Chapter 52 Doubt

The food on the table was very rich, but no one moved their chopsticks, and the servants did not dare to show their air, for fear of being angered.

Mr. Xi's gray beard twitched and asked, "Do you have anything to say to me?"

Xi Mu wiped off the cold sweat on the tip of his nose, bowed his head in silence, trying to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible.

"It's my fault that I didn't take good care of him." No matter what situation Xi Qin was in, she always maintained a calm and elegant manner, but at this moment her eyes were red, and tears rolled stubbornly in her eyes.

"I didn't expect to meet again to attend my grandson's funeral." Old Man Xi's cloudy eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and his expression was mournful.

"Dad." Xi Mu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Mr. Xi saw through his thoughts, and sighed: "Call Xi Yao back, someone must be in charge of the company."

Xi Mu almost couldn't control his facial expression, and couldn't even take care of his meal, so he said goodbye in a hurry and found a reason to go home.

"I'm full." Xi Qin put down his chopsticks and got up to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Mr. Xi.

"I thought you had no feelings for these children, but I didn't expect..." Mr. Xi paused for a few seconds, and suggested to her, "Do you want to go abroad to relax?"

Xi Qin lowered his eyes: "Dad, Qingxi is the flesh that fell from my body after all."

……

As soon as Xi Mu got home, he received a call from a stranger. He put away his mobile phone, walked into the bedroom, locked the door and closed the curtains, and then pressed the phone to answer the call.

"When will the money be called to me?"

"Tell me first how you solved it."

"While the car was parked in the repair shop, I went home to make a time-delay device, pushed the anesthetic you gave me into the balloon, tied the blowing port tightly with a string, then soaked it into a spherical mold to freeze and seal it, and then loosened it after the ice ball was formed. rope."

"The car came back and parked in my garage, damaged the brake pads, and hid the balloon under the seat. The weather was cold, Xiao Xi was always weak, and the heater would be turned on when the temperature was below 10°C, and it was only 7°C that day. After an hour or so, the anesthetic gas will disperse in the confined space."

"Of course the brake pads were worn out and the engine couldn't be started, so I tricked him to come to my house and drive on the road. In the end, the truck driver you arranged ran into the unconscious Mr. Xi head-on."

Qu Zhiyi's tone didn't fluctuate, and he spoke smoothly as if reporting work, "Has the audio been recorded? General Manager Xi Mu."

She knew in her heart that Xi Mu's actions were to leave evidence, so during this narration, Qu Zhiyi never put him aside.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for nearly a minute before he replied unhurriedly: "Yes, you have done a lot of homework. I will send someone to call you the money right away."

After receiving the exact news of the remittance, Qu Zhiyi hung up the phone, as if all her strength had been taken away suddenly, she slumped against the wall and sat on the ground, crying bitterly.

This is the fastest way to get money that Xi Mu told her.

The screen of the phone flickered a few times, and Qu Zhiyi looked down, it was a reminder message for remittance to the account.She wiped away her tears, sniffled, and called Shao Cheng.

"The money has been raised, when will your mother have the operation?"

"Next Wednesday." Shao Cheng was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering, "Are you sure you want to use the money to treat my mother?"

Qu Zhiyi said: "If you lose money, you can earn it again. You only have one life. Besides, she is your mother. I can't let her go."

She handed the card to Shao Cheng with an unusually calm expression: "There are a total of 200 million in the card."

The entanglement in Shao Cheng's eyes was fleeting, he opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

The next day, Qu Zhiyi suddenly discovered that she couldn't contact Shao Cheng.

Shao Cheng's mobile phone number was cancelled, and the store was listed, and his house was already empty when he was found.

It wasn't until this moment that Qu Zhiyi belatedly realized that she knew very little about her boyfriend.

In daily communication, Shao Cheng often deliberately blurs the information related to him.He easily infiltrated Qu Zhiyi's circle of friends and knew all of her friends, but he never brought her into his own circle.Qu Zhiyi's understanding of Shao Cheng came from his dictation.

Why does he always refuse Qu Zhiyi's visits over and over again? I'm afraid even his dying mother is a lie fabricated by him.

It's not that Qu Zhiyi is unaware, but her upbringing prevents her from guessing others maliciously, let alone this person is her first love.

She indulged in the beautiful lies Shao Cheng made up, deceiving herself that she was living a happy life, and then the false bubbles exploded into steam under the sunlight.

"Hahaha..." His hands clenched into fists, nails embedded in his palms.She actually killed her boss who treated her kindly for such a hypocritical man.

Hatred for Shao Cheng, loathing for herself, and guilt for Xi Qingxi, all kinds of emotions entangled in her heart, forming a cocoon called despair.

After a while, Qu Zhiyi stood up slumped, opened the door and stumbled outside.

After nine o'clock in the evening is the time when the nightlife begins, and the bustling lights illuminate the night like day.Qu Zhiyi shuttled through the crowd like a headless fly, without purpose or direction.

Qu Zhiyi bumped into several people along the way, ignored the other party's swearing, and continued walking.After walking for some time, she looked up, and the splendid Yanjiang Bridge came into view.

The surface of the water is not calm, the evening wind sets off slightly undulating ripples, and the shimmering light surges with the waves, deep and mysterious.

Qu Zhiyi climbed over the railing and jumped almost without hesitation.The cold lake water poured into her mouth and nose, sealing all her senses, and she fell asleep with the night.

Fortunately, there were a lot of vehicles on the bridge, and there were many people fishing by the river. Because of the timely rescue, Qu Zhiyi's life was not in danger.

She slept in a semi-comatose state all night in the hospital and woke up the next morning.After recovering some strength, he got out of bed slowly, and suddenly someone patted his shoulder after taking two steps.She turned her head and saw that it was a female doctor who looked familiar.

"Don't remember me? It was the sugar I bought for you when you had low blood sugar."

Qu Zhiyi suddenly realized, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "So it's Dr. Zhou."

"are you better?"

"Much better, thank you for your concern."

Zhou Feifei contemplated for a while, and tentatively said: "Although it's a bit abrupt...we are destined, why don't you get to know each other? My name is Zhou Feifei."

"Okay, my name is Qu Zhiyi, nice to meet you."

Looking at the back of the girl going away, Zhou Feifei breathed a sigh of relief.She took out her phone from her pocket and unlocked the screen, which showed a short video of the river jumping incident last night.

After hesitating again and again, she opened the address book and made a call.

"get off work?"

"Yeah, I just have a rest today. Let's go shopping in the afternoon. The season is about to change. I want to buy some new clothes."

"Zhizhi, I have something to tell you."

……

There is melodious music playing in the coffee shop, and green plants are planted next to the booths. The atmosphere is leisurely and peaceful, which is very suitable for chatting.

"Did Mr. Xi ask you before how to judge whether you have been pua? You also discussed it with me."

Lin Zhizhi's face changed slightly: "He has already..."

"I know, I just want to ask, what was the girl called Qu by PUA at that time, and I repeated the word with you."

"Qu Zhiyi." Lin Zhizhi seemed unwilling to discuss this topic, "I'm not familiar with her, nor have I met her before."

Zhou Feifei said seriously: "The girl in the news who tried to jump into the river is her."

Lin Zhizhi was taken aback, she vaguely recalled the mission that Xi Qingxi had given her and Qiu Ci.

"If something happens to me, my secretary is the most suspect."
