Chapter 152

Chen Yun listened, feeling very uneasy: "Sang Sang, I'm scared. Not for myself, but for you. This is too dangerous."

"He's nothing but scum, a beast. We normal people can't predict what a beast might do."

"What if at the hotel, he really does that to you, or... or something unexpected happens that we can't control? I'm afraid I—"

Gu Sang interrupted Chen Yun.

Her eyes flashed with a convincing confidence and capability: "You have to trust me, trust the authorities! Trust yourself!"

"As long as we cooperate properly, nothing will go wrong! Besides, I know some martial arts. He might not be able to overpower me."

"We'll call the police in advance. We can definitely bring him to justice. Chen Yun, this is our best chance, your only chance to get rid of this scumbag!"

"If we miss this opportunity, he'll eventually back you into a corner. I can't imagine what terrible things someone like him might do in the end."

"We can't bet on him having a change of heart. He has no conscience!"

Chen Yun looked at Gu Sang with trusting eyes.

Indeed.

She couldn't back down now.

This was the only chance!

Gu Sang could do it, she could do it, and the authorities could do it too. She couldn't let this scumbag live freely, and she couldn't hold Sang Sang back.

"Alright, Sang Sang. I trust you!"

Worried that the scumbag might come looking for her, Chen Yun personally escorted Gu Sang downstairs. Only after seeing her get into a ride-share car and leave did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, thank goodness she had strengthened her resolve and hadn't endangered Sang Sang.

The livestream was still on.

Gu Sang only looked up at the livestream after getting in the car.

Just then, the figure of a sixty-year-old Old Man appeared on the livestream screen.

His weather-beaten face revealed bitterness, despair, and a sardonic smile.

He shook his head and laughed self-mockingly: "Heh, trust the constables? You'd be better off trusting that the heavens will strike that beast dead with lightning."

"If the constables really did anything, my son wouldn't have been wrongfully killed! And I wouldn't have found myself with nowhere to turn for justice!"

"All crows are black. When have constables ever treated common folk as human beings? Ridiculous!"

The old man looked at Gu Sang on the screen with a gaze of disappointment and pity, then hunched over and left.

A moment later.

Another figure appeared on the screen.

It was a girl of only eleven or twelve, with large tears rolling down her cheeks.

After watching Chen Yun's ordeal, she cried and said: "Divine Lady, how lucky your friend is to have a friend like you. I'm so happy for her."

Gu Sang thought the girl would tell her about her own experiences, but in the blink of an eye, the girl's figure became hazy.

This form indicated that the girl had finished speaking.

With Chen Yun's situation on her mind, Gu Sang didn't have much energy to explain to the ancient people in the livestream.

The ancient people from the old city had watched so many livestreams that they could guess what it meant.

As for the two newly opened new cities, let them observe and ponder slowly.

"We've arrived!"

The driver's words pulled Gu Sang out of her thoughts.

After getting out of the car, Gu Sang immediately closed the livestream.

Back home, Gu Sang sat on the couch, thinking about how to make the scumbag pay for his actions.

'Ding!'

'Connection established!'

After receiving the system prompt, Gu Sang brushed away her thoughts and entered a focused state.

The person randomly selected by the system happened to be the eleven or twelve-year-old girl she had seen just before closing the livestream.

Seeing the girl timidly looking at the virtual screen, and then her timidity fading away to be replaced by joy and excitement after hearing the system prompt.

"So if you're sincere enough, the Divine Lady really can appear."

Seeing the girl's pure and innocent smile, Gu Sang smiled too, while also looking at the girl with some sympathy.

Seeing her cry so heartbrokenly in the livestream earlier, she must have encountered something.

"Divine Lady sister, can I tell you anything? I have so much I want to say."

Gu Sang smiled nonchalantly: "It's alright, go ahead. I'm listening."

After Gu Sang said this, the girl suddenly fell silent. Her gaze became unfocused as if recalling something, and then she slowly began to speak:

"Divine Lady sister, when I saw this today, I could really understand your friend."

"My cousin went through almost the exact same thing. She was especially good to me. Whenever she had something good to eat or play with, she would always bring it back for me. My parents, because I'm a girl, they say I'm a money-losing proposition and always beat and scold me. Only my cousin would comfort me every time, saying I was a little lucky star, not a money-losing proposition..."

"My cousin is especially beautiful, and she's a famous beauty in our town. She's also very kind..."

The little girl had a lot to say, most of it without a clear point, but Gu Sang didn't interrupt her. Instead, she listened quietly.

Listening to the little girl chat was much more relaxing than talking to those cunning people.

"Later, my cousin secretly got together with a man. My cousin didn't tell anyone, but she told me in private... That day, I was preparing a gift for my cousin. I still remember her expression. She was very sad, as if all the life had been drained out of her. She instructed me as usual, telling me to take good care of myself in the future, and then my cousin left."

"A few days later, the adults found my cousin in the pond... I ran to find that man, only to see him offering sacrifices to my cousin in his house. It turned out that he had taken advantage of my cousin once when he was drunk, and then he kept forcing her to do things she didn't want to do. My cousin didn't want to be constantly coerced by him, so she ended her own life."

"Divine Lady sister, when I saw you helping your friend come up with ideas, I thought, if my cousin had a friend like you by her side, she definitely wouldn't have sought death. My cousin was a person who really cherished life. She often told me that all things have spirits, and we should respect life. If it wasn't for our village, where a woman's chastity is more important than her life, if it wasn't for that man constantly threatening her, if she had someone like you by her side..."

By the end, the girl was crying uncontrollably.

She crouched on the ground, covering her mouth and sobbing, not even daring to cry out loud for fear of being heard by others.

Cousin swore she would defend her virtue to the death. Even though I knew the truth, I could only painfully keep her secret.

It was my failure! freёweɓnovel.com

I had no way to seek justice for Cousin. I knew that in this era, in this village, men were like gods!

Even if I reported Cousin's case to the authorities, the officials would surely protect the man who violated her. And now that Cousin was dead, it was even more impossible to clear her name. She could only be wronged by the living.

That man could easily claim Cousin was lustful and seduced him. Such occurrences were already commonplace here.

After hearing this, Gu Sang felt even more stifled, as if a breath was caught in her chest, neither rising nor falling, causing discomfort.

Gu Sang spoke with a hoarse voice: "Your Cousin came to warn you in her final moments. She must have wanted to tell you to leave the village when you grow up."
