She Was Sentenced to Life Imprisonment [Unlimited] - Chapter 10

Chapter 10

◎ Holding on so you don’t get lost ◎

Jiang Nan put away her knife. She saw that Luo Ning was still looking at her with a half-smile. Although there was no malice, it wasn’t much better either, making her shudder.

She was silent for a moment, then decided to ignore Luo Ning’s gaze and walked straight into the police station. Luo Ning, seeing this, followed her, her smile still on her lips, and called out.

“Little Jiang Nan, why didn’t you wait for me?”

Since they were here, Jiang Nan could probably guess that they wanted to call the police.

But… could they really succeed?

Jiang Nan couldn’t help but frown, remembering the perverted village. She had a vague sense of foreboding.

Poor mountains and nasty waters breed ill-mannered people. That group of wicked people, even if they knew what they were doing was illegal, still committed crimes under the protection of the village. How could they let them go?

Thinking of this, Jiang Nan’s heart felt a little uncomfortable.

At this moment, her wrist was grabbed. The familiar touch and warm body temperature came through her skin, as if silently supporting her. This made Jiang Nan know it was Luo Ning without even having to guess.

Jiang Nan: …

What’s wrong with this person? Why does she like to hold her hand so much?

If Luo Ning weren’t a woman, and a very beautiful one at that, her frequent actions towards Jiang Nan would definitely be misunderstood as those of a pervert.

“Let go.”

Jiang Nan said coldly. No matter what the other person’s purpose was, she should stay away from her.

She wanted to break free from the other person’s grip, but for some reason, the other person’s strength grew.

Luo Ning smiled, but she had no intention of letting go. Her tone was careless, yet it had a hint of doting as she said.

“Be a good girl. I’m holding you so you don’t get lost.”

The tone was like哄 a child, which made Jiang Nan unhappy, but she really couldn’t break free from the other person’s hand.

Hearing this, Jiang Nan’s face turned black with anger. She pursed her lips, then was about to say something.

The next moment, she was pulled away by the other person, leaving Jiang Nan with no choice but to follow behind her.

The sound of high heels on the ground was muffled, and each step seemed to land on a person’s heart. The powerful aura made people instinctively feel intimidated.

The moment Luo Ning stopped, Jiang Nan looked up and saw the bridesmaids who had entered earlier.

The person who received the bridesmaids was a young female police officer. She was very gentle, and even though their words were a little incoherent due to fear, she patiently listened to them.

After a long time, the female police officer had finished listening to their sobbing descriptions and understood the cause and effect of their encounter. The face that had been wearing a gentle smile was now full of indignation, but due to her identity, she could only curse in secret. She also felt sorry for these victims.

The female police officer found blankets for them, not wanting them to catch a cold in their thin clothes, and then went to pour them hot water.

“Calm down first,” the female police officer said in a warm tone, comforting them. But she also knew that in this situation, it was impossible for ordinary people to be calm.

They didn’t want to cry either, but they had just escaped from those devils. Even if their tears were no longer flowing, there were only tear streaks on their faces. Their smudged makeup seemed to silently narrate their terrible experience.

They couldn’t stop sobbing. The hands holding the water cups were trembling, clenching tightly, turning a frightening white. Their exposed arms were covered in purple bruises.

“You’re going to go back and arrest them, right?”

With a choked sob, they looked at the female police officer with a fragility that seemed like they would shatter at any moment. The uniform on the other person was like their last straw of hope.

The female police officer was stunned for a moment. She looked at them with hopeful eyes and felt a little unbearable. She hesitated and said.

“This requires sufficient evidence.”

Even though she wanted to arrest them, her identity made it impossible for her to cross the line of the law.

That was a remote village, and they had already experienced the shamelessness of those people.

Another bridesmaid seemed to remember something. The water cup in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and water spilled everywhere.

She suddenly grabbed the arm of the person next to her, with a force so great that it seemed like she was going to tear a piece of flesh off the other person’s arm. Her voice was already hoarse, and she screamed.

“The camera, the cameraman was there all along…”

By the end, her expression collapsed again. She let go of the hand of the person next to her and started pulling her own hair hard, pulling it out without caring, as if she couldn’t feel the pain. She muttered to herself.

“They all deserve to die…”

The bridesmaid whose wrist was grabbed was the calmest among them. Even though she winced in pain from being grabbed, she didn’t push the other person away. When she heard what was just said, she also immediately remembered. Even though she was also facing the collapse of being exposed, she still endured it and said to the female police officer with a trembling voice.

“The wedding cameraman, he must have a video of what happened.”

Even if it was unpleasant, they knew that this was their only hope.

The female police officer had already asked her colleagues to go to the wedding to find the person the moment she heard this, while she continued to comfort them.

Jiang Nan was silent for a long time. Her eyes gradually turned cold, and then she spoke, her voice flat.

“They didn’t succeed.”

She said it calmly, as if stating a fact. Only no one noticed the hint of strangeness hidden in her.

In fact, there was no need to say it. Jiang Nan also knew the outcome. If they had succeeded, there would not have been a headless ghost later.

Luo Ning didn’t rush to answer. Instead, she pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then said something without a beginning or an end.

“Haven’t you humans always said that the human world is hell?”

Humans?

Her words were inexplicable. After Jiang Nan heard them, she glanced at the other person. Her gaze was heavy, and no one knew what she was thinking.

The cameraman was brought in quickly, but he wasn’t the only one. There were also a large number of relatives following behind him. They were usually kind and friendly, but now they looked fierce, as if they were here to fight, just because they heard that someone wanted to report and arrest their family members.

When the female police officer saw them, she frowned, and a bad feeling rose in her heart. She stood on guard in front of the bridesmaids, not showing any fear in the face of the large crowd.

The cameraman also had a shifty look, and it was said that he was a friend of the groom’s side.

“We would like to borrow the wedding video to take a look. Please cooperate with us,” the female police officer said directly.

But the cameraman was not afraid at all. He had a nonchalant look on his face, spread his hands, and said helplessly.

“No video. The camera was damaged by water.” After saying that, he even looked at the bridesmaids behind the female police officer in a rascal manner.

Hearing this, a few bridesmaids immediately became emotional, but more so, they were collapsing from their hope being shattered. They said almost powerlessly.

“You’re lying…”

That cameraman was a hoodlum. He immediately laughed lewdly and said to them.

“If I’m lying, won’t you know if you search?”

The video was in his hands. It was up to him what he said. Even if they found it, he could say that it was something he had unintentionally filmed. What could they do to him?

Thinking this, he became even more arrogant.

After the cameraman finished speaking, the aunts and mothers among the relatives, who had been blocked by the police, suddenly gained some confidence and became agitated. They pointed at the bridesmaids and cursed loudly.

“What video? It’s clearly you b*tches who shamelessly seduced our sons and now you want to be the victim and sue them. Bah.”

“They were clearly the ones…”

They were so overwhelmed by the cursing of the crowd that they felt like they were drowning in a sea of spit, unable to breathe. With red eyes, they wanted to explain, but no matter what they said, it seemed pale and powerless in the face of the crowd’s curses.

They saw those culprits hiding behind the aunts and mothers, looking smug and pointing at them, laughing and talking with the people next to them.

Their faces were pale, and even with the support of the female police officer, they couldn’t stand up.

They understood that the justice they wanted was likely unobtainable.

The aunts and mothers rushed forward regardless of the obstruction, grabbing them and punching and kicking them, cursing them as “b*tches.”

One bridesmaid seemed unable to bear it anymore and rushed out of the crowd in a breakdown. Her pathetic appearance was so helpless.

Suddenly, a car sped by, and a muffled thud did not stop the cursing over there at all.

Bl00d splattered. Under the body that collapsed, it was already a bloody mess. The pure white dress was gradually stained red. The bloody smell in the air was shocking.

The man who got out of the car was the uncle who had brought Jiang Nan and the others to the village. When he saw this scene, his body went limp. His face was pale, and he muttered to himself.

“Someone’s dead, someone’s dead…”

The police immediately ran over and sealed off the scene, leaving the other two bridesmaids to be surrounded, torn apart, and cursed at.

Their empty, lifeless eyes watched the bl00d flow to their feet, being trampled on by them. The crimson on the soles of their shoes proved that they were trampling on a human life.

Luo Ning turned to look at Jiang Nan. Seeing that her face was not looking good, she didn’t think and pulled her into her arms. The warm breath on her skin was a little itchy. She only heard Luo Ning speak in a comforting tone.

“We should leave now.”

Her words were very soft, like a poppy, like a swamp, enticing people to fall deep into it, unable to extricate themselves.
