Chapter 74 I’ll Replace You (1/2)

Yan Hua finds Shi Jing’s flat according to the address. It’s in a semi-new community.

“Madam Hua, you’d better wait for Childe Ruoxian.” The driver persuades her when she wants to go upstairs. “It’s also okay to wait for the guards.”

“But I’m afraid that Shi Jing is in danger.” Yan Hua is scared when she thinks of Shi Jing taken away by her husband. “No. I have to go upstairs.”

The driver still insists that she can’t go upstairs. At the same time, a police car is coming.

“Sir!” Yan Hua seems to see the saviors.

Two policemen get off the car and realize what happened. They go to Shi Jing’s flat by elevator immediately. Yan Hua follows them and worries about Shi Jing. But when they arrive, they find that the door is ajar. Policemen push the door and find the room is in a mess and there is blood on the ground.

“Shi Jing!” Yan Hua shouts with her heart sinks.

Policemen can’t find anyone in the room. One of them finds blood on the safe passage. So they follow the blood and call the headquarters for help.

They follow the blood to the top of the building. When opening the iron door carefully, they find Shi Jing is sitting there, covered in blood. A man sits behind her and chokes her. He is also covered by blood.

“Don’t move!” Policemen pull out the gun.

Yan Hua bites her lip tightly. She calls in a low voice, “Shi Jing. Shi Jing...”

Shi Jing moves a little. She opens her eyes slowly.

“Shi Jing!” Yan Hua raises her voice, “How are you?”

“I...I’m fine. It’s... not my blood.” Shi Jing answers.

Policemen look at them carefully. The blood is the man’s because his head is hurt.

“Are you Yan Hua?” The man raises his head slowly. He puts one of his hands in front with a kitchen knife.

Yan Hua takes a deep breath, “Yes, I am.”

“You want my wife to leave me. Why?” The man stares at her. His fierce eyes are red.

Yan Hua breathes out, “I never let Shi Jing leave you. I just save her.”

“Nonsense!” The man waves his kitchen knife.

Policemen are scared. “Mrs. Lang, you’d better leave now. Don’t irritate him!”

“You don’t go!” The man shouts again.

Yan Hua raises her hands. “I won’t go. Could you please let Shi Jing go or let me deal with your wound?”

“Don’t pretend to cheat me!” The man laughs, “Don’t you want me to die? Both you and this bitch want me to die.”

The hand he chokes Shi Jing begins to pinch her face tightly. “Don’t I treat you well? How dare you want to diverse me?”

Crack! Crack! Crack! The man hits Shi Jing’s face violently. Shi Jing doesn’t move and keeps silent.

“Speak!” The man chokes her again. “Speak! Otherwise I will kill you!”

Shi Jing coughs several times and says slowly, “What... should I say?”

“Tell me why you want to diverse me. Don’t you know I love you? I love you...”

Shi Jing seems to smile, “Do you love me? Your love makes you hit me... Your love makes my life a living hell... Your love makes me lose my kid... when I’m pregnant.”

“No, no, no. That’s not true.” The man is a little confused, “I didn’t mean to... I didn’t mean to! You understand me, right? You love me. It’s not your fault... No!”

He looks around and finally stares at Yan Hua. “It’s you. You attempt to drive a wedge between us. It’s your fault!”

“Yan Hua!” Lang Ruoxian rushes in. He tucks Yan Hua behind him when he sees what happened here.

Policemen, doctors and a negotiator are behind Lang Ruoxian.

“Mr. Lang, please leave with Mrs. Lang. It’s dangerous here!” The captain who is charge of this case suggests.

Lang Ruoxian of course agrees with him. But Yan Hua shakes her head and says, “I can’t go.”

“Listen to me. Let police deal with that.”

“No.” Yan Hua walks out. “My fault causes this problem. I can’t go right now.”

Lang Ruoxian’s face turns dark. He looks at the man with cold eyes.

Seeing so many people are here, the man chokes Shi Jing more tightly. “Yan Hua! You should come here. Come here!”

“Okay!” Yan Hua looks at him, “I’ll come if you let Shi Jing free.”

Suddenly, her wrist is painful because Lang Ruoxian catches it tightly.

“I don’t agree.” Lang Ruoxian says slowly, “I know you feel sorry to her. And you blame yourself. But it’s useless to go there. Think about your son, Gungun.”

Yan Hua cries. She shakes her head, “I can’t let her alone. I can’t...”

“Go away...” Says a weak voice.
