The man refused to listen to any explanation.
"No! Get that girl out here right now. Someone outside is gravely ill and needs her to take a look."
Before the words were even out of his mouth, the man lunged forward and grabbed Ling Zhiwei by the collar.
He was so strong that he dragged Ling Zhiwei right out of the corner.
A bundle rolled to the ground, spilling straw and revealing Shanshan's clothes.
There was no hiding it now.
News traveled fast.
Within minutes, the entire village was in an uproar over Shanshan's escape.
People poured out of their homes.
They quickly turned on Ling Zhiwei, surrounding him and demanding answers.
Several burly men pinned him to the ground, their eyes locked on him.
But Ling Zhiwei clenched his jaw and refused to utter a single word.
He clung to a sliver of hope, thinking, 'No matter how vicious they are, they wouldn't dare to actually do anything to me.'
But he was wrong.
Today, he would learn just how black a human heart could be.
