Mu Yu had only just stepped out of the hospital room when Cheng Xiang stopped her. “Where are you going, Young Mistress?”
“I’m going out for a walk.” She knew that Qin Jinhuan would definitely forbid her from going outside if he was informed of the situation, so she deliberately lied to Cheng Xiang. As she did so, she whirled around to wrap an arm around Feng Rubing. “I’m going to spend time with Madam Feng on our walk around here.”
“Mu Yu…”
“Didn’t the doctors say that you need to stretch your legs? I need some exercise too, for I’ve been getting headaches from lying down the last few days. It’s a perfect arrangement,” she interrupted Feng Rubing with a smile while simultaneously giving her a look.
Feng Rubing had a complicated look in her eyes, but she still didn’t say anything. All she did was purse her lips and look at her.
Meanwhile, doubt appeared on Cheng Xiang’s face. “You haven’t recovered yet, Young Mi
“No!”Every single person including Mu Yu was stupefied. She had been grabbing Rong Jian’s arm and was about to speak, but she quickly yelled, “Don’t hurt the kid!”Fortunately, Dong Wanqing managed to stop her blade right in front of the child’s chest before giving Mu Yu a sly grin. “Well, the kid’s life is in your hands now.”“Don’t be reckless! Don’t hurt the innocent kid!” Rong Jian yelled as he dragged Mu Yu behind him. He didn’t dare to raise his voice at Dong Wanqing, so he merely advised her, “I know for a fact that you’re a kind lady, Dong Wanqing, and a kind lady shouldn’t be doing any of this!”“Me, kind?” She coldly scoffed. “Why didn’t any of you think of that when you decided to pin your accusations on me?”Liu Xiaofan immediately interfered discontentedly and said, “We didn’t pin anything on you, okay? We have evidence! Everything is as real as—”“Xiaofan!” Rong Jian interrupted him a
“Yu!” As he failed to grab Mu Yu, Qin Jinhuan immediately sprung forward to stop her.“Hold it!” Dong Wanqing grasped Mu Yu’s forehead while swiftly pointing the sharp knife at her waist as she loudly ordered Qin Jinhuan, “Move back!”Upon hearing that, his face turned pale before he hastily halted his steps. “Don’t be rash!”“If you don’t want that to happen, you’d better move back! Get back!” As she yelled, she swung her hand that was holding the knife, to which Qin Jinhuan nervously retreated.“Further back! All the way to the door!”“You promised to let them go once I come over,” Mu Yu warily reminded Dong Wanqing as she glanced at the sharp weapon, showing no signs of resistance while merely straightening her back.“Quite the heroine, aren’t you? You’re quite the b*tch too!” Dong Wanqing indifferently scoffed.“You’re breaking your promise!” Although Mu Yu didn’t mind her insults,
“Kill her! Stab her to death!” Dong Wanqing’s eyes were sparkling with glee as her face twisted into an evil smile. “Yin Anran! What are you doing?!” Qin Jinhuan initially assumed that Yin Anran had picked up the knife to attack Dong Wanqing out of vengeance, but he soon realized that she was actually aiming the knife at Mu Yu. Qin Jinhuan’s face was aghast all of a sudden, and he screamed in horror as he charged forward. Meanwhile, Mu Yu was terror-stricken. She instinctively reached out to grab the knife, but Dong Wanqing was sharp enough to catch her arms from behind. As such, she could only watch helplessly as the knife in Yin Anran’s hand approached her at light’s speed. In fact, she was so startled that she was prepared to break free from Dong Wanqing’s hold with all her might. Bang!Just then, a gun was fired. Its blast, along with the high-pitched cries of two women, attacked Mu Yu’s ears without a w
“Boss, Miss Yin has gone crazy!” “She’s gone crazy? What happened?” Qin Jinhuan sounded very surprised. “Apparently, she’s been crying ever since she woke up—she’s been bawling her eyes out, no less. Not only that, she’s been asking for her sister and brother-in-law to come and protect her. The doctor said that it’s probably a temporary condition from being overly traumatised earlier. He doesn’t know the truth, so he told me to get her whoever she wanted to see to calm her down. He said that it can help…” Then, he finally noticed the discontentment on his boss’s face and quickly corrected himself by saying, “I’ll ask the doctor to give her a sedative instead.” “Where’s her ward?” Bian Zijun didn’t expect that question from his boss, so he hastily pointed a finger toward the ground. “She’s in the 8th ward just a floor below.” Right now, they were on the VIP floor. Naturally, Rong Ying wouldn’t have arranged
“Speak.” “Miss Yin was the mastermind behind this entire incident, so why are you being so lenient toward her even after everything? Even though she did save the young mistress today, she wouldn’t have been in such a situation at all if Miss Yin hadn’t done any of this!” When he realized that he was a little too agitated with his speech, Bian Zijun quickly explained himself and said, “I’m just worried that she’ll have other plans to hurt the young mistress in the future.” Qin Jinhuan’s eyes sharpened at the sound of that. “I’ll make sure she dies on the spot if she dares touch a strand of hair on Yu’s head!” “I’ll get someone to keep an eye on her!” “Good.” Then, Qin Jinhuan paused after that. When the frown between his brows finally loosened up a little, he asked again, “What do you think Yu would do if she finds out that this was all Yin Anran’s doing?” Bian Zijun jolted momentarily and sank into deep tho
Coming their way was Qin Xiaozhi, who supported himself with his walking stick while Mu Ziyao and Hu Meiling followed him. However, Qin Xiaozhi’s worry for Mu Yu kept him from noticing the strange look on Bian Zijun’s face. “How is Yu?”Bian Zijun hurriedly ushered them to the ward before speaking. “The doctor said that Young Mistress’ problem isn’t serious, but it will take some time to nurse her back to health.”When Qin Xiaozhi saw no one else in the ward but Mu Yu and a nurse, his face darkened at once. “Where is Huan?”“Boss…” When he did not hear anything from the ward behind him, Bian Zijun pointed back with some hesitation. Then, he lied, “Boss didn’t sleep last night and was very sleepy, so he went inside just now to take a nap.”Only then did Qin Xiaozhi say nothing else. After seeing that Mu Ziyao and his wife had already rushed into Mu Yu’s ward, he immediately quickened his pace and went inside as well.
Everyone turned their heads to see Rong Jian coming in with Liu Xiaofan and Fan Lifeng. “Chief Rong! What brings you all here?” Mu Yu quickly straightened up.“Stay still! Be careful of your wound!” Qin Xiaozhi reminded Mu Yu nervously without reacting much to the arrival of Rong Jian and the others. On the other hand, Rong Jian greeted Qin Xiaozhi and Mu Yu’s parents before turning to her. He expressed his concern for her by asking, “How are you feeling, Yu? Can you have your testimony recorded?”“No!” “Yes!” Both Qin Xiaozhi and Mu Yu responded simultaneously. When Qin Xiaozhi heard Mu Yu saying so, he admonished in a grave voice right away, “You’re very weak right now—you need a good rest!”“I’m feeling just fine right now, Grandpa.”“How could you be fine with such a sickly complexion?” Qin Xiaozhi retorted. He then rebuffed Rong Jian dismissively and said, “You just want Yu’s testimony record
“The murderer?!” Rong Jian was shocked. “Do you mean Gong Lilan had made preparations long ago to protect herself and her daughter because she predicted that the murderer would deliberately retaliate against Zhao Yongli?!”Mu Yu nodded. “I think the murderer has planned for a long time before committing these murders. These three victims must be connected in a way that we don’t know, and this connection is precisely why the murderer wanted to kill them. Gong Lilan divorced Zhao Yongli and quickly disappeared from public view with her daughter for fear of being retaliated against. In other words, everything will be clear once we find her.”Rong Jian pondered for a moment and then shook his head. “I think it’s plausible that the three victims were killed because of some connection between them, but I don’t agree with what you said about Gong Lilan having predicted long ago that the murderer would deliberately take revenge. Gong Lilan and Zhao Yongli go
