Chapter 862: Qin Huai’s Hospitalization (2)
Zhao Youlin took note of Qin Sheng’s embarra.s.sment and smiled. She took the initiative to talk to him. “You’re his younger brother, right? h.e.l.lo, I’m Zhao Youlin. This is my husband, Mu Tingfeng.”
“h.e.l.lo, I’m Qin Sheng. Ms. Zhao, just call me Ah Sheng,” Qin Sheng said as he carefully sized up Zhao Youlin. He couldn’t help but grumble in his heart.
When did his brother meet such a beautiful woman? How come he didn’t know about it at all? Moreover, such a beautiful woman was already married. What a pity!
Qin Huai heard Zhao Youlin openly introduce Mu Tingfeng as her husband. For some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of disappointment. Fortunately, this disappointment didn’t last long before he suppressed it.
“Ah Sheng, I’m a little hungry. Go out and buy me something to eat.”
Qin Sheng’s gaze swept over the few of them. He quickly understood that his big brother must have something important to discuss with the two people in front of him alone. It was not suitable for him to listen. He tactfully stood up and said, “Then please excuse me. I’ll go buy something for him to eat first.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youlin watched Qin Sheng leave and the door of the ward was completely closed before they turned their eyes back to Qin Huai.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Just a fracture. Moving around might be difficult, but it’s nothing more.” Qin Huai said it very casually, but Zhao Youlin’s heart was a little heavy. She had a feeling that Qin Huai’s accident this time was related to the task she had set him upon. Otherwise, how could such a coincidence occur?
That was what Zhao Youlin thought in her heart, and she voiced it out. “Mister Qin, is this matter related your investigation?”
Qin Huai was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he pulled out a doc.u.ment from the cabinet beside the bed. “You came at the right time. In fact, I was about to look for you to show you this.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned and took the doc.u.ment from Qin Huai’s hands.
After skimming through it, Zhao Youlin’s expression turned ugly. While it was just a guess at the beginning, Zhao Youlin was now sure of it.
Zhao Youlin subconsciously clenched the doc.u.ments in her hands and said in a deep voice, “Mister Qin, I’m sorry.”
Qin Huai smiled indifferently. “Ms. Zhao, it’s alright. This was just a light tap. Ms. Zhao, you don’t have to take it to heart. In fact, I’m quite happy to be able to help you out. However, they did get my leg. I won’t be able to move around for a bit. I’m sorry.”
“Don’t say that. You have already helped me enough. I’m very grateful.” Zhao Youlin closed her eyes and looked at Qin Huai with a complicated look.
She knew that she owed the person in front of her a favor, but she would never be able to repay this favor.
Zhao Youlin spoke a few more words with Qin Huai and told him to rest well. Then, she left the hospital with Mu Tingfeng with the doc.u.ment.
It was not until she got into the car that Zhao Youlin finally calmed down and studied the doc.u.ment that Qin Huai gave her.
The doc.u.ment clearly listed the things that Zhao Youlin asked Qin Huai to look into, the past of Lu Shu and Lu Xiangtian.
It turned out that Lu Shu had been brought back by Lu Xiangtian two years before her accident. Lu Shu’s name seemed to have been changed after she was brought back. As for her previous name, Qin Huai did not seem to be able to find it.
As for Lu Xiangtian’s so-called old friend, it was beyond even Qin Huai’s resources. After all, Lu Xiangtian wasn’t young anymore, so it would be difficult to find out what had happened so long ago. In addition, it would be difficult to investigate someone like Lu Xiangtian. The risks and difficulties were higher than others, to begin with.
Zhao Youlin held the doc.u.ments in her hands in silence, but her brain was working quickly.
It was not difficult to see that the doc.u.ments all stopped short of some big revelations. This made Zhao Youlin wonder if these people had just only discovered Qin Huai’s investigation and intended to stop him, or if they had known about it and had let Qin Huai work down the breadcrumbs just to draw the snake out of its hole?
Another thing was that Lu Shu had actually been identified back before her accident. So Lu Shu was truly the eldest lady of the Lu family?
If she remembered correctly, Lu Shu seemed to have joined the police station five years ago, and it was said that she was a high-ranking official who had been transferred from another place. In other words, she did not know that she was Lu Xiangtian’s daughter at that time. If that was the case, why was she still in the police station when Lu Xiangtian took her back? She did not believe that Lu Shu did not know what Lu Xiangtian did in the shadows, right?
Could it be that Lu Shu really liked her job at the police station? Eh, well, she really did not see that.
Zhao Youlin was so focused on figuring out the complicated connections between the Lu family that she did not realize that Mu Tingfeng, who was sitting next to her, had not spoken a word since he got into the car. Moreover, his expression was getting uglier and uglier.
Finally, Mu Tingfeng could not take it anymore. He exploded in silence.
Zhao Youlin was in a daze when the doc.u.ment in her hand was suddenly taken away. She was stunned for a moment before she raised her head and asked, “Mu Tingfeng, what are you doing… hmm…”
Zhao Youlin didn’t have time to complain before she was kissed by Mu Tingfeng.
The unexpected kiss stunned Zhao Youlin. After she came back to her senses, she didn’t continue to resist. Instead, she responded in kind.
The two of them just kept going back and forth, and they worked together very well.
After the kiss, both of their faces were somewhat satisfied, but Mu Tingfeng didn’t stop there. He lowered his head and pressed it against Zhao Youlin’s forehead, his deep eyes staring at Zhao Youlin’s eyes.
At this moment, Zhao Youlin finally noticed Mu Tingfeng’s strange behavior. She asked in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “What’s wrong?”
“You’d rather hire an outsider to help you than ask me for help.”
Zhao Youlin was stunned again when she heard that. When she realized that this man was being jealous again, she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
She couldn’t help but ridicule him in her heart. President Mu, can’t you be a little more creative? Every time you’re jealous, you always catch me with a kiss or something. Don’t be so shameless.
“He specializes in intelligence, but you’re not. It’s different.” Of course, it was undeniable that Zhao Youlin had her own selfish motives. It was precisely because of this that Zhao Youlin felt even more guilty toward Qin Huai. She owed a favor to someone, after all.
