188 Selling Organs (2/2)

Lu Xinyi got out of the car and walked to Su Qing complex.

She was naive but she wasn't stupid. She knew her father and Yu Youhan men were following her. She didn't mind.

It was better to have some extra tails than your head hung upside-down in a basement of some criminal's house for ransom.

No thanks! She would rather have tails than her head hung!

Su Qing lived in the condominium on the top floor. Lu Xinyi had heard from Yu Youhan about the death of the real Lei Xinyi. She needed to give them her condolence.

Furthermore, because of her imposter, they treated Lu Xinyi well when she needed moral support.

They were still friends to her even if she wasn't Lei Xinyi so it was mandatory she goes to check upon them. And then she needed to look for a place to move out.

She had the key so she just went up, entering Lu Xinyi saw the horror she had never seen before.

Su Qing was laying on the floor with empty alcohol bottles all around her. The unfamiliar alcohol smell reeked the place.

Lu Xinyi rushed to her and called her name over and over but Su Qing was limp and cold. Her chest drummed in her chest and she looked around frantically and found a half-empty bottle of anti-depressant.

Su Qing was laying on the floor in an unnatural angle. Her skin was pale that it was almost transparent, the half-closed eyes were glazed. The only colour on her skin was the mascara that was smudged on her face.

She looked like a lifeless gothic girl.

Lu Xinyi breaths turned erratic. What should she do? Should she call Yu Youhan? Or should she call an ambulance?

No! Su Qing was an actress, her name would be tainted in both condition. A commotion will be far more lethal to her than these meds overdose!

So, Lu Xinyi called the one number, she knew would always be available to her.

After about three hours Lu Xinyi stood out in the hospital corridor. The white walls were creeping her and her heart was thumping.

Any time now the Doctors would come out and would seal Su Qing fate with a sentence or two. That scared her, the power those sentences will hold.

Master Lu came to her with a smoothie and club sandwiches, he gave her a side hug and Lu Xinyi burst out crying on his chest.

”Little Pumpkin, she is going to be alright. I have the best doctors assigned for her and I won't let anyone know about this. Now calm down and eat something.” Master Lu soothed her that only turned her cries into sobs.

”Daddy...She is a very nice person...Why is life so unfair with nice people?” Master Lu sighed and shook his head.

”Little Pumpkin, since when do you complain about fate? Whatever happens, happens for our own good. There will be goodness in this for her too.”

Lu Xinyi sniffed, and pursed her lips, ”What is good in her attempting suicide?! Daddy, she could be...dead.”

Master Lu patted her head, ”You will see, this is the course of life. Everything unfolds with time and there will be good at the end of the tunnel for her too.”

Lu Xinyi fears blurred her fate.

It was heavy on the heart that her friend would try to kill herself. When Su Qing hadn't picked her call she was panning to go tomorrow but then just thought otherwise. If she wouldn't have gotten there on time, even thinking about it shuddered her soul.

Master Lu held her closer to him and patted her head tenderly and let out a painful sigh of resignation. He could shield his little Pumpkin from the world but he couldn't shield her from reality, pain or sorrow.

He should have made her stronger to face the cruel world instead of protecting her from it.

The heavy loud footsteps resonated in the hallways and Lu Xinyi looked from her father's embrace to see He Zheng running toward them with a man that looked familiar.

Both of them had their face morphed in worry and concern. He Zheng looked at the verge of tears. While the other man looked devastated, his body was stiff and face devoid of calm.

He Zheng ran to her but Master Lu pushed her behind him, recognising the two lads at once. His soft eyes that were on Lu Xinyi turned hard with animosity.

Lu Xinyi had filled him in about her 'friends' and the situation with them but still, it worried him. Lu Xinyi was a protected child and these people she was surrounded with nowadays had survived the upper society of vultures.

They were dangerous...

When she went on and on about her friends, blabbering, she had said her teenage genius friend was a free-lancer not an insolent boy who should be behind the bars! Then behind him was the infamous player of the family of man wh*res!

Why couldn't his daughter have friends from tea parties, some harmless silicon ladies?
