The video that Gu Qing had subconsciously scrolled past came back rapidly.
"I'm not a mistress, please call the police for me......"
"Pfft! Every mistress claims she's not one. Do you dare to admit that you're ruining a family after being exposed? Now you're lying about being deceived by a mistress to gain sympathy? So shameless!"
In that second!
Gu Qing's mind went completely blank!
Her sister's face was clearly reflected in the video, her pleading words asking for the police, the accusations and curses from the crowd around her.......
"Bang!"
Gu Sang had a completely powerless look as a few people half-carried, half-dragged her into a van.
As the door closed, the bystanders were still filming coldly, mocking her. No one called the police for her, and some even cursed that she deserved it.
Gu Sang!
How could this be.......
Gu Qing's hands trembled, and fear, worry, and tears suddenly burst forth like a breached flood.
"Dad! Mom! It's terrible!"
"Gu Sang, waaahh......Gu Sang has been taken away, mistaken for a mistress!"
Gu Qing's legs shook as she rushed out of the room, banging loudly on her parents' door with forceful knocks.
It was as if once the door opened, she could snatch Gu Sang back from the woman's clutches.
The door opened, and Gu's mother stood there in her pajamas.
"Qing, what's this about a mistress being taken away?"
"You just said something happened to your sister? Don't cry first, tell me slowly." Gu's mother was sleepy and had not yet realized the severity of the situation.
Gu Qing quickly opened the video and showed it to her mother: "Mom! Look, she's been slandered as a mistress and taken away."
"She said that group came prepared, they're human traffickers. This, this must just be an excuse for her to ask for help, right?"
"What should we do?"
"Waaahh......Wasn't she still strong when she came to rescue me on horseback? How could she not even break free from these scammers?"
Gu's mother's eyes widened as she watched the entire video, her head buzzing loudly.
The surrounding bystanders did nothing to help, but they didn't ask for the reason either. Instead, they scolded and accused Gu Sang, shouting for her to be beaten to death.
The comment pop-ups cursed the mistress to die, one word at a time.
Each message made Gu's mother tremble with anger.
Gu's mother shook her head trembling: "Although Sang is poor, she has dignity and self-respect. How could she possibly become a mistress for money?"
"Years ago, to avoid disturbing her and her grandmother's life, she gritted her teeth and paid back all the tuition fees the Gu family had paid for her. I know her, this is absolutely a mistake!"
"Qing, don't cry! I'll call your father right away."
Gu Qing angrily stamped her feet while tearfully cursing her mother.
Seeing her mother hurry back to the room to make a call.
Gu Qing took out her phone and started commenting under the video, explaining one by one that the woman in the video was being slandered.
Gu Qing: "You don't understand anything and just jump on the hate bandwagon! Don't judge rashly without knowing the full story, she's not a mistress!"
"She would never become a mistress for money!"
Dabao: "Look, here's a mistress getting defensive. Anyone who can empathize with a mistress is no good either. You must be a mistress too, bitch."
Lone Warrior: "Aren't you women the most materialistic and realistic? You even demand a bride price when getting married, selling yourselves. Of course you'd become a mistress for money! What good are you? Slut!"
Second Lord's Little Darling Wife: "How much does your sister charge per night? That's why you're so eager to defend that shameless mistress!"
"......"
Waves of insults poured down on Gu Qing.
Those comments were like knives coated with poison, each one leaving her for dead.
The more Gu Qing tried to explain, the more frantic she became. Eventually, no matter how fast she typed, her feeble responses were drowned out by the thousands of people.
Meanwhile;
After finishing her call with Gu's father, Gu's mother also realized that Gu Sang might have been abducted and deceived.
She immediately called the police.
Although Gu's mother didn't have deep feelings for Gu Sang, they were still related by blood, so she was naturally worried: "Hello, I need to report a case. My daughter Gu Sang may have been kidnapped by human traffickers......"
Human traffickers?!
Yes, it's true!
It wasn't just an excuse for Gu Sang to ask for help?
Gu Qing felt her heart stop!
She had watched a video earlier that day about how deception methods are becoming more and more vicious nowadays.
At the time, she had sneered at such warnings, thinking that with cameras everywhere, who would dare to do such a stupid thing?
Moreover, if someone was dragged away, they would surely scream and shout for help, and someone would come to their aid.
That's what she had thought!
That's really what she had thought!
But reality was far worse than she had imagined!
She was just trying to help her sister tell the truth, but so many netizens cursed her along with her sister, calling her and her ancestors shameless bitches for eighteen generations!
"Qing, where are you going?"
"It's so late, can't this wait until tomorrow?"
As Gu's mother was on the phone, she saw Gu Qing hurriedly run back to her room.
A minute later.
Gu Qing changed out of her pajamas, grabbed her phone and bag, and rushed out with an anxious look.
"Mom! I can't wait. She's so timid, she must be terrified in this situation."
"I'm going to the police station. The police station must have some leads!"
"Tell dad to pull some strings and find channels. Official investigations take time, and time is exactly what Gu Sang can't afford in this situation!"
-
"Eat up!"
The woman brought a stainless steel bowl and opened the damp wooden door, placing the food by Gu Sang's feet.
To prevent Gu Sang from having the strength to escape, the woman had not given her any food or water all day. This was her first meal.
The bowl contained only a small amount of pumpkin, along with some greenish-blackish leftovers of vegetables, and half a bowl of soup with rice.
Not even chopsticks were provided, just two twigs.
Without any airs, Gu Sang could adapt to any environment. Under the woman's cold gaze, she picked up the bowl and started eating.
Seeing Gu Sang's down-to-earth attitude.
The woman sneered with her hands on her hips: "I thought you had more backbone. Still being arrogant? You shameless bitch!"
"So what if you're a city girl? Here, you'll have to eat even pig food."
"Women like you shouldn't be spoiled. Let you starve for a couple more days, and you'll be begging to get married early."
The woman glared a warning at Gu Sang.
She had intended to discipline Gu Sang, beat her up a few times so she would be more obedient. But Gu Sang did not cry or make a fuss like the other abducted city girls.
It was unclear whether she had truly resigned herself or was still looking for an opportunity to escape.
After taking only the iron bowl, the woman locked the door again.
The voices of a man and a woman conversing came from outside the door.
Woman: "You stay home and keep a close watch on her. Don't give her any food today. This wretched wench has a lot of strength, so be extra careful."
"Just give her one meal a day, don't let her starve to death."
"I'm going with your brother to Old Wang's Family. This wench is far prettier than your sister. This time we'll definitely be able to sell her for a good price. Maybe we'll even have enough for you to take a wife!"
Upon hearing these words, the excited younger brother urged repeatedly, "Good, then you two go quickly, Mother. Remember to bargain for a higher price."
