Chapter 248 Hmm, I'm very afraid

Song Ni was drugged and injected with a sedative, and she slept deeply and for a long time. Tan Zheng stayed by her side, never leaving, never sleeping. He received a call from Tang Qin Yun. "That man made his fortune in construction materials. His name is Zhang Lin. He only became wealthy in real estate a few years ago. I've had him investigated. He has a sexual fetish." Tang Qin Yun paused here. "He must have used that drug many times. He said he originally planned to have Nini with Bai Xiyuan... but Nini smashed his head before he could succeed." "Bai Xiyuan approached Zhang Lin herself. She told Zhang Lin that Nini was her sister and a newcomer to the entertainment industry, so Zhang Lin thought Nini was there to make connections." "The idea for the bathroom was Bai Xiyuan's. She didn't expect Zhang Lin to be such a lunatic. After she opened the room, he directly locked her to the bed." "There was also a bribed waiter who messed up Nini's clothes, which is why Nini went to the bathroom." "We got to the monitoring room early, and they hadn't had time to destroy it yet." "When Zhang Lin opened the door, Nini grabbed a decorative vase by the door and smashed it on his head. However, she used all her strength. Nini... crawled to the hallway. Zhang Lin chased after her, but he temporarily fainted from bleeding, which allowed Nini to reach the stairwell." "I've detained all of them. How do you want to deal with them?" As Tan Zheng heard that the usually proud young girl had crawled to the hallway and the stairwell, his eyes darkened inch by inch, like the deep sea stirred by a midnight storm, chilling him to the bone. "Keep them detained for now. I'll be there later." Tang Qin Yun had no objections. "What about Nini? Is she still asleep?" "Yes." "Take good care of her. Although she's strong, this is her first time experiencing something like this. It's inevitable that she'll feel uncomfortable." "I know." After hanging up, Tan Zheng lifted the covers and rolled up the hem of his skirt, noticing that Song Ni's knees were still red. It was his fault; he hadn't noticed the abnormality when he changed her clothes earlier. Tan Zheng found a first-aid kit. Fearing he would wake Song Ni, he first softened the ointment in his palm, and only when it was no longer cold did he apply it to Song Ni. Song Ni woke up at four in the morning. Tan Zheng was sitting by the bed. He personally saw Song Ni wake up with a start, quickly sit up, pull up the covers in a defensive posture, and then survey the room. Tan Zheng immediately went over and pulled Song Ni into his arms. "Baby, I'm here. This is at Lanting." Song Ni blinked. The long sleep made her mind not so sharp. She was processing Tan Zheng's words, but her body automatically moved closer to Tan Zheng's embrace, sensing his familiar presence. After a long while, Song Ni asked, "Are we back?" "Yes." Tan Zheng gently patted Song Ni's back, kissing her forehead as he did so. "We're back, baby. Nothing happened. You did very well." Song Ni suddenly sighed in relief. "I thought that one blow didn't work." She had been drugged at the time, relying on the pain from hurting herself to stay conscious. With her last ounce of willpower, she struck the man once. She didn't know how much force she had used, but in that situation, even with all her might, the blow might not have been that heavy. Tan Zheng felt a pang of heartache hearing Song Ni's words. Tang Qin Yun was right; Song Ni was very strong. After waking up, she wasn't thinking about how to pour out her grievances but about what she had done during the incident. "Baby is amazing." Tan Zheng kissed the top of Song Ni's head, then picked up the water that had been kept warm on the bedside table and fed it to her sip by sip. After Song Ni had drunk enough, Tan Zheng finally asked, "Are you scared?" Song Ni paused, then looked up into Tan Zheng's deep eyes, seeing the evident heartache. Song Ni suddenly pulled at the corner of her mouth, raised her hand, and made a gesture. "A little bit. But it feels like... you're scared?" Tan Zheng caught her wrist, preventing her from moving, and admitted, "Yes, I am very scared." It started when Su Qing showed him the phone and Song Ni's number was no longer reachable. Even though he knew it was a message left by Song Ni, even though he knew he had been the first to sense that something was wrong, his heart sank when he saw her high heels and traces of blood in the bathroom. Even more so when he saw the bloodstain in the hallway, and then, after hearing the unspeakable sounds from the room, he was terrified. He was afraid his little girl had suffered irreparable harm, especially when he saw the blood trail ending at the stairwell. He was truly scared. Scared he had arrived too late. This was the first time Song Ni had heard such words from Tan Zheng. Although it was novel, Song Ni didn't have her usual playful mood. Because she knew that Tan Zheng's fear was because of her. Song Ni leaned her head on the man's shoulder. "I'm fine now. Don't be scared. What you need to do is get revenge for me." Song Ni could always easily perceive others' emotions and then, with a simple sentence, help them out of their emotional state. "Yes, Tang Qin Yun has everyone detained at the hotel now." Song Ni blinked. "Then we'll go together when it's dawn?" "You want to go?" "Of course. That one blow wasn't enough to vent my anger." In fact, it wasn't just that. More importantly, she was afraid Tan Zheng would do something too extreme. "Okay, are you hungry?" "Yes." "I'll go downstairs and get you some soup. Qin Yang asked you to call her when you woke up." "She should be resting at this hour." "She won't blame you if you wake her up this time." Tan Zheng got up, kissed Song Ni's cheek, and cautioned her not to move her injured hand before going downstairs. Song Ni thought for a moment and decided to call Qin Yang. Song Ni expected that Qin Yang would be woken up by her call but wouldn't have a temper. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she dialed, it would be answered in less than half a minute. "Nini, you're awake?!" Hearing Qin Yang's voice, though hoarse, completely devoid of sleep, Song Ni asked, "You haven't slept all night?" "How could I sleep? Are you okay?" Song Ni looked down at her hands. "Just a small injury, nothing serious." "That's good. Bai Xiyuan, that damned slut, actually found a madman to harm you. She deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces." Hearing Bai Xiyuan's name, the smile on Song Ni's lips faded. "Where is she?" If she remembered correctly, Bai Xiyuan was in the room at the time, but she hadn't seen her clearly. "She, she completely reaped what she sowed. She was locked to the bed by that lunatic Zhang Lin and whipped with a whip. There wasn't a single spot on her body that wasn't injured." It was as Song Ni had guessed; Zhang Lin did have sadomasochistic tendencies. "She looks like she's gone mad too." "Bah, what a virtuous maiden, what a goddess, she's just rotten to the core. She knew Zhang Lin played rough and still wanted to harm you, thinking she could get away with it. She's so stupid." Hearing this, Song Ni let out a cold laugh. "She'll be even more miserable."
