“Lin Xue, Lin Xue! Wake up, wake up!”
There were lights, blinding lights, and many people around… Lin Xue felt as if she was being carried, surrounded by a cacophony of noise…
The incident of Lin Xue fainting in the bathroom was explained away as a simple accident—she had slipped and hit her head on a pipe, resulting in her fainting. But Lin Xue knew deep down that this was just the beginning of something bizarre.
The situation had escalated to the point of a public attack. Yunsu felt that this matter was extremely serious. She decided to confront Lin Xue directly, determined to make her answer why it was her and not someone else who had encountered this ordeal.
The three of them sat around the table, their demeanor resembling that of a military meeting.
San Zhua was filled with confusion, unable to grasp Yunsu's intentions. She occasionally stole glances at the newspaper Yunsu had placed on the table.
On any other day, she would have likely shouted out by now, but today, the three of them were as quiet as dew frozen in the morning light, silent and still.
A headline on the newspaper caught their attention: “Girl Mistakenly Kidnapped and Nearly Lost Her Life; Arrogant Criminal Shot Dead on the Spot.”
“That Long-Haired Girl is from the 2006 Food Science Department; her name is Le Xue. Coincidentally, she also used to live in Room 304. Perhaps that’s one of the reasons,” Yunsu broke the silence first, initiating the conversation.
“One of the reasons?” Lin Xue stared at the newspaper, a wave of unease washing over her.
“And what’s reason number two? Does it relate to the newspaper?” San Zhua asked cautiously.
“Rain…” Yunsu took Lin Xue's hand, hesitating slightly.
"I know this is extremely painful for you, and speaking it out loud is undoubtedly a cruel act. However, now that we are at this point, we must find the reason in order to resolve the issue."
In an instant, a roar filled her ears, like the rushing waters of Niagara Falls crashing around her.
"When I saw this newspaper, memories from the past flooded back like a tide." She gently touched a scar on the back of her neck that had faded over time.
"Sometimes, when things are out of sight, one truly believes they have forgotten everything." A tear rolled down her cheek.
"My name was Lin Xueqi. At the time of the incident, I was in the second year of junior high in H City. It was a Friday, a dark Friday. As the English class representative, I stayed after school to help my teacher organize that day's English exam papers. By the time I finished, it was already late. I said goodbye to a classmate who was also staying late, and we made plans to watch a movie together over the weekend."
At this point, Lin Xueqi smiled bitterly and shook her head; it should have been a joyful weekend.
"I hummed a little tune as I walked home when suddenly, I heard screeching brakes. A van surged onto the sidewalk, blocking my path. Two men jumped out quickly and bundled me into the vehicle. They covered my mouth with a cloth, and I soon lost consciousness. When I woke up, I was curled up in a corner of a room, my hands and feet bound. I had no idea how much time had passed; fear filled my heart as I realized I didn’t know where I was. The room reeked of a nauseating moldy smell."
"I struggled to remember everything that had happened. Once I calmed down slightly, I vaguely heard them on the phone demanding ransom, but it seemed to be going poorly. Then one of them came in and began to beat me mercilessly. He had a scar running diagonally across his face to his mouth, making him look terrifying. After he finished pummeling me, I understood the situation."
"It turned out that I was merely a scapegoat."
