Lawyer: Send the Judge to Prison-Chapter 329 - 328: The Truth Behind the Kidnapping!
In Xiaojing Village.
Xia Ling’s eyes were hollow, filled with despair.
She just wanted to go out with friends, but halfway, the taxi driver dropped her off, saying he had a big fare to pick up, and told her to find another ride.
As a result, she was forcibly taken onto a van by three men and then knocked unconscious.
When she finally woke up, she found herself in front of a dilapidated and messy house, along with a scruffy, ugly man named Chen Hao.
Xia Ling was terrified, crying and pleading for Chen Hao to take her home.
But Chen Hao claimed that she was his purchased wife and refused to let her go back.
Then Chen Hao’s mother came out and said she was already married to Chen Hao and needed to bear children for him, preferably a fat son.
Chen Hao’s scruffy appearance and the whole family made Xia Ling feel deeply afraid.
Taking advantage of Chen Hao’s distraction, Xia Ling ran into the village, hoping to find help from other villagers.
Unfortunately, as soon as she reached the village, other villagers caught her and carried her back to Chen Hao’s house.
Once the Chen family realized this, they immediately beat and kicked Xia Ling.
Chen Hao’s mother, Chen Rui, said: "I dare you to run. You’re the wife we bought. You’re already my son’s wife! You dare try to run? If you run, we’ll have wasted our money. I’ll warn you, try running again and see if I don’t kill you! You dare run?"
Chen Rui stomped on Xia Ling’s back repeatedly, cursing incessantly.
Chen Rui: "We bought you back, not to run, but to have kids! Have a fat son, and if you can’t, just wait."
Xia Ling cried and pleaded: "Auntie, I’ll give you money, my family has money. If you let me go back, my family will pay you 200,000 or 300,000, whatever it takes! I swear I’ll repay you with the money!"
Chen Rui slapped Xia Ling hard: "Believe it or not, I’ll rip your mouth apart? Who wants your 200,000 or 300,000? You’re the wife we bought; you still think you can run? Still want to go home? This is your home now!"
The whole family abused Xia Ling.
Xia Ling cried and shouted, but nobody in the village cared about her.
So Xia Ling decided to compromise first and find an opportunity to escape later.
After being tied up here for twenty days.
Xia Ling finally found a chance to escape.
She didn’t dare to run towards the village.
Xia Ling ran directly into the mountains!
In the mountains, she thought perhaps she could finally escape?
But upon entering the mountains, Xia Ling realized it wasn’t so simple.
The mountains stretched endlessly, with no idea where to run.
Xia Ling didn’t dare to walk on roads, only dared to wander within the mountains.
When Chen Hao’s family discovered Xia Ling had run away, they mobilized the whole village to search for her.
Xia Ling couldn’t find her way in the mountains, wandering in circles...
Eventually, villagers found her and carried her back again.
After Xia Ling was recaptured, she was subjected to more beatings.
She was even locked in a pigsty, surrounded by pigs and chickens...
Xia Ling was also shackled with iron chains, beaten daily.
During this period, Xia Ling even thought of suicide.
But Chen Hao found out and stopped her.
The Chen family took turns keeping watch over Xia Ling every day.
Xia Ling was in despair, having attempted suicide three times without success.
Once beautiful and lively, now she was filthy and unkempt, unable to do anything. She had no way to resist.
Her body was covered in scars....
Xia Ling stopped struggling.
She made up her mind; she had to leave this mountain.
No matter the cost...
She missed her parents.
Until one day, on Qingming Festival, Chen Hao’s family wanted to visit their ancestors’ graves, taking Xia Ling along.
While leaving, Xia Ling saw a girl next door tied nearby the pigsty, bound with chains.
Next door was a sixty-year-old man.
There were many girls in this village...
Almost every household’s situation was the same.
One girl named Yue Hongling was already 21 years old.
Yue Hongling said: "Don’t think about running, you can’t escape. We’re in the mountains... Everything around is mountains, and you can’t find a way out, you can’t escape. If they catch you back, you’ll be beaten and bound with chains. We don’t have phones anymore, we’ve lost everything, no way to contact the outside world, give it up."
After hearing this, Xia Ling fell silent.
Beside Yue Hongling was her two-year-old son.
Yue Hongling had been here for three years, giving birth to another’s child.
She didn’t want the child either but had no choice.
Many girls here had become numb.
Especially the girl next door, who had gone completely mad.
Xia Ling was determined; she had to escape... she absolutely had to escape.
Before escaping, she had to find out how the road here worked, how she could finally leave.
Xia Ling deeply regretted.
She shouldn’t have left campus; how perfect it would’ve been to stay in college?
Why did she have to go out and play?
Xia Ling thought about suicide many times but couldn’t find an opportunity.
Now she didn’t want to kill herself anymore; she had to find a way to leave here.
She couldn’t become like the other girls, all trapped within the mountains.
She had to escape, so that others would notice this place...
So that all the kidnapped girls in these mountains could be freed.
"Xia Ling, don’t abandon yourself, don’t give up, find a way to leave here, find a way out of these mountains, if others can’t do it, you definitely can."
"Your college major is geography, you will definitely be able to escape here, definitely."
She inquired about the girl next door.
The girl next door was named Xue Yaoyao, kidnapped here for six years.
The sixty-year-old man spent 7,000 yuan, and the traffickers brought Xue Yaoyao here.
So Xue Yaoyao endured six years of hellish life.
Now she had completely lost her mind...
In six years, Xue Yaoyao gave birth to three children for the sixty-year-old man.
They were mostly born within the first three years.
Is there really no one who can escape these mountains?
Xia Ling looked at the village... her heart ached with despair.
Every family here was like this!
No one would help her!
This village favored males over females.
Almost every household demanded sons, but without daughters...
This village was so backward that these men couldn’t find partners. So by such means, they acquired wives....
....
....
"Xiaojing Village, Xiangri Village, Dongshan Village."
"All clues point to these three villages."
"Many missing girls could have been kidnapped to these villages." Gu Chen concluded after his analysis.
Yet without solid evidence, further investigation was needed.
The police decided on a plan that day.
With leads in hand, the police decided to conduct an on-site investigation!
