Chapter 131 She wronged no one; she is a hero.
As early as the third day after escaping the island, Wang Meilan learned that all the people on Yunyu Island had disappeared overnight.
She assumed that the women had also come to their senses after Mr. Bi's death and had all fled the island.
But the truth is, she visited several places, and they all said that the families had not returned at all.
Then came seven years of complete silence.
Therefore, when Ding Xiaoxue told her that the adventure location announced in advance for the third episode of "Seven Ghost Stories" was actually Cloud and Rain Island, she hesitated for a long time, but still decided to come back and find out.
Actually, she was also afraid; she was afraid of being punished by ghosts.
Lin Sui's words strengthened her resolve to stay.
The crimes on the island have not yet been exposed, and the whereabouts of those poor women are still unknown; she cannot leave.
Mr. Bi said that they all died because of her?
Wang Meilan's hands and feet were ice cold, and she was feeling panicked and helpless when she suddenly heard a clear and pleasant voice flowing past her ears.
“You are the one who truly killed them.” Lin Sui looked at Mr. Bi calmly. “Even without Wang Meilan, those women would still have died. Either from difficult childbirth or from the various diseases caused by repeated surrogacy.”
"And it was precisely because of Wang Meilan that a small number of people like Ding Xiaoxue were able to escape from the hellhole."
"It is because of her that more women have been spared from persecution."
"She did not wrong anyone; she is a hero."
Wang Meilan's heart skipped a beat, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She used to be a journalist who went deep into the lives of people at the bottom of society.
Because of her work, she followed and interviewed a landscaping worker.
The worker was only thirty-five years old, but because he was exposed to the wind and sun all day long and worked from dawn till dusk, he looked like he was forty or fifty.
The worker's parents died early, and he has no contact with relatives. He only has a mother-in-law who likes to play mahjong, an idle husband, and a son who is in junior high school.
The family's livelihood depends on her landscaping work, and she also takes care of all the household chores—getting up before dawn to prepare breakfast for the whole family, returning home after dark to do laundry, cook, and clean, busy until the early hours of the morning.
She asked her, "Are you tired?"
After a long silence, the worker smiled simply and said, "I'm used to it."
She wrote a report about the workers' lives and published it on her WeChat official account and Weibo.
The number of visitors was very small, and almost no one paid any attention to it.
Only one comment left a deep impression on her—
My mom is like that too, isn't that normal? Is it necessary to write it out specifically?
She exchanged contact information with the workers, and they would greet each other from time to time.
One day, a worker messaged her, saying that because her son needed money for high school, she had switched to a higher-paying job on an island, and for confidentiality reasons, she had to hand over her phone.
At the end of the text message, the worker said with anticipation: "I hope everything goes well in the coming year. Wish me luck."
She immediately became suspicious. What kind of job clearly required a year and also required handing over one's phone for confidentiality?
She went to the worker's house to ask her son and husband, and the father and son just told her with happy faces that his wife (mother) had hit the jackpot and met a benefactor.
At that time, she naively thought that since other people's husbands and sons were not worried, there should be no problem.
A year later, there was still no news from the worker. She went to her house again and found that they had bought a new house in town, and the worker's husband had a new wife.
She asked the worker why he hadn't returned yet, but her husband simply replied casually, "How could he return if he were dead?"
She could hardly believe her ears. How could a perfectly healthy person just die?
No one gave her an answer.
Later, the worker's son couldn't stand his stepmother and complained to her: "This woman is no good at all. She won't wash my clothes or cook for me. If I had known, I wouldn't have let my mother go with Mr. Bi."
She finally grasped a clue.
She followed this lead and found that Mr. Bi would come to this place every six months to recruit female workers, and the target of his recruitment was always women who were factory workers.
She had a bad feeling, so when Mr. Bi came to recruit workers again, she disguised herself and went undercover on the island.
Life on the island was indeed like paradise for women who had toiled for half their lives.
Therefore, they willingly succumb to depravity, willingly become surrogates, and willingly be tamed.
Even with her best efforts to persuade them, and even with Ding Xiaoxue revealing the truth that they would eventually die, only about a dozen young girls were willing to escape with her. She could only think that she would call the police after leaving and let them rescue them.
They had been secretly planning for a long time, and finally decided to set the villa on fire and escape in the chaos.
But they were still discovered.
Just when she was in despair, a sudden gust of wind made the fire grow bigger.
As if it had eyes, it directly engulfed Mr. Bi in the fire.
