In fact, when Li Ke left Zhang's house, he untied Aunt Mei because he wanted her to clean up the mess for Zhang Tao after she woke up.

As a result, Aunt Mei's physical and mental qualities were probably too poor, and she didn't wake up even after Li Ke had been gone for half an hour.

Zhang Tao stood against the wardrobe for a long time, shivering and shrinking, and when he heard no sound for a long time, he mustered up the courage to use his free left hand to tear off the clothes covering his head.

The bedroom door was wide open, and the dim light from the yard illuminated the door. Zhang Tao looked at the door, not daring to move, for fear that the killer would suddenly appear at the door again.

After a while, Zhang Tao, with tears all over his face, pulled out the cloth that was blocking his mouth and whispered, "Wife, wife? Where are you?"

His face was pressed against the wardrobe towards the door, he didn't dare to look away, his right hand was nailed to the wardrobe, he was in excruciating pain.

After calling out several times and getting no response, Zhang Tao became bolder and started looking around. When he saw his wife lying on the ground, he called out twice more, but there was still no movement from the person on the ground.

Zhang Tao didn't know whether his wife was dead or alive. If she was dead, he would be scared to death thinking that there was a dead person lying next to him, even if she was his wife.

Zhang Tao couldn't wake up his wife. He was scared and his hands were in pain. He cried softly and it took him a long time to make up his mind before he pulled the knife out of the wardrobe.

With this action, the knife sharpened in his palm again. Zhang Tao was in so much pain that he instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and staggered back two steps, then sat on the chair in front of the bed where clothes were placed.

It was this action that caused him to accidentally step on Aunt Mei's hand on the ground, which woke her up in pain.

Aunt Mei woke up with a groan, and there was complete darkness in front of her eyes. She felt her entire neck was numb, her head was a little dizzy and nauseous, her fingers were numb and painful, and her whole body felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Wife, wife, you're awake, get up quickly." Zhang Tao saw his wife making sounds and moving her body, and he felt relieved. He used his still soft legs to kick the person on the ground, wanting her to get up quickly and help him.

When Aunt Mei heard her husband's voice, she seemed to come back to her senses and remembered what happened in her home. She carefully took off the cover on her head and asked her husband in a low voice: "Lao Zhang, is that person gone? Are we safe?"

Zhang Tao got a little bolder after hearing his wife's response. His face turned pale, and he held his right wrist with his left hand and said, "He should be gone. Honey, please move faster. I'm in so much pain. Please get up and pack up, and take me to the hospital."

Aunt Mei had taken off the clothes on her head. Although there was no light in the room, she adjusted herself and still saw the figure of her husband sitting on the chair.

Aunt Mei supported her head and slowly sat up. Her body was still weak and powerless.

"Lao Zhang, I have a severe headache and I have no strength left. I can't get up. Please turn on the light and find your cell phone to call someone to take us to the hospital." Aunt Mei said weakly.

Zhang Tao pouted and said, "The power is out, the lights can't be turned on, and the phone can't be found. My hand is injured. Please try to get up and find a flashlight. We can only rely on ourselves now."

Aunt Mei cried and crawled to the TV cabinet to find a flashlight, crying, "Oh my God, what sin have I committed? I have lived most of my life and encountered such a fatal thing! Lao Zhang, I hate you so much!"

Aunt Mei also remembered what the killer said. Old Zhang was a slut. He would get horny when he saw a woman. He became more and more shameless as he got older. Aunt Mei was used to it. As long as the family had money, she couldn't get divorced at her age.

Who would have thought that this damn guy had messed with a woman he shouldn't have messed with, and that her man would come to him with a knife in the middle of the night to settle the score, and the two of them were almost sent to see the King of Hell.

"Okay, keep your voice down. Who knows if the person has gone far? If we alarm the neighbors and they call the police for us, our lives will be in danger!" Old Zhang heard the old woman's voice getting louder and louder, and hurriedly spoke out to stop her.

Aunt Mei was so frightened by her old man that she quickly covered her mouth. After a while, she fumbled to turn on the flashlight, and the room finally became bright.

Aunt Mei was paralyzed for a while before she stood up and walked towards her husband. She was shocked to see a knife stuck in his hand, but she was not worried at all. Instead, she felt that he deserved it and secretly felt fortunate and gloating.

Her sight shifted again, and when she saw the double bed that had been moved far away from the wall, and the empty hole underneath, Aunt Mei couldn't help but cry out in pain again: "Ah—our family's money!"

Old Zhang was so angry that he glared at her. He had been sitting here for a while and had already seen what he should have seen: "Keep your voice down. You are still alive. That little money is nothing!"

"You shameless old man, it's all your fault. You returned that little money! That's more than 1.3 million in cash and 2.4 million in gold!" Aunt Mei was so angry that she hit Zhang Tao.

Zhang Tao moved his right hand and gasped in pain: "Stop messing around, quickly find me a set of clean underwear and pants and help me change. Take my ID and bank card, and let's go to the hospital first. If we delay any longer, I'm going to bleed to death!"

Zhang Tao found a pack of tissues and wrapped his right hand with layer after layer. The blood was still flowing, so he took a piece of clothing and wrapped his hand. After these actions, his face became uglier and uglier. He was complaining in his heart that his wife was useless and slow. If he had injured the aorta, he would have died in the morning.

Aunt Mei also knew that it was useless to feel distressed now. When she heard Lao Zhang's request, she went to look at his pants and naturally discovered the large wet area.

She concealed her disgust, went to find his pants, helped him change, then went to find his ID card and bank card, and helped Lao Zhang out of the bedroom.

It was already half past five in the morning. Aunt Mei still felt that something was strange in the yard. When she realized what was happening, she stopped supporting Lao Zhang and ran towards the store in front with a flashlight.

The four connected rooms were all empty. Aunt Mei's mind went blank and she sat down on the floor all of a sudden.

Old Zhang also came over with great pain and said to Aunt Mei: "This must be a gang that committed the crime. We can't afford to offend them. Let's just consider it as a loss to avoid disaster."

When the couple arrived at the hospital and saw people coming and going, they felt like they were back to the world and they relaxed a lot.

The doctor couldn't help but ask Zhang Tao what was wrong with his hand?

Seeing that the couple came together, both looked unhappy and had red eyes, the doctor guessed that it was probably a fight between the couple and they used a knife.

Lao Zhang just said that it was dark and he wasn't paying attention, and he got hurt somehow when he was picking up the fruit.

Aunt Mei also nodded and said yes. This was something the two of them had discussed in advance when they were in the car.

When the doctor heard this excuse and saw the flickering eyes of the couple, he realized that it was just a fight between the couple. In that case, he naturally would not interfere and just treat the injuries.

The knife was removed, the wound was cleaned, stitched, medicine applied, and two bottles of water were given. By noon, the couple could get the medicine and be discharged from the hospital.

Walking out of the hospital and standing in the sunshine, the couple both felt exceptionally warm. Thinking of the horror of last night, both of them didn't want to go home.

Aunt Mei asked Zhang Tao: "Old Zhang, do you have a direction in your mind? Do you have anyone you suspect? If we can catch him and send him to jail, we won't have to worry about him in the future."

Zhang Tao was not sure at all. He could not identify anyone. He would not dare to offend such a cruel person. Who knew if the passing woman was offended by him and wanted to settle the score afterwards? In this case, he had no idea at all.

Zhang Tao sighed, "I didn't even see a hair of that person before I was knocked unconscious. How could I know who he was? Moreover, this is clearly a gang crime. If one of them slips through the net, we will be retaliated against. Don't even think about asking the police for help. Don't even tell our two sons and daughter about this."

Now that both sons are married and have their own families, they are full of ulterior motives. If they knew that their family had such a small treasury and that it ended up benefiting the criminals, who knows if they would take the initiative to call the police?

Even if I didn't call the police, I would probably feel resentful towards the couple.

Moreover, when Zhang Tao recalled that he was lifted up by that man with one hand and heard the cold voice ringing in his ears, he still trembled with fear. That man was too strong. Although he didn't see anything, he knew that the other party was very scary.

Aunt Mei also knew that what Lao Zhang said made sense, but she still said, "I did see the figure of that person. I saw him at a glance. He was very strong and muscular. I was knocked unconscious before I could react. I thought about it and found that there is definitely no such person among the people I know. You should be more honest in the future. If this happens again, I really can't live anymore."

Aunt Mei was thinking that if it happened again, she would separate from Lao Zhang and live with her son or daughter in the future, so as to avoid being implicated by this pervert again.

Zhang Tao listened to the advice this time: "After what happened, I will never dare to do it again."

His words at this time were completely sincere, but he himself did not expect that it is difficult to change one's nature, not to mention that most people in the world forget the pain once the wound has healed.

The Zhang couple locked the door of their hometown and went to a house in the city trembling with fear to recuperate and avoid the disaster.

Li Ke received a message from the person who processed the certificate early in the morning. The message stated an address, which was a park in the south city. Li Ke replied "received" and got up to pack himself.

When she went downstairs, the Chen family was sitting together eating breakfast. Chen Niansheng saw Li Ke coming down and said, "Xiao Ke, come and eat with us. Don't go to the kitchen anymore. Just eat with us."

Li Ke saw that Grandma Chen looked mean and unwilling, but she still held back and said nothing. Chen Xian, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Li Ke's face and continued eating his own food.

The others all lowered their heads and ate their own food, either ignoring Li Ke or thinking that they didn't need to pay attention to her.

Li Ke felt that his appetite was affected, so he replied, "No, I'm not hungry. I'll go out first."
