I looked at the shards of glass on the ground, then at He Xi: "Do you really want me to tie you up?"
He Xi remained silent.
"It seems there's really no need to pity you." I said with a stern face, "I hate patients like you, uncooperative and self-righteous."
"Let me out!" He Xi's eyes were ferocious. "Otherwise, I'll keep causing trouble!"
"Are you threatening me?" I glanced at her casually.
She paused.
"I've seen plenty of blustering fools like you. When others are kind to you, you don't appreciate it and instead retaliate. But when others treat you badly, you don't dare say anything." I looked at her disdainfully.
She was both nervous and excited, her short hair seemingly about to explode: "You're the one who's a good-for-nothing!"
The words have not yet fallen.
Liang Hui led his men in.
"Professor Shen?" He walked over and seemed to understand something when he saw the shards of glass on the ground: "Clean it up."
"Wait a minute." I said in a calm tone, "Don't pack yet, so as not to cause any trouble. We'll go back to Xinjing City tonight. You take her back first, and remember to do it secretly, don't let anyone know."
"Understood!" Liang Hui waved his hand.
The men walked towards He Xi.
"What are you trying to do?" He Xi's eyes widened, and his voice rose.
Those people didn't care about any of that; they just walked past.
One of them knocked He Xi unconscious, and the rest of them carried He Xi away.
They carried He Xi out.
"Professor Shen, I'm leaving now." Liang Hui followed him downstairs.
“This He Xi is dishonest.” I turned to look at Huo Yubai: “Her eagerness to escape shows that she doesn’t want to see He Ya. If she hates He Ya so much, why is she afraid to meet her?”
"I don't know," Huo Yubai said innocently.
I said angrily, "You were talking so eloquently outside just now, but now you don't know anything. I'm here analyzing things by myself, and you think I'm listening to a story?"
He smiled slightly, his expression refined and gentle, a hint of wantonness in his deep eyes: "Whatever Yan Yan says goes."
"This concerns your mother." I was speechless.
“But my mom doesn’t like me. No matter how much I care about her, she can’t surpass you.” He bent down and hugged me: “Yan Yan, I’m a little tired.”
He didn't lie.
His physical discomfort made him easily tired.
"Go back to your room if you're tired." I frowned. "I'll handle the rest."
"No, I want to stay with you." His voice was languid, with a slightly nasal tone.
In fact, the winter in the north is not suitable for Huo Yubai's body.
He was always on the go.
"I don't need you to be with me." I sighed. "I'm not a child anymore. I don't need someone to be with me for everything."
“But I’m just a child.” The deep voice trembled slightly. “I need to stay with you.”
"Don't you have anything to do?" I said helplessly. "You have company matters and family matters. You don't need to revolve around me just to win me back."
"What I'm doing now is my own business, which is also the most important thing. What you're talking about will always come after you." He gently rubbed his face against my neck.
A delicate, moist temperature, a smooth, warm touch.
My face flushed slightly: "Stop rubbing, it's so itchy."
I'm not used to it at all.
He stopped, straightened up, and kissed me on the lips when I wasn't looking.
"Huo Yubai!" I kicked him!
hateful!
You're taking advantage of me!
You can't be soft-hearted towards him!
“Professor Shen.” A bodyguard stood outside the door.
"What is it?" I pushed Huo Yubai away.
"The police are here. They say they need to speak with you," the bodyguard replied.
"Okay, tell them to wait a moment, I'll be down in a bit," I said.
The bodyguard turned and left.
I looked up: "They actually called the police."
“However, they may not have evidence; there are no security cameras in the village,” Huo Yubai said with certainty.
“I know, I’m not worried, it’s just that they suspected me immediately, which means my identity can’t be hidden anymore.” I looked at him: “Don’t go down, I can handle it by myself.”
“But…” he hesitated.
"You were just saying you'd listen to me, and now you're going back on your word?" I said with a serious expression.
He looked at my face and couldn't help but smile: "Yan Yan, you look so cute when you're angry."
My cheeks flushed red: "Stop with your sweet talk, I really don't know where you learned it from!"
Faced with my scolding, he raised his thin lips almost imperceptibly: "Because I met Yan Yan, I learned it without a teacher."
"It does take some talent to be thick-skinned." I pushed him away: "Don't go downstairs!"
“If they bully you, I’ll rush downstairs immediately.” He followed me like a dutiful wife, all the way to the turn of the stairs.
I went downstairs.
Two police officers, a man and a woman, were sitting on the sofa in the living room, along with a middle-aged man.
This middle-aged man is the one Huo Yubai and I met in the village.
"She's the policewoman! She's the one who detained my sister. She's acting suspiciously. They must have taken my sister away!" the middle-aged man accused immediately.
"Mr. He Tian, please calm down. There is no evidence at the moment. We are only here to investigate. Please cooperate." The police interrupted him.
I smirked: "Your name is He Tian? I'm quite curious. Your sister is locked in a dark, dilapidated house. You didn't take her to see a doctor, nor did you take proper care of her. Do you know that there is a crime of child abuse?"
"She's insane!" He Tian exclaimed angrily. "When she goes crazy, she's incredibly strong. She often breaks doors and windows and then escapes. She's injured people in the village before, so we don't dare let her out on ordinary days!"
"Officer, did you hear that? He said his sister would run away on her own. Could it be that she ran away by herself, and they didn't find her this time, but they're blaming me and trying to extort money from me?" I smiled calmly.
He Tian retorted angrily, "You're talking nonsense! I just want to take my sister back!"
"Where's the evidence?" I looked at him seriously. "Just because you've seen me, you're saying I took it? I could say you're slandering me!"
He Tian tensed up; he had no evidence.
"Ms. Shen, please calm down. We don't suspect you; we're just here to investigate. We just want to ask you a few questions," the police officer said.
I looked at him and said, "Ask away, I'll cooperate. But if it turns out it wasn't me, I'll ask you two to testify for me. I'm going to sue him for defamation!"
He Tian glared at me: "As soon as you arrived, my sister disappeared!"
“Mr. He, we are here to provide free medical services. Besides treating the people in your village, we have a lot of other work to do. We simply don’t have the time. And you said I took my sister away, so where do you think I hid her?” I questioned.
"She's in this villa!" He Tian stood up. "I'm going to find her today!"
"Mr. He, you can't just rummage through other people's homes," the police officer stopped him.
"Why not?" He Tian frowned. "Aren't you all here too?"
