"Mr Lu, I don't think I have anything to do with you anymore?" Du Ruqing looked coldly at Lu Juyan and shook off his hand. A cold smile rose on her lips as she couldn't help but mock him.
These words stunned Lu Juyan for a moment as he stood on the spot and looked at Du Liqing. Suddenly, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity. He opened his mouth, but realized that he could not say anything.
Du Ruqing didn't say anything else. He turned around and left this place, but he felt an inexplicable pain in his heart. He gritted his teeth silently and stubbornly refused to look back at Lu Juyan, thus missing out on the sadness that flashed through his eyes.
Suddenly, a muffled sound of thunder could be heard from the horizon as a bolt of lightning flashed across the dark sky. It was as if a scar had been cut across the sky. The rain began to fall, pouring down on the people on the street without umbrellas.
"It's raining." Gu Li stood under the nearby eaves and pulled Du Liqing, who was in a daze, over. He looked at the black hair on her head that was drenched by the rain water and subconsciously felt afraid of hitting it to prevent the rain water from seeping through and causing a cold.
The simple three words pulled Du Liqing back from his thoughts. As he looked at Gu Li, his eyes filled with tears, but he stubbornly refused to let them slide.
It was unknown if it was because the emotions in his heart were too suppressed or because the atmosphere was extremely depressing, but the tears that filled his eyes made him want to cry.
"You can go back first." Du Ruqing retreated a few steps, allowing the rain to fall on her body. Tears also seemed to flow from her eyes. She didn't want to let Gu Li notice her sadness. She looked away, and couldn't help but open her mouth to chase him away.
Without waiting for Gu Li's reply, she turned and left the place, walking step by step into the rain. He allowed the tears to flow down his face, so that no one would notice him. He smiled, but he felt bitter in his heart.
Gu Li looked at Du Yun's thin body and felt a faint sense of discomfort in his heart. His brows furrowed slightly. He followed behind her without saying a word, yet he felt worried and pained for her from the bottom of his heart.
Neither of them said a word. Neither of them planned to buy an umbrella from the neighboring store. They just allowed the rain to soak their bodies as their vision blurred.
Suddenly, the phone in Gu Li's pocket rang. He helplessly grabbed Du Liqing's hand, stood at a place where he could avoid the rain, and pressed the button to answer the call.
"Hello, Gu Li? Hurry up and come back, the military commander of the country has ordered for us to go to the customs office to guard the new mission! "
As soon as the call connected, the other party announced the order to Gu Li and had him rush over as fast as he could. From the looks of it, this was an extremely urgent task.
Gu Li turned his gaze to Du Liqing, who was squatting at the side and not moving. His heart was filled with worry, but he had no choice but to carry it out.
The person on the other side of the phone seemed to have felt that Gu Li had been too silent today. He neither replied nor hung up the phone. He couldn't help but inquire about the matter as he once again released the mission.
"Yes sir!" Due to the situation being too tense, Gu Li couldn't help but agree.
After hanging up, Gu Li walked over to Du Liqing's side and squatted down to look at her. He patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't get wet, go back."
Du Ruqing raised her head to look at Gu Li. She had long since heard the words that Gu Li had said to her, so she nodded her head in gratitude.
"Then I'll be going on a mission first. Be careful!" Gu Li was still worried about the other party, but his power wasn't on his side. He couldn't accompany Du Ruqing for too long, so he could only remind her.
He wasn't a procrastinator, so he hurriedly left the place after seeing Du Liqing nod. He headed towards the hotel, packed his things, and prepared to go to the location to complete the task.
Du Ruqing, who was squatting down, felt the numbness between her legs, making her subconsciously sit on the floor. The ice-cold feeling seeped through her entire body, but it was unable to conceal the uneasiness that filled her heart.
In this silent atmosphere, Du Yun's green cell phone suddenly rang, pulling her thoughts back to reality. She took out her cell phone and looked at the contact displayed on the screen – it was Xia Duo.
A hint of displeasure appeared on her face as she pressed the answer button. Before she could finish her sentence, she heard Xia Duo ask her, "Lin Qing, why aren't you staying at the party?"
The way she said it made Du Ruqing feel very funny, and her lips curled up into a mocking smile. Her gaze rested on the distant rain, waiting for her next words.
Xia Duo couldn't help but question again as she didn't hear the old man's words. Her tone was much more unyielding, and the anger in her words was clearly shown.
"Heh, why aren't you here either? Bring me over there so those people can rape me, right? Is your heart fed to the dogs? "
As Du Liqing listened to Xia Duo's words, she, who was constantly feeling cold in her heart, only felt a sense of nausea. Her aggressive attitude was only meant to warn the other party that she wasn't someone that was easy to provoke.
A few consecutive questions caused Xia Duo, who was holding the phone, to be stunned. In that instant, he didn't even know what to say. In the next second, Du Ruqing hung up the phone.
Not long after, the rain gradually stopped. Du Liqing stood up and walked step by step towards the hotel. Along the way, she kept calming the emotions in her heart, but it was useless.
On the other side, Xia Duo was searching for her location based on Du Liqing's green phone, and purposely found her. He had been following her from behind all this time.
"Hey, you guys go wait for her at the entrance of Du Ruqing's hotel." Xia Duo sat in the car, took out her cell phone and called the leader that she had made an appointment with, and prepared to give Du Ruqing a surprise.
Hearing the other party's agreement, Xia Duo's lips curled up into a sinister smile as she secretly pointed at Du Liangqing from the bottom of her heart. A look of resentment instantly appeared in her eyes.
Not long after, just as Du Liqing was about to reach the hotel, the group of people began to search for her figure.
"That woman is right in front. Grab her!" A sharp-eyed person caught sight of Du Liqing's figure and informed the surrounding people. He then started to prepare to rush over.
The other people all looked towards the direction that the person pointed to, and they all noticed Du Liqing's figure, and their eyes emitted a bright light. Everyone silently rushed over, ready to grab onto Du Liangqing and start to enjoy her body.
Hearing the voice, Du Ruqing looked up and found that the group of people who just left were all gathered here. He panicked and quickly ran back. His expression was one of utter panic. The way he was running was also very awkward. It was as if he was fleeing for his life.
