Chapter 205: There’s Evidence, Should We Call The Police?
The room suddenly became quiet.
Liang Chaosu knelt on one knee at the foot of the bed. The hotel bed wasn’t high, and she sat there, at a roughly level gaze.
His gaze towards her felt like looking down from above, like being enveloped, wanting to choke her throat and claim her as his own.
The encroachment came from all directions, overwhelming.
Lian Cheng felt a sense of confinement, as if there was no escape in this life.
Perhaps.
There was still one way.
To fall into his embrace.
Lian Cheng felt almost suffocated, a deep sense of fear. “Liang Chaosu—”
The man’s face was flushed with a thin layer of red, his gaze captivated, scalding hot.
A clear descent into immersion, a burgeoning beastiality.
It was the primal choice of hormones and phenolphthalein, a tidal surge.
It was also a scientific logical judgment after calm, a sense of possession.
Lian Cheng’s hairs stood on end, she pushed him away with her hands and feet, wanting to distance herself from him, from this scene, to a safe place.
This instead ignited Liang Chaosu’s ferocity.
He got up and pressed down, his broad shoulders a wall, his strong chest iron, his kisses delirious and bone-deep, rough as if until the last drop of energy was spent.
Only then could he alleviate the thirst and dreams of this period.
Lian Cheng felt his body temperature rise, her heartbeat violently vibrating, but only their lips and tongues intertwined, difficult to fill.
She was terrified, all the color drained from her face, struggling like a madwoman.
Heart-rending, sorrowful, desperate.
Trapped in the bedding, the bedding was pale white, her body like a lotus root scorched by the sun, a dry, ashen white.
Liang Chaosu’s breaths were heavy and powerful, his exhalations striking the side of her neck, his wildness restrained with effort.
Yet he couldn’t resist touching her hair.
“Lian Cheng,” he called her name, “Don’t be afraid.”
Lian Cheng was as stiff as a corpse. Liang Chaosu was very close, but not in her eyes.
Her gaze was on the window, stretching out to the mountain range under a clear sky, clouds drifting lazily one by one, the sky curtain a light blue.
A color used for soothing in psychology.
Soothing a violent storm, ferociously devouring.
Liang Chaosu distanced himself again. He first looked at the corners of Lian Cheng’s eyes, dry, his gaze covering her entire face, numb.
Further down, her collar was neat, her lapel askew.
He smoothed it out and stood at the foot of the bed, his gaze fixed on the pocket of Lian Cheng’s top. “I won’t touch you.”
Lian Cheng’s gaze was still on the window. Her hands, stiff at her sides, slowly clenched.
Liang Chaosu said again, “I was wrong before.”
A wisp of strength grew in Lian Cheng’s lifelessness, her voice hoarse and strange, “So, you admit you forced me.”
Liang Chaosu, “If you don’t like it, I am.”
His shadow, looking down from above, gradually receded. Footsteps entered the bathroom, and soon he left.
Lian Cheng remained dazed throughout. Suddenly, she let out a heaven-shattering scream.
The mobile phone fell out of her pocket.
On the screen, a bright red recording button, its waveform undulating, recorded Liang Chaosu’s confession, and her cries.
Outside the door, Xiao Da felt that after only three minutes of hesitation, Liang Chaosu was driven out.
The door closed quickly, but couldn’t block the heart-rending cries from inside. After one cry, it stopped, then erupted again after a long while.
Xiao Da’s heart sank to the bottom.
He looked at Liang Chaosu, whose expression was devoid of emotion.
There was no sternness of an argument, no irritability that couldn’t be vented.
His soaked clothes clung to his body, his temperature was high, yet he seemed to have no warmth.
Zhang An had always been unable to speak in front of him. He pondered that Liang Chaosu hadn’t moved, implying he wasn’t leaving. He rushed downstairs to get a room.
The crying inside gradually subsided into sobs, and the corridor lights were dim and yellow.
Only one thought remained in Xiao Da’s heart, clear and vibrating.
A stab from Iceland, in exchange for Lian Cheng not destroying herself, giving him room to maneuver.
Returning to the country, making Lian Cheng realize her prejudice, and willing to face him.
The data prepared by the Liang family was concrete. Even without evidence of a crime, if Lian Cheng disclosed some of it, it could appease her anger.
If she didn’t disclose the data, it meant she wanted other evidence.
Evidence, once it could be faced, he, without hesitation, had indeed taken this step.
— “How could you forgive Mr. Liang? If he were imprisoned, would you forgive him?”
— “If he dares, I dare.”
But Lian Cheng’s words were contemptuous and joking.
…………………………………
Bai Ying knew that Xiao Da was accompanying Lian Cheng in the provincial capital of Qi Province. Taking advantage of her holiday, she didn’t even go home and traveled a thousand miles to Qi Province.
When she called Xiao Da, she had already exited the high-speed rail station.
Taking advantage of the holiday, she took the high-speed rail and then a bus, traveling for four hours to the hotel.
She knocked on the room door. The voices inside immediately stopped. After a moment, a gap opened, revealing Lian Cheng’s vigilant, red and swollen eyes.
Bai Ying was startled.
Lian Cheng was also surprised, “Why are you here?”
Bai Ying squeezed into the room, “I wanted to surprise you.”
Before she finished speaking, she walked out of the foyer and was stunned again.
On the small coffee table by the window stood Lian Cheng’s mobile phone, its screen displaying the face of a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses.
He was handsome and refined.
She subconsciously compared him, he didn’t have the strong features of Crazy Liang, nor the gentle nobility of Shen Lichuan.
He couldn’t compare to Xiao Da’s likability with his stammering and hesitant apologies.
An ordinary intellectual.
She couldn’t help but tilt her head and ask in a low voice, “Who is this—”
“My senior martial brother.”
Lian Cheng moved past her and picked up the phone. “Senior martial brother, thank you for telling me all this. If Qingxi Valley is truly this severe, you must be careful.”
The man’s voice from the handset chuckled, “In today’s society, no one would dare to attack a government investigation team. Our safety is anti-corruption inspection. If we are not safe, then the country will have to conduct anti-terrorism operations.”
“No one should think that the armed police’s sniper rifles are inferior to the army’s. Under the barrel of a gun, any conspiracy, trickery, demons, or monsters will have to kneel and call me ‘Dad’.”
Bai Ying giggled.
Lian Cheng also wanted to laugh, but in the end, she could only force a smile.
“Then don’t do it for my sake and be corrupt and go to jail.”
“You are truly narcissistic,” the senior martial brother said arrogantly, “Brother here has a bright future, and becoming a department head is just around the corner. Your ‘face’ isn’t enough to compensate for my future, but you could consider a marriage proposal.”
If Lian Cheng hadn’t known about her senior martial brother’s past intentions, she might have continued with a few jokes.
Now, there was only silence.
It was the accumulation of too many impacts that morning, and the twists and turns, her mind in chaos, unsure how to choose.
After finishing the video call.
Bai Ying sat opposite her, cautiously, “When we were reporting our breakfast to each other this morning, you were fine.”
Lian Cheng’s eyes were clouded, with a burning flush of blood.
“I have evidence that Liang Chaosu personally admitted to forcing me.”
Bai Ying was shocked again and again after entering the room; this time, her skin and bones and hairs from head to toe were horrified.
“What…” she struggled to react, then rushed to Lian Cheng’s side, touching her hand, checking her collar.
“What did you do? What was the price? He—”
Bai Ying’s thoughts were a thousand threads, and her questions were a thousand fold. Under Lian Cheng’s explosive tension, she asked the most important one.
“—Are you going to call the police?”
Lian Cheng tilted her head to look at her phone. On the dialing interface, the characters ‘110’ were bold, with a green circular dial button.
She took a deep breath, trembling so much she could barely hold the phone.
Bai Ying perceived it, thinking she was getting scared at the last minute. She swallowed, “If you call the police, Liang Chaosu will be ruined, the Liang family will be heavily hit, and you will also become famous nationwide.”
“Lian Cheng, since you have the evidence now, if you’re not ready, come to my place and rest for a few days. If not, I’ll secretly take you back to Nan Province to find my dad, and have him protect you after filing the case.”
Lian Cheng’s gaze was lost in thought, as if listening, and as if not.
Chaotic, gasping for air.
“When I stabbed myself with that knife in Iceland, I was already prepared for life imprisonment. Becoming famous nationwide is nothing.”
