His voice trembled, as if he wanted to vent all the pain of the past three years, and the knife against Lin Qing's neck kept shaking.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes coldly, drawing a sharp arc: "Let her go, if you want revenge, come at me."
"Humph!" Zheng Yan teased, his smile showing a hint of disdain and ferocity, "Everyone knows that you love your wife like your life, do you think I will listen if you ask me to let go now?"
Mu Li did not deny it, his eyes were firm and cold: "Okay, then I will use my life in exchange for her."
The air was silent at this moment.
Lin Qing, who was held hostage, moved restlessly but did not wake up.
Mu Li actually didn't want her to wake up at this moment. He didn't want her to feel dangerous anymore. She should sleep peacefully in his arms and be well protected by him.
However, he failed to do so, so he could only exchange his life for her.
He wasn't joking, nor did he regret it.
"You are indeed a master negotiator. I almost fell for it. If you come to exchange her, I can't beat you, so how can I compare to using her to restrain you?" Zheng Yan quickly recovered his composure. He had to say that he was still shocked just now. Even his subordinates who were ready at any time outside the door were shocked.
Is the commander exchanging his life for something else
Did they hear it wrong
"I'm not kidding you. If you let her go, I promise not to move. You can do whatever you want." Mu Li curled his lips coldly and put his hands in his trouser pockets. His words were as firm as a rock and left no room for doubt.
Zheng Yan hesitated for a moment.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes, his gaze suddenly fierce: "Since you can come back alive, do you really know the truth of three years ago?"
"What do you mean?" Zheng Yan looked up suddenly.
Mu Li's eyes suddenly emitted a dark cold light, and a faint chuckle appeared at his lips.
Zheng Yan frowned, not understanding why he was laughing, but he was overcome in the moment of hesitation. They were too close, and Mu Li suddenly made a move, pushing the knife out of Zheng Yan's hand with a backhand.
Zheng Yan was caught off guard and held Lin Qing with one hand while using the other to block Mu Li's fist.
It was already difficult for him to beat Mu Li, and it was even more impossible for him to win now. He just felt his arms empty, and Lin Qing took him back.
"Mu Li..." Lin Qing seemed to sense his embrace, and when she fell steadily into his arms, she relaxed her brows slightly, and her light voice floated into the air.
Mu Li kissed the corner of her lips lightly, his eyes filled with unconscious doting and heartache. He picked up Lin Qing and carried her sideways, his movements as gentle as if he was protecting a treasure.
He really cares about her.
Zheng Yan looked at the scene in front of him, and suddenly felt very upset. Mu Li was so nervous to protect even women, why did he leave him at the explosion site
"I realized you were gone after I left. I brought people back and searched for you for three days and three nights, but still couldn't find you." Mu Li recounted the situation that year with a heavy face.
Although this happened a long time ago, I can still recall the pain and powerlessness I felt at that time when I think about it.
He had said that none of the brothers who had served him for many years should be left behind, but that time, he couldn't even find their bodies.
Zheng Yan trembled all over and looked at Mu Li in disbelief.
"Don't believe it?" Mu Li was not surprised. He turned around and walked a few steps with Lin Qing in his arms before speaking again, "If you don't believe it, you can ask them later if what I said is true."
Zheng Yan stood still. He had a knife on him. He held the knife in his hand and stared at Mu Li's back in a vague manner.
Mu Li suddenly stopped and did not look back: "I said that no one I bring with me can be left behind."
After saying that, he pursed his lips tightly and looked down at Lin Qing, only to see that her breathing was slightly rapid. It seemed that she had a bad dream, and she frowned with a painful expression.
Mu Li no longer paid attention to Zheng Yan. He held Lin Qing and strode to the door. When he left, he said coldly to his subordinates outside: "Catch him."
"Yes!" The subordinates rushed in.
Mu Li didn't wait for the result, and carried Lin Qing downstairs. When he reached the stairs, he glanced coldly at the arrested person, but his long legs did not stop.
At this time, the adjutant came forward from the side and waited for the next instruction.
Mu Li opened his thin lips, holding the person in his arms tightly and said, "Take them all away."
No one knew what exactly happened that night. When the firefighters arrived, two buildings in the abandoned community in the northern suburbs had been burned to ruins overnight.
The firefighters held up hoses and sprayed water, but they couldn't stop the flames from shooting up into the sky, growing more rampant in the howling cold wind.
In the cold wind, the flames almost devoured everything.
This incident alarmed all major media outlets. Reporters were awakened from their dreams by phone calls one after another and rushed to the scene overnight.
It was not until the early hours of the morning that the fire was finally brought under control.
Mu Li took Lin Qing home and sat by the bed, waiting for her to wake up. But Lin Qing seemed to be against him and didn't open her eyes. She breathed quietly without making any sound.
She was so quiet, just like when they first met, no matter how heartbroken she was, she just didn't move.
Mu Li suddenly felt scared.
The wound on his shoulder had not been treated yet and the blood had already coagulated. His expression could not be seen under the orange-yellow light at the bedside. Only his bottomless black eyes were staring at the delicate woman on the bed.
Why aren't you waking up yet
He knew that she hated the smell of the hospital and was afraid of pain. In the past, she would be so scared that she would hide when he applied medicine to her minor wounds. Now that he had hurt her heart, what should he do
Mu Li stared at the pale little face and almost lost his mind. He wished he could make Liang Ruoyi suffer hundreds of times the pain.
Only then did he realize that his pride and power were no match for a woman's gentle smile.
If he falls in love with the same woman twice, does it prove that she is his destiny
Even if it wasn't, he wouldn't let go.
Mu Li leaned over, put his thin lips close to hers, and said in a low and doting voice: "Lin Qing, if you don't wake up, I can't guarantee that I can control myself."
The woman on the bed did not respond.
Mu Li frowned slightly, disappointment and nervousness flashed in his eyes, and his cold lips touched hers. The moment they touched, his heart trembled slightly.
Her lips were cold, so cold that it hurt.
Mu Li deepened the kiss, his kiss was passionate and affectionate, his breathing became increasingly heavy and became overbearing and plundering, as if only in this way could he wake up the person on the bed and make her open her eyes and look at him.
“Hmm…” Lin Qing frowned and whimpered softly in pain, her little face wrinkled.
Obviously, this almost crazy kiss was not comfortable.
"Lin Qing?" Mu Li stepped back slightly, held her face with his big hands, and in the dim light he saw her eyelashes tremble twice.
"Don't..." Lin Qing frowned and spoke incoherently, only able to utter complete words occasionally, "Go..."
Mu Li's pupils suddenly shrank, suppressing the bitterness in his throat: "No, I won't leave."
Lin Qing seemed to have heard his words, and her eyebrows furrowed even tighter: "Liar... You don't want me anymore..."
She moved her head unconsciously and rubbed it lightly against his palm a few times. This familiar feeling made her feel even more heartbroken in her dream.
"You don't want me anymore..."
Mu Li's large palm was slightly cold, and he held her cold little hand tightly. Her hand was very small, curled up in his palm obediently, and her fingers occasionally trembled slightly.
Her nightmares continued one after another, as if they were going to swallow her up.
She was so scared.
Why didn’t Mu Li come to rescue her
Does he really not want her anymore
She didn't dare to think further.
The dream was dark and heavy, as if everything was lifeless. She could not see anything, but only heard someone calling in the distance.
Her ears were filled with the laughter of someone unknown, which became more and more harsh as the dream deepened. Gradually, she could hear clearly that the owner of the voice was Xu Yuan.
"Lin Qing, you finally lost." Xu Yuan raised his chin arrogantly, his voice shrill.
Lin Qing couldn't see her and felt more lonely and helpless in the darkness.
"Mu Li? Mu Li where are you?"
No one answered.
Lin Qing turned around several times on the spot, and the darkness engulfed her. At this moment, she seemed to see a faint light in the distance, gradually opening up a very thin arc.
A man's deep and heavy voice came from the end of the light.
"Lin Qing, Lin Qing..."
Lin Qing opened his eyes in a trance.
The light above her head was dim, but even so she squinted her eyes and subconsciously wanted to cover her forehead with her hands.
She moved her fingers, only to find that they were tightly wrapped by a palm.
"Who?" She was out of breath and her voice was so light that it seemed to float in the air and could be blown away at any time.
Mu Li looked up suddenly when he heard the voice, with an unconcealable surprise in his eyes.
"Lin Qing, you're awake."
Lin Qing's heart trembled violently.
"Mu Li?" Her voice was hoarse and her throat was extremely dry. Every word hurt her, but when she saw Mu Li, she seemed to have forgotten everything. A faint smile spread across her lips, "You came to pick me up..."
Mu Li placed her little hand to his lips and kissed her slender fingers gently: "We are home now."
"Home?" Lin Qing opened her eyes slightly. When she heard the word "home", something came to her mind and exploded her memory.
Do they still have a home
Lin Qing closed his eyes and said nothing more. His voice was as light as a wing: "I'm so tired. I want to take a nap."
Mu Li stroked her little face. Seeing how skinny she was, he felt a sharp pain in his heart: "Okay, when you wake up after a good sleep, everything will be fine."
Lin Qing closed his eyes and nodded.
How nice it would be if you could wake up and nothing had happened.
Lin Qing was too tired, and she fell asleep soon. When Mu Li brought her back, he checked her and was relieved after confirming that she had no injuries. Watching Lin Qing sleeping soundly, he held her little hand and never let go, and his palm gradually became warm.
Only by guarding him in this way will he feel at ease and feel that his existence is meaningful.
He once thought that he could control everything and nothing would happen unexpectedly, but this woman was his accident, the one he could not control.
He knew that there would never be another woman like this in his life who would give him such excitement.
Every breath she took touched his heart.
The next morning, Lin Qing woke up from his sleep.
She slept very soundly at night, and in her dream it seemed as if someone was holding her carefully in his arms and hugging her all night.
