Carrying all his belongings, Wang Xiu relied on his familiarity with the back mountain and fled frantically through the forest.
We absolutely cannot get caught!
Behind him, Song Yiming's voice pierced through the woods, "Wang Xiu, you can't escape. Give up resistance and surrender immediately."
Wang Xiu ignored him, only one thought in her mind: escape, she had to escape. They were almost at the bottom of the cliff behind the mountain.
Once she's on the ship, she's free to roam as the sky's the limit, and nobody can touch her.
The beach is just around the corner.
Wang Xiu was thrilled and quickened her pace, her body covered in bloody scratches from tree branches, looking utterly disheveled.
arrive!
Wang Xiu was overjoyed, but when she looked at the empty sea, she was completely dumbfounded.
"Where's the ship? Where's the backup ship?"
She screamed and went berserk, her hair a mess, making her look like a madwoman.
Wang Xiu couldn't believe she had been deceived. Stubbornly believing the boat must be hidden nearby, she frantically searched along the coastline.
Unfortunately, the coastline was deserted, with nowhere to hide the boat.
Seeing that Song Yiming had caught up, Wang Xiu, in desperation, ran towards the sea. She was caught by the soldiers shortly after entering the water.
"Let me go! Let me go! What right do you have to arrest me?" Wang Xiu struggled frantically.
Song Yiming curled his lip. Now you know you're in a hurry? Too late.
He walked up to Wang Xiu and said, "Wang Xiu, all your accomplices have been arrested. I advise you to surrender and confess honestly, and you might be able to reduce your punishment."
Wang Xiu looked at the person she once liked and sneered.
"Company Commander Song, don't treat me like a fool. I burned Yu Yao to death, and I know I can't escape death."
If it weren't for wanting to be with him, she would never have hated Yu Yao. And if she hadn't hated Yu Yao, how could things have come to this?
She doesn't regret it; she's just unwilling to accept it.
If she were given another chance, she would definitely plan more meticulously and would never have put herself in such a predicament.
"Who told you your sister-in-law is dead? Your sister-in-law and Ningning were rescued by the regimental commander a long time ago. As long as you obediently hand over the child, your punishment can be reduced."
child?
Didn't they catch Granny Wang? Didn't they find the child?
By the way, the others didn't know that Granny Wang hated Yu Yao; they only knew that Wang Xiu and Yu Yao had a grudge, so they all probably thought that she took the child away to get revenge on Yu Yao.
Wang Xiu kept her head down, so no one else could see her expression.
Does this give her an extra bargaining chip?
After thinking it through, Wang Xiu looked at Song Yiming and said, "I've hidden the child in a safe place. If you let me go, I'll tell you where the child is."
Song Yiming frowned. "Wang Xiu, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. You're also from the family compound, don't you know how serious the crime of colluding with enemy agents is? Rather than hiding the child to blackmail her, you should confess honestly. Perhaps there's still a chance for a lighter sentence."
Upon hearing Song Yiming's words, Wang Xiu thought of Xu Ruoling and Mo Ruqing's fates, and her eyes clearly showed panic.
"Song Yiming, please plead for me. I don't want to collude with enemy agents. I was threatened."
“Yu Yao is alright, isn’t she? I’m willing to compensate you. As long as you let me go, I can give you the child. I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again.”
Song Yiming looked at her like she was an idiot. "The child isn't in your hands. You must have hidden him on the road. The military can definitely find him."
Wang Xiu felt guilty because the child wasn't actually in her hands, but she couldn't show it, so she could only make up various excuses to try and exonerate herself.
After all her attempts failed, Wang Xiu became enraged and threatened fiercely, "Song Yiming, if you don't let me go, I will absolutely not tell you where your child is."
"If I'm not having a good time, then Yu Yao won't have one either. Let her live the rest of her life in fear and guilt for losing her son. Hahahaha!"
Since everyone thinks she took the child, let everyone think that way.
It would be best if Yu Yao thought so too.
That way, no one will start looking for the child from Granny Wang. The baby is less than two weeks old, and in this cold weather, if they miss their chance to be rescued…
Yu Yao will never have a peaceful life.
The ruthless hatred in Wang Xiu's eyes was shocking.
Song Yiming couldn't understand why she harbored such deep hatred for her sister-in-law, just because her sister-in-law refused to help her find a match.
The disdain in his eyes deeply stung Wang Xiu.
She whirled around, grabbed Song Yiming's clothes, and demanded:
"Song Yiming, it's all because of you that I've ended up in this situation. Don't you have even the slightest bit of sympathy for me? Why do you look down on me? Why do you reject me?"
If you had accepted me back then, I wouldn't have gone to Yu Yao to act as matchmaker. If I hadn't gone to Yu Yao, I wouldn't have held a grudge against her for not helping me... I wouldn't have been threatened by Granny Wang... I wouldn't be in this predicament today.”
Song Yiming removed her hand and looked at her frantic state. "You're insane! You're really insane!"
"I've gone mad, it's all your fault. That bitch Yu Yao, we're both from the countryside, why does she get to live the good life I've always dreamed of so easily? I've tolerated her grooming Sun Yu. Why did she have to steal my cadre position at the military factory? I'm the best accountant in the sideline group, why wasn't I chosen? Why? It's all Yu Yao's fault, her appearance ruined everything. I curse her, may she never find...uh..."
Song Yiming couldn't stand it anymore and stuffed something into her mouth, saying, "How dare you talk nonsense! How dare you curse your sister-in-law? Come on, let's take her back for questioning."
In the hospital ward.
