ABRWF Chapter 360.1

Jiang Nanshu felt that the sun was blindingly bright. She abruptly opened her eyes and found herself in a narrow alley, only three meters wide.

Her mind cleared instantly. She stopped a split second before running out of the alley.

A big, speeding truck sped past her, only three centimeters away.

Because the car was going too fast, the wind whipped up and made her black hair fly.

The suffocating feeling of the seawater hitting her face was still there; Jiang Nanshu gasped for breath.

Looking down at her pale hands, her thin arms were covered in purple needle marks.

She was back.

The joy lasted only a second.

She was then grabbed by a group of people who came from behind, who tied her hands behind her back, pressed her head down, and slammed her against the wall, rendering her unable to move.

“Heh, this little wench can run pretty fast.”

Jiang Nanshu turned her head to look at the middle-aged man with a thick beard walking toward her. The smell of sweat on him disgusted her.

The man frowned in disgust at Jiang Nanshu.

He reached out and grabbed her chin tightly, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth: “B*tch, your face is the only thing worth looking at. Keep running, keep running. You’ll regret it when you get back.”

They were security guards from the mental hospital, who were actually people Zhou Yanbai had planted to monitor her.

“Get lost.”

Her cold attitude completely enraged the man.

In their eyes, Jiang Nanshu was just a prisoner; her life or death was entirely up to their boss.

He raised his hand and slapped Jiang Nanshu across the face: “Don’t push your luck.”

The pain on her cheek reawakened the violent tendencies within Jiang Nanshu.

She forcefully broke free from the restraints, pulled out the stun gun from the security guard behind her, and began beating the man mercilessly.

“Control her! She’s having another attack! Give her a sedative!”

The man was pushed to the ground by Jiang Nanshu, utterly defenseless against her relentless attacks.

Jiang Nanshu picked up a rock and smashed it hard against the man’s head.

A tube of cold liquid was violently plunged into her skin.

Before losing consciousness, Jiang Nanshu only had time to see the distressed nurse, Xu Yun, running toward her.

…

Actually, Jiang Nanshu didn’t necessarily have to leave.

The world within books was where she felt most relaxed and happy.

She didn’t have to fear her parents’ beatings or scoldings, didn’t have to put pressure on herself to become a pampered young lady in the eyes of the upper class, and didn’t have to worry about revenge from her enemies. She was so powerful; who could beat her?

She recalled the concern and care her friends had shown her, and her memory seemed to drift back to the day she jumped into the sea.

The seawater was truly cold.

When she was swept away, all she wanted was to die quickly.

But a figure swam desperately toward her, grabbing her hand tightly in the turbulent sea. He was half-drowning but refused to let go, stubbornly dragging her toward the shore.

This was the first time Jiang Nanshu had seen Lu Qingyan cry so distraughtly, even more so than when he betrayed her.

He kept shaking her, performing CPR on her cold body, and seemed to be saying something.

Jiang Nanshu couldn’t hear clearly, only his sobbing.

She thought that even if she died, Lu Qingyan wouldn’t even glance at her.

She never expected him to be so heartbroken.

Like his wife had died…

Ah, no, his wife really did die.

She also saw her five brothers, who had rushed over, but they were too late; her body had already been taken away by Lu Qingyan.

Fifth Brother only saw her shoes and mobile phone left on the wooden bridge.

He cried and wanted to jump into the sea to find her, but Big Brother stopped him.

He called the police with a pained expression.

Second Brother’s cold expression cracked for the first time; his eyes reddened as he looked at the surging sea.

And Third Brother? His eyes were dark and unreadable as he stared at his phone.

Jiang Nanshu thought that he was probably looking at the harassing phone call she made.

Did he regret not hearing her last words?
