Chapter 983 - Doesn't Sound Like A Bad Idea.
Lin Xinyi started panting hard in her breath the mont she closed the door. Though she was not asthmatic, all of a sudden, she was feeling all suffocated inside. Closing her eyes, she tried her best to calm herself inside but no matter how she tried, she was just not able to forget the things that woman has co to remind her of.
Opening her eyes, she looked around. Her face has grown all red due to her situation but still, there was no relief. Panting, she struggled her way to reach a cabinet on the side, only to open a drawer to fidget through it. And after searching for a while in it, she found the pills she was looking for.
Opening the bottle, she didn't wait but imdiately took more than a couple of pills in her mouth before chewing it in one go. And after so ti of taking it, finally, she found the relief. Her flushed cheeks grew normal while her breathing also eased.
Lifting the bottle, she read the na labeled over it. ANTI-DEPRESSANT. "This is what you have given Zhen Qinrou. An everyday war with depressions and late-night nightmares. If this is what you call living a good life, I wish you too to have the sa life." She said before turning to keep back the bottle inside the drawer.
But then sothing struck her thoughts. Shaking her head, she denied her own thoughts internally before announcing it to no one in particular. "No, I can't let that woman co for again. Though she has backed off today, later tomorrow she could again co for and I would not be able to fight. I won't be able to… No, no, no, I need to … I need to call her for help. Now only she can help and she would have to help ."
She chanted to herself as she ran to get her phone from her bedroom. Though she was desperate to reach soone, she was doubtful if she truly would be able to reach her since there were no imdiate contact details of that one person with her. Rather it was just a promise that she has received five years back.
Moving her fingers elegantly over the phone screen, she quickly typed a text ssage to a number. 'I need your help now. Are you still there to help ?' And then waited to see if there cos any response. Though she had a suspicion, still sowhere in the corner of her heart there seed a hope that was giving her strength. A 'hope' to not fall weak yet.
And her hope wasn't proved to be wrong. As just after the text was sent out, after a few seconds, her phone beeped with another text ssage that displayed the number she was looking for.
Her lips tugged up with a smile as without giving any second thought to the sender, she dialed the number straightforwardly, hearing it ring on the other side.
"It took you really long to give the call, Ms. Lin. Should I take this as a symbol that all these years your life hasn't gone into too much of rough track?" Just after a few rings, the call was answered by a very elegant voice that made Lin Xinyi think twice about things.
Tugging her brows together with so concern, she asked, "How did you know that it's calling you?"
And a soft chuckle rang out on the other side to reply in an ambiguous way, "How do you think, Ms. Lin?"
And it was then Lin Xinyi realized. "All these years you have kept all my information."
The lady on the other side of the call humd and agreed readily as if she never had any motive of keeping it secret. "Of course. Since five years back, I had promised to protect you and help you in need, how could I leave you on your own? It was my responsibility to keep a note on your life to fulfill that promise."
She said and with her words like that, sohow, Lin Xinyi felt assured. Otherwise, when she was writing the text ssage earlier, she wasn't even sure if she would be receiving any reply back on not. The woman was a mystery to her but at the sa ti was her savior, who showed her the right path when she was on the edge of doing the sin.
"So, you might already know why I have called today?" Lin Xinyi asked and heard the woman hum again in reciprocation.
"Mhm. I was waiting to receive your call since today, after so many years, Zhen Qinrou finally found you again."
"Yes, she ca for today. And you should help now. Although today I was able to handle her on my own, I can't be sure if tomorrow will be the sa or not." Lin Xinyi stated and that woman on the other side of the call interrupted.
"Why?"
At first, Lin Xinyi didn't understand. Frowning, she asked, "What do you an?"
To which the lady on the call continued, "I an, I heard that today you handled her well. When Zhen Qinrou left your place, she was having an expression of agitation that only ant her defeat. Since you were able to defeat her so smoothly, what is there to fear?"
Lin Xinyi imdiately shook her head. "No, you can't say that. Today was easy because that woman wasn't able to guess my weak side. She believed in my threat. But if she thinks of it deeply, she won't believe anymore and I will lose. I can't wait for that mont. So, you have to…"
Before she could even complete her words, Lin Xinyi got interrupted as the woman on the call asked with great amusent. "You threatened her? With what?"
And hearing her ask that, Lin Xinyi further frowned but revealed, "I threatened her with the truth. I an I warned her to not ss with my life, otherwise, I might go to say things to President Feng himself. And she would have no way. But as you know I might not be able to do that in reality. I may not go to reveal all this to President Feng. And she …"
"That doesn't sound like a bad idea. That's a perfect bait to threaten her. Use it. Why are you fearing it?" Thinking completely opposite of Lin Xinyi's words, the lady on the call suggested, and Lin Xinyi just not understand what does she an.
How could she go and reveal all these past five years' stories to Feng Shufen? Would it serve any purpose?
