Chapter 48 - Getting Back (1)

"Sorry, you can't go in." The guards guarding Yan Shu's room stopped the person who was covered in all black trying to enter the room.

Yan Shu smiled under the hood. She took out needles from pockets and sneakily jabbed them in the guard's neck at a speed that the latter didn't even had time to react.

Soon, he fell on the ground, completely unconcious. 

Yan Shu rubbed her palms as she dusted him off. With a smirk on her face she entered the room and copied the recording in her phone.

Her gazr fell on her pale self laid on the patient bed. She touched her face with her trembling fingers. 

'Forgive me but it's true that I don't actually want to go back being you.' These few weeks she lived as Su Mo Jiaran,she was really gratified. Although she might've got busier again she was no longer restricted to go out freely. She was able to do everything she wanted to without caring what others will say. She was no longer certain if she wanted to go back to being herself. However, who knows what will happen in the future!? One will eventually find out later.

She left the room for the last time without glancing back. She would investigate her matter till the end but she wasn't sure if she will ever come back to see herself. 

Cause when sees herself she feels guilty, guilty of how she abandoned her own body, guilty of how she was living in someone else's body without hesitating and most of all she was guilt-ridden for not doing anything for herself. 

The guard was still unconcious when she came out. She took out her needles from his neck and quietly walked passed the floor. 

Her next point was the security room. Luckily enough, there weren't many people around since she came real early in the morning. The technician was half asleep in his chair which made it easier for Yan Shu. She quickly deleted her footage before leaving the room as well as hospital.

As she rushed towards the entrance, she bumped into someone.

"Sorry." She apologized for bumping into the lady without glancing at her and continued to move on.

"Ahh... You, stop right there." The lady yelled at Yan Shu. The accidental bumping has spilled the coffee she was holding in her hand,over her white dress.

Her high-pitched sharp voice struck in Yan Shu's ear so hard that she felt pain in her head. Feeling annoyed she turned around to applogize properly for the second time so the lady can calm down and let her go.

"I told you I was sorry...." She was solemnly apologizing when she saw the face of the lady.

"Are you blind? Do you know how expensive this dress is? Do you know who I am?" The woman's yell only got louder catching other's attention.

Yan Shu was so shocked seeing her that she didn't catch a single word she said.

"Lin...Wei..." After a moment of silence, these were the words that came of her mouth.

"Who is Li.. Lin We..Wei??? I am no...not Lin Wei. Don't you da..dare to run away. I am Xu Wei. Got it?" As soon as she heard Yan Shu, the color of her face drained for a second. Although she quickly calmed herself down, her trembling voice sold her off.

Yan Shu was certain that she was her previous manager, Lin Wei. But according to the news, Lin Wei died on spot and her body burned in the blast as her body wasn't found. When Yan Shu found out she was so devastated to hear that she felt ashamed for being alive. Lao Yu, Lin Wei, both of her most closest people died leaving her all alone. But now, seeing Lin Wei , she felt surreal. She almost couldn't believe her eyes. She stretched out her hands to touch her but the woman took a step back to avoid it.

"You dirty hag. How dare you think of touching me with that hand of yours?" Lin Wei was almost barking at this point.

Since Yan Shu was wearing baggy trousers and an oversized hoodie, the hood of which covered most of her face and in addition to that was the face mask making her unrecognizable. As such, many took her as a man from outfront.

Yan Shu took back her hand embarrassingly. She observed Lin Wei from head to toe. Lin Wei's lips were much bigger now making it obvious that she'd put on lip fillers. Her cheeks were now refined with a sharp jawline. Even her eyebrows were sharply shaped upwards. Her slim body was now curvy which was accentuated by the white midi tight sleeveless dress she was wearing. On her shoulder, the new limited edition Chanel bag was hanging paired with heels. No one would be able to recognize her as Lin Wei on her new look. The previous Lin Wei was a very reserved person. She didn't like to dress up gorgeously leading to her wardrobe filled with only trousers and shirts and blazers. She was allergic to make up and her face was average, completely different from the one standing front of Yan Shu now. Unfortunately, Yan Shu was too sharp to figure out her real identity after all she didn't spend most of her time of ten years with Lin Wei for nothing. She might be able to lie to others but not to Yan Shu. Above all, ten years is no joke.

"Lin Wei, you might be able to lie others but not to me. It's quite shocking that you are still alive. Could it be that...." Although for a moment Yan Shu was too caught up with her emotions that she felt genuinely happy that Lin Wei was alive. But after how Lin Wei treated her, she was now certain that something was off. The kind and humble Lin Wei is nowhere to be seen in her. Now that she thought of what Si Junyan said the other day, her eyes turned colder after gazing at the changed Lin Wei. 

"What bullsh*t are you mumbling? You are trying to get away by spitting rubbish? I am going to call the police now." The lady spoke every words of hers so loudly that by now people were slowly gathering around them.

Yan Shu didn't notice the small crowd that was forming around them but when she saw it , she realized that if she doesn't leave the place now she might end up getting caught as a pervert by the police.

"I will see you soon." She whispered in Lin Wei's ears before running off speedily. Right now, she had more important things to do. She ran towards the back alley a little far from the hospital and took off the hoodie and trousers as well as the mask in the dustbin and fixed her dress and hair.

She then quickly left the alley as a sweet teen girl.
