Imperial Treasure

Chapter 520 - 342 Highway_2

"Just insert it~~"

Boom!

Thunder and lightning tore through heaven and earth.

The flash of a blade..

In a moment, Zhuang Ziliu turned and left.

——————

Late at night, a pitch-black night, nearly a dozen cars rushed into Fuan District at top speed, and dozens of people got out.

Along that small path...

They ultimately found Yhan Qingwu, who had fainted in the small kitchen, as well as the basement, and even the table smeared with blood in the basement.

——————

Before dawn, the fine rain had stopped for a couple of Shichen Chinese Time, but the raindrops still clung affectionately to the green leaves and branches, hesitant to fall...

A drop of water finally fell, landing on the pale cheek of Sui Yi, who was lying sideways on a rock, flowing down her cheek into her lips.. Her lips slightly moved.

With a slight moan, Sui Yi opened her eyes, her vision blurred, her body felt as if it was being torn apart, burning hot, the heat starting from her heart...

Struggling to take out her cell phone from her pocket, she realized it was unresponsive, probably water-damaged and broken.

Weakly sitting up, Sui Yi gritted her teeth; she had to leave this place, or she would die!

——————

The mountain road in the early morning must have been refreshing, with its ethereal mist and peculiar rain, but as a private car drove along the mountain road, it suddenly slowed down. What did it see?

So early in the morning, around five or six o’clock... there was a woman covered in blood standing at the bus stop.. leaning against that post, silent and seemingly fused with the surroundings.

Could it be a Female Ghost?

And was that Female Ghost actually hailing a cab?

The car sped past her!

Sui Yi, somewhat fatigued, closed her eyes again. So it was like this... did they really think she was a Female Ghost?

The courage of people nowadays really is small...

But given her appearance, she couldn’t blame others for being scared. Was there really no way to get help today?

Sui Yi, with some difficulty, leaned on the post and slowly breathed in, suddenly..

The car that had just passed returned.

The car window rolled down.

A man, uncertain but still composed, looked at her, seemed to size her up a few times, and then still opened the car door and stepped out.

"Get in, I’ll take you to the hospital"

He didn’t even ask why she was in such a state.

This person was either very kind-hearted or overly confident in himself.

Or perhaps harboring ill intentions.

She leaned more towards the former in her judgment of him.

Sui Yi looked at him, "No need, just lend me your cell phone."

A cell phone?

The man, seeing her eyes still seemed clear, was puzzled but nevertheless handed her his cell phone.

Sui Yi quickly dialed Gong Jiu’s number.

"I am at the back of Fuan, on the mountainside by the east highway."

After hanging up, Sui Yi returned the cell phone, looking at the man: "Thank you."

The man was somewhat choked up. Her reticence and silence made him uncomfortable.

She wasn’t scamming, and she wasn’t a ghost. If she was truly injured, shouldn’t she be anxious for someone to treat her?

Why such a reaction?

It was beyond anything he had anticipated.

"In your condition, is that okay? I can get you to the hospital faster than your friends coming to get you," he said, his voice cold.

Maybe it was also because Sui Yi looked young and frail, most men of sound character couldn’t just leave her.

"They will be here soon..." Sui Yi closed her eyes and said no more.

Given that the girl seemed lucid, he didn’t feel right forcibly taking her to the hospital—it felt like kidnapping.

The man grimaced, ultimately walked towards his car.. then turned back, simply standing by the car, silently.

After a while, the sound of engines approached rapidly from down the mountain road, many cars...

The man saw these cars stop, and several people ran over. When the woman at the forefront reached her, she gave a small smile to these people, then collapsed...

Everyone watched her fall.

And they all saw her back and the post behind her, covered in a bright red.

——————

Sui Yi seemed to return to that first afternoon when she found Xiao Zhuang, a girl about her age, sitting alone on a pile of discarded wire posts in the playground, legs pulled up, her small body curled into a ball, gazing at the vast, empty sky, seemingly looking at nothing.

She walked over, her palm gently resting on her shoulder.

"Ah!" Xiao Zhuang was startled, her body recoiling, her instantaneous reaction and aura surprising her, though she quickly regained her composure, looking at her, still heart-racing, and then she gave a small smile, saying, "Ah Yi, it’s you.."

"Mhm," she sat down beside her, the two sitting together, gazing at the sky.

She was never fond of talking, no, rather she didn’t know what she should say... Her numbness seemed innate.

From the moment she became conscious, appearing here onward.

This place was her beginning, perhaps for a lifetime.

No wonder she, at such a young age, could think of the phrase ’for a lifetime’. But most kids in this orphanage were precocious, some even smarter than adults.

Like Xiao Zhuang, like Xiao Zhuang’s brother.

They were both extremely bright, though these two clever individuals always told her she was the smartest...

Was she smart?

She was just forgetful.

Xiao Zhuang was very cute and pretty, she didn’t know how to describe it; those people seemed to say she looked like those round, delicate-featured fairies in paintings, if she felt aggrieved or spoke in a soft tone, she could melt many hearts.

"Xiao Zhuang, it’s not safe in the orphanage lately... don’t wander off alone," she said to her then.

Xiao Zhuang looked at her, unable to remember her exact expression then, only faintly recalling her words.

"Ah Yi, Ah Yi... if... it’s just hypothetical, if I were a very bad person, would you never talk to me again?" she asked.

How had she responded then?

"No, as long as you are still Xiao Zhuang"

That night, she killed her. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on qidian.com with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
