Chapter 182 Dabing Was Hurt

Tang Xia and Song Sisi were both taken aback, when they heard the sound at the door. They thought of the man, as mentioned by the housekeeper.

“If this man had arrived before they came, chances were that he was the initiator of all these weird events!”

“It could be that Zhang Yaoyao might have been murdered by him! Considering that Zhang Yaoyao was alone in the room when she died, it could be conjectured that the man might have been the one who poisoned her.”

Someone was pounding ferociously on the door. “Could it be that man?” They became even more frightened when they thought of this. “What should they do? All the others were out and there were only the two of them left!”

“Did he plan to kill them, since they were alone in the house?” Thinking of this, Tang Xia took up a vase from the table, at once. “What to do? What to do?”

While they were still contemplating their next move, suddenly, Fang Yan’s voice could be heard, from the door.

“Open up! Dabing is hurt!”

On hearing his voice, Song Sisi rolled her eyes at Tang Xia, as if mocking her for being so timid.

Tang Xia put the vase down immediately, and rushed to open the door, without even looking at Song Sisi. The housekeeper was so excited that he raised his head and cast his eyes towards the door, when he saw that the three men were back.

Tang Xia opened the door, and Fang Yan walked in, carrying Dabing. The rain was still heavy, their raincoats had failed to keep their clothes from being soaked by the rain.

The two men laid Dabing on the couch, and discarded their raincoats immediately. Fang Yan said, “Dabing was hit on his back, by a falling stone”

Tang Xia asked at once, “What happened when you went out?”

Fang Yan looked at Song Sisi, who was silent, not knowing what was on her mind.

Looking at his silent friends, Ye Yifan sighed in his mind. “Dabing is in a coma. We have to send him to the hospital now!”

“The hospital?” Tang Xia was suddenly at a loss. “They had been stuck here, without any food to eat. How could they even get to the hospital? If they could do that, there would be no need for the three of them to try to find the way out, and Dabing would not have been injured, either.”

Song Sisi also found that this remark sounded quite incredulous. “How could they get to the hospital? They had been stuck here for so long, without even adequate food.”

The housekeeper was silent, and slipped away, unobtrusively.

Seeing the various expressions on everyone’s faces, Ye Yifan got up and pulled Tang Xia to a corner, which made Song Sisi jealous, when she saw them huddling together. But under such conditions, she was not in the mood to bother about them.

Fang Yan also looked at them coldly, but he said nothing, since Song Sisi did the same.

Tang Xia looked at Ye Yifan, in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

Ye Yifan looked very serious and said in a low voice,

“Not long after we went out, I observed the surroundings and thought there was nothing wrong. At that time, Dabing was five or six meters behind me, but after a short while, when I looked back, I found him lying on the ground, in a daze, about one or two meters from me.”

Tang Xia was puzzled. “You mean someone pushed him?”

Ye Yifan fell silent. “In my opinion, Dabing would not have been able to move so fast. But there were only the three of us at the moment.”

Tang Xia said, with some confusion, “Could it be Fang Yan? You would definitely not do that, then he should be the only suspect. But he… Why?”

This had made Ye Yifan confused as well. He didn’t understand why Fang Yan would push Dabing, for no reason. But it came to him that Zhang Yaoyao had also died, for no reason.

Tang Xia looked up at Ye Yifan and said, “Last night, I heard Song Sisi going out when I was still in a daze from my sleep, so I followed her. But I lost sight of her when she suddenly turned at the corner.”

“I hung around and tried to look for her. When I turned back, I found Fang Yan standing behind me. He then asked me what I was doing.”

Ye Yifan was puzzled. “Did you make a mistake?”

Tang Xia was uncertain about this. “I’m not sure. Then I argued with Fang Yan for a while. He told me that Song Sisi had been in the room all this while. I didn’t trust him. But when we returned to the room, she was there. I could not tell whether she was really asleep or not”

Ye Yifan thought about this, touching his jaw.

“Last but not least, Fang Yan then accused me to be the murderer, the one who killed Zhang Yaoyao.

Ye Yifan paused and cast his eyes over Tang Xia. Indeed, Fang Yan’s behavior seemed quite suspicious, at this point.

But accusing a man of being Zhang Yaoyao’s murderer, because he was wandering along the corridor at midnight, was a little rash, and would seem like it was an attempt to frame him.

Tang Xia looked back at Song Sisi, who was watching their every movement, as if they were about do something excessive.

Song Sisi glared fiercely at Tang Xia, when she saw Tang Xia looking at her. But Tang Xia ignored her and looked at Ye Yifan.

“Song Sisi said something to me when you were out. She kept saying that I was Zhang Yaoyao’s killer.” Of course, she didn’t tell him how she had threatened Son Sisi by saying that she would kill her first.”

Ye Yifan looked at her in bewilderment. “Why are they so convinced that you killed Zhang Yaoyao? What’s their purpose for setting up such an elaborate trap for you last night?”

That sounded so strange.

“Ah! Yes!” Tang Xia appeared to have realized something. She looked around.

Ye Yifan saw that she seemed to be searching for something. “What’s wrong? What are you looking for?”

Tang Xia grabbed Ye Yifan’s hand and said excitedly, “The housekeeper! The housekeeper! He seems to know something!”

“The housekeeper? What’s wrong with the housekeeper? Why was she so excited about him?”

“When I was arguing with Song Sisi, he rushed over and told us that you all were in danger and may not survive.”

Ye Yifan raised his eyebrows. Why would the housekeeper say that, as if he knew what was going to happen to them? But they did encounter an accident, and Dabing was indeed hurt.

Thus, the housekeeper’s words indicated that Dabing’s getting injured, was not an accident. So…

“Why would the housekeeper say that?”

Tang Xia said in confusion, “I kept asking him why he was saying that, but he kept repeating the same words.”

‘What’s that?”

Tang Xia touched her jaw, as she recalled his words, “There is a man…”

Ye Yifan was instantly startled. “Who’s that man?”

Tang Xia shook her head. “I don’t know, either. When I asked him, he acted like he had a headache. He covered his head, squatted, frowned and kept repeating the same words.”

But when Tang Xia looked around, she could not even see the housekeeper’s shadow. The housekeeper always seemed as if he knew something was going on.

Ye Yifan tried to rationalize. First, Fang Yan and Song Sisi’s behavior seemed too strange. Then Dabing’s injury today was weird, as was the housekeeper’s warning. All of these events seemed to be just the tip of the iceberg. Looking at Tang Xia, Ye Yifan smiled suddenly.

Since they found the clues, there was still hope for them to escape.

Ye Yifan raised his hand and caressed Tang Xia’s hair.

“At present, all we need to do is watch out for Fang Yan and Song Sisi. Pay close attention to them. Though it looks like Song Sisi is unwilling to come into contact with Fang Yan, I feel their relationship is rather strange, though I don’t know why.

“It feels like they have reached an agreement. And, at the moment, the only breakthrough point we have, is the housekeeper. So we must start from the housekeeper!”

Tang Xia nodded, her mind wandering to Dabing, who was lying on the couch, in a coma.

“What about Dabing? We’ve been stuck here and there’s no way out, let alone finding a hospital.”

Ye Yifan was also at a loss. Frankly speaking, he did not know what to do, either. They had been searching for a way out, but failed to find it. What was worse, Dabing was hurt.

Tang Xia comforted him by patting his shoulder. “We’ll be all right. Trust yourself. We will find a way if we keep trying. And we will survive!”

Seeing Tang Xia’s smiling face, he felt a slight warmth in his heart. He pinched her cheeks lightly. “H’m. Now that my princess has told me this, I will protect her till the end.”

Tang Xia blushed at once. She was comforting him; how could he tease her instead?

She glared at Ye Yifan a little bit unwillingly, which, in Song Sisi and Fang Yan’s eyes, was apparently, proof of her affair with Ye Yifan.

Fang Yan cast his eyes over them in anger. “How should she hook up with Ye Yifan after breaking up with him only a few days ago? What did she think her ex-boyfriend was?” So he said in a loud voice, “How can you banter with each other, under such conditions?”

Tang Xia chuckled. “But all you had eyes for, when you came in, was Song Sisi, right?”

Then her eyes lingered on him and Song Sisi. They showed their disdain as if they were watching Tang Xia’s husband idling away with a mistress, and had been caught in the act by his wife.

Fang Yan and Song Sisi were embarrassed by Tang Xia’s gaze. After all, he had broken up with Tang Xia for Song Sisi.

“You and Ye Yifan are so close to each other. Who knows if you have been ogling each other even before we broke up?”

Whoops, Fang Yan, the scumbag, sounded so righteous. Song Sisi, standing beside him, also straightened her back.

“Yes. Who knows if you have been hooking up with Ye Yifan, before that!”

Tang Xia listened to them echoing each other, and thought it was ridiculous. “So? You’ve found another prey for yourself? You feel it is worthless once you got it?”

Ye Yifan watched how Tang Xia crushed them with her words. He seemed to be able to melt Tang Xia’s look, with his eyes.

Tang Xia’s looks changed when she saw Fang Yan and Song Sisi, suddenly at a loss for words.

Ye Yifan was confused. “What happened?”

Tang Xia looked at Dabing. “If it was Fang Yan who pushed Dabing, there should be another man who threw the stone!

“If this is true, then…

“There should be another man…”
