The Blind Lover - Chapter 91

Chapter 91: He Came

“Alright then, tell me, who betrayed my father?” Qin Yu asked.

With a body drenched in sweat, fatigue washed over her like waves hitting the beach. Wave after wave, her face turned pale but she seemed unaffected, conversing just as normal.

Lao Zhang’s expression changed. “I didn’t know about this.”

“Then tell me, who should I talk to?”Qin Yu looked at Lao Zhang.

“You should talk to Shi Yong,” said Lao Zhang.

Qin Yu smiled and sighed. “Where’s your sincerity? And you wanted us to strike a deal?”

Lao Zhang was at a loss for words. “You –”

Qin Yu exhaled. “At most, Shi Yong took me in under orders. He might not have known about what happened to my father. Otherwise, in my understanding of his personality, he wouldn’t have allowed me to live. As for you, something must’ve happened for you to turn away your peaceful life. Why did you come looking for me all of a sudden? Did you get into trouble?”

Lao Zhang looked at Qin Yu. “You’re not retarded but very smart instead, young madam.”

Qin Yu smiled. “How am I still here talking to you if I wasn’t?”

Lao Zhang shut his mouth.

Qin Yu bit the tip of her tongue hard to keep herself awake. “Talk among yourselves. Show me your sincerity if you want a deal. You want the box, I want the truth.”

“Do you really know where the box is?” Lao Zhang asked with an uncertain tone in his voice.

Qin Yu looked at the doctor holding the needle. “You went through all the trouble for a gamble?”

The doctor avoided Qin Yu’s gaze.

Lao Zhang whispered a few words to the doctor before leaving the room.

Qin Yu heaved a gentle sigh of relief. She said to the doctor, “Can you give me a sip of water?”

He hesitated.

Qin Yu sighed. “I don’t have any strength now. Even if you let me go, I won’t be able to escape. It’s just a sip of water, please have mercy on me.”

After giving it some thought, the doctor put the needle down and turned around to get some water.

At that very moment, Qin Yu’s right hand managed to slip out of the handcuff, doing it at an impossible angle and in silence.

The doctor came over with a glass of water. Just as he stood thinking how the lady should drink lying on the table, Qin Yu flashed a smile and clenched his throat with her right hand.

Pushing herself hard, she managed to shove the doctor aside and freed herself from the handcuffs before undoing the knot on her feet.

Sweating profusely, dripping all the way from her forehead. She panted heavily and rolled onto the ground from the bed.

There was no pain at all, but exhaustion, hitting in waves.

Qin Yu picked up the knife on the operating table and stabbed her arm, waking herself up through the intense pain.

She looked in the direction of the door and began calculating how long she’d need to reach it.

She came in with her eyes covered and had no idea how the surrounding was. After some contemplation, she took two more knives from the table as weapons.

She had to give it her all. There was nobody but herself to rely on. Now that she thought about it, her parents went through the exact same situation.

She felt as if she was fighting with the spirits of her parents. Uncle Chu Nan and Uncle Xu Da told her that as the daughter of Qin Sheng and Zhu Yi, she could not be weak.

From outside of the room came the sounds of fighting.

Qin Yu was stunned, and quite puzzled. Did someone come to rescue her?

Bam!

The door fell down, temporarily blinding her with dust and sand.

“Xiao Yu!” came Ning Chen’s anxious voice.

“Brother?” Qin Yu was dumbfounded.

Why was Ning Chen here? How did he get here?

“Xiao Yu!” Ning Chen strode forward and grabbed her, holding her in his arms.

Qin Yu’s heart was full of joy and serenity.

Never did she hope on anybody else to save her, and yet Ning Chen came.

Ning Chen’s hand caressed her back. “Are you hurt? You must be frightened.”

Qin Yu broke away from his tenderness. “How did you get here? Who brought you here? Let’s get out!”

Qin Yu pulled Ning Chen toward the exit. As her body was extremely weak, two steps and she collapsed to the ground.

Ning Chen almost fell down with her.

Qin Yu struggled to get up and she saw Lao Zhang rushing over; the black muzzle of his gun pointing right at her.

Qin Yu pushed Ning Chen away without thinking. “Watch out!”

Bam!

Qin Yu heard the bullet penetrating flesh, but she didn’t feel any pain.

A heavy body pressed on her body.

“Brother!”Qin Yu muttered.

“Brother –” Qin Yu cried.
