Chapter Ten Is She?

  Night falls, the neon lights are on, and the city's night is more lively than daytime. Wang Siting, lying in bed, opens her eyes. In her dream, she dreams of him again, and all sorts of things from before, but in the end, she always wakes up with a start from a nightmare.

  Looking out the window at the dazzling night view, I lift my head to gaze afar. Although the neon lights are as beautiful as a rainbow, their beauty obscures the clarity of the starry sky. In this bustling metropolis, one will never see a sky full of stars.

  She saw her own blurry shadow reflected on the glass, with a painful afternoon, red and swollen eyes, a painted face, disheveled long hair, and a wrinkled black skirt. She had never seen herself so disheveled before. As she looked at it, she couldn't help but laugh foolishly, and then burst out laughing loudly.

  The cars coming and going, Wang Si Ting thought, among so many cars, would there be one that he was driving at this moment? If he raised his head to see himself standing in front of the window, could he still recognize her? Would he be scared by her current appearance?

  If he hadn't recognized her, would there be another beautiful and charming woman sitting in the passenger seat of his car?

  Wang Si Ting didn't want to think about him anymore, but no matter how hard she tried to control it, he would always appear in her mind unintentionally. Once he appeared, the memories of them were like a burst dam, unstoppable.

  "Spare me, have mercy on me, can't you? Don't torture me like this anymore, please."

  Wang Si Ting lay in the bathtub, wanting to wash away any memories of him, but when the delete button appeared in her mind, she instinctively chose to cancel. Was she going to carry this unrequited love for the rest of her life, letting it torment her every day?

  Lying in the bathtub, slowly sinking down, letting the water engulf herself, unable to hear any sound or breathe, tightly closing her eyes, a complete darkness. When facing death, Wang Si Ting would temporarily forget him due to the fear in her heart.

  "Cough...cough..."

  Water entered her nose and she was choked with discomfort. The sudden feeling of suffocation and the pain in her lungs made her afraid from the bottom of her heart.

  In the end, she did not choose death because she was afraid of dying. Although this emotion tormented her to the point where she was neither human nor ghost, she was a person who cherished herself extremely and would never take her own life lightly. If it weren't for this fear of death, she probably would have died five years ago.

  Standing wrapped in a towel in front of the mirror filled with steam, he stretched out his right hand and lightly wrote his name on the mirror with his index finger. He looked at it for a while, then rubbed it off forcefully, just like the water vapor on the mirror was being wiped away bit by bit. Looking at himself in the mirror, he didn't think of anything, he just kept looking like that.

  I don't know how long I've been in the dark, but I still can't sleep. Wang Si Ting looked at the clock on her bedside table and it was almost three o'clock. Can't sleep? Might as well do something then.

  Wang Si Ting got up, blew dry her hair, and applied a delicate makeup look. Her bright red lips stood out against the black bodycon mini dress that showcased her beautiful long legs. Her wavy long hair was simply pinned back with a hairpin, revealing her slender neck, sensual collarbone, and a simple diamond stud earring on her ear.

  Looking at the enchanting self in the mirror, thinking for a moment that something seems to be missing, so turning around and walking into the closet, taking out a pair of stockings. How could it be without them? The beautiful long legs paired with slightly transparent stockings make people unable to help but want to reach out and touch them.

  She put on a duffle coat, holding a small bag in her hand, which always contained a scalpel. This was her habit.

  She walked to the entrance, put on Christian Louboutin high heels, which she had specifically gone to buy after work today. This pair of shoes was a great help to her, so she wanted to make good use of it.

  Everything was ready, and Wang Siting took another look in the mirror. Not bad, she was quite satisfied with her outfit.

  Wu Hui drove the car to the entrance of Biquan Hotel and stopped. It was 3 o'clock in the morning now, and Zhou Linlin walked out of Biquan Hotel at this time, then walked west along the road outside the hotel entrance, and encountered some troublemakers at the intersection ahead, after which two police officers chased them away.

  Afterwards, Zhou Linlin continued to head west and turned south at a corner. There was an east-west alleyway there, where Zhou Linlin encountered the misfortune.

  These two alleys are sandwiched between two shopping malls, leaving only about three or four meters of space. If it weren't for the hotel opposite the entrance of the alley, I think no one would walk through this small alley.

  Across the hotel, Wu Hui recalled that Zhou Linlin had left the Biquan Hotel after receiving a phone call. Judging from her route, she should be heading to the hotel across the street, or there was someone she wanted to find in the direction of the hotel across the street.

  "Beautiful girl, how about accompanying brother for a bit of fun..." Wu Hui walked west along the alley and faintly heard several men's voices.

  Could it be those little rascals bullying people again? Wu Hui thought as he quickened his pace and walked forward.

  "Why aren't you talking, are you mute? Such a beauty and yet a mute, what a pity. But never mind, come on, let me give you a kiss..." Wu Hui walked in and took a look, he recognized these people, they were the ones who had teased Zhou Linlin that day, because of the fight they were detained, didn't expect that after coming out, they would be like this again.

  Although it was unclear what the person surrounded by them looked like, it could be heard from their mouths that it must be a woman.

  Wu Hui was about to scold these people when he heard a woman's voice, "Get out!"

  "Wow, I knew it, you can talk! I said so, such a beautiful woman couldn't be mute. Come on, let's have some fun together."

  "Hahaha..." The man continued to tease the woman, and several others chimed in with loud laughter.

  "Ah!" With a scream, several people's laughter also stopped, and the surrounding people quickly retreated backwards.

  As several people dispersed, Wu Hui saw clearly that a man was hugging his lower body and rolling on the ground, apparently he had met a woman who was not easy to deal with today.

  The woman stepped on the man lying on the ground with her foot, and her face was hidden in the darkness, Wu Hui couldn't see clearly.

  "Damn it, you're asking for death! Daring to bully our big brother, brothers, let's go!" One of them shouted after a brief pause.

  Hearing that man's shout, they looked again and saw that the person standing in front of them was just a woman. Can't several men beat one woman? Thinking of this, the few people rushed up again.

  Wu Hui thought it was bad, this woman is going to get hurt. However, he only saw the woman kick one of the men at her feet to the side, then she did a front kick, her right leg bending at the hip joint and lifting up, pushing forward, her calf quickly kicking out in front of her with the knee as the axis, hitting one of the men's face. Seeing the man clutching his chin and falling down, it was clear how powerful the kick was.

  Then she saw her right foot stepping on the ground, her right leg bending at the hip joint and lifting up, her left foot rotating 180 degrees with the front of her foot as the axis, her hip joint rotating to the left, her right leg stretching forward with the knee joint as the axis, her right foot quickly kicking out in a straight line to the upper right front, fiercely kicking sideways, among them one person holding onto the kicked knee joint, it seems they can't get up either.

  One of them picked up a brick and was about to smash it, but she dodged with a swift movement and grabbed her handbag with lightning speed. With a elegant arc, the handbag flew through the air and hit the man on the opposite side, making a dull thud. The woman cursed under her breath and kicked him flying again.

  Due to the snow, Wu Hui saw that woman take out an object from her handbag, which appeared to be a small metal knife. The knife flipped in her hand and lightly slashed the right arm of one person, along with the sleeve, cutting out a long and deep gash. White flesh was exposed, and bright red blood seeped out from the wound, dripping onto the snow on the ground, like blooming roses. That person let out a mournful cry, echoing throughout the alley.

  Several people found that they couldn't get close to the woman, it seemed that they had met a formidable opponent. They looked at each other with fear in their eyes. They were just petty thugs who bullied the weak and feared the strong, how could they have seen such a scene? "Sister, spare our lives, we won't dare again!"

  "Get out!"

  Several people heard her tell them to get out and quickly pulled up the person who was still lying on the ground, turned around and ran away, soon disappearing into the alley.

  Wu Hui did not expect that a seemingly weak woman would have such good skills, it seems that his worries earlier were unnecessary.

  "Not enough yet, come out!" The woman looked at where Wu Hui was standing. She had already discovered that someone was standing there, but the place he was standing was a bit dark and his face couldn't be seen clearly.

  For some reason, Wu Hui felt that this voice was very familiar, but looking at the woman's dress and appearance, he seemed to not recognize her.

  Wu Hui walked out of the darkness, and the moonlight shone on his glasses, flashing for a moment.

  "Is it you?" The woman looked clearly at the person standing there and was somewhat surprised.

  Wu Hui looked at the woman again and was certain he didn't know her. From her tone, it seemed like she knew him, "Do you know me?"

  The woman walked up to Wu Hui's face, looking at him with a playful expression, "It's me, Wang Si Ting!"

  "Wang Siting!" Wu Hui only knew one Wang Siting, and that was the forensic doctor. He compared her to the woman in front of him, and indeed, they were the same person, but he really couldn't reconcile this image with the cold and unadorned forensic doctor he had previously seen, always wearing a white coat.

  "No need to doubt, it's me. How are you here?" Wang Siting didn't like being stared at by Wu Hui for so long, giving her a kind of illusion, as if she was staring at the corpse on the operating table, feeling strange.

  "Cough, cough... you... I really didn't expect that you have such good skills." Wu Hui looked at the object in Wang Si Ting's hand, which was a surgical knife. He felt somewhat embarrassed and cleared his throat twice. The Wang Si Ting he saw today indeed made him feel a bit surprised.

  "Just self-defense, you haven't answered my question yet, what are you doing here?" Wang Siting wiped the surgical knife and put it back in her bag, "Shit!"

  Wu Hui looked down and understood why Wang Si Ting had cursed when she hit one of them with her handbag earlier. It turned out that the phone in her handbag was broken when it hit the person.
