She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 329 - 328 This Personality Needs to Be Polished

The night was as dark as thick ink, all around pitch black, not even able to see one’s own fingers.

In a cramped, small room. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Above the rafters hung two chains, and under the dim candlelight in the room, one could still see the spotty bloodstains on them.

At this moment, Yan Lingzhen’s hands were powerlessly suspended by the chains, her coarse cloth clothes soaked with blood, her head drooping down, having been motionless for a long while.

"She really is a stubborn one!" Officer Li’s right hand was wrapped with cloth, oozing with blood, just bitten by Yan Lingzhen during her struggle.

They had been attacking this girl for almost an hour now.

But she, like a madwoman, asked for no mercy and only laughed, her eyes brimming with maliciousness that chilled those who saw her.

"If you beat her further, she’ll die," said the person next to him, wiping the sweat off his forehead and placing the whip stained with bloody foam on the table.

Officer Li spat on the ground, "Splash her with salt water to wake her up, we must find out the whereabouts of that little black kid, if he goes out to send a message, we’re all done for!"

"Who is this girl anyway?" she clearly didn’t come from an ordinary household.

Irritated by the question, Officer Li raised his hand and slapped the questioner: "Get to work! Too much nonsense!"

The man felt angered by the slap.

All he could do was angrily prepare the salt water, then took out the frustration he received from Officer Li on Yan Lingzhen.

A full basin of salt water poured down from the back of her neck.

The previously unconscious girl was painfully awakened, every wound on her body screamed with pain as the salt water touched them, she couldn’t help but scream out loud.

So painful!

Her pain made her eyes watery.

Hearing Yan Lingzhen’s screams, Officer Li walked up to her with a cold sneer, "If you won’t talk, the next bucket will be chili water."

"...I don’t know," Yan Lingzhen licked her chapped, bleeding lips, lifting her blood-stained face as much as she could to look at Officer Li, "You’d better kill me because the days to come will teach you what it means to long for death but cannot die!"

In her previous life and this one combined, she had never suffered this much!

In the past, when she was at the old lady’s house, at worst she faced hunger and the cold during winter.

Today she truly experienced what ancient severe torture really meant!

"You’re still being stubborn," Officer Li scoffingly scoffed, "It doesn’t matter if you don’t talk, as of now Stone Village has no reason to exist anymore, even if a little black kid escaped, what could he possibly achieve?"

He forcefully ripped off the jade pendant from his waist.

"What are you doing..." Yan Lingzhen felt an ominous premonition.

With a contemptuous look in his eyes, Officer Li raised his hand and smashed the jade pendant hard on the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"You!" Yan Lingzhen trembled all over, her eyes bloodshot.

This was the only keepsake left by the Duke of the Town for her.

It was a symbol of the Yan family.

Now, it was smashed to pieces by this scum!

She wanted Officer Li dead!

Yan Lingzhen clenched her back teeth, "He will come back with Sister, and then you and your so-called nobleman will see just how formidable my sister is!"

Officer Li’s solid certainty made his heart skip a beat, but soon he calmed down.

"Stone Village is secluded, surrounded on all sides, that black kid has no silver taels on him, even if he got out, he’d just be a beggar who couldn’t even enter a city, and besides, I’ve already laid a net in the city, the moment he shows up, his life is over!"

Scum!

Yan Lingzhen suddenly lunged forward, "I’m going to kill you!"

Her hoarse voice shouted hysterical words.

For the first time since she had arrived, she wanted someone’s life this badly!

She rushed at Officer Li but was quickly pulled back by the chains, the shackles leaving round and round of shocking blood marks on her delicate wrists!

"This nature of yours really needs to be tempered," Officer Li seeing Yan Lingzhen’s breakdown, was delighted.

"This is how a thirteen-year-old child should feel!"

He had thought the Yan Family were some formidable monsters.

"All right, it’s getting late. Load her into the cart. I still plan to send this little girl and the flower together to the nobleman."

It was already nearing dawn.

A horse-drawn carriage was waiting outside the door.

Upon hearing his command, the subordinates of Officer Li immediately stepped forward and covered Yan Lingzhen’s face with a cloth.

Yan Lingzhen struggled for a moment, then her head tilted, and she fainted.

"Lift her into the carriage." Officer Li took his seat at the driver’s seat first.

After Yan Lingzhen had been placed in the carriage, he then looked at the remaining few and said, "You all know what to do next, right?"

"Yes... but what about the Wang Family girl?"

Officer Li pondered, "Wang Suying? I actually forgot about her."

"Indeed, if it weren’t for this girl reminding us, the boss might have fallen into the trap by now."

Officer Li felt a chill, "Yes, thanks to her warning. Otherwise, I would have touched that dead girl’s hand."

He lifted the carriage curtain to look inside. It was still very spacious.

"Go and bring her over, send her along. We might as well have a maid to take care of things on the road."

Soon, Wang Suying was pushed into the carriage.

"Go!" Officer Li cracked his whip, and the carriage set off towards Northern Border City.

Wang Suying timidly sat inside the carriage, not daring to speak. As it bumped along, she gradually mustered some courage and lifted the curtain to look back.

She only saw Stone Village below the mountain path engulfed in a sea of fire, staining half the sky red... In that fire, there were her mother, her brother...

Both hands and feet chilled, she was now walking out from the thrill of revenge against Yan Lingzhen and realized the kind of madman she had provoked.

Yet, if she hadn’t followed Officer Li, she would definitely have been decapitated at this moment.

"Wang Family girl, refrain from having improper thoughts. Take good care of the other one, or you know what I’m capable of." Officer Li’s menacing voice came from outside the fluttering curtain.

Frightened, Wang Suying hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"Sir, I will definitely take good care of her!"

"Now, open the box by your hand and apply the medicine," Officer Li ordered again.

Wang Suying hurriedly complied.

Unsure what the medicine was, but once applied, the wound immediately stopped bleeding, and soon afterwards, it had scabbed over.

It must not have been cheap.

As Wang Suying looked at the palm-sized bottle in her hand and then at the unconscious Yan Lingzhen at her feet, her eyes filled with envy.

She had never applied such expensive medicine in her life.

The carriage continued through the fiery mountain wind and the jungle, heading out without looking back.

At this moment, far up in the trees, a figure dressed in nightwear leapt quickly through the air.

"A carriage just left over there."

Piji stopped, squinting at the direction the carriage was heading.

Meanwhile, Hong Wu was focused on the massive fire beneath the mountain. Her eyes filled with urgency. She used her inner strength to communicate with the assassins of the Stormy Building.

"Advance at full speed. The village below is on fire! Spare no cost to rescue the Sixth Miss!"

Seeing Piji still standing there.

Hong Wu grew anxious, "What are you standing around for? The reports indicate that the Sixth Miss is in the village at the foot of this mountain. That carriage must be escaping."

"Right, let’s go!" Piji, no longer hesitating, lightly tapped his toes and sped towards the mountain’s base.
