"How is sister (Xiaoxue)?"
Qin Hao came out of Mu Qianxue's bedroom sweating profusely. Lin Xinyi and Mu Qianjun, who were anxiously waiting for news at the door, asked almost in unison.
At this moment, Qin Hao's face was a little gloomy, and he was obviously tired and lacked energy and blood. If the seal hadn't been loosened a few days ago, and he could draw a lot more energy, he might have fainted from exhaustion again this time.
It's strange to say that the seal set by the old bald donkey would loosen a lot every time Qin Hao suppressed the Xuanyin energy for Mu Qianxue, as if Mu Qianxue was the key to the seal. It was the same this time, for Mu Qianxue. After suppressing the restless Xuanyin energy, Qin Hao only felt that the seal was loosened again.
Is it possible that the old bald donkey did this intentionally
Shaking his head and putting aside the speculation in his mind, Qin Hao touched Mu Qianjun's hair gently and nodded slightly: "It's fine now. It's just your sister who is weak and overworked. She was frightened today. So she needs to rest for the time being, I gave her some nutrient solution, you go in and take care of her, be gentle and don't wake her up."
"Yes, I understand, brother-in-law." Mu Qianjun opened the door and walked in quietly.
"Did you call Xiaojun back?" Qin Hao leaned on the railing on the second floor, glanced at Lin Xinyi, who was expressionless and extremely indifferent, and asked in a low voice.
"Yes. I also informed Uncle Mu. We are in the living room on the first floor. I think they, as family members, need to know." Lin Xinyi looked at Mu Qianxue, who was lying on the bed haggardly, through the gap in the door. His expression was extremely complicated, and the look he looked at Qin Hao became very disappointed.
"What on earth is going on? Didn't you say that you and Hua Ximeng were inspecting the research institute together? How could Xiaoxue become like this? Aren't you very powerful? Why did you let Xiaoxue get hurt? Where are the murderers? Why did you let them run away? I I gave Xiaoxue to you not because she was injured and in pain, but because you are stronger than me and I hope you can protect her better! But what does this mean? I just gave up, and you let her get hurt. What does this mean to you? What’s powerful?”
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Qin Hao leaned on the railing with his head lowered, took out a cigarette, and put it back after thinking that Mu Qianxue was still resting inside, his voice was extremely low.
Qin Hao had no intention of refuting Lin Xinyi's accusation.
That's right, not only Lin Xinyi felt that Mu Qianxue was hurt because Qin Hao didn't protect her well, but Qin Hao himself thought so too.
If he had been more careful, more vigilant, arrived earlier, watched more closely, followed Mu Qianxue in, and been more enthusiastic about this project, maybe Mu Qianxue would not have been harmed.
Everything comes down to his ego.
"I don't want to hear your apology. If an apology is useful, why do you still need my profession? I just want to know, where is the murderer? How can I catch it. Also, what happened in the laboratory? So what exactly happened? What kind of project is it and why does it bring such great danger? What is Xiaoxue doing? "
Lin Xinyi stared at Qin Hao and questioned word by word.
Qin Hao sighed and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I don't know the specific project. No one knows except Xiaoxue and President Hua, and they didn't tell me. As for the accident in the laboratory, it's just that I, a conceited fool, was It’s a fool, and it’s useless even if you know it. It’s better to go in and take care of Xiaoxue.”
"Where's the murderer? Why didn't you mention the murderer?" Lin Xinyi stared directly into Qin Hao's eyes, obviously seeing that Qin Hao had deliberately ignored it.
Qin Hao felt a headache and said helplessly: "I didn't mention it, but it's useless to mention it. The murderer has already run away."
"So what if he runs away? If the murderer runs away and forgets it, then why do you need me? How many unsolved cases are there in this world? If you provide information, I will ask the superiors to issue a wanted order and the murderer is wanted nationwide!" Lin Xinyi He was very dissatisfied with Qin Hao's silent and passive attitude, and the look of disappointment in his eyes was even worse, as if he was sad for his misfortune and angry at him.
Qin Hao was really a little impatient now. He was already in a bad mood because what happened today made him think about something. It was precisely because of these things that he understood that he was too conceited. As a result, Mu Qianxue was injured and almost had a big problem.
He was full of guilt at the moment, as if he had returned to six years ago, when his brothers died in front of him and turned into a handful of dust. Although the most critical reason for that tragedy was the appearance of a spy in the military, General All their information was revealed, leading them to embark on the road to death. However, it is also true that his overly conceited arrangements accelerated the death process.
"What's the use of you caring about this? The relevant departments will naturally take over. There is no need for you police to intervene. Even if you do find it, you will only die because you are too weak! You can't subdue and capture the murderer at all!" Qin Hao said a little irritably, with a bad attitude. The violent anger that he had suppressed in the laboratory surged in his chest again. He felt uncomfortable and wanted to vent.
"So, what's the use of asking the murderer? Are you going to die? Besides, you have been suspended from work now! If I were you, I would do something within my power, such as taking care of Xiaoxue, and stop thinking about things you can't change at all. thing!"
Lin Xinyi was silent, her eyes still staring at Qin Hao, but she was a little sad. Finally, she turned around and pushed the door open, leaving a light sentence, as if she was asking Qin Hao, but also as if she was introspecting.
"It turns out that I am still too weak and not strong enough..."
Although he thought Lin Xinyi's appearance just now was a bit weird, he couldn't understand a woman's thoughts, let alone a woman who was in charge of Lily, so he didn't think too much about it and went downstairs to the living room.
At this moment, Mu Ruidong was sitting on the sofa in the living room drinking tea. He seemed calm and elegant, but when Qin Hao appeared, the hand holding the tea cup shook slightly, and a little water stain spilled clearly told Qin Hao that he was still Mu Qianxue was very nervous.
"Is Xiaoxue okay?" Mu Ruidong put down his tea cup and asked seemingly casually.
Qin Hao walked to sit opposite him and nodded: "Well, it's okay. I'm resting now."
"It's okay." Mu Ruidong breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his swollen temples, and said with a smile: "Looking at you like this, you seem to be in a bad mood? Is it because of Xiaoxue?"
"Yeah." Qin Hao didn't hide anything and said frankly: "I didn't protect Xiaoxue today. I knew clearly that she was in a bad situation recently. There were many people staring at her, and I was so arrogant that I had everything under control. I almost It’s all my fault if it leads to a big disaster.”
After listening to Qin Hao's words, Mu Ruidong smiled quite happily, and his eyes became gentle, as if he was looking at his junior. He handed Qin Hao a cigarette and lit one himself: " You, actually have the same temperament as Xiaoxue. Sometimes I wonder if God has already arranged it, so the fate of you two will be intertwined because of that marriage contract. Although you usually look carefree and playful, in fact, you are really How come you are not lonely and awkward? People, there will always be times when the horse stumbles, and it is not a good thing to hold on.
If I didn't ask today, you would definitely bury these in your heart and blame yourself all the time. But have you ever thought that, in my opinion, you have done much better than many people. If it weren't for you, something might have happened to Xiaoxue today. As her father, I can't protect her, but you can. When I first met you, I also asked myself whether it was right or wrong to tie you and Xiaoxue together. At that time, I was not sure yet, so I just tried to take it one step at a time. "
Having said this, Mu Ruidong paused and spoke again: "Now, I can finally feel at ease. You have done much better than my incompetent father. Xiaoxue has also changed a lot. So, Qin Hao, From now on, Xiaoxue will be left to you." (To be continued)
