Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Song Baiyan Is the Only Person She Trusts

Song Baiyan received Tang Li’s phone call at half past seven in the evening.

About half an hour later, a black sedan stopped at the mouth of an alley in the suburbs.

Ji Ming and another bodyguard got out of the car, and not long after, the bodyguard carried Yu Sui into the car, with Tang Li following behind Ji Ming. The bodyguard was driving, and Tang Li accompanied Yu Sui in the back seat.

The sedan arrived at Yunqi Villa, and the wrought iron gate opened.

Outside the main building, medical staff were waiting.

Watching the medical team carry Yu Sui away from the car, Tang Li subconsciously followed.

She had just reached the entrance of the main building when her arm was pulled.

Turning her head, she found it was Song Baiyan.

"A fall?" Concern was evident in his eyes.

In fact, Song Baiyan had been outside the door all along, but Tang Li’s mind was adrift, her eyes fixed on the medical team, so she hadn’t noticed his presence.

Song Baiyan had his left hand in his pocket, and his other hand holding her forearm. The man stood quietly beside a pillar of the porch, under the warm yellow light, whether it was his white shirt and black sweater, or his upright figure, they all drew Tang Li’s wandering thoughts back into their place.

"Scared silly by this little incident?" The man’s voice was deep and comforting.

Tang Li didn’t answer but said instead: "Yu Sui might have been injected with drugs."

Even though she had already mentioned Yu Sui’s condition over the phone, seeing Song Baiyan in person, she couldn’t help but repeat it.

Perhaps, because he is the only person in this world she truly trusts.

After experiencing those incidents in her past life, and after Tang Yin’s death in this life, she couldn’t easily trust the people around her anymore, with the exception of Song Baiyan.

When faced with danger, she had Yu Sui call the police claiming she was a relative of Ji Ming, and when Yu Sui was injected with drugs, Tang Li also called Song Baiyan first, not Lai Wenyan.

In her heart, Song Baiyan’s significance had long surpassed others.

Tang Li herself wasn’t faring much better.

When she went to find Yu Sui, her vision was blurry and doubled, causing her to trip several times on the road.

Her face wasn’t disfigured, but her arm was scraped.

Seeing her in such a disheveled state, Song Baiyan decisively said: "Your classmate the doctor will handle the rescue, now let’s take care of your injuries."

Saying so, he intended to take her to the living room.

But Tang Li didn’t move: "I want to go see Yu Sui first, I’m not at ease."

Her voice was a bit hoarse, and worry showed on her face.

For the first time, Song Baiyan saw her express such concern for someone on her face.

Since their reunion, aside from when with him, Tang Li was mostly obedient and sensible most of the time. Now hearing her speak like this, with her tone carrying a plea, Song Baiyan’s expression softened; there was no reason not to comply with her request.

Yu Sui was being treated in a conference room on the first floor.

Ji Ming stood guard at the door and briefly updated Song Baiyan and Tang Li upon their arrival.

"Doctor Liang came out a while ago; he confirmed that it’s indeed drugs."

—The concentration of the drugs was quite high.

Drugs are strictly cracked down on in Country S, and normally, drugs within the country shouldn’t exceed a 20% concentration.

"Doctor Liang speculates that it might be the No. 4 Skull Version or No.5 Cat brought back from the Mihesha River, diluted and then injected into the body, but it’s not clear which one it is at the moment."

Tang Li, having lived by the Mihesha River bank for many years, had some understanding of drugs.

If the concentration of the drugs was high, injecting it directly into the veins without dilution could kill a person on the spot.

That injection was meant for her.

Due to a twist of fate, Yu Sui took the hit for her.
