Chapter 268 No One Will Care About You
Jiang Zhiyue's mind went blank for a moment, but the feeling in her hand was not deceiving. This was not an iron chain, but a nylon cable tie. It became tighter and tighter the more she pulled it.
Someone approached her stealthily and grabbed her neck in the blink of an eye. Jiang Zhiyue understood instantly, could it be... this was an elaborate trap, waiting for her to fall into it.
Sheng Huaian?
Jiang Zhiyue herself didn't know why this name suddenly flashed through her mind.
I don’t know if it was the feeling of suffocation, but the space in my eyes seemed to fold. The staff, doctors and nurses who were coming and going in the corridor and passing by her disappeared in an instant, and the door of the nearest ward was tightly closed.
The gift box rolled down the stairs, making a sudden noise that failed to alarm anyone.
Jiang Zhiyue had no time to call for help and her body kept leaning backwards. At this moment, many faces flashed through her mind, including Lin Jun, Lin Xianer, and even... the kidnapping case in the original plot.
Why was she arrested together with Baek Yeon-joo? Who is the mastermind behind this? Can she really escape?
Jiang Zhiyue didn't know why fate had to be like this. Every time she finally saw a glimmer of hope, she saw that she had the opportunity to help Jiang Wanrou treat her illness and got the promise that she could definitely cure Jiang Wanrou.
She had worked so hard for so long, and just when she was getting closer and closer to the truth, she could reach it if she tried harder, but fate dealt her a heavy blow.
Jiang Zhiyue held the rolling strip tightly. The rolling strip was covered with a layer of fine thorns. She grabbed it hard and the sharp corner sank into her palm.
Jiang Zhiyue endured the pain, forcing the belt to ease the force of the restraint, while reaching back to grab the person behind her.
After her initial struggle, the girl was able to calm herself down and, despite being outnumbered, she still tried desperately to loosen the restraints, which was obviously beyond the attacker's expectations.
He strangled her even harder, and Jiang Zhiyue's screams were squeezed out of her throat as if dry. The hand that reached back had already grabbed the sleeve of the attacker. The finely crafted fabric was not something that ordinary people could afford.
"you......."
They dared to commit murder in public and treated the lives of civilians as worthless.
A fearless attitude.
The entire hospital was so quiet that it seemed to be cooperating with "him", and a strong smell of alcohol wafted through the air.
Jiang Zhiyue quickly thought of her own fate. The attacker killed her, but as a powerful person, he could escape punishment by claiming to be drunk.
"You are..." Jiang Zhiyue's breathing became more and more suffocated, and the rest of the sentence was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it no matter what.
She used all her strength to kick her legs backwards and accidentally kicked the attacker.
The attacker immediately cursed in annoyance, "Ah, damn thing."
"I never thought that a lowly commoner like you would dare me to personally deal with you. Listen carefully, this is your honor."
The attacker watched her struggle with a sneer, his eyes full of contempt and cruelty.
He attempted to push Jiang Zhiyue down from the suspended position at the connection of the stairs with even more brutal force, but fortunately Jiang Zhiyue grabbed the railing.
He swore again.
"Resistance, you really have a rebellious spirit! It's worth it that I have been monitoring you for so long. Do you really think that I will let it go if you and Sheng Huaian punish me together?"
"You know my family's insurance business so well. You've become a heroine among the common people. You must be very proud, right?"
"It's a pity to lose such a pretty face. I wouldn't have wanted to part with it. Now it's your fault..." He offended someone he shouldn't have offended.
If Jiang Zhiyue looked back, she would be shocked to find that this was none other than Master Li who had abused women and children in Xilin Temple.
The man's eyelids were swollen, his face was red, and veins on his neck were bulging, like a demon from hell.
If Jiang Zhiyue looked back at this time, she would find that the other party had obviously taken illegal drugs and was in a state of madness.
He was ruthless and merciless.
He smiled cruelly and gloatingly, "Don't expect Sheng Huaian to come and save you. No one will come to save you."
"You probably don't know yet? He was grounded by Mr. Sheng early in the morning because you were meddling in other people's business."
"Why, didn't he give you any last-minute notice? It seems that you are nothing special. A pariah is a pariah. You can be easily crushed to death like an ant."
"Do you regret it now..."
The man's crazy and vicious voice came close to her ears.
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't utter a word. Her soul felt as if it had been torn apart. No matter how much noise she made, no one appeared.
It's like a foregone death.
There will be no miracle. The moment she extends a helping hand to a stranger, she is destined to be abandoned by this kindness.
What you absolutely cannot have in this world is kindness.
Be a numb, cold-blooded and self-protective person.
Everyone is living a life worse than pigs and dogs, so don't meddle in other people's business. She is already much luckier than most of her peers. She escaped from the slums at the age of eight, escaped the fate of being sold as a socialite and a prostitute, and escaped the fate of being a child laborer.
Does she remember what the initial idea was?
Escape, escape forever.
Never blend in.
Jiang Zhiyue knew exactly what expression the man wanted to see. He even took out his cell phone, ready to take a picture of her tearful confession on her face and share it with people in the circle for them to laugh at and have fun with.
There was no remorse on Jiang Zhiyue's face. When the man was feeling complacent and relaxed, she reached behind her and suddenly pulled off her hairpin and stabbed the back of the attacker's hand.
She used all her strength and acted decisively.
The tip dug into the attacker's bone, causing him to cry out in pain.
"Little bitch!"
Master Li loosened his grip and threw the man aside.
Jiang Zhiyue unexpectedly bumped into the guardrail, with most of her body leaning out, hanging in the air, and almost losing her balance and falling.
She was still gasping for breath, her chest heaving violently, and when she saw the other person rushing towards her, she ran away in panic.
The white building is like a maze from which there is no escape.
No matter how Jiang Zhiyue ran, the person behind her kept chasing her. She was already exhausted, the marks on her neck became more and more obvious, and she kept gasping for breath.
"No one in this world cares about you."
"Because you are lowly and humble. No matter how hard you try, you can't escape your damn fate."
Jiang Zhiyue couldn't tell whether it was the attacker's voice or her own voice.
There was a tightly closed door behind her. With no way to retreat, Jiang Zhiyue heard clearer footsteps echoing between the buildings.
It seemed to be the sound of running.
The footsteps were quick and powerful.
It seemed like someone was trying to stop him.
“Get lost!”
The other party's pace did not slow down at all.
"Zhiyue!" Someone was calling her name loudly.
"Zhiyue!"
The sound was getting closer.
"Jiang Zhiyue!"
