Lu Xiao shrugged and leaned back on the head of the bed: "I can't tell, it's too blurry. Chen Qudong, why don't you get a high-definition photo?" His tone was full of accusation.
Lin Qing understood everything.
She took another look at the contents of the paper. In addition to the photos, there were also some serial numbers and marks, indicating that this was a picture from the surveillance video. She still remembered that after Lu Xiao came out of the operating room, she begged Mu Li the first thing she did: "Help me find the person who hit her, okay?"
Seeing her eyes full of eagerness and pleading, Mu Li finally nodded.
It turned out that they were all lies to her.
She was so panicked and scared that she regarded him as her only support, but in return, she was hurt and lied to him one after another. The next day, Mu Li told her: "The surveillance video was destroyed. Someone must have planned it in advance. Don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
She didn't think much about it at that time. Mu Li's big hand rubbed her hair gently. When she looked up, she found a hint of some hidden emotion in his eyes. Now she finally understood.
His gentleness towards her was just to make her feel the cruelty of this moment!
She really thought that he had fallen in love with her. His deep black eyes always attracted her deeply, as if she couldn't escape no matter how hard she tried. She thought she had done it.
"Okay, I understand." Lin Qing's pupils seemed to have lost focus, wandering aimlessly on the gray-white sheets. She had no strength in her body, and the piece of paper slipped out of her fingers and floated to Mu Li's feet.
He knew she didn't believe him.
Lin Qing's petite body swayed slightly twice, avoiding Chen Qudong who was about to reach out for her help, and walked to the bedside and pressed the call button. Half a minute later, the nurse came, and as soon as she stepped into the ward, she felt the depressing and dull atmosphere.
"What's wrong?" The nurse didn't dare to look at Mu Li standing beside her, and walked to the bedside to ask.
Lin Qing pointed at the IV bottle and said, "It's time to change the medicine." The liquid in the tube was decreasing at a constant speed.
"Oh, OK, I'll be right there." The nurse took a look and hurried to get the medicine. If she was any later, the blood would flow back into the syringe.
Lin Qing's eyes were cool, and she didn't show much emotion. Lu Xiao rarely saw her like this, so he pushed Lin Qing with his hand that wasn't piercing the needle: "Hey, don't jump to conclusions. I don't think it was necessarily someone sent by your husband."
Lu Xiao emphasized Mu Li's identity in the hope that Lin Qing would not be too impulsive.
Lin Qing's lips curled slightly, but she couldn't even smile. She stood at the head of the bed for a long time: "I'm sorry."
One apology expressed all her emotions.
She apologized for herself and Mu Li.
It turns out that trusting someone is so difficult, and in the end none of them did it.
"Lin Qing, don't be like this." Lu Xiao shook Lin Qing's arm and was about to speak again when the nurse came in with a bottle of medicine.
Lin Qing stepped aside and stood quietly waiting for the nurse to change the dressing. When the nurse finished changing the dressing and was about to leave, she glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Why are you so pale? Are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Qing finally managed to force a smile: "I'm fine, thank you."
The young nurse felt a cold gaze on the back of her neck, and she didn't dare to ask any more questions before leaving. After leaving the room, the nurse dared to secretly look inside the room. Oh my god, no wonder it was so horrifying, she was just being stared at by Master Mu. When she looked again, Mu Li's sinister gaze fell on Lin Qing.
"I told you I would find out who that person is. Why do you look so upset and aggrieved?" Mu Li pulled Lin Qing into his arms. He couldn't bear to see this woman looking like she was about to cry.
Lin Qing lowered her head and didn't look at him. She didn't know how to start the conversation.
"No words?" Mu Li frowned, "Are you still doubting that I hired someone to bump into you?"
Lin Qing bit her lip and looked even quieter with her eyelashes drooping.
"Lin Qing!" Mu Li's tone became more serious, and he tightened his arm around her waist, "Look at me and talk!"
Lin Qing responded softly, and after a long while she raised her little face, her clear eyes shrouded in a thin layer of mist: "I don't know..." What should she do to believe without hesitation
Chen Qudong picked up the paper on the ground and held it in front of Lin Qing: "Lin Qing, did you see the person above? He is his subordinate. Although Lu Xiao didn't say it just now, her expression clearly admitted it! Why don't you believe that he did it? He hired someone to hit Lu Xiao because he couldn't stand the fact that Lu Xiao helped you find the ring. Tell me, how can you still love such a person!"
Chen Qudong's words hit Lin Qing's heart hard.
She didn't know that all this was related to Chen Qudong. She just thought that Mu Li was really dissatisfied with Lu Xiao because of the ring. This was also what she couldn't understand. Wouldn't it be too cruel for Mu Li to ask someone to hit Lu Xiao just for this reason
But she couldn't think of any other reason.
Her hands turned cold instantly, and Mu Li could sense her confused thoughts.
"Chen Qudong, I don't want to say this again," Mu Li looked at Chen Qudong with sinister eyes, and uttered only one word from his thin lips, "Get lost."
"Did you see that? He was so angry that he wanted me to get out!" Chen Qudong became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at Mu Li's arm with veins bulging. "Lin Qing, you also saw me being stopped by him at noon today. He threatened me at that time not to care about this matter, otherwise he would kill me!"
Lin Qing was slightly startled, and raised his eyes to find Mu Li's gaze. Mu Li frowned slightly, but did not speak. He never liked to explain, and he would not explain in this situation.
Lin Qing recalled the situation at that time. Although he didn't hear what they said, the cold aura on Mu Li was indeed scary. Was he really threatening the senior
Seeing Lin Qing's hesitation, Chen Qudong continued, "Think about it again. What is the identity of Commander Mu? If he really wanted to investigate this matter, why would he have waited until now without any news?"
Lin Qing's heart trembled and she felt cold. As long as Mu Li opened his mouth, there was nothing he couldn't investigate. Lin Qing still remembered that once Mu Li thought she was missing, and he searched the entire city of A in one day. Now it shouldn't be difficult to find a video of a traffic accident.
"I, I don't know... Impossible..." Lin Qing shook her head violently. Her reaction proved that she was shaken.
Every word Chen Qudong said was something Lin Qing didn't want to hear, and Mu Li didn't explain anything from beginning to end. She really didn't know what to do. Two completely opposite villains popped up in her head, one pulling her nerves to the left, and the other holding her tightly on the right and refusing to let go.
"Lin Qing, if you don't believe it, I have more evidence. Come with me and I'll take you to see it!" Chen Qudong said as he was about to step forward and grab Lin Qing's arm.
How could Mu Li let Chen Qudong take the woman in his arms away? He held Lin Qing to his side with one hand, and fiercely blocked Chen Qudong with the other hand while turning his outstretched arm. This time he didn't hesitate, and with a creak and a scream, Chen Qudong's arm was dislocated.
"I've said before, anyone who dares to touch my woman is seeking death." Mu Li threw his hand away in disgust.
Chen Qudong's arm was half dislocated, so he could only use his other hand to protect it. He took a few steps back and glared at Mu Li: "You want to harm me just because I found evidence!"
Mu Li sneered. If he wanted to make someone disappear, did he have to do it himself
After all, it was a fact that Chen Qudong's arm was dislocated. Lin Qing was in a state of confusion. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but speak with a little more anxiety: "Senior, go find a doctor first."
Mu Li lowered his head and grasped Lin Qing's chin, narrowing his eyes and approaching her pink lips that were about to be bitten: "If you are worried about him, you might as well worry more about yourself."
Lin Qing's eyes flickered and became a little blurry. She looked at the man's black eyes that were getting closer and closer, and suddenly pushed him away: "Mu Li, stop making trouble! Lu Xiao is already lying on the hospital bed, do you still want to see the senior get hurt?"
She spoke completely unconsciously and hadn't realized what she had said yet.
When he came back to his senses, Mu Li's eyes were already cold.
She suspected him mercilessly, but she even accepted all of Chen Qudong's lies. What was in this woman's head
"Say it again, what's wrong with me?" Mu Li's voice clearly showed suppressed anger, and his eyes were filled with a heavy sense of hostility.
Lin Qing didn't mean to blame anyone, but once she said it, it was hard to take it back. She looked at Mu Li with her lips slightly opened, but she couldn't say a word. Thinking about how stubborn she was in front of him before, she didn't even know how to explain herself now.
Mu Li's chest was burning with anger. He dragged Lin Qing's white arm and pressed her into his arms. He lowered his head and bit her soft lips. Lin Qing was stunned for a moment, staring at Mu Li with wide eyes.
“Hmm…” Lin Qing waved her two little hands a few times, but were held tightly by Mu Li.
A deep kiss almost suffocated Lin Qing.
Mu Li let Lin Qing go. Her cheeks flushed. Mu Li wiped her lips with his fingertips. She subconsciously turned her head and saw Chen Qudong who was still standing next to her.
"Study..." Before she could utter the word "Learn", her lips were already pressed by cold fingers.
"You haven't left yet?" Mu Li gave him a cold look.
"You want me to get out of here after you hurt me? Mu Li, you're really awesome. No wonder you hired someone to hit Lu Xiao openly and yet you appear here as if nothing happened!" If someone wants to throw a basin of dirty water on you, they will not let go of any chance.
This sentence made Lin Qing silent. She suddenly remembered Lu Xiao's injury, and then thought of the kiss just now... God! What was she doing in the ward
Lin Qing dodged to the side and broke free from Mu Li's arms.
"Stop talking and let me think about it myself." Lin Qing walked to another bed and sat down along the edge of it.
"Do you still need to think about it?" Chen Qudong grabbed Lin Qing with his undislocated hand and dragged her out of the ward before she could react. "No need to waste time talking to him here! Let's go!"
Lin Qing walked unsteadily and slipped when she reached the door. Chen Qudong was unable to hold her tightly because his other hand was dislocated, and it was too late for him to turn around to help Lin Qing.
With a thud, Lin Qing fell heavily to the ground.
"Stupid." Lin Qing's eyes blurred, and when he came back to his senses, he was picked up by a pair of steady and strong arms. Mu Li's eyes were still cold, and he lowered his head and looked at Lin Qing indifferently.
"Put me down!" Lin Qing didn't know where he got the strength from, and he kicked his legs to struggle free.
"Why didn't I notice you being so noisy before?" Mu Li frowned, tightened his arms around Lin Qing and shook him, "If you move again, I'll throw you down."
There were doctors, nurses and patients in the corridor. When they heard the fall, they all looked away. It turned out that the source of the sound was a quarreling young couple. After a few seconds, everyone went on with their own business.
