Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Sui slapped Han Xu’s shoulder, utterly shocked and excited, “Damn, Han Xu, look over there, isn’t that woman very similar to Tong Wanzhe? It’s her, right?”
For the past two years, Zhou Sui had been helping Han Xu search for her, and he was most familiar with Tong Wanzhe’s appearance. That figure, he was nearly entranced; it was identical. And at that moment, he saw the woman’s eyes. Even though she wore a mask, those eyes were also exactly the same. This couldn’t possibly be a coincidence.
Han Xu, who had been numb, followed Zhou Sui’s pointing finger and suddenly felt his breath catch.
Under the red maple tree, the woman tilted her head slightly, gazing at the scenery in the distance. Those eyes were the most familiar to him. And that profile, it was his Wanzhe. He could not be mistaken. Han Xu stared at the masked woman, uncontrollably drawn towards her.
Finally, the woman under the tree noticed them too. Seeing that it was Han Xu, her eyes widened in surprise. She immediately stood up, intending to run. But she was severely injured, originally pushed down in a wheelchair to breathe some fresh air downstairs, she couldn’t run fast. Anxious, she forgot about her injuries. Just as she stood up, a sharp pain shot through her, her legs went weak, and she began to fall!
Suddenly, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist, holding her up. Before she could react, the mask covering her face was removed.
Upon seeing Tong Jia’s face, Han Xu’s excitement and joy vanished instantly. In
that moment, he recoiled from her as it he had encountered a virus, shoving Tong Jia away.
Tong Jia was already injured, and with Han Xu’s push, she fell heavily to the ground. Her palms and knees scraped against the pavement, reopening old wounds. The pain was intense, as if her bones had broken again. It hurt so much that she could not speak, and she lacked the strength to escape. But she refused to accept her fate. Despite her weakened state, she tried to get up, but she could not summon any strength. She ended up on the ground, drenched in cold sweat.
Seeing this, Zhou Sui could not bear it and reached out to help Tong Jia up, but he was stopped by Han Xu’s people.
“What are you doing?” Zhou Sui frowned. This was too much, bullying someone like this.
Han Xu did not respond to his words. He grabbed Tong Jia by her hair and lifted her up, ignoring her pale face and showing no sympathy in his eyes. “You hide pretty well, huh? But what can you do? I knew you wouldn’t stay hidden forever! Tell me, where is Wanzhe? Why do you have her ring again? Don’t tell me you found it! Or, did you steal it?”
Tong Jia bit her lip, refusing to speak.
Han Xu’s anger intensified in his eyes. “Pretending to be mute with me? Never answering? Do you think I can’t handle you? You should know, insignificant people like you disappearing one day won’t be surprising at all! ”
Seeing Tong Jia’s continued silence, Han Xu gritted his teeth. “If you don’t speak up, do you believe I’ll send your mother to the underworld first? I don’t think there’s anyone from Chi Ming over there, right? He isn’t omnipotent! Or maybe, if I torment you like I torment her, how long do you think the old lady can hold on? Wait, she already has cancer, she probably can’t last a few hours, right?”
When mentioning Mei Yuxia, Tong Jia’s previously lifeless emotions suddenly flared up. “Don’t touch my mom. This has nothing to do with her…”
Her voice was clear and crisp, despite the trembling caused by intense pain. But mixed within, one could hear extreme hatred and a hint of fear.
However, the moment Han Xu heard her voice, he froze. He would never forget this voice, not in a thousand lifetimes! It was the voice he used to hear every night. He thought this woman only resembled Wanzhe in appearance, but the world was vast; it was normal for people to look alike. But why, even her voice was so similar?
A thought began to grow wildly in his mind… His grip around her neck suddenly loosened, as if he wanted to say something. But suddenly, he was kicked from behind and fell to the side. It was as if he did not feel it; he stared blankly as Tong Jia was helped up by Shen Qingyue, who had rushed in.
Shen Qingyue helped Tong Jia onto a wheelchair, her expression filled with worry. “How are you? Is the wound reopened?”
Tong Jia held her ribs, breathing heavily, and shook her head silently. But soon, she felt Han Xu’s gaze, her scalp tightening. She tightly grasped Shen Qingyue’s hand, desperate to hide her entire body..
