Chapter 698 Violence in the Woods

"What about the rest of the money?" Xue Deyou asked anxiously.

Xue Ying'er cast him a cold glance. "It's all yours, but you can't have a single cent of this fifty thousand."

"Furthermore, you must divorce my mother. Otherwise, I won't let Zhao Jingui give you a penny."

Xue Deyou was furious. "You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Is there a daughter who would tell her own parents to divorce?"

"If you don't agree, I'm not leaving today. You won't get a single cent!" Xue Ying'er said without mercy.

Xue Deyou's eyes darted around. After half a minute of thought, he slapped his thigh. "Fine, divorce it is!"

"With money, what kind of woman can't I find?"

"But you have to support me from now on. I'm your father, you know!"

Xue Ying'er said with a resentful tone, "I will support you, don't worry!"

"Daughter, don't do anything foolish!" Wang Honglian pleaded.

Xue Deyou pulled her aside, pushing and dragging her, and locked her inside the house.

Zhao Jingui wore a satisfied smile. "Think carefully. Once you take my money and leave this door, there's no turning back."

Xue Ying'er's eyes were resolute, and her voice was calm. "Don't worry, I won't go back on my word this time."

She had made up her mind.

As soon as her mother took the money and left, she would commit suicide.

Her life had been too bitter; ending it sooner would be a good thing.

"Give me the money."

Xue Ying'er extended a hand.

Zhao Jingui had come prepared. He took a wad of cash from his bag, counted out fifty thousand, and handed it over.

Xue Ying'er took the money, opened the door, and shoved it into her mother's arms. "Mom, take this money and leave quickly. Never come back!"

Wang Honglian hugged her daughter tightly, crying out in despair, "You're jumping into a fire pit! You can't be so foolish!"

"Alas~"

Xue Ying'er sighed mournfully. "Mom, if you don't leave, I'll die right in front of you!"

Wang Honglian wailed, "Where do you want Mom to go? Let's just die together, mother and daughter!"

Seeing that she wasn't leaving, Xue Deyou flew into a rage. "Take the money and get out quickly!"

"With money, I'm going to find a young and beautiful woman to marry. You old hag, don't occupy this space and ruin my good fortune! Get out!"

Xue Deyou used all his might and quickly pushed Wang Honglian out of the door.

"Daughter..."

Wang Honglian cried out, then suddenly thought of something and turned to run.

She knew Xue Ying'er had made up her mind and wasn't planning to live.

Now, the only one who could save her daughter was Lin Fan!

"Let's go."

Zhao Jingui was already impatient, eager to taste the young girl's youth.

Xue Ying'er glanced at the dilapidated house where she had been born and raised. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her face was ashen.

"It's all over."

She sighed deeply in her heart and was the first to walk outside.

Xue Deyou grabbed Zhao Jingui. "Jingui, we have an agreement, right? Three days later, bring me the remaining one hundred and fifty thousand."

"Don't worry. As long as your daughter behaves, I won't shortchange you a single cent," Zhao Jingui guaranteed, patting his chest.

Xue Deyou then grabbed Xue Ying'er and instructed, "Ying'er, when you get there, you must be obedient. Take good care of your husband and father-in-law, and bring back as much money as you can."

Xue Ying'er forcefully shook his hand away, remaining silent.

The sun began to set, and a warm breeze blew.

Under the sympathetic gazes of the villagers, Xue Ying'er was led out of her home by Zhao Jingui.

A black sedan stopped near a small grove of trees.

Zhao Jingui slammed on the brakes. "Little fox, trying to outsmart this old hunter? You're too green!"

He had known from the start that Xue Ying'er's quick agreement meant she was going to do something drastic.

Xue Ying'er pulled a pair of scissors from her pocket, wanting to end her life quickly. However, as a mere girl, she was no match for Zhao Jingui, a grown man.

"I spent so much money. How could I let you die for nothing?"

Zhao Jingui grabbed Xue Ying'er's wrist and twisted it hard.

"Ah!"

Xue Ying'er cried out in pain, and the scissors dropped from her hand.

Zhao Jingui took out a nylon rope from his bag and tied her hands together.

"What are you going to do?"

Xue Ying'er hadn't expected this beast to be so well-prepared, and she began to panic completely.

Zhao Jingui grinned lewdly. "What do you think I'm going to do?"

"If I don't have you bear me a son, how can I justify all the effort I've put in?"

"As long as you're obedient, all the wealth I've accumulated through hard work will be yours and your son's."

Xue Ying'er struggled desperately. "Help!"

Zhao Jingui carried her out of the car and towards the grove. "I originally planned for you to come home with me, and we'd have a proper wedding night."

"Since you're making such a scene now, let's just use the sky as our blanket and the earth as our bed, and consummate our union right here."

Xue Ying'er knew that if she entered the grove, all hope would be lost.

But now, she was utterly powerless.

"Here will do!"

Zhao Jingui placed her on a large rock and began to tear at her clothes.

"Someone! Help!" Xue Ying'er shouted for help.

Zhao Jingui leered, "Scream, cry out. The more you shout, the more excited I get!"

"This road through our village, only a few people pass by each day. Even if you shout your lungs out, what good will it do?"

Xue Ying'er shrieked, her voice hoarse, "Zhao Jingui, if you dare to defile me, I will kill you sooner or later!"

Zhao Jingui sneered, "Do you think I'll give you the chance?"

"From now on, I'll tie you up all the time. I'll do whatever I want to you whenever I please!"

"Once you bear me a son, and I've trained you to be as obedient as a sheep, then I'll consider letting you go."

Xue Ying'er was horrified. If that happened, she would truly wish for death but be unable to find it.

*Clack!*

With a crisp sound, the buckle of his belt was undone.

Xue Ying'er's heart pounded with extreme panic.

She knew there was no escape this time.

Thinking back, dying in the mouth of the black-crested snake would have been a happy ending.

Although the black-crested snake was venomous, it would have only taken her life.

This beast, however, intended to humiliate her to death.

"You will be punished. I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Xue Ying'er cried out in despair, her voice already hoarse.

"If you let me have my way obediently, I can make you suffer less."

"If you resist, I have countless ways to make you wish you were dead!"

Zhao Jingui threatened as he undressed.

At this moment, Xue Ying'er only wanted to die immediately, to escape this hell on earth.

She mustered her last ounce of courage, stuck out her tongue, preparing to bite it and end her life.

Rumble, rumble, rumble...

Just then, the sound of a motorcycle approached.

Hope suddenly surged in Xue Ying'er's heart, and she shouted for help, "Help! Murder!"

The motorcycle indeed stopped.

She wanted to continue shouting for help but was silenced by Zhao Jingui covering her mouth.

"My Passat is parked outside. Who dares to meddle?"

Zhao Jingui spoke with absolute confidence, but the sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer.
