After obtaining the whistleblower letter,

Lin Fei began her secret investigation.

She pulled several case files pertaining to Xie Liang's acts of valor and also started to check up on the people around him.

This check led to a surprise discovery.

Two months before his heroic deed, Xie Liang actually couldn't swim.

He found a private instructor at a swimming pool.

And diligently practiced swimming techniques for a month.

Not long after, the act of valor occurred.

In Lin Fei's view, such a coincidence surely had hidden motives behind it.

It was around this time that Guo Wensheng and others noticed her investigation; as a result, Guo Wensheng even specifically warned her to focus on her own work and not to get involved in matters that didn't concern her.

It was precisely because of this warning that she became even more certain there were underhand dealings behind this matter.

She was very clear.

If she conducted the investigation openly, she would undoubtedly face obstruction.

So, she took sick leave for a day under the pretense of illness.

She knew the new director would take office yesterday.

By then, Guo Wensheng and the others would be busy with reception duties and wouldn't spare a thought to consider what she was up to.

She took this opportunity to rush to Baishui Village in Dashi Town.

"What happened next?"

Chen Fang asked.

Lin Fei looked again at Tian Xinran and said, "This woman, she helped that beast capture me, and then she locked me in the room next door until you came."

The course of events was actually not complicated.

Chen Fang turned his gaze to Sun Congjun, who was glaring furiously at them.

He said, "Now it's your turn. Tell us, who made you do this?"

Sun Congjun wore a defiant look,

Not uttering a single word.

Chen Fang nodded slightly, suddenly grabbed a small wooden stool from the side, and smashed it down onto Sun Congjun's knee. With a crack, Sun Congjun's face turned ghostly pale, and he gasped for air but couldn't let out a scream.

This action also terrified the two women present.

"You're still not talking? No worries, it's not dawn yet, we have plenty of time to play."

As soon as Chen Fang's words fell,

Sun Congjun grit his teeth and said, "If you have the guts, just kill me."

"Kill you? Are you joking? Why would I want to kill you? But I can absolutely make you wish you were dead,"

With that,

Chen Fang stood up.

He turned to Tian Xinran and asked, "This man, he has been raping you regularly, hasn't he?"

Tian Xinran had a natural fear of Sun Congjun and dared not answer.

Chen Fang smiled faintly.

He suddenly lifted his foot and ferociously kicked toward Sun Congjun's groin.

With this blow,

Sun Congjun didn't not scream because he didn't want to, he literally couldn't get the scream out. His face grew even paler, and his body convulsed nonstop.

Tian Xinran's indifferent face began to show faint signs of agitation.

"Still not talking? Fine, I'll continue."

Chen Fang lifted his foot again and kicked down another time.

This time, Sun Congjun nearly fainted, foam forming at the corners of his mouth.

"Let me do it!"

Suddenly, Tian Xinran leaped up from the bed.

She didn't care that she might be naked,

And lunged at Sun Congmin, scratching and clawing at him like mad.

She kept cursing, "Beast! Beast! Beast!"

It seemed that these were the only words she could think of.

Neither Chen Fang nor Lin Fei intervened.

Finally, Tian Xinran tired herself out.

She collapsed onto the ground, covering her face, and started to sob.

Lin Fei helped her up from the ground.

He put her loose clothes back on her.

Tian Xinran could no longer hold back, and threw herself into Lin Fei's shoulders, weeping bitterly.

"It's alright, it's alright, you're safe now,"

Lin Fei said, patting her back.

It was hard to tell how long she cried.

Tian Xinran wiped away her tears.

She said, "I'll tell you the truth. The story about Xie Liang saving me, it's indeed false..."

Tian Xinran's story was much, much longer than Lin Fei's.

In her twenty-third year.

Tian Xinran married Sun Congmin.

The reason she chose this man was that Sun Congjun was down-to-earth, could endure hardship, and most importantly, he was extremely caring towards her.

The first year she had married into the Sun family.

Actually, Tian Xinran was quite happy.

But that happiness didn't last very long.

To give Tian Xinran a better life, Sun Congmin decided to go work in the city.

It was on a certain night in the first month after Sun Congmin left home.

Tian Xinran was sleeping in her room.

Suddenly, a robust body pressed down on hers.

She was startled awake.

Just as she was about to scream for help,

a rough hand covered her mouth.

"Don't scream, or I'll kill you."

This voice was all too familiar to her; it belonged to none other than Sun Congjun, who lived in the courtyard next door.

Sun Congmin was raised by Sun Congmin.

In order to bring him up.

Sun Congjun had even given up on getting married.

Usually, Sun Congjun lived off farming and hunting, quiet and down-to-earth; as his sister-in-law, Tian Xinran had a favorable impression of him, often bringing him food she made. In her first year at the Sun family, this elder brother seldom visited her home. She never expected that tonight, not only would he come, but he would also make his move.

Sun Congjun was incredibly strong.

Tian Xinran couldn't resist at all.

Just like that, her trousers were torn off.

Sun Congjun forced himself into her.

After he had finished.

Sun Congjun told Tian Xinran that since he had raised the younger brother Sun Congmin, his wife was his wife too; if she dared tell Sun Congmin, he would claim that Tian Xinran, out of loneliness, had deliberately seduced him, and he was sure Sun Congmin would believe it.

Indeed.

Sun Congmin was very kind to his elder brother.

He was compliant with his words.

At this point,

Lin Fei asked, "Is that why you never told your husband?"

Tian Xinran nodded and said, "This is a rural area. If things really spread as he said they would, not only would I lose face, but so would my family. I didn't dare say anything. If by then Ah Min didn't want me, then I truly would have no one left, wuwuwu..."

After saying this,

she started to sob again.

With a choked-up voice, she continued.

Since that incident,

Sun Congjun became more and more brazen.

Almost every night he would make his way to her bed, not sparing her even during her menstrual period.

Sometimes, he would climb over the wall during broad daylight and pin her down anywhere he could to abuse her. The worst time was when he got his brother, who had come home for a rare visit, drunk. Next to Sun Congmin, who was sleeping like a dead pig, he raped Tian Xinran right there.

That time.

Tian Xinran didn't dare scream or even make a sound.

Her own husband was right in front of her.

And behind her, this beast of a big brother was vigorously thrusting; every time she recalled this scene, Tian Xinran's heart would ache a bit more.

"All these years, I've been pregnant many times, but each time I found out, I aborted the child. Everyone thought that Ah Min's job as a painter had damaged his body, but only I knew that it was because I didn't want to bear this beast's child..."

Tian Xinran said.
