Chapter 6

I called my parents and told them to come back.

But by then, I’d already taken my sister away.

“Mom, she’s getting better. I’ve taken her with me. The specialist’s appointment is on Friday.”

They didn’t say much, just kept urging me to make sure she was examined thoroughly.

I turned to look at my sister in the passenger seat.

That bastard Jiang Cheng would never stop as long as she was alive.

This time, I’d been lucky enough to beat her into being an idiot again.

If she ever recovered completely, it wouldn’t just expose what I’d done. Jiang Cheng would lose access to her too. He’d take it out on me in the end and crush me underfoot.

So…

I figured I should use my sister one last time and pin a rape charge on him.

Then make sure she… could never threaten me again.

I settled my sister into my place in the city.

Before Friday came, I bought a number of concealed cameras.

I installed them in the hallway of the hotel Jiang Cheng was going to use.

I put a few on my sister’s clothes too.

Soon, Friday arrived.

With Jiang Cheng constantly hurrying me, I took her to the hotel.

As usual, I personally delivered her to his door.

She didn’t speak to me this time, and I didn’t give her a chance to say anything.

I slammed the door shut and strode out of the hotel.

Through the concealed cameras, I watched Jiang Cheng tear her clothes off.

Then came all those awful sounds…

I copied everything onto my computer.

The next morning, I planned to take her to the hospital for a medical certificate.

As long as she was diagnosed with a mental illness,

the law would make Jiang Cheng a rape suspect, whether she’d been willing or not.

Then I’d have my leverage firmly in hand.

And I could… find a reason to silence her for good.

My bright future would be secure.

But something happened that I never expected.

I didn’t get a call from Jiang Cheng telling me to pick her up.

Instead, the local police contacted me.

“Is this Zhou Nan? Chengguan Police Station. We need your cooperation with a case. Come over immediately.”

Bewildered, I drove to Chengguan Police Station.

In the reception room, I found my sister sitting calmly in a chair.

She looked exhausted, and there were bruises on her neck.

The moment she raised her head, I shuddered.

Her eyes looked normal again!

I swallowed hard.

I was about to pretend to ask the police what had happened

when she suddenly stood, pointed at me, and said coldly,

“He’s my younger brother. He forced me to go to the hotel.”

“And this hasn’t just happened once or twice. He’s been making money from my body. Before, when there was something wrong with my mind, he sold me to other people to abuse.”

At that moment, I didn’t even want to explain.

I turned and ran.

The police came after me. I darted through traffic like a madman, finally ducking into a patch of woods and losing them.

My heart hammered.

Even now, I still thought it must be a dream.

Had my sister tricked me?

I hadn’t beaten her back into her old condition at home after all.

She’d pretended to be an idiot so she could send me to prison!

I punched a tree hard.

I couldn’t understand why that bastard Zhou Xiaoya wouldn’t understand me.

She’d been dirtied countless times already. Why did one more matter?

Because of this, Jiang Cheng would be arrested.

And I’d become a fugitive in an instant.

My life was ruined!

I’d spent three shameless years fighting for everything I had. Now it was all gone!

Then my phone rang.

The number ended in 110.

Terrified, I smashed the phone and hurried away again.

I found a phone shop as quickly as I could.

I wanted to buy a used phone and withdraw every yuan in my WeChat balance.

But when I inserted my SIM card and logged back into the app,

I discovered that my balance had been frozen.

I could even hear police cars in the distance.

They’d probably tracked me.

I threw away the phone, not even daring to keep the SIM card, and went on the run again.
