Chapter 513 Nightmares Lingered on

Xia Yu folded her lips. She took off the suits and there were bruises on her fair complexion, which made her feel hurt when they were touched, especially her shoulder stampeded by Xiao Man’s high-heeled shoes.

Luckily, she was a woman as well, so she wasn’t able to exert too much strength. Those were all skin traumas and her ribs and limbs were not broken.

Upon thinking of that woman, Xia Yu began gnashing her teeth. But now it was not the time for thinking over how to deal with her. She walked to the tub and filled it with water. Then she lay in it and even buried her head into the water.

When thinking of the dirty hands of those men, Xia Yu felt like vomiting. She desperately rubbed her body, intending to rinse all the dirt.

“Click!”

The door of the bathroom was opened. Before Xia Yu could react, her whole body had been carried by Shen Yan from the tub.

“Let me go, Shen Yan. I’m besmirched.” Xia Yu cried with panic and her struggling body was like a fish out of water.

“Don’t act like that, Xia Yu. I’ve sent for the doctor.” Xia Yu’s body was full of injuries. Shen Yan was afraid they might get infected, so he didn’t listen to her. Instead, he carried Xia Yu from the bathroom to the bed.

After putting her on the bed, he returned to the bathroom and fetched the towel and hair drier. Xia Yu covered her body with the quilt, except her head.

Xia Yu stopped struggling. She lay quietly in bed. He helped Xia Yu dry her head. Suddenly, he stopped. Xia Yu turned her head to look at him. He reached out his palm and there were several hairs on it.

They must have been pulled off by those people. At that moment, Xia Yu was struggling after taking in the drug, which provoked them and invited a long beating.

“Well, my head gets a bit bald.” Xia Yu said with a bitter smile. She was determined to resist then so she hadn’t expected she would be injured so seriously by them.

“Sorry.” Shen Yan apologized in a low voice. His heart was full of regret, “I didn’t expect he would be so desperate to attack you.”

Now Shen Yan also completely believed it was plotted by Shen Mo, because every man, if not foolish, would attribute it to him. Considering Xia Yu’s identity, how should an ordinary person dare to attack her?

Only he was the one.

Shen Yan took a deep breath in his heart and swore silently that this time he would no longer show any brotherly mercy for him. Never!

Xia Yu glanced at him and didn’t say anything because she was not in the mood to talk it to him. Shen Yan continued to help Xia Yu dry her hair and his moves became more and more gentle.

As time passed by, her body became more uncomfortable. Xia Yu gnashed her teeth and tried hard to endure the pain, with cold sweat starting on her body.

Shen Yan frowned and showed a bit worry. He stood up, walking to the bathroom. After a short while, he took out a wet towel and put it on Xia Yu’s forehead. He said gently, “Hold on for a while. The doctor will arrive soon.”

Xia Yu nodded. Indeed, the doctor arrived after a short while, who was senile but kind. Shen Yan called him Uncle Li which meant they were close. Xia Yu felt a bit relieved in her heart and rested much assured.

Probably, Shen Yan had told the old man Xia Yu’s conditions in advance. The old man went over to further check her wounds and immediately became angry. He said harshly, “How should they be in defiance of the law, they, bastard?”

The old man scolded while taking out potions from the medicine kit he brought here. He helped Xia Yu get an injection and stuck a hook on the wall to hang the potions.

“This medicine is to be taken orally. Now have it.”

Shen Yan had already prepared some water, so he helped Xia Yu sit up. After she took the medicine, he then helped her lie down.

“Here’s the Yunan Baiyao. By the way, drink more water….”

The old man handed over the medicine to Shen Yan and entrusted him with some other things. Shen Yan saw the old man off at the door and went back to the room after a while. He took the Yunan Baiyao from the table and took off Xia Yu’s quilt, “Help you apply the medicine.”

“I’ll do it by myself.” Xia Yu reached to take over the medicine from Shen Yan’s hand.

“The wound on your back is beyond your reach.” Then Shen Yan took off the quilt.

Each wound on her body was applied to medicine carefully. After it was done, he covered her with the quilt at once.

Xia Yu yawned. The medicine must have contained sedation, which made her eyelids heavy.

“Sleep! I’ll stay with you. No one can ever hurt you.”

His voice rang into her ears, making Xia Yu’s anxious heart calm down. After a while, she fell asleep.

As soon as Xia Yu fell asleep, Shen Yan called Liu Sijie at once, “Have they confessed?”

Though he was convinced in his heart that it was Shen Mo, he still needed evidence. After all, Shen Mo was Old Madame’s favorite grandson. Without convincing evidence, Old Madame was sure to stand at Shen Mo’s side.

“Those men confessed they were employed by Xiao Man, but she was by no means willing to confess the culprit. She repeated only one sentence that Xia Yu should go to die, because she stole Zeng Mina’s man.” Liu Sijie had used all the punishment he could use, but Xiao Man wouldn’t say it out, which made him feel frustrated.

After all, he was not as a hooligan as Li Tianci. He couldn’t send her to the nightclub indeed.

“As for Cai Yanyan, it was said her video of ill repute was in Xiao Man’s hands, so she was tricked Xia Yu to come over. She didn’t expect Xiao Man would be so callous and treat Xia Yu so cruelly. Now she is in deep regret.” Seeing Shen Yan silent for a long while, Liu Sijie reported Cai Yanyan’s situation to Shen Yan, too.

“That woman is rather greedy. She is not a good person. Considering she called me to rescue, you give her a lesson and let her piss off.” Shen Yan came to rescue Xia Yu because Cai Yanyan called him. At that time Shen Yan said he wouldn’t let her off.

But for her, Xia Yu would not suffer so much. But when he thought it over, how could a fragile woman resist Shen Mo? Considering she still had a conscience, Shen Yan decided to let her off.

“OK. What about Chen Wenxuan?” But for Chen Wenxuan had arrived in time, Xia Yu would have been molested.

This coward, at last, did something bravely and he was beaten heavily by those men and badly injured.

“Give him some money. Get two people to send him to the hospital.” Shen Yan was a man with a clear sense of gratitude and resentment. Since Chen Wenxuan saved Xia Yu, Shen Yan would treat him fairly.

“OK. I’ll get it done at once.” Liu Sijie didn’t ask what to do with those people. Instead, he confined them of his own accord. At present, Xia Yu needed to be looked after. He’d better let Shen Yan deal with after Xia Yu recovered a bit more.

Xia Yu’s wounds had received treatment, but she didn’t sleep well and was always in a nightmare, in which she went back to that dark room, surrounded by three naked men while Xiao Man was holding a phone to shoot. She said while laughing gleefully, “Xia Yu, it’s what you deserve because you steal a man.”

“Let me go. Don’t touch me. Piss off….” Xia Yu struggled wildly in her dream and shouted.

“Xia Yu, Xia Yu, wake up!” Shen Yan’s anxious voice rang into her ears.

Xia Yu suddenly opened her eyes and Shen Yan’s face appeared in front of her. Xia Yu wiped her forehead and found there was all cold sweat.

“You had a nightmare, didn’t you?” Shen Yan held Xia Yu’s hand and asked.

Xia Yu nodded, sat up and looked up at the potion. It seemed to be changed very lately because it was only consumed a little.

“What’s the time?” Xia Yu’s voice was hoarse, and her throat was dry and itchy, which made her cough a few times.

“Right after 2 a.m..” Shen Yan said while passing the glass which was put on the nightstand to Xia Yu.

After drinking some water, Xia Yu felt her throat better now. She passed back the glass to Shen Yan.

“You go to sleep! No need to accompany me.” Xia Yu saw there was a trace of fatigue between his eyebrows.

Shen Yan glanced at the potion and said, “There is another bottle after this potion. I’d like to stay aside.”

Seeing him insist, Xia Yu didn’t say anything. Having been wakened up from a nightmare, she was not in the state to fall asleep, so she began chatting with him, asking him how he got to know she was in that villa.

“After you called me, I felt it was awkward and was looking for you everywhere. Cai Yanyan called me and told me the address. Then I brought some people here.” When he said this, Shen Yan’s hand trembled a bit. He couldn’t imagine how should Xia Yu ran into such an accident.

“Xiao Qiang told me earlier that Cai Yanyan is not a sincere woman. She is very selfish. No matter how nicely you treat her, she will betray you in front of interests. At that time, I thought he exaggerated. Now I find he is very correct.” If she didn’t see Cai Yanyan’s expression by her own eyes, Xia Yu could never imagine she was such a person.

“Now you’ve known what kind of person she is. Don’t get along with her from now on.” Shen Yan frowned again.

“I’m afraid there is no possibility.” After this, Xia Yu believed Cai Yanyan would never show up in front of her again, which was good. Otherwise, Xia Yu felt that she couldn’t help heckling her.

Xia Yu had planned to ask him where the pistol was from, but later she gave up after a second thought. It would do her no good to know much. Even though she asked, he might be reluctant to tell her.

“Well.” He didn’t continue to say anything but there was fright and anger in his deep eyes.

But Xia Yu indeed felt lucky that she had called Shen Yan. Though she didn’t say anything, they had one mind and he came to look for her. Seemingly, it was destiny and he was the one to save her. But for him, Xia Yu would have been tortured in that room until now. Though he was involved, he was unable to predict it.

“Those people, what will you do with them?” Now they couldn’t call the police or the police would know Shen Yan had the pistol.

“I will see to it.” He squinted with the air of killing in the eyes.

“Tomorrow I want to see Xiao Man again.” Xia Yu looked at him and said.

He hummed and then let Xia Yu lie down.

When she fell asleep again, she no longer had a nightmare. She woke up the next morning. She opened her eyes and turned to look at Shen Yan who fell asleep.

Xia Yu wanted to get up because she needed to go to the toilet, but she found her fingers were held by Shen Yan. She frowned and pulled out her fingers. Though she was gentle, Shen Yan woke up as well. He opened his eyes and looked at Xia Yu. His confusion flashed away and he became sober.

“Feel better now?” He asked.

“Yes, much better.” She felt tired and her body was sluggish with no strength. Additionally, she felt her body ached as if she had been crushed by a car.

But her spirits had recovered, and her wounds were recovering, too. Xia Yu let Shen Yan rest assured.
