At the Police Station of City Lin, Country A.
The air was suffocating in the narrow and dim room, with a deathly silence.
Yang Bin curled up on the hard bed with his dull and lifeless eyes, showing not the slightest bit of light. The famous brand clothes on him were also wrinkled and could barely be recognized.
Yesterday, at two o’clock in the early morning, he lay on the bed and couldn’t fall asleep, tossing and turning around. The scene that Qin Shu was lying in the pool of blood occupied his mind.
Although he was not the driver who caused the accident, and legally speaking, Qin Shu’s accident had nothing to do with him, Yang Bin’s heart was still filled with lingering fear.
And very soon, this fear reached the peak when the police came to him in the middle of the night!
Yang Bin was locked in a narrow and secluded place. No matter how loudly he roared and shouted, how hard he kicked the door, it was useless.
“Why did you arrest me? You abused your power!”
“You’d better set me free, or else you will pay for what you did!”
“I’ll go to reporters to get you police scums exposed!”
No one responded outside the room. Yang Bin tried his best to hide the fear in his heart with anger.
He knew it very well to himself that, no matter how rich and influential he acted like in front of Tang Anru in ordinary times, he actually couldn’t compare with even a single one of Qi Mingran’s fingers.
Especially when facing the absolute power, he didn’t have the slightest chance of winning. Like right now, he was locked up in this room, and he had been driven into a desperate corner!
In this enclosed space, he only had a set of clothes left on him. Everything else had been searched and taken away, so he had no idea what the time was now.
When someone finally came to take him out, it was already two days later.
Yang Bin was very excited. “Are you going to let me out? I can go now?”
“Daydreaming.” The young policeman sneered when he locked the ice-cold handcuffs on Yang Bin’s wrist. “It’s against the law to instigate others to insult and slander citizens. Don’t tell me you don’t even know this little common knowledge in law!”
Yang Bin’s entire body stiffened and he shouted even more excitedly, “I, I didn’t! You don’t have any evidence, how can you arrest me casually!”
The young policeman said with disdain, “Do you think us policemen have nothing to do and arrest you people just for fun? Humph, you don’t need to deny it so quickly. Let’s see how you can argue later!”
Soon, Yang Bin was taken to the interrogation room, where two men in police uniforms sat.
Of course, the four women who insulted and beat Qin Shu were also present.
As soon as Yang Bin entered, those women immediately shouted, “That’s right, it’s him! Police officer, it’s him who instigated us! We didn’t know anything, we were just paid to do what we were told to!”
“What-what nonsense are you talking about!” Yang Bin panicked and his face turned pale.
The interrogator questioned him expressionlessly, “Yang Bin, did you instigate them to slander, scold, and beat Qin Shu?”
Yang Bin shook his head heavily. “No, I didn’t!”
“You did!” one of the women said sharply, who then revealed a hint of complacence on her face. “Police officer, I have sound recording evidence.”
What?
Yang Bin’s entire body stiffened again. He helplessly watched the woman take out a small recording device. And soon, his voice came out from the device. It was the last few sentences he said to these women when he was negotiating with them.
These few sentences were already enough!
These women worked in nightclubs, how would they not keep evidence in case of putting themselves in danger? Otherwise, they would have been swallowed by big fish long ago.
The interrogator stared at Yang Bin. “What else do you have to say?”
Yang Bin’s face was as white as a sheet, his heart filled with fear. He only had one thought in his mind: Will he be sentenced?
…
In the military general hospital of City Lin.
A special forces SUV slowly entered the hospital.
In the car, Adjutant Li reported the interrogation situation at the police station to Ling Mohan.
Ling Mohan was refreshing his spirit with his eyes closed. After hearing Adjutant Li’s report, he asked coldly, “So to speak, did the driver have nothing to do with that brat surnamed Yang?”
“No,” Adjutant Li said with certainty. “The driver was drunk when he was driving. He didn’t know Yang Bin. So Miss Qin’s car crash was considered an accident.”
An accident?
Ling Mohan opened his eyes with his brows knotted tightly. The sentence Qin Shu said before she fainted in the car accident sounded in his ears: the Qin family owed you two lives, and now I’ll pay off with my life!
What was the relationship between Little Qin Shu and that woman named Tang Anru? Why did Qin Shu say she owed the other party two lives?
Thinking of this, Ling Mohan gave an order and said to Adjutant Li, “Go investigate that woman named Tang Anru.”
“The one who has a close relationship with Yang Bin?” Adjutant Li was a little puzzled. Was colonel suspecting that the woman was the one who instigated Yang Bin in secret to murder Miss Qin?
“Yes, investigate her clearly,” Ling Mohan said coldly and his dark eyes slightly narrowed.
He always felt that woman was not simple!
The military vehicle stopped. Ling Mohan opened the door and got off the car. He strode into the hospital. The way he walked was vigorous and speedy, attracting many people’s attention.
“That officer is so cool!”
“He’s so handsome! I wonder if he has a girlfriend.”
“It’s said that the colder a man is, the more he will pamper a woman. This is called ‘cold on the surface but warm in the inside’!”
There were a few young girls who were extremely excited. Their faces flushed red and they really wanted to go up and hook up with Ling Mohan.
However, for fear of Ling Mohan’s powerful and cool imposing manner, they really did not have the courage and could only helplessly watch Ling Mohan leave.
Ling Mohan took the elevator to the advanced ward. He pushed open the ward door. The nurse in charge of the bed affairs was doing daily checks for Qin Shu.
“Come, the family member, come over and help the patient roll over.” The nurse tacitly considered Ling Mohan as Qin Shu’s family member because he had frequently appeared in the ward these past two days. The nurse did not hesitate to order Ling Mohan about, and she ignored Ling Mohan’s identity without scruple.
Of course, the main reason was because Qin Shu said to the nurse like this after she woke up, “This military commander is too idle. If you have anything needs to be done, just tell him to do it.”
Qin Shu would never admit that she had said that on purpose.
But Qin Shu didn’t expect that Ling Mohan wasn’t angry. He was staying in the ward with her for two nights in a row. He helped turn over her body, wash her face, feed her water, and so on. More importantly, he had done all of the above quite presentably.
At this moment, Qin Shu still could not move freely, and she couldn’t even sit up. To put it in one sentence as conclusion, it was that she couldn’t take care of herself.
After the nurse left, Ling Mohan and Qin Shu were the only ones who were left in the ward again.
Qin Shu was extremely bored. She opened her eyes wide and stared at the ceiling. Suddenly, she remembered something. “Hey, where’s my phone?”
“It’s broken.” Ling Mohan stood beside the sickbed. “What do you want to eat tonight?”
“There’s too much I want to eat! I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, crisp chicken, stewed eggplant, stewed beef with potatoes…” Qin Shu only had rice porridge as her food ever since she woke up. It was so tasteless in her mouth that she even dreamed of herself nibbling on appetizing chicken claws at night.
Ling Mohan raised his eyebrows and nodded. “Okay.”
“Eh?” Qin Shu was overjoyed. Could she eat these food now?
Ling Mohan walked to the door and said to Adjutant Li, “Go buy a rice porridge.”
Qin Shu: “…”
This bastard must have done it on purpose!
As night fell, bright street lamps lit up outside the hospital.
Adjutant Li sent over the documents from the military that needed to be dealt with. Ling Mohan sat on the sofa and read them one by one with a focused and serious expression. His thin lips were closed slightly and looked a little cold.
Qin Shu was very bored, so she stared at him. The more she looked at him, the more she thought this bastard was too good-looking.
The key point was that Ling Mohan not only had a good appearance and figure, but he also possessed extremely outstanding abilities. Plus his eminent background, no wonder that so many women flocked to him.
Even the lady of ice that Xia Lun spoke of treated Ling Mohan differently.
The photo in the book flashed across Qin Shu’s mind. For an instant, she wanted to ask Ling Mohan very badly: Do you regret forcing me to marry you?
But before she could speak those words, Ling Mohan suddenly raised his head and looked over at her.
The line of their sights collided in the air. Qin Shu suddenly felt like she was caught peeking, so her cheeks heated up uncontrollably. But she asked first and pretended she had done nothing, “What’s the matter?”
“Have you stared enough at me?” Ling Mohan put down the documents in his hand before walking toward Qin Shu step by step.
“I have been tired of staring at you,” Qin Shu said disdainfully.
Ling Mohan snorted coldly, “What a sharp tongue.”
Qin Shu was curling her lips and revealed a hint of complacency, but her lips were suddenly sealed!
Beast!
He was taking advantage of her weak state!
Qin Shu was unable to move and could only accept Ling Mohan’s kiss helplessly.
Meanwhile, Ling Mohan was sure that Qin Shu couldn’t struggle, so his kiss was gentler than ever before. The tip of his tongue was even drawing the outline of her lips.
In an instant, Qin Shu was in a trance and closed her eyes uncontrollably.
Her breathing became chaotic, and her heart was beating fast.
Fortunately, Ling Mohan still remembered that Qin Shu was a patient. After sensing that she was breathing a little hurriedly, he took back his tongue and stared fixedly at her with the pair of his burning black eyes.
This was a signal of danger!
As expected, Ling Mohan suddenly said, “When you recover well, remember to go home and fulfill your duty as a wife!”
Qin Shu revealed a faint smile and kindly suggested, “Why don’t you work with your own hands so that you’ll get all your satisfaction?”
Ling Mohan’s face darkened.
Qin Shu reminded him again, “Don’t forget that you gave me two options. I’ve chosen the first option.”
“Shut up.” Ling Mohan’s face turned completely dark and he stood up suddenly and turned his back on Qin Shu, without saying any further.
The next day, Ling Mohan asked someone to buy a new mobile phone for Qin Shu and put her original SIM card into it. As soon as the phone was turned on, a series of notifications came in.
Qin Shu was leaning against the sickbed. She was about to ask Ling Mohan to show her the phone when suddenly the phone rang.
“Who’s calling?” Qin Shu asked.
“Tang Anru.” Ling Mohan said this name and his eyes were fixed on Qin Shu.
A wave of disgust surged in Qin Shu’s heart, but she did not show it on her face.
She had intended to tell Ling Mohan not to answer it. But when she remembered the car accident, she changed her mind and said, “Answer it.”
Ling Mohan answered the phone and put the speaker on. Soon a soft and urgent voice came out from the phone. “Qin Shu, is that you? How are you doing? Which hospital are you in?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Qin Shu said in a flat tone. “I’m fine. There’s no need for you to rush to see me. When I get out of the hospital, let’s find a time and have a good chat.”
There were some old matters that had to be resolved!
“But I’m so worried about you. If I don’t see you with my own eyes, I feel uneasy in my heart,” Tang Anru said in a worried tone. “And colleagues from the company, they also worry about you. We want to visit you at the hospital together.”
Qin Shu said perfunctorily, “There’s no need to trouble everyone. Thank for your kindness.”
“You, are you blaming me for not pulling you back at that time… I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I’ll make it up to you in the future.” Tang Anru said guiltily.
Qin Shu was annoyed to hear this, so she asked Ling Mohan to hang up the phone.
Tang Anru was stunned, her eyes reddened.
Other colleagues asked in a hurry, “How is Qin Shu? Is she in a bad condition?”
“She’s fine.” Tang Anru forced out a smile.
“Then why are you crying?” one of the colleagues asked in confusion.
Tang Anru shook her head and gently bit her pink lips, showing an adorable and pitiful look.
Another person cut in and said, “I assume it must be that Qin Shu ran into a car accident and she blamed Anru for not pulling her back.”
Tang Anru wiped her tears with her head down and didn’t disagree. Seeing this, several colleagues all secretly concluded that Qin Shu had gone too far. How could she blame others for not pulling her when she was hit by a car?
