Chapter 369: 369, Thrilling, Game within a Game
Lu Meiyan was so terrified that she shuddered, her face pale, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She said cautiously, “Song Ci, you’ve been deceived by your sister. She’s heartless. She really does have money. Her brother left her a large sum when he left. She just doesn’t want to help us. Don’t believe me? Look…”
She took out her phone and showed it to Song Ci, “Look at this. She sent us this message. She has the money but wouldn’t help us!”
Reading the message, Song Ci’s eyes flashed with immense pain. The heartless words were like a dagger, penetrating deep into his chest, piercing his heart and his sight.
He couldn’t believe that this message was sent by Song Qinghuan, but it was indeed her number.
Lu Meiyan added fuel to the fire, “Song Ci, Qinghuan is really heartless, she doesn’t care about me or your dad. You should call her and ask her to come home. Don’t say that you want to borrow money, she won’t lend it. You must say that her brother is at our house, she’ll come immediately, and then we’ll ask her to lend us money. Ok?”
Song Ci hesitated, showing no intention of making the call.
Upon exchanging a glance, Lu Meiyan quickly switched her tactics. She started hitting Song Qiliang while crying and blaming him, “You stupid man! It’s all your fault. Oh, my Xiaotao is about to be taken away. What should I do?”
While she continued her tirade, she hit Song Qiliang who cried out in pain, “Song Ci, save your dad, Song Ci.”
Driven to madness by their antics, Song Ci roared out commandingly, “All of you shut up!”
Immediately, Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang dared not cry or make noise anymore.
She held her breath, quietly observing Song Ci. Seeing him reach for his phone to call Song Qinghuan, she exchanged a glance with Song Qiliang. A sinister light gleamed in their eyes.
Not long after Shi Yuhuan had left, Song Qinghuan was woken up by a phone call.
She fumbled for her phone in a daze, and seeing that it was Song Ci who had rung, she answered the call, lazily greeting, “Hello”.
“Sis…” The voice of Song Ci on the other end of the phone line trembled with nervousness.
Song Qinghuan, who hadn’t fully woken up yet, sensed nothing amiss and nonchalantly responded, “Hmm”, followed by, “What’s the matter?”
After a pause, Song Ci’s voice came again, “Sis, your brother has come to our house…”
Her eyes widened abruptly. Song Qinghuan’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, “What did you say?”
Song Ci said softly, “Your brother is here at our house, but he fainted after uttering a few words. He still has a pulse and is breathing, but he’s very weak.”
Song Qinghuan immediately threw off the blanket and jumped off her bed, “Then quickly make a call and send my brother to the hospital.”
Song Ci said, “We can’t. Just before he fainted, he said he can’t be taken to the hospital, and that he needed you to come home immediately. He has something important to tell you.”
Her brother was still involved in the case, and going to the hospital would mean exposure. Both the police and the criminals would then come after him – even more dangerous situation. Hence, indeed, they shouldn’t rashly send him to the hospital.
“I’ll be right there!” Channeling her urgency, Song Qinghuan hung up and swiftly got dressed.
If it was Lu Meiyan and Song Qiliang, calling to say that her brother had gone to the Song Family, she wouldn’t have believed it.
But the call was made by Song Ci. The only person in the Song family who treated her well, Song Ci. Moreover, it was about her coveted older brother. She didn’t doubt it at all.
After hanging up the call, Song Ci suddenly sensed an odd smell.
He stood up, but his vision was blurred. He pressed his temples instinctively, but the dizziness only worsened.
As the world swirled around him, he suddenly understood something. His eyes widened, and he glared at Song Qiliang and Lu Meiyan with a penetrating gaze. They were laughing manically, looking completely triumphant.
Just then, the door to Xiaotao’s bedroom was opened, and a tall and imposing man stepped out.
Dizzy and disoriented, Song Ci couldn’t make out the man’s face. Just before he closed his eyes, he spotted on the man’s hand a lot of dark spots, it seemed he was also missing a finger, there were only four…
