Cheng Yanxia wanted to turn back, but the thugs behind her had already chased after her. She could only endure the great grief and keep running away.
Taking advantage of her familiarity with the terrain, she managed to escape the pursuit of several thugs and ran onto the road.
Her long hair was in a mess, and she had lost one of her shoes during the escape. She looked extremely disheveled.
Why did Fang Jiangyi do this? What on earth was the reason!
Dawn was just breaking. Cheng Yanxia was shivering all over, covered in blood. She stumbled along the roadside, not knowing where to go or who she could turn to for help.
Perhaps the one - day - and - one - night flight had exhausted her, and the fear had worn her out. Her consciousness was getting weaker and weaker. All she knew was that in the last moment before she passed out, there was a blinding light shining on her face, a sharp screeching of brakes, and then she completely lost consciousness.
"Lu, it seems we accidentally hit someone."
Lu Qianzhou was sitting in the back row. Hearing this, he opened his eyes.
Lu Qianzhou and Mu Rui got out of the car to check the situation. Mu Rui let out a gasp as he pushed aside the woman's messy long hair.
"This woman..."
Lu Qianzhou hooked the corner of his lips. "The second daughter of the Cheng family."
Mu Rui said, "You know her?"
Lu Qianzhou lowered his head and tidied up the cuffs of his shirt. "Carry her into the car."
"The Cheng family just had some trouble. What are you going to do?"
...
Cheng Yanxia was deeply trapped in a nightmare. The scene of her sister struggling in a pool of blood in the dream overlapped with the one in her mind.
"Sister..." She let out a scream and woke up from the dream.
Her face was covered with tears, and she didn't even know where she was. She pulled out the syringe, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and ran towards the door.
"Sister."
How was her sister? She had to go back to save her and find out the truth of the matter!
"Miss, you're awake." Outside the room, a maid in uniform smiled at her.
"How is Yanxi? How is my sister?" Cheng Yanxia rushed up and tightly grabbed her shoulders, questioning her.
"Miss, calm down. I'll call the boss right away." The maid stopped her and tried to soothe her.
But Cheng Yanxia couldn't calm down. She ran out like a crazy woman.
But before she could step out of the room, she was stopped by the maid and the bodyguards. Without the master's order, they wouldn't let her leave.
"Let go of me! Let go of me! Help..."
She struggled so hard that the leading bodyguard had no choice but to panic and call the doctor to give her a sedative. Yanxia instantly went limp and fell into a drowsy sleep again.
The leaves of the plane trees outside the window rustled. Cheng Yanxia didn't know how long she had been sleeping in a daze.
When she woke up, she was back in that room.
A man was sitting on the sofa near the window. He was wearing a sky - blue shirt and playing with a remote control in his hand. The curtains of the all - glass French window were wide open, and the sunlight was blinding.
He seemed to be embedded in a painting, merging with the blue sky outside the window.
Cheng Yanxia got up from the bed. Before she could make any move, Lu Qianzhou had already spoken.
"Miss Cheng is awake. Why don't you watch something with me?"
He casually pressed the remote control, and the TV in the in - wall cabinet turned on. The news was reporting that Cheng Hua, the executive director of Shengshi Group and the chairman of the Shoujing Chamber of Commerce, had been arrested and imprisoned.
"Shengshi Group has undergone a major reshuffle and may be facing a new turning point."
"The eldest daughter of the Cheng family was deeply shocked and accidentally fell from a building. Her life or death is unknown."
Cheng Yanxia suddenly had difficulty breathing. She gasped for air and tightly grabbed the bedsheet beside her.
At the end of the news, there was a clip of Fang Jiangyi being interviewed.
In the picture, the reporters were crowded together, and the flashlights kept going off.
The security guards stood in a row to block the reporters. Fang Jiangyi was calm and composed, looking a bit haggard. It seemed that he had also been greatly affected by the sudden incident.
He said righteously, "No matter what the court's decision is, no matter whether Yanxi can wake up or not, I will always be with her and help the Cheng family get through this crisis."
A reporter asked him about Cheng Yanxia's whereabouts.
Fang Jiangyi stopped, turned back to face the camera, and his face was expressionless.
"She will be fine. Even if she is at the ends of the earth, I will definitely find her."
The picture suddenly stopped.
Fang Jiangyi's words were full of threats just now. It seemed that no matter where she hid, he would dig her out.
Yanxia shrank into the corner of the bed. Perhaps because her heart couldn't bear it anymore, she tightly grabbed the clothes on her chest with one hand...
A good family had been destroyed in just a few days.
Her father was in prison, her sister's life or death was unknown, and she had fled in a mess. All of this was thanks to Fang Jiangyi!
The man she called brother - in - law!
Her father had trained him as the future heir, paved the way for him, and expanded his connections. Her sister loved him deeply and had given everything for him. And she had respected and trusted him, always thinking that he was the best person to her besides her father.
She couldn't hold back her emotions. With her head down, her tears dropped on the quilt, staining it one by one.
"You hate him, don't you? You hate that you've only just seen his true face now." A hand with well - defined knuckles handed over a tissue.
Yanxia turned her face. The man was standing beside the bed, looking as handsome as a god.
Lu Qianzhou squinted slightly and said in a deep voice, "I can help you deal with 80% of your troubles, help you take revenge on Fang Jiangyi, and get back what belongs to you. Do you want to cooperate?"
