I didn’t expect Mu Chen would call me the next afternoon. He asked me over the phone to take Duo to a place to identify those men. Then he sent me an address.
I told Duo about this phone call, and Duo hesitated. I knew she was worried that more people would get to know this and she would be affected adversely. I found a big mask and a sun hat for her to put on, which completely blocking her face, after that I took her out.
The address Mu sent me was in the basement of a large bar in the city center. When I arrived, I was stopped outside the door. I gave them my name, but I wasn’t allowed to enter until I got the consent of the people inside.
The basement was not dim. Several beams of light shone from different angles, which was as bright as the daytime. Five middle-aged men were tied to their hands and feet and knelt on the ground.
Mu Chen sat in the corner, next to a small round table with a pot of green tea on it. Mu was holding a thick book in his hands.
When he saw me, he stood up, walked over, and nodded to me, “These people have all committed some crimes that day. Please find out if those men who insult you are among them. If not, I will continue to find them.”
I looked at Duo, and I saw that she had rushed to one of the men, crying and kicking the man with her feet.
Judging from Duo’s behavior, I knew the man must be one of those who insulted her.
I asked Duo, Duo pointed out three of the men, saying they were the ones who raped her, she said she could recognize them even if they were burnt into ashes.
Mu Chen squatted down and looked at one of the men, who even scolded Mu Chen, “Who the hell are you? Why did you tie me here?”
Mu Chen was not in a hurry, still spoke softly, “Do you have wife? Do you have children?”
The migrant worker looked stunned for a while, “Of course, what business is that of yours?”
“Since you have wife and children, why would you do something like that? If your wife and daughter are humiliated, wouldn’t you feel a lot of pain?” Mu Chen asked lightly.
“I do like it, that little girl was so tender and slutty, it’s a pity to not have sex with her. Isn’t it?” The man was still grinning.
Mu Chen shook his head and sighed, “You are beyond help.”
Then he waved his hand. Two men stood next to him walked over and each of them was dragging one leg of the migrant worker to the opposite directions. Another man handed a baseball bat to Mu.
I probably already understood what Mu Chen was going to do.
Mu slowly put on his white gloves, raised his baseball bat, and smashed the migrant worker on that thing exposed between his legs.
Every blow was in the deadly place, and that migrant worker was howling like a pig. Mu Chen hit him one by one, his face was emotionless and his eyes were calm. He seemed like doing a common thing.
Despite the pants outside that man’s body, there was blood oozing out. Presumably, the things inside were already fragmented. If he ever tried to do anything like rape, it would be impossible, because he no longer has that ability.
I stood by as if I could feel his pain.
After the first man passed out, Mu Chen punished the second migrant worker in the same way, and then the third. When the third one passed out, the first one had not yet woken up.
Mu Chen was like a cold-blooded executioner, with no emotional changes throughout. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would never believe that a gentleman like him could do such a ruthless thing.
Of course, those scumbags deserved it, but Mu Chen’s fierceness really surprised me. I couldn’t imagine a person who looks like a university teacher has such a side in his character.
I knew since he could be a rival to Leon Hua, he was definitely not a weak person. Now it seems that his fierceness was just as bad or worse than Leon’s. People are really multi-faceted, now I’ve seen it.
Mu Chen took off his white gloves, and the person next to him brought a basin with fresh water in it. Mu spread his palms. Someone squeezed the hand sanitizer gently on his hand. He rubbed it slowly, and then put his slender hand in the basin to wash it. His movement of washing his hands had a strong sense of ritual.
After washing his hands, he was handed over a towel. He wiped his hands clean, then he straightened his collar of the black shirt and smiled at me. “Did I scare you?”
Frankly speaking, I was actually a little scared. This was the first time I have seen such a scene.
I shook my head gently. “No. Thank you for helping us to revenge.”
“I’m not a messenger of justice. I just did this for you, because after I did things for you, you have to pay me back. Do you still remember the agreement between us?” Mu Chen said lightly.
Of course I remember that he asked me to give Ying Hua the medicine for headaches in private, and I was required not to say where the medicine was from. I have been hesitating whether to agree his request.
But I still nodded. I was actually a little afraid of Mu. I was worried that I would provoke him if I don’t keep the promise.
“Please. If you have any problems in the future, you can contact me at any time. We are friends.” Mu Chen finished, turning his head to the people under his command. “Drag them out and throw them away. They’ll find out ways to survive. They won’t be dead easily.”
After going out of the basement, Duo looked so relieved. She thanked me a lot for asking someone to help her avenge . I asked her when she would go back to work for Leon. But she said that after this accident, she didn’t want to go back again. She just wanted to go back to her hometown before looking for another job.
I gave her thousands of dollars in my wallet, and then sent her to the bus station. I didn’t leave until I watched her getting on the bus.
On the bus way back home, my phone rang , it was Leon.
I hung up directly. I was very disappointed with this man. I didn’t want to talk to him.
He didn’t call again, but after a while, Xuanlong Jiang’s call came again. I was worried that they called me something related to my child. Besides, it seemed rude to not answer Xuanlong’s phone, so I had to pick up the phone.
“Where are you now? Fourth Brother asked me to pick you up.” Xuanlong said.
Xuanlong Jiang was different from other servants of Leon. His relationship with Leon was not like the relationship between the master and servant, but more like brothers. That’s why he never calls me “Mrs. Hua” like other servants, he just says ‘you’. But the way he calls me made me feel better, it was more friend-like. After all, I didn’t even want to the wife of Leon Hua.
“What’s up, Xuanlong?” I asked.
“Fourth Brother asked me to pick you up.” He just repeated his words without explaining.
“I don’t want to see him.” I said straight.
“If you have something to say to Fourth Brother , just talk to him in person, he asked me to pick you up.” Xuanlong said.
His meaning was very clear. His mission was just picking me up. As for things happened between me and Leon, it has nothing to do with him. He needs to accomplish what Leon Hua had told him to do.
I also didn’t want to embarrass Xuanlong. So I said, “Okay, where was Leon? I’ll take a taxi by myself.”
He told me Leon was in the Maple Villa.
I hurried there, but Leon was not there. Sister Zhen gave me a set of clothes and said it was Mr. Hua said that a lady was going to hold a birthday party today. I will accompany Leon to the “White House” for a feast this afternoon. So I need to make some preparations.
I asked which lady she was. She said it was Xiang Feng.
