Zhen Zhen was kidnapped in her sleep. Dashun and Song Hongyu brought her back, tying her together with Qiu Feng. Song Hongyu, harboring resentment because Zhen Zhen had previously rejected her, began to beat and kick Zhen Zhen with an iron shovel. At this point, Zhen Zhen still refused to submit, questioning what she had done to provoke Song Hongyu. Song Hongyu had discovered that Qiu Feng’s business was the best, having saved up at least 500,000 yuan. Qiu Feng had no choice but to reveal his bank card password, but Zhen Zhen did not have a bank card. Deng Ligang found this disappointing, thinking it was an easy target.
Song Hongyu began to perversely torture Zhen Zhen and Qiu Feng, forcing them to beat each other and using pliers to pinch Zhen Zhen’s hands. At this moment, memories of her mother flashed through Zhen Zhen’s mind. Zhen Zhen’s parents had repeatedly contacted the police, but since there was no news, the police suggested they wait at home. The police felt the situation was unmanageable and thus forwarded the case details to Peng Zhaolin for review.
Song Hongyu tormented Qiu Feng and Zhen Zhen all night. After Shi Bi woke up, he took both of them in hand. Shi Bi asked Zhen Zhen to call her family and transfer 50,000 yuan to have her released. Shi Bi wielded a knife in a perverse manner and even turned on a meat grinder to scare them. Zhen Zhen was terrified, her lips turning white, and finally agreed to call her family. Zhen Zhen’s parents, upon receiving the call, were extremely worried. Following Shi Bi’s instructions, Zhen Zhen claimed she had accidentally pushed someone off a building during a fight, demanding 50,000 yuan. Shi Bi discovered that the call was made from Xuecheng and quickly informed Deng Ligang.
Peng Zhaolin and his team arrived at Zhen Zhen’s home just as her parents were about to transfer the money. Shi Bi threatened Zhen Zhen to make the call, and Peng Zhaolin instructed them to transfer the money piece by piece to buy time. Zhen Zhen’s parents, accompanied by the police, transferred the money, only to find it had been withdrawn in Luancheng. Peng Zhaolin hurriedly led his team there. Qiu Feng’s family did not send money, leaving Deng Ligang in a foul mood, and he beat her for minor inconveniences.
Peng Zhaolin reviewed the surveillance footage and discovered that the person withdrawing the money was Dashun; the scoundrels had taken matters into their own hands. The police set up a perimeter around the bank, but all ATMs were under police watch. Dashun claimed that Zhen Zhen’s family must have reported to the police, infuriating Deng Ligang, who angrily called Zhen Zhen’s family and threatened them, saying not to give any more money and that they would never see their daughter again! Upon learning that they had been exposed, Peng Zhaolin could only try to stay calm, as this matter would not be resolved anytime soon. Deng Ligang became determined to kill Zhen Zhen and Qiu Feng, ordering Song Hongyu to bathe and cleanse them before they cleanly left this world. Zhen Zhen cried helplessly, her sobs almost inaudible.
Zhen Zhen and Qiu Feng were in the bathroom on the ground when Song Hongyu remarked that Zhen Zhen looked somewhat like Huang Ying, stating that the bracelet belonged to her. Song Hongyu made Zhen Zhen wear the bracelet, intending to soak it with her blood. As they hurried to leave, Song Hongyu suddenly showed mercy by telling them a story: At fifteen, she went out to work, doing all sorts of dirty and exhausting jobs. At eighteen, she met a boss, not knowing he had a family, so his wife confronted her. Song Hongyu lost everything again and went to a bar, where she met Deng Ligang.
