Chapter 283 I Can't Hold On Anymore
At this moment, my back was soaked with cold sweat, and my clothes stuck to my skin, bringing a chill.
Jiang Yichen glanced at me with a hint of concern in his eyes: "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and forced a smile: "It's okay, just a little nervous."
We walked out from behind the shelf carefully. Jiang Yichen picked up the wooden box full of evidence and motioned for me to follow.
The moment I walked out of the basement, the night breeze brushed across my cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness, but making me feel extremely sober. I guess the situation outside has been controlled.
However, just as we were about to approach the car, a low engine sound suddenly came from the distance. Jiang Yichen quickly pulled me and hid behind a big tree. I held my breath, my fingers tightly grasped his sleeves, and my heartbeat quickened again.
"It might be someone from the Jin family." Jiang Yichen said in a low voice, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.
I nodded, feeling nervous. At this moment, the phone in my pocket vibrated. I quickly took out my phone and saw a message from Xu Sisi on the screen: "It's safe now."
I put away my phone.
After finally getting rid of this wave of attacks, we finally found the pregnant woman Li in a dim basement. She was pale and leaning weakly against the wall, with the child beside her crying.
I hurried forward and comforted her softly, "Sister Li, don't be afraid, we are here to save you."
Tears welled up in the eyes of pregnant woman Li, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, I thought... I couldn't hold on any longer..."
At this moment, the Jin family's bodyguards seemed to realize that our target was the pregnant woman Li, and began to rush towards the basement more frantically. The police and bodyguards resisted with all their might to buy us time.
I put away my phone and was about to tell Jiang Yichen the news from Xu Sisi, but his eyes suddenly became stern and he motioned for me to be quiet.
Following his gaze, I saw that the boss of the Jin family had been standing in front of us, surrounded by a group of ferocious bodyguards. He had a sinister smile on his face, as if he had already expected that we would come out from here.
"Want to leave? Not that easy." The voice of the Jin family's eldest brother was like a poisoned blade, cutting through the silence of the night.
Jiang Yichen protected me behind him and whispered, "Look for a chance later, you run first. I'll stop them."
My heart tightened, and I was about to retort, but my hand unconsciously touched my slightly bulging belly. Thinking of the baby in my belly, I swallowed the words that came to my lips. But how could I leave him alone to face danger?
The Jin family's bodyguards pounced on us like hungry wolves. In an emergency, I didn't want to be outdone. I picked up a wooden stick on the ground and swung it at the approaching bodyguards.
In the chaos, I caught a glimpse of the Jin family boss's eyes fixed on me. The murderous intent in his eyes made me shudder. He seized an opportunity, got rid of the bodyguards around him, and rushed towards me.
I was startled and wanted to dodge, but the burden on my abdomen made me move slowly. I tripped over something on the ground and fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was something nearby to help me.
The boss of the Jin family grinned, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and stabbed at me. At the critical moment, Jiang Yichen shouted, "Be careful!" He struggled to get rid of the bodyguards around him and rushed towards me. But he was still a step too slow, and the dagger stabbed into his arm fiercely.
A sharp pain suddenly hit me, and I felt a black screen in front of my eyes. I almost fainted. The pain in my abdomen and the worry about my child made me almost collapse.
Jiang Yichen roared like a mad lion, pounced on the head of the Jin family and wrestled with him.
"Whoever dares to come over here, I will fight him!" Jiang Yichen hugged the head of the Jin family tightly and glared at the bodyguards around him. His voice carried an unquestionable deterrent force.
Seeing this, the bodyguards stopped and looked at each other, not daring to act rashly.
At this time, police sirens were heard in the distance, and Officer Zhang arrived in time with a team of police officers. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the bodyguards of the Jin family laid down their weapons and surrendered.
Jiang Yichen didn't care about the eldest son of the Jin family. He quickly ran to my side, picked me up, and shouted anxiously: "Hold on, you and the baby will be fine."
I endured the severe pain and looked at his worried eyes, my vision blurred by tears. The pain in my abdomen came in waves like a tide, and I bit my lips tightly, fearing that I would faint.
"Don't talk, save your energy." Jiang Yichen said, holding me and running towards the police car.
On the way to the hospital, I felt my consciousness becoming increasingly blurred. In my ears were Jiang Yichen's anxious cries and the sound of sirens.
I could feel his hands trembling slightly. I felt so guilty towards him and even more worried about the safety of the baby in his belly.
When I woke up again, I was already lying on a hospital bed. The white ceiling and the smell of disinfectant made me realize that I was still alive.
"You finally woke up." Jiang Yichen's voice was full of fatigue and joy. I turned my head and saw him guarding my bed, his eyes were full of bloodshot, and there were still traces of tears on his face.
"How are they?" I asked weakly, my heart filled with fear.
"The doctor said the child is fine and very strong. You made it through it too. Pregnant woman Li and the child are also safe. The evidence has been safely delivered to Officer Zhang. The Jin family is completely finished this time." Jiang Yichen held my hand and spoke softly, his eyes full of heartache.
I breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling up in my eyes. Jiang Yichen gently wiped my tears away, put my hand on his cheek, and said affectionately: "Don't take risks again in the future. I can't lose either of you."
I can't help but feel that after so many hardships, we finally defeated the Jin family, and I cherish the man in front of me and the little life in my belly even more. There may be storms in the future, but as long as we are together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
On this day, the Jin family court was in session. The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to be pressing down. Thick dark clouds covered the entire city, and the air was filled with a sense of oppression. I sat in the audience, holding Jiang Yichen's hand tightly with my fingers, and my palm was slightly sweaty. His palm was warm and strong, as if silently telling me: everything will be fine.
The atmosphere in the courtroom was so solemn that it was suffocating. Everyone's eyes were focused on the judge's seat, waiting for the final verdict.
When Lin Shu was brought to the witness stand, my heart sank. Her back was hunched, as if she had aged ten years overnight. Her steps were slow, and each one felt like walking on the edge of a knife, heavy and difficult.
"Lin Shu, do you admit the crime you have committed?" The judge's voice was cold and majestic.
Lin Shu lowered her head and remained silent for a few seconds. Then she slowly raised her head and said in a hoarse and trembling voice: "I... plead guilty."
There was an uproar in the courtroom, and low voices of discussion came from the audience. I felt Jiang Yichen's hand tighten slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Lin Shu, with anger and complexity in his eyes.
"Back then... the Jin family threatened me with my son's life,"
Lin Shu's voice was choked with sobs, and tears rolled down her wrinkled cheeks. "They asked me to tamper with Jiang's account books, and to inject those children..." She couldn't continue, she covered her face with her hands, and her shoulders trembled violently.
