put in.

Her upper body was exposed, thankfully her bra was still on and she wasn't completely exposed. As for her face and chest, they were completely unrecognizable; she looked like a ghost!
"Thanks for your hard work!"

Lin Ge sighed and let out another "Aww".

Xie Lili's ability to persevere until now is truly remarkable, both in terms of hardship and difficulty. Lin Ge, who was outside, also heard Song threatening her with hot water, which prompted him to stop Zhang Yong from barging in, allowing Qian Wei to carry out the deception instead.

For some reason, Xie Lili, who was originally stubborn and strong, suddenly felt a stinging sensation in her nose after hearing the cat's meow.

After holding on for most of the day, she finally couldn't take it anymore. As the cat approached, her eyes reddened, her head drooped, and she began to wail loudly. Her crying was so heartbreaking that it was painful for anyone outside the door to hear.

But in the end, they were saved.

Fortunately, it was the result of her perseverance. If it had been any later, if she had been any weaker, no one knows what kind of situation would have occurred when the police arrived.

"Mimi!"

Zhang Yong tossed a blue shirt into the room; it was a police-issued shirt.

Lin Ge had no idea whether those stinky men outside had misunderstood something. He simply walked lazily to the door and flung it open with a single swipe of his paw, leaving the men who were standing awkwardly outside stunned.

Upon seeing Xie Lili restrained in the corner, the group immediately realized what was happening and rushed to her rescue.

Untying the ropes, Zhang Yong didn't even bother to look at Xie Lili's bloodied wrists. He grabbed Xie Lili and hugged her tightly, letting the woman wipe her snot and tears all over his chest.
.
Xie Lili didn't even care about the pain; she grabbed Zhang Yong's clothes and wailed, saying things like "I'm sorry" and "I won't do it again." Seeing this, Zhao Zhigang picked up his shirt from the ground and draped it over Xie Lili's thighs, then shivered from the cold.

The ambulance arrived quickly, and surprisingly, Yang Xiaotong was the one leading it.

Lin Ge and Xie Lili both understood Zhang Yong's concerns. After all, if Xie Lili were really... well, only when the doctor was also one of their own could they more reliably cover up the matter and prevent it from spreading.

"You idiot! Now you know this will happen, right? I told you to drink less and stay away from places like that, and you were giving me attitude before?"

As soon as Yang Xiaotong got out of the car, she launched into a tirade of abuse at Xie Lili.

Xie Lili shuddered and didn't dare to refute her.
