Ning Shu looked at Wang Jie. This person suddenly became so proactive, there was no way he had good intentions.

  Before, he had no sense of existence. He was just a mass actor, the type that would die after a few scenes. However, his presence was now so strong.

  In any case, Ning Shu couldn’t help but feel hostility and annoyance towards Wang Jie.

  She even wanted to cut open his skin to see who was inside.

  Ning Shu had a rather frightening thought, which was that this was Zhang Jiasen. But hadn’t Zhang Jiasen already been obliterated by the uncle?

  If he had managed to stay alive, Ning Shu had to express sincere admiration.

  Upon noticing that Ning Shu was staring at him, Wang Jie threw a gentle smile her way. Ning Shu suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. She immediately removed her gaze and focused at the foot of the wall. There, she found that Liu Manman had disappeared.

  “Where did she go?” Ning Shu couldn’t help but ask 795.

  “I was watching the old lady go crazy and didn’t pay attention.” 795 said and stood up, “I’ll go with you to find her.”


  “I’ll go too,” said Wang Jie.

  Ning Shu took the flashlight and headed out of the hall. The group of three searched the inner courtyard. When the flashlight swept over, Liu Manman was sitting on something like a rocking horse.

  Liu Manman was tied so as to prevent her from falling off the wooden horse. One end of the rope was connected to a branch, while the other end was bolted to the wooden horse. It was a pulley device.

  The wooden horse was rocking, but Liu Manman could not fall off.

  Liu Manman wasn’t wearing pants underneath. When the light fell on her, you could see the blood flowing down the snow-white legs.

  Ning Shu ran over as soon as possible, but Liu Manman was already near death.

  Ning Shu barely controlled her urge to vomit. It was simply too cruel.

  The wooden horse wasn’t a toy but rather a very, very cruel torture tool for women. On the saddle was a foot-long wooden stake that was an inch in diameter. The tortured woman was forced to sit on it. With the wooden horse rocking, the hard wooden stick would smash the woman’s womb, uterus, and internal organs.

  This was a method of the ancient feudal society to deal with lustful women.

  And Liu Manman was even pregnant.

  “This is clearly a method of passing judgment. They were punishing Liu Manman as if she were a criminal,” said 795.

  Liu Manman was raped and even got pregnant. Hence, she was deemed an unfaithful woman.

  Not only did they punish Liu Manman, but they also sawed up the man who raped her.

  Ning Shu sneered. The cold-blooded murderer, who was hiding, actually saw himself as a messenger of justice.

  “Hurry up and get her down,” said Ning Shu.

  795 broke the rope, and Wang Jie helped Liu Manman down.

  “She won’t survive.” 795 said, “The bleeding can’t be stopped at all.”


  The lower part was gushing blood. In a moment, it had already formed a puddle.

  Liu Manman’s face was getting blue. She grabbed Ning Shu’s pant leg and said, “Save me…”


  Ning Shu didn’t speak. Liu Manman’s hands were stained with two lives.

  Liu Manman’s breathing gradually faded. Her bottom was still bleeding, emitting a stench of blood.

  “There are too many murderers.” Ning Shu said to 795, “How did she get to the inner courtyard? She would have told us if she wanted to use the toilet.”


  795 said, “Probably a secret tunnel.”


  People were dying quite frequently. If it was a single murderer, who was fast enough to commit the crimes almost simultaneously?

  It must be a partnership.

  Pan Chen and Lin Xia’s corpses were missing. They might be hiding nearby right now to spy on them.

  795 buried the body in the snow. “Let’s go back.”


  Ning Shu put away the rope; this was a tool that might be useful.

  Back in the hall, Ning Shu told the uncle about Liu Manman. She then stood to the side and leaned against the wall.

  Fan Junyang, who had gone upstairs to look for his necklace, came down with an ugly expression.

  Evidently, he got nothing.
