Chapter 253 Something's Wrong with Her

Lu Yanzhi was met with another punch.

"She is free!" Huo Yanmo roared.

Even the usually calm and composed Huo Yanmo felt like he was going crazy at this moment.

From receiving the driver's call from the kindergarten, to investigating and learning that Lu Yanzhi had kidnapped Shi Nian and their current location, to him leading his men to break down the door.

Then he heard her pitiful screams and told someone to wait at the door. He rushed in and saw the scene.

All of this made it impossible for him to remain calm.

Lu Yanzhi actually did this!

They actually tried to force themselves on Shi Nian!

Huo Yanmo glanced at Lu Yanzhi's already unbuckled belt buckle. If he had been just a little later...

Shi Nian was still screaming unconsciously, her screams interspersed with a few words—"Please..."

Huo Yanmo kicked Lu Yanzhi's leg one last time to make sure Lu Yanzhi was temporarily unable to move, then quickly ran back to the bedside and untied Shi Nian.

But she doesn't seem to recognize him anymore.

"Nian Nian!"

Huo Yanmo cupped her face in his hands, making her look at him.

But as soon as he touched her, she screamed hoarsely.

Huo Yanmo's heart was breaking.

“It’s me, Niannian, it’s me, Huo Yanmo.” Huo Yanmo’s eyes were red.

Anger, heartache, self-blame... all these emotions almost drove him crazy.

"I chased him away," Huo Yanmo comforted her. "You're safe now, Niannian."

But Shi Nian still didn't recognize him. She was trembling violently, her face covered in tears and Lu Yanzhi's blood, looking incredibly pitiful.

"It's alright, Niannian, it's alright." Huo Yanmo's tears streamed down his face.

“Niannian, don’t be afraid, I’m here.” He said, gently comforting her, “Niannian, I am Huo Yanmo. Remember, you still have Sisi. We still need to find out the truth about your father Shi Yichen’s death. You have to be okay…”

Tears kept falling, and Shi Nian only paused slightly when she heard the names of Si Si and Shi Yichen.

Her chest heaved, and the violent trembling made her jaw chatter.

She turned her head as if sensing something and looked at Huo Yanmo.

"Yan Mo." Her voice was low and hoarse.

“It’s me,” Huo Yanmo said, his eyes red.

Shi Nian closed her eyes and sobbed helplessly.

"It's alright, I'm here," Huo Yanmo said, choking back tears, and then straightened her clothes.

Lu Yanzhi's bloodstains were still on her body, and there was a ring of teeth marks on the mole on her chest.

Seeing this, Huo Yanmo kicked Lu Yanzhi hard again.

Huo Yanmo put her undergarments on and straightened her skirt, but all the buttons on her top had popped off and couldn't be straightened at all.

Shi Nian was still trembling, and Huo Yanmo knew that he had to get her away from here as soon as possible.

She was acting very strangely just now.

So he pulled the sheet over from the side, wrapped her up, picked her up, and started to walk out.

"Don't leave!" Lu Yanzhi limped to his feet to stop him.

Then, what awaited him was another vicious kick from Huo Yanmo.

Lu Yanzhi fell to the ground with a thud.

Looking up, all I saw was Huo Yanmo's icy, chilling eyes.

"This matter won't just end like this!" Huo Yanmo's voice was icy.

Lu Yanzhi was still smiling.

"What a madman!" Huo Yanmo said as he left, then picked up Shi Nian and strode away.

Lu Yanzhi was left alone here.

He was still laughing, laughing so hard that tears kept streaming down his face.

Maybe.

He's been insane for a long time.

...

Huo Yanmo carried Shi Nian the whole way.

The people he brought were waiting at the door.

Although they heard the commotion inside, no one dared to go in.

Seeing Huo Yanmo holding Shi Nian, who was wrapped in a blanket, they all lowered their heads, not daring to look.

"Take care of things here," Huo Yanmo said coldly. He looked at the person beside him and emphasized, "Don't let him get away with this!"

"Yes!" the group replied immediately.

Huo Yanmo did not stay; the person in his arms was still trembling slightly.

He carried Shi Nian all the way to the car, and the secretary panicked when she saw this.

"Drive back to the Huo residence," Huo Yanmo said coldly.

"yes!"

Huo Yanmo gently placed Shi Nian on the back seat, as if she were a precious, fragile treasure, afraid that she would break if he used the slightest force.

She had just sat in the car when she shrank into a corner, curling up into a small ball.

Huo Yanmo's heart broke when he saw her like this.

The secretary dared not look any longer, raised the partition, and started the car.

The car drove forward.

Huo Yanmo kept trying to comfort her softly, but she kept trembling.

It just won't stop.

Huo Yanmo took out his phone and sent a message to the doctor.

Her condition is very bad; she needs to see a doctor.

The car quickly arrived at the Huo residence.

He drove straight to their building and carried her inside.

"Uncle Mo, how is Aunt Xiaonian?" Sisi asked anxiously as she followed him out.

Huo Yanmo shook his head and said, "Your Aunt Xiaonian is in a bad mood right now. Sisi, would you like to play with Aunt Wu for a while?"

Sisi also noticed something was wrong, so she nodded, but kept looking at her with concern.

Huo Yanmo carried Shi Nian all the way to the room, put her on the bed, and then opened the blanket.

"Niannian?" Huo Yanmo called her again.

Shi Nian neither looked up nor responded; she simply hugged herself and curled up into a ball.

Huo Yanmo felt a tearing pain in his heart. He fetched a basin of warm water, took a damp towel, and said, "Niannian, let me wipe the blood off for you, okay?"

Her face was covered in tears and Lu Yanzhi's blood.

Shi Nian then raised her head, but still hadn't spoken.

Huo Yanmo tried wiping her face with a towel.

Shi Nian flinched, but didn't scream.

Huo Yanmo wiped her face, and she didn't flinch anymore, but just trembled slightly.

Huo Yanmo let out a long sigh. She had been trembling ever since she arrived at that apartment.

Her eyes were red, so Huo Yanmo washed and wrung out a towel and carefully wiped her face again.

After wiping the blood off her face, he wiped the blood off her neck and chest.

Every time he wiped her, she would shrink back. She kept looking at him, as if only in this way could she confirm the person in front of her.

After wiping away the bloodstains, Huo Yanmo gave her a nightgown.

"Get a good night's sleep," Huo Yanmo comforted softly. "Forget all of this, nothing happened, Niannian, it's all in the past."

However, Shi Nian did not accept it.

“I…” Her voice was hoarse and trembling as she said, “I want to take a shower.”

Huo Yanmo nodded, his eyes red: "Okay, I'll turn down the water for you."

The water was quickly filled, and Huo Yanmo carried Shi Nian into the bathroom.

Shi Nian couldn't stand up at all, so Huo Yanmo placed her on the edge of the bathtub.

"I'll be guarding you at the door, don't be afraid," Huo Yanmo said, then turned and walked outside.

Shi Nian watched him leave before taking off her clothes and slowly sitting in the bathtub, leaning against the wall.

Hot water submerged her body, and tears fell once again.

Her wrist was red and it hurt constantly when it came into contact with water, but she seemed not to feel anything.

She kept washing her body.

She scrubbed very hard, until her skin turned red. In the end, she even grabbed a bath sponge and scrubbed vigorously, until her skin broke and bled, staining the water red with blood. Her skin burned with pain.

"Why are you doing this to me..."

Tears kept dripping into the water, and Shi Nian sobbed silently.
