Nightmare Assault Chapter 148: Memory

“When Zhao Xiangmei was arrested, my mother was present,” The woman explained, “Based on her memory, Zhao Xiangmei was captured at the Qian Family courtyard. She was already heavily injured. Her body was covered in blood. Her hair was matted with blood and mud. Her face was scratched. She was practically unrecognisable.”

“Even so, they should be able to recognise her voice, right?” Chen Xiaomeng questioned.

The woman shook her head. “There appeared to be some issues with her throat. She could not make any sound, much less speak.

“Just as the police brought the kidnapped women over to have them identify whether she was the real Zhao Xiangmei, someone riled up the crowd to beat up Zhao Xiangmei. The parents of the kidnapped women exploded. They charged over the cordon line and took her away.” Jiang Cheng and Chen Xiaomeng knew what happened next. The woman, who was assumed to be the human trafficker, was beaten to almost death and dumped near the Cold Virtue Pool. By then, she only had one last breath in her.

At this point, Chen Xiaomeng and Jiang Cheng shared a look. They had been to the Cold Virtue Pool. It was hidden deep in the mountains.

Clearly, they had a guide.

The Qian Family swapped an innocent woman’s identity with that of their daughter, Qian Jianxiu. That would explain how all 29 kidnapped women were alive, and there was still an extra ghost.

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes. He already knew Qian Jianxiu’s hiding spot. It was at An Ping Inn!

The woman in the hidden room with the ruined face… was the culprit from twenty years ago. She was the daughter of Village Head Qian, Qian Jianxiu!

She was the person the ghost was looking for! This would explain why the ghost would leave the bodies around An Ping Town after killing them. This was a silent threat.

Jiang Cheng thought back to the pair of red eyes he saw at Cold Vi
