st and didn't want to lose this client. After a while of watching, she muttered: "The other party was very aggressive and barged in directly. I and the doctor and nurses couldn't stop them." 。Shutingl...Chen Ning's reaction, he understood as an stress response left by past trauma, so he comforted her at home: "I won't let him hurt you again, relax, I'm here for everything."

"Well, I'm fine." Chen Ling replied. Her face was still pale, and she looked at Song Jingye several times, as if she wanted to say something but held back.

She didn't know whether she should tell him everything that had happened in the village before. She was afraid that once she said it out loud, there would be no going back.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to be sure how deep Song Jingye's love for her was, whether it was deep enough to encompass all of her past.

In the evening, she first took a shower and went to bed, lying on her side with her back against the outside. Song Jingye came up after taking a shower, hugged her from behind, turned her over to lie flat, and leaned down to kiss her when he realized she was crying tears. He panicked, "What's wrong"

Chen Ling turned her face to the other side, wiping tears with both hands, but the more she wiped, the more came. Song Jingye sat up and lifted her from the pillow, holding her in his arms. He knew it was because of that man's affair, so he comforted her while wiping away her tears: "It's all in the past. Now no one can hurt you anymore. Trust me."

Song Jingye thought, she was not a weak woman. Now like this, it could be seen how much the previous experiences had hurt her.

Chen Ling buried her head in his arms and suddenly said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't deserve you."

She knew he didn't want to hear this, but it was her true feeling at this moment, and it was the truth. She didn't deserve him. She didn't deserve him.

"Song Jingye heard her words and was somewhat angry: 'Didn't I say before, don't say these things, you are enough for anyone. If we really want to talk about not being worthy, it's me who is unworthy of you, who is willing to give your life for me.'"

Song Jingye kissed away her tears, laid her back on the bed, and leaned down to continue kissing her. He kissed her temples, her lips, with an unprecedented tenderness.

Chen Ling wanted to cherish this tenderness, responding with a fiery passion, just like that last time.

That night, the two of them didn't go to sleep until very late. Song Jingye didn't want her to overthink things again, so he kept going until she was too tired to think and almost fell asleep.

Chen Ning didn't sleep soundly. In the dead of night, a nightmare suddenly woke her up. She was back in that small black room, a man with blood all over his face lay on the ground, dazed and confused. She panicked and ran, running until she bumped into that military green figure.

As soon as she woke up, Song Jingye knew. He pulled her into his arms, his broad palm gently patting her back, coaxing her back to sleep. He didn't offer any comfort, for words seemed pale and inadequate in the face of such a situation.

Chen Ning slept unsteadily all night, feeling groggy and disoriented when she woke up in the morning.

"Would you like to take a day off" Song Jingye asked.

"No, I'll just wash my face." She got out of bed and took her phone into the bathroom with her. It had been off all night, and now she finally had the courage to turn it on.

As expected, as soon as she turned it on, her phone vibrated over a dozen times. They were messages from the man. She trembled as she read them one by one.

He cursed and threatened her, saying he had Zhang Lao Shi's contact information and Song Jingye's mother's contact information. He said with one phone call, he could ruin her reputation.

"Don't think that just because I shut down, I can't find you."

"One million to buy my brother's life, buying your future and happiness is not a bad deal."

Otherwise, you murderer, a life for a life.

Chen Ning was completely shattered by these three words. Her legs went weak and she sank to the floor beside the washbasin, her stomach cramping, nausea rising, and dizziness overwhelming her.

She had been living on hope these past years, convincing herself that the rock she threw at the simpleton all those years ago wasn't fatal. That's what she always believed.

At this moment, I'm still clinging to the hope that he only wants money. As long as he hasn't gotten his hands on it, he won't do anything that would result in both of us losing.

She couldn't bring herself to tell Song Jingye that she might be a murderer.

Just these three words were enough to shatter her spirit.

Song Jingye's voice came from outside the door, "Are you alright"

"Okay." She got up from the ground, splashed some water on her face quickly, then opened the door.

Song Jingye grabbed her hand, very forcefully: "Rest at home today."

Her condition is too bad.

Chen Ling thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."

She needed to get a lot of things sorted out. She didn't want to be led around by the nose like this.

Song Jingye accompanied her to finish breakfast and gave her a few more reminders before driving away. He too, had to find that man today and have a good talk with him.

After he left, the house was very quiet. Only the rustling of birds passing through the branches in the yard could be heard. Her heart finally calmed down from yesterday until now.

Gathering her courage, she reread the man's messages, her eyes lingering on the last few. He knew Ms. Zhang's contact information and Song Jingye's mother's contact information.

It was then that she realized how he knew.

Teacher Zhang and Song Jingye's mother's phone number, he is a nobody from the capital with no education, it's impossible for him to have gotten their contact information.

The only possibility is that someone gave it to him.

This sent her heart plummeting to the very bottom. Someone was lurking in the shadows, meticulously plotting to kill her.

She remembered the denouncement letter and Tao Kaiyan. No matter what, she didn't believe Tao Kaiyan would do such a cruel thing. They were fellow disciples, with no grievances or enmity. The denouncement letter was already her limit, but she couldn't think of anyone else who would do such a thing.

After she calmed down, she thought it was pointless to dwell on this anymore. She considered for a moment and then sent a message to Yaoyao, "Yaoyao, do you know any lawyers who specialize in criminal cases A friend of mine is having some trouble and wants to ask for advice."

Yao Yao is the only friend who has nothing to do with her entanglement, and she is also someone she can trust. She never had the courage to tell Song Jingye about this, unable to face him.

>>>Yayay quickly pushed a business card over to her: "This is Lawyer Shu's WeChat. Although she doesn't handle criminal cases now, she has handled very influential criminal cases. You should have your friend contact her."give my regards to Ruanruan. 。Go to sleep. 。"Lu Kuo glanced at her with disdain, continuing his conversation on his phone. It wasn't Ruan Ruan, but Gu Ruandong." 。He replied to Gu Ruandong's question...
