Meanwhile, Wen Yanshan, despite developing a distrust and a faint resentment towards Shi Miao due to his "fraudulent behavior," hadn't told his family about it. Her family might not have done anything, but she knew her two cousins loved their cousin Manman dearly, and if they knew about Shi Miao's fraudulent behavior, they would definitely not let him off.
Well, she would just consider it as a good deed. Therefore, Wen Yanshan didn't tell anyone, but continued to ask his friends in the circle about Xie Xin.
According to what she'd learned, the police had already tracked down the thugs Xie Xin had hired back then, and they'd all been arrested. Even the incident of Xie Xin hiring someone to throw sulfuric acid at a high school student had come to light. Furthermore, several of her high school classmates were planning to jointly sue her for bullying. Some of her former victims had dropped out of school, and some had developed depression.
Xie Xin usually appeared cheerful and friendly to Wen Yanshan. He was shocked to learn that she had such a ruthless side.
Still trembling, she gossiped with her schoolmates. Her friends were deeply interested in the stories of the upper-class world, and they listened with gusto. The short break between classes wasn't enough for Wen Yanshan to talk about, so she and her friends arranged to continue after school, and Wen Yanshan even booked a private room. However, it was her turn to be on duty after school, so Wen Yanshan asked her friends to go first and she would go after her duty was done.
As luck would have it, Wen Yanshan was usually picked up by the Wen family's driver. Today, just as she was about to return from her shift, the driver was summoned by her cousin, Zhou Man. Zhou Man's former driver's daughter had been in an accident, and the driver had taken a last-minute leave of absence. Zhou Man was also in a hurry to meet her fiancé, and since her university wasn't far from Wen Yanshan's high school, she called to borrow some money.
"Yanzi, please wait a moment. Let me borrow your driver."
Wen Yanshan didn't care about it. He said generously on the phone, "It's okay. Let Uncle Li pick you up. I can take a taxi there."
Wen Yanshan would occasionally fight, but for her, it was really no big deal. In this respect, her cousin was much more delicate than her and usually never took a car from outside.
She was waiting at the school gate in her school uniform, wondering whether to use the Didi app to call a taxi, when a car pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, revealing a face wearing a mask. The person coughed a few times and looked like he had a cold.
"Little girl, do you want a taxi?"
Wen Yanshan nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go to Chenguang KTV." She closed her phone, which saved her the trouble of calling a taxi.
"Okay, it's not far over there, I'll just charge you ten dollars."
Wen Yanshan opened the front door of the car and was about to get in when he inexplicably remembered Shi Miao's words.
Shi Miao had told her in the hospital not to go out alone to fight crime in the next two days.
She subconsciously looked at the driver, but there was no taxi driver's license on the dashboard.
She blurted out, "Where's your work permit?"
The driver said, "I was in a hurry to go out today and forgot to bring it. Chenguang KTV is near my house. After I pick you up, I'll go home and get it. Hurry up and get in the car, don't waste time."
Wen Yanshan didn't know why, but she suddenly felt uneasy. She took a step back and said, "Forget it, I'm not in a hurry." She decided to take the regular car.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the driver quickly said, "Since we're on the way, how about just charging you five dollars?"
Wen Yanshan became more and more vigilant. She was not in a hurry, so safety had to be put first.
Seeing Wen Yanshan trying to run away, the driver decided to go all out and grabbed her arm tightly, trying to force her into the car. Wen Yanshan's face changed drastically, and she shouted in the direction of the guard: "Help, he's trying to catch me!"
The two guards reacted quickly. Both of them were veterans and rushed over immediately.
Wen Yanshan also lowered his head and bit the driver's hand hard, and the driver subconsciously let go. When he saw the school guard approaching, his face darkened and he was about to close the door and flee. However, before he could close the door, the guard blocked it and dragged him out of the car.
The driver yelled, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
The other guard was even more vigilant in this regard. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him and he said to Wen Yanshan, "Open the trunk and take a look."
Wen Yanshan opened the trunk and saw a bundle of ropes, a roll of bandages and a hammer in the trunk. The blood on her face turned pale and her hands and feet were cold.
The school security personnel also arrived. When they saw what was in the trunk, they called the police without hesitation.
Wen Yanshan's hands were shaking as she held the phone. She called her mother, her voice still tearful, "Mom, please come here. I'm scared."
…
Twenty minutes later, Wen Yanshan met his mother Wang Hui who had rushed over to the police station.
Wang Hui looked at her daughter's gloomy face and felt extremely scared. On the way here, the school guard called her and told her about what had happened. This time it was really dangerous.
After they called the police, they took the driver into custody. They found numerous online chat logs on the driver's phone related to the crime. The driver had once stated in a small group chat that a mistress from his youth had run off with his money, that his ex-wife and son ignored him, and that he no longer wanted to live. He wanted to find a young, beautiful woman to have a good time with before he died. Besides bandages, ropes, and a hammer, his car also contained drugs and aphrodisiacs purchased online, indicating that he wasn't just talking big; he was planning to act on it.
Almost, these things would be used on her daughter.
Wang Hui hugged her daughter, feeling the warmth from her body, and the fear and dread in her heart faded away a little.
After a while, she let go of her daughter Wen Yanshan and tapped her forehead fiercely with her finger, leaving a red mark on her forehead. "Why are you so careless? Don't take a taxi by yourself next time."
Just a little while ago, her precious daughter, whom she had cherished for so many years, was about to meet with an unexpected accident. Thinking of that possibility, she felt her breathing become difficult, and her eyes were red. She also felt a little bit of blame for Zhou Man. If she hadn't insisted on borrowing her daughter's driver, her daughter wouldn't have been in such a close call.
Wen Yanshan, who had narrowly escaped danger, was unusually well-behaved. "I won't dare to do it again next time." There are still scratches on her hands from the other party.
As if she remembered something, she grabbed her mother's arm and said seriously, "I'm fine this time. I have to thank my cousin!"
If Shi Miao hadn't reminded her, with her careless personality, she would have definitely gotten into this black car.
Yesterday she actually suspected Shi Miao of having bad intentions and thought she was a hateful liar. She deserved to die!
In her heart, Shi Miao is her cousin! Even though they are not related by blood, she still recognizes this cousin!
Wang Hui said angrily, "You're still thanking her? Are you a fool?"
She gave her daughter another good slap in the face.
Wen Yanshan was yelling "Ouch!" over there. She knew her mother must have misunderstood, so she explained, "Mom! The cousin I'm talking about is not Manman!"
"It's Shi Miao!"
"Let's go to the hospital to see my cousin now!"
