Lin Yixun abruptly opened her eyes, waking up from the nightmare. Even though she knew it was just an empty dream, that man’s voice, like a demonic melody, still echoed in her mind.
Lin Yixun clenched her fists, sadly realizing that no matter how hard she tried to escape Leng Yixiu, fate always found a way to entangle them together again.
And all Leng Yixiu brought her was pain and more pain.
Lin Yixun stared blankly at the cold white wall opposite her, and unconsciously, a gentle and familiar handsome face appeared on it.
She fixed her gaze on that face, her eyes reddening instantly. She suddenly stood up, walked over with hurried steps, and slowly reached out her fingers. Just as her fingers were about to touch that handsome face, it vanished before her.
Her arm stiffened in the air, and Lin Yixun’s heart sank along with it. She smiled bitterly, realizing that it was just her illusion.
She weakly pressed her forehead against the cold wall, murmuring softly, "Xing Yi, if only you were by my side."
But, the person who could accept everything about her had already left her forever, never to return.
Learning that Lin Yixun had been in an accident, Ouyang Hao drove straight to the police station.
But upon arriving at the police station’s entrance, he realized a problem. With his identity, his presence would inevitably be on headlines come tomorrow.
He didn’t care about a bit of exposure, but if the old man and the others found out, things could get complicated.
After weighing his options, he decided it was best not to make a personal appearance. So, he called Mu Chen.
"Brother, what’s up?"
"You have extensive connections in T City, could you do me a favor?"
Mu Chen raised his eyebrows with interest. "Sure, brother, since you’ve asked, I’ll help even if it’s ten favors. What’s the matter?"
"It’s about that little housemaid. You know, she got into some trouble and ended up in the station. Can you help me figure out a way to get her out?"
"Isn’t she just a little housemaid? Is it worth the Second Young Master Ouyang’s trouble? If she’s locked up, just find another one." Mu Chen teased intentionally.
"She’s been useful, so I’m too lazy to find a new one."
Mu Chen curled his lips. It was more than just useful. He had never seen the usually indifferent Second Young Master Ouyang so invested in a woman before.
Mu Chen understood perfectly, yet he didn’t reveal it. He wasn’t sure if the oblivious Second Young Master Ouyang had realized his over-concern for that housemaid. Nevertheless, he anticipated the situation would become very interesting.
He, grinning like a fox, squinted and said, "Alright, leave it to me. I guarantee to handle this matter perfectly."
Mu Chen didn’t lie. Within less than ten minutes, he called Ouyang Hao back, saying it was all sorted out and he could go to the detention center to pick her up.
However, the injured party was uncooperative, so the case wouldn’t be easily closed, and she could only be released on bail.
Ouyang Hao frowned and said angrily, "Mu Chen, what’s wrong with you? A bail release to brush me off?"
"Hao, I’ve done my best, not to slight you at all. If your little housemaid had injured an ordinary person, it wouldn’t be difficult. Some compensation money would have sufficed. But she really picked the wrong person to mess with this time — Leng Yixiu, the head of Leng’s."
