Evil arises from the edge of courage!
I suddenly stomped down hard on Jiang Xiaohao's toes.
"Ah—"
A scream erupted as Jiang Xiaohao dropped the knife and sat on the ground, clutching his foot.
The wrench in the taxi driver's hand was just raised when Bearded Man kicked it away.
"Old Luo, signal!" Qin Jian turned to Bearded Man and shouted.
A chaotic sound of footsteps echoed through the jungle.
Suddenly, Brother Gun burst out with his men, holding AK47 rifles, their dark muzzles aimed at us.
"Sister Jiang, I'm sorry. You should go with them," Jiang Xiaoli pushed me away, her words dripping with malice.
Jiang Xiaohao got back up: "Did you bring the money?"
"Hahaha..." Brother Gun's laughter sent chills down my spine, "Here you go!"
A bag was thrown over.
"You guys...?"
Jia Huairen's face turned pale. What he pulled out from the bag was a large handful of Ghost Money.
"A sister who sells herself for money, a pair of scoundrels who sell their colleagues for cash—you're all worse than pigs and dogs, and you deserve to spend this kind of money!" Brother Gun circled around us, "One turns into six; this time we hit the jackpot! Take them all!"
At that moment, I truly felt despair.
8.
At the border, the barbed wire was as thick as a finger.
But this group of people reached a spot, pushed aside some grass, and found that a square meter of wire had been sawed through!
On the other side of the barbed wire was Myanmar's Northern Region!
Jiang Xiaoli looked terrifyingly pale, Jia Huairen's pants were already wet, and Jiang Xiaohao's face was ashen!
Even if I die here, I won't go back with them!
I ran back recklessly, sprinting with all my might; the desperation fueled me to run at a hundred-meter dash speed.
Gunfire rang out!
I felt a heavy blow to my back and fell against a rock.
In a daze, a familiar face grabbed my head and shook it desperately: "Wife! Qiu Ying!"
More gunfire erupted; blood seeped from his mouth as his body convulsed and collapsed on top of me.
We are all done for.
I never expected to open my eyes again! Qin Jian was shot, and the pain on his face brought tears streaming down mine. If it weren't for me, perhaps he wouldn't have... That man who agreed to all my parents' unreasonable conditions for me, that man who risked his life for me, ultimately fell before me for my sake!
"You’re awake!" The young nurse exclaimed with surprise.
Jiang Xiaoli turned out to be Jia Huairen's "lover," but her private life was a mess—she was addicted to drugs, contracted STDs, and even hepatitis B, which she passed on to Jia Huairen. Treating her illnesses would cost a fortune, and the expenses for her drug habit were an endless pit.
Jiang Xiaohao, my younger brother, squandered the 500,000 we gave him to buy a house on gambling and lost it all. For money, these two groups of people who met at my wedding became entangled. Jiang Xiaohao plotted: My brother-in-law is wealthy; we could do this...
The business trip was arranged specifically by Jia Huairen. Jiang Xiaoli secretly took my phone, cutting off my contact with my husband for a while, and told him I had fallen into a trap in Myanmar's Northern Region. Then she sent me off to Myanmar's Northern Region through local "brokers."
The only fortunate thing was that Jiang Xiaoli's ID and medical report were accidentally left in my bag by those two bastards, preventing me from being violated by those scoundrels!
When the extortion call came in, Qin Jian panicked immediately. For my sake, he agreed to bring 3 million for the "transaction." Jiang Xiaohao followed him with the intention of getting that three million.
Qin Jian risked everything to save me but wasn’t foolish enough to bring three million in cash. The Bearded Man was his former comrade, local to the area; he initially accompanied him there but was outsmarted by my brother: the box meant to hold the money and my phone were stolen by Jiang Xiaohao.
My husband and his comrade fought desperately to rescue me from the clutches of those thugs. Back in Jiangcheng, I resigned from my job and stayed home to recuperate.
In our newly bought large house, there was a nanny taking care of me and keeping me company. However, my parents unexpectedly showed up. My father shouted angrily, "You disaster-bringer! How could you send your own brother to prison!" My mother slapped me across the face and said, "If the Jiang family is cut off, I'll tear you apart!"
As they moved to strike again, the nanny Xiao Cui shielded me and called the police.
At the police station, I played them a recording:
"Is it going smoothly?"
"I almost lost my life; bullets were whizzing past my ear!"
"What about the money?"
"They're all here. I took the chance while he was in the bathroom!"
"I fell for it. It's all Ghost Money!"
"What? How is that possible...?"
The two cursed in frustration...
They then talked about Jiang Xiaoli:
"What about your girlfriend?"
"Don't mention her. She's more trouble than she's worth..."
"Do you have any real feelings for her?"
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't she the one making a fuss about you getting a divorce, making your life a mess...? Why not get rid of her too?"
"She's sick right now and has infected me too. Otherwise, with my salary of three to five hundred thousand, I wouldn't bother with this kind of thing... But getting rid of her now does seem like a good opportunity..."
"Let's go back through that passage."
"If there's a next time, let's contact each other directly! Without the middleman, we could make more money."
"You really are ruthless; you're willing to sell out your own sister!"
The two speaking were my younger brother and Jia Huairen.
After falling into the pit, I passed out and couldn't climb back up for a while. Qin Jian, worried about pursuers, covered us with leaves, and we happened to run into Jiang Xiaohao and Jia Huairen who were stealing boxes.
Later, he took me to the hospital and reported to the police and border control with brother Lou, providing clues. This time, I became the bait for fishing, while Qin Jian and brother Lou kept track of my movements.
Our border troops and police worked together to capture the armed intruders along with scum like Jia Huairen, Jiang Xiaohao, and Jiang Xiaoli at the last moment!
I will never forget that scene in the hospital:
A nurse ran out, and a familiar figure rushed in, kissing my head wrapped in thick bandages: "Wife, you've been asleep for over seventy hours. I thought you would never wake up!"
Warm liquid fell on my face.
—To protect me, my husband indeed took many bullets, but he had a bulletproof vest provided by border control; he only suffered minor injuries from the impact of the bullets.
It's not a big deal; at least it won't affect our future plans for having children.
(The End)
