“What are you trying to do? You, you, if you come any closer, I’m going to scream!”
Xia Chuci clutched the bedsheets, trembling, her eyes vigilantly watching the other person’s every move.
Dr. Ye slowly walked toward her, exuding the swagger of a malicious bully intent on harassing a decent woman. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Go ahead and scream. Even if you scream until your throat is hoarse, no one will come to save you.”
Xia Chuci felt a looming threat. In a panic, she grabbed the pillow beside her and hurled it at her with all her might.
However, it was useless. Dr. Ye easily caught the pillow, effortlessly neutralizing her attack.
“Oho, so energetic, you won’t die anytime soon. I advise you to be a good girl, or don’t you come crying to me later if I hurt you.”
No matter how much she struggled, Xia Chuci couldn’t escape the woman’s grasp. She was ultimately pressed firmly onto the bed, completely immobile.
Subsequently, a sound of bones cracking emanated from the medical room, accompanied by screams of agony.
“Aah aah aah—”
A few minutes later, the scene gradually changed. The agonizing screams slowly morphed into suggestive moans and cries.
“Mmm~ So comfortable, don’t stop… Gentle, be gentle… Yes, yes, right there…”
In the medical room, Xia Chuci was now lying face down on the sickbed, her eyes glazed over, enjoying Dr. Ye’s superb and skillful massage technique.
Dr. Ye said proudly, “How is it? Isn’t my ancestral bone-relaxing massage technique amazing? Consider yourself lucky today. Not everyone gets this kind of treatment.”
Xia Chuci laughed, “Amazing, of course, it’s amazing. Which famous doctor’s descendant are you to possess such incredible ancestral skill?”
Dr. Ye glanced at her and sneered, “What, trying to trick information out of me indirectly?”
Xia Chuci pouted and said, “Yes, if I ask directly, you definitely won’t tell me, so I have to try to trick it out of you indirectly.”
“Why don’t you try and see?”
Xia Chuci looked at her suspiciously and tentatively asked, “Where is this place?”
Dr. Ye answered truthfully, “On a ship.”
Huh, she actually answered. Xia Chuci quickly followed up with, “Did Su Wenchang kidnap me and bring me here?”
“Yes. A reminder: you have one last question remaining.”
Xia Chuci: …
Only three questions? Why didn’t you say so earlier? I wasted two questions for nothing.
Xia Chuci pondered for a moment and asked, “How much longer do I have to stay here before Su Wenchang comes to see me?”
Dr. Ye answered confidently, “I don’t know.”
Well, that was another wasted question.
Xia Chuci glared at her angrily. Dr. Ye said helplessly, “I truly don’t know, but I guess he’ll come to see you tomorrow at the latest.”
“Why?”
Dr. Ye said calmly, “Because there’s a timed bomb on the ship that will explode in two days.”
Holy crap! Seriously?!
Is it necessary to play such a high-stakes game?!
Xia Chuci wiped away the non-existent sweat on her forehead and asked, “Then why are you so calm? Aren’t you afraid of death?”
Dr. Ye said while tidying her medical instruments, “I’m a normal person, of course, I’m afraid of death. Show me one person in this world who isn’t afraid of death. It’s just that I’m leaving soon, so this bomb has little to do with me.”
Xia Chuci accused, “You’re just going to pack up and leave? Didn’t you say ‘the healer’s heart is benevolent’? It’s bad enough that you’re in cahoots with Su Wenchang, but how can you refuse to save lives and treat human life like dirt?”
Dr. Ye ignored her words and changed the subject: “I examined you just now. You have a mild concussion, no big deal. It will heal with rest.”
Xia Chuci asked dejectedly, “When did you examine me?”
“While I was massaging you, of course. My hands can feel the problem just by touching.”
Xia Chuci was skeptical, “Is that really true? You’re pulling my leg.”
“Of course it’s true. Besides the concussion, I felt something else on you. Want to know what it is?”
“What?” Xia Chuci looked at her nervously. I don’t have some serious illness, do I?
Dr. Ye suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, “I also felt that you are a stunning beauty.”
Xia Chuci’s face darkened. She reached out and tugged at her cheek skin, saying, “Are you really a man disguised as a woman? Even hooligans are more decent than you. Your skin texture is too realistic.”
Dr. Ye struggled free from her devil’s claws, rubbing her pinched and aching face. Her mouth was still unyielding: “The real deal. If you don’t believe me, you can verify it yourself.”
Saying this, she grabbed Xia Chuci’s hand and reached toward her chest.
Xia Chuci had never seen anyone so unrestrained. She was so shocked that she instantly snatched her hand back and exclaimed, “What are you trying to do!”
Dr. Ye chuckled, “Such a shy little pepper. Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I really must go.”
She picked up the medical kit and started walking out. Xia Chuci shouted at her retreating back, “Hey, I still don’t know your name!”
Dr. Ye turned her head, winked her right eye at her, and teased, “Babe, if you survive, we’ll meet again in the future. It won’t be too late to tell you my name then.”
Xia Chuci muttered internally: Hmph, tell me or not, I don’t want to see you again.
After Dr. Ye left, the Scarred Man brought Xia Chuci back to the room where she was initially confined. Thus, she began a long and boring wait.
She waited from day to night, and then from night to daybreak. The quiet corridor outside finally sounded with footsteps.
Judging by the sound, it wasn’t just the Scarred Man alone.
Xia Chuci suddenly sprang up from the bed, her heart pounding. Although she had been waiting for Su Wenchang’s appearance, when this moment truly arrived, she couldn’t help but feel nervous.
The bolted door was opened, and a group of people entered. The person leading them was Su Wenchang, whom she hadn’t seen for days.
The current Su Wenchang was completely different from his usual smiling and joking self. His eyes were cold and sharp, his cheeks slightly sunken, and he looked especially aggressive.
Xia Chuci couldn’t help but swallow. This unfamiliar Su Wenchang made her scalp tingle, especially the way he looked at her, like a hungry viper looking at a small field mouse.
“You have quite the tenacity for life. You really are his spawn.”
“You flatter me. Thanks to you, I’m not destined to die. If God doesn’t take me, I can’t help it, right?”
Su Wenchang nodded and said, “You have a point. I just wonder if God will take your life this time.”
Don’t worry, He won’t. I advise you to stay out of the heroine’s business.
Xia Chuci rolled her eyes, saying, “You didn’t kidnap me just to discuss whether God will take my life, did you?”
“Of course not. I invited you here this time because I need your help with something.”
Xia Chuci muttered internally: Well, thank you very much! This is the first time in both my lives that I’ve been ‘invited’ in this manner!
Su Wenchang slightly narrowed his eyes and said something completely irrelevant, “If the punch doesn’t land on your own body, you can’t truly empathize, wouldn’t you agree?”
Xia Chuci shivered violently, her hands instinctively clenching into fists. Although she didn’t understand what he was saying, his bone-chilling tone truly sent shivers down her spine.
What exactly does this man want to do?
Xia Chuci was increasingly confused. If Su Wenchang only wanted money to escape, why would he look like he wanted to die together?
Or was his real purpose actually to retaliate against someone?
Xia Chuci clenched her jaw and asked, “What exactly do you want me to do? Just say it.”
“Straightforward. You’re a smart person.”
Su Wenchang gave her an approving look, then pulled out a mobile phone and tossed it to her, saying, “Call Su Wenhua. Tell him to come to Luohui Pier tonight at seven, bringing what I want. Remember, he must come alone. Otherwise… I can’t guarantee that something terrible won’t happen.”
Xia Chuci gasped. It seemed Su Wenchang’s goal was not as simple as just money. It was highly likely that he was seeking revenge against Su Wenhua.
Su Wenhua and Su Wenchang were half-brothers, and the animosity between the two was extremely deep. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why Su Wenchang did something so inhumane as swapping his biological niece more than twenty years ago.
This kidnapping incident was different from the original plot. Now, Xia Chuci had absolutely no idea what traps Su Wenchang had set, how many unknown dangers lay ahead, or whether Su Wenhua could escape unscathed as in the original novel.
She genuinely didn’t want Su Wenhua to take this risk, but she had no choice but to follow Su Wenchang’s instructions. The phone rang once and was immediately answered.
Xia Chuci forced herself to calm down and said, “Chairman, hello, this is Chuci.”
“Child, how are you? Are you hurt?”
Hearing Xia Chuci’s voice, the usually composed Su Wenhua’s tone became hurried.
Xia Chuci felt a warmth in her heart and reassured him, “I’m fine. Don’t worry.”
Su Wenchang was a little impatient, signaling her to quickly get to the point. Xia Chuci had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Chairman, tonight at seven, bring… what Su Wenchang wants, and come alone to Luohui Pier.”
The breathing on the other end of the phone became slightly heavy. After a moment of silence, Su Wenhua said in a deep voice, “Okay!”
Xia Chuci knew what this decision meant to Su Wenhua. She said gratefully, “Chairman, thank you. Be careful tonight.”
Before hanging up, Su Wenhua gently reassured her, “Child, don’t be afraid. Wait for me. Dad won’t let anything happen to you.”
Before Xia Chuci could respond, the phone was snatched by Su Wenchang, and the call was ended.
The word “Dad” struck her heart heavily. Bl00d relation was a very strange thing. Even though they had never interacted as father and daughter, once the truth was revealed, that bond of bl00d instantly pierced her soul, and the father-daughter affection deepened spontaneously.
Xia Chuci’s eyes were red, and she demanded, “What exactly do you want to do?”
“You’ll know tonight. What’s the rush?” Su Wenchang’s eyes suddenly became somewhat hollow. He muttered to himself, “It’s time for a final reckoning.”
