"...Mr. Cheng"
Someone is calling her.
"Mr. Cheng, please come with me."
Mu Yiran's eyelids twitched, and her muddled consciousness became clearer and clearer with the sound of the woman's voice.
"This place... is about to collapse."
Collapse?!
Yes, that's Chen Yiting's voice!
Mu Yiran suddenly opened her eyes, her ears ringing and her vision blurred due to blood rushing to her head, making it impossible for her to see anything clearly.
Did Chen Yiting take me away?
What does "collapsed" mean?
Is the hotel about to collapse?
Mu Yiran rolled off the bed haphazardly, thinking about quickly finding Shi Youxi and Ai Ni. Her vision began to clear, and her eyes were filled with dazzling light.
Are they fireworks?
Is she still in the hotel?!
But before Mu Yiran could even feel relieved, she realized that the light flashing before her eyes was not the fireworks she had seen before she lost consciousness.
...but rather, the light spots from the lamp.
It's the nightlight in Mu Yiran's room at the Mu family home.
The colors shifted and flickered through the glass wall, each flash telling Mu Yiran that she had traveled back to 2023.
"how so!"
Mu Yiran suddenly jumped up, pinching and squeezing herself repeatedly, finally confirming that she had indeed traveled back in time ahead of schedule.
Why was it brought forward?
She's on the run for her life right now at the hotel!
Mu Yiran scratched her head. She remembered that she had suddenly fainted, but she hadn't been hit hard. Why did she end up back in time?
Could it be that the medication had expired and its effectiveness had weakened, causing me to wake up earlier than expected?
What about Cheng Ran's health?
He lay there naked in the corridor, with Chen Yiting, who had suddenly turned evil, standing next to him.
Mu Yiran didn't know why Chen Yiting had suddenly changed, but the most important thing now was that Shi Youxi was still waiting for her there!
She didn't even have a chance to tell him...
Ignoring everything else, Mu Yiran rushed out of the bedroom, intending to kneel down and beg Rebecca for another pill.
"Rebecca!"
Hearing a slight noise, Mu Yiran called out loudly as she went downstairs.
"Sister, it seems like your medicine expired this time. I didn't get enough sleep! Could you give me another one?"
Where are they?
"Rebecca?" Mu Yiran glanced around the bright living room, which was empty. "...She's already gone?"
She turned and went upstairs to get her phone from her bedroom to make a call, but then she caught a glimpse of the open door to the study on the second floor.
Mu Yiran stopped in her tracks.
She clearly remembered locking it...
She had just taken a step when her gaze fell on the glass cabinet by the study door.
"..."
Perhaps because she had just been ambushed by Su Tian and Li Ziqi, Mu Yiran felt a chill run down her spine and ran downstairs without thinking!
Hearing the heavy footsteps rushing out from behind her, Mu Yiran felt like a thousand curses were stampeding through her mind!
Damn it!
Being kidnapped in my home before I transmigrated was bad enough, but now that I've transmigrated back, I'm being robbed in my home again?!
This security system is terrible! Mu Yiran has decided that once she escapes, she'll sue it first!
She ran barefoot on the marble floor of the living room, unsure if Zhou Yuan next door would still have her habit of taking selfies on the balcony in the middle of the night. She gathered her strength and was about to shout!
But just as we approached the entrance!
He was abruptly stopped by another man wearing a stocking over his head who suddenly appeared from the side!
The man in stockings covered Mu Yiran's mouth tightly with one hand, glanced at the other man who had caught up, and said:
"It's her! Damn it, didn't you just say you were going out?!"
Another man wearing a mask frowned and leaned closer to take a look at Mu Yiran. "Tsk, you're mistaken."
"Alright, enough nonsense," the masked man said, his eyes darkening, as he dragged Mu Yiran upstairs. "Behave yourself and hand over all your valuables. If you don't have enough money..."
The man in stockings replied in a lewd tone, "Then we'll have to use your sex appeal to pay for it."
"..."
Entering the villa took them quite a bit of time, so they went straight to find the things their employer had asked for without even checking them. They assumed the lady of the house wasn't home, but...
Regardless of the circumstances, he's determined to sleep with this woman. If he can get a photo, his employer will give him another sum of money!
The two men exchanged a glance, both seeing the same ugly desire in each other's eyes.
Mu Yiran had her mouth covered as she watched them walk purposefully toward the study and then stand before the bookshelf.
The masked man opened the cabinet, revealing a metal safe that looked very expensive.
The two men had searched all the rooms on the first and second floors, but this study was the best preserved.
The things employers ask them to find are mostly here.
The masked man commanded in a low voice, "What's the password?"
Mu Yiran's eyes were red and her body was trembling slightly. "There's nothing inside."
Man in stockings: "Bullshit! What's the point of a safe if there's no safe?"
Mu Yiran: "It looks nice and matches the high-class level of this villa."
Man in stockings: "..."
The masked man forcefully grabbed her chin, lifting her face high. "Don't pull it! What's the password!" He patted the woman's face, his gaze traveling down her neck. "Or are you planning to pay with your body?"
"No! I'll open it, I'll open it!" Mu Yiran hesitantly pressed the combination key on the safe, her timid eyes suddenly sharpening for a moment.
"Don't move!" The masked man cautiously pulled her away. "Tell me, I'll open it."
OK.
This is what you wanted.
Mu Yiran nodded, pretending to be extremely reluctant as she read out the numbers several times. Only when the two men's patience reached its limit did she reveal the correct password.
The two men came here primarily to rob—no, to take away all certificates related to the assets and any antiques that might be there.
Unlock the safe.
They pulled open the safe, which was half their height, and both of them took a step forward simultaneously.
Just then, Mu Yiran suddenly slammed her head backward, hitting the man in stockings on the bridge of his nose.
At the same time, the masked man was hit in the face by an unidentified white liquid that was automatically sprayed from the safe.
"Aaaaaah!" The pungent liquid seeped into the masked man's eyes, and he knelt on the ground in agony, screaming in pain!
The man in stockings released his grip on Mu Yiran's hands and covered his face, wailing in pain.
Mu Yiran broke free from him, grabbed an inkstone from the desk, and smashed it hard against the man in stockings!
But it only grazed the man's cheekbone and flew away!
"Fuck you! You filthy bitch!"
The man in stockings grabbed Mu Yiran, who was running towards the desk, and slammed her to the ground.
The man was incredibly strong, and Mu Yiran's back and wrists slammed heavily onto a half-person-high blue-and-white porcelain vase in the corner.
The sound of shattering exploded.
Her skin felt like it had been scratched by a shard of porcelain; the stinging pain made Mu Yiran grit her teeth. Her eyes were fierce; she had just pressed the distress alarm under her desk.
If we can just stall for a little longer, just hold on for a little while longer!
Seeing the stockinged man swinging his fist menacingly at her, Mu Yiran grasped the shattered porcelain shards in her right hand, closed her eyes, and plunged forward without hesitation!
"Thump!"
"Thump! Thump!"
"Ah! My hand! Ahhh!"
Several muffled gunshots mingled with screams, but there was no pain, nor the sensation of being splattered with hot, bloody flesh.
Mu Yiran opened her eyes in confusion, her eyelids trembling. She only had time to see the man in stockings crawling in front of her before she was embraced by another man.
"Ranran! Ranran is alright!"
"Let go of my hand first!"
The man reached for the porcelain shard in her hand, and Mu Yiran trembled: "Who are you... Vice Mayor Li?"
Lee Byung-seung was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected Mu Yi-ran to remember him.
"It's me! It's your Uncle Li! It's alright, Ranran, be good, let go of my hand first."
Mu Yiran, with half her face swollen, slowly let go of his hand, and Li Bingcheng helped her up.
Mu Yiran's back and left hand were numb. She leaned on the man to get up, but suddenly felt a cold sensation on her left palm.
"Wait a moment!"
Lee Byung-seung: "What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"
"No, it's not pain..."
The girl lowered her head and blankly bent down to pick up the two translucent halves of jade at her feet.
Mu Yiran stared at the jade bracelet broken in two in her hand, her pupils dilating in a frenzy! The earth seemed to tremble!
It's broken...
This jade bracelet is broken!!!
...
"...The patient's blood pressure is too low! Quickly! Prepare for surgery!"
"No heartbeat!"
Dr. Chen performed chest compressions on the woman repeatedly, while everyone's eyes were fixed on the straight line on the heart monitor.
Chen Yuan was covered in sweat. He knelt beside the woman and continued to press.
Four minutes.
Ten minutes.
Fifteen minutes.
But this time, the woman didn't pull through like she had before.
"Director Chen..." The head nurse couldn't help but speak. Director Chen slowly stopped, glanced at the still unwavering heart monitor, and silently got out of bed.
The head nurse helped the woman on the bed tidy her clothes, and then covered her face with a white blanket.
As Dr. Chen walked out of the intensive care unit, he looked at the boy standing stiffly in the cubicle, clenched his fists, pursed his lips, and finally said:
Please accept my condolences.
