DOOMSDAY ECSTASY CAVE (272)
272. KNOW
Chu Youning raised her head and glanced at Scar Qiang lightly, and then revealed a strange smile.
"Scar Qiang, original name Zhao Qiang. Ten years ago, after being jailed for causing the death of another person in a mob fight, was sentenced to life imprisonment and deprived of political rights for life."
Scar Qiang did not expect Chu Youning to say such a thing. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he looked at Chu Youning coldly.
Chu Youning didn't care, and while eating the noodles gracefully, she continued, "When the end times came, he was among the first batch of people to awaken abilities and obtained fire-type ability. The ability grew at a rapid rate, and his hands were ruthless. Not only did he manage to save his own life in the early days of the end times, but he also took in a group of brothers with similar vile habits."
[臭味相投- chòu wèi xiāng tóu- to share vile habits / partners in notoriety / birds of a feather]
Scar Qiang's eyes narrowed slightly, "You know a lot." If Scar Qiang didn't think too much of her because of her beauty before, then after Chu Youning told his story, he had to think more. Who was this woman? Why did she know about him? What was the purpose of their visit to the Freedom Base?
Chu Youning smiled, "It's alright, I know what I should know, and I also know a little of what I shouldn't know." Having said that, Chu Youning's eyes turned and the corners of her mouth turned up into a sarcastic smile, "I also know that after you went to prison, the old parents at home were angry to death, and soon after, your wife even divorced you. So after all these years in prison, no one has ever come to see you."
*Bang!* Scar Qiang slammed his fist on the table, and looking at Chu Yuning angrily, "If you don't want to die too ugly, you shut your mouth for me!"
Chu Youning raised her eyebrows when she heard his threat. The table was broken, and there was no food to eat. So she turned the chopsticks in her hand into a white handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then threw the handkerchief on the ground, where it landed and turned back into chopsticks.
"You may not know that when you were arrested, your wife found out that she was pregnant, and gave birth to a girl for you after she divorced you."
Scar Qiang stood up and shouted in disbelief, "Impossible!"
Chu Youning, on the other hand, laughed mockingly, "I also think it's impossible. How can someone like you have a child, but... this is the truth. Your wife didn't remarry after she divorced you. She raised the child all alone by selling steamed buns on the street corner."
Scar Qiang was stunned, and the scarred face still looked so ugly. "Impossible..." He still couldn't dare to believe it.
Chu Youning looked at Scar Qiang's faintly flickering eyes, and then continued calmly, "When your daughter turned seven, the end times came. Neither she nor your wife became zombies, but they have also not been able to awaken their abilities... An ordinary mother and daughter in the end times..." A trace of regret flashed in Chu Youning's eyes.
Scar Qiang thought of that scene, and his face suddenly turned pale. His mouth was still saying that it was impossible, but... a look of collapse gradually appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something and grabbed Chu Yuning's shoulders. "Where are they? You quickly tell me, where are they?"
Before he was sent to prison, everyone envied him for having a good and gentle wife. However, he had a few drinks with his buddies, and one of the buddies got into a conflict with someone and was beaten up. It was the blood in their bones and also the effect of alcohol, the few of them swarmed and beat the man to death. They didn't kill him on purpose, but... they had too much to drink... fists and feet don't have cautious eyes...
When he sobered up, he regretted it, but it was too late... On the day of his sentencing, no one came to see him off, he searched for a long time in the crowd with his hands cuffed. He thought his family felt ashamed of him and didn't want him anymore, and his beloved wife also didn't want him...
Chu Youning didn't care about the hand on her neck, just looked at him lightly, with indifferent eyes.
