“Oh my God! Who is that?” Mu Yu cried in surprise as she quickly shoved Qin Jinhuan away.
“No one. No one at all. You guys can go on.” The mumbles of Mu Yu’s parents sounded in the dark before the sound of their rushed footsteps followed as they quickly shifted away. They shut the bedroom door behind them.
“Told you they’d go to bed.” Qin Jinhuan’s smug voice emerged in the dark.
“Don’t you have better things to do?” Mu Yu pushed him away angrily.
“Alright. Stop being mad at me. I know I brought supper home a little too late tonight, but I really had matters to handle. Please forgive me, my beloved wife…” he pleaded.
“You had matters to handle? What sort of matters involve following a woman into a room in the middle of the night when it’s just the two of you in there?” Mu Yu said with a scoff.
“Anran was ill, so I had to go over and take a look…” he explained.
“Woah, I didn’t know you, the alm
D-Did… Did I go too far with my joke? Was I too confident thinking that I was the brightest star in his sky?“What time is Huan coming over, Yu?” Hu Meiling wiped her hands on her apron as she stepped out into the living room. She was shocked to see the look on Mu Yu’s face. “Why are you crying, Yu? What happened?”Mu Ziyao quickly left the dishes on the dining table before rushing to the living room when he heard this. “What is it? What happened?”It was only then did Mu Yu realize the tears streaming down her cheeks. Flustered, she quickly wiped her face with her sleeve before attempting to conceal the truth. “It’s nothing. I was just too touched after watching some TV drama.”Hu Meiling gave Mu Yu’s shirt a tug. “Don’t lie to your mother. Tell me—what happened?”Mu Yu sniffed as she realized that a kid’s cartoon was being broadcasted on TV. “It’s really nothing, I…” She cleared her throat.“Is it becaus
“She’s in the emergency room?! What happened?!” Qin Jinhuan exclaimed in shock. “Which hospital is she at?”“It was a car accident! She’s at Town Hospital!” Mu Ziyao cried.Hu Meiling felt her gaze becoming blurry as she slapped herself on her thighs in agony. “My God! My baby Yu!”“Meiling!” Mu Ziyao steadied his wife quickly, but he then lost his grip on his phone. The screen turned black immediately after it smashed onto the ground. The words ‘car accident’ echoed in Qin Jinhuan’s head—he could no longer care for Hu Meiling or anyone else right then. Instead, he charged toward Bian Zijun. “Take care of them!” he said before getting into his own car and howled at Huang Bo. “Head to Town Hospital! Hurry!”“Yes, Boss!’ Huang Bo stepped on the gas immediately.“Hey! Wait for us! We want to go too!” Hu Meiling shoved her husband away as she began to chase the car. “We’ll take this car instead!” Bian Zijun s
“Qin Jinhuan!” she cried as she stomped out after him.“Stop right there, you brat!” an old man’s voice said.Grandpa? Mu Yu was utterly shocked as her gaze searched around and fell on Qin Xiaozhi. I clearly reminded Rong Ying not to tell anyone else about this when I borrowed Director Qiao’s phone to give her a call. How did Grandpa find out about this? However, she didn't know that both her parents had called Qin Xiaozhi the moment she ran out of the house; Qin Xiaozhi had been tracking both her and Qin Jinhuan’s whereabouts since then.“Grandpa? What are you doing here?” Mu Yu no longer attempted to go after Qin Jinhuan. Instead, she quickly rushed forward to help Qin Xiaozhi. After all, it was her fault for getting an old man to step out of the house in such terribly cold weather. However, Qin Xiaozhi pushed her away before turning toward Qin Jinhuan. “Where are you going?” he asked.The old man, along with Mu Yu’s parents, had
Qin Jinhuan picked up the phone right away. “Yes?”“Yu—Huan? Where is Yu?”“Hold on a minute.” Knowing that Rong Jian must be calling Mu Yu for work-related matters, Qin Jinhuan walked quickly into the room without asking anything. “Yu, it’s Rong Jian calling.”“Huh? Chief Rong?” Mu Yu hurriedly got out of bed and trotted over to take the cell phone without even wearing her slippers.“Take your time! A few seconds won’t make much difference!”Ignoring Qin Jinhuan’s ‘nagging’, Mu Yu took the cell phone and said, “Hello, Chief Rong.”“Yu, have you visited Rubing today?”“Oh, no!” Only then did Mu Yu recall having planned to visit Feng Rubing that afternoon. Frustrated with herself, she apologized. “I’m sorry. I was put off by something else.”“Could you please go to her place and check up on her? Her cell phone has been switched off, so I worry that something might have happened to
“What’s going on?” Qin Jinhuan asked the doctor hastily while staring at the emergency room.The doctor calmly explained, “The patient’s high fever hasn’t subsided, and she isn’t in full possession of her senses, which conjured up something at the bottom of her heart that she usually refused to confront. So we need to find her family members to understand her situation to solve her problems by taking the correct actions.”Feng Rubing’s scream could be heard again from the emergency room as the doctor spoke. Mu Yu’s heart clenched as she asked, “So is Madam Feng in a serious condition right now?”“Are you referring to the patient? She’ll stop exhibiting such symptoms once her temperature comes down and she’s come to her senses,” said the doctor. Then, he changed the subject. “Does she often suffer from insomnia and nightmares?”Mu Yu was startled for a moment before she nodded immediately. She didn’t know whether Feng Rubing was oft
“My sister would never murder someone! Mrs. Qin, Huan, you guys must have gotten it wrong!” Feng Qiqi cried.“Yes, yes. We got it all wrong. It was all a mistake. Don’t cry, Qiqi.” Mu Yu quickly rushed forward to explain herself. But Feng Qiqi shoved her away as she continued crying. “I want to see my sister, Mrs. Qin.”“Your sister’s still getting an IV drip; you’d scare her if you barged in like that.” Qin Jinhuan quickly stopped Feng Qiqi as he gently spoke to the young girl. “Your hand is not fully healed yet, so you shouldn’t be roaming around.”Feng Qiqi brushed her tears off as she spoke. “Huan, my hand’s fine, and I won’t make any noise. I just want to see my sister, okay? I promise not to disturb her!”“Okay. Come here.” Qin Jinhuan gently held onto Feng Qiqi’s shoulders before guiding her over to the glass window that allowed them to observe the insides of the room. “Your sister has been overworking herself recently. The
“What do you mean, something odd?” asked Mu Yu anxiously.“Ru Bing is—”Rong Jian was interrupted when the door was pushed open as Rong Ying walked in. Mu Yu knew she came to look for Feng Qiqi as she explained hurriedly, “Ying, Qiqi had gone back already.”Earlier, Qin Jinhuan had sent Cheng Xiang to follow Feng Qiqi back, so Mu Yu wasn’t worried about her safety.“Yu, I know that, but I’m not here to look for Qiqi,” said Rong Ying faintly while she handed a bag to Rong Jian. “The canteen is already closed, so I’ve ordered some noodles for you. Hope you don’t mind.”“Chief Rong, you haven’t eaten!?” Mu Yu was surprised because it was almost 11.00PM.“I didn’t have time to eat because I was rushing back. But I did eat some biscuits on the way, so I’m not that hungry.”Rong Ying looked irritated when she saw Rong Jian refusing to accept the bag, saying that he was not hungry. She slammed the ba
Mu Yu looked at the door with bewilderment as Qin Jinhuan habitually protected her by pulling her behind him.“What’s going on?” Rong Jian asked as he ran to the door.“It’s just a misunderstanding! It’s just a misunderstanding!”Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Liu Xiaofan’s voice. “It’s just Officer Liu.”Both Bian Zijun and Huang Bo knew Liu Xiaofan; why would they stop him?While Qin Jinhuan was still in shock, Rong Jian had already opened the door and looked outside.When Liu Xiaofan saw Rong Jian, he rushed over to introduce him. “Chief Rong, this is the new member of our bureau, Director He.” When Qin Jinhuan saw the man introduced by Liu Xiaofan, it was then he understood the reason Bian Zijun had stopped them from coming in.Rong Jian was surprised to see He Xinmin as he asked, “Director He, are you here to see Rubing?”He knew that his boss wa
