Song Ge stared at the door as if confirming something. Finally, she let out a sigh, withdrew her gaze, and slumped back onto the bed.
A hasty ringtone shattered the silence in the room.
She reached out her arm, grabbed the phone, and answered it absent - mindedly. "Hello."
"Do you want to see Zhai Cheng and your mother?" It was a strange voice. Clearly, a voice - changer had been used.
Song Ge jolted and sat up from the bed, gripping the phone tightly in nervousness. "Where have you hidden them?"
"If you want to know where they are, go to the underground parking lot at Nankou right now. This offer won't last. Also, if you dare to call the police or bring anyone with you, get ready to collect their corpses."
Before Song Ge could say anything else, the other side had already hung up. Without a moment to think, she put on her clothes and rushed downstairs.
Seeing her in such a hurry, Aunt Chen asked, "Miss Song, where are you going?"
Thinking of the phone call just now, Song Ge knew she couldn't call the police or let anyone follow her. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Someone just called and told me to go there. Zhai Cheng is there."
Aunt Chen was an experienced person and was clear - headed at the moment. "Miss Song, what if it's a trap?"
"I can't worry about that now." With that, Song Ge hailed a taxi and headed to the underground parking lot at Nankou, ignoring Aunt Chen's dissuasion.
Unfortunately, it was the rush hour, and the traffic was gridlocked.
Song Ge was extremely anxious. Looking at the long line of cars in front, she quickly paid the fare and got out of the taxi.
She ran all the way, and many people stared at her with strange looks.
Suddenly, a large truck was coming straight at her. Song Ge's mind went blank, and her feet felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. She stood there, stunned.
"Bang."
Song Ge's vision gradually blurred. In her sight, she saw many people approaching her.
She moved, trying to crawl forward.
Soon, an ambulance arrived and rushed Song Ge to the hospital.
There were hasty footsteps and flickering incandescent lights.
When Song Ge woke up, everything around her was white. Her head was dizzy. She instinctively covered her head, and the scenes from just now flashed before her eyes.
Zhai Cheng!
She had to go and see him!
Song Ge threw off the quilt, endured the dizziness in her head, and walked towards the door.
A nurse noticed her and got angry. "You can't walk around now." Although the car accident had only caused a mild concussion, which wasn't very serious, her body was very weak, and she might faint at any time if she went out.
"I want to be discharged from the hospital," Song Ge insisted. "I have to go somewhere." Her eyes were firm.
Although the nurse didn't know what had happened, she had said what she should. It was Song Ge's right to make the choice.
Song Ge managed to leave the hospital smoothly. She took off the gauze on her head and staggered onto the road to hail a taxi.
The taxi driver was an uncle. Seeing Song Ge's pale face, he asked with concern, "Little girl, are you not feeling well?"
Song Ge shook her head. She didn't have the strength to speak. After a while, she finally said, "Uncle, please drive to the underground parking lot at Nankou as fast as you can."
The driver uncle sighed and said no more, but stepped on the accelerator.
When they arrived at the underground parking lot, there were cars everywhere. Song Ge didn't know which one it was, and her head was still dizzy. She walked a few steps with difficulty.
Finally, she gave up. Just as she was about to call to ask, the phone rang.
Song Ge trembled all over. Clearly, someone was following her. She instinctively looked around, but there was no one.
She answered the phone with a trembling hand, her face as white as a sheet.
"Stop looking. You won't find them."
A chill ran down Song Ge's back. The other side seemed to know everything she had done. "Which car should I get into?"
"Walk forward," the other side ordered.
Song Ge obediently walked forward.
"The white one, TU7890, in front."
Song Ge spotted the car at once. Before she could react, the car door suddenly opened, and two black - clothed men got out. They pulled her into the car. With the mild concussion, she felt even more uncomfortable.
After Song Ge got in, before she could look around, a black cloth was thrown over her eyes, and her hands were tied together.
Suddenly, her vision was plunged into darkness. Song Ge could only judge the number of people around her by sound, but she felt the window being rolled down, and the howling wind drowned out everything.
"Who on earth are you?"
One of the men coughed. "Stop talking nonsense. You'll know when we get there."
Although Song Ge was eager to see Zhai Cheng, she was still rational. "You're just doing this for money. How much do you want? I can give it to you."
Although she couldn't see, Song Ge could tell that one of the men seemed tempted, but was quickly overruled by the others.
"Shut up!" Then, someone sealed Song Ge's mouth with tape.
She didn't know how much time had passed when the car finally stopped.
Song Ge was pulled out of the car. She stumbled and fell to the ground. The men dragged her forward without any tenderness.
Suddenly, she was thrown roughly to the ground.
Her knees hit the stones on the ground, and she could feel the blood trickling down her legs.
Someone untied the rope on her hands, and the next second, she heard the sound of people walking away.
She waited for a long time, and it seemed that there was no one around.
Song Ge took off the cloth from her eyes. The strong sunlight shone on her, and she instinctively covered her eyes. After getting used to it, she removed her hand.
Her body was at its limit. Song Ge squatted down and took a break before looking around at the environment.
Her pupils dilated, and she stared at the scene in front of her in horror.
It was Ji Qingyun's tomb.
Why did they bring her here?
The photo on the tombstone touched Song Ge's heart, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably.
Even though so much time had passed, she still couldn't find peace.
"You hypocritical woman," Leng Jing's voice suddenly rang out.
Song Ge wiped the tears from her face, turned around, and stared coldly at Leng Jing. "Was it you who did this?"
Leng Jing sneered and took a step forward, evading the question. "Song Ge, it's all because of you."
Just as she finished speaking, a person walked over from afar. It was Xu Qin.
Just as she had thought before, these two had joined forces.
Without any warning, Leng Jing suddenly lunged forward and pushed Song Ge to the ground.
Song Ge fell face - first. Her head was dizzy, and she couldn't get up for a long time. When she finally came to her senses, she looked up.
"You killed Ji Qingyun. How can you live so peacefully!" Leng Jing pointed at Song Ge, heartbroken and choking with sobs. "Ji Qingyun, the woman you loved most killed you with her own hands. Isn't it ironic?"
With great difficulty, Song Ge got up from the ground and looked Leng Jing in the eye.
"Admit it. It was you who killed Ji Qingyun!"
