"Mu Li, when will you trust me for once?" Lin Qing scribbled on the sand with his fingers, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that all he had written was Mu Li's name.
“Mu Li…” She called softly a few times, with the corners of her mouth slightly curved.
This scene was seen by the adjutant hiding behind a tree, who also heard the calls.
Not long after leaving Xu Yuan's residential area, the adjutant found Lin Qing and followed behind according to Mu Li's instructions. Lin Qing walked very slowly along the way and almost got off at the wrong stop because he fell asleep on the bus.
The adjutant was watching from behind and felt that things were not going to go well if this continued.
Lin Qing needed to rest. Perhaps she didn't realize that her face had turned almost pale.
At this moment, Lin Qing's cell phone suddenly rang. It was Lu Xiao calling.
I guess Lu Xiao, who had just finished his work, saw the missed call and called out out of worry to ask about the situation.
Lin Qing's arms were a little sore because he had been sitting on the steps for too long, so he tried to take out his phone but failed to hold it properly. His fingers trembled, and the small white phone slipped from his hands, rolled a few times on the steps, and fell into the river with a thud.
The sound of falling into the water was very loud.
"Cell phone..." Lin Qing was stunned and stared at the river surface for a few seconds. The ripples there gradually faded away, as if nothing had happened.
Passersby who saw this scene sighed with regret: Little girl, be more careful next time!
Lin Qing looked at the river without reacting.
The tree where the adjutant was hiding was a few meters behind Lin Qing, so he couldn't see her face. He also saw the phone falling and sighed secretly.
Madam, in this condition, cannot continue to be outside in the wind.
He hardened his heart, even if it meant disobeying Mu Li's order, it would be better than watching his wife like this. So he made up his mind and went forward.
The adjutant had just taken a few steps when he saw Lin Qing standing up. He turned his head subconsciously, but then thought it didn't matter if he was seen, so he turned back.
However, in these two or three seconds, Lin Qing stood up but did not turn around. Instead, he swayed on the steps by the river, slipped, and fell into the river.
"Oh my God! Someone fell down!" The couple closest to Lin Qing saw this scene and exclaimed in shock.
A woman pushing a stroller also saw it and shouted, "Someone has fallen into the water! Come and save him!"
When the adjutant heard the sound, he suddenly realized that Lin Qing was missing.
"Was the person who fell down the woman who was sitting here just now?" The adjutant walked quickly forward and asked the young couple.
The young couple was stunned when they saw that the person who came to question them was a soldier dressed in military uniform. The boy nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, it's that woman. Her phone just fell into the water!"
The girl who was tightly held in his arms also agreed: "That's her! I saw her stand up and thought she was going to leave, but she didn't turn around, just stared at the river, and then fell in!"
According to their description, it seemed that Lin Qing, who fell into the water because he felt dizzy after standing up suddenly, jumped because of the cell phone.
The adjutant didn't care about the reasons and jumped down as well.
A few minutes later, he fished Lin Qing out.
Lin Qing choked on the water and was shivering all over, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling constantly.
"Mu Li... Mu Li..." She called a man in a low voice with her eyes closed.
Apparently, he has fallen into a coma.
Fortunately, their community was less than a hundred meters away, and Lin Qing was sent home a few minutes later.
The female doctor had to stay for a few days as ordered by Mu Li. She was in the living room and opened the door when she heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Oh my God!" The doctor was shocked when he saw the adjutant carrying the soaked Lin Qing on his back. "What's going on? Come in quickly!"
At this moment, they all forgot about Mu Li's house arrest order.
"He fell into the water." The adjutant said as he sent Lin Qing back to the master bedroom as ordered by the doctor.
"You go out first, I'll check her!" After Lin Qing was put on the bed, the doctor hurriedly asked the adjutant to leave.
Outside the room, the adjutant reported the situation to Mu Li.
"The lady fell into the water and fainted." He then roughly explained the reason, and finally deliberately emphasized Lin Qing's coma.
Mu Li on the other end of the phone was processing documents. He narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "What about now?"
"She's been sent home, and the doctor is checking her out." The adjutant looked back at the master bedroom while holding his phone, recalling how Lin Qing looked when she was rescued, and added unconsciously, "The lady was calling your name when she was rescued."
Mu Li stopped signing and listened carefully to the voice on the phone, as if he was afraid he had heard it wrong: "Are you sure?"
Maybe the person she was calling was Chen Qudong.
The adjutant was very sure and described the situation when he was hiding behind the tree. As he was speaking, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere on the other end of the phone was not right.
It seems a little gloomy.
"Got it." Mu Li interrupted him and hung up the phone coldly.
The adjutant realized that he had said too much and spoken out of turn.
After hanging up the phone, Mu Li became impatient. The documents on the table had not been processed yet, and they were all needed the next morning. He would never delay work for personal reasons, especially since he had to go to the team to check on them, which was very important.
He hardened his heart and decided that today he would not break the rules he had set because of a woman who betrayed him.
Half an hour later, the phone rang again.
The adjutant's voice became very urgent: "Commander, the lady is missing!"
"Damn it!" Mu Li cursed and punched the corner of the table. The veins on his arm bulged. "Speak clearly!"
The adjutant looked up at the equally anxious doctor standing opposite him and summarized the incident: "Madam's health is not good. She was unconscious when she came back. We just used medicine to stabilize her condition, but she didn't wake up. We wanted her to have a good rest, so we left the master bedroom. But when we went back in 20 minutes later, she was no longer in the room."
They searched not only the master bedroom, but all the rooms, even the closet that could accommodate one person.
Only Lin Qing was missing.
It was as if she had disappeared from the face of the earth.
But where can she go with her sick body
Besides, there was no reason for her to suddenly disappear.
The doctor stood aside, biting her nails. She was extremely depressed at the moment. She had only been away for a short while, so how could she disappear in the blink of an eye
After thinking about it, the only possibility was that when she and the adjutant went to the spare room to prepare medicine, Lin Qing took the opportunity to walk out.
Mu Li knocked over something on the table, and the bottle of carbon ink was thrown roughly to the ground, attracting the attention of the secretary outside the cubicle. When the secretary thought something had happened and rushed in, he only saw a pool of black ink on the ground, which was out of tune with the simple and elegant room.
"Clean up." Mu Li put on his suit jacket and walked out the door.
"Yes!" the secretary responded quickly, but suddenly felt something was wrong, "But you still haven't finished reading the documents..."
Before he could finish his words, Mu Li had already disappeared.
It was the first time that the secretary saw Mu Li so angry, and he was so frightened that he couldn't recover for a while.
Mu Li walked into the private elevator, and his eyes tightened the moment the door closed.
Can't this woman be a little more obedient
Half an hour later, Mu Li returned home.
"Commander!" After opening the door, the adjutant and another subordinate greeted him at the door.
"Where is the person? Have you found him?" Mu Li went straight to the second floor without changing his shoes.
The adjutant followed behind him with a serious expression: "Not yet."
Mu Li looked over coldly, his thin lips tightly pursed, and it was obvious that he was enduring it.
It was hard to tell whether there was anger or anxiety in his eyes.
The doctor just checked the details of the room again. Apart from a missing coat hanging on the corner of the bed, there should be no other problems.
It seems that Lin Qing didn't just go to take a shower like last time, but really went out.
But she still has a fever!
Seeing Mu Li going upstairs, the doctor stood aside and didn't dare to speak.
She was ordered to treat Lin Qing's illness, but instead of curing the illness, she lost the person.
Mu Li stood in the middle of the master bedroom and looked around. He looked at the doctor again with cold eyes: "Is there anything abnormal about her?"
"Abnormal?" The doctor had thought about this, but there was really nothing wrong.
Lin Qing has been in a coma since he was brought back. He didn't even have a chance to speak. How could it be abnormal
At this moment, the adjutant's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "When we rescued the lady, she kept calling your name."
Mu Li frowned.
What kind of abnormality is this
The adjutant continued, "I felt something was wrong at the time, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Later I thought about it and realized that the lady had been holding her right hand."
That's right, this is the place that makes him feel there is something wrong.
When she carried Lin Qing back, she kept holding on to his right hand, and she almost choked the adjutant's neck because she used too much force.
Right hand, calling his name...
Mu Li slowly clenched his fists and strode out of the room.
"Where is the place where she fell into the water!"
After noon, the sky became a little gloomy, dark clouds blocked the sun, and the ground lost its warmth again.
On an afternoon like this, few people would be willing to sit idly by the river, especially when there is a chilly cold wind blowing.
At the riverside, the temperature was several degrees lower than elsewhere. Lin Qing was only wearing a knee-length skirt and a thin jacket, so she naturally felt the chill.
But what can she do
The river appears calm on the surface, but is actually turbulent. Just as her face is pale and silent at this moment, her heart is already turbulent.
Lin Qing clenched his right hand tightly, not daring to let go at all.
The ring, her ring is gone!
The river was very long and it took her a long time to find the place where she had just sat. Her name, which she had written with her own hands, was still on the sand there, but it had faded a lot after being hit by the river water.
right here.
This must be where her ring fell!
Lin Qing recalled several times and was sure that she accidentally dropped the ring when she fell into the water. However, she tried to grab it but couldn't reach it, and then she was pulled ashore by the adjutant.
She shifted her gaze to the river, her eyes filled with unusual calmness and peace.
As long as you look for it, you will definitely find it!
The mantra-like voice in her heart kept ringing, urging her feet to move.
One step, two steps, Lin Qing crossed the sand with Mu Li's name written on it and got closer and closer to the river.
She finally let go of her right hand and stretched her arm far ahead. What she saw was the endless river.
The breeze blows, and ripples appear on the surface of the river.
"Ring, my ring..." Lin Qing's voice was so soft that it seemed like it could be blown away by the wind.
Her legs involuntarily took a few steps forward, her canvas shoes were gradually wetted by the river water, and her feet slowly sank into the water.
She must find it.
The river water was warm and cool. Stepping into the water that was above his knees, Lin Qing felt his body getting heavier and heavier. The further he walked, the more strenuous each step became.
"Lin Qing!"
Mu Li saw Lin Qing walking towards the water from a few meters away, and yelled, trying to get her to stop.
