After a while, she saw from the ring space that the people outside were actually Wang Dagang and his wife. The two searched up and down the stairs for a long time, seemingly looking for her. She then suspected that the original owner's thief secret might have been leaked.
She immediately held her breath. Even though she knew she was hiding in the ring space, her heart was pounding. After all, she had entered the ring space in a hurry, and there were still many traces of her life in the outer room.
Even in her bedroom there were blankets. Who knows if there was any body heat left in the blankets after she suddenly left? If someone found out, they would definitely think she was still hiding in some corner of the house.
Thinking of this, Song Ziqing noticed that the Wang couple were still upstairs, so he quickly slipped back into the room, put the blanket into the ring space, and took away all the other small household items, such as combs and hair ties, before quickly returning to the ring space.
At this moment, her room became as if no one lived there. Wang Dagang and his wife walked in and quietly opened the lock with a few clicks of a wire.
The original owner of this body was aware of Wang Dagang's lock-picking skills. In Song Ziqing's memory, Wang Dagang was a street thug in his early years. Later, he used his lock-picking skills to curry favor with an official and, with the official's help, married Wang Dagang's wife, Li Meili.
Li Meili was ugly, but her family was well-off. Because of her, Wang Dagang was able to completely turn his life around.
In just one or two decades, Wang Dagang went from a street thug to the well-known purchasing manager of the Hongxing Machinery Factory, a position that many people looked up to.
Especially after the Cultural Revolution, Wang Dagang switched jobs from the machinery factory to the Revolutionary Committee, becoming one of its vice directors. He stirred up trouble all over Shanghai, causing widespread suffering.
The two entered the room and found it empty. Li Meili asked angrily, "Old Wang, has that Song girl already left Shanghai?"
"Probably not, that girl's train is the day after tomorrow. But she's not home this late at night, could she have a lover?!"
Wang Dagang was immediately displeased. He had long wanted to bring this Song family girl home to be his son's wife, and if possible, he could also take advantage of the situation.
Li Meili didn't care about anything else and urged Wang Dagang, saying, "Forget about her for now. Let's take advantage of her absence and hurry up and find her precious child. Her house was robbed before, and they are now very short of money. Her son is always crying that he is hungry. He is so pitiful."
"Alright, it'll be easier for us to find things if Song isn't here. But we still need to come back tomorrow night to bring Song home, otherwise she'll run away!"
"The person you hired before tricked her into marrying into our family, and you said she was interested, right? Why the sudden change of heart?"
Wang Dagang looked at Li Meili with suspicion, feeling that his wife might have done something wrong and wasn't really willing to bring Song Ziqing back to the Wang family.
Li Meili realized that her husband, Wang Dagang, was indeed after Song Ziqing. She roared jealously, "What? You see me as a haggard old woman and want to find another wife? Let me tell you, no way! You only have this status because of my family. If you don't want me, I won't let you have a good life. Don't forget, the things you've done aren't exactly honorable. You... you've even taken a life. If you don't want me, I won't let you have an easy time either!"
Hearing Li Meili's outburst, Song Ziqing in the ring space was also stunned. Wang Dagang had actually killed someone?
No wonder she saw such a menacing look on his face; he's got a life on his hands!
It seems she can't stay home any longer for the next day; she plans to leave early tomorrow morning and not come back.
She was worried that the Wang couple would come to her door to snatch or steal her.
Just thinking about it made Song Ziqing feel like a lamb to the slaughter.
At this moment, Song Ziqing felt that in all the vastness of the world, there was nowhere for her to find refuge.
She thought of the original owner's fiancé. This man used to come to the house to see the original owner from time to time when the Song family was still at home.
The original owner didn't think much of him, feeling that he was unwanted by her maternal grandparents and paternal grandparents and was just an unnecessary presence in the Lin family.
The original owner of this body wouldn't have been interested in a man like that.
Later, the Song family encountered misfortune, and the Lin family could not help her. They could only arrange for the original owner and Lin Chengyu to go to the countryside to avoid disaster like stray dogs.
The original owner was unhappy and frantically tried to find a powerful backer to save her from her predicament.
Later, in her first life, the original owner discovered that everyone in Shanghai was living in fear, and only the Wang family was willing to lend her a helping hand, at the cost of her marrying a fool.
In the original owner's first life, marrying a fool was better than going to the countryside. After all, the original owner genuinely disliked rural areas. In the past, whenever the original owner returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she would often experience skin allergies and gastrointestinal problems.
The original owner of this body in her first life was truly very fragile. She knew that going to the countryside was not to avoid disaster, but could very well mean losing her life.
In Song Ziqing's view, the original owner's choice in the first life was not so unacceptable.
She simply underestimated the complexity of human nature!
She never imagined that the Wang family members were all devils.
Thinking about this, Song Ziqing felt that if the original owner hadn't been blackmailed after her rebirth, her beginning would have been like that of a reborn female protagonist.
Lin Chengyu has always been the most pitiful supporting male character, always playing a minor role in the background.
Thinking about this, Song Ziqing felt she needed to go see Lin Chengyu tomorrow. For the next few years, she would probably be living in the countryside with him. At least they were acquaintances, and it would be good for them to look after each other.
At this moment, Lin Chengyu, unaware of what was happening, became Song Ziqing's salvation.
Even a young and beautiful girl like her needs a man by her side when she goes to the countryside to feel safe.
In particular, Lin Chengyu is his legally engaged fiancé.
As long as the two of them do not break off their engagement, she and Lin Chengyu will be bound together forever.
Song Ziqing felt that instead of waiting for the two of them to go to the countryside together, it would be better to find someone early on to help her purchase some things she would need for the trip.
Being a porter is fine, after all, she only has one day to do the shopping, and the Wang couple are watching her closely, eyeing her with their own agenda.
Song Ziqing's biggest worry is that he will be ripped off again!
At this moment, she was unaware that by delivering herself directly to the door, she was giving the thugs who were harassing her a chance to continue plotting against her.
While he was after her money, he gradually started to covet her as a person.
