"Hello, Yu Yan?"
"Feng Mian…" Yu Yan could only call out as she started to feel despair. In front of that cheating couple, she didn't want to show her weakness, thus she held back her tears. But now that they were no longer in front of her, she felt like crying even louder.
"Yu Yan, where are you? Are you alright?" Feng Mian's worried voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.
Hearing the worry and concern within Feng Mian's voice, Yu Yan really wished that she could just confide in her friend everything. She needed someone's company right now. Badly at that.
"Feng Mian, help me…" in the next second, Yu Yan broke into tears as she sobbed heavily. At this time a car also passed by the street near her, telling Feng Mian on the other side that she was on the street.
"Yu Yan, where are you?"
Yu Yan sobbed. She looked at the street before her. "I'm in front of my apartment in City F. Can you come here?"
City F?
It was then she recalled that Feng Mian moved to the Capital City after her marriage with Zhang Liang a few months prior. The distance from here to the Capital City was quite far and certainly could not be covered in such a short time.
Just as Yu Yan was about to say that they shouldn't come here, Feng Mian had already replied from the phone.
"I'm going there. Yan'er, please wait in a safe place."
Yu Yan nearly choked on her tears. She tried to hold back her cry as she replied, "...Yes."
From the phone, she faintly heard the voice of Zhang Liang speaking to his wife. It seemed that the two of them were together when she called.
"We can depart now."
"Ok, Liang, step on the gas!"
"On it."
Yu Yan felt a bit guilty. She hoped that she hadn't ruined the sweet time of the couple because she knew that these two had only been married for such a short period of time. From time to time, Feng Mian would speak to her, coaxing her with soft tone.
Time passed by unknowingly.
At the side, Yu Yan hadn't realized it yet but there were several thugs who originally planned to pass the alleyway. After all, it was a place where a lot of people usually pass by but now not a single one of them passed by.
"Do it quietly."
"Yes, Boss!" the man felt like crying. Why did he have to be the one to clean up after the woman's mess, ah? However, going against his boss' order was even scarier compared to going to hell, so he better do his work properly.
The man had already walked out of the car and leaned by the frame. He was tall, around 6 feet tall and dressed in all black clothes. His hand was holding onto a cigarette as he lightly put it into his mouth and lit it up. His silver eyes looked quite eye catching if one were to get close to him.
After all, there were not many people who had silver eyes in this world.
Ring! Ring!
His phone rang and the man with silver eyes picked it up. "Boss, when will you return back?"
"I'm busy. You deal with the matter there first."
As the man with silver eyes closed the phone, the attendant felt like crying. Busy? He was doing nothing but to watch that young lady crying on the street. If not because of his intervention, there might be a lot of thugs who came to get her.
Screech!
A car stopped by the other side of the road. The silver eyed man was about to get rid of them when he saw a woman came out from the passenger seat and started to call out, "Yu Yan! Where are you? If you can hear me, please reply!"
'They're her friend.'
The man with silver eyes watched intently. When the driver of the car came out, his eyes narrowed. The corner of his lips curled up. To think that his old friend also knew this woman… how unexpected.
Clang, klontang.
The sound of a trash can fall could be heard. The woman who came out of the car, Feng Mian, turned her head to the side and saw a figure sitting on the stairs. She quickly rushed there and saw Yu Yan there, crying.
"Yan'er!"
"Feng Mian…?" Yu Yan lifted her face. Upon seeing the bruise on her face, Feng Mian felt her blood boiled in anger. However, this was not the right time to get angry. She needed to place Yu Yan in a safe place.
"It's me."
Yu Yan sobbed and hugged Feng Mian, crying loudly. Feng Mian patted her best friend while Zhang Liang stood not far from them. He knew that he shouldn't interrupted her, but he didn't wish for them to stay here any longer.
"Come on, we should go," Feng Mian said softly.
Yu Yan could only nod weakly as Feng Mian led her to the car. She had been crying for a long time, venting all of her repressed feelings on the street. By now, she had felt better but all those crying only made her felt weak.
Zhang Liang, Feng Mian's husband, was standing by the driver seat. His eyes scanned the area with frown. They took around 2 hours to reach City F but there was not even a single person who come to bother Yu Yan.
It shouldn't have been possible considering that this place was not that remote. There were supposed to be several people who passed by within the past two hours when he drove here.
His eyes landed on the car at the opposite site of the building. However, the car drove off in the next moment.
'Did I just overthink it?'
