Chapter 841 - 822: Dawn in Life
On the other side, a residential area on Guangfulin Road.
Su Lin received a call from Qin Mobai, asking someone to check the villa over there to see if Shen Ruozhuo was being held captive.
After all, this woman had been missing for two days, and the last person to see her was Lou Xi.
Reluctantly, Su Lin brought people over here. Perhaps, after seeing the news, everyone inside the villa fled. He searched everywhere upstairs and downstairs but found no one.
Just as Su Lin was about to leave with his men, he heard a sound coming from the basement.
"Go check it out," Su Lin directed his subordinates, naturally unwilling to open the basement door himself. How frightening it would be.
What if there was a female ghost behind the door when they opened it?
Su Lin thought this, and the subordinates accompanying him shared the same sentiment. They were unwilling to open the door, pushing each other to go first.
"Why did I pay you guys like this? Go open the door!" Su Lin commanded.
Under such circumstances, the subordinates reluctantly approached the basement, discovering the door was locked from the outside, but there was no key.
"Special Assistant, how can we open it without a key?" the subordinate asked.
"No key, so you won’t open it?"
"We don’t like violence."
"Pry it open for me!"
"Oh..."
Su Lin felt nothing but exhaustion, watching as his subordinates went to find a wrench or something and returned to pry open the door.
As soon as the door was pried open, they saw something collapsed behind it...
It really was a freaking female ghost!
Su Lin frowned and stepped back two paces, "Who... who are you?"
The woman on the ground slowly lifted her head. Two days of hunger had left her haggard, and the basement’s filthy environment made her dress dirty, unrecognizable as the once glamorous Shen Ruozhuo.
"Save me..." Shen Ruozhuo extended her hand for help, feeling her life illuminated for the first time upon seeing the light.
She thought she was going to die in this basement, her corpse beginning to rot without anyone ever noticing.
Just as she was about to give up, someone finally arrived.
No matter who it was, they were like a beacon of hope to Shen Ruozhuo at that moment.
Seeing Shen Ruozhuo desperately seeking rescue on the ground, Su Lin surprisingly felt a pang of compassion for a brief second. He knew such a person did not deserve sympathy, but... perhaps people that beautiful are always worthy of forgiveness...
"Take her to the hospital," Su Lin ordered with a slight furrow of his brow, instructing his men to transport Shen Ruozhuo to the hospital.
"No..." Shen Ruozhuo shook her head, "Don’t take me to the hospital..."
"If not to the hospital, where do you want to go? Do you still want to stay here?"
"Take me... home."
Shen Ruozhuo did not want outsiders to see her in such a state, how humiliating it would be.
She had already become a joke among South City People and did not want this incident to push her further into the limelight.
Having gone through so much, she learned how to restrain herself.
"Alright." Seeing Shen Ruozhuo’s insistence, Su Lin agreed, after all, it was Shen Ruozhuo’s life, and what did it have to do with him?
Later, Su Lin and his men escorted Shen Ruozhuo back to her own home, but Su Lin thought he couldn’t just leave her there. What was the difference from being locked in the basement?
So, Su Lin called a doctor for Shen Ruozhuo and contacted the number for the servant posted on the refrigerator.
After completing all these tasks, only then did Su Lin leave.
As Su Lin did these things, Shen Ruozhuo was watching the whole time.
