Chapter 983 - Doesn\'t Sound Like A Bad Idea.

Lin Xinyi started panting hard in her breath the moment she closed the door. Though she was not asthmatic, all of a sudden, she was feeling all suffocated inside. Closing her eyes, she tried her best to calm herself inside but no matter how she tried, she was just not able to forget the things that woman has come to remind her of.

Opening her eyes, she looked around. Her face has grown all red due to her situation but still, there was no relief. Panting, she struggled her way to reach a cabinet on the side, only to open a drawer to fidget through it. And after searching for a while in it, she found the pills she was looking for.

Opening the bottle, she didn\'t wait but immediately took more than a couple of pills in her mouth before chewing it in one go. And after some time of taking it, finally, she found the relief. Her flushed cheeks grew normal while her breathing also eased.

Lifting the bottle, she read the name labeled over it. ANTI-DEPRESSANT. "This is what you have given me Zhen Qinrou. An everyday war with depressions and late-night nightmares. If this is what you call living a good life, I wish you too to have the same life." She said before turning to keep back the bottle inside the drawer.

But then something struck her thoughts. Shaking her head, she denied her own thoughts internally before announcing it to no one in particular. "No, I can\'t let that woman come for me again. Though she has backed off today, later tomorrow she could again come for me and I would not be able to fight. I won\'t be able to… No, no, no, I need to … I need to call her for help. Now only she can help me and she would have to help me."

She chanted to herself as she ran to get her phone from her bedroom. Though she was desperate to reach someone, she was doubtful if she truly would be able to reach her since there were no immediate contact details of that one person with her. Rather it was just a promise that she has received five years back.

Moving her fingers elegantly over the phone screen, she quickly typed a text message to a number. \'I need your help now. Are you still there to help me?\' And then waited to see if there comes any response. Though she had a suspicion, still somewhere in the corner of her heart there seemed a hope that was giving her strength. A \'hope\' to not fall weak yet.

And her hope wasn\'t proved to be wrong. As just after the text was sent out, after a few seconds, her phone beeped with another text message that displayed the number she was looking for.

Her lips tugged up with a smile as without giving any second thought to the sender, she dialed the number straightforwardly, hearing it ring on the other side.

"It took you really long to give me the call, Ms. Lin. Should I take this as a symbol that all these years your life hasn\'t gone into too much of rough track?" Just after a few rings, the call was answered by a very elegant voice that made Lin Xinyi think twice about things.

Tugging her brows together with some concern, she asked, "How did you know that it\'s me calling you?"

And a soft chuckle rang out on the other side to reply in an ambiguous way, "How do you think, Ms. Lin?"

And it was then Lin Xinyi realized. "All these years you have kept all my information."

The lady on the other side of the call hummed and agreed readily as if she never had any motive of keeping it secret. "Of course. Since five years back, I had promised to protect you and help you in need, how could I leave you on your own? It was my responsibility to keep a note on your life to fulfill that promise."

She said and with her words like that, somehow, Lin Xinyi felt assured. Otherwise, when she was writing the text message earlier, she wasn\'t even sure if she would be receiving any reply back on not. The woman was a mystery to her but at the same time was her savior, who showed her the right path when she was on the edge of doing the sin.

"So, you might already know why I have called today?" Lin Xinyi asked and heard the woman hum again in reciprocation.

"Mhm. I was waiting to receive your call since today, after so many years, Zhen Qinrou finally found you again."

"Yes, she came for me today. And you should help me now. Although today I was able to handle her on my own, I can\'t be sure if tomorrow will be the same or not." Lin Xinyi stated and that woman on the other side of the call interrupted.

"Why?"

At first, Lin Xinyi didn\'t understand. Frowning, she asked, "What do you mean?"

To which the lady on the call continued, "I mean, I heard that today you handled her well. When Zhen Qinrou left your place, she was having an expression of agitation that only meant her defeat. Since you were able to defeat her so smoothly, what is there to fear?"

Lin Xinyi immediately shook her head. "No, you can\'t say that. Today was easy because that woman wasn\'t able to guess my weak side. She believed in my threat. But if she thinks of it deeply, she won\'t believe me anymore and I will lose. I can\'t wait for that moment. So, you have to…"

Before she could even complete her words, Lin Xinyi got interrupted as the woman on the call asked with great amusement. "You threatened her? With what?"

And hearing her ask that, Lin Xinyi further frowned but revealed, "I threatened her with the truth. I mean I warned her to not mess with my life, otherwise, I might go to say things to President Feng himself. And she would have no way. But as you know I might not be able to do that in reality. I may not go to reveal all this to President Feng. And she …"

"That doesn\'t sound like a bad idea. That\'s a perfect bait to threaten her. Use it. Why are you fearing it?" Thinking completely opposite of Lin Xinyi\'s words, the lady on the call suggested, and Lin Xinyi just not understand what does she mean.

How could she go and reveal all these past five years\' stories to Feng Shufen? Would it serve any purpose?
