Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Song Xia? Matsushita? (2) _1

Xia Wan’an often receives courier packages, so she didn’t think too much about it. When she opened the box, she saw something inside that made her scream sharply. She immediately let go of the box, stepping backwards several times as if she’d been greatly frightened, until she was against the wall, looking as if she was still in shock.

Han Jingnian, who was in the dressing room changing into his casual clothes, heard Xia Wan’an’s cries. He quickly got dressed and ran out of the room, "An’an..."

Seeing Xia Wan’an huddled near the entrance, against the wall, trembling with her hand over her mouth, Jingnian’s heart wrenched. He rushed over to her, reaching out to steady her as she seemed about to collapse, "What’s wrong, An’an?"

Xia Wan’an was pale. She didn’t answer Jingnian’s question, but after a good ten seconds, she finally managed to lift one trembling hand, pointing gawkily at the courier box on the shoe cabinet.

Following Xia Wan’an’s shaking finger, Han Jingnian saw a cat in the courier box... a cat that had been skinned alive, its blood dripping gruesomely... The dead cat’s eyes were wide open...

Not to mention Xia Wan’an, even the usually calm and composed Han Jingnian felt his heart tighten at this horrendous sight. He quickly stepped forward, shutting the courier box, and then found a black trash bag in a drawer of the shoe cabinet to cover the box.

After dealing with this, Han Jingnian returned to Xia Wan’an’s side, brought her into his arms, lightly patting her back to comfort her, "There, it’s alright now..."

Xia Wan’an was still shaking severely, even her breathing became unsteady.

Han Jingnian didn’t say anything, just bent and picked her up to carry her into the bedroom.

After laying Xia Wan’an on the bed, Han Jingnian poured her a cup of warm water, "Here, sip some water to calm yourself..."

Xia Wan’an’s hand was shaking too much to lift the cup. Han Jingnian found a straw, put it in the water, and fed her some water himself, then he tried to reassure her again, "Don’t think too much, everything’s fine now..."

Xia Wan’an, who had somewhat regained her senses, gave a nod. But the thought of the bloody sight made her heartbeat accelerate involuntarily.

Seeing her like this, Han Jingnian hugged her again. He might not be good with words, but his large, warm palm, patting her back, slowly reassured her.

After a while, Han Jingnian, feeling the girl in his arms had calmed down, asked again, "Feeling any better?"

"Mm." Xia Wan’an responded softly, and after a moment, she spoke again, "That box... it was really horrible... it was so inhumane... it was truly frightening..."

Xia Wan’an vented for a while. Then, like she’d just thought of something, she asked tentatively, "Who... do you think did this?"

Han Jingnian’s eyes grew cold. Bitter rage stirred in his gaze, like he was ready to tear something apart. "Whoever did this, I’ll be sure to find them." he vowed.
