Chapter 192: She Is Protected
Chapter 192 She is Protected
At that time, Huaiyu thought that everything that had happened last night was just a dream, so she didn’t take it seriously.
However, when she checked the box, she found that the antique vase she had snatched from Mengyu was gone.
She clearly remembered that she had wrapped the vase in newspaper layer upon layer before putting it in the box.
But now, everything else was in the box, only the vase was missing.
She immediately knew that last night’s incident was not a dream and called the police right away.
After the police arrived, Huaiyu told them about what happened last night and the disappearance of the antique vase.
However, after inspecting the hotel room, the police told her that no one else had been in the room.
What depressed her most was that she was clearly beaten to an inch of her life the previous night, yet when she got up in the morning, there was not a single mark on her body.
The police concluded that Huaiyu must have had a nightmare.
Huaiyu also suspected that she had a nightmare, but the disappearance of the antique vase was a mystery, making her feel fearful.
Moreover, although there were no marks on her body, she always felt discomfort within, as if there was a constant, faint pain everywhere.
She went to the hospital but they could not find any issues.
Now, hearing Mengyu ask her if her body was still feeling normal, she immediately thought about that night and the discomfort she had been feeling recently!
She quickly grabbed Mengyu’s clothes: "Is it you, isn’t it? Was it you that night? Give me back the vase now!"
Naturally, Mengyu knew which night she was referring to.
But she played dumb: "What is me? Which night? Also, what vase, are you talking about the vase I picked up while scavenging? Wasn’t that vase taken by you?"
It seemed she remembered something: "Right, you didn’t mention, I had almost forgotten, my vase is an antique, worth over a million, give it back to me."
"You—" Seeing Mengyu like this, Huaiyu was no longer sure.
But she still stared into Mengyu’s eyes and said: "That night in B city, when you caused a disturbance at the university making it impossible for me to study, I stayed at the youth hostel. You entered my room, touched me a few times, rendering me unable to speak, unable to move, and then you beat me, bruised me all over, I nearly died."
Mengyu widened her eyes, pointing at Huaiyu: "I beat you? And injured you all over? But—"
She pretended to look down and count her fingers: "That’s not right, it’s only been about ten days since you left the university campus, hasn’t it? In such a short time, not to mention if your injuries have healed or not, at least there should be some scars, right? Do you have any?"
The most eerie part for Huaiyu was exactly that: when she woke up the next day, not only were there no injuries, there were not even any scars!
Huaiyu closed her eyes and then reopened them, having calmed down.
"What was it you just said, that you wanted to teach me a lesson?"
Mengyu raised her eyebrows and said, "Yes, I did say just now that if you can’t keep your mouth in check and stop spewing nonsense, I will teach you what a lesson is."
She leaned in close to Huaiyu’s ear again: "Let me tell you, I am protected, and if you dare to mess with me, you will surely receive severe punishment!"
Upon hearing her words, Jiang Huaiyu’s heart leaped again, she is protected, what does that mean?
Could it be that there was someone behind her all along?
In the past, this Mengyu was clearly just a servant in her family, someone she could trample underfoot and treat however she wanted.
But ever since she escaped from the human trafficker and returned, the whole power dynamics had changed.
