The car came to a slow stop.
As I looked at the building in front of me, the panic inside me swelled to its peak.
For some reason, even though it was my first time here, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with this building.
Hmm...
This feeling was exactly the same as when I last visited Happy KTV!
The scene before me seemed to have appeared in a nightmare from long ago.
I couldn't recall what exactly I had dreamed about, but everything around me felt both strange and familiar, filling me with fear.
The environment of this place made me feel a deep-seated resistance and unease.
Thinking back to the last time I felt this way...
It wasn't long after that night when I was harassed by a drunken man, nearly costing me my life!
My heart raced with increasing anxiety.
My palms were clammy with sweat.
At that moment, Xinchuan had already gotten out of the car and was walking towards me.
"Anan, get out of the car. We..."
"I absolutely will not go in with you!"
Xinchuan had just opened the car door for me, trying to pull me out.
I never expected it. I suddenly pushed him away and ran desperately toward the roadside with all my strength!
This time, I absolutely could not repeat the same mistake!
I had to get out of here; otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Seeing me take off, Xinchuan immediately chased after me.
With his longer legs, he was gaining on me quickly...
As I noticed the distance between us shrinking, my fear intensified. I couldn't think of anything else and shouted at the top of my lungs—
"Help! There's a murderer! Is anyone there... ugh!!!"
Unfortunately.
Just as I had shouted halfway, Xinchuan caught up to me.
He grabbed me with one hand and quickly covered my mouth with the other, stifling my terrified cries in his palm.
"Mmm!!! Mmm mmm!!!"
"Anan, don’t do this! I won’t hurt you!"
Seeing me struggle desperately to escape his grip, Xinchuan frowned, looking utterly helpless.
At that moment, quite a few people around had heard my earlier screams and were curiously looking our way.
However, those people merely watched from a distance, showing no intention of coming over to help me.
Seeing such a cold-hearted crowd made me feel even more desperate and helpless, tears of fear streaming down my cheeks.
"Anan, please don't cry..."
My tears fell into Xinchuan's fingers, instantly causing him to panic.
He quickly released his grip on my mouth but still held tightly onto my wrist, afraid I would break free and escape.
Seeing another opportunity, I opened my mouth to continue pleading for help.
But Xinchuan interrupted me first, "Anan, can you please stop this? Do you really think I would harm you?!"
"What else could it be?!" Hearing his words, I shouted back without thinking, "Xinchuan! What do you really want by forcing me to come here?! Either you explain everything clearly right now, or I’ll call the police and report you for attempted murder!"
"How could I possibly..."
Seeing my emotional outburst and that I was even considering calling the police, Xinchuan furrowed his brows in helplessness.
He sighed deeply and looked at me seriously, "Anan, I brought you here for your own good! Why can't you just trust me this once?! We've been together for so long; why do you think I would harm you?!"
"For my own good?! Xinchuan, don’t you find that funny when you say it yourself???"
"I know you can't understand right now, but I've promised to explain everything as long as you come upstairs with me. We are married; can’t you give me just a little bit of trust?"
"How am I supposed to trust you? It's been so long since this all started."
"Every time I ask you something, you avoid answering! You know we’re married, but why are there so many terrifying secrets between us?!"
"Xinchuan, it's not that I don't want to trust you; I've given you countless chances to explain! If you're truly innocent, then tell me now—what secret have you been hiding from me all this time?!"
I shouted at Xinchuan in despair, my voice hoarse with emotion.
Faced with my ultimatum, Xinchuan weakly released his grip once again and chose silence yet again.
Looking at his silent demeanor, I couldn't help but feel a sense of irony.
I let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "See? I knew it would be like this."
Before I finished speaking, I turned on my heel and walked away without hesitation.
If I had known it would end up the same way, I really shouldn't have wasted my time having this meal with him, I thought.
However, just as I was about to walk out of Xinchuan's sight, he suddenly rushed after me.
"Anan, no matter what... you can't go looking for Chen Qiqi," he said, grabbing my arm.
I angrily shook off his hand and shouted at him, "Why not?!"
"Because..."
Xinchuan hesitated.
After a long pause, just when my patience was about to run out, he finally managed to utter a few words—
"Because she is already dead!"
