Rebirth: What to do if you fall into a wolf's den

The night was as dark as ink, deep and quiet. The breeze gently blew past the window, bringing a hint of coolness, but it could not dispel the heavy atmosphere in the room. On the rose-red bed, a young girl lay quietly, her face flushed, as if she was troubled by a high fever. Crystal beads of sweat slid from her forehead, flowed across her cheeks, and dripped onto the pillow. A bag of IV dripped slowly into her body on her fair arm, hoping to bring her some comfort.

The middle-aged man in a doctor's gown sat by the bed, observing the girl's reaction intently. Sometimes he opened the girl's eyelids to check her pupils, and sometimes he touched her pulse to feel her heartbeat. His brows were furrowed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

"Doctor Su, how is my daughter?" An anxious voice came from outside the door. It was the girl's mother, Li Qing. She rushed into the room desperately, her eyes were red, and she had obviously been crying.

Doctor Su gently put down the tools in his hands, turned to look at Li Qing, and said in a heavy voice: "Mrs. Ji, I'm sorry, your daughter's mental condition is not very stable at the moment. She has suffered a serious mental blow and needs time to recover. I suggest that you stay with her more recently and give her love and support. In addition, I have prescribed some medicine, remember to give it to her on time."

Li Qing's heart sank suddenly. She held back her tears and asked in a trembling voice, "Have you found who it is? Who hurt my daughter!" Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

Ji Mingyu sighed, shook his head and said, "We haven't found any definite clues yet. However, I learned from Qingqing that Zhao Jiayu said your daughter was drunk so she was sent to the car first. I will investigate Anye through my friends to see if there is any news."

Li Qing was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief and anger: "Zhao family's daughter? Zhao Jiayu? Isn't she my baby's good friend? How could she do such a thing!"

Ji Mingyu held his wife's hand tightly, with a firm look in his eyes: "We must find out the truth of the matter! But, Li Qing, you have to stay calm. The situation is very complicated now. Zhao Jiayu may be the key figure, but we still need more evidence to prove her guilt. In addition, the matter of Dark Night is also very important. We must act carefully and not alert the enemy."

Li Qing nodded, tears welling up in her eyes again. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "I know. I will stay calm. How is my baby daughter now?"

Ji Mingyu gently patted the back of his wife's hand: "She has already taken the medicine. Didn't Doctor Su say that her mental state is somewhat damaged and she needs more rest? Don't worry, I will always be with her."

Li Qing nodded, she knew that the most important thing now was to take good care of her daughter. She walked to the bed and sat down, gently stroking her daughter's pale face, her eyes filled with endless love and heartache.

"Mom is here, Yanyan, don't be afraid." Li Qing whispered in a low voice, as if comforting a frightened child.

The night is still dark, but in this family full of love and care, there is a warm light that illuminates the way forward for them. They believe that no matter how great the difficulties and challenges are, as long as they unite as one, everything will be fine.

……

Zhao's home. The morning sunlight shone through the gaps in the curtains, scattering on Zhao Jiayu's face. She opened her eyes dazedly and reached out to grope for the phone on the bedside. The word "Mom" was displayed on the screen, and the ringing of the phone kept urging her.

Zhao Jiayu frowned and answered the phone, her tone slightly impatient: "Hello, Mom, what's going on?"

The mother's concerned voice came from the other end of the phone: "Jia Yu, did you send Yan Yan home last night? I heard that she didn't go home and drank a lot of wine."

Zhao Jiayu's heart tightened, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled gently, with a hint of cunning in her tone: "Mom, don't worry, I personally sent Yanyan to the taxi yesterday, and she said she would call you to let you know she was safe when she got home."

The mother seemed a little unconvinced, but she didn't ask any more questions. She sighed and said, "That's good. Let her have a good rest and stop drinking. By the way, how is your work going recently? Don't be too tired."

Zhao Jiayu responded perfunctorily and hung up the phone. A complex emotion surged in her heart, including guilt towards her mother and resentment towards Ji Yan. She knew that her plan last night had succeeded.

At the same time, Li Qing also hung up the phone. She turned to Ji Mingyu and said, "I just asked, Mrs. Zhao said Zhao Jiayu said she sent her daughter home and received a call from her daughter. How is the progress on your side?"

Ji Mingyu rubbed his temple, his eyes revealing a trace of fatigue: "No progress. You should rest first to have the strength. I will wait for the news."

Li Qing sighed softly, walked to Ji Mingyu, and gently pressed his shoulders and neck with her white and tender hands, trying to relieve his fatigue. The sun shone into the spacious hall, illuminating the entire space. The two stood side by side in front of the window, their eyes looking out the window into the distance.

At this moment, a slight sound came from the bedroom. Li Qing immediately turned to look at the source of the sound, and saw her daughter Ji Yan lying on the spacious bed. She frowned slightly and closed her eyes, as if she was still troubled in her sleep. Li Qing walked slowly to the bedside, looked down at her daughter's frowning brows, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. She gently kissed her daughter's forehead, then turned and walked out of the bedroom.

"Mingyu, I want to stay with Yanyan tonight. I'm a little worried about her." Li Qing said softly, looking at her husband standing beside her.

"Okay, you stay with Yanyan tonight. Remember to call me if you need anything." Ji Mingyu said gently, and then sent Li Qing to the door of Ji Yan's bedroom.

Ji Mingyu looked at Li Qing's departing back, with a hint of worry in his eyes. He knew that this incident had caused great harm to both Li Qing and Ji Yan, but he also knew that he had to remain calm and rational in order to find the truth and protect them.

Zhao Jiayu was drinking coffee leisurely in her room, with a smug smile on her face. She knew that her plan was halfway successful, and she just had to wait and see what would happen next. She believed that Ji Yan would never be able to return to her previous state, and all this was the result of her careful planning.

However, she didn't realize that once something started, she couldn't decide to end it...
