Chapter 786: Buried Her Head And Cried In Silence
“Miss w.a.n.g… Miss w.a.n.g…”
Little Tian was still looking for her out there. The sounds of her shouting gradually got closer and louder, but w.a.n.g Xiangyun did not utter a single word as she buried her head between her knees and kept sobbing silently.
Her mind had gone blank. She did not know what she should do.
The punks who had managed to flee returned to the crowded streets once more, their faces satisfied and refreshed after completing the dirty deed.
“Bro, how much do you think this crystal clear bracelet is worth?” one of them asked greedily as he held onto the jade bracelet taken from w.a.n.g Xiangyun’s hand.
“It’s valuable, alright, that much I can tell! Let’s go p.a.w.n it!”
The three had gotten very pleased with themselves after robbing a woman of her riches and innocence!
Two officers happened to pa.s.sed by the alleyway and spotted a woman with ruffled hair sitting on the ground. She seemed to have gone through a traumatic event. They rushed towards her.
“Miss, are you alright? Are you hurt?”
Because she was a woman, the two guards dared not touch her. They stood by the side and asked with concern.
Then they exchanged glances. It was obvious what she had just gone through.
w.a.n.g Xiangyun kept her head buried and her whole body trembled at the unfamiliar voices. It seemed to be a reflex conditioned by fear.
The two officers noticed that. One of them spoke again. “Miss, don’t be afraid. We’re officers, not the bad guys.”
The other one questioned, “Do you remember what the punks looked like, or where they ran off to?”
“….” w.a.n.g Xiangyun did not reply still. She continued sobbing in silence.
The two officers were at a loss regarding her situation but they could empathize with her.
They a.s.sumed the punks could not have gone far and that they could capture them immediately. But w.a.n.g Xiangyun would not disclose any information and this made the case tricky for them.
If they could get some facts about the punks, whether they were fat or thin or whatnot, it would be easier to find the culprits who violated the woman.
It was then that Little Tian and the other servants arrived at the alleyway and peered inside. They saw the two guards and a woman kneeling beside them. They were shocked.
Wasn’t that their lady?
“Miss w.a.n.g!” Her voice shaking, Little Tian ran towards her.
w.a.n.g Xiangyun had her head buried, hiding her face, but Little Tian still managed to recognize her, mainly because of the dress she wore. It was her favorite.
The two officers looked back at Little Tian as she approached. It seemed they were looking for the same woman.
“You came at the right time, miss. Bring your lady home and console her. We’ll drop by later to ask about the punks who did this,” they told Little Tian.
They were unable to get anything out of her with her current state. They would just have to ask around the pedestrians along these streets to see if they had information or familiarity regarding the punks, so that the perpetrators could be taken to justice.
Little Tian had no intention to respond to the officers. Her mind was completely blank. She could not believe what had happened to her lady, despite the obvious. She chose not to.
“M-Miss, you…” She knelt down next to w.a.n.g Xiangyun, her voice trembling, not knowing what else to say.
From the moment she spotted w.a.n.g Xiangyun, tears had welled up in her eyes. Eventually she could not hold it any longer and let them out.
The servants who followed figured out what she had been through. Each of them thought they were done for.
A scary trial would be awaiting them in the capital.
w.a.n.g Xiangyun recognized the familiar voice beside her, and that was the final straw that sent her into the pit of despair.
