Chapter 137: Chapter 126: Losing Voice

The woman lying on the bed sat up and dragged her steps to the door, knocking on it.

After a few seconds, the policewoman came over to inquire about the situation.

"Wen Xinian, why does your stomach hurt every day? I’ll accompany you to the infirmary later." The policewoman opened the door, checking the situation inside, especially glaring at Tang Xi, who was cornered, and harshly said, "Hey, what are you doing! Weng Yan, Xu Yue, if you keep causing trouble, forget about going out the day after tomorrow!"

Weng Yan glanced disdainfully and said, "No trouble, just joking with a new friend."

As she spoke, she let go and straightened Tang Xi’s collar, "Right, just a joke between us."

Tang Xi ignored her and walked to the door to look at the policewoman, "Am I going to jail? Did they sue me? How long will I serve? When is the trial?"

The policewoman did not expect that this seemingly gentle and frail woman would be so calmly indifferent. Being in this place, she had seen many troublemakers, but few accepted their fate as calmly as Tang Xi...

"I’m not sure about the specifics. If the victim sues, I’ll get the notification and take you for interrogation." After speaking, the policewoman glanced at the woman standing beside Tang Xi, "Wen Xinian, let’s go, I’ll take you to the restroom. Hurry up."

Now there were only three people left in the cell, and Tang Xi sat on her own bed.

The juvenile delinquent Weng Yan came over and kicked the foot of the bed, "I have ways to deal with you! Just you wait!"

Evening came, and it was time for communal washing.

Tang Xi glanced at the woman called Wen Xinian, whose facial features were exquisite, a face that stood out. Even here without makeup, she still attracted attention, looking about 25 or 26 years old, with her hair tied back, seemingly unmoved by her situation, as if on vacation.

Even Weng Yan was somewhat intimidated by her.

Tang Xi quietly said a word, "Thank you."

Wen Xinian looked at her, "No thanks needed, just lending a hand."

She hadn’t meant to help Tang Xi, it was just that she couldn’t stand by... and also happened to have a stomachache.

"You don’t need to mind Weng Yan, just a juvenile delinquent, she just likes to talk big usually, bragging about how her friend’s uncle is some police chief, let her fantasize. If she had such powerful connections, would she still be locked up here? She’s a senior in high school who got into a fight with some societal elements outside school and ended up here."

Weng Yan came over, "What are you saying? Wen Xinian, you’re shielding this mistress, aren’t you? It’s clear she’s just a habitual mistress, she deserves to be locked up here. It’s only right for me to teach her a lesson. Mistresses like her deserve to be detested, and you’re actually helping her?"

Wen Xinian raised an eyebrow, "I don’t stoop to the level of a delinquent."

Weng Yan gritted her teeth, "It seems you’re really looking to oppose me! Oh, I forgot, you’re also shameless, seducing men with girlfriends to be a mistress. You and Tang Xi are just alike, both disgusting!"

Saying this, she spat on the floor.

Wen Xinian’s expression changed in an instant, her beautiful eyes carrying a chill as she swiftly stepped forward and easily pinned Weng Yan’s hands, "Since you’re lacking discipline, I’ll teach you on behalf of your parents!"

Weng Yan was no match for Wen Xinian, and Tang Xi realized for the first time that some girls can be so agile with their hands.

"What are you doing!! Is there no discipline at all, do you all want to be disciplined?" The policewoman entered the room.

Seeing the situation inside, before Weng Yan could speak, the policewoman asked Tang Xi, "What happened, you tell me."

Tang Xi spoke softly with an indifferent air, "Just a small joke among friends."

Wen Xinian glanced at her, then with a smile said, "Yeah, Weng Yan and I were just joking, sister policewoman, don’t be mad."

Weng Yan trembled with rage, but didn’t dare to retort.

After the policewoman left, Weng Yan watched Tang Xi with gritted teeth, thinking of how she’ll handle her once she falls asleep tonight!

Wen Xinian said to Tang Xi, "Thanks for covering for me."

Tang Xi smiled faintly, "You shouldn’t have been impulsive."

"Can’t stand that delinquent acting tough here, at an age that should be blooming like a flower in school, and yet she feels glorified being locked up?"

Maybe out of boredom, Tang Xi asked, "What about you, why are you locked up here?"

Wen Xinian pursed her lips, a complex emotion crossing her beautiful face, "If I say I took the blame for someone else, would you believe me?"

Wen Xinian herself thought it was laughable, she had only known Tang Xi for a few days, but Tang Xi possessed a peaceful and gentle strength that calmed her down.

Tang Xi nodded.

Wen Xinian’s eyes widened slightly, "You believe me?"

Tang Xi nodded again, "Yes, intuition. My intuition tells me you’re not that kind of person."

Wen Xinian’s beautiful eyes sparkled with amusement, "What about you, why?"

"Me... that’s a long story." Tang Xi’s chest filled with bitterness, "I’m not a mistress, it’s just that he doesn’t love me, that’s all..."

Tang Xi knew she shouldn’t have fallen for someone she couldn’t love.

She didn’t know how much longer she would have to be locked up here.

Given Su Mengshu’s character, she might have the trial started soon and then arrange for someone to be charged with the crime of intentional injury, fearing that she wouldn’t be out for several years.

To say she was not anxious would be untrue.

But at this moment, Tang Xi was filled with a sense of powerlessness.

To be in a predicament was nothing less than this.

-

At night, Tang Xi was awoken by the heat.

She was already a light sleeper and found it even harder to sleep after becoming pregnant.

It was now July, during the height of the heat, Tang Xi opened her eyes and propped herself up on her arms, trying to sit up.

In the pitch-blackness, suddenly, she heard footsteps.

Tang Xi initially thought that someone else in the cell had an issue.

Suddenly she felt a shadow standing beside her bed.

Tang Xi was surprised for a moment, but before she could react,

Suddenly—

A hand covered her mouth.

Something sharp entered her throat.

Intense pain assaulted her—

Tang Xi struggled, but the assailant was very strong.

"Mmm mmm mmm—"

It was dark and she couldn’t see who it was, but she could only feel their considerable strength, as if it was a premeditated revenge. She struggled desperately, with all her might, the scorching pain in her throat made her tremble and her ears ring.

One hand was covering Tang Xi’s mouth, and the other was gripping her throat tightly. "Don’t blame me, blame yourself for offending someone you shouldn’t have!"

Tang Xi’s brows quivered.

That voice, it was Weng Yan!

At this moment.

"Who?" Wen Xinian was woken up by the noise.

And Weng Yan, released Tang Xi.

Tang Xi clutched her throat, her mouth agape, the burning pain in her throat whitened her vision, and she passed out.

Wen Xinian shouted anxiously, "Tang Xi! Tang Xi!!"

-

When Tang Xi woke up again, she found herself in a hospital room.

Supporting herself with her arms, she sat up and raised her hand to touch her neck.

Was it a dream?

She looked up in a daze and saw the door to the room open, and a policewoman walked in.

The policewoman sighed in relief upon seeing Tang Xi awake, "It’s good that you’re alright. Why didn’t you mention earlier that you were pregnant? The doctors didn’t dare give you antibiotics or painkillers. How are you feeling now?"

Tang Xi opened her mouth, only to discover she couldn’t utter a single word.

Her throat was in excruciating pain, as if she was struggling to cough up blood.

She stared wide-eyed at the policewoman.

Clenching tightly onto the policewoman’s wrist.

What’s wrong with me?

Why can’t I speak!!
