Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Chapter 1631: Chapter 1631: You Will Regret It

The hospital was shrouded in silence.

Guan Qing lay in the hospital bed, staring at the ceiling with eyes wide open, unable to fall asleep.

Slight footsteps echoed down the hallway. Guan Qing assumed it was the night nurse and paid it no mind, turning her body away from the door with a long sigh.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, and a dark figure slipped in.

Upon hearing the noise, Guan Qing turned to look, only to see the silhouette of a muscular man before her. Her heart skipped a beat, and before she could let out a scream, the man spoke first.

”Sister Guan, it’s me! I’m Wang Jiu!”

”Wang Jiu?” Guan Qing sat up, about to turn on the bedside lamp.

”Don’t turn on the lights,” Wang Jiu hurriedly stopped her.

”Why? Wang Jiu, why are you coming to see me in the middle of the night? The incident with the vegetable company isn’t over yet, the police are searching everywhere for you. Shouldn’t you be hiding? Why come here? Are you short on money again? Just take it from my bag, there’s still a little left, it should be enough for you to get away,” said Guan Qing.

”Sister Guan, it’s true I Wang Jiu haven’t mistaken the person! You really are righteous,” Wang Jiu fist-bumped towards Guan Qing in the dark.

”Wang Jiu, it’s you who are righteous and have always treated me well! So...nevermind, just take the money and leave quickly. From now on, we better not meet again...this is my father’s order! You know I’ve always respected my father! I cannot disregard what he says,” she said.

After a few seconds of silence, Wang Jiu said: ”Okay! Thank you, Sister Guan. I’ve been well these past few years thanks to your care. Someone has cut off both your source of income and mine, and I can’t stand it. I’m here today to tell you that I won’t let you suffer the loss of the four Nanguofeng restaurants for nothing. I will avenge you, I will get justice!”

”Wang Jiu, what do you mean by that?” Guan Qing was stunned.

”Of course, it’s to punish the person who stole your hard work from you.”

”Wang Jiu, you mean to go against An Hao?”

”No! She’s a military person, I can’t afford to offend her. But, there’s another little girl, she’s the real one who took your things. I will avenge you!”

Guan Qing was startled: ”Wang Jiu, don’t be reckless. Just go do whatever you should be doing. I’ve lost the restaurant, and I’ve accepted it, but really I don’t need your help with this.”

”This isn’t just for you, but also for me. After this job, I will never come back. I’ve found a new profession, with great prospects and lots of money,” Qin Jian said.

”Wang Jiu, you’re not going to...”

Wang Jiu nodded.

”That path shouldn’t be taken!” Guan Qing told him, ”You will regret it!”

”I, Wang Jiu, have nothing to lose. I won’t regret it! This visit is to say goodbye to you! Sister Guan, farewell!” After saying this, Wang Jiu turned around and left.

In the rural outskirts, ruins were everywhere.

The pitch-black room was drafty from all sides, Lin Qiushu’s mouth was stuffed with a cloth, and her hands were tied behind her to a pillar.

She had been sitting in this position for a long time, finding it extremely difficult to move even slightly.

Now, her entire leg was numb, and her arms hurt to the point of losing sensation.

At this moment, her mood was incredibly defeated; she had been thrown in this place for so long, alone, with no one looking for her, and no way to escape.
