Su Ding made no move to dodge, sitting quietly before the tombstone.
She let the rain engulf her, her expression on her face distant, her eyes having lost their light.
Why did Heaven treat her this way?
Her mother, the only person in the world who loved her, was killed by her father in league with his mistress; Xiao Rui, the hope of her life, was also killed by Shao Lin; even the only man she had ever fallen for had a child with Shao Lin.
Did she, Su Ding, not deserve to live?
Shao Zhenggang, Wang Meilan, Shao Lin…
Even if I go to hell, I will drag you all down with me!
At this moment, a staff member's voice came from behind, "Hello, miss, do you need any help?"
Su Ding slowly turned her head, her face deathly pale, appearing like a ghost in the rain.
She paused for a moment, then slowly stood up and turned to leave.
The sky had gradually darkened, and the rain was slowly stopping. The phone in her pocket buzzed incessantly.
Su Ding took out her phone and saw it was Jin Ye calling. Her finger hesitated on the answer button for a long time before she finally pressed hang up.
She could not indulge in love; she needed to get revenge.
She hailed a taxi and walked to the side of the road to wait, her body drenched and feeling very cold as the wind blew.
The area near the cemetery was sparsely populated, and no drivers accepted the fare for a long time.
Suddenly, she saw two men in black at the corner ahead chasing a man in a suit. The man in the suit was running in her direction.
Those two men in black were each holding an iron bar.
The man in the suit ran with unsteady steps. The rainy ground was slippery, and he almost fell, leaving behind mottled bloodstains.
He was injured.
Su Ding watched him indifferently, with no intention of helping.
Until the man in the suit looked up, she was slightly startled. She seemed to have seen this person somewhere before.
The man in the suit recognized her, and a flicker of confusion crossed his eyes, but he did not call out to her and hurried forward.
At this moment, Su Ding recognized him.
It was Lan Shi, the man who had brought flowers to her at the film set last time.
Seeing the men in black rushing closer, Su Ding, without thinking, grabbed her bag and swung it at the face of the leading man in black.
The leading man in black felt a burning pain on his face as the bag hit him.
He swung his iron bar at Su Ding, who deftly dodged it and swung her bag again, aiming for his head!
The strap of her bag was a metal chain, studded with rivets.
The impact of the weight on flesh was truly painful. The man in black's face was scratched and bleeding, and his mind was somewhat dazed.
"Damn you, minding other people's business!"
The man in black lunged forward, and the other also moved to grab Su Ding.
Su Ding swiftly retreated a step. As the man in black raised his bar, she accurately grabbed it!
With a sideways turn, she avoided the other man's bar.
Seizing the opportunity, she lifted her foot and kicked the leading man in black in the abdomen. Her heeled shoe sent him staggering back several steps.
Su Ding used the momentum to snatch the bar and swiftly swept it towards the other man in black.
The man in black cried out in pain and fell to the ground.
The bar in his hand also fell with a crisp metallic clatter…
Just as he prepared to pick it up, another heavy blow landed on his wrist, causing him such piercing pain that he almost shed tears!
Lan Shi, who had been fleeing ahead, heard the commotion and braked sharply, nearly stumbling.
He turned back and saw the petite woman, drenched and all, taking down two strong men with extremely fierce and decisive moves!
That scene was not from a television drama; it was happening in reality.
He stared, his mouth agape, his eyes wide, watching from afar…
After subduing the two men, Su Ding beckoned him over.
Lan Shi felt a bit awkward now, limping as he walked over with his injured leg.
"Call the police," Su Ding said calmly, dropping the iron bar to the ground.
Lan Shi nodded and dialed the emergency number.
The police asked them to accompany them to the station to give their statements, and Su Ding had no choice but to go along.
Upon reaching the city, Lan Shi made a phone call. The police were understanding and drove them directly to the hospital, allowing them to disembark first.
"Thanks for today. Let's go in for a check-up together," Lan Shi suggested.
"No need. I'm heading back now. Goodbye."
Su Ding gave him a slight nod and turned to leave, her departure graceful.
Lan Shi watched her slender retreating figure, feeling a pang of sadness.
This woman seemed to wear "I am invincible" on her face, yet she exuded an aura of sorrow.
Recalling her status as his future sister-in-law, Lan Shi immediately called Jin Ye.
"Hello?" Jin Ye's voice on the other end sounded full of displeasure.
"Did you and your sister-in-law argue? She seems very unhappy today," Lan Shi asked.
Jin Ye's expression changed. "You saw her?"
Lan Shi, mistaking his reaction for confirmation, immediately said, "Yes, she even saved my life today. I've definitely accepted this sister-in-law. Go and comfort her quickly."
"Where is she?" Jin Ye had no time for further questions; he had been frantically looking for Su Ding.
If he had known he couldn't contact her for half a day, he wouldn't have let her leave his side.
She didn't answer his calls, nor his messages. He hadn't found her at home, and Xiao Yuan didn't know where she had gone.
He was truly afraid she might do something rash…
"She should have gone home. She just left," Lan Shi sounded a little bewildered.
"Drip, drip, drip…"
Jin Ye hung up the phone directly and got up to leave.
Behind him, Jin Xiaoxi followed. "Dad, has Aunt Su Ding gotten into trouble?"
Seeing his father's state today, he felt that something might have gone wrong, and now he saw him rushing out.
Jin Ye glanced at his son, thinking that he was his child with Shao Lin, which made it even harder to accept.
Su Ding hated Shao Lin to the bone. Under these circumstances, she might lash out at Xiaoxi.
It was better not to let him go.
"It's nothing. You stay home and keep Grandma company."
After speaking, Jin Ye went downstairs to get his car and sped towards Su Ding's home.
As he arrived at the entrance of Su Ding's apartment, he saw the petite woman walking slowly into the apartment building.
"Su Ding!"
Under the streetlights, Su Ding was drenched, her face pale, her vacant eyes staring at him.
Jin Ye rushed forward and pulled her into a tight embrace!
This was the person he had decided on, and he would never allow her to become like this again…
