Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat-Chapter 224 - 221 Nearly Over

Yu Heng rushed over without stopping after receiving Jiang Yan’s call and also informed Yu Ci on the way.

Upon arriving and quickly grasping the situation, he busily phoned Lin Fei.

"Do you suspect it was that gang?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Lin Fei called a colleague to go downstairs and drive to Beijing University, saying, "Our people have been keeping a particularly close eye on them recently, taking down two of their dens in three days and rescuing quite a few children and women. At such a time, they still have the energy to go to Beijing University to kidnap your sister?"

"I don’t know if it was that gang, but you can check who bailed out Yu Xin. As soon as she came to school, she tried every means to get my sister out, obviously, there’s a plot brewing outside."

Yu Heng glanced down at Yu Xin, who was still unconscious on the grass, a flash of disgust in his eyes. "When you arrive, you can first take a look around the entrance, and if there are suspicious vehicles, please pay attention."

At six o’clock, the streetlights on campus began to light up one after another, and the originally hidden and dim pine trees also cast a shadowy light.

Yu Heng politely thanked Xue Weisong and Shen Mengfei, and asked them to leave for dinner first.

Before leaving, Xue Weisong took another look at Mu Jiawen leaning against Jiang Yan. Her mood had stabilized, but her hands were still tightly wrapped around Jiang Yan’s arm.

Obviously, she was very reliant on him!

Xue Weisong lowered his eyes, concealing the loss in them.

It was winter, and because Mu Jiawen had been catching colds on and off for a while, her body had not fully recovered, so even if she exerted all her strength, it wasn’t very effective.

Moreover, she hadn’t hit Yu Xin on the head or other critical parts, so the reason Yu Xin had passed out was just that she got hit on the neck a couple of times.

So it wasn’t long before Yu Xin came to with a groan, sneezing twice in quick succession, shivering with cold.

"Get out on your own if you’re awake."

Hearing the familiar voice, Yu Xin was initially stunned, then ecstatic, "Big brother..."

"I am not your big brother!"

Yu Heng looked at her coldly, "The ancients said that one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black, but I disagree. You’ve been with our family for twenty years, but in what way do you resemble any of our family members? The maliciousness in your bones, it seems it can never be removed."

Yu Xin looked at him blankly, then suddenly smiled. Her nose still had dried blood under it, half of her face was swollen, and the other half was bruised. She looked like a person when not smiling, but with a smile, her features contorted grotesquely, almost like a ghoul.

"Am I malicious? Who made me this way? Yes, initially when I came to your family, you were all good to me, but what about later? Big brother, why don’t you think about what you all did afterwards? She—"

She raised her hand, pointing at Mu Jiawen, her voice shrill, "Ever since she was born, all of your attention was on her, not even looking..."

"Have you no shame? She is our biological sister, who are you? You don’t even know from where you’re a stray seed, how dare you compare yourself to my sister? Because you have thicker skin?"

Yu Ci strode in from outside, intending to step forward but was stopped by Yu Heng, "The deputy chief of the Criminal Police Lin is on his way, don’t touch her again."

"Then why are you still talking to her? This kind of person is incorrigible, rotten to the core. We should never have brought her home in the first place."

If we hadn’t brought her home, none of this would have happened.

But there’s no medicine for regret in the world, and time can’t flow backward, so such words are completely meaningless.

Yu Ci turned and scrutinized his sister, and seeing that she was unharmed, he felt relieved. He said to Jiang Yan, "You take Xiaosi to dinner; big brother and I have got this covered."

Jiang Yan held in his hand an unremarkable black bar phone, which he handed to Yu Ci, "I found it on her. I suspect it’s for her to contact that gang, but it hasn’t rung at all until now, no texts, no calls."

The phone was clean, nothing inside, but it was exactly this cleanliness that made it more suspicious!

Had he even thought to search for the phone?

Yu Ci gave Jiang Yan an appreciative glance before taking the phone and bowing her head to check it.

"Let’s go."

Jiang Yan, leading Mu Jiawen, made their way out and back to the main road, where Mu Jiawen stopped.

Jiang Yan looked back at her, "What’s wrong?"

"Those people..."

"The police will handle it!" Jiang Yan interrupted her sharply, "Mu Jiawen, this isn’t something for you to worry about."

Want to use me as bait?

Don’t even think about it!

Jiajia looked up at him, "But if not this way, do they just keep watching me?"

Due to the fuss Yu Zekun made a couple of days ago, many people had learned that she had been found. No, maybe that gang had already located her earlier on, but they just weren’t sure if she remembered those individuals.

But now...

Since she remembered that she was abandoned by Yu Xin, it was certain that she could also recall them. Hence, the several sketches in the hands of the police, along with that Mr. Ye as the head... the police had already determined that the death of Ye Junqi’s father, Ye Gaojun, was highly suspicious and likely to be a fake death.

Moreover, during the destruction of the first hideout, Zhao Youshun was captured, while Pan Dalong, who was with him, managed to escape. Now several detectives were hot on his trail. Even in Yunzhou, police were stationed at Pan Dalong’s family home, especially since the three skeletons they dug up made him the prime suspect!

And all this was thanks to Mu Jiawen!

"If they want to keep watching, they’ll have to see if they get the chance."

Jiang Yan held both her hands in his, warming them, and spoke softly, "Don’t worry, it will all be over soon. But you, Jiajia, can’t take the risk, even if we are fully prepared, you can’t go."

He cherished life, not only his own but also Jiajia’s.

In fact, Mu Jiawen was scared too. She had thought she was strong enough to overcome her psychological barriers, but the moment she first saw Yu Xin, the fear that was buried deep in her heart involuntarily spread through her entire being.

It had taken her great effort to control herself, yet she had lost control when venting.

Seeing Yu Xin was already so distressing, what about facing those people who had taken her away all those years ago?

Especially Pan Dalong; just the thought of him sent shivers down her spine, a fear that permeated her from the inside out.

But at the same time, she clearly understood that fear would not solve problems, it was the most cowardly display.

"How about we wait for a while to see what Captain Lin has planned when he arrives, okay?"

Jiang Yan didn’t agree, "I’ll wait for Captain Lin; I’ll take you back to the dormitory first. Let me know what you want to eat and I’ll bring it to you later."

Mu Jiawen saw that he was adamant, and her elder brother and third brother were also ushering Yu Xin from behind the pine trees, they were urging her to leave as well.

"Wherever you go, don’t go alone, remember that?"

Jiang Yan kept admonishing her at the foot of the building. Thinking it over, he still wasn’t at ease, so he called Liang Yujun, asking her to hurry back and help keep an eye on her.

When he returned near the Physics building, Lin Fei had already arrived.

They didn’t drive into the university, but Yu Ci had come earlier in Yu Heng’s car, which was parked nearby.

Yu Xin was taken by Lin Fei and his colleague to the car, and they were interrogating her about the license plate number of the car she was meant to meet.
