However, Su Ruyi did not reappear for a long time.
The intense itching sensation suddenly returned, and Su Yin's facial features instantly began to twitch...
Su Ruyi had already set off.
The address Su Yin mentioned was in the northern suburbs, separated from the southern suburbs by the entire city of Haicheng.
Su Ruyi left the space, sighed, and summoned a motorcycle with a wave of her hand.
She rode her motorcycle, speeding away through the dead of night in Haicheng.
The address was an abandoned coal yard in the northern suburbs of Haicheng.
Su Ruyi climbed over the wall and, following Su Yin's instructions, arrived at the row of small bungalows behind the coal yard.
He retrieved the key from under a strange, large rock and opened the door to the third room.
The room was empty except for some tattered mats.
Su Ruyi lifted the mat, and the entrance to a cellar appeared before her.
She opened the wooden cover.
Then, a sobbing sound could be heard coming from inside.
Su Ruyi used her divine sense to probe and hurriedly climbed down the rope ladder.
In the darkness, she could not see anything, but her consciousness replaced her sight—in a corner of this empty little cellar, a small figure was curled up, none other than Chen Yuanyuan.
Su Ruyi spoke softly: "Yuanyuan?!"
Chen Yuanyuan let out two "woo-woo" sounds.
Su Ruyi walked up to her and carefully pulled out some kind of dirty cloth from her mouth.
"Ruyi...is that you?" Chen Yuanyuan's voice was very hoarse.
“It’s me! Yuanyuan! You’re saved!” Su Ruyi answered confidently.
Chen Yuanyuan suddenly burst into loud sobs: "I thought I was going to die here... Ruyi! My child! Is my child already gone? I can feel it..."
Su Ruyi extended her divine sense again and saw some red liquid between Chen Yuanyuan's legs.
She immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly focused her consciousness into Chen Yuanyuan's body—in her womb, just as Su Tong had written in his letter, two embryos were indeed growing!
Two tiny hearts were beating rapidly.
Su Ruyi's divine sense continued to penetrate deeper and finally found several blood vessels bleeding inside the uterus, which was a sign that the placenta was detaching slightly.
Su Ruyi had the larger blood vessels ligated.
The bleeding stopped.
She took out another pill and also pulled the kettle out of her spatial storage—since there was no light around, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't see anything anyway.
"Yuanyuan, quickly take this medicine!"
Chen Yuanyuan immediately opened her mouth and took the pill into her mouth.
Su Ruyi picked up the kettle and patiently fed her half a kettle of water.
Chen Yuanyuan drank the water greedily: "I...I haven't had a drop of water for two days and two nights!"
Su Ruyi paused for a few seconds and then fed the rest of the water to her.
Then, she gradually untied all the ropes binding Chen Yuanyuan—not all at once.
"Yuanyuan, can you walk?"
"I should... be able to!" Chen Yuanyuan struggled to her feet with Su Ruyi's help, swaying unsteadily.
"Like this—you lie on my back, and I'll carry you up."
"How could you possibly carry me? You're even thinner than me!"
"Don't worry, come on up!"
Chen Yuanyuan had no choice but to obey and climb onto Su Ruyi's back.
Su Ruyi nimbly carried her on her back and climbed up the rope ladder.
By the dim moonlight shining into the room, Su Ruyi finally saw Chen Yuanyuan's face clearly.
At some point, Chen Yuanyuan had cut off her braids and was now sporting a short, athletic hairstyle.
Now, her head looks like a chicken coop, and her face is covered in black ash.
Tears washed away the black and gray, leaving two white streaks.
“My motorcycle is parked outside. I’ll take you back now,” Su Ruyi said, taking off her military overcoat and wrapping it around Chen Yuanyuan.
After fastening her belt, Chen Yuanyuan followed Su Ruyi out, limping, and sure enough, she saw a brand-new motorcycle parked outside the yard.
Chen Yuanyuan really wanted to ask where it came from, but at this moment her nerves were still very tense, and she even had difficulty speaking.
"Yuanyuan, make sure you sit still and hold on tight!"
"Yes, I'm holding on tight!"
Su Ruyi stepped on the gas, and the motorcycle shot away from the nightmarish northern suburbs like an arrow.
At five o'clock in the morning, Su Ruyi took Chen Yuanyuan back to her and Su Tong's home.
The door opened just as the two footsteps came upstairs.
Su Tong, Chu Liang'an, and Wu Lili all rushed out.
When Chen Yuanyuan saw Su Tong, she finally burst into tears.
She was very weak, and her cries were as soft as a kitten's whimper.
Su Tong pulled her into his arms, and at the same time, looked at Su Ruyi with gratitude, mouthing "thank you".
Everyone went inside and locked the door.
Chen Yuanyuan was placed on the sofa.
She cried, "I thought... I was going to die in that basement..."
Chu Liang'an asked, "Ruyi, are you injured?"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "No."
"Was the person who kidnapped Yuanyuan really Su Yin?" Su Tong asked.
Su Ruyi nodded: "It's Su Yin."
"Where is he?"
"He's dead."
"What? Ruyi, you killed someone?"
"No, I didn't kill him. I chased him for a while, and he lost his footing and fell into the river."
"What? You chased him all the way to the river?"
"Yes. He asked me to rescue him, and I made him tell me where Yuanyuan was being held. We argued for a long time before he finally told me. But when I went to get a stick to pull him up, I saw a string of bubbles rise from the water, and then he was gone."
"Great!" Chu Liang'an clapped his hands and laughed, "This is what they call 'evil people get their just desserts'!"
At this moment, Su Tong had already helped Chen Yuanyuan back to the bedroom, and kept bringing in basins of hot water.
Wu Lili went to the kitchen to start cooking noodles.
She cooked the noodles until they were extremely soft, placed two fragrant and tender poached eggs in the bowl, blanched a bright green vegetable, added a few drops of sesame oil, and finely shredded a small dish of pickled mustard greens.
A short while later, Chen Yuanyuan, fresh from washing up and with a towel wrapped around her head, reappeared in everyone's sight.
By this time, she had calmed down considerably.
She sat at the dining table, taking small bites of noodles with a poached egg.
As I ate, tears started falling in large drops again, all of them dripping into my bowl.
Su Tong stood behind her, gripping her chair tightly, as if that would prevent Chen Yuanyuan from disappearing from his sight again.
After a while, Wu Lili suddenly asked, "Ruyi, where's Tie Ge?"
Su Ruyi exclaimed "Ah!"—How could she have forgotten about Su Tie?
Su Tie has been locked in the bathroom of the space, and he is still unconscious!
No, how can we find an opportunity to release him?
She feigned complete bewilderment, looking around and saying, "Fifth Brother? I haven't seen him."
