The doctor had verified that Si Yiyan’s condition was stable. Hence, he removed the tubes from his body and gave some instructions, all of which Wen Xinya bore in mind.
Si Yiyan then ma.s.saged her head, greatly soothing her pain and relieving her discomfort. Her queasiness began to subside and she suddenly felt extremely sleepy. Soon, she curled up beside him and dozed off.
By the time Wen Xinya woke up again, she had already been moved back to her own ward and it was already the morning of the next day.
She did not expect to have slipped into such a deep slumber! She actually slept until daybreak and had no idea when Si Yiyan had moved her back into her own ward.
She smiled at the thought of Si Yiyan.
Caressing her head, she realized that it was no longer as painful as it was yesterday.
Si Yiyan had incredible ma.s.sage skills.
Just as she was immersed in her own thoughts, the door of the ward was opened.
Zhou Tianyu, Xu Tongxuan, Xu Zhenyu, Gu Junling, Han Mofeng, and Ling Qingxuan then entered the ward with a fruit basket and some tonics.
Zhou Tianyu stared at Wen Xinya, who was pale and lying on the bed, appearing vulnerable and weak. Her eyes turned red and she asked, “Xinya, are you alright?”
Wen Xinya smiled, though she was still pale and ghastly. “I’m alright. I didn’t sustain any severe injuries, except some abrasions and a severe impact to my head. I’ll be fine after some rest. Don’t worry, guys.”
Previously, the doctor had already checked the injury on her head and put her through acupuncture. She was also told that her blood clots would dissipate after two more days of acupuncture treatment, and she would no longer feel giddy or nauseous.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and exclaimed, “Good that you’re alright!”
Sobbing incessantly, Xu Tongxuan said, “The Wen Family has kept all information about your abduction restricted from the public. We only found out about it from Xu Zhenyu. Xu Zhenyu said that the abductors were the bunch of terrorists who escaped from the West Region. We were really shocked.”
Those people were ruthless terrorists who would not hesitate to kill! She could not help but feel terrified at the thought of the a.s.saults they had carried out.
Wen Xinya felt a cold chill down her spine when she thought about the abduction. She said in a raspy voice, “I didn’t expect that I would be able to come back alive.”
Her words rendered everyone speechless.
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan burst into tears.
Xu Zhenyu’s heart palpitated when he thought about the scenario of Wen Xinya being threatened. “Xinya, it’s already over. Those abductors have already been arrested and will face their punishment very soon.”
Although he refused to admit it, he knew that he wouldn’t have been able to rescue Wen Xinya successfully if it weren’t for the mysterious man. He felt indignant yet thankful that Wen Xinya was still alive!
“Xu Zhenyu is right. Everything is over now. Don’t let your imagination run wild. You should recuperate and rest well. Health is wealth,” said Han Mofeng, who was in awe of Wen Xinya’s courage and ability to recover from the trauma so quickly.
Gu Junling said, “Xu-er said that the wound on the back of your head is very severe and that you have to rest well. You can’t use your brain too much or stress yourself out. You should maintain a happy mood and nurse your body back to health. We’re almost going to start revising for the final year examination soon. You must know that the countdown has already begun.”
For fear that Wen Xinya would slip into fear again, Gu Junling had no choice but to motivate her using the final year examination.
Ling Qingxuan chimed in. “What’s happened cannot be undone. Fortunately, you have been rescued and you’ve returned in one piece without any major injuries. Everyone says that you’re bound to receive a great blessing after a major disaster. We must look forward to the future.”
He felt that Wen Xinya’s safety was much more important than anything else.
“Thank you, guys!” Wen Xinya exclaimed while tears welled up in her eyes. Ever since she was rescued, she had been feeling fearful at the thought of the entire process of her abduction. Her friends had placated her feelings of fear and she thoroughly agreed that friends were like chicken soup for the soul.
Everyone felt relieved after seeing that she had really gotten over it.
Zhou Tianyu asked, “Xinya, how did you get kidnapped all of a sudden?”
Xu Zhenyu was suddenly reminded of Ning Yuya. She was still kept in the black room of the military camp.
Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she said, “I have no idea what happened, either. Ning Yuya asked to meet me at a bar near Lan Feng Inst.i.tute and one of the abductors hid in the alley while I was on my way back. He held me down when I pa.s.sed by the alley, so I have a hunch that the abduction was premeditated.”
Xu Tongxuan’s eyes widened in shock and she asked, “Could it be that Ning Yuya was the one behind this?”
Back then, Ning Yuya was chased out of the Wen Family and sent abroad all because of Wen Xinya. Hence, she definitely resented her. It was no surprise that she would do something like that.
Shaking her head, Wen Xinya said, “I don’t think so. No matter how brazen Ning Yuya may be, she wouldn’t dare to collude with those abductors and commit such an act. Besides, if she was really the one who did it, she wouldn’t be so silly as to ask me out. After all, this is illegal.”
Although she had indeed suspected Ning Yuya, she soon eliminated the possibility.
After giving it some thought, everyone agreed with Wen Xinya’s a.n.a.lysis.
Xu Zhenyu said, “I’ve also investigated Ning Yuya, but I didn’t manage to find anything suspicious about her. I found out that Xinya had been abducted because of the intelligence department that found out that the abductors had been loitering around Lan Feng Inst.i.tute. Perhaps, they had already been eying Xinya a long time ago.”
Gu Junling agreed with a nod. “I think so too. After all, Xinya has been receiving too much attention lately. Not to mention, she’s also the only heir of the Wen Family. It’s only understandable that they’d kidnap her.”
Han Mofeng said, “Money is the root of all evil. Moreover, they’re just after money.”
Ling Qingxuan agreed.
She had a hunch that things were not as simple as they seemed, though she verbally expressed her agreement with their opinions. She began to think that she was reading too much into things and rubbed her throbbing head.
Ling Qingxuan said, “Xinya, you should prepare yourself mentally, though. The military and the Wen Family may be keeping the matter under wraps for now, but two may keep counsel putting one away. I reckon the media will find out very soon and make a huge issue out of it.”
Wen Xinya nodded, for she had already expected that long ago.
The few of them accompanied Wen Xinya for a chat before leaving the hospital when they noticed that she was getting tired.
