Chapter 111: Two in a Row, Three in a Row, Defeating the Darkness
The video appears to have ended, and the screen goes completely black.
Ning Fengtai's voice suddenly came from the screen, cold-blooded and ruthless, every word piercing to the bone.
"Tsk, what a waste of that face, such a beautiful woman..."
Immediately afterwards, Ning Fengtai's voice suddenly became low and sultry, and it was not hard to tell that he was doing something strange to a female corpse.
He was panting and muttering something, as if venting his inner displeasure.
"I only married you for the Luo family's wealth, but you, on the contrary, caused a rift with your family because of the marriage, and I ended up with nothing."
"There's something you probably don't know, is there? The man you had a one-night stand with back then wasn't me. Haven't I, Ning Fengtai, been good enough by raising your bastard child, Ning Yao, for over ten years? All I want is a bracelet from you; it's what I deserve!"
"What an ungrateful wretch! If she had just handed over the goods, she wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Luo Xiyun, Luo Xiyun, ever since you married into my Ning family, when have I ever made you do any housework? Haven't I been considerate enough to you? You still treat me like an outsider, guarding against me like that, and you won't even give Bai Yan Xue Fei a second glance..."
"Now that you're dead, you're still causing me trouble. I'll have to find a secluded spot, dig a hole, and bury you later..."
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengtai almost collapsed on the spot. Instinctively, he rushed towards the projection room.
Suddenly, several tall and burly bodyguards appeared from the dark corner, easily restraining Ning Fengtai and rendering him unable to move.
Ning Yao had already seen this video, but when the truth reappeared before her eyes, she still found it unbearable.
Ning Fengtai did love her. Ning Yao remembered that one year she fell on her way home from school and her knee bled a lot. She held back her tears the whole way, but broke down when she saw Ning Fengtai. Ning Fengtai picked her up and carried her into the house. He patiently and gently coaxed her, and even personally applied medicine to her knee wound, breathed on it, and patted her head.
When Ning Yao was a child, she was considered chubby among her peers, and people often bullied her, calling her a fat girl or a fat pig.
Ning Fengtai would always protect her and personally teach those brats who bullied her a lesson when he heard about it.
Ning Yao was very dependent on Ning Fengtai. She naively believed that no matter what happened, her father would be her safe haven, doing everything he could to protect and love her.
Until the day she was dragged into the basement, she believed that her father had been bewitched by Feng Meiyi to do things that hurt her mother and her. After repairing the space and obtaining the video left by her mother, Ning Yao's heart turned completely cold after seeing the content of the video.
Ning Fengtai was not even her biological father, and they had no blood relation whatsoever.
Over the years, he and Feng Meiyi have worked together, with one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, completely outmaneuvering her and her mother...
Ning Yao shivered violently, the chill that started in her heart gradually spreading to her limbs, making her feel as if she were in the dead of winter.
A coat, still warm from the man's body, was draped over Ning Yao's shoulders. Ning Yao shuddered and turned to look at the owner of those hands.
Wen Tingye sat down with a cool and dignified air. Without even looking at the screen, he leaned closer to Ning Yao and subtly enveloped her tightly clenched fist in his palm.
The man's hot fingertips pressed against Ning Yao's hand, loosening her tightly clenched fingers one by one.
His fingernails left several bloody marks on his palm. Wen Tingye frowned and quietly called his assistant over.
The assistant quickly appeared with a small medical kit. Wen Tingye took out some wound medicine and bandages, then took out a bottle of disinfectant, dipped a cotton swab in it, and personally treated Ning Yao's wound for bloodstains.
For Ning Yao, Wen Tingye's appearance was like a ray of light suddenly shining into the darkness, clear and warm.
Ning Yao pressed her lips together tightly, showing no sign of struggling.
She let Wen Tingye hold her hand, her long, dark, curled eyelashes trembling slightly, glistening with tears.
After treating Ning Yao's palm, Wen Tingye silently stretched out his arm and pulled her slender body into his embrace.
"With me here, you never have to wrong yourself." Ning Yao heard the man's extremely gentle and deep voice.
Ning Yao nodded, then shook her head fiercely, clenching her teeth tightly, unwilling to shed tears in front of the Ning family.
She shouldn't have a weak side, and she shouldn't give the Ning family any more chances to hurt her.
The man beside her exuded a warmth that made her feel incredibly attached. Ning Yao shrank her shoulders, like a wounded little wildcat in the rain, and buried her head in Wen Tingye's arms.
Wen Tingye tightened his grip, holding the woman in his arms even closer, giving her strength in an invisible way.
Ning Yao noticed and looked up, her eyes meeting Wen Tingye's. The man's deep gaze immediately struck Ning Yao's heart.
She was surrounded by gloom, all around her was darkness and filth, but Wen Tingye was like a powerful golden lightning bolt, splitting the darkness around her and tearing out a bright and enchanting fairytale-like realm of light for her.
Ning Yao's sinking mood suddenly stopped, and a calm she had never felt before washed over her. She looked at Wen Tingye, and an inexplicable emotion slowly resurfaced in her mind.
She has escaped from that basement and will not be taken back in. After today, the Ning family of three will no longer have the opportunity to torture her.
Feng Meiyi was on the phone with her lawyer when she hung up and found that Ning Fengtai was so frightened by the video that his legs went weak and he couldn't even stand up straight. The two bodyguards beside him obviously didn't care whether he lived or died. Seeing that Ning Fengtai was dizzy and had no strength to run away, they let go of him and threw him on the ground.
Feng Meiyi cursed Ning Fengtai inwardly for being spineless. How could a grown man be afraid and feel guilty when things were so dire?
Once the truth is revealed, wouldn't that confirm that the content in Ning Yao's video is true?
There could never have been video footage in the basement at that time; the content must have been fabricated, and even if it went to court, it couldn't be used as evidence.
Feng Meiyi pretended to care about her husband and rushed to Ning Fengtai's side, squatted down behind him, and whispered a reminder in his ear.
"This video can't be real. Don't panic. Be careful that little bitch doesn't find any dirt on us!"
Ning Fengtai had been disheartened and thought he was doomed to be in jail, but Feng Meiyi's reminder suddenly cheered him up.
Yes, the basement was built by him and Feng Meiyi together.
It's impossible for anyone else to come in or go besides them, so how could there be cameras?
Ning Fengtai swept away the disheveled look in his eyes, straightened his back, and stood up with the help of Feng Meiyi. His eyes glared fiercely at Ning Yao.
