“Do you really want to know who the father of your children is?” He Ruilin approached her slowly.
Lin Xinyan couldn’t help but stepped back. At this moment, a woman wearing a cap and a mask on her face came in through the door.
The reason why the person coming in was said to be a woman was that she dressed like a woman.
It was just that her face couldn’t be seen clearly.
With a bang, the worn-out metal door was shut tightly.
Lin Xinyan was standing at the back of the house, while cold sweat had been forming on her palms since the woman came in.
As the door closed, her heart flinched hard.
Although the woman said nothing, Lin Xinyan could feel her unfriendliness and hostility toward her.
He Ruilin glanced back at her. The pair seemed to know each other well. “You are here.”
The woman responded in agreement, with her eyes staring at Lin Xinyan.
Lin Xinyan couldn’t see her expression clearly under the dim light, and she was even wearing a mask, but her eyes were full of hatred when she looked at her.
Lin Xinyan was in a panic, while she tried to remain calm on the surface. “Who are you?”
Instead of answering her, the woman smiled creepily. “You don’t need to know who I am. I only want you to know that from now on, everything that’s yours will be mine, but—”
Pausing mid-sentence, she smiled more viciously. “You fell into my hands today, so I can’t easily let you go. Otherwise, how can I do right by you? You’ve sent my mom to jail and forced me to leave B City. You didn’t expect that I could still come back, did you?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she and He Ruilin surrounded Lin Xinyan.
Lin Xinyan looked at the woman in front of her with a pair of inquisitive and horrified eyes. “Are you Lin Yuhan?”
“Haha. Very well, you still remember me.” Lin Yuhan smiled and looked at He Ruilin beside her. “Join me?”
He Ruilin curled her lips. “She falls into my hands today, of course, I will not let her off.”
Lin Xinyan stared at the closed door to see if there was a chance to escape, but Lin Yuhan seemed to see through her intentions. “Don’t think about running away. You can’t get away. We set up such a big trap to finally lure you here. Do you think we will let you run away?”
“Why are you two together?” Lin Xinyan deliberately talked to them to buy time, while she reached out to try to get the phone in her pocket, only to find that she had somehow lost the phone.
“Don’t you know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?” Lin Yuhan pinched her chin. “For this day, I spent four years getting back to you. If you did not return to China back then, I will still be Young Mistress Yuhan, and the apple of my dad and mom’s eye. But everything changed after you came back. So tell me, how can I let you off?!”
Lin Xinyan broke free from her grasp. “When Lin Guoan’s company was in difficulties, you escaped with his money. How can you blame me? You’re the one with bad character—”
Smack!
Lin Yuhan slapped Lin Xinyan in the face. When she was about to fight back, He Ruilin came up to her and grabbed her hand that had been raised.
Squinting, Lin Yuhan stared at her, like a fit of great anger suffocating her, as the firelight shot out sharply from her eyes at Lin Xinyan. A sarcastic and cruel smile tugged at her lips. “You’re at death’s door. How dare you refute and fight back?!”
“Enough nonsense with her.” He Ruilin couldn’t wait to raise her hand at Lin Xinyan. Thinking of her triumphant days, Zong Jinghao’s attention for her, and the two children she gave birth to, He Ruilin was full of hatred, and wished to kill her.
Ouch!
Lin Xinyan didn’t know what He Ruilin used to hit her waist, as she felt a stabbing pain. Faced with two crazy women, she couldn’t fight back.
They acted like some shrews without any regard for laws, as they punched, kicked, insulted, and grabbed Lin Xinyan’s hair.
Lin Xinyan tried to run several times but was caught.
Lin Yuhan took out a wooden stick from somewhere and hit her on the head. Everything before her eyes went black, while her body collapsed and fell to the ground. Later, she lost consciousness. Before she passed out, she heard He Ruilin say, “Let’s stop. Don’t beat her to death.”
“She is a time bomb if she’s not dead. Are you sure she will never appear in B City, or in front of Zong Jinghao?”
“I can guarantee that.”
“Your brother is so crazy about her…”
Later, she passed out. When she woke up, she was already in that room, hearing the conversation between He Ruize and the doctor, as well as the thing he wanted to do to her.
She finally understood everything now.
The reason why she was not killed by them was that He Ruilin knew He Ruize liked her, and so she kept her alive, but she was afraid that she would return to B City, so they had to give her that kind of medicine to make her lose her memory, and then live together with He Ruize.
So that, she completely disappeared from Zong Jinghao’s life.
Although she still couldn’t figure out how Lin Yuhan became acquainted with He Ruilin and He Ruize, she knew that the three of them came up with this plan together.
“Yan, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you.” He Ruize slowly approached her.
Clutching the curtain tightly, Lin Xinyan stood behind the curtain, trying to separate herself from He Ruize. “D-Don’t you come near me.”
“Yan…” He Ruize didn’t take Lin Xinyan’s words to heart and approached her slowly.
Seeing that he was about to come and grab her, Lin Xinyan moved slowly and ran out from the side. She turned the door handle in a panic to open it but failed. She didn’t give up and continued to twist the handle forcefully.
“You can’t open it.”
He Ruize walked over unhurriedly, with a dark look on his face. “I can guarantee that you will not die, so I can also make sure that you can’t escape. Everything here is under my control. Without me, you can’t get out.”
Lin Xinyan clenched her fists involuntarily.
“Yan, you didn’t forget at all, did you?” He Ruize stared at the expression on her face.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Suppressing the fear in her heart, Lin Xinyan met his eyes calmly, and questioned him sternly, “You said I call you brother, so you are my family. Why are you forcing me to get an injection?”
“It’s for your sake. You are sick.”
“I’m not!”
“Okay, you are not sick. I won’t give you an injection. Get over here.” He Ruize stretched out his hand with the palm up, showing the delicate yet crisscrossing lines on it.
Lin Xinyan stared at his hand. If she kept resisting him, he would definitely suspect that she did not lose her memory and would give her an injection.
I must not get the injection. I must not lose my memory.
She clenched her fists repeatedly to calm down the fear in her heart, and slowly stretched out her hand to put it onto his hand.
He Ruize held it lightly, then clasped her hand in his palm, saying with a smile, “Good job. You’re my good sister.”
Lin Xinyan was disgusted, but couldn’t show it, so she had to bite the bullet and deal with him.
“Is this our home?” Looking down, she asked in a low voice.
“No.”
It was too close to B City. In order to prevent Zong Jinghao from finding her, this place was definitely not a place they could settle down for long term.
After getting her out of the rental house, she had injuries on her body and needed medical treatment. Besides, she could not be allowed to leave with any memories of this city.
Therefore, this was just a temporary place to stay. After she recovered from the injuries and got the injection, he would take her out of here and never returned.
“T-Then, where is our home?” Lin Xinyan took the opportunity to sound him out.
“Somewhere far away.” He Ruize didn’t fully believe that she really lost her memory, so he didn’t tell her where they would be going.
He didn’t insist on giving her the injection because he was sure that she could not escape.
He held Lin Xinyan’s hand tightly, put it on his lips and kissed it. “Our home is very far away. In a few days, after your injury is healed, I will take you out of here and return to our home.”
Lin Xinyan instinctively wanted to withdraw her hand, but He Ruize held it tighter. “Yan, are you rejecting my kiss?”
Lin Xinyan lowered her head in order to prevent him from seeing her emotions. “Aren’t you my brother? It’s not good to be too intimate like this.”
He Ruize rubbed her hair. “You silly, we are not real brother and sister, we are—lovers, I love you, and you—love me too. We love each other very much, don’t you remember?”
Lin Xinyan shook her head.
He Ruize held her in his arms. “It’s okay, I remember. In the future, I will slowly tell you about our—love story.”
