Hanyue Qin returned from his business trip and continued his high-intensity work. He was entangled with busy affairs that he couldn't get away.
Two days after returning from the business trip, he rushed to Lincheng again.
Ying Qiao also seemed to be busy with He Xiao’s matters all the time.
Hanyue Qin, who was working overtime, took the time to send Ying Qiao a message.
[Are you tutoring your classmates tonight too?]
[Yeah]
Hanyue Qin looked at the brief reply and was silent for a moment.
[Rest early] He sent the message to her.
When Ying Qiao saw that Hanyue Qin seemed to have nothing to say, she was about to chat with him for a while, but He Xiao came over at this time with a laptop and asked her questions.
Hanyue Qin saw the screen display: [The other party is typing...] He waited for a long time, but no message was sent.
His mood went from anticipation to disappointment.
After He Xiao left, Ying Qiao opened her phone and looked at the chat page between the two. It was quite late now. Ying Qiao thought about it and didn't disturb his rest. She turned off her phone and went upstairs.
Ying Qiao was pestered by the people from the 509 Supervision Bureau.
Just after leaving the school,
She saw two people waiting for her at the school gate.
The middle-aged man was called Liang Feng.
Seeing Ying Qiao, Liang Feng immediately came up with a smile. Compared to last time, he was extremely affable this time.
He habitually took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Ying Qiao. Facing Ying Qiao's indifferent eyes, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly and handed the cigarette to He Xiao instead.
But it was ignored. Liang Feng didn't care either.
Liang Feng told Ying Qiao his full name, and then solemnly issued a sincere invitation to her on behalf of the 509 Supervision Bureau again.
Ying Qiao: "I said I'm not interested in your department."
If it was a few days ago, the young man who followed Liang Feng would have arrogantly given Ying Qiao a look to let her experience it herself.
But he didn't dare now.
Liang Feng: "You can ask for whatever conditions you want."
Ying Qiao: "Have you found evidence?"
Liang Feng: "What evidence do we need to find when things are resolved?"
Ying Qiao’s steps paused for a moment.
The two saw there was a chance.
Ying Qiao: "So that's how your department does things?"
Just as Liang Feng was about to ask what she meant.
He heard Ying Qiao say, "I'm just a student, I don't have that much ability."
Liang Feng stared at Ying Qiao, who was two rounds younger than him, and asked dubiously along her words: "Then who was it?"
Ying Qiao: "Hanyue Qin, go recruit him and appoint him to an important position."
Liang Feng: "Uh..."
After Ying Qiao finished speaking, she left.
"She really wasn't the one who did it, Commander?" The young man looked at Ying Qiao's departing back.
In the evening,
He Xiao brought the dumplings he had packed to the hospital.
Xiao’s Mother heard about the big turmoil on the Internet in recent days from the TV and nurses. She worriedly asked He Xiao about it.
He Xiao: "It's okay. My classmates are fine too."
Only then was Xiao’s Mother relieved: "That's good."
Looking at He Xiao lowered his head and ate dumplings in big mouthfuls, Xiao’s Mother shakily scooped the dumplings from her bowl into He Xiao’s bowl, one after another, most of them went to He Xiao. Then she smiled and watched him eat.
He Xiao looked at his mother: "Eat by yourself."
"Okay." Xiao’s Mother scooped up a dumpling and took a bite, looking at the filling inside: "Pork and scallions? Don't you dislike eating scallions?"
He Xiao: "It was too late. There wasn't much left to sell. And there's nothing I can't eat."
Looking at her son's haggard face, Xiao’s Mother smiled slightly after quite a while, "Your dad hasn't bothered you recently, has he?"
He Xiao: "Mmm."
Xiao’s Mother worried: "He can't find me, so he must be taking it out on you."
He Xiao: "Don't be afraid."
"Do you still remember when you were seven years old, just because I didn't go to buy him alcohol, he threatened to kill me with a knife. At that time you were so young, but you dared to say that you would fight with him to the death. Your small body blocked in front of your mother. And you didn't even dodge when that kitchen knife hacked down."
He Xiao: "Let's not think about the past. And don't mention him again."
Xiao’s Mother looked at He Xiao with her eyes dimmed by illness, and smiled slightly: "Okay, I won't mention him."
After easing her mood, she changed the subject: "How are you getting along with Ms. Qiao? Is she still tutoring you?"
He Xiao: "Mmm."
Xiao’s Mother: “This child is so kind. When you’re capable in the future, we must repay her properly.”
He Xiao: "Mmm."
Ying Qiao dried her hair after taking a shower. At this moment, Huo Chengdong sent a message. When she opened it, it was a photo.
Judging from the angle, it was taken sneakily.
The photo showed Hanyue Qin, whom she hadn't seen for many days. He was still dressed in a suit as usual. Huo Chengdong took it from behind Hanyue Qin. Only a tall back could be seen indistinctly.
But Ying Qiao recognized it at a glance.
The background of the photo was a hotel lobby.
Beside Hanyue Qin, apart from Yan Qin, there was a blonde foreign woman. The woman was holding out her hand, and the picture was frozen at the moment the woman was about to pull Hanyue Qin. Whether she finally pulled him or not was unknown.
The woman was beautiful and elegant.
Huo Chengdong: [Sis Qiao, I caught this scumbag fooling around outside behind your back. Going for foreign chicks too, he's got some nerve!]
[Sis Qiao, just one word from you and I'll rush up and confront him now] Huo Chengdong was lurking not far behind Hanyue Qin like a paparazzo, waiting for Ying Qiao's order.
But he didn't get Ying Qiao's order after waiting for a long time.
Ying Qiao swiped right to exit the chat with Huo Chengdong, then scrolled down and found Hanyue Qin.
The chat record between them stopped two days ago.
The next day at school, Huo Chengdong squeezed next to Ying Qiao and lowered his voice, "Sis Qiao, did you kill him?"
While speaking, his eyes were still warily watching the surroundings, extremely like an informant making contact.
Ying Qiao glanced at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Huo Chengdong looked at her: "Didn't you keep ignoring my messages last night because you went to kill those adulterous couple?" As he spoke, he even made a slashing throat gesture.
Ying Qiao: "It was you who ruined Hanyue Qin's reputation."
Huo Chengdong: "I saw it with my own eyes, I have photos as evidence. I sent you dozens of photos, didn't you see them?"
Huo Chengdong flipped through the photos to show her one by one.
Ying Qiao: "Get lost."
Last night, Hanyue Qin worked overtime until midnight. He completed a small part of tomorrow's work in advance and left time for the evening.
At noon, he called home and told the chef to cook a bowl of chicken soup. In the early evening, after the chicken soup was delivered, Hanyue Qin took the chicken soup and left the company.
After not seeing each other for many days, Hanyue Qin missed her dearly.
A message came in and Hanyue Qin took out his phone to check it.
Yan Qin looked at the man in the rearview mirror and observed Hanyue Qin's expression, he couldn't see anything, but obviously something was up.
The sky darkened.
The car stopped outside the villa, but Hanyue Qin hesitated to get off, just sitting there.
Yan Qin was puzzled and looked towards the quiet villa.
Did Miss Qiao not at home?
Was Young Master Qin stood up again?
In the hospital, Xiao’s Mother who had been rescued persuaded her son bitterly.
"Xiao He, stop the treatment, let's go home. Mom wants to go home." Xiao’s Mother looked at her son's two arms full of old scars heartachingly.
He Xiao sat quietly by the bed: "We'll go back when you're better."
"I asked the nurse, treatment costs thousands per day, too expensive. I'll drag you down. Where do you get so much money?"
Xiao’s Mother's eyes were full of tears.
He Xiao: "I'll find a way."
Ying Qiao stood outside the ward listening to the conversation between the mother and son inside.
Then she turned and left.
It was after 10 pm when she returned to the neighborhood.
Ying Qiao was thinking and slowed down towards the villa.
From afar, she saw a Maybach parked outside the villa with Hanyue Qin standing in front of the car.
