Ten days later at noon, at Shen Mei’s house in the teachers’ dormitory of Wusong Town Middle School.
In the morning, Song Shenmei had brought this year’s complete set of entrance exam papers for Meng Chuyue to redo...
Now, having just finished grading the last paper, Shen Mei was immensely excited as she said to Meng Chuyue, "Meng Chuyue, you are truly amazing. Except for the essay, you got everything correct. If I were grading your essay, I would definitely give you full marks. Even if the grading teacher docks some points from your essay score, your title as the top scholar of the examination is secure."
Meng Chuyue smiled, "...Thank you, Teacher."
Meng Chuyue had just returned from Wusong Town, and it happened to be the final day of her driving test.
With Tong Wen accompanying her, she successfully passed, and the next morning she went alone to the driving school to collect her license. On her way to the Fruit Store, she suddenly saw Qin Weilan running out from an alley by the street, looking panicked.
Caught off guard upon seeing her, Qin Weilan paused, then turned and ran in the opposite direction.
Qin Weilan changed her escape route because of her?
Meng Chuyue was somewhat moved, but she didn’t rush to follow and instead stayed to watch.
Before long, five burly men with fierce appearances rushed out of the alley Qin Weilan had just exited. They looked around for a moment, then upon spotting the panicked figure of Qin Weilan, they sprinted after her.
Meng Chuyue was about to follow them when she saw Qin Weilan suddenly turn around and run towards them, three speeding motorcycles chasing her from behind.
What had Qin Weilan done to have so many people sent to hunt her down?
Not sure if money could solve the problem, but if it could, she was willing to pay any amount, after all, Shen Ci could afford it.
Lost in her shock, Qin Weilan was forced in front of her by the three motorcycles.
She was about to speak when Qin Weilan, eyes fiery with intensity, yelled at her, "Get out of the way!" and then pushed her aside...
Caught unprepared, she fell to the ground.
In her astonishment, she then saw a speeding Mercedes pass just behind her...
Looking up at the car, Lin Fangwei was twisting his face in a challenge directed at her.
She scrambled up, preparing to chase after Lin Fangwei to give him a piece of her mind, but she and Qin Weilan were quickly surrounded by the eight burly men and three motorcycles.
Meng Chuyue was about to speak when one of the men pulled out a dagger and stabbed Qin Weilan three times...
Meng Chuyue didn’t expect them to be so merciless and it was too late to intervene.
She grabbed the nearest man and with a fierce punch, sent him flying. Then the second followed, and then the third...
Seeing her ferocity, the attackers yelled to retreat.
Meng Chuyue rushed to help Qin Weilan, not wasting time entangling with them. She knelt beside Qin Weilan, checking her injuries and pulling out hemostatic medicine and a clean towel from her bag.
She began to administer first aid to Qin Weilan, planning to take her to the hospital.
Qin Weilan’s face was ashen and her eyes barely open, but she kept talking, "It’s no use... Chuyue, I know I’m done for. Even if there were a chance... I... I don’t want to live anymore, I’m too exhausted..."
"Chuyue, you care about... Ah Ci, right? He cares about you too. If I’m not here... will you look after him for me?"
"Chuyue, try to persuade Ah Ci not to take revenge on the Shen Family... Even if he must, please make sure he doesn’t sacrifice himself."
Qin Weilan rambled on with her eyes closed, and Meng Chuyue gently agreed to everything.
When she finished wrapping Qin Weilan’s wounds with the torn towel, Qin Weilan suddenly opened her eyes, looking unusually lucid and solemn, "Chuyue, I have something to ask of you. It’s about Ah Ci’s origins. Tell him someday, but you promise me, no, you swear, not to tell him until he has lost his impulsiveness."
