A female protagonist who suffers abuse in a novel? I'm flipping the table and going crazy on th

Gu Ting followed her gaze and then took a closer look at the full appearance of the shackle.

These are not ordinary restraints or shackles, but sophisticated electronic positioning locks.

These shackles have built-in positioning and tracking functions. If they are forcibly removed or the wearer moves beyond the permitted range, an alarm will be triggered immediately.

Wen Qi stepped forward, bent down slightly, and closely examined the structure and wiring of the leg irons.

When Jiang Shining saw Wen Qi approaching, her legs instinctively shrank back, her eyes filled with alertness and wariness.

"Mom, don't be afraid," Gu Ting reassured softly. "She's Miss Wen; she's the one who helped me find you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shining's tense body relaxed slightly, but her vigilance remained. She raised her eyes and carefully examined Wen Qi in front of her.

Wen Qi straightened up: "This is the latest model of smart positioning leg irons. They are explosion-proof, tamper-proof, and have built-in real-time positioning and remote control."

Forcibly disassembling it will only trigger the self-locking mechanism and could even injure your mother's bones. Furthermore, moving it outside the designated area will activate the motor.

Gu Ting helped Jiang Shining up: "Then what can we do? Is there really no way to get my mother out of here?"

"Hand it over to the police, and remove the handcuffs according to standard law enforcement procedures."

This lock is very difficult to remove, and in the current situation, handing it over to the police is the safest course of action.

"Okay! I'll do whatever you say!" Gu Ting took out his phone.

"Don't call the police! Ah Ting, you absolutely mustn't call the police!"

Jiang Shining said in a panic and urgency, "Gu Cheng has connections and informants in the police station. He'll find out."

Before she was imprisoned, she would secretly call the police for help, and she would always be sent back.

More than a decade of imprisonment and torture instilled in her a deep-seated fear of calling the police.

She didn't trust the police, nor did she believe in fairness and justice. She only knew that calling the police would only bring more cruel retaliation.

Seeing Jiang Shining's fear, Gu Ting felt a lump in his throat. He held her thin hand and gently comforted her, "Mom, don't be afraid. Things are different now. Gu Cheng has been formally detained by the police. He can't pull any tricks."

Jiang Shining was somewhat astonished: "Then...that beast...is in jail?"

"Yes, he can't escape." Gu Ting's eyes flashed with hatred, but then he gently comforted his mother: "Mom, things are a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you in detail later. Now, focus on getting better so that no one can bully you anymore."

Jiang Shining's tense and fearful nerves gradually relaxed.

Wen Qi said, "Don't handle this matter discreetly."

Gu Ting looked up at the sound.

"We must make a big fuss, the bigger the commotion, the better for you and your child."

If you don't make a fuss when you first discover something, and then publicize it later, you're likely to be accused of putting on a show.

Once the matter is suppressed, Gu Cheng will very likely be able to clear his name and escape punishment.

Gu Cheng was detained just then, and the incident came to light and was confirmed.

Tear off all his pretenses, expose all his sordid secrets hidden in the shadows to the light of day, and nail him to the grave!

It's impossible for me to get out of here in this lifetime.

Gu Ting's mind worked incredibly fast, and he instantly understood Wen Qi's deeper meaning: "I'll call the police right now."

He wanted to completely strip away Gu Cheng's hypocritical facade and make him pay a heavy price for his evil deeds!

Gu Ting dialed the police.

Wen Qi took out her phone and took pictures of the torture instruments covering the walls of the dark room, and also took a few pictures of Jiang Shining.

The photos captured her frail figure and the mix of old and new scars covering her body.

The electronic ankle cuffs were tightly embedded in the skin and flesh around my ankle.

A few photos reveal the appalling state of the evil prison and the suffering victims.

Wen Qi opened her social media account and edited a minimalist yet explosive post:

[Shocking! In a society governed by the rule of law, in broad daylight, an old villa concealed a hidden room where illegal imprisonment, torture, and abuse were committed. This shatters our worldview.]

Image caption: Several high-resolution original images showing a dark room filled with torture instruments and the figure of a victim with shackles and injuries.

Wen Qi also tagged the legal affairs account, the news account, the national official website account, and the police general affairs official website account.

Wen Qi's social media account has reached a new high, ranking first across all platforms.

It's been at the top of the trending topics since the scandal broke.

The news went viral instantly.

The high-definition, realistic photos from the scene are incredibly impactful.

Various instruments of restraint and torture, a dark and oppressive room, victims wearing electronic shackles, their bodies covered in wounds, old and new, every detail is a visual shock to netizens.

"Holy crap? Is this for real?"

"This dark room looks terrifying, with torture instruments all over the walls. Could a normal person do something like that? It's pure psychopathism!"

"Is that an electronic tracking ankle cuff? The skin is dented in; it looks painful!"

"Look at the victim's condition, so thin he's just skin and bones, covered in wounds. How long was he tortured?"

"There are demons among us! Which hypocrite is so vicious? Arrest him immediately and sentence him severely!"

"Who is it, Sister Qi? Where is this? Is this really not a scene?"

"It's definitely not acting; Sister Qi has tagged various official government websites."

The hype started immediately.

This information sparked public outrage, and the reaction spread rapidly.

"I live nearby. Today there was a huge commotion here. Excavators and demolition teams came in to demolish villas. I thought it was an urban renewal demolition, but it turns out they're digging up evil."

"The machines haven't been removed from the site yet! I saw a huge construction site fence with my own eyes; it's definitely not a movie shoot."

Major marketing accounts, entertainment bloggers, and social news accounts reacted swiftly to the news.

#Hidden Prison Cell Found in Villa# #Major Case of Illegal Imprisonment in a Society Ruled by Law# #Current Status of Victims Imprisoned for Years in Electronic Shackles#

Several keywords firmly occupy the top spots on the trending searches.

Media reporters, including those from major television stations, news media, and independent media outlets, quickly mobilized and rushed to the Xijiao District of Dongcheng.

Wen Qi posted the coordinates with location information, and people nearby flocked to the scene immediately.

No need to take detours, head straight to the crime scene!

Inside the compound, a group of demolition workers, temporarily suspended and awaiting orders, huddled together in twos and threes, chatting and scrolling through their phones.

"Holy crap? This place in the trending topics looks so familiar!"

"What's wrong??"

"Look, this is the location of the trending topic, and this picture looks like the door to the secret room we just opened."

The crowd gathered around and examined it closely, and it was indeed true.

Upon seeing the contents of the photo, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Before the demolition, they were all in cahoots. This boss was incredibly generous, hiring an entire demolition team at a high salary and forbidding them from violently demolishing the building, only allowing them to precisely dismantle and investigate the hidden rooms in the mezzanine.

They privately speculated that perhaps there were hidden antique treasures here, and they wanted our help to find and excavate these hidden treasures!

The scene in the picture has angered everyone.

The crowd gathered together, chattering and speculating about the victim's identity.

Hearing the workers' discussion, Su Xinghe took out his phone and opened the trending topics list on social media.

The top post on the list was made by Wen Qi ten minutes ago.

Su Xinghe opened Wen Qi's account and was stunned by the text and pictures on it.

Dark rooms, confined cages, various instruments of torture, and victims covered in wounds...

Considering Wen Qi's earlier statement about finding Mr. Gu's mother...

He looked up in the direction of the darkroom.

The imprisoned victim was Gu Ting's mother.

He had learned about the Gu family during this time. Eleven years ago, Gu Ting's biological mother passed away due to a serious illness that could not be cured.

Was Gu Ting's mother imprisoned for eleven years?

Su Xinghe's hair stood on end instantly.

Police and reporters arrived at the scene almost simultaneously.

Several groups of police arrived.

One side was the police who came after Gu Ting called the police.

On one hand, the police received a major case report that had gone viral online and attached great importance to this heinous case of illegal imprisonment, and ordered their officers to be dispatched.

A large contingent of journalists and media personnel, along with a police force, were present and present.

It was a grand and spectacular event.

Reporters carried cameras, microphones, and recording equipment, keeping their lenses focused on the scene and providing real-time coverage.

Police officers lined up neatly and quickly deployed to control the situation, maintain order, and collect evidence for investigation.

The area, which had just been precisely excavated by the demolition team and was full of rubble, saw police enter the villa, followed closely by reporters.

The moment the dark room appeared before them, everyone held their breath.

The camera pans across the walls covered with torture instruments, the dimly lit and oppressive enclosed space, before settling on Jiang Shining, a slender woman covered in wounds with electronic shackles on her ankles, in the corner.

A direct visual impact is far more frightening than pictures or words.

The pictures are infuriating enough, but seeing the real scene with your own eyes truly makes you realize just how tragic and desperate those years of imprisonment were, and just how terrifying it was.
