21st-century film empress Xu Xinchen is reborn into the body of Lu Minshi in the 1980s.
Facing a boyfriend who betrayed her and had an affair with her younger sister, and a two-faced stepmoth...
Xu Xinchen smiled and pursed her lips: "Actually, it's not too bad. When I took the rope off, it really hurt a lot, and it hurt even more when they applied the medicine. But after they applied the medicine, it felt okay, within my tolerance range."
Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl didn't develop such a good mindset. They both grew up in ordinary families, although they occasionally had some disagreements with their families.
However, they had only heard about being kidnapped from their families; they had never experienced it themselves, let alone been injured by the kidnapped person.
Now that they saw the wound on Xu Xinchen's wrist, both of them agreed that Xu Xinchen was enduring pain. It looked like the flesh had been squeezed off; how could it not hurt?
Lin Bingchun held Xu Xinchen's hand, feeling more and more heartbroken. This was her first friend after she started working, and her friend was in such great danger, yet she had no idea.
The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt. Lin Bingchun couldn't hold back her tears, which gently fell and landed on Xu Xinchen's wrist.
Xu Xinchen was taken aback. When she looked up, she saw that Lin Bingchun's eyes were still dripping with tears. She immediately reached out to wipe away Lin Bingchun's tears.
"Bingchun, what are you doing? I've already escaped, haven't I? These wounds have all healed, there's nothing wrong with me at all."
Lin Bingchun bit her lip and murmured, "I was scared. Luckily you ran away. If you hadn't run away..."
If I leave, is it possible that I'll never see you again?
Xu Xinchen gave a wry smile. Just as she was about to explain that Sister Hua and her group only wanted money and wouldn't harm her, she saw the short-haired girl next to her stomp her foot indignantly.
"Is there even a need to ask this question? Kidnappers are basically inhuman. They might demand money from their victims, and after getting the money, they might even take their lives so they can escape with peace of mind."
After hearing what the short-haired girl said, Lin Bingchun's tears fell even harder. Xu Xinchen was both amused and exasperated by the two people's reactions. She was the one who had been kidnapped, but these two people seemed to be more upset and angry than she was.
However, seeing Lin Bingchun's tears, Xu Xinchen didn't have the mind to think about those messy things anymore. She reached out and helped Lin Bingchun wipe away her tears before speaking.
"Actually, that's not the case. Although I was a little scared during the few days I was kidnapped, I've been doing quite well."
Xu Xinchen continued, without waiting for the short-haired girl and Lin Bingchun to reply, "That man named Zhao Jun is a really good person. He took good care of me during the time I was kidnapped."
"Zhao Jun helped me untie the ropes on my hands and feet, and he also gave me the medicine powder and bandages, which is why my wounds healed so quickly. Otherwise, I would probably still be tied up and locked in that room, with no chance to escape."
As Xu Xinchen spoke, she lowered her voice and gently coaxed Lin Bingchun, "It's true. He's always been very helpful to me. There's this violent man called Lao San who always tried to hit me, and he's the one who protected me several times."
…”
Xu Xinchen softly recounted everything that had happened to Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl, clearly stating that she hadn't suffered too much. Only then did Lin Bingchun's tears finally stop.
The short-haired girl also seemed very touched: "I really didn't expect that the man who seemed so carefree was actually such a kind-hearted person."
When Xu Xinchen heard what the short-haired girl said, she felt something was off. She turned around and saw that the short-haired girl's face was full of longing. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt like something was out of control.
However, there was no time for Xu Xinchen to think it over. In the time it took to talk, the three of them finally arrived at the foot of the mountain. Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl each held one of Xu Xinchen's arms.
Just as they were about to walk out along the road, they saw what seemed to be people talking at the foot of the mountain. The three of them quickly changed their plans and moved to a more secluded spot.
After the three of them hid and avoided another group of people coming upstairs, Lin Bingchun asked, "Min Shi, what are you going to do now? Do you need us to take you home?"
The short-haired girl chimed in, "Yeah, we're already at the foot of the mountain. Why don't we take you home? It's too dangerous for you to go back alone. With the two of us there, we can at least help protect you a bit."
Xu Xinchen felt a warmth in her heart. How could she not understand what the two of them meant? However, she wasn't in a hurry to go home. She wanted to go to the police station first.
After hearing Xu Xinchen's decision, the short-haired girl and Lin Bingchun did not object. Indeed, it was more important to report the case to the police station first, otherwise who knew if those people would continue to chase after them.
The three of them huddled together, went outside to the main road, hailed a tricycle, and sped towards the police station. All the way, Xu Xinchen kept her head down, afraid of running into Sister Hua on the way back to the mountain.
After hearing Xu Xinchen's concerns, the short-haired girl and Lin Bingchun did their best to shield her face. Later, after Sister Hua was arrested, Xu Xinchen realized that her concerns had actually been helpful.
Not long after Xu Xinchen and the other two got on the tricycle, Sister Hua returned from outside and indeed saw the tricycle. She felt that the people sitting on it looked somewhat familiar.
However, Sister Hua did not expect Xu Xinchen to take the opportunity to escape, so she did not suspect Xu Xinchen at all. Instead, she waited until she reached the top of the mountain before regretting that she should have stopped the tricycle.
The three arrived at the police station, where they were greeted by the same policewoman Xu Xinchen knew very well. The policewoman immediately brought over a cup of hot water and handed it to Xu Xinchen as soon as she saw her.
At the same time, she turned around and made a phone call. Listening to the policewoman's words, Xu Xinchen almost couldn't hold back her tears. Chen Ningsheng…
