Chapter 308: Old Friend
Song Ning gritted her teeth to endure the pain as doubts welled up in her heart. At this mont, she had no choice but to resign to her fate. She could only take it one step at a ti and see what would happen next.
The car gradually pulled further and further away from the city to the countryside.
Song Ning could not help but feel uneasy. Was she being kidnapped? She looked down at her injuries. Although she could not see her face, based on the pain, her face injuries should not be any less than what she could see on her body. Who would kidnap and sell a woman with such injuries? With such a weak body and serious injuries, it would not take much for her to die.
Song Ning looked at the ti on the dashboard. After more than an hour, the car finally drove into a village.
The pedestrians on the road slowed down and watched from the sides.
One of the won said in a low voice, “I’ll have to trouble you to close your eyes and pretend as though you’re on your last breath. When we get ho, we’ll carry you in. Rember to feign unconsciousness. Don’t worry. We’re really not bad people. After the villagers have seen you, soone will co and pick you up in the middle of the night. Then, the following morning, we’ll spread the news that you’ve passed away and hold a funeral for you.
Song Ning was confused. She asked in a trembling voice, “W-who… Who am I?”
The woman was hit by a realization. “Oh, that’s right. I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you. You’re taking on my niece’s identity. You’re here to recuperate from your serious injuries. We didn’t have money to treat you so we brought you ho. Like I said earlier, we’ll then fake your death and hold a simple funeral for you. This way, even if soone investigates, there won’t be anything suspicious.”
“Who? Who will investigate this matter?” Song Ning asked, growing more and more confused. Was the police looking for her?
The woman shook her head. “I don’t know. All these things were told to by my niece. It’s best you do as she said. She told you’re her best friend and that you’ve helped her a lot. We’re helping her to return your favor. We hope that you’ll rember her kindness in the future and watch over her. That child’s life is really tough, after all.”
As the woman spoke, she lifted her hand and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.
Song Ning asked, “Your niece? What’s her na?”
The woman replied, “Her na is Yang Li.”
Song Ning was taken aback. “Yang Li?”
Ever since the film festival, Song Ning had not seen Yang Li. She assud that with Director Pan around, Yang Li would have no problem leaving Ye Xin. Since she had no intention of returning to the entertainnt industry, she rarely asked about the others’ news. She assud they were all doing well in their respective fields.
The woman nodded and said with a sigh, “This is her hotown. She lived here with her grandfather since she was young. Her parents ca to pick her up later on, and she never returned. She told us you’re her benefactor. Since you’re in trouble, she asked us to help you. So believe us, we’re not bad people.”
This ti, Song Ning nodded. She believed in Yang Li’s character.
At this ti, the car began to slow down.
The two won gestured for Song Ning to lean on their shoulders.
Song Ning closed her eyes as she was told. There was no need to pretend much with her current appearance. Anyone looking at her now would think she was on her deathbed.
When the car finally pulled to a stop, everyone stopped to watch just as expected.
As Song Ning feigned unconsciousness, she heard the sighs and discussions of the people in Yang Li’s hotown. Many things were said.
At this ti, the two won wore sorrowful expressions on their faces. One of them said, “The doctor in the city said there’s no hope and to bring her ho. This child’s life is really tough. I’ll have to trouble everyone in the coming days; she might need everyone’s help.”
