Chapter 133: Coming up with a plan
I watched with my eyes opened wide; speechless. Anson was still moving on the ground. His brain wasn’t shot, but his arm was. The bullet came from outside and shot the arm he was using to hold the gun.
Earlier, while we were in the car, I had secretly stuffed my cell phone in Suyang’s hand. I hinted that he shouldn’t argue with Xialing any longer.
After Xialing confiscated Suyang’s cell phone, Suyang was still able to use my phone to send a text message to the police officers he was familiar with. He texted them our location.
So, the whole time, Suyang and I were trying to buy ourselves more time. Just as we thought we were done for, the cops showed up at a vital moment.
After we were untied, the first thing I did was embrace Suyang. We nearly died and experienced something that only belonged to the two of us. Suyang’s heart was pounding furiously. I could feel every single beat.
“We’re ok now. It’s fine….” Suyang quietly comforted me.
I took a look at Anson. He was blankly staring at the ceiling. I also saw the gunshot wound on my arm. Deep down, I thought to myself, Wow, not only have I gotten shot on my chest...now I have a shot on my arm! What sins have I committed to deserve this? What kind of girl has so many gunshot wounds?
“Suyang, you….” Suddenly, Anson seemed to have came back alive. His eyes looked like they were spitting fire.
After Suyang and I were untied, Suyang’s expression completely changed. “Based on what happened to my parents and what happened just now, I will never forgive you!”
“But you just….”
“You were correct. I was lying to you all along.” Suyang icily responded.
A drop of tear came out of Anson’s eyes. After the cops helped him wrapped his wound, they lifted him up. I figured Suyang’s statement will cause Anson misery for life.
Before the cops took him away, Anson began to laugh like a madman. He stared at me. “You think you’ve won? Actually, I won.”
I didn’t understand what he meant until afterwards. ‘Lin Yixin’ was the one who was taken away!
-----
That day, I watched as ”I” was taken away. For a long time, I wasn't able to snap out of it. Three days had gone by since Anson was arrested. Fortunately, after a lot of investigation, we accidentally discovered that Sheyu was the police officer watching over Anson.
Based on the relationship we had with her in the past, Suyang was able to find out some stuff in regards to Anson's current status and future possibilities.
Most likely, Sheyu was in shock. The good citizen Lin Yixin somehow ended up as one of the criminals she had to guard.
By the time the police had shown up, Huaze Yuxiang and Xialing had already escaped. So, Anson was the only one who was arrested.
I curled up at the corner of the couch as I bit my nails restlessly. My eyes couldn't help but continuously turned towards the clock that against the wall. Suyang had left over four hours ago.
Suddenly, I heard someone pressing the password on the door. I swiftly got up from the couch and rushed to the entrance. As expected, it was Suyang. I ran and seized him by the arm. ”How's everything?”
Suyang's complexion didn't look good. My heart began to beat irregularly. ”Is it really bad? Are they going to press charges against 'Lin Yixin'?”
”Sheyu says if we don't wish to press charges, then the issue will pass. But right now, Anson isn't who we have to worry about. You're in bigger trouble. During the chaos, one of Sheyu's colleagues recognized 'Anson'. Sheyu says that her colleague has been investigating Anson for a long time. At this rate, you're going to be in a lot of danger.”
Anson was truly ruthless. After all this, he still wants me to pay for his crimes.
”Then, we better figure out a way to quickly switch our souls back!” I lowered my head and thought about it. ”Anson is still in the hospital, right?”
”He's in a coma at the hospital. We could use this time to switch your souls back. Except....”
”Is Grandmother Meng ok?” I haven't actually seen Grandmother Meng since she had been rescued. I was ashamed to see her because she wouldn't have been in danger if it weren't for me.
”Based on my granny's condition, I don't think she will be able to help you. Granny has gone through a lot in her lifetime but she is quite old now, so she really needs to rest.”
Suyang saw how depressed I was and gently caressed me. ”Don't worry, I'm sure we'll think of something. Even if you're a man for life, I'll accept it.”
I pressed my head on his shoulders and wailed in Anson's deep voice, ”Nooooo...”
”You make it sound like I'm useless!” Suddenly, Grandmother Meng barged in through the door like a boss.
Suyang and I instantly leaped apart from each other.
”Grandmother Meng, you.....” I exclaimed.
The moment Grandmother Meng came in, she saw me as Anson. She came over and touched my face gently. ”Oh child, you still look the same as back then. You didn't change at all.”
”Didn't change at all? How come I felt like he changed a lot? If I didn't do a deep analysis, I wouldn't have recognized him.” Suyang argued.
”What do you know? You were a child back then! How would you remember?” muttered Grandmother Meng.
”Grandmother Meng... do you know who I am?”
