Chapter 462 Chen Chen Became StrongerWhen all the sand slipped through the pore of the hourgla.s.s, Chen Chen received a call from Wan Qingsi, who did not say anything over the phone, except that they would return tomorrow.
“Tuan Zi, I feel that your father must be in trouble.”
Wan Qingsi did not give her a chance to speak. He clearly knew that she was worried about Jiang Rui, but didn’t even mention him.
“Mom, maybe Dad is so tired and falls asleep!” Tuan Zi gave her a pat. She was about to go on comforting her, but the phone rang again.
Chen Chen was surprised to see the number, and she picked up the phone. “Yiyun?”
Zhou Yiyun sat by the bed, staring blankly at Scar who was unconscious.
“Yiyun…” Chen Chen walked in quietly.
Zhou Yiyun looked up and smiled at her. “You are here!”
“What did the doctor say?” Chen Chen sat next to her, looking at Scar whose face was covered with wounds. “Why does he keep sleeping?”
“He’s too tired. The trauma is not so serious. But his ribs are broken, and the brain and lungs are also bleeding.” Zhou Yiyun suddenly remembered something and felt sorry for Chen Chen. “Chen Chen, I woke up in the hospital, so I didn’t see Chief Jiang… Jiang Rui.”
Chen Chen waved her hand. “It’s okay. They will be back tomorrow. Relax. Just take care of Scar.”
“I promised to marry him if he woke up,” Zhou Yiyun said with a faint smile on her face. At that moment, Chen Chen thought that she was more beautiful than she had been on the red carpet.
When she was abducted and locked up, Scar actually endured all the torture so that she would not be s.e.xually a.s.saulted by those guys. Every day, they would give him a whipping. Especially one day, the cruel terrorists promised not to lay a finger on her if they cut off something from his body.
“Hurry up. Cut off as much as you like. But you must not touch her, or I will die here now.”
Zhou Yiyun cried, holding Scar’s hand tightly. Now there were only four fingers left on the hand.
“The first thing he did after he regained consciousness was to ask me if I would dislike and avoid him because he was disabled.” Zhou Yiyun choked with sobs. “Chen Chen, I got him into trouble. It’s me.”
If she had not been first caught by those guys, Scar would not have been threatened, and Jiang Rui and his soldiers would not have risked saving them.
“Nonsense again!” Chen Chen handed her a tissue and said, “These people were originally targeted at Brother Xiao Rui. You are innocent, and got into trouble because of that.”
Zhou Yiyun cried for a long time. Probably she needed to blow off steam. When she calmed down, she felt embarra.s.sed and went to wash her face. After coming out, she started to make up, and then took a photo and posted it on Microblog.
Below the photo, a line of words read: “Everyone, I’m getting married. Bless me!”
Chen Chen had sharp eyes and found the ring on her finger.
“Oh my G.o.d. When did Scar propose to you?”
Zhou Yiyun said with a sweet smile, “He hasn’t proposed to me yet, but I found the ring he had bought secretly. I want to wear it and give him a surprise when he wakes up!”
“Wow, a big surprise.” Chen Chen reposted her microblog.
After a few minutes, everyone knew the news that Zhou Yiyun would get married. Zhou Yiyun’s brokerage firm was busy dealing with the public relations, and her agent also made a call to scold her. She did not think it was improper for Zhou Yiyun to get married, and she just complained about no prior notice.
In short, this affair was pushed to a climax when ma.s.ses of netizens were speculating who the groom was.
However, Zhou Yiyun, the woman at the center of this affair, didn’t even turn on her cell phone but hid in the hospital and happily stayed with her man.
“Don’t walk around. You make me dizzy.” Ah Zi held Chen Chen. “Look, Tuan Zi is even calmer than you.”
Chen Chen sat on the sofa, but seemed to be about to stand up at any time. “Shall I make another call?”
“Mom, you made a call just ten minutes ago.” Tuan Zi grabbed the phone. “Didn’t my uncle say that they would definitely arrive in an hour? Be patient!”
“I’ll see if the soup is ready!” Unable to sit still, Chen Chen jumped up and ran to the kitchen.
When the doorbell rang finally, not only Chen Chen’s eyes but also Ah Zi’s were red.
“Brother!”
Wan Qingsi walked in first, followed by Bear.
Chen Chen froze and stood still, asking blankly, “Where is Brother Xiao Rui?”
“Liuliu…” Wan Qingsi looked at her in sorrow.
Ah Zi had already thrown herself into Bear’s arms and looked at Bear with doubt in her eyes. But Bear bowed his head in silence.
Chen Chen grinned and asked, “Is he back in the army?”
“Liuliu, Xiao Rui…”
“Brother!” Chen Chen interrupted Wan Qingsi. “Don’t speak for him. Since he doesn’t come back to see me first, I won’t let him come in later!”
Tuan Zi squatted on the ground, and Hei Zi rubbed against her arms.
“Woof woof…”
The little girl burst into tears.
Chen Chen looked at her. “What are you crying for?”
“Mom, ooh…” Tuan Zi threw herself into Chen Chen’s arms.
“Brother, I’m so sleepy. I’m going to bed. When Brother Xiao Rui comes back, you let him call me!” Chen Chen hugged Tuan Zi tightly and was about to run to the bedroom, but stopped by Wan Qingsi.
Chen Chen slowly shook her head. “I won’t listen to you. Don’t tell me.”
“Liuliu, it’s not so bad. Jiang Rui is just, just missing.”
When they entered the underground secret room that day, there was no one inside, and even the exit was blocked by a giant rock. Hei Zi found Jiang Rui’s epaulet buried under the rubble. After removing the giant rock, they found that there was one way directly to the coast.
“Brother Xiao Rui is still alive, but was taken away by the terrorists.” Wan Qingsi held Tuan Zi in his arms. “Dad is searching for him with all his strength, and the Wen family also provides its help.”
They informed the Young Master Shen in the United States, Lin Musheng in Harbour City, also the bounty hunters and the killer groups. With their help, they would definitely find Jiang Rui unless they took him to the moon.
“I see. Please take care of Tuan Zi.” After finishing this, Chen Chen fainted.
Bear hurried to call in Hua Tuo. They had originally thought that Chen Chen pa.s.sed out with fear, but after feeling her pulse for five minutes, Hua Tuo said, “Mrs. Jiang… is pregnant.”
All the people present were stunned. Tuan Zi was the first one to respond. “I’m going to have my younger brother?”
She put her hand on Chen Chen’s belly. “Why can’t I feel it?”
“She’s been pregnant for less than a month,” Hua Tuo added cautiously, “Mrs. Jiang has been too worried these days, and the fetus’s heartbeat is very weak. I’ll prescribe some medicine for her.”
Seeing that Chen Chen didn’t wake up when they were talking beside her, Ah Zi asked uneasily, “Is she all right?”
“She’s okay. She’s just too tired and needs to sleep.”
The men all left, and Ah Zi decided to live here to take care of Chen Chen and Tuan Zi. Anyway, Bear also had to go back to the army and arrange for searching for Jiang Rui. In the evening, Xie Hong took Wen Zeyu to them.
However, Chen Chen didn’t wake up after they sat for a long time. Before leaving, Xie Hong specially arranged for the cook of the Wen family to come and make some food. Ah Zi was eating together with Tuan Zi in the dining room when she suddenly saw Chen Chen standing in the corridor.
“Chen Chen?” Ah Zi stood up. “Come here.”
Tuan Zi ran up to Chen Chen and stared at her for a long time, asking, “Mom?”
“Yeah.” Chen Chen replied, took her hand, walked up to the dining table and sat down.
“Mom… You are not Mom you used to be.” Tuan Zi frowned.
Ah Zi opened her eyes widely in surprise. “You… You…”
“I’ve remembered everything.” Chen Chen filled herself with a bowl of soup. “The drug needs to be improved next time. It would fail every time when I’m stimulated greatly.”
Tuan Zi’s eyes lit up, and she looked at her mom. She always felt that Chen Chen, who had restored all her memories, was stronger!
Ah Zi asked tentatively, “Chen Chen, are you all right?”
“No!” Chen Chen glanced at her. “Tomorrow I’m going to the research inst.i.tution in the army. You don’t have to come here.”
“What are you going to do?”
Chen Chen ate a whole meatball at a time. “Make medicine.”
Early in the next morning, Bear went to pick up Chen Chen after receiving a call. He first sent Tuan Zi to the school, then drove Ah Zi home, and finally went to the army with Chen Chen.
“This is what I need.” Chen Chen handed him a piece of paper. “The more, the better.”
Bear looked at it and found a lot of illegal drugs on it, but without asking anything. He just nodded and said, “I will get them as soon as possible.”
After that, Chen Chen kept staying in the laboratory, and Xiao Si would send meals to her every day. At first, everyone wasn’t nervous, but when she couldn’t still come out five days later, Hua Tuo was anxious.
“Even if Mrs. Jiang is tough enough, the fetus can’t stand it!”
Bear asked Ah Zi to persuade Chen Chen to come out, and she stood at the door and listened for what was happening inside for a long time. “Shall I go in and ask her out?”
“Let’s wait first. If she doesn’t come out by dinnertime, you can send a meal to her and persuade her out of here.” After Xiao Si finished speaking, the telephone in his hand suddenly rang. He glanced at the number which made his facial expression change.
“Young Master Wan!”
Others were staring nervously at him.
Hanging up the phone, Xiao Si breathed a sigh of relief. “They found Boss.”
No one expected that Kutcher was right under their noses.
Probably the most dangerous place is just the safest one. According to the information reported by other families and groups, Kutcher took Jiang Rui to go half way around the world to finally sneak into the capital three days ago.
“That’s great!” Bear waved his fist. “I’ll make the deployment immediately.”
Xiao Si also said excitedly, “The people of the Wan family will arrive at night. We’ll act together tomorrow.”
The news about Jiang Rui made everyone less nervous. Ah Zi had planned to tell Chen Chen the news at night. In this case, she should be able to persuade Chen Chen to come out and have a rest.
Surprisingly, she entered the laboratory and found no one inside.
“What? Mrs. Jiang is missing?” Bear thought that it was impossible on hearing the news.
Xiao Si could not believe it and asked, “Who can take her away from the army?”
“Playback the surveillance video.” Hua Tuo gave an order to a soldier.
After watching the video, they all looked gloomy.
“Mrs. Jiang got out of here alone. She must have overheard our conversation.”
Ah Zi grabbed Bear’s hand with fear. “Did she go to Jiang Rui alone?”
“She took away the satellite map from the Wan family, on which the location was marked.” Bear patted her on the hand to comfort her. “Don’t worry. Look, Mrs. Jiang carried a big bag on her back. She must be ready to go.”
Xiao Si turned around and left. “I’m going to inform everyone. You need to prepare weapons. We can’t wait for the people of the Wan family’s arrival.”
At this time, Chen Chen had arrived at an abandoned temple on the outskirts of the capital.
The temple was built on the hillside. It was not large enough, and she walked around and found nothing.
“Then it must be underground!” While looking at the only stone statue of a bodhisattva in the temple, Chen Chen said to herself, “Where is the starting gear?”
Comment (0)Chapter 463 He Can Never Wake upChen Chen jumped behind the stone statue, finding that its head was empty and there was a raised round part inside.
She reached out and pressed it, but nothing happened. After twisting it clockwise, she suddenly heard a clicking sound, and a pa.s.sage appeared right in front of the statue.
“Sure enough…” Chen Chen jumped down, took out a bag of white powder from the backpack and sprinkled it on herself. Next, she took out a gun that she had stolen out of nowhere. When she was ready, she slowly walked down the pa.s.sage against the wall.
A dirty light bulb hung from the top of the stone wall. The pa.s.sageway was not long, and she could see a wooden door at the end.
Chen Chen carefully pushed open the door. Through the slightly opened door, she found that the stone wall inside was polished to be smooth, and someone even had papered it. To ensure safety, she threw in a stone. After it rolled over, nothing happened.
“Chen Chen, come on! You can do it.” She took a breath and walked in quickly.
After walking a dozen meters without seeing anyone, Chen Chen began to wonder if it was the wrong place. In front of her, there was a metal door. She had thought that it was locked, but it was opened the moment she touched it.
Then came the man’s laughter, as well as the fitful voice of a woman.
She squatted down and looked into the room. Two foreign men were pressing themselves on a woman. That woman’s mouth was covered, and her body was covered with scars. Crying had exhausted her.
“Come on, Daddy Kutcher will be unhappy if he knows we brought a woman in.” A man put on his pants and urged the other man. Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes widely and reached out toward Chen Chen.
The man who had stood up looked back abruptly. “Who?”
Chen Chen ran away immediately. The other man also hurried to put on his pants and chased after his companion. As soon as Chen Chen saw that they took out the gun, she turned and ran back. When the two men saw her running back to themselves, they were stunned and forgot to fire the gun.
Chen Chen took out a gun from her belt, aimed the gun at the two men and pulled the trigger.
“No!” It was not a bullet but some powders that came out of the gun.
The two men moaned mournfully, covering their faces. Many pieces of their facial skin, like the wall skin, fell off one by one. With the broken faces, they soon fell to the ground and kept motionless. Chen Chen ignored them and turned to left.
The woman in the room stumbled out, screaming and pa.s.sing out when she saw the broken and decayed bodies on the ground.
Through the long corridor, Chen Chen walked to the last door.
Again, the door was unlocked. She gently pushed the door open and went in. Instantly she opened her eyes widely.
In a gla.s.s house, Jiang Rui was shackled on the bed, with tubes and needles attached to his head. His features were distorted, with his body twitching.
“Brother Xiao Rui…” Holding back her tears, Chen Chen crossed the room, and several men in white coats were busy in front of a row of instruments.
An old man pointed at Jiang Rui and asked, “Fail again? He has been unconsciousness. Why can’t you still catch his brain waves?”
“His will is too strong, and he has been resisting,” said a man with gla.s.ses. “In my opinion, we should dissect his body and take his brain out for research.”
The old man said with regret, “It’s a pity. I had planned to hypnotize him!”
“It’s said that his daughter is stronger, isn’t it?” The man with gla.s.ses suggested. “Let’s wait a while. When we are safe enough, we can catch his daughter for research. A child should be able to be controlled easier.”
“That’s the only way. Prepare yourself to dissect him.” The old man was about to leave when some white powders flew directly to his face.
Chen Chen said fiercely, “Go to h.e.l.l, b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”
The man with gla.s.ses panicked and wanted to take the old man away. However, he felt that his hand was on fire before he could move. And at the same time, the old man next to him uttered a heartrending cry.
“Are… Are you the girl from the Wan family?” Kutcher endured the pain. He just covered his face with his sleeves. He didn’t know what the powder was, and there was a sharp pain in the part which contacted the powder on his forehead.
“D*mn it. It’s the corrosive powder.” The man with gla.s.ses helplessly watched pieces of flesh fall off the back of his hand. “What a f*cking vicious woman!”
Chen Chen raised the gun. “Far less vicious than you. Let him go.”
Kutcher winked at the man with gla.s.ses, and the latter moved quietly to Chen Chen. “Calm down. Being in such a situation, he will become an idiot as soon as we touch him.”
“I say, Let him go!” Chen Chen fired the gun again, and the man with gla.s.ses gave a cry and stepped back quickly.
Kutcher took the opportunity to press the alarm on the wall, and soon Chen Chen heard footsteps outside. A dozen foreigners rushed in and pointed their guns at her.
“Catch her alive!” Shouted Kutcher. As long as Chen Chen was caught, he would be able to put pressure on the Wan family and also capture Jiang Rui’s daughter…
Chen Chen clenched her teeth. “You hurt Brother Xiao Rui, and even want to catch Tuan Zi. You deserve to die”
After that, she took out a bag of red powders from the backpack, directly tore it up and flung the powders into the sky.
All of a sudden, everyone was covered with red powders. Except for Chen Chen, everyone screamed. They watched their skin bubble up like boiling water, and then the bubbles exploded one by one.
Many pieces of flesh flew everywhere, while blood splashed on walls and gla.s.s. One of Kutcher’s eyes had fallen out of his face. He reached out his rotten hands to catch Chen Chen, but gave a sharp cry immediately when he touched the red powders on her body.
In less than ten minutes, the whole room seemed to be run over by machines. Layers of minced meat were soaked in blood. Chen Chen shivered all over and kicked the eyeb.a.l.l.s off her instep, moving step by step into the gla.s.s house.
After entering the house, she took off the outwear while shivering all over, and took out a bottle of liquid medicine to clean her hands. Only after that, she flung herself upon Jiang Rui, but she didn’t know which tube she should pull out first.
When she was about to cry with anxiety, another people suddenly broke in again.
“Mrs. Jiang!” Bear shouted.
Chen Chen burst into tears. “Come on. Save him.”
Xiao Si rushed over to operate the instrument, and Bear came over to help her up. Everyone looked around the room in horror.
The scene in the room was beyond their expectations. They did not expect Chen Chen to make such toxic powders.
“Mrs. Jiang, are you okay?” Bear found that Chen Chen had been shivering.
Chen Chen shook her head casually while keeping her eyes on Jiang Rui. After seeing that Xiao Si pulled out all the tubes, she was relieved and then suddenly collapsed.
“Liuliu! Liuliu!”
“Mom, come on. Wake up!”
“Chen Chen, how dare you go alone to save Jiang Rui.”
…
Chen Chen heard the voices of many persons she knew or did not know. She wanted to reply to them, but she couldn’t open her mouth at all. Later, it was suddenly quiet in the room, so she fell asleep again.
When she finally opened her eyes, she saw Chen Huan staring at her.
“Liuliu?” Chen Huan wasn’t sure if she really woke up, so she called Chen Chen tentatively.
Chen Chen opened her mouth and made a faint sound. “Mom…”
“She’s awake! She’s awake!” Chen Huan shouted excitedly, and a group of people rushed in.
Boss Wan and Wan Qingsi led the way. Seeing his daughter come to sense, Boss Wan finally felt relaxed. “What a fool!”
“Don’t talk so loud. She just woke up.” Chen Huan glanced at her husband. “Talk to her only after she eats something.”
Xin Qing hurried to walk in along with Ying Qingcang, holding a thermal bottle in her hand. “Oh my G.o.d, she finally woke up!”
When Chen Chen drank up a bowl of chicken soup and ate some wontons Xin Qing herself had cooked, she started to recover her strength.
“I slept for three days?” She looked at Wan Qingsi in disbelief. “No wonder I’m so hungry.”
Chen Huan saw that she was all right, then poked her forehead and said, “Are you stupid? Who asked you to go alone? That’s not what you should do, OK?”
“Mom…” Chen Chen covered her head. “I’m okay!”
“You almost starved my grandson to death.” Xin Qing held her hand with red eyes. “Silly girl, why were you so bold?”
Boss Wan snorted beside them. Wan Qingsi noticed that his sister wanted to say something else, and said angrily, “Ask what you want.”
“Where, where is Brother Xiao Rui brother?” Chen Chen asked in a low voice. In fact, she was afraid to ask.
If Jiang Rui was okay, he would definitely be her side. Now that he did not appear, it meant…
“He hasn’t woke up yet.” Wan Qingsi said, “His brain was overstimulated. He must rely on himself to wake up.”
Chen Chen asked blankly, “What do you mean?”
“Liuliu!” Xin Qing wiped her tears away. “Xiao Rui…”
Ying Qingcang frowned and held her. “Don’t cry. He is fine.”
“What’s the matter with him?” Chen Chen asked anxiously. “Where is he? I’m going to see him.” After speaking, she was about to get out of the bed.
Chen Huan stopped her. “Slow down. Put on your shoes.”
It turned out that Jiang Rui was in the next ward. When Chen Chen went in, Hua Tuo was feeling Jiang Rui’s pulse. Ah Zi, Bear, Scar and Zhou Yiyun were all in the ward.
“Mrs. Jiang…” Scar looked at her guiltily. “It’s all my fault. If it hadn’t been for me, Boss would have not…”
Chen Chen interrupted him. “Stop. Yiyun has said the same thing to me before. I’ll just ask you a question. If it was me and Brother Xiao Rui who were arrested, would you go to save us?”
“I see.” Scar nodded and said nothing.
Hua Tuo tucked Jiang Rui in and shook his head. “Nothing has changed.”
Chen Chen sat by the bed, holding Jiang Rui’s hand and calling him. “Brother Xiao Rui, I’m awake, but why haven’t you woken up yet? You promised to be back in three days. This time, you can’t say that I’m stupid, because it’s me who got you back! ”
From a medical point of view, Jiang Rui had now lapsed into a form of suspended animation, also called as a vegetative person.
But Chen Huan believed that his brain was different from ordinary people’s, so this form should be used for protecting himself. But at the same time, he also became completely unconscious.
“Talk to him and see if that can wake him up.”
This was the only way at present.
Because staying in hospital was of little use, Chen Chen decided to take Jiang Rui back to the Wan family’s island. Tuan Zi thought that she could also wake up Dad, so she refused to stay in the Wen family for school and followed her parents back to the island.
Time went so fast. More than half a year later, Chen Chen’s belly got bigger and bigger, but Jiang Rui showed no signs of coming to his sense.
“Mom!” Tuan Zi ran in early in the morning. “Grandma asks you to eat breakfast!”
Chen Chen was cleaning Jiang Rui’s face while murmuring, “If you don’t wake up quickly, I’ll ask your son not to recognize you as Dad!”
However, the man still lay on the bed quietly without any reaction.
“Let’s go to eat breakfast!” Chen Chen hid her disappointment in the eyes and slowly took Tuan Zi away.
