Chapter 162: Jiang Yilan Has Been Found
Village Chief Liu’s entitled attitude angered everyone.
If it weren’t for their inappropriate identities, everyone would have really wanted to beat him up.
Jiang Yuan walked up to Village Chief Liu and greeted him with a barrage of blows.
Everyone watched this scene, listened to Village Chief Liu’s wails, and felt very satisfied.
Buses and police cars took the criminals away.
The nurse gave the victims a simple examination and assigned medical vehicles based on their injuries.
Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu followed the whole way, and seeing the condition of these girls made them both tear up.
They didn’t even have the courage to look seriously, especially those rescued from the watchtower…
They could have lived very happy lives, but because of these people’s evil thoughts, they fell from heaven into hell.
After the last medical vehicle drove away, Jiang Yuan left with the police.
The next day.
Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu went to the city hospital together.
The police were verifying the identities of the victims rescued last night.
Many girls had been tortured to the point of mental collapse, acting crazy.
They couldn’t speak normally; some would giggle when someone approached, and some would instinctively lie down with their legs bent when offered food.
Jiang Yuan’s eyes instantly reddened, flushing with crystal tears.
This was truly heartbreaking.
Xiao Xu turned her head and stared blankly at her, “Jiang Yuan, you…”
She meant to comfort her, but as soon as she spoke, her voice was filled with a sobbing tone.
The two looked at each other, and with tacit understanding, left the hospital room and hugged each other in a secluded corner to cry.
Although they couldn’t empathize with the victims’ experiences, as girls themselves, they were deeply moved.
After crying for a while, Xiao Xu’s phone ringtone suddenly rang.
She took out her phone, sniffled, cleared her throat, and answered in a calm tone, “He Lewei.”
He Lewei said on the other end of the phone, “We’ve found Jiang Yilan.”
“Where?” Xiao Xu turned to look at Jiang Yuan, “Are we going to see Jiang Yilan?”
Jiang Yuan wiped away her tears and nodded, “Yes.”
“He Lewei, send me the room number,” Xiao Xu said and hung up.
He Lewei quickly sent the room number to Xiao Xu’s WeChat.
Jiang Yuan went with her to find the person.
The two met He Lewei at the room door.
His expression seemed a little strange.
As Jiang Yuan was about to push the door open, He Lewei suddenly spoke up to remind her, “Wait a moment.”
Jiang Yuan tilted her head in confusion, looking at him.
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Xu asked.
He Lewei frowned, his voice slightly sinking, “She came from the watchtower, and her condition isn’t very good. You should be mentally prepared.”
The watchtower…
Jiang Yuan knew what kind of place that was.
It was no exaggeration to describe it as hell on earth.
She and Xiao Xu looked at each other and took several deep breaths to adjust their emotions.
After a moment, Jiang Yuan softly asked, “Xiao Xu, should we… go in?”
Xiao Xu pressed her lips together and slowly nodded.
Jiang Yuan grasped the door handle and pressed it down lightly.
The room door was pushed open, revealing a single room.
This entire floor had single rooms; most of the victims rescued from the watchtower were housed in single rooms.
Jiang Yuan tread lightly as she walked in and saw the person lying on the hospital bed, her steps suddenly stopped, and her eyes instantly reddened.
She turned around, and tears instantly slid down her face.
He Lewei happened to see this scene. He pressed his lips together, feeling extremely distressed.
When he rescued these girls last night, he had also secretly cried.
Jiang Yilan had lost one arm, and her other, intact left hand had become somewhat deformed.
Several patches of her scalp were bald, one eye was damaged, and her face was covered in wounds, with various old and new scars crisscrossing, making it difficult to discern her original appearance.
She showed no trace of her former self.
Jiang Yuan met He Lewei’s gaze and asked with a trembling voice, “Could it be… a mistake?”
If Qiuqiu saw Xiao Lan like this, how sad would it be?
He Lewei silently shook his head.
Jiang Yuan sadly lowered her gaze.
Jiang Yilan’s left eye was blind, and she could only use her right eye. She looked at Jiang Yuan and Xiao Xu, her dry lips moved, and she let out a hoarse voice, “Who… are you looking for?”
Jiang Yuan’s hands, hanging by her side, clenched tightly.
She slowly turned around, met Jiang Yilan’s gaze, and said gently, “Xiao Lan, hello, I’m Jiang Yuan.”
“Jiang Yuan…” Jiang Yilan murmured, “I don’t know her.”
Jiang Yuan walked to the bedside, her gaze gently fixed on her, “Qiuqiu asked me to find you.”
“Qiuqiu!” Jiang Yilan suddenly sat up and eagerly asked, “How is Qiuqiu?”
She had been deceived and brought into Yongshan Village, and the most regrettable thing in her heart was not saying a proper goodbye to Qiuqiu.
That silly little cat must be waiting for her.
“Don’t get excited,” Jiang Yuan carefully extended her hand to her shoulder. Seeing that she didn’t resist her touch, she breathed a sigh of relief, “Qiuqiu is very safe, you don’t need to worry.”
“Really?” Jiang Yilan’s right eye was filled with unease, “Where is it now?”
“Qiuqiu is staying at my friend’s house now.” Jiang Yuan recounted how she met Qiuqiu and the experiences Qiuqiu described.
Jiang Yilan choked up and nodded, “I’m relieved it’s okay…”
“Do you want to see it?” Jiang Yuan asked softly, “Qiuqiu has been waiting for you, it firmly believes its master Xiao Lan hasn’t given up on it.”
“I…” Jiang Yilan hesitated, she lowered her eyes, her tone dejected, “I’m afraid I’ll scare it.”
“Don’t be afraid,” Jiang Yuan comforted her, patting her shoulder, “I believe no matter what Xiao Lan looks like, she is the most important person to Qiuqiu.”
Jiang Yilan was silent for a while before finally speaking, “Okay, I want to see Qiuqiu.”
Perhaps, she would never see it again from now on.
“Then I’ll arrange it,” Jiang Yuan stood up straight, “You should rest well first.”
Jiang Yilan nodded and watched her walk out of the room, then turned to look at Xiao Xu, “Miss Police…”
“What’s wrong?” Xiao Xu asked with concern.
Jiang Yilan pressed her lips together, “Is there… is there a mirror?”
If she had become too ugly, would Qiuqiu recognize her?
Xiao Xu frowned slightly and turned to look at He Lewei, unsure whether to give her the mirror.
She was afraid Jiang Yilan would break down.
He Lewei frowned, also somewhat at a loss.
“No mirror?” Jiang Yilan asked again.
Xiao Xu glared at He Lewei and, steeling herself, replied, “The mirror is in the restroom…”
Jiang Yilan blinked her right eye and used her left hand to push herself up from the mattress.
Her movements were slow, like an elderly person, and she trembled as she tried to stand.
Xiao Xu hurried over to help her, “How about I use my phone to show you, okay?”
Jiang Yilan: “That’s okay too.”
“Then sit down first,” Xiao Xu helped her back onto the hospital bed.
Seeing that Xiao Xu was taking a long time to get her phone out, Jiang Yilan spoke again, “Could you please show me…”
“Okay,” Xiao Xu bit her lip, took out her phone, opened the beauty camera, and handed it to her, “Take a look.”
