At least in the bathroom, there isn't so much bold, unsettling red anymore. The walls are covered with small square tiles of indigo, and the patterns on them are like sparkling ripples on the sea surface. Even so, it was too difficult for the two of them to regain their composure just by relying on the cold tones of the environment. Especially Wu Hui.
"I don't know," Mo Weiming could only say, "I can't see. Sorry."
Of course he wanted to ask: What did you see? But obviously it shouldn't be now. Regardless of whether Wu Hui's condition was suitable for explanation, Mo Weiming was not sure that he would remain calm after she gave her answer. Although, it's not very calm.
If Wuhui was frozen stiff before, now she is beginning to melt, even her bones. It was difficult for her to stand up straight. Mo Weiming grabbed her arms and tried to help her up, which was also a difficult task. Maybe he didn't have the strength himself. Wu Hui just shook her head, trying to push him away and continue to reach for the faucet. Mo Weiming immediately turned off the faucet and said:
"The tap water is dirty."
"It's so disgusting, so disgusting - what is that? What on earth is..."
Mo Weiming was surrounded by a strong sense of powerlessness. He squeezed her arm unconsciously and then loosened it. Wu Hui could no longer detect any pain or discomfort. He had to use common sense to make judgments for himself - including his own strength. He was afraid that if he continued to hold on so tightly, she would get hurt, and he was also afraid that if he let go, she would collapse.
"I'm sorry." He whispered repeatedly, "I didn't know this would happen, I'm sorry."
The bathroom is quite quiet, not many people come and go. The one or two people who occasionally came in and out didn't even glance at them with doubts. Compared to the ups and downs of Feiye Bay, the two young men in the toilet who seemed to have drunk too much could not even be called a small scene. I don't know how long it took, but the "drinking" finally allowed them to bear it for the time being.
"Leave quietly, now. Don't let them find out." Mo Weiming pulled her, "But you must remember... before you leave here, no matter what you see, you must not tell it. Don't Let anyone know you can 'see'."
The arc of Wu Hui's nod was as small as a shiver, and Mo Weiming knew she heard it. She was usually calm before anything, and even when she learned about the illegal surgery, she accepted the reality at an alarming speed. Maybe she couldn't think of any serious consequences, or her mental quality was just that high. Now that she was so stimulated, Mo Weiming didn't dare to think about it.
They had stayed in the bathroom long enough. But the moment he went out, he bumped into the man head-on.
Maybe he has been waiting here.
The moment she saw him, Wu Hui trembled again, but she just looked at the ground and said nothing. The man handed the box to Mo Weiming and smiled politely.
"Don't forget to take your things with you. Otherwise, wouldn't this trip be in vain?"
"……Thanks."
He tried to avoid long sentences, lest he reveal his inability to organize words. But apparently the man ignored his discomfort and dutifully conveyed what Master Jiu said.
"I'm really sorry that something like this happened. Why don't you two follow me to the dining room on the second floor to have something to eat? It will all be blamed on our boss, as an apology. Our chef has studied abroad, and there are many who are proficient in this skill. The chef who helps with the dishes. If it doesn’t suit your taste, please name other cuisines. Where are you two from?”
"No need." Mo Weiming refused bluntly.
"Are you really not considering it? That's a pity. A little later, a dancer from Feiyunxuan will perform on stage, which not everyone can invite. If they miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they will not even be able to do it next time. I don’t know when arrangements will be made for the theater.”
"Thank you Master Jiu for your kindness. But we have work tomorrow, so we'd better leave first."
It’s hard to refuse such hospitality. Although Mo Weiming was afraid, he was determined. He knew that he could no longer be led by the nose, otherwise there would be some unexpected troubles. What is the difference between putting the rhythm in the hands of the people in Yinshe and handing over the fate?
"Then, let our people give you two a ride. This is what Lord Jiu has ordered. You can't neglect your two friends. My boss has many things to do, and I regret that I can't continue to accompany you. Hiss, I said so much, but I forgot It's so rude to introduce myself. This is my business card..."
Can't shirk it. They knew that Master Jiu was determined to get their address.
Mo Weiming took the two business cards and glanced at them. Qu Luosheng. A name I've never heard of.
"I'm sorry to give you such an unpleasant experience. Please come here often. With this pass, no one from Yinshe will give you a hard time. Well, as for other gangs... they probably won't either! It's hard to say, but it's okay Give it a try." Qu Luosheng pressed one hand on the lotus leaf lapel on his chest with an extremely sincere expression. "Some minor characters will not make things difficult for them. But you must also know that we have many enemies in this industry, so... use it with caution."
The two of them were "escorted" all the way to the door, and the car was ready. I don't know if they were sincerely invited to dinner. The sky was darkening, and the western setting sun, filtered by tall buildings, sprinkled on the sea like mottled blood.
Even after walking out of the ballroom, Mo Weiming could still smell the uncomfortable scent of perfume on Qu Luosheng. You won't be able to soak in this smell unless you stay in a "high-end club" for several years. He opened the back seat door and made a sign of invitation.
"Lady first."
The moment Wu Hui got into the car, she and Qu Luosheng brushed against each other. Mo Weiming noticed that Qu Luosheng looked unnatural for a moment. But his brows quickly relaxed again, and everything was as fast as nothing happened. When Mo Weiming got in the car again, he was very close to him, but he didn't show any abnormalities again.
Just think it was a mistake.
Fortunately, there was only one driver in the car, the same driver who had sent them here before. He wasn't talkative, he just followed orders. The car was eerily quiet along the way, and the noisy night had nothing to do with them. Driving through brightly lit avenues, driving through dirty and dilapidated lanes; driving through desolate and flat open spaces, and driving through streets lined with old houses. These similar scenery can no longer enter the eyes of Mo Weiming, who is full of worries. Wu Hui lowered his head deeply and said nothing during the whole process.
It was completely dark when we got off the car, and the solitary stars were twinkling. It wasn't until the two of them entered the community that they heard the sound of vehicles driving away. On the same night, the world here was much quieter than the other side. No one would have thought that they would travel through two completely different worlds in one day.
Wu Hui went upstairs in a daze, and Wu Hui didn't know how she opened her legs. Considering that she might not have the strength to climb another flight of stairs, Mo Weiming did not intend to call her up. He did wonder a little bit, wondering if the room where he had died would cause another blow to Wu Hui's heart.
Wu Hui's body stopped shaking, her hands were still shaking, and she couldn't insert the key into the keyhole. Mo Weiming took the key, opened the door for her, and followed her in. Wu Hui sat on the chair first, and Mo Weiming placed the box on the coffee table. He saw the kettle placed in the corner and felt thirsty, but when he picked it up, he found it was empty. He had no choice but to give up and sit on the chair next to Wu Hui.
Wu Hui was in shock. No need to wait for her to ask, Mo Weiming said consciously:
"She is an old acquaintance of my father... or should be said to be his apprentice. However, the two of us don't have much contact, and we haven't even met a few times. Her appearance... is almost the same as before. But I know , she is six or seven years older than me. I just came to Yaozhou, and when I heard her name for the first time, she was not where she is today. I only know that she chose to embark on a road of no return. Today is the day when I and I We met her for the first time in Yaozhou."
Wu Hui's lips were white, almost blending with the skin on her face.
"Let's... move away..."
"... Where can she go? Master Jiu has a lot of hands and eyes in Yaozhou. Even if she leaves this city - don't worry, nothing will happen in the short term. She has no reason to get entangled with a group of us who have nothing to do with the underworld. Approximately , she just wanted to say hello to me. When I met the box there, it was still cold. They were well preserved and the medicine should still be usable. I even suspected that she was behind the robbery of the box. I was targeted early on. To drag you into this, I was really..."
"So that person died in vain?"
"I can't say. There are many twists and turns in their underworld affairs. Maybe he committed something and acted in this scene in the name of making up for his mistakes... to exert the final value."
"So cruel."
"I didn't know her very well before. She was warm and kind to people a long time ago, and it didn't scare people so much. I have never been good at dealing with such people, and I didn't like to have contact with her in the past. She is the only one in the family. The daughter, the ninth oldest, is more than twenty years older than her first brother. Of course, they may not have the same mother. Her father is very powerful and has married many aunts. It doesn’t matter whose daughter she is anymore, because Together with those brothers, they are all dead. There are different opinions about their deaths, and they are inseparable from her after all. In addition, her image is cruel and sinister, so she is also known as Yin Jiuye. And..."
Mo Weiming paused.
"You can't go and see her. Her little movements, as well as her voice, can confuse people's hearts and encourage them to do things they would never do if they were sober. She is also very good at reading people's hearts, and she plays tricks on her. If you want to pursue it, it will never end well. I don’t know if her ability is related to the magic weapon she holds."
"The magical weapon is that..."
"She is the owner of the Chizhen Pearl. She is Tianxuan Qing Yin Hong."
"Qing Tianxuan?"
"The Yinshe family has a great cause, and it is said that it is also related to the Chizhen Pearl. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Yinshe to inherit it. Her eight brothers died mysteriously one after another, and the magic weapon fell into her hands. You can also see it. It’s her arbitrariness, and...that man. I’ve never seen him before, and he should have a bright red face."
When it comes to that man, Wu Hui's expression is obviously wrong. He knew there was something wrong with this man.
Wu Hui's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out for a long time.
"...Don't force it. Let's rest first. We have work tomorrow. It's a long time and there are many opportunities to chat."
Wu Hui didn't stop him until he reached the door. The moment he opened the door, Mo Weiming turned around and said:
"If you're still scared, I wouldn't mind staying with you."
"……never."
After receiving Wu Hui's eyes, Mo Weiming closed the door with satisfaction. Fortunately, I still have some energy. Mo Weiming thought he could make a joke and get some relief. But when he was pouring hot water, his hand suddenly became unstable, and the water spilled all over the floor and broke the cup. Fortunately, it has warmed up. Although there was no burn, he was worried that his hands would not be able to perform surgery tomorrow and he would have to ask for leave.
Yin Hong could give out the code names of those drugs... He couldn't guess her relationship with the supplier. Is it her threat? Or was he betrayed by his old friend? They are both acquaintances of their father, so I don't know what kind of contact they will have in private. Wu Hui said which chamber of commerce was developing the land in Qianhua Lane. He forgot to ask, otherwise he could tell whether the two were cooperating. Forget it, there are still many opportunities to chat.
Wu Hui took out the beads from her bag and put out the box containing the amethyst. She still didn't tell her about going to Eclipse in the morning. Now that it's at this point, maybe it would be a good thing to clarify things as soon as possible.
That’s all. There are plenty of opportunities to chat.
