Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1063: Chapter 1063: She’s About to Give Birth

In Zhaojia Village, people come and go searching for someone, and many are guarding it. Anyone entering or leaving the village is subject to questioning. The villagers are anxious, especially those who mistakenly accused Tang Yue yesterday. Deep down, they are a bit frightened; they didn’t know any better.

Lian He is stationed at one of the road junctions, rigorously questioning pedestrians. Inside Zhaojia Village, people are asked to cooperate and visit each household. Although it is impossible to survey every single house, at least they can inquire if anyone has seen a stranger’s face. Perhaps there might be some clues.

The news about Wu Xinming was suppressed at Lian He and others’ suggestion. Everyone is focused solely on searching for Tang Yue without mentioning Wu Xinming’s disappearance, as if Wu Xinming was never missing.

In a guesthouse.

Tang Yue has been kept locked for one whole night and another day. Apart from eating and using the bathroom, she’s had no chance to escape. Even when she goes to the bathroom, a woman follows her closely. If she attempts to scream, her mouth is quickly covered, preventing her from making any sound.

Tang Yue considers confronting the woman, but she quietly assesses that the woman’s skills are superior to hers. Even if she manages to escape, the man would catch her instantly.

"Heh, it seems the rumors aren’t always trustworthy." The man presses a dagger against Tang Yue’s face, the cold blade touching her cheek. Just a slight slash could ruin her pretty face.

Tang Yue’s mouth is gagged, and her eyes, frighteningly bright, stare at the man without a trace of fear.

With a flick of his dagger, the towel sealing her mouth is cut off, and he says, "Don’t think about screaming. This guesthouse is entirely ours now. Plus, the family here happens to have a lunatic. If you scream, even if someone is drawn here, you’ll only be mistaken for the lunatic."

Tang Yue exercises her mouth, uncomfortable from being held in one position for so long. After stretching, she purses her lips, showing no intention of replying. Leaning against the wall with lowered eyes, she remains silent no matter what the man says.

"Meng Siyu hasn’t come. What a shame for someone as beautiful as you." The man raises Tang Yue’s chin with his dagger, forcing her to look at him.

Tang Yue curls her lips slightly and says, "You’re wrong."

The man slides his dagger, the cold blade resting on her chin, keeping his gaze on her eyes. He sees no hint of fear and asks, "What’s wrong?"

Tang Yue doesn’t respond, keeping her eyes down and silent.

"Speak." The man applies pressure on his wrist, and a thin trail of blood can be seen on her pale chin.

"What I want to say, you might not want to hear." Tang Yue purses her lips, her dark eyes swirling as she continues, "If you truly want to lure Si Yu here, you should ensure my complete safety. Otherwise, do you think you still have a fighting chance?"

"He hasn’t come." The man reminded her.

"You hid me too well." Tang Yue suddenly sighed.

The man’s eyes darken. He then says, "Do you think moving you would lead someone to your tracks?"

"Or are you suggesting Meng Siyu is so worthless in your eyes?" The man sneers, disbelieving every single word from Tang Yue.

"No, precisely because he’s so capable, hiding me so thoroughly is futile." Tang Yue’s eyes are filled with trust for Meng Siyu, believing that as long as time is prolonged, Wu Xin’s people will definitely find her.

Just as the man wanted to speak, two subordinates rushed in, hastily saying, "Something’s wrong. Their people are about to find this place, boss. We must leave immediately. If we don’t, we won’t be able to escape."

"Xiao Li, seal her mouth and take her away." The man said as he turned to leave.

In the room, only the woman and Tang Yue are left. Tang Yue says, "You like him. Unfortunately, he doesn’t like you."

"What does it have to do with you?" Xiao Li glares at Tang Yue, liking Brother Biao regardless of whether he likes her.

"No, it has to do with you." Tang Yue says earnestly, "I think you’re a good girl. Don’t you want to see your loved one avoiding a disastrous life?"

Xiao Li remains silent.

Tang Yue continues, "If he doesn’t turn back and continues on a dark path, the only result awaiting him won’t be good. Would you be willing to see his future filled with darkness?"

Of course not.

Xiao Li thinks to herself, but adds that even if she wants to persuade him, she can’t.

Xiao Li silently seals Tang Yue’s mouth again.

Tang Yue urgently says, "If you release me, then..."

Before finishing her sentence, Tang Yue faints, feeling frustrated with the woman’s stubbornness.

Xiao Li strips off Tang Yue’s clothes, changing her outfit entirely and stuffing items into Tang Yue’s belly, disguising her as a pregnant woman.

Outside, darkness envelops everything as Xiao Li escorts Tang Yue into a car with Wu Xinming also inside.

"Where are you guys taking me?"

Wu Xinming, confined for a day, shivers all over, not daring to muster any other thoughts. He narrowly escaped death previously; would he be so lucky this time?

He dares not gamble whether the god of fate will always favor him.

The man toys with something in his hand, raising it to Wu Xinming’s temple.

Wu Xinming trembles in fear, stuttering even as he speaks, "Don’t, don’t, don’t kill me."

"Behave and stay silent. If someone catches us, keep quiet. Otherwise, if any accident happens, your little life..." The man’s words aren’t even finished when Wu Xinming quickly says, "No, I won’t speak." Covering his mouth, he desperately shakes his head.

The car slowly and shakily moves along a small road, one of three leading outward besides taking a boat. It’s the largest of the three.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest. If they assumed he’d take the small road, they’d be wrong. He intended to walk out openly.

Investigate?

It would be a dream to find anyone.

Tang Yue now appears as a pregnant woman about to give birth, even fainted from pain.

"Make way, make way!" One of the man’s subordinates urgently shouts, as up ahead, Lian He stands guard at the road exit, with a team checking suspicious passing vehicles.

"Stop."
