She had watched silently for a long time just now, and she felt that the emotion in Mu Li's eyes was not fake. How could a man who could look at Lin Qing so affectionately do something that would harm Lin Qing's friends? Moreover, everyone knew that Commander Mu had always acted uprightly. If he really wanted Lu Xiao to die, he would never do it in this way.
Lin Qing felt as heavy as if she were filled with lead. She stared at Mu Li in a daze. What was she doing? Why did she doubt him for no reason
She should know exactly where he was and what he did last night! But she asked him such a stupid question just now, and he even came to find her and said he wanted to take her out for dinner...
How long has it been since they had a good meal together? Lin Qingqing closed her eyes but couldn't remember it. It was so long, so long that she had become accustomed to this cold man and gradually forgot how gentle he used to be.
As this thought flashed through her mind, Lin Qing's legs involuntarily chased after Mu Li. She ran over and used her small body to block the elevator, her eyes wide open.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I just..." Lin Qing was about to speak when the elevator behind him dinged and a gloomy man walked out. The man was slightly startled when he saw Lin Qing blocking the elevator door, and then spoke softly.
"Lin Qing?" The all-too-familiar voice prompted Lin Qing to turn around.
Chen Qudong walked out of the elevator with his hands behind his back and a solemn expression. He saw Lin Qing at a glance, then looked back over Lin Qing's shoulder. The owner of the cold eyes that swept across him was indeed Mu Li.
he came.
Chen Qudong's lips curled up silently into an unknown smile, and he focused his gaze back on Lin Qing.
"Senior..." Lin Qing wanted to ask him why he came, but changed his mind and said, "Are you here to see Lu Xiao too?"
Hearing the tone in which Lin Qing mentioned Lu Xiaoshi, Chen Qudong guessed that the operation was not over yet.
Chen Qudong gave a warm look, and he appeared much calmer in comparison.
Lin Qing suddenly collapsed. There was no trace of her stubbornness on her face. Being looked at by Chen Qudong, she was anxious and nervous: "Senior, do you know what happened to Lu Xiao? Were you with her last night?"
She didn't know whether Chen Qudong knew about it. She asked this question just to get some hopeful answers. Maybe... Lu Xiao's accident was indeed just an accident.
Chen Qudong did not answer, but glanced at the man behind her with a half-smile, and looked at him long enough before pursing his lips: "I just found out that she was in trouble, and I was not with her last night."
Lin Qing was slightly disappointed. She should have guessed it long ago. She paused, lowered her eyes, turned around and grabbed Mu Li's sleeve: "I'm sorry... I was too impulsive, Mu Li, I didn't mean that just now..."
Mu Li straightened his back without moving. When Lin Qing turned to him, he saw Chen Qudong looking at him with an ambiguous smile. In an instant, Mu Li understood.
"Why don't you ask your senior what is going on?" Mu Li pushed her hand away.
Chen Qudong frowned slightly, not understanding what Mu Li was saying. He looked at Lin Qing tenderly and comforted her, "I really don't know. Lin Qing, Lu Xiao is such a good person, nothing will happen to him."
But the more Lin Qing talked, the more nervous he became.
"But now that I think of it, I remember something." Chen Qudong thought for a while, not quite sure, "I had originally planned to meet her last night, but she called me in the evening and asked if she could cancel it. She said someone had asked her to go to Yinghao, and it seemed that she had done something."
Chen Qudong spoke very sincerely and mentioned Yinghao, so Lin Qing had no reason not to believe him.
Seeing that Chen Qudong remained calm, Mu Li sneered, "Mr. Chen, your acting skills are worthy of an Oscar."
Chen Qudong looked even more confused and glanced at Lin Qing: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do, but that's how it is. I went somewhere else later, and I just received the news that Lu Xiao was in trouble, so I rushed here immediately."
"Didn't she say she was going to meet someone?" Lin Qing spoke unconsciously, and only heard what he asked after he finished speaking.
By asking this, doesn't it mean that she is suspicious of Mu Li
Mu Li crossed his arms as if he was watching a free show, his narrow eyes revealing a deep and mysterious look.
"No, he just mentioned that he would go to your company after get off work, and it seemed that he would give you something." Chen Qudong said slowly, and it seemed that he was not the same person who blocked Mu Li's door yesterday afternoon.
"So, she is going to meet someone related to that thing?" Lin Qing clenched his hands tightly, and the moment he asked, he realized that he didn't want to hear any answer at all.
Maybe sometimes the truth without an answer is the best.
But Chen Qudong's voice had already reached his ears: "It seems so."
People who are related to that thing...
Lin Qing froze, she wanted to force a smile and ask Mu Li, she wanted to hear him say that these were all lies. But at the end of her smile she realized that she couldn't laugh at all, her whole body was stiff and she couldn't move.
Mu Li laughed coldly from above: "That's a good point. You said so much, but it's all just speculation. Is there anything you are 100% sure of?"
Chen Qudong's eyes showed regret and ruthlessness: "If I were 100% sure, I would go find that person and settle the score right now!"
Settle the score? Mu Li looked at him coldly. Why didn't he realize that Chen Qudong's acting was so good before
According to Lu Xiao's personality, even if Mu Li threatened her over the phone, she would not back down. Instead, she would rush to Mu Li and let him wait for her. Lu Xiao was so frank and straightforward, without any ulterior motives.
Lin Qing's tears flowed out unconsciously, sliding down her face hotly.
"Why are you crying?" Mu Li's eyes pierced, and he turned Lin Qing's face and forced her to turn towards him, "Stupid woman, do you believe what he says?"
Lin Qing's mind was in a mess. To be honest, she didn't know who to trust and who not to trust. But no matter what, she felt that this matter must be related to her. Thinking this way, it didn't matter who did it. What mattered was that Lu Xiao was like this because of her...
If something happened to Lu Xiao, what should she do? How should she face Lu Xiao
She remembered that when she had just met Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao was drunk and patted her shoulder and said, Lin Qing, let’s be friends. I will protect you in the company from now on.
She could even remember the smile on Lu Xiao's face when she was slightly drunk, so brilliant and dazzling...
"Lin Qing, what I said is true." Chen Qudong emphasized his tone, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Qing's wrist, "I don't have to lie to you, I also know that Lu Xiao is your good friend."
Mu Li frowned and stretched out his hand to push Chen Qudong away: "Get lost if you've cheated enough!"
"I didn't lie..." Chen Qudong defended.
"Okay. I don't want to hear any more." Lin Qing stopped sobbing, her shoulders still trembling slightly, and her raised face left light traces of tears, "Don't say anything, I want to go see Lu Xiao."
Lin Qing dodged Chen Qudong's hand and pushed away Mu Li's hand. Deep in the corridor, a small figure walked towards the operating room, taking every step very slowly.
In front of the elevator, Chen Qudong looked at Lin Qing's back and was about to follow him. Mu Li ran out of patience and grabbed his arm and threw him against the wall.
Chen Qudong frowned, pain spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"You knew she was her friend, yet you still dared to do that?" Mu Li glanced at her coldly and straightened the wrinkles on his suit.
Chen Qudong looked confused: "I have never understood what Commander Mu is talking about since just now."
"Stop pretending!" If this wasn't a hospital, Mu Li would definitely take action. "You hired someone to hit Lu Xiao, didn't you just want to put the blame on me so that Lin Qing would hate me?"
Only a stupid woman like Lin Qing would believe such a crude trick!
"Hasn't Commander Mu lost his memory? Why do you still care so much about whether Lin Qing will resent you?" Chen Qudong's pupils narrowed, inexplicable jealousy surged in his heart, and a smile was still on the corner of his lips.
The thing Mu Li didn't want to hear the most was amnesia. Could it be the reason for so many things just because he had lost his memory
"Even if I have lost my memory, it is not your turn to interfere here." Mu Li's gaze moved towards the elevator. His brows relaxed slightly when he saw the number displayed on it. With a ding, the elevator door opened.
Two or three people came out of the elevator. Mu Li's angle was just right to see everything inside. The elevator was empty. He turned his head and gestured to Chen Qudong who was standing by the wall: "Mr. Chen, I don't want to see you here again."
"You don't get to say that." Chen Qudong was in great pain from the collision just now, and his face was still twitching with pain. After he stood up straight, he walked in front of Mu Li and said, "We'll know if Lin Qing will believe us after we give it a try. Even if some unpleasant things happened in the past, in her heart I am the senior she has secretly loved for many years, and no one can change that."
He deliberately emphasized the word "secret love" and saw Mu Li's face suddenly darken.
"Why, has she been avoiding this topic in front of you?" Chen Qudong's painful face suddenly broke into a smile, "That's right, after all, you are just a way for her to forget me. If you compete with me fairly, Mu Li, you are no match for me."
He spoke with full confidence, as if Lin Qing would come over obediently as long as he waved his hand. But his words hit Mu Li's sore spot.
Lin Qing always avoided topics related to Chen Qudong, always saying that he was just a senior, but... Mu Li narrowed his eyes.
It's not that he didn't know that Lin Qing had a crush on Chen Qudong, but no woman would cling to a man she doesn't love. Only then did Mu Li understand that even if he really believed in the other person, he would still feel heartbroken when he heard these words with his own ears.
Outside the operating room, Lin Qing dragged her long shadow to the bench and sat down. Her eyes were dull and she didn't even hear Xiaoke calling her.
"Lin Qing? Are you okay?" Xiao Ke pushed Lin Qing gently out of concern, but Lin Qing did not respond.
"Lin Qing?" Xiao Ke called out again, thinking, could it be that he didn't catch up? That didn't make sense, how could he have been gone for so long if he didn't catch up
Lin Qing kept repeating Chen Qudong's words over and over in her mind, and every word was enough to defeat her.
She never thought that just wanting to stay with Mu Li would cause so many things to happen.
Xiao Ke called out twice more but got no response. Just as she was about to speak, she saw a man walking down the corridor. The man was handsome and had gentle eyes, especially when he looked at Lin Qing with a warm and affectionate look. Xiao Ke was startled. The aura between the man's eyebrows was completely different from Mu Li's, which made her feel warm in her heart.
