"Miss Qi's name."
"Um."
He responded indifferently.
She walked over slowly and took the phone in her hand. She leaned on the desk, not realizing how attractive this posture was, whether for a woman or a man. She slowly clicked on the message with her long fingers. However, the moment she saw the content of the message, all the smiles stopped. Then, they turned into a coldness like winter.
There were only a few simple words in the message: The medicine has been thrown away.
Good job.
His baby Qiqi is becoming more and more courageous now!
In these eight years, it seems that he has missed too much...
—
Qiqi finished sending the message and her eyes stayed on the computer screen in front of her. She pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time before she pressed the delete key again. She took a deep breath, the screen flickered, and the photo disappeared.
She sighed softly, her mind becoming heavier.
—————
Two days later.
weekend.
Qiqi was about to go to the supermarket when she received a strange phone call.
"Ms. Qi? I'm Officer Huang whom I met last time."
"Hello."
"We need to record a confession now, so could you please go to Tang Sect today?"
"..." Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and then she subconsciously refused, "Officer Huang, I will go directly to the police station to record my statement."
"This happened to you and Young Master Tang, so it's best to record your statements together. It will also be more convenient to check for omissions and fill in the gaps."
"Then please ask Mr. Tang to go to the police station with you."
Officer Huang smiled awkwardly, "How can we invite Young Master Tang's Buddha? Besides, even if we can, it's not possible now. Mr. Tang got sick right after returning from a business trip, and he can't go out for a breeze now. So, you see, Miss Qi, if it's convenient for you, why don't you accommodate us? This case has been hanging for a week, it has to be solved, right?"
"Is he sick? What's wrong with him?" Qiqi asked subconsciously. After asking, she felt that her question was unnecessary.
But I want to know the answer.
Officer Huang said, "I don't know about that. As an outsider, how dare I ask so many questions? Right?"
Qiqi pursed her lips. She stood there, thinking for a while, and finally said, "Then let's meet at Tang's house later."
"Okay, Miss Qi, thank you for your cooperation."
————
Qiqi didn't go to the supermarket. She went back to change her clothes before going out.
When she arrived at Tang's house, it was already an hour later. She paid the fare and got off. Her foot was not fully healed yet, so it was not very convenient for her to walk. She glanced at the entire square and did not see the police car. It seemed that Officer Huang had not arrived yet.
Qiqi had to go in alone.
—
Tang Jue was very ill, with a high fever of nearly 40°. He was groggy and sweating coldly while lying on the bed.
He had always been a very stubborn and disobedient patient, and would never get an injection if he could avoid it. Tang Song had no choice but to give him some physical treatment to reduce his fever. As a result, he and the people who took care of him were all very tired, but the fever still did not go away.
Tang Song and Jian Qing were already planning to take advantage of Tang Jue's illness to subdue him and give him an injection to end the disease once and for all.
However, this is just a thought.
If they really dare to do this, when Tang Jue recovers, they will probably be beaten silly in the boxing ring. Tang Jue's fists are hard and fierce.
"Young Master, Miss Qi is here." When everyone in the room was busy doing physical treatments to reduce his fever, the housekeeper pushed the door open.
Tang Jue, who was still groggy, raised his eyes slightly when he heard the housekeeper's words, "Who?"
He thought he had heard wrongly.
Tang Song stood up and clicked on a surveillance video beside his bed, "Qiqi."
"She? Looking for me?" Tang Jue glanced at Tang Song again, his eyes turned cold again, "Or is she looking for you?"
Tang Song teased him with a smile, "Brother, could it be...she knew you were sick, so she came to visit you specially?"
Tang Jue didn't fall for his trick at all, "She didn't even know I was sick."
Moreover, even if she knew, how could the woman who was so anxious to cut off ties with him walk into the tiger's mouth
Jian Qing coughed aside. Although he didn't want to disappoint the sick young master, he still had to tell the truth.
"Miss Qi is here today, it should be about Officer Huang. Officer Huang called today and said he wants to record a statement."
Although he knew that she must not come here for him, Tang Jue's face really turned cold when he heard Jian Qing's words. He only said two words willfully, "No recording!"
Jian Qing nodded, "Okay, I'll go down and tell Miss Qi and Officer Huang later."
After he finished speaking, he stole a glance at someone's expression, then turned and walked out.
Tang Jue frowned, "Come back here!"
If she didn't record it, would Qiqi still be able to stay in this house? She was afraid that sitting there for one more minute would be torture.
Tang Jue turned and looked at the monitor.
That slender figure appeared on the screen. She was well behaved today and knew to wear flat shoes. She was wearing a white shirt and a floral skirt, with her hair hanging down behind her.
She reminded him of the girl under the cherry tree eight years ago...
She is still the same as she was when she was 16 years old, and nothing seems to have changed.
However, many things are clearly different...
At least, things are different between them.
Tang Jue retracted his gaze and propped himself up to get up from the bed. He had been feverish until now, and his whole body was weak. No matter how strong he was in the past, now he was no different from an embroidered pillow.
However, Tang Jue looked more and more like a beauty walking out of a painting. Wearing loose pajamas, she looked more charming and seductive than a woman.
Tang Song was dazzled by what he saw. He choked and said fearlessly, "Brother, if you were a woman, I would definitely have sex with you while you were sick."
"Get lost!" Tang Jue picked up a pillow and threw it at him, "I'll beat you to death later!"
How dare you set your sights on him? You must be tired of living!
Tang Song hugged the pillow and said "tsk" several times, "Sure enough, the magic of love cannot be underestimated. With Qiqi here, the illness has been cured by half, right?"
"Jian Qing, help me throw this guy out."
"Yes, young master."
"Also, throw away all the bottles and jars in his lab. What a waste of space."
"Um."
"Damn it!" Tang Song jumped up, ran out of the room and ran to the laboratory, "Whoever dares to touch my laboratory, I will fight him. Once and for all!"
Tang Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the figure running away.

Qiqi sat down in the hall, and the housekeeper poured her tea. She wanted to ask about Tang Jue's condition several times, but in the end, all she said was, "Housekeeper, Officer Huang said he would come today to record the statement. He said Young Master Tang is ill, so is it okay to record the statement, or... or do you need me to come another day?"
