Revenge Sevenfold

Chapter 165 Pink Hair?!



"Why did you agree to his demands?" Hui Yin asked, trying to sound calm. The words 'kill you along with Mr. Lu' had greatly shaken her. "Lu Shen could also do what he promised you. And if you kill Lu Shen, you'll be a suspect by the time the media agencies get here. The Lus will never let you go."


He chuckled dryly at her question. This girl was too naive.


"He said he has a contingency plan for that. He'll make it look as if I was protecting Mr. Lu from an assassination attempt instead. And he has..." Party Secretary Lee closed his eyes, looking as if he had suddenly aged a couple of years in that one second, "He has my six-year old daughter."


Hui Yin didn't know what to say. This culprit was too evil. How could she know somebody like that? She tried to remember an acquaintance or someone she knew who could be evil enough to use a child as a hostage, but drew a solid blank.


Even Nian Zhen, whom she hated more than anyone, would not be daring enough to do those things. In fact, aside from pushing her into an incoming car in her previous life and killing her unborn child, the rest that Nian Zhen did to Hui Yin could be considered as trivial.


"You really didn't see his face?" Hui Yin asked after a while. "Any hints would do. Please."


Party Secretary Lee shook his head.


"That man was too cautious. He spoke to me through a video call and made me watch my daughter cry her eyes out to coerce me. He even modified his voice. I did think..." He hesitated, but at Hui Yin's encouraging nod, he continued, "Just that...when the light slightly shifted, I thought...it looked like he had pink hair."


Hui Yin choked.


"P—Pink hair?!"


What kind of evil man had pink hair, ah? Maybe this culprit was bent? In her heart, Hui Yin became even more wary of Lu Shen's enemy.


This culprit was too unpredictable. Even if Hui Yin had met him on the street, due to his pink hair, she would probably never imagine that kind of man would be capable of kidnapping a six-year old child. He was used to hiding himself in the dark, but his hair...isn't his hair a bit too glamorous? How could he scare his enemies when the top of his head looked like cotton candy?


Except for the culprit's suspected 'pink hair', Hui Yin didn't get any more useful information from the Party Secretary. After that, she didn't get any more chances to talk to him because the villagers who heard the gunshots immediately rushed into the room. The gravity of the situation forced the village chief to call an ambulance from a nearby hospital, which arrived after two and a half hours.


Because Lu Shen also had a bullet wound in his shoulder, Hui Yin came with him as his 'closest relative'. Too many people were injured, thus only one person could accompany them.


Hui Yin was chosen because once the paramedics had learned that the other injured patient was Lu Shen, they didn't dare to kick his friend out in case they receive the man's anger after waking up. They even called their hospital in advance to prepare their best surgeon and their best medical ward.


The ambulance drove over the speed limit, but the village was far too isolated that they still have to drive for more than two hours to arrive at the nearest hospital. Two paramedics stripped off Lu Shen's shirt and hooked him to an IV, while the other two took care of the other patients.


Hui Yin watched them move around while she sat on the bench, her eyes heavy. One of the paramedics saw that she had a cut on her forehead and was considerate enough to bandage it for her. She even gave Hui Yin a blanket.


Hui Yin smiled at her. "Thank you."


She knew that part of the paramedic's kindness was because she was Lu Shen's friend, but that didn't matter to her as the blanket felt warm. She cocooned herself inside it and not long after, between the bumps on the road and the steady chatter of the paramedics, Hui Yin finally fell asleep.
