Tang Muzhi frowned, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, and quickly closed his eyes tightly, trying hard not to look or think.
Seeing this, Jing Xiao pursed her lips lightly and hugged her into his arms without further unbuttoning. His warm and generous hands caressed her back, and a low and hoarse voice sounded in her ears, "Good night." "
Although tonight was destined to be inevitable, he knew that haste makes waste, and the road had to be taken step by step. Since she had already gone back to the master bedroom to sleep, some things would naturally not be too far away.
Tang Mu Zhi didn't respond or move. She just let him hold her and fell asleep. However, it wasn't until the early morning that she found sleepiness and slowly fell asleep.
The next day, the warm winter sun shone into the house through the glass windows, illuminating the entire bed.
When Tang Muzhi woke up, rubbing her groggy eyes, Jing Xiao was no longer around, and there was no residual warmth on the bed.
She sat up, looked around, and made sure that there was no one else in the room except herself. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and got out of bed to wash up.
When she arrived at the living room, Aunt Man got up and went to heat breakfast for her. When she arrived at the door of the kitchen, she seemed to remember something again and said: "Zhizhi, there is your express delivery this morning. I will help you put it on the coffee table." .”
"Okay." Tang Muzhi glanced at the coffee table. It was a small express box, but she didn't remember what she had bought recently.
She walked over and looked at it. The recipient was indeed her name, but the sender was not. The address was still their school.
With full of doubts, she opened the express box. There was only a well-wrapped key inside, and nothing else.
The style of the key was very ordinary, nothing special. Tang Muzhi thought it was someone's prank and didn't care.
After all, many sellers on the Internet will always send things to buyers when they have nothing to do. Sometimes it's tissue paper, sometimes it's toothpicks, which is similar to her current situation.
She threw the key into the fruit plate on the coffee table. Just as she was about to take the express box aside, her phone rang.
Seeing that it showed that the call was from the police station, Tang Muzhi subconsciously thought that it was Tang Hong who wanted to see her. Her heart skipped a beat. After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally answered the call.
"Hey..." She said lightly, feeling a little uneasy for no reason.
"Is this Miss Tang Muzhi? Something happened to your father Tang Hong..." The man on the other end of the phone spoke calmly, but also a bit depressed.
Hearing this, Tang Muzhi was stunned for a moment, and his expression suddenly became tense.
Tang Hong was obviously being held in the detention center, awaiting sentencing. How could something happen?
The other party didn't hear her speak for a long time, so he said again: "Tang Hong's life is not in danger now, but he is not awake yet. As her immediate family member, some of the follow-up matters need to be handled by you."
Tang Muzhi's expression turned cold instantly, and he asked eagerly: "Isn't he in the detention center? How could something happen?"
The man was silent for a moment and replied truthfully: "We are still investigating this."
Regarding his answer, Tang Muzhi was annoyed but felt it was reasonable. She had too many doubts in her heart. After hanging up the phone, she immediately changed her clothes and went out without even eating breakfast.
When she first arrived downstairs, she met Jing Xiao.
Judging from his expression, he must have known about Tang Hong, so he came back specially.
Tang Mu Zhi was about to speak, but Jing Xiao was one step ahead of her, "Let's go."
Although he didn't want Tang Hong to meet Tang Mu Zhi before, but now that something happened to Tang Hong, Tang Mu Zhi, as a direct relative, had to go there.
After they got in the car, no one spoke, and the silence in the car was suffocating.
Tang Muzhi felt that her head was in a mess, her eyes were fixed on the windshield, and she was vaguely reflected in the windshield, her mind wandering far away.
At the same time, in a private room of a certain restaurant.
Qian Lin was eating breakfast leisurely, and on the floor at the door was a man who was beaten to death.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open. He raised his eyes and saw a man walking in. He stood beside him respectfully, nodded and said, "Master Lin, I have already gone to look for him where he lives. He is not there."
Hearing this, Qian Lin put down the chopsticks in his hand, glanced sideways at the people on the ground, and snorted: "You really don't shed tears until you see the coffin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling the people on the side to take action again.
After receiving the order, the man squatted down, grabbed the man on the ground by his clothes, and punched him mercilessly.
Qian Lin leaned back on his chair and watched the scene with great interest. When the man was about to faint, he spoke lazily, "If you don't tell me, today will really be your death anniversary."
The beaten man, whose nose was bruised and his face was swollen, glared at him fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't have the stuff here."
Hearing this, Qian Lin narrowed his eyes slightly and said sadly, "Really? That's not what Tang Hong said. He said he gave the thing to you."
His words made the groggy man tremble all over. He slowly spat out a few vague words, "It was really you who hurt him."
A playful smile appeared on Qian Lin's lips, and he immediately took a napkin and wiped his mouth, "Where is the thing Tang Hong gave you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the man on the side kicked the man hard. The man groaned in pain, blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and said hurriedly: "Tang Hong gave me a sum of money and said... If he doesn't come in three days, Find me and let me send the things... out."
"Three days are clearly not up yet, why did you send the things out? Who did you send them to?" Qian Lin asked coldly.
The man's face twitched in pain, and he said with difficulty: "Early this morning... I saw Tang Hong in the hospital. The nurse said... that he was dying, so... I sent the things to his daughter in advance... ...Tang Mu Zhi."
Qian Lin stood up with a pale face, walked up to the man, looked at him condescendingly, and shouted sternly: "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise, even if you survive today, you will still die."
The man was so frightened that he nodded quickly, "It's true, it's absolutely true. I went to the school to ask for her daughter's address in person. She lives at No. 1220, 12th Floor, Building 3, Yajiang Beiyuan."
Qian Lin snorted coldly, turned around and left the box. As he walked, he ordered the people on the side: "Let someone check whether it is true. In addition, arrange for someone to go to the hospital with me. If something happens to Tang Hong, his daughter will definitely go there. "
After receiving the order, the people around him hurriedly went to do their work.
Central hospital.
When Tang Muzhi saw Tang Hong, she was stunned.
His face was pale and bloodless, his hair was sparse, his beard was covered with stubble, and he looked very haggard.
It seemed that only when Tang Hong was lying on the hospital bed, unable to speak or move, did he manage to look like a loving father, which was completely opposite to the bossy and arrogant look before.
She even felt that the person in front of her was a bit strange.
Tang Muzhi once thought that she would hate Tang Hong forever and never forgive him, because all her nightmares over the years came from him.
When Tang Hong was arrested, she felt that she was really about to be freed. However, when the man was lying on the hospital bed, like a living dead, she could feel that her heart would hurt because of him.
In the parking lot at this moment, Qian Lin had just arrived.
"Master Lin, our people have been arranged." His subordinates reported in a low voice beside him.
"There are police here, be careful." He said coldly, then leaned back in his chair and waited for them to take action.
At the moment, Qian Lin just wants to get those things back as soon as possible, otherwise he will feel uneasy.
Outside the ward, Jing Xiao gently put his arm around Tang Mu Zhi's shoulders. He wanted to say a few words of comfort, but he didn't know what to say.
Tang Mu Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and she choked with sobs: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Jing Xiao knew that she was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, so he didn't say anything more, nodded and watched her leave.
After going to the bathroom, Tang Muzhi turned on the faucet, scooped up cold water, and slapped it on his face.
The water was so cold that it seemed to penetrate her soul, but she didn't feel anything.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and many things suddenly appeared in her mind.
Growing up, what she seemed to hope for the most was family harmony and a loving father and mother, but it happened that the simplest things were often the most difficult.
After she regained her composure, she left the bathroom.
When they arrived in the corridor, Jing Xiao was on the phone not far away, with a serious look on his face and a hint of sadness in his eyebrows.
After hesitating for a moment, Tang Muzhi finally took steps and walked towards him step by step.
After Jing Xiao hung up the phone, he turned around and saw her. He immediately calmed down the expression on his face, raised the corners of his lips, and said with doting concern: "Are you okay?"
She nodded and asked tactfully: "Do you have something to do with the company? In fact, the matter here is almost settled."
"I'm asking for leave." He said casually, then took her hand and walked to the elevator, "I'll take you to have something to eat."
Tang Muzhi lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and had an urge to take her hand out. After all, they had never been so close in public before, but she was reluctant to let him hold her hand.
At this moment, before the people sent by Qian Lin took action, Tang Muzhi had already got into the car with Jing Xiao and left the hospital.
"Master Lin, we have found out that Tang Mu Zhi's house was bought by Master Jing. He and Tang Mu Zhi are husband and wife. This is why Mrs. Jing intervened in Tang Hong's affairs before."
When he heard the news reported by the people on the side, Qian Lin's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes fell out of the window, his eyes filled with evil spirits.
"I used to think that Mrs. Jing intervened because she was worried that Tang Hong was the son of her good friend. Now it seems that there must be this relationship. Let's go. Things have changed. Don't act rashly yet." He rushed to his hands. After giving instructions, he closed the window and asked the driver to drive away.
Originally, he planned to have Tang Muzhi kidnapped and ask her to hand over the things Tang Hong gave her, but he didn't expect that she and Jing Xiao were actually husband and wife. If so, this matter would be a bit troublesome.
After all, right now, he didn't want to offend the Jing family. To be precise, he didn't want Jing Xiao to keep an eye on him.
