CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110: A CRY FOR HELP AT THE STAIRWELL

At noon, Sang Yu and He Xiulan went to the hospital together.

"Sister-in-law."

Wei Jin: "Xiao Yu, why are you here too?"

Sang Yu smiled and said: "I came to see you, congratulations, sister-in-law."

Wei Jin smiled gently. For some reason, she seemed even gentler after becoming pregnant, radiating a maternal glow.

Sang Yu had noticed this before.

But she hadn’t thought much about it until now.

He Xiulan took out the soup from the lunch box: "This soup was made by Xiao Yu and me together. We read that it’s beneficial for pregnant women."

Wei Jin: "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Xiao Yu."

He Xiulan: "No need to be polite."

"Chunhe, have some too," He Xiulan said.

Jiang Chunhe: "No need, let Ah Jin have it all. I won’t drink any."

He Xiulan: "We made a lot. Xiao Jin can’t finish it alone. You should have some."

Hearing this, Jiang Chunhe drank a little.

Sang Yu noticed the water on the table was gone and said, "I’ll go fetch some water."

Wei Jin: "Alright, thank you, Xiao Yu."

Sang Yu shook her head and went out with the kettle.

At the end of the corridor, she filled it with hot water. Just as she finished and was about to leave, she suddenly heard a cry for help near the stairs.

Sang Yu put down the kettle and was about to go over, but abruptly stopped after taking two steps, realizing something.

She retreated a few steps and approached a nurse in the corridor, saying: "Excuse me, I think I heard someone calling for help near the stairs. Could it be one of your patients went over there?"

The nurse asked: "Where??"

"Right over there by the stairs."

"Okay, I see."

The nurse quickly headed toward the stairs.

After the nurse disappeared from the stairway, Sang Yu returned to the ward quickly but didn’t enter immediately.

Instead, she peeked to see the nurse coming back out from the stairs.

Sang Yu’s face suddenly turned pale with fear.

"Xiao Yu?" He Xiulan suddenly appeared behind Sang Yu, startling her.

He Xiulan looked at Sang Yu’s pale face and asked: "Xiao Yu, what’s wrong with you?"

Sang Yu was afraid of worrying He Xiulan, so she shook her head: "Nothing, just looking at something."

He Xiulan thought Sang Yu seemed strange, wondering what she was looking at with that frightened expression.

But since Sang Yu didn’t offer more, she chose not to press further.

After Sang Yu returned with the water, they chatted for a while before He Xiulan and Sang Yu left.

As soon as they got back, Sang Yu called Jiang Jingming.

"You did well. If something similar happens again, you must not face it alone, understand?"

Sang Yu nodded: "I understand. Jingming, are you doing something?"

Jiang Jingming paused for a moment and said: "Don’t worry, it will be resolved soon. In the meantime, stay at Auntie’s house and avoid going to the hospital."

Sang Yu thought of what happened at the hospital; if it weren’t for the crowded corridor, she might have been abducted.

Thinking of this, Sang Yu nodded: "Okay, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, a sharp glint flashed in Jiang Jingming’s eyes.

Clearly, his action had been too slow.

...

"Useless, what difference does it make if there are people? Couldn’t you have just grabbed her and left?"

"You said not to alert them."

"Damn it, at this time, who cares about alerting or not? Our shipment is about to be dispatched! Useless!"

The team members dared not speak.

If earlier they hadn’t cared, they would have taken her right from the corridor.

"What do we do now?"

"You’re asking me? How would I know? Get out, all of you, good-for-nothing!"

The group left with their heads down.

After they left, the man picked up the phone and made a call.

"Yes, it failed."

"Okay, I understand."

"Yes."

"Okay."

After hanging up, the man headed straight to where Song Jiajia was held.

Due to fear, Song Jiajia’s face was perpetually pale, and she felt discomfort in her stomach.

But these people refused to let her go to the hospital for a checkup, and her child was likely in jeopardy.

The man approached Song Jiajia and said: "Do you want to see Sang Yu?"

Song Jiajia swiftly lifted her head to look at him.

The man spoke leisurely: "As long as you help us lure Sang Yu out, we’ll release you. How about it?"

Song Jiajia’s eyes showed a hint of excitement: "Really?"

"Of course, it’s true."

Song Jiajia: "Alright, I’ll help you."

The man smiled: "Very straightforward. I’ll come to pick you up tomorrow; you’d better think carefully about how to lure Sang Yu out, or else..."

The man flashed his short blade, emitting a dazzling light.

Song Jiajia’s face paled again, quickly saying: "I will definitely do it."

The man: "That’s good."

After the man left, Song Jiajia collapsed onto the chair, exhausted.

Sang Yu, don’t blame me for being ruthless; you brought this upon yourself for taking everything from me. What I’m suffering now should have been yours.

A ruthless glint flashed in Song Jiajia’s eyes.

...

The next day

The man released Song Jiajia: "Don’t think about running because there’s nowhere in Sea City we can’t find."

"Also, don’t think about calling the police unless you believe they can protect you. You can try if you don’t trust us."

Song Jiajia’s face looked grim hearing the man’s warning.

"I, I understand."

After leaving the building, Song Jiajia headed to the address the man had given.

Song Jiajia initially wanted to stop by the hospital, but the man warned her that delaying them would lead to her and her child’s demise.

She could only protect her stomach and go to find Sang Yu first.

And place all the blame on Sang Yu.

Finally reaching the man’s given address, Song Jiajia got off the car.

She walked to the door and knocked.

He Xiulan opened the door, noticing Song Jiajia looked somewhat disheveled.

He Xiulan’s eyes were full of curiosity: "Hello? Who are you looking for?"

Song Jiajia looked at He Xiulan; she remembered, Jiang Jingming’s aunt.

Song Jiajia bit her lip and said: "I’m looking for Sang Yu."

He Xiulan glanced up and down at Song Jiajia: "Why are you looking for Xiao Yu?"

Song Jiajia was impatient but recalled the man’s instructions, so she said: "I have something to tell her. Tell her I’m her cousin; she’ll come out."

After Song Jiajia said that, He Xiulan’s face changed.

She had seen Song Jiajia when she was young, but hadn’t seen her since.

So she didn’t recognize Song Jiajia.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of her was indeed Song Jiajia; recalling her actions, He Xiulan naturally didn’t have a good expression.

"Why are you looking for Xiao Yu?" He Xiulan’s tone suddenly turned cold.

Song Jiajia was too consumed to care, only saying: "She’ll understand."

Afraid of delaying Sang Yu’s matters, He Xiulan ultimately said: "Wait here then."

With that, she closed the door.
