405: The Chuxiong couple were deserted by their friends and family and were completely desperate!

Inside the detention center, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong, in order to escape imprisonment, knelt before Chu Ling without hesitation, crying and repenting profusely...

"Xiao Ling, only you can save us now! We're sorry, our parenting methods were wrong before!"

"But you have to believe, we hit you for your own good! Look how well-behaved and sensible you are now, thanks to our guidance?!"

"Especially compared to that ungrateful beast Tang Rou, you've grown into a kind little angel~~~"

"We raised you for so many years, so just let bygones be bygones. Give us a chance to turn over a new leaf, okay?"

"From now on, we will definitely treat you as our true biological daughter. As for that rebellious daughter Tang Rou, we don't need her!!!"

"We finally see clearly, only you are our precious daughter! Xiao Ling! Please believe, Daddy and Mommy love you."

"..."

Listening to her biological parents' various insults towards her, Tang Rou's mouth twitched, her face turned extremely dark, and she felt an inexplicable discomfort in her heart.

Chu Ling, on the other hand, stood in place, aloof, with a cold expression from beginning to end.

Her eyes were as deep and cold as a winter pond, without a trace of warmth.

These 'parents' who, in her memory, had always been arrogant and cruel, now knelt at her feet like two dogs wagging their tails, begging for mercy, repenting with snot and tears.

Chu Ling had fantasized about such a scene countless times in her dreams, but when it actually happened, all she felt was a cold sneer.

"Listen to the things you're saying, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Chu Ling's body trembled slightly, not from anger or sadness, but from the surge of vengeful pleasure deep within her.

At the same time, she found it extremely absurd and ironic.

Every word from Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong was like a slap in their own faces.

Their past abusive behavior was now being whitewashed as their so-called "parenting methods"?!

And they still had the nerve to shamelessly ask for her forgiveness???

Hehe... This is truly something an uncle could tolerate, but even an aunt couldn't!!!

A mocking smile played on Chu Ling's lips. She bent slightly, bringing her face close to Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong's, meeting their gaze.

There was no pity in her eyes, only cold hardness and resolve.

Her voice was sharp and firm, every word like an ice pick, piercing directly into the couple's hearts.

"Didn't expect this, did you? You have your day too!"

"Now that it's come to this! Don't you think it's too late to say all this?"

"You think... if you kneel and beg me now, and say 'I'm sorry,' I can forgive your past actions?"

"Absolutely ridiculous!!!"

"As long as I can remember, the only memories you left me with were beatings and scoldings. I had endless chores every day, never enough food, and if I didn't please you even slightly, all I got were punches and kicks."

"You still have the nerve to say you raised me for eighteen years? You tormented me for eighteen years, that's what!"

"Before, I could never understand why other people's parents were so wholeheartedly good to their children. But you two were so unusually different..."

"This confusion plagued me for over a decade, until recently, when it finally dawned on me!!!"

"It turns out I'm not your biological daughter! That's why, in your eyes, my life was cheaper than grass!"

"..."

Chu Ling vented all the words she had wanted to say for so long, letting them pour out.

After speaking, she felt a significant amount of the resentment that had accumulated in her chest for many years dissipate, and an unprecedented sense of satisfaction welled up in her heart.

Shaking her head in self-mockery, Chu Ling stood up, looked down at the trembling Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong, and left a sentence echoing in the air:

"I will not forgive you, never."

Immediately, Chu Ling turned and walked away, head held high, steps firm, without a trace of lingering attachment.

No matter how her former 'parents' begged and cried behind her... Chu Ling's steps did not falter.

She felt as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, her heart filled with an unprecedented sense of joy and fulfillment.

She knew that those past shadows would forever be under her feet.

She knew that from this moment on, she was truly free... "Hahaha... Good, good, good! Truly my precious daughter! Decisive and without any hesitation!"

"As for you two beasts, good luck with that~~~"

"If there are no surprises, this will be the last time we see each other in this life."

"..."

Tang Guoan and his wife exchanged glances, laughed heartily, and left the detention center hand in hand.

As for Tang Rou... she couldn't even be bothered to look her biological parents in the eye, turning her head coldly to follow the Tang couple.

Behind them, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong's bodies stiffened, completely despairing!!!!!

After an unknown amount of time, Tao Yan, coming back to her senses, turned with a tear-streaked face and nudged the dazed Chu Xiong's arm with her elbow, saying:

"Husband, what do we do now? Woo woo woo... I don't want to go to jail (꒦_꒦)..."

Listening to her mournful wails, as unpleasant as those of a dead person, Chu Xiong grew impatient and gave her a hard slap.

Slap! Slap! Slap!!!!!

"Cry, cry, cry! All you do is cry all day! Useless! Shut up!!!"

Under his 'generous' slap, Tao Yan finally stopped her crying for a while, only daring to sob quietly...

"It's not over yet. As long as the sentence hasn't come down, we still have hope..."

"Justice exists in this world! Magic City is so big, I don't believe the Tang Family can cover the sky with one hand!!!!"

"It's not a big problem, don't panic! We still have hope! Because the villagers will definitely find ways to save us."

"That's right! Our Chu Family Village has always been united and friendly, with one heart and one mind! When one is in trouble, all come to help!!!"

"The clan rules state that in daily life, if there are conflicts among villagers, no favoritism is shown! But when facing outsiders, we must unite against them!"

"I am 95% absolutely sure!!!! The thousands of Chu clan families in our village are definitely racking their brains to rescue us under the leadership of the village committee!!!"

"..."

Chu Xiong clenched his fists, speaking with fervor, as if he could already see himself being welcomed out by the villagers.

Beside him, Tao Yan, though harboring doubts, could only choose to believe it now.

After all, after a series of blows, the couple was on the verge of collapse.

They desperately needed this tiny glimmer of hope to sustain themselves and keep going... Just as the couple huddled together for warmth, encouraging each other!

"(#`O′) Hey! You two, come here. Someone from your village just came and asked us to give you this letter."

At the door of the detention room, a guard appeared and handed a letter through the iron bars.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong's eyes lit up, their expressions excited, and a blazing fire of hope ignited in their hearts.

Could it be that what they said came true... the villagers, united as one, were outside trying every possible way to rescue them?!

Thinking of this, the couple was moved to tears 〒▽〒, beyond words.

They secretly vowed that after returning to the village, they would definitely turn over a new leaf and become better people, to repay the villagers' great kindness...

Hmph! The Tang Family and those two vicious little hussies thought they could take this opportunity to put us to death?

They definitely didn't expect... that we have so many 'relatives' protecting us!!!

After leaving here, we must find a way to get revenge.

After so many years of nurturing grace, if the Tang Family doesn't give us a billion or so, it's unacceptable. They will absolutely not let it go, and at worst, they'll blow things up and go down fighting!!!!!

After getting this deserved 'huge sum,' they would use it to build roads, schools, and public facilities for the village.

For the smallest kindness from the village, they would repay it with a gushing spring.

With a heart full of gratitude, Chu Xiong took the letter and opened it.

Immediately after, the couple exchanged glances, standing dumbfounded on the spot.

"..."

Alright! They had forgotten that neither of them could read a single word. The Chinese characters on the letter recognized them, but they didn't recognize the characters...

In desperation, Chu Xiong could only shamelessly beg the guard to read it to him.

Two and a half minutes later, the officer who took the letter had a strange look in his eyes and began to explain the content of the letter. The general meaning was:

"You two bastards have brought an extremely bad influence on the village's reputation."

"After a unanimous vote by 10086 households in the village, it has been decided to remove Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong from the family tree."

"From now on, the village will have no further connection with them, and they are forbidden to step foot in Chu Family Village ever again."

"As for the few meager possessions they left behind, they have already been divided among the villagers as compensation, and their house has been converted into a public facility."

"In short! You two, get as far away as possible. If you dare to return to the village, we'll break your legs. Be advised!"

"..."

On the back of the letter were the names of 10086 villagers, all of whom had cast their votes under their real names, strongly demanding that Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong be expelled from Chu Family Village.

Looking at the neatly written page of names, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong felt their scalps tingle, unable to recover for a long time.

Among them, they even saw many familiar names, such as their various aunts and uncles, neighbors... Even the name of the three-year-old child next door, [Chu Aotian], was there. Was everyone participating?!

Two and a half minutes later, Chu Xiong, who was the first to regain his senses, turned pale and knelt on the ground with a look of disbelief.

Finally, his immense confusion transformed into an earth-shattering roar w(ﾟДﾟ)w:

"No~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~"

In his collapse, he vaguely heard an apt background music drifting from the sky.

[Snowflakes fluttering~~~ North wind whistling~~~]

[Heaven and Earth~~~ a vast expanse~~~]

Beside him, Tao Yan, startled awake, also let out a mournful wail, a despairing cry.

The couple never expected... that what awaited them was not the 'aid' of the villagers, but their ruthless betrayal!!!

It was bad enough that their pots and pans were all divided up, but damn it, even their ancestral home, passed down for generations, was snatched by the villagers and converted into a public toilet!!!!!

A whole village of beasts!!!!! (꒦_꒦)

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!!!!"

"Let me out, I'm going back to the village to settle scores with those bastards!!!!!! Let me out!!!"

"..."

In despair, the couple wailed and lunged at the iron bars, jamming their faces in the gaps and shouting to be let out.

But how could the guards pay attention to such unreasonable demands?!

They simply treated it as dog barking—woof woof woof—and elegantly chose to ignore it.

Who would have thought... that after losing all hope, Mr. and Mrs. Chu Xiong shouted through the entire night. Having lost their last straw of hope, they continued to shout even after their voices turned hoarse...

"Woof woof woof—"

And all of this, apart from the tormented law enforcement officers inside the police station, was unknown to the outside world.

At this moment, the Tang Family was busily preparing for their meeting with Lin Xuan and his wife tomorrow...
