Zhong Yuan tiptoed out of the house, made sure his parents had returned to their room, and then lay at the door of Zhong Tianming and Qian Min's bedroom to listen for a while.
Only when I could hear my father's snoring did I tiptoe out.
I walked out the door without being noticed by my parents.
Zhong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, changed his nervous mood, and walked towards the hospital under the dim street lights.
Zhong Yuan's home is some distance away from the hospital. For convenience, she walks through the alleys. Some alleys don't even have street lights. It's just that she is brave enough.
Zhong Yuan walked for a while and turned into a dark alley, then he heard footsteps behind him.
At first, Zhong Yuan thought it was someone passing by, so he didn't take it seriously. He just walked hurriedly, trying to get out of this dark alley as soon as possible.
However, the footsteps behind him were getting faster and faster, and he could even hear the other party's heavy breathing, so Zhong Yuan had to be alert.
She didn't look back, and her pace quickened a bit, but her body wouldn't allow her to go any faster. Even so, she felt her heart aching and she felt suffocated and couldn't breathe.
The footsteps behind him quickened again, and he could clearly feel that the other party was only a few meters away from him.
Zhong Yuan did not look back, but his mind was racing. He had already seen the light of the street lamp at the entrance of the alley. Enduring the pain in his heart, he took a few quick steps and shouted towards the light: "Song Xiuyan, I'm here!"
When the footsteps behind heard Zhong Yuan calling for help, they slowed down and even stopped. Taking advantage of this gap, Zhong Yuan desperately ran towards the entrance of the alley.
Just as he was about to run out of the alley, someone grabbed his braid and pushed him against the wall.
Zhong Yuan only felt a piercing pain in his back, and his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his chest. He felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he found that his neck had been tightly strangled by someone.
The feeling of suffocation became stronger. Zhong Yuan tried her best to use the little light to barely see the person who was strangling her neck. He was a young man, a head taller than her.
But she was sure that she didn't know this person, so she asked with some difficulty: "Who are you? Why did you arrest me? Did you recognize the wrong person?"
Zhong Yuan also vaguely guessed that this man did not recognize the wrong person, but deliberately arrested her, whether for robbery or other reasons. She went over it in her mind, but unfortunately she had been under strict supervision since she was a child, and her hands-on ability was very poor, let alone her strength.
Therefore, she cannot act rudely with the other party, but must stabilize the other party first.
The man didn't say anything, and his hands didn't use any force. He just stared at Zhong Yuan.
Zhong Yuan felt a chill in his heart and gritted his teeth: "I don't know you, did you recognize the wrong person? My family member is in the hospital, I want to go to the hospital to see him, can you let me go."
The man was stunned for a moment: "Sick? What's wrong with you?"
Zhong Yuan was still smart. He took a breath and said in a trembling voice, "My family member is seriously ill and is about to die. Brother, can you let me go? I just want to see him for the last time."
No one knew what he said wrong, but the man suddenly lost his temper. He pinched Zhong Yuan hard and growled madly, "You have no conscience. Women have no conscience. You all deserve to die! You said you were going to see a patient, but you were just going to have an affair. I'm going to kill you today. You shameless women."
As he spoke, he frantically tugged at Zhong Yuan's clothes with his other hand: "Don't you want to live without men? I'm going to destroy you today and make you as cheap as can be."
Zhong Yuan struggled hard to prevent his clothes from being torn off, while desperately shouting, "Help, help!"
The man was afraid that Zhong Yuan would call someone over, so he quickly reached out to cover her mouth, and the two of them twisted together.
Zhong Yuan was no match for the man. After a few hits, he pushed her to the ground and slapped her in the face: "Bitch, I want you to try again."
He casually opened Zhong Yuan's cotton coat.
Zhong Yuan was still resisting, but he had no strength. In the man's eyes, his strength was like that of a chicken.
Just when Zhong Yuan was in despair, someone suddenly ran over, followed by a muffled thud, and the man on top of her was kicked away.
Zhong Yuan felt as if he had escaped a calamity and quickly got up wrapped in his torn cotton coat. However, his legs went limp and he sat down on the ground again.
At the same time, she also saw who was coming and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Song Xiuyan?"
Song Xiuyan was stunned for a moment, then he heard someone shouting for help in the alley. When he ran over frantically, he saw a man pressing down on a woman. The woman seemed to be lifeless, so he kicked her without thinking much.
But I never expected that the person I rescued was Zhong Yuan.
"Zhong Yuan?!"
Song Xiuyan shouted, and suddenly rushed towards the man who had just struggled like a madman, grabbed his collar and started beating him violently.
He didn't dare to think about what would have happened to Zhong Yuan if he hadn't sneaked out at night to find Zhong Yuan?
What would happen to Zhong Yuan now if he hadn't heard that cry for help?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the harder she struck, hitting the man again and again, hitting wherever it hurt.
The man had no chance to fight back at all. He was like a rag bag, allowing the man to beat him madly. He groaned from time to time, and he didn't even have a chance to beg for mercy.
Zhong Yuan took a long time to regain his strength. He climbed up and hugged Song Xiuyan's waist: "Song Xiuyan, stop hitting me. If you continue, someone will die. It's not worth it to sacrifice yourself for such a person. Song Xiuyan, let go."
The last cry was uttered in a crying tone, and Song Xiuyan suddenly stopped.
The unconscious man was thrown to the ground like garbage. This time, the man was completely unconscious.
Song Xiuyan turned around and held Zhong Yuan's shoulders: "Are you hurt? Did he hit you?"
Zhong Yuan shook his head: "No, you arrived just in time, he hasn't made a move yet."
Her face felt burning with pain because the man had slapped her in the face with great force.
But she couldn't tell Song Xiuyan now, for fear that Song Xiuyan would beat her even harder after getting angry.
Song Xiuyan's eyes were hot. In the dim light, he could only see Zhong Yuan's outline. Thinking about what had just happened and the unthinkable consequences, his back felt cold. He suddenly reached out and hugged Zhong Yuan tightly in his arms: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late."
He had originally promised his grandmother and Sheng An Ning that he would not come to see Zhong Yuan for the time being. He would return to the unit to find her after he recovered and let her see his best side.
However, in the evening, when he heard that the people in the hospital were in a state of panic, talking about a murderer who specifically targeted women, he became a little restless.
After grandma had rested, Song Xiuyan decided to sneak out and see Zhong Yuan. If he could see her, he would give her some good advice.
Who would have thought that he would actually meet her? The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He tightened his arms again, wishing he could hold Zhong Yuan in his arms...
