Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 735: Was Betrayed

After Xia Ruoxin hung up, she saw on the couch and accompanied Shen Wei. Everyone in the clinic had gone home, but she did not dare to leave or bring Shen Wei out of the place. Regardless of Shen Wei’s injury, Shen Wei had already told her before the surgery that she should not leak her tracks to anyone, including Brother San. Everything should wait until she wakes up.

However, she did not know that a bunch of people was anxiously searching for something.

Lin Qing stood outside the clinic for a really long time but did not see anyone coming out. The sky was getting darker so when he turned around to leave, he met a few fierce men on the streets.

These people did not pay any attention to a student like Lin Qing, but one of them called out to him.

“Boy, come over.”

Lin Qing stopped in his tracks and walked over. That man took out a hundred-dollar bill and placed it in front of Lin Qing.

“Tell us, did you see an injured person who is pretty and has long hair?” he asked Lin Qing. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his mouth was raised in a manner that suggests he had bad intentions.

Lin Qing shook his head. “I didn’t see anyone.”

The man shoved the money to Lin Qing’s hand before patting him on his head. “This hundred dollars is for you. Remember, don’t tell anyone that you’ve seen us; if not, I’ll twist your head off.”

Lin Qing held the note tightly and pressed his lips together before turning around and walking away. Actually, he knew who they were looking for. It was the woman that Xia Ruoxin brought away. She had an injury on her stomach; he had seen her fingers stained with blood, and she also had curly hair.

However, these people were not good. If he said it…

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and yelled to the men not far away.

“Uncle, are you looking for an Auntie with an injury on her stomach?”

The men turned their heads over and walked towards him in big steps before carrying him up. “Kid, say. Where did you see her?”

Lin Qing pointed towards the front. “There’s a clinic in front; they’re there.” He said ‘they’ and not ‘she’.

“That’s a good boy.” The man who gave Lin Qing money took out a few more hundred-dollar bills and stuffed it in his school bag. Then, he eyed the people beside him and ran towards the clinic with big strides.

They knew that children would not lie. Yes, children should not lie; but that did not mean that every child was like that.

Lin Qing released his hand, and the hundred-dollar bills dropped on the floor. He walked in front slowly and suddenly ran like a maniac continuously, allowing the wind to hit his face bringing about pain.

He ran.

He ran and ran, without a care about what happened behind him.

At that time—in the clinic, Xia Ruoxin was resting against the wall and was starting to get sleepy. All of a sudden, Shen Wei opened her eyes and pulled Xia Ruoxin’s hand.

Xia Ruoxin was alerted, too. When she was about to say something, Shen Wei put her hand on her lip. “Shh. Don’t say anything; someone’s coming.” She pointed to the inside. “Hide first and don’t come out.”

When she finished talking, she knitted her eyebrows in discomfort; her injury must have acted up again.

Xia Ruoxin wanted to say something, but Shen Wei pushed her. “Remember, don’t come out. Do NOT come out.”

Xia Ruoxin bit her lips, took her bag, and ran inside. The lights in the clinic were not on so it was very dark. She hid herself in the corner and shakily took out her bag. She opened the bag and took out the things inside which were mostly medicine that the doctor gave Shen Wei. For some reason, she shoved the medicine into her pocket; perhaps a natural reaction towards danger. She took out her phone and pressed it, but it was a black screen.

Bang! Someone was smashing the door, and her phone fell to the floor.

Bang! This was the sound of the door crashing.

“Shen Wei, why are you not running anymore?”

She heard a man’s voice that was cold and heartless as if it was making an inhumane mockery. This was not a reunion but revenge.

Shen Wei struggled to sit up, and her gaze stopped at the door behind her. Quickly, she kept her gaze and was fast enough to not be noticed.

She breathed out gently before coming down from the sickbed.

“What do you want from me?” She sneered. As a result of her blood loss, her red lip had lost its color.

“Nothing. Just that someone doesn’t want you to have a good time.” Another man’s voice added.

Shen Wei suddenly laughed, but it was a bitter laugh. After trying for so long, she could not believe that she still did not escape from that woman. She had better make sure that she would not see her again. It was best if she died now; if not—one day, she would let that woman know what it felt like to be rather dead than alive.

The two men came forward and directly dragged Shen Wei to the outside. Shen Wei’s remaining gaze swept across the door, and when her eyes drooped, there was a slight worry in her eyes.

Please don’t come out, Xia Ruoxin. Do not come out.

“Where are you bringing her?” Xia Ruoxin suddenly ran out from the inside and held the bag in her hand tightly as she glared at the men who had dubious backgrounds. Where were they going to bring Shen Wei to? She was still sick and had an injury.

“There’s still another person…” The few people glanced at each other and had a mutual understanding from the other party’s eyes.

“RUN!”

Shen Wei yelled to Xia Ruoxin, but before Xia Ruoxin could react, she felt a pain at the back of her head and lost consciousness. The same thing had also happened to Shen Wei.

When Xia Ruoxin woke up, she was not even sure how long had passed. She opened her eyes, but it was pitch black in front of her. Extending her hand, she tried to feel for something, but when she stepped her first step, she felt as if she had stepped on something. Moreover, a person’s moan came afterward.

She felt a pang in her heart and did not dare to move because she seemed to have stepped on someone previously.

Carefully, she climbed back to her original position.

She hugged her arm tightly, and with the oppression of the darkness, the air she breathed in felt slow and suffocating.

At this time, she suddenly heard the door creak; and slowly, a door opened. As she was still in the dark, she could not get used to the light that suddenly poured in.
