I instinctively raised my hand to block Mengmeng's knife, but it was as if she had gone mad. One cut was missed, and the second and third came right after. The speed was as fast as a seasoned killer. I had never experienced anything like this before, and I was scared out of my wits.
I had no time to think. I kicked her in the stomach and ran away. "Help!"
I ran as fast as I could. I didn't dare to look back. All I knew was that this was a race against life.
"Hold her down!" A voice came from behind.
I looked back and saw that Mengmeng had been pinned down and Lu Buyuan was helping. I collapsed on the ground, my whole body weak, and my head was covered in sweat.
After some time, Lu Buyuan came over to help me. My hand was trembling in his palm, and he pulled me up from the ground. "Can you hold on?"
I opened my mouth and breathed heavily. Unable to speak, I could only nod.
Lu Buyuan helped me to the room. He poured me a glass of water. I finished it in one gulp. He poured me another glass.
"Is she mentally ill?" I asked if the road was not far.
"It looks like it." He nodded, his voice still very gentle. "I don't have much research in psychiatry, but her symptoms do look a little strange. The hotel has contacted her family. Do you want to call the police or privately?"
I'm in a mess right now. "I don't know."
That scene just now, bright and clear, the silver knife raised in front of my eyes, she was not only stabbing a person one knife, but one knife after another, it was too frightening!
"Do you need a hug?" Lu Buyuan opened his arms to me in a friendly manner.
I put my arms around my shoulders and politely rejected his offer. "Let's see what happens later."
After about an hour, someone knocked on my door and the hotel staff led jiang miao here.
"Chen Qing, are you okay?" As soon as he came in, he held me by the shoulder and shook me to check.
I rolled my eyes. "I'll be fine for a while. You're shaking the water out of my head. Why are you here?"
"I'm glad you're okay." Jiang miao heaved a sigh of relief. "The people at the hotel called me and told me that Mengmeng was here with a knife. I was so scared that I came to deal with it. When I heard it was you, I didn't rush over to take a look and explain it to you at the same time."
I suddenly remembered that the last time Jiang Miao wanted to talk to me about Mengmeng, I interrupted him. I thought he was going to explain his relationship with Mengmeng to me. Now that I think about it, I can't help but be involved in this scene today.
"Say it." I wrapped myself in clothes.
"Mengmeng has no parents. She lives not far from my old house. She is the child of my parents and friends. She grew up with me. Her parents had an accident when she was in her teens. There is only her and a pile of money left in the family..."
When Jiang Miao talked about Mengmeng, all he could do was sympathize. The playboy had lost his usual arrogance and impudence. Instead, he looked like a young man with a sad past.
He said a lot, saying that Mengmeng had been greatly stimulated by the death of her parents. From then on, her memory and reality crossed, which meant that she could not distinguish between reality and fantasy, nor could she restrain her ability to act.
Mengmeng was also a poor child. Her parents left her a company when she died, but she was too young to manage it. Jiang Miao's parents sold the company, and all the money was in Mengmeng's name, enough for her to eat and wear for the rest of her life.
"Chen Qing, that's about it." Jiang Miao looked at me. "She came to you because of me. I apologize to you. You can come at me for whatever you want."
"What are you talking about? I still owe you a favor for Sally, and you helped me without asking for anything, not to mention Mengmeng... Let it go." I sighed. "But can you guarantee that this won't happen again? I'm not a cat. I'm a human being. That's my life."
Jiang Miao crooked his lips. "Leave it to me. I'll talk to her."
"That's the only way." As soon as I finished speaking, Lu Buyuan, who left half an hour ago, came back.
"I heard about that girl..." Lu Buyuan saw Jiang Miao before he could finish. He smiled. "Young master Jiang?"
Jiang Miao stood up and shook his hand, then touched his shoulder. He looked very familiar. "That girl's name is Mengmeng. She's my friend. She doesn't have any family. I'll come and see if anything happens."
Lu Buyuan nodded. "Have you talked to chen qing about this?"
"Almost. Shall we have dinner tonight?" Jiang Miao invited us.
Neither Lu Buyuan nor I refused.
What surprised me was that Jiang Miao brought Mengmeng over for dinner tonight. The normal Mengmeng looked very cute. He was really cute when he was cute, and he was really quiet when he was quiet, but...
I tried my best not to look at her face. I was afraid that I couldn't help but think about what happened this afternoon.
"Mengmeng, Chen Qing, let me formally introduce you." Jiang miao turned to look at Mengmeng and then at me. "This is Mengmeng. I saw it as a sister. As for Chen Qing, I saw it as a buddy. You guys are about the same age. It doesn't matter to me to be friends."
Mengmeng picked up the cup and smiled shyly. "Chen Qing, Miaomiao has explained your relationship to me. I'm sorry. I was too impulsive before. Miaomiao said I'm not in good health. Please forgive me."
I smiled and had a drink with her.
To be honest, she made me feel terrible. I really didn't want to have anything to do with her.
At the end of the meal, I kept smiling and eating. There were times when my eyes flashed across Jiang Miao and Mengmeng, and I could see her looking at me, as if there was some kind of disgust. I wasn't sure if Jiang Miao could really handle her. Anyway, I had to guard against her.
After dinner, I immediately packed up and wanted to go home. Lu Buyuan said to accompany me. We didn't say hello to Jiang Miao and the others. We drove back to the city at seven or eight o' clock.
"Are you scared?" Lu Buyuan asked me.
I nodded. "Psycho, it's only natural if she's not afraid. If she kills people and doesn't go to jail, then not only will I lose my life, I won't get the compensation I deserve. This business is not worth it."
He chuckled and rubbed his nose. "I suddenly think you look like a person."
"Who is it? She's really lucky to be like me."
"Ah Jing." Lu Buyuan's words made me look sad. "Don't get me wrong. I didn't mean anything else. In fact, Ah Jing wasn't like this when he was young. He would joke occasionally. He had a good plan."
I said, not wanting to start a conversation around Fu Jing. I felt bad. "This is what most people do. You say I live alone in this world for no reason. If something happens, there's really nothing left. I don't want anything, but this life has to be saved. So, for someone like Mengmeng, I have to avoid anything."
