Ruthless

The next day, Xu Jia Li woke up with a very bad headache. Her head felt like something heavy was inside it as it throbbed painfully. She slowly opened her eyes, the white ceiling greeted her. When she moved her head, she was surprised to see Si Weimin sleeping beside her.

She slowly raised her right hand but she grimaced in pain. Disregarding it, she gazed with so much love at his handsome face. She remembered being so sleepy that she forgot to call him. He might be very worried. She felt bad thinking about it.

She began to caress his face before she traced his brows down to his perfectly shaped nose until it touched his red luscious lips.

She suddenly had the urged to kiss him. She moved her head a bit but a very faint and hazy incident flashed her mind. It made her even dizzier as a muffled groan escaped her lips.

She put her hand on her head as the incident began to play on her head. She remembered being in a very dark room as she slightly opened her eyes. She wanted to scream but she was too tired, sleepy and weak to even open her mouth.

She slowly remembered voices shouting but she couldn't see their faces. They were talking about something but she couldn't recall any of it. Her head throbbed, trying to remember everything. The only thing she recalled was seeing a tattoo on one of the men. It was a red sparrow.

A red sparrow with a symbol on the side…

She also remembered a distinct woman's voice but she couldn't remember what she said.

"Love, are you alright?"

Xu Jia Li slowly opened her eyes upon hearing Si Weimin's gentle voice. She looked at him before she nodded.

"Does it hurt somewhere?" Si Weimin took his phone and dialed Wang Guo's number, "Get the doctors here. Now!"

Seeing the distress on Si Weimin's face, Xu Jia Li held his hand, "I'm really okay. No need for the doctor. I'm just a bit dizzy. Nothing else."

Instead of replying to her, she was taken a back at Si Weimin's next action. He hugged her as he spoke ever so gently, a hint of worry and fear on his husky voice, "I was so worried about you."

"I'm sorry…"

"You're not safe alone… I can't let you be alone again…" Si Weimin looked straight at Xu Jia Li's eyes. His voice broke when he spoke, "I can't live if something happened to you. You are my world. It will never be the same without you in it. "

Xu Jia Li felt bad seeing the fear in Si Weimin's eyes. She didn't know what to say.

"We are not sure what the enemies can do. They've abducted you so easily."

"It's my fault for being careless," she looked at the bandages on her wrists which proved that everything that happened was real. She remembered seeing a silhouette of a woman as she left her on the wooden recliner.

"I have to start working on my revenge. I can't afford more incidents like this to happen."

"I found out who was behind all this."

"Are these people related to Zhou Jiayin?"

Si Weimin nodded as he recalled everything that happened and things he found out to Xu Jia Li. He didn't forget to say that it was Zhou Jiayin's people who abducted her.

"I always know he's ruthless."

Beijing People's Police Station

"I need to use my phone!" Qi Xenjin shouted at the officer.

"You're not allowed to use it."

"I need to talk to my lawyer!"

"Stop screaming like a madman!" the officer shouted before he left.

"Don't you know who my boyfriend is?! I'll make sure you won't see another day!" Qi Xenjin yelled until her voice was hoarse.

A minute passed when another officer approached Qi Xenjin before he threw the phone at her, "This is the last time I can help you. Boss Lao is also in prison. I can't just help you since all eyes are on you now."

Qi Xenjin's eyes shone as she picked the bag on the floor. She opened it and saw her phone inside, "Don't worry. I know Lao Bing will do everything to get me out of here."

"Don't get your hopes up. Si Weimin made sure that Boss Lao will face all criminal liabilities. Thanks to you, the gang is facing this problem. If I were you, don't act harshly. I have no way to help you now. Keep that phone hidden."

Once the officer left, Qi Xenjin immediately dialed the number she would never forget, "Hello? I've done everything you asked me to. Now, help me escaped this hell!"

"It's your stupidity that led you to where you are now. Your boyfriend isn't any better. The organization won't be held liable. Idiots!"

"B-but Beryl, if not for you, I will not be in this shithole! How can you not help me?!" Qi Xenjin's body trembled. She couldn't believe that the person who told her to defeat Xu Jia Li was now backing out on her.

It was this masked woman, Beryl, who approached her and Lao Bing. She only met her twice and every time, this woman wore a mask. This woman planned everything. She was planning her own ways to go back to the industry when this Beryl came looking for her. She promised to help Lao Bing settled its grip on the turf.

She was greedy and accepted Beryl's proposal. She also involved Jian Ran. Her boyfriend was also afraid at Beryl's organization and blinded by the promise that the Lao Gang would solidify its place in the underground business. When she asked the old man about it, he told her to not meddle where she had nothing to do with.

At that time, she only shrugged her shoulders, only thinking about defeating Xu Jia Li. Now, she knew that Beryl's organization wasn't ordinary. It was her only hope to escape. How could this woman abandon her?

"I can't help you. Rot in jail."
