Qiao Nian raised her hand and pushed the door open.
The first thing that caught her eyes was the unconscious waiter on the ground, blocking her way like a puddle of mud.
Qiao Nian kicked the person on the ground away and looked up. The man frowned with thick eyebrows like swords. The wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to be able to kill a fly. The sweat on his forehead was like broken pearls. It rolled down and wet the broken hair on his forehead.
The collar of his shirt was slightly open on his chest, and his messy hair and eyes that looked up when he heard the movement happened to collide with hers.
Qiao Nian saw a hint of clarity in his dull eyes, and raised his dry thin lips: "Qiao..."
"Shut up!" Qiao Nian lowered his voice, feeling frustrated for a moment, as if his neck was being strangled by the collar of the sweater and it was difficult to breathe.
She walked over, first took the man's right hand, which was hidden from her attention, and forcibly opened his clenched fingers. When she lowered her head, she saw the bruises from the pinch.
The suffocation on her neck worsened, she pursed her lips slightly, forced herself to regain her senses, exhaled slightly, then squatted down to check if there were any other wounds on his body that she hadn't noticed...
She was just helping to check her body, without any extraneous and fascinating movements, but he couldn't help but breathe harder and use all his strength to fight against the raging medicine in his body.
"Don't..." He gasped quickly and reached out to stop Qiao Nian.
Qiao Nian ignored him, and after briefly checking that there were no other injuries on his body, she distanced herself from him.
"How could you be tricked?"
"...I'll explain to you later." The man's voice was hoarse and sharp, and his breath was like hot lava.
"My car is parked outside, just drop me off."
"Do you think the person who drugged you didn't think of this?" Qiao Nian said, "Have you been out for a while? When they find out that you haven't gone back, they will look for you. Since the other party has fallen into this trap, they will not let you easily Leave." After saying that, she went over to support the man, put his arm on her shoulders and walked to the floor below the fire escape.
While asking: "Do you know who drugged you?"
"...Not sure." He was really absent-minded and had a hard time concentrating. Most of his strength was gone from his body, and he had to rely on Qiao Nian to barely move.
Qiao Nian's thin but powerful body supported him, her half-closed eyes were filled with light and shadow, and she said after a while: "I saw Sai Lan."
At the same time that Sai Lan saw her back, Qiao Nian also saw Sai Lan and Eleanor coming in from the entrance behind the green plants that turned the corner.
She was just worried about the safety of the people inside, so she left quickly without staying.
"She's here too." Qiao Nian didn't go into too much detail, just a vague sentence and let him think about the rest.
She didn't quite believe that a mother would use such methods on her son, but it would be a different matter if the person was Sai Lan.
She always felt that Sai Lan had some crazy energy in him. When she first went to the island, Sai Lan could risk his life to pretend to be weak and incompetent.
Later, he was manipulating the situation behind his back, turning the capital city and the sea upside down.
Qiao Nian didn't want to say too much at this time, so she changed her tone and abruptly changed the topic: "In short, we definitely can't leave now."
Qiao Nian felt a heavy weight on her shoulders, and her hot breath pressed against the back of her neck. He seemed to be enveloping her in his arms from behind.
"Then what are you going to do?" (End of Chapter)
