Chapter 586: Chapter 585: Could it be Predestined?
"They said they temporarily can’t file the case, right?" Zhen Yu cut in without thinking!
Last life, she had heard that there was a time limit to accept such cases, one must be ’missing’ for a full 24 hours!
That ass of a system might not care for human feeling, but it sure is a dog in its strict enforcement!
Like in the situation she encountered today, if she hadn’t managed to rescue herself in time, after really being held captive for 24 hours, she wouldn’t just be an ’old maid’, but as cold as one too!
So what’s the point of even reporting it! After all, in ten months, she might as well be holding a baby!
"Right! They said because the time hasn’t passed, they won’t handle it! They’re just too much!" Han Mingyue spoke with a tone so full of resentment, it left Zhen Yu stunned!
She had never heard the usually gentle Han Mingyue speak ill of others with such a tone! Today was a first, and it looked like he was genuinely blinded by anger!
"It’s okay, no need to worry, I’m safe now!" Fearing Han Mingyue would get too upset, Zhen Yu hurried to comfort him and swiftly changed the subject.
"Where are you running from? Watch out for cars on the road! We can talk more when you get here!"
"Got it! I’m nearby! I learned from a waitress in a restaurant at the entrance of your residential complex that early this morning, there was a strange man wearing a hat and a mask who carried someone across from their store! They said he went in this direction!"
"That must be me!"
"Xiao Yu! Xiao Yu, I was really about to worry myself to death! But, but! Ai! Xiao Yu, wait for me! I’ll be right there! Don’t you hang up the phone!"
Han Mingyue’s voice suddenly became helpless and choked up, causing Zhen Yu’s nose to twitch with emotion.
"Okay! I won’t hang up! I’ll wait right here for you!" Zhen Yu blinked hard, hastily agreed, and repeated, "Don’t talk now, just focus on the road! Be careful with the traffic!"
Han Mingyue didn’t respond again, obviously taking Zhen Yu’s words to heart.
Taking advantage of this gap, Zhen Yu hurriedly tied Ju Ming’s feet with a rope and gave him a good kick!
Isn’t there a saying? Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent!
Er... it seems to go something like that...
Zhen Yu took a bottle of water out of her space to drink a few sips...
But at that moment, she realized she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, unable to twist open even a bottle cap.
—
As he pulled the door open, the usually composed and elegant young man burst into Zhen Yu’s arms with a cold desperation.
Zhen Yu quickly hugged him back and patted his back as if consoling a child.
When she first opened the door, she caught a glimpse of redness in the corners of his eyes as if he had cried...
"Ah!" Zhen Yu sighed silently in her heart.
No wonder future relationship experts would say, ’No matter how old a man gets, he’ll always be like a child.’
This guy who is nearly eighteen is definitely one of them!
Han Mingyue only held Zhen Yu tightly for a second or two before suddenly pushing her away and started to search her frantically!
"Xiao Yu, are you hurt?! Are you really okay?!"
"I’m fine, I’m fine! I’m really okay... Ouch!"
Han Mingyue’s expression was too tense, making Zhen Yu even forget the injury on her own head! While she was casually dismissing it, Han Mingyue pressed down hard on the back of her head, causing her to cry out in pain immediately!
"What’s going on?!" Han Mingyue quickly withdrew his hand, only to see the red that had just stained his palm!
"Blood! Your head,"
"Uh, hit by a brick."
For some reason, Zhen Yu suddenly felt quite embarrassed...
---
Even with an injury on her head, Zhen Yu insisted on waiting right there for... to arrive!
Seeing that she wasn’t too out of sorts except for being weak, Han Mingyue nodded in agreement. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhen Yu recounted everything that had happened that morning in detail.
After listening, Han Mingyue’s face contorted with anger! He looked like he was ready to kill Ju Ming, and without a word, he went over and started pummeling Ju Ming relentlessly!
Zhen Yu was really too weak to intervene, or else she would have taken matters into her own hands earlier! Why else would Ju Ming be comfortably pretending to be dead on the ground?
So, Zhen Yu didn’t stop Han Mingyue at all, only saying, "Don’t beat him to death," before sitting down to watch the show.
While watching, Zhen Yu wasn’t idle either; with a scheming heart, she pulled out trousers and a long-sleeve shirt from Ju Ming’s clothes and kept them, then took the rest into her space!
She then directed Little White Snake to slither into the corner, and also took the bag of Ju Ming’s change of clothes into her space!
As for Little Liu’er being able to directly use Zhen Yu’s space to take items after having a white snake’s body, she discovered this unintentionally when it turned off the recorder!
In its words, it was—
[Everyone here has a body for the first time, do you think you know everything by birth?!]
---
Although it’s April, the weather in the northeast is still bitterly cold!
Just wearing a single layer of clothing and heading to the police station to squat behind bars, Zhen Yu doesn’t believe she can’t freeze Ju Ming into a dog!
When the police car arrived on the street with its siren, the other three members of the Han Family quickly gathered around!
Then, standing among the crowd, they watched Han Mingyue, his face half-covered with a hoodie, and the girl in his arms who also wore a hat and didn’t show even a bit of her face...
Afterward, Han Mingyue received a call from Mr. Han and met his father, who took a taxi over, at the police station.
After handing over the recorder as evidence, the group headed straight to the hospital in a cab.
It wasn’t until she was lying quietly in the hospital bed receiving an IV that Zhen Yu finally remembered to be scared and grateful! When she suddenly disappeared, Han Mingyue didn’t immediately rush to notify Zhen Yan, who was scheduled to teach at school; instead, he went straight home and got his parents and brother all mobilized!
So the family of four from the Han Family closed the pharmacy early in the morning and began searching the streets.
Yet, even with strength in numbers, not a single person could find her!
If Ju Ming hadn’t been concerned about the injury on her head bleeding too much and causing trouble, he wouldn’t have specially left to buy the medicine and gauze needed for dressing the wound!
And if that hadn’t happened, Zhen Yu might have fallen victim to his vile deeds before she even had a chance to regain consciousness!
It was also because Han Mingyue unintentionally sent all the members of the Han Family away, causing the closest Han Family Pharmacy to close, that Ju Ming had to walk a bit further—to a more distant pharmacy—to buy medicine!
That incident gave Zhen Yu precious time to come to her senses!
So, it’s said—misfortune may be a blessing in disguise? Every drink and peck is predestined!
