C409 Asking for Help
Yan Duoya lay on the grass by the river, her face ashen. She looked at the pitch-black night sky, the stars in the sky, and the gurgling of the water in her ears, accompanied by the cries of the frogs. This should have been a peaceful and beautiful night, but this night had become a nightmare for her.
The men had long since left, but their cruel smiles when they left were etched deeply into her mind. Their sinister voices echoed in her ears, making her feel extremely disgusted. Her tears seemed to have dried long ago, and her eyes were empty and lifeless.
Yan Duoya struggled to sit up and shakily picked up the clothes left behind by the men. With trembling hands, she put them on and slowly made her way to the river bank. She really wanted to jump down, but in the end, she couldn't bear to part with her Soong Family. Thus, she stopped and slowly squatted down.
Under the moonlight, the calm surface of the river was like a mirror. Seeing the wounds on her body, Yan Duoya finally realized the despair she had when Soong Shiyan had been tainted by others.
Yan Duoya could still remember, at that time, Soong Shiyan was lying powerlessly on the ground after she found out the truth. She looked at him with a sorrowful expression, begging him with tears all over her face, begging him to let her go. However, at that time, when she saw Soong Shiyan's face of despair, she didn't have a shred of sympathy in her heart. Instead, she felt carefree and happy — — The hatred she had felt over the years finally lessened a little at the moment Soong Shiyan was humiliated. Therefore, she left the warehouse without any hesitation and stood outside the door, finally leaving in satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, the same thing actually happened to her today. Yan Duoya couldn't help but smile wryly — it looked like this was the punishment of the heavens! Previously, she had done such dirty things to Soong Shiyan, which was why she was now experiencing all of the pain that Soong Shiyan had gone through!
"Heavens, do you really exist?" Yan Duoya asked in a low voice as she looked up at the night sky.
Yan Duoya was the only one on the river bank as there weren't many people in the two or three in the morning. As a result, the surroundings were completely silent. The only sound that could be heard was the croaking of frogs in the grass and the sound of running water. Yan Duoya asked this question, but no one answered her.
"God, if you really exist, then why didn't you stop me when I was harming Soong Shiyan and make me stop in time?" Yan Duoya wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes as she quietly asked.
"You just watch as I make mistakes one step at a time. In the end, it's all over — God, you're so merciful, yet so heartless …"
Yan Duoya bent over to wash herself with water. She dragged her bruised and exhausted body away from the river – she no longer wanted to stay in this nightmare place.
… ….
Just a moment ago, Yan Duoya's bag of cash and jewelry had already been taken away, so now, she was truly penniless. More importantly, her wig was also missing. Now that she had no money, it was hard for her to move an inch in this unfamiliar place. Furthermore, without the disguise of a wig, she could easily be recognized as the "Soong Shiyan" who killed police and escaped the jail.
Of course, the most important thing was that when she was unconscious, she heard that man called "Chen" say that they would report to the police station tomorrow and that they had seen her nearby. This way, they would not only get a bonus from the Public Security Bureau, but they could also get her arrested and put in jail earlier — that was the only way they could be at ease and not have to worry about when Soong Shiyan would send her killer to take their lives.
When she thought of the possibility that she would be caught by the police tomorrow, Yan Duoya became extremely worried — No, she couldn't do as those men wished. She couldn't be caught! The men had done this to her. They had recorded the footage. They had even planned to call the police and send her to jail. She definitely wouldn't let them off so easily. She wanted them to pay a terrible price for what they had done!
As she thought about it, Yan Duoya felt that the wounds on her body were no longer painful, and her legs also needed to be stronger. However, her speed slowed down after a few steps — if she walked slowly, she would probably be caught by the police before she could even walk out of the small town tomorrow. Now, she had to ask for help and quickly leave this place that she hated so much!
As the saying goes, a dragon that wanders the shallows is played by a shrimp, while a tiger that falls to the ground is bullied by a dog. Now that she had become a wanted criminal, how could those people be willing to help her when they didn't even have enough time to mock or mock her? Furthermore, the upper class had always hated her. If she were to seek help from those people, wouldn't she be courting death?
Jing Sung had given her so much jewelry and cash that she had been told not to contact the police for the time being. But now, she had no money and no one else to turn to. In the end, she had no choice but to brazenly ask Jing Sung for help!
With that thought, Yan Duoya continued moving forward.
In the small town in the middle of the night, there was not a single soul around. Even the roadside stall had been cleaned up and closed for a long time. The street lights were changing between good and bad, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, bringing with it an atmosphere of horror movies.
Yan Duoya walked alone in the unfamiliar and dark street. Her heart was beating rapidly, fearing that something terrifying would appear out of the shadows. She couldn't help but tightly hold her arms, wanting to give herself a sense of security.
The small town was indeed backward. Not far away, he found a telephone booth on a street corner. As for this phone, it seemed to still work. Seeing this, a trace of happiness appeared on Yan Duoya's face. However, in the next second, a trace of worry appeared on her face — she was penniless, and looking at this phone number and not being able to use it, it was truly disheartening.
Yan Duoya slowly sat down on the floor. Leaning against the transparent glass of the phone booth, a wry smile appeared on her face. A wry smile appeared in her eyes — it seemed that the heavens were really going to kill her!
Yan Duoya was a little angry as she pounded the ground with her hands. However, she suddenly felt as if something had pressed down on her. She was somewhat surprised. Borrowing the dim light outside, she felt around on the ground — it was actually a coin worth one yuan. Maybe someone accidentally dropped the coin on the floor when he was on the phone.
Seeing this, Yan Duoya's face was full of excitement — Heaven never forsakes no escape. Now, with this coin, she could finally ask Jing Sung for help! She knew that she, Yan Duoya, wouldn't be caught so easily!
Yan Duoya stood up and silently made a draft in her mind. After all, the number of minutes spent on the phone was limited, so she had to cut to the chase. Yan Duoya put in a coin and dialed the number she was familiar with — fortunately, Jing Sung was her only friend. She often contacted Jing Sung on the phone, and after a while, she took down Jing Sung's phone number. Otherwise, she really wouldn't have been able to ask for help right now.
… ….
Soong Shiyan was still sleeping when she suddenly heard her cell phone ring. She immediately woke up. In just a few seconds, she was completely awake. Ever since the night that her Soong Family met with an accident, she had received her father's call in the middle of the night. From then on, Soong Shiyan had a habit: When she slept, she would never turn off her phone, nor would she set her phone to mute.
Soong Shiyan sat up and picked up her cell phone from the bedside table. She looked at the caller ID and found that it was a string of unfamiliar numbers.
Seeing this unfamiliar number, Soong Shiyan's first reaction was Yan Duoya. Everything that had happened to Yan Duoya was under her control. Of course, that included what had happened to Yan Duoya tonight. After all, the two men who had 'chatted' at the roadside stall had been sent by Tiankui. She could guess that Yan Duoya would come to her for help because she had nowhere else to go.
Soong Shiyan smiled coldly as she thought of this. She turned the phone silent and tossed it to the side. Then, she continued to lie down on her bed. She looked at the ceiling above her head with a cold smile.
… ….
Yan Duoya made more than ten calls, but no one answered. In the end, Yan Duoya's heart was filled with despair — — Yes, it was the middle of the night. Jing Sung wasn't a night owl, so she was naturally sleeping. How could Jing Sung know that he had called her at this time?
If she really wanted to contact Jing Sung, she wouldn't be able to do so until at least seven in the morning. However, by that time, it would already be dawn. Those men would have already reported the case, and the police might already be on their way to arrest her. Even if Jing Sung had sent someone to pick her up immediately after receiving her call, she probably wouldn't have made it in time.
Yan Duoya heaved a long sigh when she thought of this — it seemed that the heavens were really about to kill her! 'Forget it. 'Since that was the case, there was no need for her to continue resisting – after all, how could a mere mortal like her be able to go against the will of heaven?
Yan Duoya was about to leave the phone booth and turn herself in at the police station — at least so that she could sleep well in the detention center tonight and not have to go back to the street. And, perhaps, the judge, on account of her self-surrender, gave her a lighter sentence for murdering the police and escaping the prison.
Yan Duoya pushed open the door of the phone booth and was about to leave for the police station. At this moment, the slightly old phone suddenly rang. At first, Yan Duoya was a little surprised, but in the next second, her face was full of happiness. She wanted to shout out loud to express her excitement at this moment — — Jing Sung, she actually called me back!
Yan Duoya had no intention of turning herself in. She rushed over to the phone, her hands trembling as she picked up the phone. Her voice carried a trace of unconcealable joy. "Hello …"
"Hey, Little Li, have you considered about the matter I told you last time?" On the other end of the phone, a deep male voice rang.
Hearing this, Yan Duoya realized that the person had made the wrong call. With a dejected expression, she coldly snorted and said, "You made the wrong call. This is a public phone!" With that, Yan Duoya hung up the phone without hesitation.
Yan Duoya pushed open the door of the phone booth again and was about to leave when the phone rang again. Yan Duoya didn't want to care about the phone anymore, but something seemed to be pulling her towards the phone and slowly picked it up.
"Who are you? Why do you call me so many times in the middle of the night? " On the other end of the phone, Soong Shiyan pretended not to know what had happened.
Hearing this, Yan Duoya was so excited that tears started streaming down her face. Jing Sung, she actually called back when she was in despair! Fortunately, she was in no hurry to leave, or else she would have lived in the prison she feared the most.
"Jing Sung, it's me..." Yan Duoya answered. However, she had only said these four words before she started sobbing. It was extremely heartbreaking to hear that.
Soong Shiyan's heart was still soft, but when facing Yan Duoya, her enemy, her heart was like an iron wall. No matter how tragic Yan Duoya was, her heart wouldn't waver in the slightest because of it.
"Shiyan? Why is it you? " On the other end of the phone, Soong Shiyan's voice sounded somewhat surprised, but also a little concerned and worried.
"It's me, it's me." Yan Duoya said in a choked voice.
Soong Shiyan's voice sounded anxious, "Shiyan, didn't I ask someone to tell you not to contact me during this period? "We're close friends, and it's obvious in this circle. Maybe the police know about it too — if they've been listening in on my phone calls, then you've already exposed your location."
Hearing this, Yan Duoya sobbed as she choked on her tears, unable to catch her words as she replied, "Jing Sung, I was tainted by someone, and I was even filmed – they were afraid that I would take revenge, so they planned to call the police to arrest me tomorrow – I want to leave this place …"
Yan Duoya only gave a general idea, because she didn't want Soong Shiyan to know any more details.
Hearing that, Soong Shiyan laughed coldly. She didn't expect that not only did Yan Duoya get tainted by those men, but she was also taken a video by those men. It looks like the heavens couldn't bear to see this any longer, so they let Yan Duoya experience what had happened to her once.
Although Soong Shiyan was secretly delighted, there was still a hint of worry in her voice as she said to Yan Duoya, "Sofia, don't worry."
However, before Soong Shiyan could finish her words, she was interrupted by Yan Duoya: "Jing Sung, can you send someone here quickly to take me away from here? I don't want to go to jail — I swear, I'll live my life honestly and never do anything wrong again! "
Yan Duoya's voice sounded very anxious. It seemed that she really didn't want to go to jail.
"Shiyan …" Soong Shiyan said.
"Jing Sung, this time, for the last time, please help me again — you are my best friend. Other than you, I really don't know who else to ask for help!" Yan Duoya grabbed the phone and said nervously, "Jing Sung, did you forget? We're friends — do you really have the heart to watch me go to jail? "
At the end of her speech, Yan Duoya was already breaking down in tears.
"Well, Shiyan, I'll help you one more time — after all, whatever you've done before, you're a good friend of mine!" Soong Shiyan sighed and said, "Where are you right now, I'll immediately send someone to pick you up."
"I, I …" Soong Shiyan's question had actually stumped Yan Duoya.
Yan Duoya had stayed in this small town for more than a day, but even now, she still didn't know what the name of this small town was. Yan Duoya was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks.
"I, I don't know where I am now." Yan Duoya said dejectedly.1
Soong Shiyan knew where Yan Duoya was, of course, but if she showed it, wouldn't she make Yan Duoya suspect her?
"Shiyan, don't worry — take a look around and see if there's anything to show you the name of the place, or if there's any small ads around the phone booth." Soong Shiyan comforted him softly.
Yan Duoya put down the phone and looked around. It was pitch black in the distance, so she couldn't see anything. She looked back, a little crestfallen, just in time to see a number of small ads on the wall of the phone booth. She looked more closely, and a smile crept up her face.
Yan Duoya's family hurried back to the phone and said to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, I'm in a place called Nampi County. Send someone to pick me up. I'll stay in the phone booth. I won't go anywhere. "
"All right, Shiyan, you can get over it tonight — wait until my people get you tomorrow, arrange a place for you to stay, and then you can get some rest." Soong Shiyan said with a smile.
Yan Duoya nodded her head heavily and said gratefully to Soong Shiyan, "Jing Sung, thank you so much. If there really is a next life, I will definitely be a slave to you and repay your kindness!"
Hearing this, a mocking smile appeared on Soong Shiyan's face. Even if they had a next life, even if they could meet again in the next life, she wouldn't let a heartless and merciless woman like Yan Duoya be by her side.
"Shiyan, as you just said, we are friends after all. "Although you're wrong in this matter, I can't just watch you go to jail." Lili said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her tone.
"Jing Sung..." Yan Duoya was so grateful that she was at a loss for words.
"Shiyan, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go find someone to trust, tell him to leave early, and come to Nan Pei County to pick you up." She hung up.
She tossed the phone aside and went back to sleep. Her men were already watching Yan Duoya in Nampi County. In the morning, she would notify that person to pick up Yan Duoya. It was just in time, so she didn't have to worry about going early to raise Yan Duoya's suspicions.
As for Yan Duoya, after the call ended, the huge burden in her heart finally dropped. Relieved, she leaned against the glass door of the phone booth and sat on the floor, waiting impatiently for someone to pick her up in Nampi County.
