"Secret meeting?" The man asked in a low and slightly magnetic voice.

?

Xie Liuzheng raised her head and looked at him with shame and anger on her face, "I was deceived by a traitor, I am definitely not a person who doesn't know how to behave."

?

"Stupid." The man glanced at the blood at the corner of Xie Liuzheng's mouth, then quickly retracted his gaze and gave a one-word evaluation.

?

Xie Liuzheng lowered her head and smiled bitterly. She knew that Qin Guangjin was despicable and would do anything to achieve his goals, but she still believed him and followed him into the private room. It was indeed stupid of her.

?

But Qin Guangjin used Xie Xiangyu's matter as bait to lure her into the trap, how could she remain indifferent? Xie Xiangyu was the only one in the world who truly loved her, so she naturally could not ignore Xie Xiangyu's safety. Even if she knew that there were many dangers, she would still take the risk.

?

The noise outside gradually approached the door. Xie Liuzheng raised his head again and looked at the man with pleading eyes.

?

The man did not turn around, but continued to enjoy his food and wine. However, he nodded slightly as if he could see through her thoughts.

?

"Thank you." Xie Liuzheng thanked him in a low voice and hid behind the screen in the corner.

?

Almost at the same time she stood firm, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

?

"Get out!"

?

It was the man's low scolding.

?

The voice was not loud, but it had a kind of pressure that made people's hearts tighten. The people outside the door unconsciously obeyed his orders, hurriedly stepped back and closed the door.

?

Qin Guangjin looked at the door he had closed, wondering if he had been possessed by a ghost as to why he had listened to the man's words so quickly.

?

After hesitating for a moment, he was still unwilling to give up the possibility of finding Xie Liuzheng, so he bravely pushed open the door of the private room again.

?

He smiled and bowed to the man, and asked softly, "Excuse me, sir, have you seen a woman?"

?

"There are so many women on the street. I'm not blind, so I can see them naturally." The man said in a light tone, revealing a bit of impatience at being disturbed.

?

"No..." Qin Guangjin tried to describe Xie Liuzheng's appearance, "She was a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a light blue jacket..."

?

I really can't remember the details of Xie Liuzheng's clothes, so I turned around and pointed at Xie Xiangyu, "She looks a bit like this woman."

?

The man looked up at Xie Xiangyu out of respect, and seeing her anxious and worried expression, he shook his head and said, "No."

?

Qin Guangjin was still not giving up, and stepped forward to ask: "So, did you hear any noise next door just now?"

?

"No." The man's impatience was evident. He dropped the wine glass on the table and raised his eyebrows to ask, "What noise should I have heard?"

?

How can one answer this question?

?

Qin Guangjin was speechless. He quickly glanced around the private room and wanted to check behind the screen, but he didn't dare to. He just walked out with an awkward smile.

?

The footsteps went to the other side, and Xie Liuzheng came out from behind the screen and knelt down to thank the man.

?

"Thanks to the young master for saving me, otherwise my life would be in jeopardy, and my mother would be brought shame upon herself."

?

The man said "hmm" lightly and ignored Xie Liuzheng.

?

Xie Liuzheng stood there, not daring to go out for the time being, but also not wanting to disturb the man with too much words, so she lowered her head and hooked her skirt in embarrassment.

?

"you……"

?

The man suddenly spoke, said the word "you" and paused.

?

Xie Liuzheng pricked up her ears and waited for a long time before she heard his cold voice saying, "Go wash your face, it's very dirty."

?

I just escaped death, but this man didn't sympathize with me and even despised me for being dirty and ugly?

?

Xie Liuzheng reminded herself in her heart that this man had saved her after all, and it would be unjust to disrespect him. She bit her lower lip and resisted the urge to scold him. She went to the corner and washed her face with the water in the basin and tidied her hair.

?

The noise outside the door faded away, and Xie Liuzheng thanked the man again, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. I will not disturb you any more."

?

"Wait a minute." The man called Xie Liuzheng and threw a cape draped over the chair next to him. "This is for you."

?

Xie Liuzheng felt warm in the heart and had some new understanding of the man.

?

It turns out that he is not that cold and unkind. When he found that my clothes were in disarray, he gave me a cloak. I must repay this kindness when I have the chance.

?

Xie Liuzheng thanked the man again and again silently in her heart, wrapped her cloak around herself, opened the door of the private room, looked around, and after making sure that Qin Guangjin and the others had left, she quickly slipped out.

?

When I walked out of the restaurant, I saw Fang Cheng and his men rushing over. I couldn't help but complain, "Why are you so slow?"

?

"It's my fault. Please punish me, Miss." Fang Cheng did not defend himself, but simply bowed his head and admitted his guilt.

?

Qiuyue also jumped off the carriage and admitted her fault with a guilty look on her face, "It's all my fault for not doing my job well. I made Miss wait for so long. I'm glad you're okay."

?

Xie Liuzheng calmed down, took Qiuyue's hand and got into the carriage.

?

Qiuyue just noticed the cloak on her and asked in confusion, "Where did you get this cloak, Miss?"

?

Xie Liuzheng ignored Qiuyue and told Fang Chengdao through the car window, "Send me home to see my mother first. Go and tell Li Erjie to double the amount of medicine for Qin Guangjin."

?

Fang Cheng knew that something serious must have happened, otherwise Xie Liuzheng would not have suddenly changed her mind. He did not dare to ask more questions and just responded in a low voice.

?

Xie Liuzheng leaned against the wall with a tired face. Qiuyue saw that she looked unhappy and asked carefully, "Is the young lady still angry with me?"

?

"I dare not be lazy, but when I went to look for Fang Cheng, he happened to come to the mansion to see Miss Zai, and the two of us got lost, which delayed us."

?

Xie Liuzheng waved her hand, signaling her not to say anything more. Qin Guangjin's malicious face flashed through her mind, and then Chen Baobao's obscene smile, and then the cold glance of the man in black robes appeared in her mind.

?

"Chen Baobao, Qin Guangjin, I won't let you go!"

?

Xie Liuzheng sat up straight, his eyes cold. "Where is Fang Cheng?"

?

"Miss, Fang Cheng went to pass on a message to Second Sister Li." Qiuyue was startled by Xie Liuzheng's expression and hurriedly said in a low voice.

?

"Well, when he comes back, tell him to come see me immediately."

?

Fang Cheng returned to Xie's house half an hour later. By then, Xie Liuzheng had already met Xie Xiangzhu and told Xie Xiangyu everything that Qin Guangjin and Chen Baobao had done.

?

Just because I was afraid that Xie Xiangyu would worry, I omitted the most unbearable part.

?

Even so, Xie Xiangyu was still furious and immediately wanted to go to Qin Guangjin in person to seek an explanation.

?

"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This dog is worse than an animal. I would rather die than let him hurt you again."

?

Xie Liuzheng held onto Xie Xiangyu's sleeve tightly to stop her from acting impulsively. She couldn't help but ask the question that had been weighing on her mind, "Mom, is Qin Guangjin really my father?"

?

This question has been weighing on Xie Liuzheng's mind since her previous life. She really couldn't imagine how Qin Guangjin, if he was her biological father, could have the heart to put her in a situation where she would rather die than live.

?

More importantly, she and Qin Shou must be half-siblings. Even if Qin Guangjin is not a human being, he would not do such a thing as pairing brother and sister as husband and wife.
