Promise You a Prosperous Life - C36
Because I was prepared for it this time, I immediately dashed out. When I arrived at the supermarket entrance, I saw that woman get on a bus and immediately understood why I couldn’t find her anywhere. She had already left by car.
Without a word, I stopped a taxi and chased it. After about three stops, the woman got off the taxi and I quickly told the driver to stop.
I thought I would catch that woman soon, but when I paid for it with WeChat, that woman had already walked far away, leaving only her blurry figure behind.
I looked around and saw that I was already in the suburbs, surrounded by houses of similar appearance, and the sky was getting darker, so I didn’t dare let my guard down. I stared at the woman and ran towards her.
However, due to my unfamiliarity with the terrain, after turning left and right, I could clearly see that the woman had entered the two rows of houses at the front. However, when I passed by, the woman was nowhere to be seen.
Could it be that he wanted her to disappear right under his nose? I beat my head ruefully and thought fast. Based on the fact that the woman was a water seller, and there was bound to be cartons in the house, I began to search one house after another.
Since there was not a single street lamp in sight, and the darkness of the clock was as dark as a dozen points, I could only identify it carefully by the faint light that came from each of the half-closed doors.
Finally, I saw a family filled with cartons and decided that it was the house. I raised my hand in excitement to open the door, but suddenly, a big black dog jumped out from the side and barked crazily at me.
After all, a person can’t possibly lose his life just by gritting his teeth for a second before he runs away in fright. This caused the big black dog to bark even louder, and it continued to chase me furiously.
As the smell of the dog grew clearer, I sensed that there was no escape. I saw a lump of meat next to the trash can in front of me turn around and I bent down to pick it up. I wanted to fight it to the death with the big black dog.
But strangely, when I squatted down, the big black dog still let out a terrifying bark, but its paw didn’t move forward even half a step. Suddenly, I remembered something that the elders had advised me to do: squat down and pick up something when I was walking past the vicious dogs.
I insisted on squatting down and took the opportunity to rest. In the darkness, the big black dog and I were staring at each other, but neither of us took the initiative to attack.
At this time, two middle-aged men and a woman came out of the house. They were calling the big black dog while cursing loudly.
“What thief dares to set his eyes on my house? He deserves to be bitten by a dog.”
I didn’t have the heart to pay attention to the insults I was receiving. I quickly looked at the middle-aged woman, only to discover that her figure was extremely well-built. The woman I was looking for was rather thin and she wasn’t the one I was looking for.
At this moment, a door in front of the middle-aged man and woman opened, revealing a woman’s face. She asked with a worried tone, “Sister-in-law, what happened?”
When I saw her, I was so excited that my entire body was trembling. She was the woman that I was looking for, the one who appeared in the hotel.
But in order not to cause unnecessary trouble for myself, I waited for them to finish talking before the middle-aged man and woman brought the big black dog back home. Only then did I run to the door where the woman appeared and push it open.
Seeing that the woman was about to enter the inner room, I shouted with all my might, “It’s been a long time.”
The woman stopped abruptly and turned around. She looked at me with a surprised expression on her face. “You are?”
I walked up to her and stared at her with fire in my eyes. “I don’t know you so soon. You sure are forgetful. Let me help you recall, not long ago, did you go to the Haitian Hotel to sell water? I was that woman who bought water on the third floor.”
The more I said, the angrier I got. “I have no enmity with you in my previous life, so why did you poison my child in a mineral water bottle? That’s only a baby that’s not even three months old, aren’t you afraid of retribution?
The woman’s face instantly became flustered. It was obvious that she was reminded of the wicked things she had done before, but then, she said.
“I really shouldn’t go to a hotel to sell water, but I also have to live a stressful life. There are people of all ages in my family, and my husband is paralyzed in his bed. How can I not think of all sorts of ways to earn money? But as you said, I sold water to kill your child.”
When I saw her denying everything, I was so angry that my lungs were about to explode. Just when I was thinking about how I would repay the child with my life, suddenly, the woman seems to have thought of something, and fear appears in her eyes.
“Could it be her?”
I’m smart.
That day, as I was selling water by the side of the road with a basket, a young girl in very fashionable clothes told me she was sorry for me and wanted to buy all my water, but only if I had to go to the third floor of the Hotel Haitian to sell a bottle of mineral water. She then handed me a bottle of mineral water.
“At that time, I felt that there was a problem, but I really wanted to return home early to take care of my husband, so I agreed on the spur of the moment. I thought it would be a bottle of mineral water, but I didn’t say anything.
The woman apologized through her tears, “I’m sorry. If I had known all this, I wouldn’t have done it even if I was poor.”
I felt as if my body had been pierced by the cold wind, and I froze. It wasn’t the woman in front of me who wanted to kill my child, but someone else.
“Can you describe her in detail?” I asked.
The woman’s expression changed again, “Oh, I remember now. I think I saw her on TV. She was a celebrity that came from our side, but her name was Yang Vince? Or Yang Bisi? I just don’t get it. ”
With a “boom,” I lost my balance as I stood very close to the door. I suddenly remembered that when Yang Wenzhen came out of the hotel room, he told me, gritting his teeth, “I wish you good luck.” It turned out that he was the one who had killed my child.
My heart was filled with rage, and I turned and ran out of the room with a fierce expression on my face.
After running for an unknown amount of time, the cold wind brought me back to reality. My entire body trembled as I squatted on the ground, tears flowing down my face.
“Child, I really am not fit to be your mother. Not only am I unable to protect you, I don’t even know who is trying to harm you. Child, you should have the spirit to punish your mother.”
After crying for a while, I shook off my tears and said while gritting my teeth.
“Yang Vince, I originally tolerated you, but that doesn’t mean I’m afraid of you. Now, you’re trying to harm my child, so let’s have a fight to the death.”
I wanted to call him at once, but when I dialed the last number, I stopped.
Forcing myself to grieve, I decided to think carefully before deciding to make a move.
