Chapter 28: Getting Saved

Translator: Lordbluefire 

Chu Yu closed his eyes, and his breathing became even weaker. If one didn’t take a closer look, they wouldn’t be able to tell that his chest was moving.

Lin Wanru squatted down and shook his shoulders. “Chu Yu! Wake up! You aren’t allowed to die! You aren’t allowed to die!”

Her mind was filled with the scene of how Shen Ruojing and Chu Cichen had sneaked out secretly to meet each other.

At the thought of Shen Ruojing rising in status in the future, of how those people who were currying up to her would change to curry up to Shen Ruojing while she would lose everything and be mocked…

No!

She was the only one that could become Mrs. Chu!

Lin Wanru stood up abruptly and acted as if she was possessed. “Send him to the hospital! I want him to be saved!”

Madam Lin slapped her face angrily. “Come to your senses!”

Lin Wanru held her face and looked at the kidnappers around her angrily. “I told you, Chu Yu has to live. Why did you guys abuse him?!”

When the leader of the kidnappers heard this, he glared at the one who had kicked the child.

Back then, when the child was caught after his attempt to escape, it must have been because this guy had kicked the child too hard, causing his internal organs to bleed…

Lin Wanru’s beatings were mostly minor and not fatal at all.

The kidnapper who had kicked Chu Yu had a strong physique and bulging muscles. In addition, his fist was the size of Chu Yu’s head. Like his name, Da Shan*, he was a simple-minded guy. When he saw his big bro looking at him, he scratched his head and looked at Chu Yu with a complicated gaze. “I only kicked him lightly. How would I know that he is so weak in holding up against beatings?”

The leader coughed. This guy was the best at fighting amongst them all. He could take the other four of them on by himself.

Hence, the leader didn’t dare to flare up and could only look toward Lin Wanru. “If it’s just a small illness or injury, we have people that we can trust to help with these. But given his condition now, he won’t survive even if we send him to the hospital. He coughed up so much blood. It’s too late. Even God won’t be able to save him, unless…”

Lin Wanru seemed as if she had managed to grasp a hint of hope. “Unless what?”

However, the kidnapper didn’t continue. “It’s nothing. Humans won’t be able to live after they lose one-third of their blood. Don’t be having wishful thoughts!”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanru’s legs turned soft and she said in a daze, “So there is no other way out? Am I going to have to watch as Shen Ruojing becomes Mrs. Chu and everyone else mocks me?”

Madam Lin couldn’t bear to see her daughter like this.

She then took a deep breath and suddenly said, “It’s not that there’s no other way. If Shen Ruojing is the murderer who killed Chu Yu, and you’re the victim’s mother, the Chu Family will forever owe us!”

Lin Wanru’s eyes lit up!

–

Ever since Shen Ruojing returned home with her parents, she was a little distracted.

She looked at her phone from time to time, as though she was waiting for news from someone important.

When Chu Tianye saw this, he secretly asked Jing Zhen, “Grandfather, did anyone borrow money from our family?”

“No, why do you ask?”

“Mommy has been staring at her phone all this while. Isn’t she waiting for someone to return her money?”

“…”

Knowing that Chu Tianye was deliberately joking to make her happy, Shen Ruojing patted Chu Tianye’s head and went upstairs with her phone.

Chu Tianye suddenly felt a sense of danger. “Sister, from how she’s acting, Mommy must have another dog* outside.”

The eyes of Chu Xiaomeng, who was hiding in the corner and feeling bored because she didn’t have any books to read, lit up. “Where? Can I pat it?”

Chu Tianye: “…”

After Shen Ruojing headed upstairs, she dialed a number anxiously.

The call was just picked up when a coquettish and crisp voice rang out from the other side. “Baby Jing, what is it? Do you have another DNA test you need me to do for you?”

Shen Ruojing’s tone was very cold. “Get to business.”

The other party seemed to have noticed her solemnity, and their voice became a little more serious. However, this person was born with a child-like voice. “No one contacted me to go to the Lin Family’s residence.”

Shen Ruojing asked, “Could it be that the Lin Family looked for other doctors?”

“How could they? I’m famous for being tight-lipped in the underworld. If it’s something as secretive as what you said, the people in the underworld will definitely come looking for me… Alright, actually, I’ve been keeping an eye on them. No one was called to the Lin Family’s residence for treatment today.”

Shen Ruojing’s eyes narrowed.

The Lin Family didn’t call for a doctor?

Why?

Was it because Madam Lin did not believe her in the end, or was Lin Wanru taking a step in retreat in order to save her own life?

Or perhaps Chu Yu’s acting skills did not deceive them?

Or maybe it was…

The thought of the last possibility made her grip her phone tightly.

When she saw Chu Yu at the Lin Family’s residence today, his small face was dirty and his complexion couldn’t be seen. The injuries that Lin Wanru had inflicted were only superficial and not fatal. Therefore, she had never thought that Chu Yu would be seriously ill to the extent that he couldn’t be saved!

Shen Ruojing suddenly shot up to her feet.

Her heart seemed to be beating wildly as she walked out in a panic.

She couldn’t wait anymore.

She felt a faint sense of uneasiness!

It was already dark outside, but she wanted to visit the Lin Family’s residence at night to ensure Chu Yu’s safety.

Shen Ruojing hung up the phone and ran downstairs. She didn’t say anything to her family and directly got on the motorbike to rush out.

Before she left the district, she suddenly saw a black sedan zooming past her.

The man driving was wearing sunglasses, but Shen Ruojing recognized him at a glance as one of the people who had kidnapped Chu Yu! She had seen this person’s face through the vent today!

After Lin Wanru abused Chu Yu, this person was the one who roughly turned Chu Yu over to confirm if he was still alive.

Hence, she turned the motorbike around and followed the sedan.

She saw the sedan driving toward a corner without any surveillance cameras…

This small district in Sea City’s suburbs consisted mostly of three-story western-style buildings with their backs facing the mountains, and there were also a few villas built on the mountain. At this moment, the car drove straight into the deep mountains. Then, the kidnapper took out a black bag from the trunk and placed it under a tree.

The shape of that bag…

Shen Ruojing didn’t dare to imagine things!

She directly rushed forward and punched the kidnapper’s head.

The kidnapper had a tough and muscular physique that was like a small mountain.

However, he was extremely agile. When he heard the wind generated from the punch behind him, he picked up the black bag and rolled away. After pulling away, he saw Shen Ruojing in the dark.

The woman looked like Asura from hell, and her eyes were looking straight at his hand.

Her gaze caused the kidnapper to shudder.

Just then, another black shadow came attacking from the side. The person was dressed in black clothes, black pants, and a black cap. His movements were fast and vicious as he attacked the kidnapper.

Left without a choice, the kidnapper could only throw away the bag in his hand and fight the man in black.

The kidnapper was tall, and the man in black was slender and thin, seeming to be half the size of the kidnapper. However, as soon as the two of them fought, Shen Ruojing sensed that neither of them was simple!

Fortunately, she hadn’t barged into the Lin Family’s residence to save Chu Yu earlier. If just one kidnapper was already so strong, who could guarantee that she’d be able to save Chu Yu when there were five of them?

As for that man in black, he seemed to have merged with the moonlight. He found an opportunity and kicked the kidnapper in the chest, causing him to back off repeatedly.

The kidnapper then took the opportunity to escape into the car, fleeing.

The man in black did not chase after him. Instead, he looked at Shen Ruojing and nodded at her before leaving quickly.

Shen Ruojing did not probe who the man in black was. She quickly rushed to the black bag and opened the zipper with trembling hands. She saw that it was indeed… Chu Yu!!!

The small child lay there without moving.

Shen Ruojing tore up his clothes and pressed his pulse. At the next instant, she looked at him in disbelief…
