“What has it got to do with us whether your son can go to university or not! If your son is not capable enough, why should we sacrifice our admission slot to him! You’re the one who let your son down! We’re not the ones who let your son down!” Xia He roared.
“But I really don’t have any other option. Please help me! If you give the slot to my son, you won’t lose much!” Auntie Zhang said seriously.
“What a devious person you are…” Qiao Mei said helplessly.
Auntie Zhangs hometown back home was in a small mountain valley. When she was young, she always wanted to go and take a look at the outside world. In the end, she was tricked into going to Country M. When she first arrived in Country M, she did not have an entry permit and had no legal status. She did many illicit jobs then and even worked as a streetwalker. She did whatever she could to earn money.
Her current husband, Charlie, was one of her clients. At that time, Charlie was very handsome and dressed very well and he looked like a young master from an upper-class family. He was one of Auntie Zhangs regular clients. As time passed, she gradually developed feelings for him.
Charlie expressed that he felt sorry for Auntie Zhang. He was willing to give Auntie Zhang a home and a new place to stay. He was also willing to spend a lot of money on her, so she fell into a love trap very quickly.
Not long after, Auntie Zhang became pregnant with Charlie’s child. The two of them got married as planned and Auntie Zhang finally had a legal status to stay in the country. However, it did not take long for her to realize that all the money which Charlie spent freely were not his and that he also owed a lot of gambling debts. By then, the baby was about to be born.
Charlie would beat her up whenever he was in a bad mood and once, he even almost killed her! After giving birth, she acted irresponsibly and ran away on her own, living in another country for a while.
Every day after that, she regretted not bringing her child with her. A few years later, she fled back to the capital and lived there for more than 10 years. Some time ago, when she found out that her son was still alive, she became extremely emotional. She came back this time to take care of her child and to leave this place with him.
The thing was, with the Xia family’s ability, it should have been easy for them to find out about Auntie Zhangs past. The reason why Xia Wen did not find out anything about Auntie Zhangs background was because someone had purposely hidden the truth.
“Who are you working for?” Qiao Mei asked sharply.
“I’m just me. Since you’ve all found out about this, you can kill me if you want,” Auntie Zhang said stubbornly.
“Death is too good for you! Tell us honestly about the person who sent you to follow us!” Xia He roared angrily.
Auntie Zhang did not say anything. After Qiao Mei stared at Auntie Zhang for a long time, she took out two bullets from the gun and put on the silencer before handing the gun to Luo Hui.
“l don’t want to be the one to do anything to you. I’ll give you a chance. If you pull the trigger and there’s no sound, you can leave with the treasures on the floor. I’ll also give you a gold bar. With the gold bar, you and your son will have a much better life,” Qiao Mei said to Auntie Zhang as she took out a gold bar from her pocket.
“What if there’s a sound?” Auntie Zhang asked.
“If there’s a sound, you can only blame it on your bad luck. There are a total of four bullets inside. I don’t need you to die. You can stay alive. For every shot you get, you have to tell me one piece of information about the person who sent you. Otherwise, you’ll have to continue shooting yourself,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll kill you after I get the gun?” Auntie Zhang asked.
“Do you dare to do it?” Qiao Mei looked at Auntie Zhang mockingly.
Luo Yu and Luo Hui tied Auntie Zhang to a stool and made her face the wall. Her hand was tied up such that she could only touch her own leg. Luo Hui walked over and stuffed the gun into Auntie Zhangs hand.
“If you get shot, you have to tell me the information about the person who sent you. If you don’t tell me, I’ll keep torturing you and I’ll also slash all the tendons in your son’s body. If you tell me, I can consider applying my medicine to your wounds. You’ve stayed in the capital for so long, so you must have heard how good my family’s medicine is,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“I’ll talk! I’ll talk now! Let go of me!” Auntie Zhang struggled and shouted.
“Tsk, you’re so boring,” Qiao Mei said with a slight frown. Luo Hui took the gun from Auntie Zhang’s hand and turned her to face them. Qiao Mei asked,
“Tell me who sent you..”
