Chapter 278 - Came Knocking

Just as Jing Chen had said.

Bai Lian was like a guilty concubine who had been banished to the cold palace. Not only was she being neglected, but she also had nothing to do.

The wounds on her body were more than unbearable. They were simply killing her! Su Wan’s wish had been fulfilled.

She was suffering daily.

Just like that, countless days and nights passed. The wounds on her body finally stopped rupturing and she was no longer tortured repeatedly.

She could walk now.

Bai Lian had almost recovered, only leaving behind terrifying scars. It was black and blurry, and it was extremely ugly.

Fortunately, it was already winter and everyone was wearing thick clothes. When Bai Lian left the villa, it was a windy day.

The wind outside whistled past, hurting Bai Lian’s face, but no matter how painful it was, it was not as big a blow to her as her disappointment was.

During this period of time, other than the doctor changing her dressing regularly and Lin Xiu coming over to take care of her daily life,

Jing Chen did not even greet her, and Bai Lian’s message to him sank into the sea.

If she had a place to go, she probably wouldn’t even be allowed to stay in this villa…

Bai Lian smiled mockingly with self-mockery.

She walked forward aimlessly. It was early winter and it was a little cold. When there was no wind, it was comfortable.

Bai Lian knew that Su Wan had already been found and even reunited with her parents. She didn’t know what happened after they met because there was no news online.

It was harder than ascending to heaven for Bai Lian to know Su Wan’s every move. It was so easy to deal with Jing Chen back then, but it was not easy now.

Bai Lian had thought that she would be sent to prison by Jing Chen. They had gotten the only medicine she had, and she, Bai Lian, was useless.

However, this day had yet to arrive. Bai Lian could not understand it, but she had a feeling that this had something to do with Su Wan’s illness. Su Wan must not have recovered yet. Otherwise, with Jing Chen’s personality, he would not let Bai Lian stay for another second.

Just as Bai Lian was strolling aimlessly, someone suddenly stood in front of her.

Bai Lian suddenly frowned. She looked up at him coldly.

Seeing that it was a stranger, she turned around and walked away without a word.

However, every step Bai Lian took, the man followed and kept blocking Bai Lian’s way.

This was obviously intentional.

Bai Lian was already angry, and now she was even angrier. She said sternly, “Why are you blocking my way? Is there something wrong with your brain?”

The man did not know whether to laugh or cry. He sized her up calmly and said leisurely, “You’ve recovered?”

Bai Lian frowned and asked in confusion, “Who are you?”

Could it be someone sent by Jing Chen?

No, if it was sent by Jing Chen, he would either be polite and business-like to her, or he would be fierce and go straight to the point.

Unlike the person in front of her, who had a teasing tone in his words.

When the man heard this question, he placed one hand on his elbow and the other on his cheek. He said meaningfully, “Good question. How should I tell you so that you can instantly remember me?”

Bai Lian took a step back and looked at the man from head to toe.

Indeed, she had no impression of him. Bai Lian looked at him ambiguously.

When the man said this, he obviously did not want to wait for Bai Lian’s answer. Not long after, the man continued, “Mm… You indeed don’t even know what I look like, but I’m different. I’ve seen you naked from head to toe.”

As if he was enjoying it, the man’s expression returned. “Yes, your figure is really curvaceous and your waistline is tight. If I remember correctly, you blushed because you reacted to my gaze, right?”

The man was the masked man who had stabbed Bai Lian and taken off her clothes the day she was kidnapped.

He was hired by someone. He did not know who the person behind this was. After he was done, someone sent him money.

After the matter was settled, he continued to mingle around. When he had nothing to do, he would collect protection fees. When he encountered rich people, he would go and cheat some money off of them.

But no matter how much he cheated or collected, it could not match how much this job paid him.

No one had the ability of this girl to be so unforgettable to him.

It was quite easy to find her information.

But Bai Lian… after hearing this, her entire body trembled…
