Chapter 41: Choosing to Leave
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Pei Xin approached Ling Lin and asked gently, “What do you think? Do you want to come with me?”
Although Ling Lin was injured, his eyes were still just as bright.
He remembered how Lu Huai had protected him back then. His eyes were filled with admiration. “1 like Daddy. With Daddy around, those bad people won’t dare to bully you anymore, Mommy. If we leave, will we ever get to see Daddy again?” At this point, Ling Lin’s expression faltered and he looked a little disappointed.
Pei Xin put away her thoughts and coaxed Ling Lin. “1 was just asking. Lin Lin, you should rest first.”
After Ling Lin fell asleep, Pei Xin called Ling Jin out.
“What are your plans?” Ling Jin asked, knowing that Pei Xin had something to say.
“I have to leave this place,” Pei Xin said. “As long as I leave, Lu Li and Pei Yu will have no reason to use you.”
“Ling Lin still has to go to school. If he leaves with me and we don’t end up finding a place to stay, his future will be ruined.” She thought that her sentence in prison was enough to make up for what she owed Ling Xue.
She must have thought too kindly of them. It seemed like Lu Li and Pei Yu did not have any plans of letting her go.
At least Ling Lin was not beaten every day when she was in prison.
Since Ling Lin’s disaster was caused by her return, her departure was the best decision to protect Ling Lin.
Pei Xin looked at Ling Jin earnestly. “You have to stay here. Ling Lin needs your care. Also, Officer Annie said that she will take care of you. If you encounter any trouble in the future, you can call the police. You and Ling Lin don’t owe them anything, it’s between me and them. Moreover, Lu Huai seems to like Ling Lin very much. If something happens to Ling Lin, he won’t just leave it be.”
Although she did not have many interactions with Lu Huai, he was always the one who helped her when she was in a pickle.
Furthermore, Ling Lin was a sensitive person. He had always been able to clearly sense the kindness and malice of others. When Ling Lin met Lu Huai, Ling Lin did not hesitate. Instead, he had a good impression of him.
This showed that Lu Huai and Lu Li were different.
Seeing that Pei Xin had already made up her mind, Ling Jin didn’t try to persuade her anymore.
He contacted Annie and arranged for Pei Xin to leave as soon as possible.
The following night, Pei Xin boarded a boat.
She was told to hide in the room where the goods were stored. She had to wear tattered clothes and had dirt sprawled all over on her face.
Even if Lu Li were to appear in front of her now, he would not be able to recognize her at first glance.
When she first entered prison, she was bullied every day. Her meals were spat on, they peed on her bed, they stripped her naked, and humiliated her to the core.
She had tried to resist, but in return, the other party chose to take on greater tragic revenge.
Later on, she found out that there was a room that no other prisoners dared to provoke.
It was said that the people imprisoned inside were all big shots. Every crime done in that room would mean severe execution, but there were special reasons why they could not be executed.
At that time, Pei Xin had taken it to heart.
She wanted to escape this place, even if she had to be locked up with those perverts.
After that, she deliberately provoked her cellmate, broke her ribs, had a heart attack, and suffered a concussion…
On average, she was hospitalized once a week, and she almost died several times.
The warden couldn’t bear to see this and chatted with her. When he heard about Pei Xin’s experience, the warden was shocked.
“Are you sure you want to move to that cell?” The warden asked her. “In the normal prison, you will only be injured to this extent, but in there, you might die.”
At that time, Pei Xin smiled bitterly. “1 might as well die now. Please, let me go-”
In the end, the warden gave her a chance and locked her up with those perverts.
At first, Pei Xin was on edge when she was paired with those perverts.
What she didn’t expect was that these perverts were exceptionally good to her.
After listening to her story, they disdained the rich even more.
These perverts were actually a group of big shots who hated capitalists.
Pei Xin spent a year with them.
During that time, she was beaten as much and learned a lot from these big shots.
Lock-picking, make-up concealing, and disguising were the most basic things she picked up.
However, as she was often electrocuted, her memories were a little hazy.
She hadn’t put what she had learned into practice, so she wasn’t very adept at using it.
She was on the run and was resting groggily on the sea, allowing her to go through all the knowledge she had learned in prison.
It was only when the door was opened and someone told her that they had reached the shore that she was completely awake.
When she saw outsiders, she returned to her timid appearance..
