Chapter 4: Yao Ran’s Scheme

After calling the police, Yao Ran sat up and checked her body. When she couldn't feel any pain except in her wrists and ankles, Yao Ran knew that Lan Guanghui didn't hit her. Based on this, she knew that this should be the third day that Lan Guanghui locked her here.

In her previous life, Yao Ran stubbornly followed her grandfather's will and refused to hand over the company to her father. Because of this reason, Lan Guanghui locked her up for more than two months.

From the fifth day after she was imprisoned, Lan Guanghui hired a group of thugs to beat her several times every day. When he was away, Chen Meilin and Lan Lifei would also come to beat her. Recalling what she had experienced in this basement in the past, Yao Ran's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Since she wanted the police to put Lan Guanghui in jail, Yao Ran had to make herself suffer even more.

She sneered, raised her hand to summon a vine, and controlled it to whip her body. Soon, her cheap dress was torn by the vines, and her body was covered with wounds and blood.

Feeling the stinging pain all over her body, she retracted the vine and waited patiently for the police to arrive. Because there were no lights in the basement, Yao Ran didn't know how long it had been since she called the police.

After waiting for a while, she finally heard some movements outside. Judging from the footsteps and voices on the other side of the iron door, Yao Ran knew that the police had finally arrived.

She slightly curled her lips, summoned a water blade, and slashed her neck and several places on her body without hesitation.

Just when the water blade turned into water on the dirty ground, the iron door was forcefully opened, and several people rushed into the basement. With the lights outside illuminating the dark basement, the police could clearly see the situation down there.

When their eyes fell on Yao Ran, who was pretending to be dead on the ground, they quickly called the medical staff.

"Paramedics! The victim is here! She is injured and bleeding!"

Soon, the medical staff rushed into the basement. When they saw the wounds on Yao Ran's body, they couldn't help but take a sharp breath.

In this society governed by the rule of law, few people are whipped and tortured like this. What kind of resentment makes a father do such a thing to his daughter? Despite their shock and curiosity, the medical staff acted quickly.

After giving Yao Ran first aid, one of the medical staff said, "She lost too much blood, and her condition is very serious. We should send her to the hospital as soon as possible."

After hearing this, the police quickly brought a stretcher and helped the medical staff carry Yao Ran out of the basement.

The villa's basement is located next to the underground cellar. When they carried Yao Ran out, the police, along with Lan Guanghui and others, walked out of the main building.

The moment Lan Guanghui saw Yao Ran's thin body covered in blood and wounds, he couldn't believe his eyes. Wasn't she fine just now? Why did she suddenly become like this?

Thinking that Yao Ran was faking it, Lan Lifei struggled while being pulled by the police and shouted angrily, "She is faking it! Don't believe her! I'm innocent!"

After she finished speaking, Lan Guanghui and Chen Meilin came back to their senses. Chen Meilin knew something was fishy the moment she saw the police.

Without a mobile phone and no one to help, how could Yao Ran call the police? What's more, they never touched her at all. Why is she covered in wounds? All of this must be Yao Ran's conspiracy!

Chen Meilin gritted her teeth, looked at the police, and shed a few more tears, "She was fine just now. Officers, she must be faking it!"

The police's eyes turned cold after hearing what Lan Lifei and Chen Meilin said.

It is despicable for a father to kidnap his daughter. But his mistress had the nerve to say that the victim was faking it. Just looking at the bleeding from the victim's neck, everyone knew that these people had just tortured her.

Pulling Chen Meilin into the police car, the police officer coldly said, "Everything you said can be used against you in court. You'd better behave!"

After the police arrested Lan Guanghui and everyone in the villa, they returned to the police station. Meanwhile, Yao Ran was already lying in the ambulance and on her way to the nearest hospital. When Yao Ran opened her eyes again, she had been transferred to the hospital ward.

Hearing the soft groaning sound coming from the bed, the two men sitting on the sofa stood up. They walked over to her and stood a few steps away from the bed.

Yao Ran glanced at them and found that one of them looked familiar. Seeing her staring at him, the man smiled and asked, "Miss Yao, how do you feel?"

Judging from his familiarity with her, Yao Ran knew that the two of them must be acquaintances. But after spending so many years at the end of the world and two hellish years in the laboratory, her memories were fragmented and blurry.

She looked at the man in his early thirties and hesitated, "You…"

Sensing her hesitation, the man smiled, with a trace of pity in his eyes, "Miss Yao, we met three months ago when you attended the reading of Chairman Yao's will. I was your grandfather's assistant and now working as your assistant. You can call me Assistant He."

Then he gestured to the young man wearing glasses next to him and said, "This is the lawyer who handled your kidnapping case."

The young man with glasses smiled politely at Yao Ran and introduced himself, "Miss Yao, I am the chief lawyer of Yao Group. You can call me Lawyer Li. Can I ask you some questions?"
