Her analysis was reasonable. And I also came up with a plan, since the satellite phone couldn't be repaired, I could try to use its components to make other small devices, as long as they could transmit simple distress signals outward.

  The person who left the first-aid kit and the walkie-talkie, didn't they also anticipate this? Knowing that even if it was damaged by some accident, I would still be able to come up with a solution. Thinking of this, my heart reignites with confidence.

  A woman's wailing cry suddenly came from downstairs.

  Something's happened again.

  This time it was Chen Baozhu's turn. The door of the room opened, she was crying and shouting: "Bastard! I shouldn't have believed you!" Her boyfriend Zheng Zhiwei rushed out of the room with a very embarrassed look, his face covered in blood from being scratched. Chen Baozhu followed him, trying to pounce on him.

  The ropes on both of their bodies had been untied at some point. So, it was indeed him.

  Zheng Zhiwei ran head-on into a thug, but wasn't afraid in the slightest. Instead, he grabbed the thug's hand and shouted: "Stop her!" The thug surprisingly listened, and together they walked forward, grabbing Chen Baozhu with one swift motion. Chen Baozhu struggled desperately, but was thrown back into the room. The two exchanged a glance, and faintly visible through the door was a flurry of punches and kicks. The "disobedient" Chen Baozhu was beaten, and afterwards there wasn't a single sound.

  It seems that when the two were locked in the room, they must have said something or Zheng Zhiwei exposed his true nature. That's why Chen Baozhu was so agitated and angry, and Zheng Zhiwei was so disheveled.

  Two hooligans brought Shangmen out, and at this time Su Wei also walked down the stairs, smiling but not quite smiling as she looked at Zheng Zhiwei. Zheng Zhiwei took a cigarette from one of the hooligans and sat down with a huff, cursing: "Damn it, an ugly and stupid woman, really thinks I'd marry her? Brother Su, you guys can play with this woman, no need to give me face anymore. Damn it, an old virgin, looks just like her mother, makes me sick just looking at her. After we split the money, I'll leave right away, who's going to keep her company?"

  Zheng Zhiwei's anger grew as he spoke, and he stood up abruptly, walking to the door and saying in a neutral tone: "Chen Baozhu, don't think I don't know about your past? You liked that young pretty boy and almost eloped with him, didn't you? And yet you still pretend to be innocent and pure in front of me? What kind of person your mother is, that's what you'll become when you're older. Just thinking about it makes me feel disgusted, so disgusted I can't even eat my meals. And every day, I have to put up with your family's act. I'm telling you, your family deserves it! Deserves to be bullied, deserves to be broken and ruined!"

  Although I have always had a bad impression of Zheng Zhiwei, his sudden exposure of this face still makes me more disgusted in my heart.

  Inside the door, Chen Baozhu's hoarse and panting voice came: "She... no matter how stubborn she is, she's still my mother. My family isn't as despicable as you said... I don't hate her for what she did to me... But you... how can you be worthy of my mother, worthy of me? I really intended to marry you... You beast!"

  Zheng Zhiwei stood at the door with a cold smile, saying nothing.

  Chen Baozhu's words made me somewhat unexpected. Because according to Tan Jiao, this half evening, the Chen family almost spent it in mutual accusations, betrayals and cowardice. Chen Baozhu's words were the only ones that forgave and held hope.

  I glanced at Tan Jiao, but found her eyes also staring blankly.

  Su Wei and Zheng Zhiwei in the living room both ignored Chen Baozhu, the two were whispering with their heads down. At this time, Chen Baozhu had calmed down and said: "You let me take care of my mother. If something happens to her, you won't get those things either."

  It seemed that she made sense, Su Wen looked at Zheng Zhiwei and nodded. Zheng Zhiwei showed a careless expression. After a while, the two bandits dragged Chen Baozhu out of the room. She had been beaten to a pulp, her long hair disheveled, her nose blue and her face swollen. They threw her beside the old lady. The old lady was lying on the floor in the corner of the living room at this moment. Chen Baozhu's tears rolled down, and she rushed into her mother's arms.

  At this time, a notorious thug came in from outside and whispered something to Su Wei. Su Wei nodded, then raised his head and looked around. His expression was somewhat strange, as if it were disdainful, venomous, and yet suppressing some kind of wanton excitement.

  My heart skipped a beat.

  They have other plans.

  ……

  They want to set fire and destroy all traces.
