Chapter 1250: I Want to Make You Stay (128)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
He had already learned quite a bit about the Mu family and the current situation of his ex-girlfriend’s life.
I can’t believe she’d actually be so cruel to her own daughter.
He picked Mu Wansheng up and brought her away from the Mu family home.
However, he did not have a place of his own and was currently staying at An Xiaoning’s house. He could not bring Mu Wansheng back with him either.
Thus, he decided to bring her to the old house where his family used to reside.
He was born in a village and came from a humble background, which was also the very reason why he was so vulnerable to the harm others had caused him. After he had met with the mishap, his father moved away with his sister and had never once returned to the old family home.
He would not have thought of coming to this place if it weren’t because it was nighttime.
He wished he could kill Mu Wansheng, at the thought of her being the only child of his ex-girlfriend. However, he decided to take her to the house after recalling An Xiaoning’s words.
The gate of his old house was locked tightly, and there were weeds all over the backyard of the abandoned house. He pried the lock open and entered, guiding himself using a torchlight. He then dropped Mu Wansheng onto the couch. As soon as she fell onto the couch, the thick layers of dust sprung up high into the air.
He could not stay here any longer. Just as he was about to leave, Mu Wansheng’s mobile phone began to ring.
Zong Jingyi turned around and searched her for her mobile phone. He unlocked it to see that her wallpaper was a photo of her and another man behaving intimately, and the contact that was calling her was saved as “My Dearest”— the exact same way his ex-girlfriend used to address him. He kept his eyes fixed onto the screen with his temples throbbing.
He smashed the mobile phone onto the ground and crushed it beneath his foot, causing the ringing to cease abruptly. Zong Jingyi then stuffed the mobile phone into his pocket and changed his mind.
He picked Mu Wansheng up again and strode out of the house.
He zoomed away in his car and sped toward a remote hill where there was not a single soul in sight. He then dragged her out of the car and dumped her into the woods, not forgetting to leave a note in her pocket before leaving.
Back in Wei Ni Estate, Fan Shixin was monitoring Zong Jingyi’s whereabouts using the GPS tracking system. He said to An Xiaoning, “Young Madam, what is that Zong Jingyi doing in such a dilapidated place? Did he kill someone and decided to dump the corpse there?”
“No idea. Shixin, you and Xiao Bai go to this location later to see if there’s anything unusual.”
“Okay.”
....
When Mu Wansheng regained her consciousness, she was greeted with pitch darkness before her eyes. She was lying motionlessly on the ground with tears streaming down her face incessantly. She wanted to move but could not gather the energy to do so.
When a bird started chirping all of a sudden, she got a huge fright and curled up into a ball.
The first thought that came to her mind was, Did my family dump me in this remote jungle?
She subconsciously moved her hand inside her pocket and fumbled about for her mobile phone. She heaved a sigh of relief the moment she felt it. However, her relief was short-lived, and she tensed up again immediately the moment she saw that her mobile phone had been shattered.
There was no way she could call for help at all.
Not a single chance.
Her immense fear and desire to live compelled her to bear with the pain and continue crawling away.
However, there was barely enough space for her to move about, and she felt as if she had been drowned in the vast ocean, struggling to swim to the surface of the water but to no avail.
Unable to contain her agony at the thought of her mother’s actions, Mu Wansheng burst into tears. Why is it so difficult for me to pursue my own happiness!?!
Just as she was weeping and bawling incessantly, a sudden light shone in her direction. Mu Wansheng squinted to see that a car was being driven toward her.
Her joy was soon replaced by fear and panic.
It must be those people who had dumped me here!
She struggled to roll toward the side. After trying to do so for a while, she noticed that the people were alighting from the car. She immediately continued rolling. To her astonishment, she rolled downwards rapidly all of a sudden.
“Ah!!!”
After screaming loudly at the top of her lungs, Mu Wansheng fell onto the ground with a loud thud. She shivered and twitched in unbearable pain while sinking her nails into the soil. The pain worsened tremendously, and Mu Wansheng felt that she was about to die.
All her hopes were dashed, and she remained lying on the ground, unable to move an inch at all.
A torch was being shone on her, and a familiar-sounding voice asked, “Are you alright?”
Mu Wansheng looked up at him, trying to recall where she had heard his voice before. However, she could barely catch a glimpse and she had no idea if she should speak up.
She was afraid that the man was the perpetrator who had dumped her here.
Who else would be here at such a late hour?
It was more likely that it’d be a thug. Hence, Mu Wansheng remained silent.
However, Fan Shixin did not leave just because she chose to keep quiet, especially since his agenda was to check for any victims who might have been harmed by Zong Jingyi. The shriek that he had heard just now further confirmed his guess.
He had to go down to take a look, regardless of whether she was dead or alive.
However, the hill was too steep.
“Chief, do we go down?” Xiao Bai asked.
“Yes. Xiao Bai, go back to the car to get the rope.”
“Alright.” Xiao Bai turned around and began sprinting toward the car.
Soon, he returned with the rope. Xiao Bai stood on top of the hill with one hand on the rope while Fan Shixin grabbed onto the rest of the rope and began making his descent down the hill.
When he finally caught sight of what was below the hill, Fan Shixin shone his torchlight at Mu Wansheng and yelled, “Xiao Bai, there’s a woman here!”
“Is she dead?”
“No idea, I’ll go down to take a look.”
Mu Wansheng moved her head toward the soil and kept her eyes tightly shut while playing dead. She could sense that he was approaching from above.
Fan Shixin squatted down beside her and swallowed his saliva. He then moved her head over, only to get a great shock the moment he saw her face. He yelled at Xiao Bai, “It’s Mu Wansheng!”
“Ah, is she dead, then?” Xiao Bai asked.
Just as Fan Shixin was about to place a finger below Mu Wansheng’s nose, she opened her eyes and stared at him tearfully.
“Ms. Mu... are you alright?”
“Chief... Fan?” asked Mu Wansheng, who did not expect to see him at all. No one would be able to understand how she felt at this very moment. She felt as if she had just received a verdict claiming that her life would be spared while being strapped to a guillotine.
It was an unforgettable feeling.
“It’s me. What are you doing here?”
Fan Shixin flipped her over and placed his arm below her head in a bid to pick her up. However, she winced in pain and said, “It hurts... I can’t sit up...”
Fan Shixin immediately paused his actions and yelled at Xiao Bai, “She’s still alive. Xiao Bai, go back immediately and bring two more bodyguards and a foldable stretcher here!”
