Mu Li had been upstairs for a long time. Lin Qing had just dozed off for a while and now he felt a little more energetic.
She was still thinking about the password when she glanced at the envelope on the coffee table and held it in her hand for a long time without paying attention.
What will be given to Mu Li
She thought of his kiss in the ward and felt so uncomfortable that she could hardly breathe. That kind of possessiveness was obviously a manifestation of fear of losing. How could she not understand his feelings
Lin Qing stared at the envelope for a long time and tore open a corner.
There was only a small piece of paper in the envelope, and Lin Qing tilted it and it slipped out from the corner. There were only two strings of numbers written on it. Lin Qing pondered for a long time but couldn't guess the meaning. After staring at it for a while, his eyes felt sore.
She frowned slightly and had to put the paper back into the envelope. Just as she was putting it there, Mu Li came down from the stairs.
Mu Li saw her movements at a glance: "What are you doing?"
Lin Qing did not hide it: "I saw this at the door yesterday. I don't know who sent it."
A sinister light flashed in Mu Li's eyes. He took the envelope and paused when he saw the piece of paper.
"What is it?" Lin Qing noticed something was wrong. "There are only numbers. I don't understand."
Mu Li put the paper back into the envelope and threw it into the trash can: "It's useless, don't worry about it."
"How can it be useless?" Lin Qing stood up and picked up the envelope from the trash can. "Is the number on it related to Lu Xiao?"
When did she become so sensitive
Mu Li frowned in displeasure. The two strings of numbers were the geographical coordinates of the warehouse where Lu Xiao was found. Someone had sent this thing to the door specifically for Lin Qing to see, thinking that this matter was closely related to Mu Li.
But the more Mu Li concealed the truth, the more Lin Qing became suspicious.
"Okay, if you don't tell me, I'll check it myself." Lin Qing was about to go out with the envelope.
Mu Li took a few steps forward and grabbed her: "Where are you going?"
Lin Qing shook off his hand without looking back: "Go find someone who can help me."
"Who are you looking for? Are you looking for your senior?" Mu Li's pupils tightened, and he stood in front of Lin Qing. His imposing aura was almost suffocating. "Do you think he is so good now that you can't wait to join him?"
Lin Qing hadn't thought of Chen Qudong before. She had been planning to ask the adjutant who was with Mu Li about the situation, but Mu Li mentioned it out of the blue. She just agreed, "Yes, I'm going to find him. At least he didn't hurt my friends and didn't make me so upset!"
The corners of Mu Li's lips curled up into a cold smile: "Why, are you finally admitting that I made you feel uncomfortable? From the beginning you thought it was me who did it, so no matter how much I say, even if I put all the evidence in front of you, you won't believe it."
What's more, he is not completely sure now.
The adjutant brought news early this morning, revealing that the woman who had met Ah Hu before was Liang Ruoyi. At first, Mu Li thought the name sounded familiar, but after thinking about it, he realized that the woman was Chen Qudong's ex-wife.
What a romantic drama, Chen Qudong actually used the Liang family's connections, no wonder he didn't find any clues at the beginning. What's even more ridiculous is that Liang Ruoyi was so willing to be used by Chen Qudong? Or did she not know what was going on
Mu Li never took the Liang family seriously, but the older generation of the Liang family had a deep connection with Mu Li's father. Mu Yonghao once told him not to touch anyone from the Liang family easily.
Thinking of this, the sneer on Mu Li's face became even more intense.
Lin Qing was hurt by his smile. She clutched the envelope tightly, her body shaking uncontrollably. "Yes, when I see you, I think of Lu Xiao. When I think of her injury, I can't stand being with you. As for who did it, Mu Li, I don't care at all! Even if it wasn't you, I wouldn't forgive you!"
No, what she couldn't forgive was not him, but herself.
"You won't forgive me?" Mu Li narrowed his eyes dangerously and fiercely grabbed Lin Qing's wrist. "Tell me why you won't forgive me and leave me? I'm telling you, even if you run to the sky, I will pull you down!"
Not to mention running to the sky, he would not allow this woman to escape even a single step!
As for whether to forgive or not, if he has made up his mind, would he still care about these useless things
"That's right! I just want to leave you!" Lin Qing threw the envelope at Mu Li's feet and pushed him away with strength he didn't know where he got from.
Mu Li's waist hit the cabinet at the entrance, and the stable cabinet couldn't help shaking a little. Various artworks on the cabinet fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and one rolled to Lin Qing's feet.
Lin Qing glanced at it and felt a sharp pain in her heart. That was the item that Mu Li accompanied her to buy, and she had chosen it herself.
"Don't even think about it!" Mu Li tried to grab Lin Qing, his eyes filled with anger. Lin Qing dodged backwards, one hand on the door handle.
The paranoia in his eyes almost burned Lin Qing, and Lin Qing could no longer let herself look into his eyes calmly.
"You're wrong, I've been thinking about it all the time." As she spoke, she turned the doorknob, turned around and ran out.
Lin Qing ran very fast and the elevator just stopped at this floor. She disappeared in the corridor almost in an instant. Mu Li rushed to the elevator door but didn't have time to press the button before the elevator door closed.
The other elevator was still on the first floor, now moving slowly upwards.
"Lin Qing!" Mu Li punched the wall between the two elevators. The violent impact was so loud that the sound of broken bones could be clearly heard.
Lin Qing went downstairs and turned out of the community. As soon as she turned the corner, she received a call. She thought it was Mu Li calling, but she glanced at the screen and saw another person's name on it.
"Hello?" Lin Qing answered the phone after hesitation.
Chen Qudong was in the hospital corridor, smiling faintly at the window: "Lin Qing, where are you? Why does your voice sound wrong?"
Lin Qing had just run a few steps and was unconsciously breathing heavily while speaking.
"I'm fine. Senior, is there anything you want to talk about?"
Chen Qudong's eyes darkened, but his smile remained the same: "Can I only look for you when I have something to do?"
Lin Qing was speechless, as if the person who had just quarreled with Mu Li and said she wanted to see Chen Qudong was not her.
Chen Qudong didn't care about the silence and leaned on the windowsill with one hand: "I'm in the hospital. Lu Xiao is awake. Why don't you come to see her?"
Lin Qing, who was jogging, paused, his pupils losing focus for a moment: "What did you say? She woke up?"
She was surprised because she woke up earlier than she expected.
Chen Qudong nodded, his voice still gentle: "I'll wait for you in the hospital."
Lin Qing put down the phone and ran to the intersection, hailed a taxi and rushed to the hospital.
When Mu Li chased after him, he could no longer see Lin Qing.
Did she really go to find Chen Qudong
Mu Li clenched his fists, and blood continued to flow from his injured hand.
Coincidentally, at this moment he received a text message from Chen Qudong: Don’t worry, Lin Qing is with me.
"Damn it!" Mu Li's black eyes were sinister and full of hostility.
In the VIP ward, on the hospital bed, Lu Xiao woke up.
When Lin Qing arrived, he saw a weak figure curled up in a ball, leaning against the wall at the head of the bed. Anyone who approached would be so scared that they would hug their shoulders and dare not move.
All the doctors and nurses had to stop two or three meters away, with confusion written all over their faces.
"How is she?" Lin Qing walked into the ward, his legs trembling.
"She was traumatized by the beating she received before. Now anyone who gets close to her will think someone is out to harm her. She can't speak anymore and her emotions are even more unstable." The attending physician explained as he dismissed other people in the room. Too many people in the room would also affect the patient's emotions.
Lin Qing walked in and found the room in a mess, all of which were caused by Lu Xiao. In order to prevent others from approaching, she even cut her wrist with the broken glass. The blood slowly flowed down her arm, leaving streaks of blood on the white sheets.
Lin Qing didn't dare to get close, and stood far away and talked to Lu Xiao: "Lu Xiao, it's me, Lin Qing, do you recognize me?"
Lu Xiao put her arms around her shoulders and turned her head slightly to look at Lin Qing when she heard the voice. She looked very carefully, fearing that Lin Qing would rush over and whip her.
Turning around, Lin Qing saw the scars on Lu Xiao's face, and his heart ached again.
Lu Xiao stared at Lin Qing for a long time, then shrank back nervously. When he was about to turn around, he saw the person standing behind Lin Qing and his gaze paused slightly.
Lin Qing turned his head and looked in the direction she was looking and found Chen Qudong standing behind him.
"Senior?" Lin Qing didn't see him in the corridor just now and forgot about him as soon as he came in.
Chen Qudong didn't mind, but motioned her to look at Lu Xiao. Lin Qing saw a very slight hesitation in Lu Xiao's eyes, which seemed to be relieved, but also like vigilance.
"She was like this when I came here. No one could get close to her." Chen Qudong shook his head and described what had happened.
Lin Qing bit her lip. She didn't know how to explain to Chen Qudong that it was all because of her that Lu Xiao became like this.
Chen Qudong did not ask any more questions about this. The two of them were silent for a moment. Lin Qing noticed that Lu Xiao had been looking at this side, and hesitantly walked forward step by step.
"Lu Xiao, it's me. I'm not a bad person, I'm your friend." Lin Qing spoke each word lightly and took each step slowly.
Lu Xiao didn't move. His eyes were wide open, staring at Lin Qing who was approaching.
Lin Qing, Lin Qing...
This name lingered in her ears, suddenly exploding Lu Xiao's memory. She wanted to scream, but her throat was so weak that she couldn't even whimper. She stared at Lin Qing with more hatred.
"Lu Xiao?" Lin Qing noticed something strange and stopped standing on the edge of the bed.
Lu Xiao grabbed his hair in pain and crawled to the bed. He grabbed the piece of glass thrown on the bedside and was about to stab Lin Qing!
Lin Qing was thinking about how to comfort him, and was in a trance for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he saw the glass that Lu Xiao was stabbing straight at him...
Snapped!
A huge hand suddenly appeared and knocked the weapon out of Lu Xiao's hand. The glass fragments fell to the ground with a little blood on them.
"Stupid woman, don't you know how to hide?" Mu Li protected Lin Qing behind him and looked at Lu Xiao with a gloomy and vigilant expression.
"Ah-ah-" The moment she saw Mu Li, Lu Xiao suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror, covering her painful throat and desperately backing away. Her voice was hoarse and harsh, like a thunderbolt breaking through the sky.
Mu Li's face was gloomy. He protected Lin Qing behind him with one hand and clenched the other hand into a fist.
