Chapter 160: Deep Waters
Chapter 160: Deep Waters
After some time, the two women cleaned themselves with water and put on some of the men's clothes they found.
Jiang Cheng soon understood the situation after hearing their story.
It was as he had suspected.
These two women were also deceived by a woman named Zhang Hong. Upon reaching their destination, they were knocked unconscious.
When one of them regained consciousness, she found herself in a basement. Her pleas, threats, and curses only resulted in a severe beating, to no avail.
Later, another woman arrived, and as the days passed, the two became numb to their situation until they heard activity outside, realizing it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"Benefactor, we are at a loss for how to repay your kindness. Please leave us your address, and when we return, we will explain the situation to our families. Even if we have to sell everything, we will repay you," one of the women tearfully expressed her gratitude.
"Yes, Benefactor, without you, we would never have escaped those two demons. By killing them, you have avenged us," the other woman added.
The second woman glared at the two corpses on the ground, wishing to skin them alive.
"No need for formalities," Jiang Cheng waved his hand dismissively. "It was a small effort on my part. After leaving here, what are your plans?"
The two women exchanged glances.
"I haven't been home in almost two years, and I have no idea how my parents are doing now," one of them said.
"I haven't been home for over a year. I shouldn't have disobeyed my parents and followed that Zhang person. That's right!"
She recalled something and clenched her teeth, "When I return, I will file a report. That Zhang woman, I will make her pay for what she did to me. I swear I won't rest until I do!"
"I will do the same!"
The two women's eyes shone with deep-seated hatred.
"It's not that you can't report it, but I suggest you don't," Jiang Cheng suddenly said.
"Why?"
Both women widened their eyes in unison.
"This matter is far more complicated than you imagine," Jiang Cheng sighed lightly.
"Do you know where your other companions were taken?"
Both women shook their heads.
"The Oaken Club, one of the largest clubs in the Outer District, is where that woman's son works as a manager. I suspect he has some connections, and reporting to the Law Enforcement Bureau might not be effective."
Hearing this, the two women's faces changed.
They were from ordinary families and knew they couldn't compete with such people.
"I suspect this isn't an isolated incident in this area. Similar situations might exist in other places. The waters here are deep, and even I can't afford to get involved," Jiang Cheng added.
"Benefactor, I... we won't report it," one of them said, scared.
"Yes, we won't report it, we won't," the other woman agreed, her face also turning pale.
"I'm just giving you a suggestion. The decision is yours to make," Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"Let's leave it at that. Oh, and here's the money I found on them. Take it," he placed a few hundred dollars in front of them.
"Benefactor, this..."
The two women were so touched they couldn't speak.
"Alright, let's go. Be more careful from now on and don't fall for such traps easily," Jiang Cheng waved his hand again.
"We will be careful."
"Benefactor, if you're ever free, please come to my home on Bai Tian Road, Number 13," one of the women said.
"Benefactor, my home is at Xi Hua Yuan Building 5, Unit 502. Please come if you have time," the other woman added her address.
After sharing their addresses, they each took some money and prepared to leave.
"Wait a moment," Jiang Cheng said, offering a reminder. "On your way back, try to avoid being seen by too many people. And after returning, it's best to find a place to hide first and ask your families not to spread the word."
"Stay low-key and even hide?"
The two women looked confused.
They wanted to shout to their families from eight hundred meters away.
Yet, the benefactor was asking them to keep quiet and even have their families do the same?
After this, some things might happen. If you stay at home, there might be trouble. It's best to hide first. Besides your family, don't let anyone know you're back, and don't let them know where you're hiding. Remember, don't take it lightly!"
"Okay, okay."
The two women still seemed a bit dazed.
Jiang Cheng watched as the two of them walked out onto the street.
His eyes flashed with a cold light.
The incident he mentioned was, of course, about going after Zhang Hong.
Those two men were merely pawns.
Zhang Hong was the mastermind behind the scenes.
If he let her go, she would likely go after Mrs. Chen and the others again in a couple of days. If she still couldn't deceive them, he might have to use some force.
At that time, she would definitely find out that something happened to those two men. Once she's on her guard, it would be more difficult to take action.
So, it's best to act now.
But if he killed her, her brother would surely seek revenge. He would search everywhere for him.
If he handled this cleanly, he wouldn't be exposed, but if those two women went back and caused a scene, it might spread to others, and they might get implicated and face trouble.
But if he was too obvious, what if it leaked out?
He hoped they would take it seriously.
The next moment, he walked towards the main street.
Before killing the brothers, he had asked about Zhang Hong's address and the places she frequently visited.
According to the brothers, Zhang Hong was most likely at an urban beauty salon called 'Urban Beauty Salon', and she would usually stay there for two to three hours.
Since that was the case, he decided to wait nearby.
This kind of scum must be eradicated!
...
Urban Beauty Salon.
After a facial treatment that lasted over an hour, Zhang Hong admired herself in the mirror, unconsciously posing and becoming immersed in her own beauty.
"Oh dear, Sister Zhang, you're looking younger and younger." A woman in her early twenties, dressed like a nurse, smiled at her.
"It's true, she doesn't look like she's 40 at all. She looks more like 18, even younger than me." Another woman, dressed similarly, agreed.
"You two, all you know is how to flatter me." Zhang Hong glared at them, but a smile tugged at her lips.
"Oh, Sister Zhang, look at what you're saying. We're telling the truth. Right, Sister Zhang? We're just being honest." The woman on the left winked at her companion.
"Yes, yes, Sister Zhang, you're hurting our feelings with those words." The woman on the right pouted.
"You two..."
Zhang Hong couldn't stop smiling.
She also felt that she looked very young.
Even if she couldn't compare to these two young women, she shouldn't be too far off.
Seeing this, the woman on the left took a small step forward and whispered, "Sister Zhang, our salon just received a new batch of whitening serum yesterday. This batch is extraordinary. Since you're a regular customer, I specifically kept a few for you. Do you want to try it?"
"How extraordinary is it?" Zhang Hong asked curiously.
"This batch of whitening serum was procured by our boss at a high price from the inner district. It's said that the wealthy ladies in the city are all using it. With just one injection, you'll look ten years younger!"
"Really?"
Zhang Hong's mouth hung open. She already looked young enough. If she used this serum, wouldn't she turn back into a child?
"Sister Zhang, when have we ever lied to you? It's an advanced product, not even available on our planet. It was specially transported from other planets."
"!"
Zhang Hong froze, then nodded vigorously.
"I want it, I want it all! Give me every last one!"
"Don't worry, Sister Zhang, I kept them for you, but..."
The woman on the left hesitated.
"What is it? Spit it out, why beat around the bush?" Zhang Hong's face turned displeased.
"Yes, yes, Sister Zhang, I told you before, it's an advanced product. The wealthy ladies in the inner district are all fighting to buy it. So, the price, the price is a bit high."
