Chapter 202 Experiencing the Death of the Original Owner
When Xia Yuhuan regained consciousness.
I found myself lying on the operating table.
"The higher-ups have instructed us that we must save her life."
"But wasn't it already announced that she jumped to her death? Why go to all the trouble to save her?"
"Why do you care so much? Just do as I say."
Then, Xia Yuhuan experienced the long cycle of day and night.
They watched helplessly as the original owner gradually recovered from the brink of death, her vital signs stabilized, and she successfully survived.
Xia Yuhuan was somewhat confused.
If the original owner of this body didn't die after jumping off the building, why does the book say that she died after jumping off the building?
Furthermore, there was not a single word written about her after her death?
Who exactly went to such lengths to save the original owner of this body?
Xia Yuhuan felt that her mind was full of huge mysteries, and she couldn't figure it out no matter what she did.
She thought that once the original owner was saved, she could finally live a normal, good life.
Little did they expect that what followed would be the most painful and endless darkness.
The other party saved the original owner not out of kindness, but only to torment her.
They wanted to keep the original owner alive so that he could experience their inhuman torment and pain.
She heard the original owner's pitiful cries and pleas for mercy.
"Please, please let me go! What have I done to offend you? Why are you treating me like this?"
"Blame yourself for not listening and offending the wrong person!"
"Now that people are angry, you naturally have to obediently bear their anger."
"Kill me, please kill me, I don't want to live anymore." When the original owner's pleas for mercy failed, he began to beg for death.
However, the other party still showed no sign of backing down.
Initially, the experiments were conducted directly on the original owner of the body.
Various terrifying liquids were injected into the original owner's body, causing her skin to change color, her blood vessels to swell and become congested, and then return to normal.
Later, they began experimenting on various parts of the original owner's body.
Their hands and feet were cut off, and their internal organs were also dissected out one by one for research.
Their methods were so cruel that they repeatedly made the original owner feel the pain of being cut by a dull knife while she was still conscious.
They truly succeeded, leaving the original owner unable to live or die.
As Xia Yuhuan felt the pain the original owner had experienced, her soul trembled uncontrollably.
No wonder, no wonder!
No wonder that in her dream the other time, she saw a soul that the original owner had barely pieced together, resembling a rag doll.
It turns out that she had suffered such painful torment before her death.
The original owner was tortured to death in this way.
"No, no, don't..."
Xia Yuhuan lay on the bed, tears streaming down her face, turning her head repeatedly as if she were experiencing immense pain.
"Ayu, Ayu, what's wrong, Ayu?"
Chi Yanzhou was awakened by the noise, turned on the light, and saw Xia Yuhuan like this. He quickly nudged her gently and called her name.
Xia Yuhuan finally struggled to wake up from the nightmare.
The moment I opened my eyes, they were filled with pain and tears.
"Chi Yanzhou..." Xia Yuhuan called out to him in a choked voice, tears welling up in her eyes.
"I'm here, Ayu, I'm here." Chi Yanzhou held her in his arms and comforted her gently.
"Did you have a nightmare? Don't be afraid, I'm here with you."
Xia Yuhuan hugged him, sobbing uncontrollably.
She couldn't tell him that she wasn't just having nightmares anymore.
She had just experienced the original owner's tragic death in her dream.
That tragic and torturous death, even now that I'm awake, my soul seems to be suffering and in pain.
Xia Yuhuan was trembling all over, completely unable to control herself.
She felt so sorry for the original owner of this body.
What did that girl do wrong to deserve such inhuman treatment?
Just because she refused to be given to an old man to be abused and chose to end her own life in protest, does she deserve to be treated like this?
Chi Yanzhou was heartbroken.
He didn't know what she was dreaming about that caused her such pain.
But he knew very well that she needed his company at this time.
"Don't be afraid, it's all over now. I'm here with you," Chi Yanzhou whispered gently.
This was probably the gentlest voice he had ever heard in his life.
It's so gentle it's almost intoxicating.
With his warm embrace and gentle comfort, Xia Yuhuan finally broke free from that pain.
But the hatred in my heart was overwhelming.
No wonder the original owner, on the verge of disappearing, desperately urged her to be careful.
It turns out the person behind it all was a psychopath.
I just don't know who that person is to the Chi family.
Xia Yuhuan had absolutely no clue.
They couldn't ask Chi Yanzhou and Chi Shaokang for help with the investigation.
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Ayu, what are you so anxious about? Is there anything I can do to help?" Chi Yanzhou asked gently.
Xia Yuhuan gently shook her head: "No."
She only knew the surname of the person surnamed 'Chi' who was behind the death of the original owner; she had no idea what his name was or whether he was a member of the Chi Yanzhou family.
Even if she were willing to trust Chi Yanzhou and ask him for help, she would still be completely clueless at this point.
After all, none of these things have actually happened in this lifetime.
How could she ask Chi Yanzhou to find someone to help investigate something that was unknown to her?
Upon hearing this, Chi Yanzhou pursed his lips slightly.
He knew that Xia Yuhuan was hiding something from him.
But he didn't press further. Instead, he said, "Do you want to get up, wipe the sweat off your body, and then go back to sleep?"
Xia Yuhuan did feel sticky and uncomfortable all over.
Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go wash myself. You should go to sleep early."
With that, Xia Yuhuan got up and went to the bathroom.
Chi Yanzhou watched her figure disappear from sight, his gaze gradually darkening through the door.
Just now, when Xia Yuhuan was having a nightmare, she kept shouting "No, don't do this to her!" Who exactly is this "her"?
Is she really just dreaming?
Or perhaps it was someone or something connected to reality that entered the dream?
Chi Yanzhou couldn't figure it out, but he was very clear that his wife had a secret.
He pursed his lips, forcing himself not to overthink or entertain any inappropriate thoughts.
After taking a shower, Xia Yuhuan tiptoed to the bed and got in.
As soon as she lay down, Chi Yanzhou reached out and pulled her into his arms.
"Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first? Why didn't you listen?" Xia Yuhuan asked gently.
"I'll wait for you to come with me, and I'll hold you while you sleep, so you won't have nightmares again," Chi Yanzhou replied.
In the darkness, Xia Yuhuan's face flushed slightly.
She and Chi Yanzhou hadn't actually reached the point of confessing their feelings and becoming a normal, intimate married couple.
But when he held her like that, she didn't resist at all.
That's fine, let it be.
Perhaps feelings will develop over time.
One day, either she or he will confess their feelings.
She believed that they were compatible and had a future together.
Xia Yuhuan took a light breath, closed her eyes, and went to sleep.
