"Stop the car, stop!"

I desperately shook the car door handle,

but it was in vain.

The driver had already locked the doors.

I slapped his seat fiercely,

screaming louder than ever to make him stop.

But he was completely unaffected, he turned up the music and stepped on the gas, accelerating.

The scenery outside the car became increasingly desolate.

The ground was no longer the previous asphalt road, but a bumpy mountain road.

I thought dawn was approaching, but darkness loomed behind.

Due to immense fear, my body involuntarily trembled violently.

I started to beg the driver desperately.

"I was sold here, please don't send me back."

I trembled as I rolled up my pants:

"Look, last time I tried to run away, they broke my leg. If I go back this time, they will kill me! Can you live with that? This is a matter of life and death."

The driver, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke in a cold tone,

"The Xu family sold their only cow to marry you, spending a fortune. And you still can't behave? You deserve to be beaten to death."

Money.

A thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly took out a stack of cash from my coat pocket.

I pleaded with a trembling voice,

"Brother, I have two thousand and two hundred yuan here, I'll give it all to you if you let me go."

Two hundred of that money was given to me by my father-in-law, and the rest was stolen from my mother-in-law.

To them, two thousand and two hundred yuan should be a considerable sum.

Unexpectedly, the driver didn't even look at it and sneered,

"Do I need to offend the entire village for this small amount of money?"

I hurriedly increased my speech speed,

"Just let me go, I can bring you a lot more money when I go back, trust me!"

The driver replied impatiently,

"Even if you had more money, it wouldn't work. I have a close relationship with the Xu family. Besides, I have plenty of money, I live in a three-story Western-style building in the village."

He turned up the volume of the music, indicating that he didn't intend to pay any more attention to me.

My heart sank.

Despair gradually eroded my sanity.

I breathed heavily, and in the end, I took out a pair of scissors from my pants pocket,

pressing the tip against the driver's throat.

"Stop the car!" My voice sounded like a demon. "Or I'll stab you to death."

I tightly held my left hand with my right hand,

ensuring that my trembling right hand could keep the scissors firmly against his throat.

But he continued to drive as if unaffected.

I lightly pricked the skin with the tip of the scissors,

"I'm serious."

The driver shrugged,

"Don't you see the road we're on? If I die, the car will swerve and neither of us will survive."

I quickly glanced out the window.

The car was speeding along a mountain road.

On the left side was a dark mountain, and beneath the flimsy guardrail was a bottomless abyss.

He laughed heartily, "If we die together, I, Wang Daqiang, will have a good time as a ghost."

My hands were trembling violently.

I didn't want to die.

Wang Daqiang casually pushed away the scissors with his right hand, then straightened his collar.

Through the rearview mirror, I saw the large tattoo hidden under his clothes.

I couldn't help but exclaim, "It's you?!"

Wang Daqiang smirked, "What are you talking about?"

I urgently said, "A month ago, on my father-in-law's birthday, the person who came into my room was you!"

A trace of unease flashed across Wang Daqiang's face, "What are you saying?"

"That person's tattoo was exactly the same as yours! And there were words on his thigh, 'Little Lotus'!"

Wang Daqiang's face turned completely red, "Xu's wife, I was just drunk that day... If this gets out, you'll be a shameless person!"

I sneered, "Fine, take me back, I will definitely tell your wife!"

I accidentally overheard my father-in-law and mother-in-law talking before,

that the only three-story building in the village belonged to this bully, who relied on his wife's wealthy lover.

Wang Daqiang's face went pale.

He stopped the car slowly, sitting in silence, tapping the steering wheel absentmindedly, his expression conflicted.

No one spoke in the car, only the sounds of cheerful music filled the space.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sighed, "Get lost, pretend you never saw me."

Standing on the road, I took deep breaths of air.

I greedily sucked in the taste of freedom after surviving a disaster.

I walked step by step towards the foot of the mountain.

"Screech—" Suddenly, the sound of brakes screeching.

A white van stopped in front of me.

Zhang Peng leaned out of the window, sounding relieved and urgent, "An An, get in the car!"

The car slowly drove away from the village.

This time, I was finally leaving this nightmarish place.

"Xu Qinghuan could even prepare a car like this, this woman is terrifying."

Relieved after the tension, my mind went blank, and I listened silently to Zhang Peng's words.

"An An, you look really pale, have some water."

I gulped down the bottle of mineral water handed to me by Zhang Peng,

I wanted to ask him what our next step was,

but my head became even heavier, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't keep my eyes open.

At the last moment before passing out,

I faintly heard Zhang Peng's voice intermittently,

"Mi An An, I want you to suffer more than death."
