Will I never be able to dance again?

She let out a scream.

"Ah! My leg!"

The person on the motorcycle wore a tight helmet and mask. After the collision, he sped away at once!

Wen Shuang could not make out who it was at all.

She only felt an agony tearing through both legs.

The passersby nearby quickly gathered around her...

In the last second before she lost consciousness, she called Ji Shen.

Then everything went dark.

...

Ji Shen was still in a meeting at the police station.

He had forgotten to turn off silent mode that day.

The moment his phone rang, he instinctively rejected the call, but then, as if guided by some unseen force, he answered it.

From the other end came a voice so weak it seemed to be fading away. "Brother Shen... come save me... I was hit outside the theater..."

Before anyone else could even react, they saw the ever-composed Ji Shen suddenly change color and rush out at top speed!

By the time he arrived at the hospital, Wen Shuang had already been sent into the emergency room.

He grabbed a nearby nurse and asked, "How is the patient who was just brought in?"

Startled by his sharp gaze, the little nurse stammered, "You mean the woman from just now...? She was covered in blood, and it didn't look good at all!"

Ji Shen immediately called in his team to investigate the surveillance footage from the intersection that afternoon.

On the monitor, a man wearing a black helmet and black mask rode a speeding motorcycle straight into Wen Shuang's legs with terrifying force, flinging her clear across the road.

He did not even dare imagine how much pain she must have been in then.

Xiao Zhang moved quickly and found that the motorcycle had fake license plates.

"Dig deeper for me. Find out exactly who he is."

Seeing the look on their captain's face, Xiao Zhang felt as though he might kill someone.

"Yes, Captain Ji! We will definitely bring to justice the person who deliberately injured Sister-in-law!"

Three hours later.

After the doctor came out, Ji Shen hurried forward.

The doctor asked, "You must be the family member of the young lady inside?"

"Yes, I'm her boyfriend!" Ji Shen said, his brows tightly knit. "Doctor, how is she? Will she be able to walk again in the future?"

He knew better than anyone how important those legs were to Wen Shuang. They could be said to be her life.

And just a few days ago, Wen Shuang had been thrilled to tell him that she was about to take the principal position.

Who could have imagined this now?

"If her recovery goes well and rehabilitation is kept up afterward, she should be able to walk. It's just that her knee can no longer undergo intense activity in the future..." The doctor shook his head in pity. "Miss Wen has suffered severe damage to the meniscus."

In other words, Wen Shuang might be able to walk again, but she would never dance again.

Ji Shen looked toward the operating room.

His mind, too, had gone completely blank.

...

Wen Shuang remained unconscious for a day and a night before finally waking.

She had had a nightmare, one in which her leg was struck by a motorcycle and she could never dance again for the rest of her life!

She struggled awake.

She discovered that she was truly lying in a hospital bed. Looking lower, she saw that her legs were wrapped tightly in thick plaster casts.

She remembered the scene just before the crash...

Wen Shuang trembled violently.

She could not believe this was real.

"Shuangshuang, you're awake!"

However long Wen Shuang had been unconscious, Ji Shen had stayed by her side for just as long.

The moment he saw her open her eyes, he sat immediately by the bedside and tried to feed her water.

Yet Wen Shuang was emotionally overwhelmed. "My leg... Brother Shen, what happened to my leg..."

Ji Shen gently patted her shoulder to comfort her and said softly, "It’s only a minor injury for our Shuangshuang. You won't be unable to dance. Once you're healed, you'll still be the most dazzling fairy on stage."

Wen Shuang tried to move her leg.

She found it numb.

One might even say there was no sensation at all.

And she still remembered exactly how violently that motorcycle had slammed into her.

Wen Shuang shook her head, trembling all over. "Brother Shen, tell me the truth... Will I never be able to dance again?"

Ji Shen found that he could not even bear to meet her eyes.

He pulled her fiercely into his arms. "No, of course not. Don't overthink it!"

The woman trembled all over.

Just then, the doctor entered and examined Wen Shuang's injuries and mental state.

Afterward, he waved for Ji Shen to come outside.

"The situation is not very optimistic right now. It seems that there is no sensation below Miss Wen's legs. You need to prepare her psychologically."

Ji Shen's heart jolted hard.

"No sensation? Didn't you say she would be able to walk normally in the future?"

"There is an eighty percent chance, but there is also a twenty percent uncertainty..."

After Ji Shen returned to the ward...

Wen Shuang's emotions were even more agitated. She clutched at his sleeve. "Brother Shen, tell me the truth. Can I still dance or not? What did the doctor say to you? Tell me. I... I can take it!"

Her voice broke.

Tears filled those once alluring almond-shaped eyes.

Ji Shen could not bear it. "Shuangshuang..."

"I don't want lies. I want the truth!"

Ji Shen drew a long breath. "The doctor did say the situation is not very optimistic. Your knee meniscus has suffered a serious injury. You can still walk, but intense exercise may not be possible for the time being."

Wen Shuang let go of the hand gripping his arm and collapsed back onto the bed in despair.

"But don't lose hope. I'll find the world's most authoritative doctors for you!"

Wen Shuang burst into wrenching sobs.

"It's over, Brother Shen. I have nothing left now. Dance was the one thing I was proud of. If my legs can never dance again, then how am I supposed to fulfill my dream in the future?"

She had worked so, so hard.

She had been only one step away from the principal role!

Wen Shuang cried until she could scarcely breathe.

Ji Shen held her tightly. "Shuangshuang, I'll stay with you all the way, and I'll find the person who did this to you as soon as possible. I'll see that he faces the law!"

...

Ji Shen meant business this time.

He began searching day and night for the motorcycle with the stolen plates.

At last, late the next night, they caught the man and brought him back to the station.

The moment he was apprehended, Ji Shen took him into a private interrogation room.

With a bang, he slammed the door shut.

Then he drove a hard fist straight into the man's face.

The man's name was Li Hua. His head jerked sharply to the side.

Ji Shen struck again, then seized him by the collar. "Why did you hit Wen Shuang? Who told you to do it!"

Li Hua was caught off guard by the two solid blows and immediately started bleeding from the nose. "What are you talking about? I don't know anything. I didn't hit anyone at all!"

"Fine, still refusing to admit it, are you?" Ji Shen lashed out with a vicious kick to his chest. Li Hua let out a muffled groan and collapsed onto the floor.

At that moment, the deputy bureau chief rushed in.

"Ji Shen! You cannot use private punishment in the police station! If you keep hitting him like that, what if you beat the suspect into real injury?"

Ji Shen held Li Hua up by the collar with one hand.

There was a ruthlessness in his eyes that had never been there before.

"Then find somewhere else without surveillance cameras!"
