Chapter 244

Author: Qin Ruoxu MACHINE TRANSLATION

Three days later, late at night, the rain was heavy and dreary.

The smoke-gray Bentley drove through the heavy rain and into the carved gate of the Blue Mountain Villa.

It was dark inside the villa, almost blending in with the endless night.

The man drank wine, turned off the fire, and didn’t get out immediately. Instead, he took out a cigarette box, lit one, and smoked.

The night was very dark, only the dim light of the garden lights and a little scarlet in the man’s hand. Other than that, the world seemed to have no other color.

Other than the darkness, there was darkness everywhere.

After sitting like this for a long time, the man pushed open the car door and got out with his long legs.

The bodyguards in the villa were reduced by half. Zhang Sao was the only servant left. The rest were all sent away by him.

He did not have an umbrella. The downpour of raindrops wet his neat short hair and broad shoulders.

The raindrops were extremely cold. They entered his lungs and went straight to his bone marrow.

The heating in the villa was turned on. He opened the door and walked in. The warm air quickly dispersed the cold air all over his body.

The light in the hall was orange. He lowered his head, and something seemed to be missing from his sight.

Almost immediately, he noticed that the pair of pink bunny ears girl slippers that were placed next to the gray men’s slippers had disappeared.

He frowned. There was almost nothing in his deep sea-like eyes, but it was bottomless.

He changed into the slippers and walked in. Suddenly, he felt thirsty. He raised his feet and suddenly turned around, walking toward the open kitchen.

The refrigerator was very clean. Other than the few brands of ice drinks that he usually drank, there was nothing else.

There were no snacks that girls often ate, fruits that were randomly placed, yogurt, and even more colorless.

In the past, in this villa, other than black, white, and gray, there were also pink and white. Those bright colors appeared.

But now, it seemed that those colors had suddenly disappeared.

He took a bottle of ice drink, opened it, and drank a few mouthfuls. Even he himself did not realize that his eyebrows were almost locked together. The coolness spread, as if water could drip out.

After a few more mouthfuls, he turned around and walked toward the stairway.

When he passed by the dining room, he subconsciously glanced at the dining table. There was no pink Cartoon Cup, Pink Heat Insulation Mat, and the pink cutlery that the girl usually drank from.

He retracted his gaze and looked at the living room again. The cartoon-patterned blankets, art coffee cups, and health-preserving pots that were often scattered on the Sofa were all gone.

The entire house seemed to have lost all traces of her life.

He turned around and went upstairs to the study room. The books on the bookshelf were no longer hers. The notebook on the desk, the signature pen, and the tablet were all missing hers.

As if he could not believe what he had just seen, he went back to the bedroom and the cloakroom.

There was nothing there. There was nothing there.

His heart felt as if it had been hit hard by something. It hurt like hell.

He went out of the cloakroom and went downstairs again. He went straight to knock on Zhang Sao’s door.

It was already two o’clock in the morning. He knocked on the door several times before Zhang Sao opened the door with her sleepy eyes.

“young master, it’s already so late? What’s the matter? ”

She had helped man man pack up all day and was very tired. She had gone to bed early. When she heard the knocking on the door, she thought that she was dreaming.

“where are her things? Where are her things? Didn’t I say that no one is allowed to touch her things? ”

Zhang Sao was still in a daze after waking up. After hearing what he said, she reacted for quite a while before she understood what he meant.

“Oh, man man is resting today, so she came over to take all her things away… ”

Zhang Sao paused and seemed to be in disbelief. “Didn’t she tell you when she came back to take the things? ”

Although the two of them were going through the divorce process, they didn’t go so far as to not even say a word.

Unless, man man really didn’t want to have anything to do with him anymore.

Ji Yunshen’s eyes were indifferent, but there was a sense of oppression that couldn’t be ignored. It was as if he had suddenly regained his rationality and calmness, so indifferent that it made people feel at a loss.

“So many things, how did she take them? ”

Zhang Sao pursed her lips and considered her words for a few seconds before she said softly, “man man did not take much. The rest was thrown away. ”

“thrown away? ”

The man laughed softly, his tone was as calm as a stream, clean but unable to touch the bottom. “where did she throw them? ”

“In the trash can outside. ”

Zhang Sao’s voice became softer and softer, because she really could not capture Ji Yunshen’s emotions, and could not distinguish between happiness and anger.

“very good. ”

The man’s smile became deeper and deeper. Almost in the next second, he turned around and left Zhang Sao’s room, striding out of the villa.

The heavy rain was still falling rapidly. The man walked slowly in the darkness until he reached the few garbage bins in the shadows of the trees.

The huge bins were tightly sealed. He flipped through them one by one. When he reached the last one, he finally saw many familiar items.

Pink Bunny Ears Slippers, Pink Cartoon Cups, blankets, heat insulation pads, books, and many clothes.

These were clearly just bits and pieces of life, but he remembered them clearly.

What was this?

The rain had already soaked most of the man’s clothes. The bodyguards around him wanted to pass him an umbrella, but he raised his hand to stop them.

The cold rain hit his body. Although it was very uncomfortable, it could at least wake him up and make him completely awake.

He had always thought that Love was something that only Han ‘er could give him.

But at this moment, he finally knew what love really looked like.

He seemed to have fallen in love with her a long time ago.

This girl who had turned his life upside down, Qiao man, was three years old.

…

It was already six o’clock in the morning when he put everything back in place.

Zhang Sao had already walked out of the room and started to prepare breakfast.

When she saw the man sitting on the Sofa, who had been smoking cigarettes for an unknown amount of time, she was still stunned for a moment.

The Transparent Ashtray on the SOFA in front of him was already filled with cigarette butts, and the entire living room was filled with the thick smell of smoke. Just smelling it made people feel like they could not breathe properly.

And these were not the most shocking things.

The most shocking thing was that the things that she had helped man man throw away the day before had returned to their original positions.

“Zhang Sao, I’ll give you a few days off. I want to be alone. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Sao hurriedly nodded and replied, “alright, young master. ”

After saying this, she returned to her room to pack her things and quickly left the Blue Mountain villa.

Following Zhang Sao’s departure, the entire villa was deathly silent.

After an unknown period of time, the man’s phone on the Sofa vibrated and broke the silence in the villa.

He glanced at the phone screen, his slender fingers swiped the answer button, and secretary Yang’s deep voice came from the other end “President Ji, so many days have passed, and the woman behind Li Qing has finally surfaced. She called Li Qing for thirty seconds and only said one sentence. I took it to do an audio analysis and matched the sound waves of two people. The first was Jiang Meng, and the second was… … Miss Ji Han.”

Jiang Meng, Han ‘er?

“In other words… one of these two people is Li Qing’s girlfriend. ”

Secretary Yang withstood the pressure and found out who was behind it. Although he was excited, when he found out who was behind it, he fell into deep thought.

Jiang Meng and Ji Han. No matter which one of them was related to Li Qing, it meant that they were inextricably linked to that matter.

Ji Yunshen raised his hand and rubbed the space between his brows. He looked extremely exhausted. “okay, I got it. ”

After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone when he heard Secretary Yang on the other end of the line “President Ji, young Master Fang came to the company to look for you yesterday afternoon. He seemed to have something urgent. Since last night, your phone has been switched off. I didn’t have the time to tell you… ”

“okay, I got it. I’m hanging up. ”

After cutting off the communication, the man’s back was deeply embedded in the back of the Leather Sofa. Outside the window, there was a rare bright sunshine. He fiddled with the phone in his hand a few times before standing up and walking out of the villa.

…

It was the end of another day of selling alcohol. Qiao Man’s seven-centimeter high heels were so painful that her toes were almost broken.

She changed her clothes and changed her high heels. Then, facing the night wind, she walked to the side of the road.

Just as she walked to the side of the road, she heard the roar of an engine. She looked over and saw a car driving Yuanguang at high speed. The headlights were dazzling, and she raised her hand to block the strong light.

It was late at night, and a car was speeding over. No matter who thought about it, they would think that a car accident was about to happen.

Her hand that blocked the bright light covered her eyes tightly in the next second, waiting for the pain to come.

A second or two passed, and she only heard the deafening sound of the brakes. Then, the car that was driving at the speed of wind stopped steadily two centimeters away from her legs.

From this, it could be seen that the driver’s driving skills.

Perhaps it was because it had been too long that she thought of taking her hand away and opening her eyes to take a look.

Through the windshield of the white sports car, she saw an exquisite and familiar face of a woman.

It was Xiao Meng.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds before Xiao Meng pushed open the car door and walked over. Her pure eyes were filled with sharpness.

She walked over in a few steps and smiled. “Man Man, let’s talk? ”

This seemed to be the first time the two of them had spoken to each other face to face since they knew that he and Jiang Yingdong were sleeping together.

There was no sarcasm or sarcasm.

Some things had dragged on for too long, and it was time to put an end to it.

Qiao man laughed softly and nodded calmly. “Sure! ”

If she did not come to look for her, she would take the initiative to look for the Xiao Sisters. It was just right.

After getting into the car, Xiao Meng drove all the way to the misty rain building. The two of them went in one after the other and found a private room to sit in.

Just as they entered, Qiao man heard a bang. Xiao Meng knelt on the ground with both knees facing her. Her eyes were looking straight ahead. Her long hair covered her face in a shadow, and her expression could not be seen clearly.

“Qiao Man, I know you hate me, but you must not ruin my sister’s life just because you hate me. “.

Qiao man looked down at Xiao Meng from above. She suddenly did not know whether to laugh or do something.

“If you still like Yingdong, I can return him to you. Please be merciful. ”

Xiao Meng’s words really made Qiao man a little confused.

What did she do to make her act like this all of a sudden?

“If Miss Xiao had explained things clearly, I might have hoped that this conversation would continue. After all, it’s two o’clock in the morning, and people are not that clear-headed. ”

Xiao Meng was still the same as before. She could still smile like a flower when she was at her most pathetic state.

“Man Man, my sister’s child is already gone. Big Brother Lu has been put under house arrest again, and he has cut off all contact with my sister. The Qiao Corporation’s stock has plummeted, and all the shareholders have ganged up to attack. I really don’t understand. What else are you not satisfied with “Is it really like you said, one dead body and two lives. Will you be satisfied? ”

Qiao man squatted down and looked at Xiao Meng. “Xiao Meng, do you think that I did all this? ”

“Isn’t that so? ”

“Of course not. ” Qiao man looked at her, her eyes seemed to reflect the stars in the sky. “If it were me, I would only let you guys suffer even more than this. So, I don’t know who did all this. You also begged the wrong person. ”

“Qiao Man, do you have to push yourself to the bottom? ”

Xiao Meng seemed to have heard a big joke. She wanted to laugh but also wanted to cry “You asked Ying Dong to take away Lin Yan’s video. I lost my only bargaining chip. But once this bargaining chip is exposed to the public, we sisters will first become the target of public criticism. So, do you still want to say that it has nothing to do with you? ”

Qiao man blinked her eyes and seemed to react for a while before saying, “wait a minute, there’s too much information in Miss Xiao’s words. Let me analyze it carefully. ”

At this point, Qiao man paused and said, “are you saying that the backup that Jiang Yingdong took away from you is the only backup that you have, and there are no other copies? And the person who released this video is someone else? ”

Xiao Meng maintained her posture and did not move at all. “Man man, if I didn’t know that you studied criminal psychology, I might have been deceived by you. I even wanted to believe that this matter has nothing to do with you. ”

“It’s not me. ”

Qiao man stood up and walked to the French window. She took out a cigarette box from her bag and lit it up. Then, she started smoking.

She had quit smoking for a long time and was starting to smoke again.

“Now that things have come to this point, I will do everything openly. On the contrary, both of you will do the same, so I don’t have to deny it. ”

Xiao Meng looked up at the girl’s figure reflected in the French window. After a while, she slowly stood up and walked to her side.

After looking out of the French window for a few times, she reached out and took the cigarette box and lighter from the girl’s hand. She took out a cigarette and lit it up. Then, she started to smoke.

When she opened her mouth again, her voice was already somewhat sexy and hoarse from the smoke. She said, “No matter who it is, they didn’t leave us any way out. But I remember that when a rabbit is anxious, it still bites people, let alone someone who has reached the end of the road. ”

She paused and said, “man man, those who are barefoot will never be afraid of wearing shoes. We’ll see. ”

Perhaps, Xiao Meng never believed that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Since this matter had already become a fait accompli in her mind, the more she said, the more sincere she was. In her eyes, it would instead become a thorn.

A prank.

…

After torturing herself until this point, she was already hungry.

She randomly ordered a few dishes to appease her stomach and left the misty rain restaurant.

The night was still dark. A late-night love column was playing on the taxi’s radio.

It turned out that she was not the only person in this city who had suffered emotional trauma and was lonely.

About half an hour later, the taxi drove to the Green Dragon Lake apartment. She paid for the taxi and got off. Then, she hurried into the depths of the courtyard.

Tonight, the stars and moon were very bright. They sprinkled on the ground and mixed with the various garden lights, emitting a dazzling dim light.

She stepped on the shadow and walked all the way to the door of the apartment.

The door light and the porch light were on. She opened the door of the apartment, and the warmth from inside washed away all the coldness on her body.

At this time, Qin Yulan had already fallen asleep.

Although she knew that she had fallen asleep, she had to check on her every night when she came back.

She pushed the door open, but the lights were not on. There was a small ball on the big bed. She breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when she heard a whimper.

The night was too quiet. She even felt that she was hearing things.

She stood there for a while until she was sure that she was hearing things. Only then did she leave her room.

Just as she closed the door, she seemed to hear another whimper.

This time, it was very clear and did not seem like she was hearing things.

She did not hesitate and pushed open the door to the room. She walked towards the side of the bed.

She turned on the bedside lamp and a warm orange light poured out. She lifted the blanket and what she saw was a shocking red.

Blood, there was blood everywhere.

Qiao man’s hands and feet instantly turned cold and blood flowed backwards.

She was stunned for a full three seconds before she bent down and tried to cover the blood that was flowing out of Qin Yulan’s neck.

There was a knife on the carpet beside the bed and it was stained with blood. Her first reaction was that Qin Yulan had committed suicide.

Moreover, she had a history of mental illness.

However, she had studied medicine and knew that this kind of knife wound was definitely not a suicide incision. Instead, it seemed to be someone else’s intentional injury.

There was no time left. She took out her cell phone and dialed 120 while she was doing first aid.

After hanging up, she dialed another number and dialed it almost unconsciously.

“Man Man. ”

Ji Yunshen drank at night to cultivate his sleepiness. It could be said that he was sleeping soundly at this time. However, when he saw that it was her phone in a daze, the surging sleepiness disappeared in half in an instant.

“Ji Yunshen, someone has entered the Azure Dragon Lake apartment. My mother is injured. Can you rush over? I’M A little scared! ”

“Wait for me, I’ll be there soon. ”

The man put on a set of clothes and rushed out of the villa. He arrived at the Azure Dragon Lake apartment at almost the same time as Qiao man’s ambulance.

Qiao man was covered in blood as she followed behind the group of doctors. Just as she was about to step into the ambulance, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of her eye.

He walked over in two or three steps and got into the ambulance with her.

The doctors in the ambulance were doing first aid. Qiao man watched from the side, but she could not do anything.

She had thought that after experiencing so many waves and waves, she would not panic when she was in trouble.

But reality proved that she had not experienced enough.

Ji Yunshen reached out and pulled her into his arms. He comforted her gently, “it’s okay, it’ll be okay. ”

Qiao man nodded gently in his arms. She did not know if it was tears or sweat that slid down her cheeks, but the coldness was refreshing.

When they arrived at the hospital, Qin Yulan was sent to the emergency room, and she could only stand outside the door.

Ji Yunshen was smoking a cigarette as he watched her pacing back and forth with a heavy heart. After a long while, he finally said, “man man, come over and have a seat. ”

Qiao man didn’t listen at all. Right now, she could only use this method to drive away her fear.

Ji Yunshen saw that she had calmed down quite a bit, so he got up and walked to the staircase to make a phone call.

After a few beeps, Secretary Yang swiped the answer button. “CEO JI, it’s so late. Is there anything you need? ”

“Yes, send a few people to check the Azure Dragon Lake apartment. ”

“Yes, Mr. Ji. ”

In the ambulance at 120, Ji Yunshen had observed Qin Yulan’s wound. From the degree of injury, it seemed that Qin Yulan was familiar with someone who had injured her when she was unprepared.

The knife had clearly used a lot of force, and it had almost cut her windpipe. When she woke up, it would be a question whether she could speak again.

The operation lasted for about two hours. The attending doctor had issued a critical notice for a total of six times. It was not until two hours later that Qin Yulan was out of danger.

The lights in the operating theater changed from red to green. The door was pulled open, and the attending doctor walked out. His tone was stiff and solemn, which was typical of a medical doctor.

“Mr. Ji, Miss Qiao, Ms. Qin’s life is not in danger anymore, but her throat is severely damaged. She may not be able to make a sound for the rest of her life. ”

After the attending doctor gave them a comforting look and a hand gesture, he hurriedly walked away to prepare for the next emergency treatment.

After a few nurses pushed Qin Yulan into the ward, Qiao man looked at the man next to her. “thank you for tonight. I’m really sorry for disturbing your sleep. ”

At that moment of panic, her mind was filled with his figure.

It was as if he was her life-saving Straw, and only by grabbing onto him could she save her life.

“The azure Dragon Lake apartment is no longer safe. You can move back here. ”

The man’s gaze was deep, and there was no emotion in his tone, but there was a pressing sense of oppression.

“There’s no need. I’ll find a place to stay. I won’t trouble you. ”

After he heard that, he walked over in a few steps, and his voice seemed to be tainted with boundless darkness.

He said, “Manman, there are some things that you have to experience alone. What I can do is to give you the peace of time. However, the premise of the peace of time is that you have to have a strong heart. In the path of politics and business, every wrong step will cause people to lose their lives and be doomed forever. And the current you is also the same. ”

The current her was also walking in the midst of a bloody storm. As long as she was slightly careless, she would be doomed forever.

“thank you. I will be strong. ”

Was the peace of time good?

It sounded tempting, but how could it compare to the time of peace?

…

In the end, she let him leave.

Perhaps she felt that as long as he was around, she couldn’t help but want to rely on him and get close to him.

Or perhaps it was because of the time of peace that he mentioned.

Because she knew that it was too far away. It was like the stars in the sky, out of reach.

She did not ask anyone for help. Instead, she called the police. It took the police a day to identify the suspect.

It was Tang Qian, who had disappeared for a long time.

She charged Tang Qian with intentional assault. But, before she could file the complaint, news of Tang Qian’s suicide came.

From the time she got married until now, the entire incident had been like a chess game. Everyone was like a chess piece, while everyone was like a person outside of the game. It was hard to see and grasp.

She sat in front of the hospital’s floor-to-ceiling window in a daze and looked out at the torrential rain. It was as if she was immersed in a dreary atmosphere.

It was not until her phone vibrated that she came back to her senses. “Xiao Qiao, a few big shots have come to mansion number one. If you come over to sell alcohol, you will definitely make a lot of money tonight. ”

Qiao man glanced at Qin Yulan who was lying on the hospital bed and said calmly, “I will rush over now. ”
