Lin Qing followed those people silently and went outside the warehouse to get on the ambulance.
"Sorry, no one can get on." The medical staff at the outermost part had not yet sat down, but frowned when he saw Lin Qing was about to get on the car.
"I'm her friend." Lin Qing stared at Lu Xiao on the stretcher.
The medical staff looked at the patient and then at the situation inside the car. It was not that she wanted to refuse, but there was indeed no extra space.
Lin Qing also followed the medical staff's gaze and finally gave in: "Then please take good care of her."
The medical staff agreed and would have done so even without being told.
The ambulance was speeding along, and Mu Li's car was following behind. Lin Qing was sitting in the passenger seat, his eyes fixed on the car in front without moving.
Mu Li gripped the steering wheel tightly, and the sinister look in his eyes deepened with every turn.
When they arrived at the hospital, the medical staff in the ambulance transferred Lu Xiao to a mobile bed. Lin Qing immediately jumped out of the car and followed behind, without even looking at Mu Li from beginning to end.
Mu Li turned off the engine, and his adjutant and two other men followed him out of another car. When Mu Li got out of the car, the three of them were already standing in front of him.
"What did you find out?" Mu Li's eyes were always following Lin Qing. Her figure turned a corner in the hospital lobby and disappeared as she got on the elevator.
The two men rarely saw Mu Li's face so gloomy, and they didn't dare to speak. Only the adjutant spoke: "The surveillance on the road to the west warehouse didn't find any abnormalities, and there are no clues in the warehouse for the time being. It's just that someone said that they saw Ah Hu and a woman meeting before."
Ah Hu is the culprit.
"Woman?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes slightly. The bright light of the hospital ignited a flame in his eyes. "I want to know who that woman is tomorrow morning."
The adjutant agreed, and he also understood that this matter was not simple. Looking at Mu Li's expression, he couldn't help but say one more thing: "I think this matter has a great impact on the lady. Isn't it time for you to tell her?"
If this continues, won't all the dirty water be thrown on Mu Li
Mu Li pursed his lips for a long time without saying anything. It's not like he hadn't thought about it before, but things have developed to this point and it's impossible to save anything with just a few words from him. Lin Qing had a grudge against him, and the only way to eliminate it was to get evidence.
But he didn't expect that the man was so cruel and had the heart to attack Lin Qing's friend. Isn't this just a stab in Lin Qing's body
When he thought of Chen Qudong's name, Mu Li's chest was filled with anger. He wanted to see who was behind Chen Qudong to make him do so much trouble.
"Do your own thing." Mu Li's voice was low and cold, and one leg had already stepped out. "Don't let me hear you say anything you shouldn't say."
The adjutant and the two people behind him saluted and watched Mu Li walk into the hospital lobby.
“Adjutant, we have been investigating for such a long time but still have no clues. Ah Hu is also strange, how could he betray…” One of the people behind him did not finish speaking, and the adjutant waved his hand to keep silent.
"Have you sent him to the hospital?" The adjutant looked at the dark night. It had been so long since he had personally sent a colleague to the hospital that he had forgotten how it felt.
"He's been sent there. His condition is very bad. Even if he survives, he may not be able to wake up again." Another person said in a low voice.
"Send someone to watch him and notify me as soon as he wakes up." The adjutant said and returned to the car.
Inside the hospital, outside the operating room.
Lin Qing could never have imagined that only half a month later, she returned to this place again and the same person was sent in.
Doctors and nurses were busy coming in and out, and few noticed her small figure. Lin Qing's shoulders were trembling slightly, and her nails were about to dig into her flesh.
At the end of the bench, the man's footsteps were steady and silent, and his eyes became heavier as he got closer.
Lin Qing lowered her head, clutching the edge of her skirt tightly with both hands. She was so excited that even her breathing was trembling.
In a trance, a warm suit was draped over Lin Qing's body, and the warmth slowly brushed along her back, like a starlight in the darkness.
"I know you're feeling bad, but you can't avoid me because of that." Mu Li's hand fell on her shoulder, gently, with a slight warmth.
This was the first time in a long time that Lin Qing felt his warmth. In the past, she always tried her best to warm him, but she failed.
Lin Qing heard the door of the operating room open and close, and raised his head slightly: "Escape? How can I escape?"
Her voice was so soft that the hurried footsteps of the nurses could cover it. But Mu Li still heard it and frowned.
"Then tell me, what are you doing hiding from me now?" He held Lin Qing's shoulders with his fingers and applied a little force. Lin Qing felt pain from the pinch, and bit her lip but did not say a word.
"I'm not hiding from you, I just want to be alone."
The door of the operating room was closed again, and no one came out for a long time.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Mu Li had ordered the hospital to isolate this corridor so that no one except relevant personnel could get close. For a moment, the atmosphere became dull and silent.
Mu Li's hand was on Lin Qing's shoulder. Lin Qing straightened his back with his hands on the edge of the chair. When he looked up, he could see the glaring red words: "In Operation".
Lin Qing swore that she would never wait for anyone outside the operating room again.
As his body gradually warmed up, Lin Qing took off his suit and handed it back to Mu Li: "I believe you, I know you didn't do any of this."
Mu Li straightened his back, and his breathing was trembling a little.
Lin Qing looked at him persistently, as if he was all her light: "Go find that person, I don't care who he is, as long as you bring him to see me, okay?"
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, with faint sobs.
Only he can do it, only by asking him can the person who harmed Lu Xiao be caught, and it doesn’t matter whether that person is related to him or not...
Mu Li understood what she meant, and his eyes darkened: "Lin Qing, you said you didn't hide from me."
Lin Qing bit her lip and turned away. The three words "under surgery" were reflected in her eyes, bright red and dazzling.
Maybe she wasn't hiding, she just didn't even care about him anymore.
Not getting a response, Mu Li grabbed Lin Qing's chin and turned her face over, looking down at her: "How long are you going to do this?"
Lin Qing's heart was burning with anger, and he fiercely shook off Mu Li's hand: "Mu Li! Don't you feel uncomfortable seeing her become like this? Why are you still saying such things now?"
If nothing had happened to Lu Xiao and nothing had happened, why would she be so miserable
She was afraid to hear that this matter had anything to do with a man. He never understood how scared she was, because he was Mu Li, who could control a person's life and death with just a single word!
Mu Li grabbed Lin Qing's wrist and dragged her hard, making her stand up from the bench. Before Lin Qing could stand firmly, she felt the force on her waist.
His palm rested on the back of her waist, pulling her body into his arms infinitely: "I feel bad, but not because of her, but because of you."
Mu Li's voice was low, and every word made his heart ache.
She was in pain, so how could he not be in pain
He tried to fill the gap in his memory loss, tried not to think about whether she would be more willing to rely on him if it were his old self, and he even went for that damn hypnosis treatment.
But there always seemed to be something separating them; no matter how close they got, they would always be pulled apart little by little.
Lin Qing did not push him away. Her arms were held by him and hung down on both sides of her body. Her eyelashes were slightly moist and there was a light mist in her eyes. She did not shed tears in the end.
"Don't feel bad because of me, Mu Li... I can't bear it."
She closed her eyes, and the moment she opened them she pushed back all the tears.
In order to love him, she can endure any pain, but...
"Take that back."
Lin Qing's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't respond.
Mu Li's eyes were like a cold pond. He held Lin Qing's chin tightly and said, "Do you want me to say it again? Take back what you just said."
He used almost all his strength to press his slender fingers, leaving purple marks on Lin Qing's chin. Lin Qing wanted to turn away, but failed after trying several times. He simply raised his face: "Am I wrong? If I hadn't been so stubborn, Lu Xiao wouldn't be like this. I hurt her. So, I can't stand all your feelings for me."
She was the one who harmed Lu Xiao. In the end, the person she could not forgive the most was not others, but herself.
Mu Li's fingers almost crushed her chin: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are not wrong, and you are not the one who hurt her."
Lin Qing was absent-minded for a moment, and seeing the pain in his eyes, he suddenly wanted to reach out and smooth his brows: "Is it you?"
By the time she realized what was happening, the words had already been spoken.
"What?" Mu Li's eyes turned cold.
Thinking of what he just said, Lin Qing almost blurted out: "Mu Li, this is the first time I ask you this question seriously, and it will be the last time. Does Lu Xiao's becoming like this have anything to do with you?"
Mu Li's eyes were filled with a complex expression. His dark eyes were so deep that it was impossible to see through them. After a long moment, he opened his thin lips and said, "No."
But if he said no, would she believe it
A faint smile spread across Lin Qing's lips. She seemed satisfied, and her smile was transparent: "I believe you, I really believe you, but I can't face you anymore. Mu Li, I can die for you, but I can't let others die because of me."
Mu Li narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous aura, and suddenly put his hands on Lin Qing's shoulders: "Lin Qing, I will never allow you to leave me, don't even think about it!"
Lin Qing's eyes curved slightly, as if he was about to speak, when the door of the operating room opened with a swish.
"Who are the family members?" The doctor took off his mask and walked over to them when he saw that they were the only two people outside the operating room. "Are you family members?"
"Tell me." Lin Qing shook his shoulders and broke free from Mu Li's hands, then turned to the doctor, "Is the operation finished?"
The doctor nodded, his face serious: "Her condition is not good, I hope you can be mentally prepared."
Lin Qing's heart trembled, and she bit her lip: "How is her throat...?"
"There is a high possibility that she will not be able to speak in the future." The doctor recalled the operation with regret.
It looks like the girl is only in her twenties, what a pity.
It was an expected answer, but it still hurt to hear it in person.
Lin Qing twisted his fingers together, leaving deep marks on his knuckles: "Is there no other way?"
