After such a fright, Lin Yue had nightmares all night, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Song Yunzheng hugged her tightly, his heart aching, and gently patted her back. "Yueyue, Yueyue, it's alright, I'm here..."
Lin Yue acted as if she hadn't heard, still immersed in her nightmare, "Don't come any closer, don't come any closer..."
Just then, Lin Yue suddenly kicked him hard in the groin. "Hiss..." Song Yunzheng cried out in pain, his face contorting in agony. It hurt! It hurt a lot! It hurt terribly! But he dared not make a sound, and could only grit his teeth and endure it, secretly lamenting: Little girl, you really know how to pick a spot to kick.
That wasn't all. Lin Yue hadn't fully regained consciousness and kicked out with her other foot, this time with all her might. Song Yunzheng was prepared this time and quickly dodged to the side. Although he successfully avoided it, his movement was too hasty, and he rolled off the bed onto the floor, making intimate contact with it.
With a loud bang, Lin Yue was instantly awakened. She opened her eyes abruptly, only to find everything pitch black. She reached out and touched the side, but couldn't find Song Yunzheng. She immediately burst into tears in fear.
"Yueyue, don't cry, don't cry, I'm here, I'm here."
Ignoring the pain, Song Yunzheng quickly climbed onto the bed and held her tightly in his arms. "What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"
"Yeah, in my dream someone was chasing me, holding a knife, trying to cut me. I ran as fast as I could, but I felt like I couldn't run fast no matter how hard I tried. So I tried to kick him, but I missed and fell face-first into the mud..."
Song Yunzheng felt both sorry for her and amused. Poor girl, he gently patted her back. "It's alright, it was just a dream. Besides, the person you kicked was me. You kicked me off the bed. You're quite the kicker."
Song Yunzheng teased her on purpose, trying to make her relax.
"Honey, I'm still scared when I think about it. Someone actually wanted to kill me? It's terrifying. I'm only twenty years old. I haven't lived enough yet. I'm most afraid of dying..."
"Don't worry, with me here, this will never happen again."
Song Yunzheng never imagined that making promises lightly could backfire.
"Husband, why is someone trying to kill me?" Lin Yue trembled as she recalled the gleaming dagger aimed straight at her, a chill running down her spine.
"It's not your problem, it's just that someone is ungrateful and has no desire to live, so they're courting death." Song Yunzheng's eyes were devoid of any warmth as he spoke.
The woman deliberately shielded him from the knife at the hospital and answered his phone call to sow discord between him and Lin Yue, creating conflict between them. This suited her perfectly, giving her the opportunity to hire someone to kill him.
Meng Wanning is quite cunning, but she's still too inexperienced to play legal games with him.
Song Yunzheng reached out and patted Lin Yue's head. "Be good, don't think too much, go to sleep. I'll take care of things. For your safety, don't go to Chengye's place anymore. You can go next summer vacation, and you can bring your good friend with you."
Lin Yue nodded and nestled in his arms, falling asleep peacefully.
The next day, Song Yunzheng insisted on taking Lin Yue to Courtyard No. 15 and handing her over to Zhou Lirong before he could go to work with peace of mind.
After learning the situation, Song Xinian entered the study with a dark face, and soon his stern reprimand could be heard from inside...
Lin Yue turned around and asked softly, "Mom, is Dad angry?"
"Of course we're angry. But this is also to make them take it seriously and investigate the case thoroughly. There must be someone behind the murderer. Just catching the murderer isn't enough; we have to uproot the mastermind behind it all."
"Ah, what is there for bad people to covet in my life?"
Zhou Lirong smiled gently, "Don't overthink it. It's absolutely safe here. The New Year is coming soon, so you can stay here and relax until then."
Lin Yue nodded obediently, "Okay."
At the hospital, Song Yunzheng sat in front of his computer, his brows slightly furrowed, carefully reviewing the investigation results sent by Qin Yue.
He glanced through the call logs and found nothing suspicious; they were all normal communications. Other investigative information revealed that she had contacted a man named Kun before she went abroad, but there were no other contacts at that time.
"They really are cunning..." Song Yunzheng squinted, his fingers tapping the table intentionally or unintentionally.
After a moment of silence, he picked up his phone, walked to the window, and dialed President Chen of B University...
——
A few days later, Meng Wanning had just returned home after being discharged from the hospital when she received a dismissal notice from the school. The reason given was that she had problems with her lifestyle and was not fit to be a teacher. The school was determined to eliminate such a person from the workforce.
Not only that, she was also publicly criticized within the education sector, effectively blacklisting her.
With a single phone call, Song Yunzheng severed her proud career. He wanted to make it impossible for her to survive in China; he wanted to peel away her skin layer by layer.
"Ah!!! Why! Why?!" Meng Wanning angrily slammed her phone to the ground.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Amy rushed into the room upon hearing the noise, her face full of worry.
"My job... I've lost my job... I studied for so many years and finally got this decent job, but now I'm being told I'm being fired!" Meng Wanning's eyes were bloodshot as she frantically smashed whatever she could reach around her.
"Wanwan, calm down. You just got out of the hospital, don't hurt yourself again! It's just a job, you can find another one. If B University doesn't work out, you can go to another university."
Meng Wanning wouldn't listen. She suddenly looked up and shouted, "How can I change?! Tell me how! I've been blacklisted by the entire industry! What school would want me?!"
