Chiang Qing didnât expect that after just one sleep, sheâd open her eyes and find herself on a swaying train.
Looking at the narrow upper hard sleeper berth above her line of sight, if she remembered correctly, this should be the position of a hard sleeper on a train?
Chiang Qing felt momentarily unresponsive. Whatâs going on, where is this? Is she really on a train?
She turned over and sat up, supporting her body with her hand, and intense pain spread to her senses.
Wuuu wuuu, rumble rumble.
These were the sounds of the trainâs whistle and rolling wheels.
She wasnât dreaming; she was really on a train. Whatâs going on, wasnât she in the hospital? How did she end up on a train?
Chiang Qing stood up and walked out to take a look. Except for her, there were only two or three soldiers standing together in the carriage, guarding her.
Who can tell her whatâs going on?
"You, come here." Chiang Qing called to one of the soldiers, feeling her throat dry and hoarse.
The soldier walked over, saluted her, and introduced himself.
"Why am I here, whatâs going on? Is this a kidnapping?" Chiang Qing asked harshly.
"Report, Commander Chiang ordered us to bring you back to Beijing as quickly as possible. This is a train heading to Beijing, and weâll arrive there in eighteen hours!" The soldier replied formally.
What?
Chiang Qing wanted to scream.
Commander Chiang, her father, without a word, had her taken back to Beijing, tied up and brought back? Whatâs this supposed to mean, what is her dad trying to do? And why doesnât she have any awareness of it? There was absolutely no memory of it.
Chiang Qing grabbed the rail of the carriage with one hand, closed her eyes and thought carefully. Yesterday she made a request, she wanted Qi Taiguo to be her bodyguard for a day, but he refused. Later, Battalion commander He deployed two soldiers to guard her hospital room, but Qi Taiguo, really never showed up.
Then what?
At around eight or nine in the evening, a nurse came into the hospital room to change her medicine and give her a nutritional injection. After that, she fell asleep and upon reopening her eyes, this scene unfolded, she was on a train!
Chiang Qing staggered, biting her lower lip tightly. The nutritional injection, the problem must be with those nutritional injections. It had to be like this, those nutritional injections mustâve been tampered with, otherwise, she wouldnât have slept so deeply.
She looked out the window. The sky was already bright, the sun slowly rising from the east, but that touch of red stung Chiang Qingâs eyes!
Ridiculous, utterly ridiculous, her father, Jiang Conghe, how could he do this!
"Why, why would my dad do this!" Chiang Qing grabbed the soldierâs hand and shouted.
"Report, we only follow orders!"
Smack!
Chiang Qing slapped the soldierâs face, but the man who was hit made no reaction, standing straight, chest out, eyes fixed ahead as if the slap hadnât landed on his face.
"Aside from me, who else is on this train? What about Secretary Gao and his group?" Chiang Qing asked coldly.
"Report, I donât know!"
Chiang Qingâs eyes grew colder, she said: "I want to make a phone call. Report to the communications room, I want to make a call immediately!"
She wanted to ask her dear father, what had she done to deserve being secretly tied up and returned using such despicable means.
She is a person, not an animal, and more importantly, she is his daughter, how could he disregard her wishes?
The soldier stood motionless.
"Hurry up!" Chiang Qing slapped again, and she moved toward the carriage door first.
The soldier wanted to block her, but under her cold glare, he could only let her go.
