Chapter 28 The mysterious ring suddenly appears

Seeing Qi Xuan's pale face and the blood stains on his shirt, Zhao Yingtong couldn't help but be moved , " Master Qi, you have suffered a series of accidents. You are really ill-fated. Do you have to tell me what happened this time?"

Qi Xuan didn't sleep all night. Feng Shaowen poured cold water on him from time to time, which made his heart feel cold. The whip wounds on his body made him miserable. Just now, he had used all his strength to race to save Luo Sai, but now his body was exhausted and his spirit was listless. But he still stood up, and in a weak voice, told a series of facts such as helping Da Feng in front of the Jasmine Club, and then being taken to the basement of the Little Paris Ballroom.

Yue Xin and others who had taken refuge in the tailor shop also rushed over. When Liu Jingyun heard the news of Feng Shaowen's escape, her mood that had just eased fluctuated again. She introduced the situation at home to Zhao Yingtong and begged him to arrest Feng Shaowen, otherwise Chen Lixiang and his children would be in danger.

Zhao Yingtong looked at the tearful Liu Jingyun and sighed , " If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place? Where are your husband and children?"

"Went to my aunt's house."

"First make sure they have arrived. If they are safe, let them stay for a while and then come back after things calm down here."

Zhao Yingtong said no more, asked Qi Xuan to go home to recuperate, and drove away.

Xiaotong blushed at everyone's words of gratitude and smiled. She experienced this turmoil with everyone, and was slightly affected physically and mentally, so she hurriedly said goodbye and planned to inform her family about her cousin's situation.

"Let's go to the hospital first." Luo Sai said, taking off his windbreaker and putting it on Qi Xuan's body, helping him walk slowly towards a hospital not far away.

Tang Yingfei accompanied Yue Xin and asked her if she was injured or uncomfortable. Yue Xin reached out and took Tang Yingfei's bruised hand, feeling uncomfortable in her heart. They were going through life and death, their bodies were punched and kicked, and their spirits were tortured. They originally just wanted to live a better life, but after suffering again and again, what they got in exchange was temporary peace.

She looked up at the sky. The clouds were lingering and fine raindrops were sparsely falling. The sun was behind the clouds but refused to show its face.

In the hospital, the doctor treated Qi Xuan's wounds and applied medicine to the whip marks. The pain made him break into a cold sweat. Luo Sai stood at the door, not daring to look inside. He was afraid of seeing Qi Xuan's painful appearance and that he would be heartbroken. He had a gloomy face, forgetting that his arm was still bleeding. A fool had scratched him with a knife just now. The bright red blood overflowed from the wound, flowed down his arm, and dripped to the ground.

"Rosay, you're bleeding! Find a doctor to stop the bleeding!" Yue Xin said eagerly after seeing it.

Tang Yingfei looked at Luo Sai's lost look, leaned against the wall and smiled, shaking his head helplessly. Having known Luo Sai for such a long time, he was like an inseparable little bee around Luo Sai. Brothers and old friends usually talked and laughed, quarreled, and understood each other very well. Luo Sai was an optimist. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he would greet them with a smile, as if nothing could stump him. Now, Tang Yingfei saw that Luo Sai cared so much about Qi Xuan, and the depth of his love might have exceeded his imagination.

"You'd better ask a nurse to bandage the wound, otherwise Qi Xuan will see it and be worried again." Tang Yingfei said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xuan came out of the doctor's office. As expected, he noticed Luo Sai's injury and asked nervously , " You were shot?"

Luo Sai glanced at Tang Yingfei who couldn't help laughing, smiled awkwardly, and said , " My arm was scratched, it doesn't matter." After that, he went into the house to find a doctor for treatment.

Liu Jingyun, who was standing in the corridor waiting for them, was in a terrible mood. She fell in love with a handsome man and did not hesitate to cheat on her husband and occasionally have affairs. Unexpectedly, this man who regarded her as the pearl in his palm would push her into the abyss with one hand. Fortunately, she was lucky enough to grab the rock and avoid falling completely. Looking at the dark clouds outside the window, recalling the tenderness of her skin-to-skin contact with Feng Shaowen in the past, shame and guilt hit her again.

She had failed Chen Lixiang, and now, she had failed Feng Shaowen. Both of these men had given her warmth and love. In the blink of an eye, the once-pleasant scenes had vanished, and they would never be the same again. After all, she was still a selfish woman, and God used a knife to wake up her sweet dream and punish her.

Just now, she called her aunt's house to ensure that her husband and children were safe. But her heart could never be at peace. Feng Shaowen was like a nightmare. She was still immersed in the nightmare. No matter what, she was miserable.

Qi Xuan looked at Liu Jingyun and accidentally noticed that she was also wearing an jade ring on her hand. He walked over and took a closer look. The ring was almost the same as the jade ring he wore on his hand.

"Where did you buy your ring? What a coincidence. It's very similar to my ring."

Liu Jingyun replied , " My grandma gave me this ring. It's from Hetian jade. Let me take a look at yours." After saying that, Liu Jingyun took the ring that Qi Xuan took off, looked at it, and said , " It looks similar, but Look carefully, the patterns on the two rings are different. Mine is engraved with dots.”

Qi Xuan took the ring and compared it carefully again, and found that it was indeed the case. Liu Jingyun's ring is engraved with many scattered small dots, while his ring is engraved with swirling regular lines. Other than that, the color and material of the two rings are almost identical. Seeing this coincidence, Qi Xuan couldn't help but be confused.

He hesitated for a moment and asked , " I don't know, have you ever heard of Xuanjing, an ancient mirror from the Han Dynasty?"

"Xuanjing? I've never heard of it." Liu Jingyun replied firmly.

Qi Xuan smiled, returned the ring to Liu Jingyun, and kept the doubt in his heart without saying another word.

Yue Xin wanted to comfort Liu Jingyun, so she walked to her and touched her shoulder , " For your safety, we decided to take you back to the club. If you need anything, you can tell me. Don't think about it, live well, wait. Your kids come home.”

Hearing Yue Xin mention her children, Liu Jingyun couldn't help but burst into tears. She held on to the window sill and cried heartbrokenly.

After leaving the hospital, Tang Yingfei and Yue Xin took Liu Jingyun back to the Jasmine Club, and Luo Sai sent Qi Xuan home. On the road, the two of them walked side by side in the drizzle and remained silent for a long time. The two looked at each other from time to time, both wanting to say something to break the silence, but they seemed to have reservations. When the words came to their lips, they chose to remain silent.

Qi Xuan felt cold all over and his breathing was heavy. He tried his best to keep up with Luo Sai's pace. When the wound on his chest hurt, he pressed it hard with his palm, frowned and pursed his lips. He saw a cart driver waiting for customers on the side of the road, but he deliberately lowered his head and pretended not to see it. He wished he could walk slowly along the street with Rosé like this quietly. Occasionally, small raindrops would scratch his cheek or drip on his forehead, but these seemed to add a pleasant color to the scene. It won't affect his mood at all. At this moment, under the clouds, after the crisis, having a friend and a good brother by his side is extremely precious in Qi Xuan's opinion.

As he was being tortured in the basement of the Petit Paris ballroom, all he could think of was that Rousay would come to rescue him. This belief supported him, allowing him to grasp the hand of hope, ignite the fire of life, and survive despite despair and grief.

What makes him uneasy is that he doesn't know if Roselle is the same as him. If one day Roselle encounters such a danger, will she silently recite his name in her heart, over and over again, while burning her body in the fire? In pain, in the bitter cold struggle, I called his name.

It was at the moment when Qi Xuan silently shouted "Luo Sai" countless times that he began to doubt what his feelings for Luo Sai were. This kind of emotional experience was something he had never had before. This friend walking beside him, this man named Rosey, had taken up too much of his energy and taken away too much of his care.

Qi Xuan turned his head to look at him, and suddenly became very nervous. His whole body seemed to be pulled out to another level of space. The people and objects around him seemed to not exist when the chaotic emotions came over him. .

"It's better to go back by car, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." Rossay suddenly broke the silence and called a cart puller over.

The two got on the rickshaw together. Qi Xuan put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind and told Luo Sai that Liu Jingyun also had an jade ring like his, and chatted about the legend about the ring.

"According to the written records left by my grandfather, there were originally five emerald rings like this, guarded by different families. They were the keys to summon the God of the Mysterious Mirror. Many years ago, my ancestor got one of them. This ring was given to me by my father. My mother was critically ill, so she left it to me.”

"Why is it Xuanjing again? It seems that we have an inseparable fate with Xuanjing. We go around it, but we are always revolving around it. Did Liu Jingyun say anything to you?"

Qi Xuan shook his head. Judging from Liu Jingyun's reaction, she might not really know the connection between the jade ring and Xuan Jing.

"Perhaps because of its age, the true purpose of this ring is no longer known. Of course she regarded it as an ordinary jewelry, and it is understandable that she does not understand its deeper meaning."

With the driver running hard, they soon arrived at the Qi family residence on Wutong Road. Luo Sai helped Qi Xuan into the house. Qi Mei, who was waiting anxiously, saw them coming back and hurriedly greeted them.

"Xuan'er, how did you do this? Who did this? You are so cruel." Qi Mei felt distressedly and gently touched Qi Xuan's gauze-tied chest with her hand. The blood stains on the shirt were clearly visible, like Wringing her heart like a knife.

Seeing Roselle on the side, Qi Mei's expression changed from motherly care to blame. She reprimanded loudly , " Rosay, it's because of you that Xuan'er is covered in bruises again. Who are you? Tell me everything clearly today, your background, your work, and your friends." , explain it all clearly! I saw you hanging out with those people from the Maoying Club, and I knew you were not simple. My Xuan'er is really unlucky to know you!"
