Chapter 112

What happened later that night?

Xiang Siling clearly remembers that when she pushed open the door, what she saw was blood all over the floor, an unconscious teenager, and Xiang Wei who was unconscious.

That room was as horrible as a murder scene.

She was terribly afraid, afraid that Luo Huaizheng would die, and also afraid that he would do something wrong for her who had nothing to do with her. She rushed to him, but didn't dare to touch him, fearing that this young man of gold would fall into eternal sleep. That was a burden that her already dirty and broken life could not bear. She didn't even look at Wei, because at that time, she only hated this nominal father.

"Later..." she told the police, "Li Meiling came back. In the storefront warehouse she rented, there was a small door in a very inconspicuous corner, blocked by shelves. Even the clerks were not told. So that year, the clerks testified that she slept at the back of the store."

Xiang Siling naturally didn't tell the police that the small door was also a small path for Li Meiling and Luo Hongmin to have an affair. It was just a coincidence that day that Li Meiling wanted to come back to get money to play cards, so she came in through the small door to save trouble and happened to see this scene.

As soon as Xiang Siling finished speaking, Chen Pu glanced at the dark glass next to the interrogation room. Yan Yong, who was standing next to Li Qingyao, said, "I'll go." He turned around and went out to check.

Xiang Siling: "She was also scared and asked me what happened."

That night, the dim night sky was like sticky lake water, spreading across the entire bloodstained room.

Xiang Siling still maintained the posture of protecting Luo Huaizheng with her whole body, and looked at Li Meiling with red eyes: "Xiang Wei wanted to rape me, and my classmates came and fought with him to save me."

Li Meiling widened her eyes, glanced at the boy on the ground, and said in a lost voice: "Is it the student who was recommended to Tsinghua University?!" Luo Huaizheng was too famous in the whole school, and most parents knew him.

"Why did he come?"

Xiang Siling shook his head: "I don't know..."

Li Meiling walked over and looked at Xiang Wei again, slowly bent her knees, tried to breathe, and left as soon as her hand touched him. She said, "He's still breathing." She looked dazed, as if she was neither worried nor angry. No one knew what she was thinking.

But there was an extra person in the room, and Xiang Siling, who was originally at a loss, came to her senses, let go of Luo Huaizheng, and took out a cell phone from the schoolbag on the sofa. As soon as she entered "120", the phone was snatched away.

Li Meiling stood in the dim light and looked at her: "What are you doing?"

"Call an ambulance! They are all seriously injured!" Xiang Siling tried to snatch the phone, but Li Meiling refused to give it to her. She put her daughter's phone in her pocket and said, "Are you crazy? Are you going to call the police next? Can we let the police investigate our family? Do you want everyone to know that your father wanted to rape your daughter? Can we still live as human beings as a family?"

"Give me your phone!" Xiang Siling screamed, pointing at the boy on the ground, tears streaming down her face, "He's seriously injured, he's going to die!"

Li Meiling hadn't figured out what to do. Her face turned pale, but she just refused to give the phone to Xiang Siling.

"I'm not Xiang Wei's biological daughter, so I'm not afraid of what others say!" Xiang Siling shouted, "It doesn't matter how you treat me. Luo Huaizheng is innocent, don't harm him!"

Now Li Meiling felt that she had caught her daughter. She said coldly, "Why are you so protective of him? What is your relationship with him? You are learning to steal at such a young age. If Lao Luo knew about this, he would beat you to death."

The fragile string in Xiang Siling's mind suddenly snapped. She pounced on Li Meiling and started fighting. But she had never fought before and was always quiet, while Li Meiling had seen all kinds of people and was always fierce and aggressive. Xiang Siling was slapped in the face and Li Meiling was hit in the chest by her. She was so angry that she grabbed her hair and cursed: "Your biological father is still in jail! Do you plan to let everyone know? The daughter of a prisoner can never have a good job in her life! I'm doing this for your own good, and you dare to hit me!"

Xiang Siling used all his strength, no matter how much his scalp hurt or how hard Li Meiling beat him, he just wanted to get the phone. He almost grabbed the phone in Li Meiling's pocket. A heavy groan was heard beside them.

At that moment, Xiang Siling was so frightened that she let go of her phone. Li Meiling also let go of her and took a step back.

The mother and daughter watched Xiang Wei, covering the bloody hole on their heads, and stumbled to their feet.

The light in the room was dim. Xiang Wei's face was pale and covered in blood. He looked like a ghost crawling back from hell. He shook his head, looked down at the blood on his hands, and cursed "Fuck..." At this time, Xiang Wei was obviously not sober enough, but violent enough. His eyes swept coldly over the mother and daughter who were at a loss, and then fell on the boy on the ground, hatred bursting in his eyes.

"Fuck him..." he roared, "Fuck him! I'll kill him!"

Xiang Wei glanced at the ground and saw the heavy ashtray that he had picked up and thrown at someone. Xiang Wei bent down and picked it up again, then staggered towards Luo Huaizheng.

"Dad, don't!" Xiang Siling rushed over to stop him, but he pushed her away: "I'm going to kill this kid today, kill him!"

"Bang!" The glass ashtray hit the boy's head, making a dull and creepy sound. Luo Huaizheng on the ground had clearly lost consciousness, but his whole body still convulsed with this movement. More blood flowed from his forehead.

Xiang Siling shuddered all over when he saw this.

She wanted to roar and scold with all her strength, but found that she could not make any sound. She rushed over desperately, blocking Luo Huaizheng's body with her body, blocking his head with her head, and hugging her beloved boy tightly with her hands.

[Let me die.] She thought, [I am the one who should die, as long as he can live, please, God, let him live.]

But Xiang Wei was really blood-thirsty, smiling ferociously, not caring who was on the ground, he picked up the ashtray and smashed it down again -

"boom!"

“Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!” “Bang!”…

The expected heavy blow did not fall. Xiang Siling trembled and held Luo Huaizheng's head, turning her stiff neck to look back. Xiang Wei had fallen to the ground, and Li Meiling was holding a candlestick and hitting his head again and again.

At that moment, Li Meiling looked even more like a ghost than Xiang Wei. Her beautiful eyes were almost bulging out, and her expression looked like she was laughing and crying at the same time. Xiang Wei clearly didn't move, but she still hit him mechanically.

Xiang Siling reacted immediately, stood up and hugged her, saying, "Mom, stop smashing it! Stop smashing it! It will kill people!"

Li Meiling was stunned for a while, as if she had just woken up from a dream. She lowered her hands, and the iron candlestick fell to the ground, along with the towel she was holding.

Yes, even though Li Meiling lost her mind and attacked Xiang Wei just now, she subconsciously did not forget to protect herself. For many years, she has been such a woman, maybe lazy, maybe greedy, maybe inhuman. But for her own interests and safety, she has always been extremely shrewd and smart. She never lets herself suffer the slightest loss.

Xiang Wei was lying on the ground with his eyes open, motionless.

Li Meiling's legs were weak, and she still had to rely on Xiang Siling to hold on. She said in a trembling voice: "Go and try, is he, he, he still alive?"

Xiang Siling looked at Xiang Wei's angry eyes and was also very scared. She slowly squatted down and tried his nose, but there was no breath.

"Mom..." Xiang Siling cried, "He's dead."

Li Meiling sat on the ground with a pale face, dazed, and first muttered to herself: "I... I was trying to save you, to save my daughter, this is considered legitimate defense... right?"

At that time, Xiang Siling's feelings towards her mother were extremely complicated. She instinctively disliked her and hated her, sacrificing herself to Luo Hongmin and becoming a plaything. But Li Meiling brainwashed her over and over again, saying that it was to save the family and for her own good. She told her every day that she could work less and downplayed the importance of "sex". These words confused Xiang Siling and gave her a distorted hope - her mother just had a distorted outlook on life, and she didn't mean to hurt her. She really thought that this was right and good. She was just ignorant and mercenary, and she was not bad to the end.

Because only by thinking this way will a teenage girl feel that she has not been completely abandoned by her parents.

And now, in front of Xiang Siling, when her life was at stake, it was indeed Li Meiling who killed Xiang Wei and saved her and Luo Huaizheng. This made Xiang Siling's originally cold heart feel warm again. She hugged her trembling mother and said, "Mom, it counts, it can definitely be considered self-defense, let's call the police and call an ambulance to save Luo Huaizheng."

Li Meiling's eyes slowly fell on the boy on the ground. She held Xiang Siling's hand tightly, her eyes bright, and said, "I didn't kill Xiang Wei, it was this kid who did it. When the police come, you will tell them this."
