The Emergency Center ward.
When the doctors and nurses were not around, Dong Xuebing placed his hand on Qu Yunxuan’s injured organs. He used REVERSE a few times to heal her organs, and he held her hands beside her.
“Yunxuan…. Wake up.”
“I am Xiao Bing. Wake up.”
“Please open your eyes.”
“Yunxuan, Yunxuan…. Wake up….”
“Aunt Xuan, please tell me what happened.”
“Why did you fall out of the windows? Did someone push you?”
No matter what Dong Xuebing called, Qu Yunxuan remained unconscious.
Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and decided to use REVERSE on Aunt Xuan to return her body’s condition to yesterday. Her life was in danger, and he didn’t care about shocking everyone. She was more important to him than getting found out. This was not the time to worry about those things. He looked at her and focused on her body.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Qu Yunxuan’s parents rushed in. “Yunxuan… where’s Yunxuan?”
Dong Xuebing quickly stood up. “Dad, Mum, why are you all here?”
“How can we not be here?!” Qu Yunxuan’s mother cried when she saw Qu Yunxuan on the bed. She went over and held her hand. “Yunxuan… don’t scare me…. Wake up….”
Yunxuan was covered in bandages, and she looked horrible.
Qu Yunxuan’s father was also crying. “Yunxuan….”
Dong Xuebing felt terrible and stood there without saying anything.
Qu Yunxuan’s mother turned around and slapped Dong Xuebing suddenly. “I had left her in your care, and this is how you care for her?!”
Dong Xuebing closed his eyes. “It was my fault. I should not have allowed her to go out alone.”
“You should protect her!” Qu Yunxuan’s mother raised her hand and was about to hit Dong Xuebing.
Qu Yunxuan’s father grabbed his wife’s arm. “Enough! What’s the point of talking about these? How is Yunxuan’s condition? Will she recover?”
Dong Xuebing firmly replied. “Don’t worry. I am sure Yunxuan will be fine.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother scolded. “Bullshit! The damage had been done!”
Qu Yunxuan’s father lost his temper. “Can you shut up?! Do you think Xiao Bing wanted this to happen? This is not his fault, and we don’t know what happened to cause her to fall out of the window.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother continued crying on the bed. “Yunxuan! You must not leave Mum….”
Dong Xuebing looked at the monitoring devices and saw Qu Yunxuan’s vitals dropping. He could not wait any longer and was about to use REVERSE.
Suddenly, Qu Yunxuan’s vitals jumped.
Qu Yunxuan’s lips moved, and she started talking. “What are you doing?! Let go of me!”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother shouted. “Yunxuan… Yunxuan…. Wake up…. It’s mum.”
Dong Xuebing and Qu Yunxuan’s father rushed forward. “Yunxuan….”
Qu Yunxuan was talking in her sleep, and she was mumbling. They could not understand what she was saying until Dong Xuebing heard the name Wan Sizhao. His face changed. He suspected Wan Sizhao of involvement in this incident, and she confirmed his suspicions.
Qu Yunxuan’s mother shouted. “Who is Wan Sizhao?!”
“The City Party Committee Secretary’s nephew. Yunxuan had met him for dinner.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother turned pale. “Yunxuan…. Was Yunxuan….”
Dong Xuebing kept quiet and started breathing heavily. His eyes were bloodshot.
After a while, Qu Yunxuan woke up. She opened her eyes and looked around weakly. “Mum, Dad…. What happened to me?”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother cried. “Silly child…. You almost died.”
Qu Yunxuan asked. “Am I in the hospital?”
Dong Xuebing replied. “Yes. You are at the Emergency Center. The doctors had performed surgery on you. You should be fine now. Don’t worry.”
Qu Yunxuan nodded and looked away.
Dong Xuebing suppressed his anger and asked. “What happened? Tell me.”
Qu Yunxuan kept quiet.
Qu Yunxuan’s father got anxious. “Tell us what happened. Did that Wan Sizhao do something to you?!”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother shouted. “That bastard Wan Sizhao! He should be killed!”
Qu Yunxuan looked at them and forced a smile. “It’s not that serious. I am fine.”
“Just tell us!” Dong Xuebing held her hand. “Tell me what he did do.”
Qu Yunxuan sighed. “It’s my fault. I had not asked around about his character before meeting him alone. I did not expect this to happen. I had reserved a private room for Liu Yang Restaurant on a bustling street. I was wary and did not drink any alcohol.”
Dong Xuebing comforted her. “It’s not your fault. I would have gone with you to meet him if I knew he was so evil.”
Qu Yunxuan just woke up, and she was struggling to talk. She seemed to be in pain and paused for around two minutes. She continued. “We started eating after entering the private room, and he tried to make me drink. I refused, but he kept insisting. At this point, I knew he was up to no good. I gave him the cigarettes and mentioned the role of the news anchor. He kept quiet and suddenly touched my legs. I avoided him and tried to leave. But….”
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath. “What happened?”
Qu Yunxuan closed her eyes. “He blocked and locked the door. He insisted I accompany him, but I refused. I avoided him, and he grabbed my sweater. He started using force on me and tore my clothes. I kicked his leg, ran to the door, and shouted. But no one was outside, and no one came to help. Wan Sizhao caught me and slapped me….” Her voice grew cold at this point. She had been friendly and gentle and seldom showed this expression.
Dong Xuebing clenched his fists. “He still hit you!?”
Everyone noticed Qu Yunxuan’s face was slightly swollen and red.
“He slapped me and kicked my stomach.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother was furious. “That bastard!”
Qu Yunxuan’s father was also mad.
Qu Yunxuan continued. “I curled up on the floor because of the pain, and he started taking off his clothes. He was sneering and insulting me. His words were terrible, and I didn’t want to repeat them. His final sentence was, ‘if I let him do what he wants, he can even let me be the TV Station Chief. I knew he would not stop, and he was unbuckling his belt. I struggled to the windows and shouted at him. He refused to stop and started running toward me after taking off his pants. I was too weak and had nowhere to run. So, I jumped out of the windows, and I don’t remember anything after that.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother asked. “That means he did not touch you?”
Qu Yunxuan shook her head and looked like she was in pain. “He had only torn my clothes. If he raped me, I would jump out the window with him!”
“You had suffered.” Qu Yunxuan’s mother held her hand.
Qu Yunxuan comforted her mother. “I am fine. Such things will happen. I had learned my lesson. Xiao Bing, you don’t need to worry for me.”
Qu Yunxuan’s father. “This is the best outcome in that situation.”
Qu Yunxuan’s mother shouted furiously. “What is Fen Zhou City doing?! Do the people here have any respect for the law?! Did he think he can do whatever he wants because he is a City Government Leader’s relative?!”
Dong Xuebing felt terrible. “It’s my fault. I should have accompanied you.”
Qu Yunxuan forced a laugh. “It’s not your fault, and stop blaming yourself. Look, I am fine now.”
Dong Xuebing replied. “What do you mean by fine?! Look at your injuries. You suffered multiple fractures, and the doctors said you would die if you arrived a few minutes later.” He was unsure if his REVERSE could revive someone.
Dong Xuebing continued. “Aunt Xuan, have some rest. I will get the doctor, and the police will be here to record your statement. Just tell the police what you said. Don’t worry. Liu Yang Restaurant had been cordoned off. Wan Sizhao will pay for what he did to you. Leave the rest to me.”
Wan Sizhao!
You dare to rape my Aunt Xuan?! You are seeking death!
Qu Yunxuan reminded Dong Xuebing. “Let the police handle it. Don’t do anything silly.”
Dong Xuebing nodded. “I know.” He would not let this matter off. If he did, he would not be called Dong Xuebing.
