Bab 749: Chapter 749: The Price of Revenge

Wei Zangxiang angrily said, "For officials who fail to protect the people, they are despicable! What happened next? The bandits took you..."

"Although the bandits didn't kill me, they wouldn't let me go easily either."

Wenren Zong's voice deepened, and his gaze became painful, "Before my eyes, the bandits... they... Linghua, they..."

His voice choked up.

Wei Zangxiang's face turned pale as well.

"Sixteen people, all sixteen of them." Wenren Zong's fingers almost crushed the bowl, as tears dripped into it one by one, "The bandits forced me to watch, to see Linghua being humiliated by each and every one of them."

"Stop talking about it." Wei Zangxiang raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Mother." Wenren Zong closed his eyes, tears streaming down his cheeks, "Even when the Wenren family's property was confiscated and we were thrown into prison, I never felt as desperate and hateful as I did at that moment."
