The Divine Eye for Appreciating Treasures: Starting from Escape from Northern Myanmar
Chapter 1165 The Beaten Woman
The business car slowly drove into a hidden and elegant private club. It was late at night, and the lights outside the club softly sprinkled on the exquisite iron gate, revealing a hint of mystery and nobility.
The car door opened slightly, and a beautiful office lady in a smart professional suit and outstanding temperament walked elegantly into the club in high heels.
There was fatigue and determination in her eyes, as if she was about to face an unfinished battle.
Inside the club, soft lighting shines on the exquisite decoration, creating a warm yet solemn atmosphere.
She walked through the long corridor and finally stopped in front of an elegantly decorated private room. She gently pushed open the door and saw laughter and joy in the room. Several women, also dressed exquisitely and with extraordinary temperament, were sitting around a round table. On the table were a variety of exquisite snacks and several unopened bottles of red wine.
Seeing her coming, several women stood up, their faces filled with concern and expectation.
They are all close friends of this beautiful office lady. In order to find the long-missing person, they did not hesitate to mobilize their family's influence in all walks of life, even including the network of relationships in the police department.
During this period, they turned almost the entire city upside down and conducted an unprecedented "special census", but unfortunately, they still found no clues.
The beautiful OL walked slowly to the table, her eyes lingering on each sister's face for a moment, and finally fixed on the wine glasses on the table.
She gently picked up a goblet, which had been filled with red wine from her favorite vintage, as if to indicate that the topic of the night would not be a light one.
She raised her glass and bowed deeply to every sister present. Her voice was slightly choked but very firm: "Thank you all. I have seen and remembered your efforts during this period. I know that for me, you have used almost all the connections and resources you can think of. I will never forget this friendship."
After saying that, she took a sip of the red wine, letting the mellow taste slowly melt on her tongue, as if paving the way for the emotions that were about to surge out.
"But, so much time has passed, and all my efforts seem to have been in vain. I began to get scared, afraid that the worst would really happen. But no matter what, I will not give up. I believe that as long as we don't give up, we will find him one day, or at least get justice for him."
Everyone nodded: "You're welcome, I believe auntie will be fine."
Everyone comforted each other.
It's fine?
It's been so long, how could everything be alright? In fact, I already had a bad feeling in my heart.
But everyone has worked hard, so we should relax today.
The world is so big, where is mother?
In the vast northwestern border of the Xia Kingdom, there is a land forgotten by time. The natural conditions here are harsh, with yellow sand all over the sky and sparse villages, as if it were a few strokes of desolation inadvertently left behind by nature.
As night falls, the dim moonlight shines on this desolate land, adding a sense of loneliness and bleakness.
In this forgotten corner, there are several deserted villages that are almost in ruins, quietly telling the story of their past prosperity and present desolation.
One of the villages was particularly desolate. Its name seemed to have been blown away by the wind, leaving behind only a string of memories of the past and a few frail elderly people.
The younger generation could no longer bear the hardships here and fled to the legendary big cities that were full of opportunities and prosperity, leaving behind empty houses and a few lonely old people.
Time is merciless. As these old people passed away one after another, the village gradually fell into complete silence.
On this quiet night, a faint light came from an abandoned house in the village, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness.
Inside the house, the atmosphere was tense and depressing. Hu Jun, a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and fierce eyes, was sitting at a shabby wooden table with a cheap cigarette in his hand. His face looked even gloomier in the smoke.
Beside him, kneeling was a ragged, haggard woman, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.
"Pa!" A crisp slapping sound broke the silence in the room. Hu Jun mercilessly slapped the woman in the face and shouted angrily: "I gave you food and drink, and this is how you repay me? How dare you hit my customer! Do you know how worried I was after that old man left? What if he doesn't come again in the future? How can I run this small business?"
The woman's body was trembling, tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't dare let them fall.
She knew she had made a big mistake, but the grievance and helplessness in her heart surged like a tide.
"I... I didn't mean it..." the woman explained with a sob, "That old man... he... he..." Before she could finish her words, another slap landed on the other side of her face. Hu Jun had obviously lost his patience.
"That's enough!" Hu Jun shouted angrily, interrupting the woman. "I don't want to hear your explanation! Now, get out of here and find a way to make up for the loss yourself! If I don't see that old man tomorrow, or if he doesn't bring the 'guest' I want, don't come back!"
The woman trembled when she heard this. She knew that she had no way out.
She struggled to stand up and staggered out of the abandoned house. In the night, her figure seemed particularly lonely and insignificant.
Inside the house, Hu Jun continued to smoke, his eyes flashing with ruthlessness and calculation, as if he was thinking about his next move.
In this desolate land, the darkness and struggle of human nature are infinitely magnified, and every choice may become a turning point of fate.
For those who have been forgotten by the times, survival is often more important than dignity.
The woman came out. It was pitch dark outside. There was something wrong with her eyes. She seemed to be considering the possibility of escaping.
But in a place like this, I don’t know anything, not even the direction, so how can I run?
But if I don't run, I will be in dire straits and be killed by these people.
The woman looked into the distance and walked step by step towards the guest's home. He was just in the south. Now she had to serve him well before she could come back. If she didn't serve him well, she would probably be beaten half to death again.
So they had to go to the old man's house. The old man was a pervert, but the woman suddenly thought of something. The old man said that his son was a high-ranking official in the city, and if he could make a phone call and ask for help from the outside world.
I can then leave this dire situation and return to a normal life.
Now all hope lies on that old man. It seems he has to show off his skills.
