“You don’t have to worry about me,” Mei Shu smiled and said, “Don’t worry, he won’t blame me for this. Alright, I’ll be on my way. If someone sees me here, it could cause trouble. After I leave, call the emergency center as 1 told you.”

“But…” Lin He was about to say more, but Mei Shu had already let go of her hand and walked away.

Her heart was pounding in her chest.

Lin He held her phone, trembling all over to the point where she could barely stand, and she sat down beside the man.

Her skirt quickly became soaked with the sticky substance on the floor.

Lin He lowered her head and saw that Mr. Wang’s blood had already soaked a large portion of the carpet.

Could it be that this man had died?

Lin He panicked, quickly extending her fingers to test his breath.

When she felt a faint flow of air on her fingertips, she breathed a sigh of relief. She checked the time and followed Mei Shu’s instructions, diAh Ling the hospital’s emergency number.

When the manager arrived, Mr. Wang had already been loaded onto an ambulance.

Afraid that something major had happened in his club, the manager quickly called Mr. Wang’s wife and then grabbed Lin He’s wrist, asking, “Were you with Mr. Wang?”

“Yes,” Lin He answered timidly.

The manager took a deep breath and asked, “What exactly happened just now?

I need you to tell me everything.”

Lin He hesitated but ultimately obeyed Mei Shu’s instructions, providing the manager with a detailed account of everything she had heard in the restroom.

She had just arrived in Lin City, and she didn’t know anyone here.

She had never heard of the Lu family’s name.

However, as soon as the manager heard that surname, his face changed, and the leg he had just raised to step onto the ambulance was pulled back. “You, go with Mr. Wang to the hospital.”

“Aren’t you going?” Lin He was confused. The manager had seemed very concerned just a moment ago, so why was he suddenly so composed?

“I can’t leave the club. You go on your own. If there’s anything, you can contact me by phone,” the manager said impatiently, handing Lin He his business card and walking away without looking back.

Behind her, Mr. Wang had been placed on the stretcher and was being loaded into the ambulance.

The medical staff urged, “Who is the patient’s family member? Someone must get in the vehicle with him!”

“Oh, I’m coming!” Lin He quickly agreed and then struggled to climb into the ambulance.

Once AAr. Wang was delivered to the hospital, he was taken into the operating room.

Lin He, on the other hand, was directed to go to the payment counter on the ground floor.

She didn’t have much money on her, as her finances were managed by Zhou Nan. At the moment, she couldn’t afford the surgical fees. She could only take out the manager’s business card and called him.

The manager asked for her bank account number and promptly transferred the required amount, instructing her to tell Mr. Wang later that he had advanced the medical expenses.

Lin He assumed that the other party wanted Mr. Wang to repay the debt, so she agreed.

When she finished the paperwork and returned to the area outside the emergency room, she noticed a woman sitting in the hospital corridor, crying.

The moment she saw Lin He, the woman charged over and slapped her.

“You shameless slut, if it weren’t for you seducing my husband, how could he have been beaten like this! If anything happens to my husband, 1 won’t let you off the hook!”

Lin He was stunned by the slap, her eyes quickly welling up with tears of grievance.

“But… I’m also a victim…”

The woman spat on the ground in disgust. “You dare to call yourself a victim, you sl*tty b*tch! When you crawled into my husband’s bed, why didn’t you call yourself a victim? Now that something has happened to him, you’re pretending to be pitiful here. Bah!”

“I really didn’t…” Lin He covered her burning cheek and handed the woman the paperwork. “Never mind. Since I’m in the way here, I’ll leave first.”

“You stay right there!” The woman was furious, stomping her feet, and crumpling the papers in her hand.

But Lin He ran without looking back, and when she stepped out of the elevator, she collided with a slim figure.

The person grabbed her hand and dragged her into a quiet alley outside the hospital, patiently waiting for her to catch her breath before saying, “Next time you encounter something like this, remember to fight back. Since you won’t extort money, it’s better to fight back and enjoy it.”

“Did you follow me here?” Lin He looked around nervously, finally summoning the courage to hold Mei Shu’s hand. “I’ll escort you home. It’s too dangerous here.”

“It’s okay; I won’t go back just yet.” Mei Shu raised her hand and caressed Lin He’s cheek. “I have something to ask you.”

“What is it?” Lin He’s heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

Mei Shu smiled and said, “No need to be so nervous. 1 just want to know, if your husband forces you to accompany other men again after you go back, what will you do?”

Lin He was also terrified of this possibility.

Her voice quivered as she replied, “I… 1 don’t want to… I don’t want to be with those men.”

“Why?” Mei Shu squinted her eyes, coaxing her to reveal her most genuine thoughts.. “Why don’t you want to?”
