456 The Awful Truth!!
As soon as Shen Ruojing heard this, she was almost going crazy.
She logged out of Weibo and called Rong Rong.
The phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.
Hence, she could only switch back to Weibo.
Rong Rong seemed to be organizing her thoughts. Her fists were clenched tightly because of nervousness, anxiety, and unease.
She finished her opening remarks but couldn’t bring herself to reveal the most embarrassing part of her life in front of everyone.
At this moment, the reporter broadcasting the live stream was staring at the barrage of comments.
Suddenly, that reporter noticed something and asked in surprise, “Someone said that you, Miss Rong, went abroad thirteen years ago? How could you have been kidnapped?”
Going abroad was a cover-up that protected Rong Rong’s remaining self-esteem all these years. But at this moment, she had to expose it herself.
She took a deep breath and said slowly, “I didn’t go abroad. Thirteen years ago, when I was fifteen, I was abducted by the human traffickers. I was very scared at the time and only knew that they put me in a dark burlap bag and drove around for four or five days before arriving at the destination. Then they threw me into an underground cave that was 20 meters deep. It was there that I met Little Jing, Shen Ruojing.”
The reporters exploded with questions, “Miss Rong, are you telling the truth?”
“The young lady in the story that Shen Ruojing told was you?”
“Does that mean those people were really human traffickers, not researchers? Are all the villagers lying?”
“There are wicked people in poor remote areas, so it’s not impossible!”
However, some of the reporters’ questions were more probing. “You were already fifteen at that time. Were you violated by them?”
This question made Rong Rong freeze.
(That’s how this society is, right? When women are harmed, everyone is always eager to gossip…)
She clenched her fists and raised her voice suddenly. “When I was brought in, Little Jing had been captured for half a year. She was skinny like a skeleton because the traffickers were afraid we would escape, and they only gave us one cornbread a day! Every time the traffickers came to deliver food and water, I could see that Little Jing was holding something tightly in the palm of her hand. I noticed it from the first day, but I didn’t know what it was. She never told me about it until later when those traffickers found a buyer for me and wanted to sell me…”
She closed her eyes, and her body trembled. She could barely hold herself up. But she knew she had to speak the rest of those words herself to clear Shen Ruojing’s name!
She couldn’t fall.
She looked at the crowd again and said, “Little Jing advised me at that time, no matter what, I had to stay alive, only by being alive would there be a hope of escaping. The basement was 20 meters deep, and if we couldn’t eat enough for a long time, we would have no strength left. She hoped that after I arrived at the buyer’s place, I would coax those people to eat first and then find a chance to escape. She even made an escape plan for me…” Rong Rong laughed a little low here. “But I’m a coward. I couldn’t be as strong as she was. I couldn’t see any hope, so I picked up a tile and decided to commit suicide.”
As she spoke, she was recalling those dark days with a hopeless expression on her face, and the reporters watching were all holding their breath.
Even the people talking in the live chat at the moment were few.
This kind of silence made Rong Rong clench her jaw.
She pursed her lips and continued, “Then, when I was about to be taken away, Little Jing finally handed me the thing she had been holding in her palm all the time. Every time I asked her what she was holding, she would say that it was the gate for demons to enter the human world. I didn’t understand her words, but even when she was feverish and unconscious, I couldn’t pry open her hand to see what it was.”
As she said this, almost everyone had guessed what was in Shen Ruojing’s hand.
Rong Rong laughed. “Yes, it’s No. 5 Neurotoxin, an incurable poison. It’s colorless and tasteless. Just touching it can take your life. Little Jing was kidnapped for seven months and always had a way to save herself. But she was afraid that this thing would spread, so she would rather be trapped there and never use it. In the end, she used it, but it was because of me!”
At this point, Shen Ruojing had run to the door.
She pushed the door open as a creaking sound rang out.
Rong Rong then turned to look at her.
Rong Rong stood there, but her slender body seemed as sharp as a blade, seemingly carrying an indestructible courage!
Shen Ruojing knew that she was too late.
Rong Rong had said everything that needed to be said…
She just looked at Rong Rong with slightly red eyes and saw Rong Rong giving her a sad smile in return.
“Little Jing urged me in every possible way, telling me to run if I had a chance and not to use the toxin unless it was absolutely necessary. She told me how to handle the toxin properly and warned me not to let it leak out… But when the traffickers took me to their room, I found out it wasn’t the day of the transaction, rather, they wanted to…”
Rong Rong fell silent for a moment before continuing, “With that toxin in my hand, I had confidence. But because Little Jing treated it so seriously, I knew I couldn’t use it recklessly. I didn’t plan on using it, but that night, they wanted to take advantage of me… I was terrified, which was why I decided to poison them.”
Shen Ruojing was stunned. She had no idea about this part.
When Rong Rong was taken by the human traffickers, all Shen Ruojing could hear from upstairs was a burst of laughter.
Then it became quiet until the next day when Captain Cui’s team received a report and came to the scene to rescue her from the underground cave.
She asked Captain Cui’s team about it, but they didn’t say much and only said it was Rong Rong’s privacy.
But now she realized that there was such filth in the situation.
Rong Rong must have been forced to the extreme by those people, which then led her to use the toxin.
Her eyes turned red
Rong Rong felt as if she was standing naked in front of everyone. She clenched her fists and her body kept trembling.
She looked up at the reporter and saw both pity and distrust in their eyes.
Sure enough, a reporter spoke up, “How can we believe you? What if you are lying to clear Miss Shen’s name?”
Rong Rong seemed to have been prepared for this.
She smiled bitterly and said, “Don’t worry, the story isn’t over yet. After I killed the human traffickers, I was so frightened when I happened to encounter a family of six who was responsible for delivering food to those traffickers. I saw them freely entering and exiting and mistakenly thought that they were working with the traffickers. In order to escape, I killed them…”
The crowd was shocked by her words.
Rong Rong continued, “Killing the human traffickers was justifiable self-defense, but killing the six villagers was excessive and accidental manslaughter. Therefore, I was sentenced to 13 years in prison.”
Her knuckles turned white from her tight grip.
She then took out the court’s judgment and the release papers from her pocket, slowly holding them out. “These are the undeniable black marks in my life, the evidence of what I just said!”
Suddenly, the crowd erupted.
No one had expected Rong Rong to confess so thoroughly.
For Shen Ruojing’s sake, Rong Rong tore open her wounds that were slowly healing, displaying them thoroughly in front of everyone.
