Chapter 44: The Person in the Basement (Part Four)

After pushing the door open, Qiao Jiuyin entered the house and rushed straight to the second room on the first floor. As she stood beside the floor, she hesitated for a moment. In the end, she bent down and picked up the carpet.

A narrow staircase diagonally led the way underground.

Qiao Jiuyin took out a flashlight from her bag and walked ahead under the faint light.

At the end of the stairs was a long corridor in the basement. After walking down that corridor, Qiao Jiuyin finally reached the end.

The endpoint was a ten-square-meter imprisonment room.

The prison room was surrounded by a dirt wall on three sides. On the front were two bulletproof glass doors. Through the transparent glass door, Qiao Jiuyin saw the man locked in the prison room. It was a man with slightly white hair and a thin body. He looked to be in his fifties, but he was actually older.

Or perhaps, younger.

What surprised Qiao Jiuyin even more was that the man had no clothes on.

Whip marks and blood smears were all over his body. New and old injuries intertwined on his thin back. It was a shocking and scary sight.

Qiao Jiuyin’s flashlight circled the imprisonment room. When she saw the used condom on the ground, she was completely shocked.

“Ah!”

She was so shocked that she dropped the flashlight in her hand.

This commotion finally woke the man up.

The man opened his eyes and stared at the pale Qiao Jiuyin with his turbid eyes.

“Ah!”

His eyes lit up like a desperate beast that had seen hope. He suddenly got up and crawled toward the glass door with his hands and feet. Slamming the glass door, he shouted at Qiao Jiuyin.

“Save me!

“Please, let me out!”

The man seemed to have gone mad. Due to his eagerness and excitement, his expression became hideous.

The glass door creaked because of his slaps. Qiao Jiuyin stared at the lunatic in front of her and retreated a few steps in fear. She then turned around and ran. After running for a while, she rushed back, picked up the flashlight on the ground, and again ran away under the man’s despairing gaze.

As the man watched Qiao Jiuyin escape, he slammed the door even harder.

“Don’t go, let me out!

“Please, let me out!”

Qiao Jiuyin heard the man behind her shout at the top of her lungs and ran even faster.

After leaving the bungalow, she stumbled back to her car. She closed the door and leaned against the car seat while trembling. When she closed her eyes, the man’s despairing eyes and the mess on the floor flashed in her mind.

Her hand that was holding the flashlight trembled non-stop, and her breathing became rapid and disorderly.

When she recalled the scene, she thought of something. Before her and Qiao Jiusheng’s accident had happened, she had originally planned to lock Qiao Jiusheng up for the rest of her life and not let her see anyone. Unfortunately, Qiao Jiusheng had escaped.

Today, she saw a person locked up by Fang Mu. Qiao Jiuyin was flustered. She was not frightened by the man’s miserable state, but by herself, who was similar to Fang Mu.

She did not know who the person in the basement was to Fang Mu, but she had also wanted to deal with her blood sister this way.

Qiao Jiuyin found it hard to accept that she was so cruel.

However, she did not regret it.

After sitting in the car for a long time, Qiao Jiuyin’s mood drastically changed. She felt extremely happy when she realized that she was the same kind of person as Fang Mu. Such similar people should live together.

Qiao Jiuyin picked up her bag and returned to the house.

No one knew what she had done in the basement.

***

The secretary knocked on the vice president’s door, and the person opposite said, “President Fang, Madam is here.”

Fang Mu looked up in surprise. His wife had not come to the company to look for him for a long time.

“Invite her up.”

The secretary personally went downstairs and picked up Qiao Jiuyin.

Qiao Jiuyin was carrying a lunch box. When she saw Fang Mu, she immediately flashed a bright smile. “Brother Mu, are you surprised to see me?” Qiao Jiuyin shook the lunch box in her hand and smiled, innocently and cutely.

The smile infected Fang Mu. He was not feeling hungry, yet he now had an appetite. “Xiao Sheng, why are you here instead of resting at home?”

Holding her hand, Fang Mu led Qiao Jiuyin into the office.

He closed the office door and placed the lunch box on the coffee table.

The two of them then cuddled for a while before sitting together for lunch.

Qiao Jiuyin had not vomited much in these two days, but her appetite was still weak. She only ate half a bowl of rice. After wiping her mouth, she said to Fang Mu, “My big brother and grandfather are coming on the 22nd of next month.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Mu turned his head and said to her, “The accommodations have been arranged. They will be staying at our house. What do you think?”

“Alright, my big brother and grandfather are not picky people. Besides, I can be more at ease if they choose to live in our house.” Qiao Jiuyin asked again, “In those few days, we might as well move back too.”

“Okay.”

“Oh right! Do Grandpa and Big Brother have any restrictions on food? If they do, remember to tell the chef in advance.”

“I will.”
