After three years, Xu Jiaru stared blankly at the blue sky and white clouds through that narrow window every day. That was the freedom she had been longing for all her life.
Her eyes were gradually blurred by tears, and she recalled the scene of being played with three years ago. They were like playing monkeys to make her think she could escape, but the ultimate goal was to let her know what it was There is no way to go, what is the pain of despair.
You can't live, you can't die.
This kind of despair is more terrifying than any torture she has suffered day and night in the past three years. Each of them told Xu Jiaru over and over again with numbness, ridicule, disdain and pity—you can’t escape, you can only Day after day, year after year, this never-ending torture is like a cruel punishment like purgatory on earth.
Xu Jiaru became numb. She accepted her destiny and looked forward to death. The harder she was beaten and the more painful it was, the happier she was in her heart. For her, death was not a fear, but a relief.
At this time, due to the rapid and rapid development of the country, under the planning of the government in Zhao Village, the TV set that people in the villages were longing for was finally installed. People, even Zhao Tiancheng, who has always had a high self-esteem, could not take his eyes off him. He began to fantasize about the colorful world outside the village day and night. Finally, under the guidance of a program called "The Hills Entering the City", Zhao Tiancheng resolutely decided to do so. On the way into the city.
Zhao Tiansheng is considered one of the best people in their village. In addition, he is too poisoned by the TV series "The Little Mountain Enters the City". With his arrogance and arrogance, he doesn't care about the low-wage labor and hard work. , However, the young talents in the city are countless, and everyone does not know how much better than him. Of course, Zhao Tiansheng was rejected by all companies mercilessly.
Zhao Tiancheng does have the capital to be proud of. Although he is not as good as the people in the city in terms of education and knowledge, he is smart, has a clear understanding, and knows what he wants. Under the successive blows, he not only did not collapse, but began to observe the people and things around him, use the Internet to find information, learn independently, and broaden his horizons.
Driven by desire/desire, Zhao Tiansheng kept enriching himself day and night. He quickly made up for his shortcomings. This time, he submitted his resume again with full confidence. Outside the company, he was unwilling but had no choice, so he had to go to the Internet cafe by himself to borrow a drink to relieve his worries. Half-drunk and half-awake, there was a group of men laughing behind him. Zhao Tiansheng was already irritable, and the drink rushed to his forehead. Roaring, grabbed the wine glass and threw it at the group of people.
The result is obvious, although Zhao Tiansheng has been doing farm work all the year round and has a strong body, but these sons and brothers are surrounded by bodyguards. Seeing that the master is being bullied, the swarms rushed towards him and beat him.
People say that Sai Weng lost his horse, how can we know that it is not a blessing.
Zhao Tiansheng beat his nose and face bruised. He bought medicine and wiped it at home when his phone rang, informing him to come to Gu's company for an interview tomorrow.
He hung up the phone half happy and half puzzled. He really couldn't understand why a large company like Gu's ranking in the whole country actually passed the resume that he cast widely.
The next day, he went to Gu's company and asked the administrative assistant. Only then did he know that he had saved Gu's daughter Gu Shanshan by mistake at the bar the night before.
After Gu Shanshan returned home, she immediately asked people to inquire about the news about her own people. After knowing Zhao Tiansheng's recent troubles, in order to thank him, she opened the back door for him and directly arranged Zhao Tiansheng to enter her own company.
She originally did it easily, and didn't have much expectations for Zhao Tiancheng, who only had a high school degree, but she didn't want Zhao Tiancheng to be so powerful, but just gave him a chance, but he relied on his own good ability and vision, and quickly sat down The position of the divisional general manager.
Gu Shanshan certainly won't miss such a capable person who has a relationship with her.
Gu Shanshan also has a brother who is two years older than her, but she and this brother have been at odds with each other since they were young.
After growing up, both of them entered their own company, but Gu Shanshan's business ability is not good, and because she is a woman who is not valued by others, she still has a brother who is excellent in every aspect, so no matter how hard she tries, it will not work in the end. She was a good-sounding idler in the company, but her own brother Gu Yuanchen was the first person under Gu's father.
The relationship between the two is so bad, of course, Gu Yuanchen will not benefit Gu Shanshan if she takes over the company in the future. She is looking for talents recently, and secretly establishes relationships with the company's shareholders, distant relatives and others, but it is still far from enough. She was so anxious that Zhao Tiancheng appeared, and it was God who helped her.
Gu Shanshan quickly transferred Zhao Tiansheng to her side. After a detailed discussion between the two, Zhao Tiansheng agreed to help Gu Shanshan. Since then, the two have been inseparable, coming in and out together.
Zhao Tiancheng is not a good person, his methods are full of intrigue, and it is a very insidious and cunning method. Of course, Gu Yuanchen, who has always been upright and upright, has been calculated many times.
The two had already developed different feelings in the battle of wits and courage with Gu Yuanchen. Zhao Tiansheng expressed his love to Gu Shanshan when he took over half of the rights, and Gu Shanshan agreed without hesitation.
After dating for half a year, Gu Shanshan took Zhao Tiansheng home and introduced him to Gu's father and Gu's mother. Although they knew that he was born in a rural area and his family was poor, they didn't care. Besides, Zhao Tiansheng's personal ability was excellent, and he and his daughter loved each other. He readily agreed to the marriage of the two.
Of course, the wedding of the daughter of the Gu family must be very grand. In order not to embarrass his relatives, Zhao Tiansheng picked up the people early and planned to give them emergency training with the assistance of the housekeeper arranged by Gu Shanshan.
Although Gu Shanshan doesn't look down on her fiance's family, she still knows how to do things for face, so shortly after Zhao Tiancheng's family came, she came to visit with some gifts. Who knew that this would be the beginning of Xu Jiaru's nightmare.
This is all because when the Zhao family was chatting with Gu Shanshan, Zhao's mother was quick-tempered and accidentally said that Zhao Tiansheng had a woman and a child in her hometown. Gu Shanshan was shocked, but her face did not show the slightest, and she arranged it immediately after returning home. People go to find out the news.
After receiving the photos and information of Xu Jiaru and the child sent by the spy in the mailbox, the jealous Gu Shanshan was very angry, and threw the phone on the ground with a bang. one place.
Gu Shanshan's nurse heard the movement in the room and hurried upstairs to check what was going on. She hugged Gu Shanshan distressedly and comforted her and asked what was going on. What caught her eye was a photo that almost scared her to death.
But she quickly made up her mind, looking at Gu Shanshan, who was crying with red eyes, the nurse was ruthless and had an idea.
Xu Jia, who was far away in the mountains, was suffocating like a life without love. That night, a group of strangers came quietly into her house, knocked her unconscious and took her away. In a drowsy state, she heard many Many people are talking, talking about a place that she will never forget - the gray area.
When she woke up, she found herself in a small but empty room, her hands and feet were tightly bound by python's thick hemp rope, and in front of her stood two masked men with two pairs of indifferent dark eyes Staring at her like a poisonous snake, a bad premonition surged in her heart, and she licked her dry lips and asked where this was and who they were.
Welcome to the gray area, and congratulations on being a low-level slave, he said.
At the time, she didn't know what it meant, until she was beaten, ironed, bloodletted, flesh cut, hair pulled, shaved by men and women wearing various masks one after another...
Only then did she know that the so-called slaves were just tools for these noble people to vent their emotions.
There are all kinds of strange ways to torture people here. All kinds of equipment are available. Guests can play whatever they want, and it doesn’t matter if they are killed, because as long as they enter the gray area and become slaves, it means that this person has disappeared from the world without a trace.
And the gray area has only one purpose from beginning to end - the rich and powerful are the uncle, choose one of the two.
Xu Jiaru was in so much pain that life would be worse than death in such a day.
She wanted to die, but these people always sent someone to heal and recuperate after she was tortured; when she was on a hunger strike, they squeezed her chin hard, pried her teeth apart, and fed her little by little; Resisting and crying, trying to make them unbearable and kill themselves, but these are just cockroaches shaking trees, they don't take it seriously at all...
If she can't die, why can't she die? Xu Jiaru asks herself time and time again, why she can't die when it's so easy to die!
Finally, when her spirit was about to collapse, a noble and elegant masked woman was ushered in the house where she was imprisoned. She was wearing luxurious clothes and expensive and dazzling jewelry, and she was not as angry as the previous guests. Annoyed, not like they grabbed the whip and took her breath away, the woman just stood there quietly, a pair of beautiful eyes looking down at her coldly through the mask, like looking at a dirty corpse/body .
Xu Jiaru raised her eyes to look at the noble and pure godlike woman, her expression was lonely and ashamed, the sadness in her heart swept through her whole body in an instant, she shrank and tried to pull the broken clothes on her body to cover herself, but she was just thinking about it. The tightly bound hands and feet couldn't move at all.
After a long time, a woman's soft voice came from above her head: "Xu Jiaru, it's really your fate to meet me. All the pain you suffered was caused by me."
Xu Jiaru looked at her in shock, hesitating with something in his mouth.
The woman smiled and said, "But you are my lucky star. In order to thank you, I will help you free yourself. I hope you will never meet me again in your next life. Remember, my name is Gu Shanshan, Zhao Tiancheng's wife."
She waved her hand, and a man walked up behind her. With a flash of silver light, Xu Jiaru's throat was slit...
