The call was abruptly ended. Song Yunzheng gripped the steering wheel tighter and tighter, veins bulging on his forehead, his face grim and terrifying.
He slammed on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow. The relief he had just felt at the police station was reignited by Song Yunxi's words, leaving him feeling suffocated and tight in his chest again!
The night was deep and dark, the dim streetlights weakly illuminating the silent alley. The darkness was like a huge curtain, capturing all light and color, and a suffocating silence filled the air.
Lin Yue had left her phone and bag at the bar, and she didn't dare go back to get them. She was penniless and had no phone. For safety reasons, the traffic police took her directly to No. 1 Courtyard. Before leaving, they specifically told her, "Go back and explain the situation to your parents. Children shouldn't go out alone at night; it's very dangerous!"
Lin Yue nodded shyly, wanting to say, "I'm twenty years old now, not a child anymore." After watching the traffic policeman walk away, she turned and went upstairs.
Lin Yue arrived home safely, while the Song siblings were still frantically searching for her on the streets.
The first thing she did when she got home was to find her spare phone and call Song Yunzheng. It rang only once before he answered quickly, "Yueyue! Where are you?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Lin Yue's feigned composure crumbled instantly, and her voice involuntarily trembled with a hint of tears, "I'm at home, haven't you gotten off work yet?"
Thinking about how she almost died and almost never saw him again, she couldn't help but want to cry. In the face of life and death, nothing else mattered; she just wanted to see him as soon as possible.
"Stay home and wait for me, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Song Yunzheng did not inform Song Yunxi immediately, deliberately letting her continue searching and worrying, as a small punishment for her.
After returning home and finishing the phone call, Lin Yue sat blankly on the sofa, her eyes vacant, clearly still recovering from the shock she had just experienced.
A moment later, the sound of the door opening came from behind her. Lin Yue was instantly awakened, sat up abruptly, and quickly walked towards the door.
Before she could even speak, she was already in a familiar embrace. Song Yunzheng held her tightly in his arms, so tightly that he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
This feeling of regaining something lost was even more profound than the last time. The time Duan Yulong was only after money, so there was room for negotiation. But this time, the other party wanted Lin Yue's life!
What if… he didn’t even dare to think about it…
"Honey, I...I thought...I would never see you again."
Lin Yue choked up, clutching Song Yunzheng's clothes tightly with both hands. She broke down as soon as she opened her mouth, tears streaming down her face like a flood that had been turned on, soaking his shirt.
Song Yunzheng cradled her head, gently kissed her forehead, and softly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, we're at home now." The poor girl was terrified, and his heart ached for her.
After she finished showering, Song Yunzheng learned that she was injured. Her thighs, arms, and especially her back were covered in bruises. She had not only fallen, but had also been trampled on by the crowd several times.
Song Yunzheng's anger intensified even further!
After comforting Lin Yue to sleep, Song Yunzheng picked up his phone and went to the balcony. His cold, icy eyes gazed at the deep night outside the window as he dialed a number.
"Hey, boss."
"Qin Yue, immediately investigate Meng Wanning's recent call records, including everything she did before she went abroad and her experiences there. Dig up all her secrets!"
