Chapter 426 Found him
Song Yan used the tip of her boot to lift the trapdoor. As soon as the door to the basement opened, a disgusting smell of blood, urine, and other things hit her nose. Her face wrinkled slightly, she took a deep breath, and then closed her eyes. She was preparing for what she would see after going down the stairs.
"Let's go." After opening her eyes, she said to Fang Yanli, and walked down step by step. The further she walked down, the stronger the horrible smell coming from the end of the basement became. She didn't feel sick, but her eyes were red.
It was as if she could already see the pain and torture her father was going through here.
When Song Yan climbed up the last step, she was so scared that she gritted her teeth and dared not move forward.
"Go and finish this matter. The longer you wait, the harder it will be." Fang Yanli kindly suggested. She certainly knew how Song Yan felt at the moment, but no matter how much Song Yan hoped that things would turn out this way, it was easy. Nothing could be easier than this.
"I'm scared." Song Yan confessed that after hating her father for so many years and blaming him for all the bad things in her life, Song Yan couldn't help but feel guilty about her father. More importantly, she didn't want to see her father broken and hurt. In her eyes, her father had always been as strong as a tree and had always protected her since she was a child. Now, when she stood in this basement, she couldn't. Although she hated him, she was still scared to see her father in a state she never wanted to see.
"That's natural." Fang Yanli nodded, not quite understanding, but quickly added, "But your father needs you. Are you sure you want to keep him locked up in this basement?"
Song Yan came back to his senses, clenched his fingers, and walked into the basement. The space was small and he couldn't see anything, but Song Yan stepped forward and his boots hit the dog bowl, almost grinding his teeth into dust. Chu Lian fed his father, right here?
That bitch! Tsk!
Something was wrong in her heart, and Song Yan's brow twitched with anger, but she remained calm. When she was about to rescue her father, she couldn't let her anger control her, but when she stopped in front of a small hole in the room, her determination was once again greatly challenged.
It was darker here than in the other corner, but even in the dim light, Song Yan could make out the vague outline of a man in handcuffs, his arms bound above his head, and an iron chain tied around each ankle.
Song Yan turned on the light in the dim corner with trembling fingers and almost fell to her knees. There was her father, but at the same time, he didn't look like her father at all, okay. His hair was long, his beard almost reached his chest, he was shirtless, and new and old dagger scars were scattered on his arms and chest.
One of them seemed to have been infected a few days ago, and the rotting flesh was crawling with tiny maggots.
His entire body was as thin as a skeleton, as if covered by a layer of skin. If it weren't for his father's chest constantly rising and falling, Song Yan would have thought that he had -
Song Yan raised his head and blinked away his tears.
The image of Song Ye's tough and ruthless boss Song Dongming overlapped with the cruelty he had just witnessed, and Song Yan realized that his father had suffered a lot.
She blinked a few more times before she took a breath and calmed down. Now was not the time for her to get emotional, she had to rescue her father and take him to the hospital so that he could be saved.
After dealing with his emotions, Song Yan stood up, took out the key he got from Xiao Anna's house, stepped over the mess on the ground, and untied the chains tied to his father's arms and legs.
Song Dongming was weak and without the support of the chains, he collapsed to the ground. Song Yan knelt on the ground and carefully felt his father's pulse. "Although he is very weak, at least he is still alive."
She breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song's father's face. Under the dim light, she saw that his cheeks were unusually red. Worried, she immediately raised her hand and pressed it on her father's forehead.
"He's burning!" She said anxiously. Father Song's body temperature was very high. When her hand touched Father Song's forehead, Song Yan swore that her skin was almost burned. "I have to take him away..."
She was interrupted when she heard footsteps coming from above. She pricked up her ears and heard someone talking. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed with murderous intent. She picked up the chain thrown on the ground. She didn't want to hurt any innocent people, except Chu Lian. That woman was not innocent at all!
Song Yan's determination wavered for a moment, but when she looked at her father who had been tortured for many years, her determination became stronger.
