Chapter 388: Still Shocked
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Hearing Viney’s trembling voice, Lin Qiao couldn’t be angry anymore. She had known Viney for a long while after all. Viney could be willful sometimes, but she understood that the other did all she did just to help her.
With that thought, Lin Qiao cooled down slowly.
After thinking for a moment, she asked, ‘What’s my current body condition like then? Is it still not repaired yet?’
She wanted to touch her own body, but couldn’t move her limbs.
As she changed the topic, Viney immediately sighed with relief and said,‘Mama’s body has already been activated! However, only one-third of you is activated, and the rest is not. As long as your body finishes absorbing Viney’s energy, you can go out.’
‘Is my heart alive too ?’ said Lin Qiao with surprise.
She couldn’t have expected that Viney had actually reactivated her heart and brought her back to life. Her body, which belonged to Lu Tianyu, had been dead for months. But now, it actually came back to life! Viney had such a miraculous power!
Viney responded, ‘Yeah, yeah… It required your own energy, Daddy’s energy, and Viney’s energy to activate your body… Mama, you may still need to spend two more days to absorb the energy before you’re able to go out.’
Lin Qiao nodded and said, ‘Alright… two more days? How long have I been down here then? ‘
Viney spent a moment counting, then replied, ‘Em… em… I think it has been eight days. ‘
Lin Qiao sighed. It seemed that she needed to wait two more days.
She didn’t know how to face Wu Chengyue when she got out. The situation would be less weird if he didn’t know who she was; but the fact was, he knew it clearly.
It would definitely be really awkward when they saw each other again, even though neither of them did it voluntarily. So, it would be better for them to never see each other again. If Wu Chengyue found out that Lin Qiao’s body actually belonged to Lu Tianyu, things would become even more complicated.
Therefore, Lin Qiao decided to leave as soon as possible when she was freed from the lake. She planned to go to the new base and see how things were going there. If the situation was good, she would leave for the South, also to avoid Wu Chengyue.
‘Viney, in the future, you must talk to me first before doing something so important, do you understand? ‘ she said in her head, ‘If you’re really going to become my child, I might spank you when you misbehave!’
As Lin Qiao seemed to have forgiven her, Viney responded happily, ‘I’m sorry, I will never do it again…’
‘Great then !’ said Lin Qiao, ‘Also, does he know that I’m pregnant? You didn’t tell him, did you?’
Viney stayed silent, which gave Lin Qiao a very bad feeling.
‘You, you, you didn’t tell him, did you!’
If Viney were standing right in front of her, she should be able to see the little vine fidgeting with her fingers, showing a guilty face. In fact, Viney had no fingers, so she would probably fidget with her vines!
‘I… I told him… Viney told Daddy everything…’
‘Why on earth did you tell him !’ Lin Qiao nearly exploded, ‘He’ll definitely come after me! And you actually call him Daddy!’
G.o.d! If that man knew that she was pregnant with his baby, and that baby was Viney, who had entrapped her, would he ever let Lin Qiao and Viney get out of this?
No, he wouldn’t!
By now, it was no longer about who was right and who was wrong. The one who raped him last time was Lu Tianyu, not Lin Qiao. However, by taking over Lu Tianyu’s body, Lin Qiao had taken over her sin as well. This time, because of Viney, she ended up being raped by him. At the moment, Lin Qiao had a feeling that her future life would be disorganized by Wu Chengyue!
Lin Qiao felt extremely uncomfortable about what had happened, and was still deeply shocked…
‘But, he is already Viney’s Daddy… ‘ said Viney.
Lin Qiao just didn’t know what to say.
‘Can I kill this naughty child whose name is Viney? She sold her mother, didn’t she?’
Viney sensed her thoughts.
‘What should I do? I can’t go out now, or Mama will spank me! ‘ she thought.
Just like that, Lin Qiao and Viney spent two more days in the lake.
On the other side, Xiao Licheng, who had been digging under Wu Chengyue’s orders, finally found some leads about the female zombie.
“Did you say that it was a man on Chief Zou’s side who did this?” Wu Chengyue sat on the couch with Wu Yueling on his knees as he raised his head to look at Xiao Licheng with surprise.
The other stood in the empty area before him, nodding and responding, “Yes, it’s the man named Kong Qingming. He has been secretly hindering our investigation the whole time.”
Wu Chengyue rubbed his chin while asking, “Why is he trying to stop us from finding out that female zombie’s background? Is there an inside story about her?”
Xiao Licheng shook his head. After thinking for a moment, he made a guess, “Is he trying to protect Miss. Lu? Didn’t she save him and his friends in Hangzhou? Maybe he thinks that we’re going to do something bad to her!”
Wu Chengyue glanced at him and said, “What bad thing can we possibly do to her? We are partners now, aren’t we? Does he think that we’re immoral people? She helped me, so why would I try to hurt her?”
Xiao Licheng shrugged and said, “About that, I think we need to ask him directly.”
Wu Chengyue put Wu Yueling on the floor, then stood up and said, “Alright. Since he knows something, we will go straight to him and talk to him instead of spending so many efforts trying to find out. If he refuses to tell us, we’d have no choice but to ask Zou for help.”
Xiao Licheng didn’t expect him to plan to go straight to Kong Qingming. “Eh!” he looked at Wu Chengyue confusedly and exclaimed.
Wu Chengyue gave him a glance, then picked up Wu Yueling’s hand and said while heading outside, “What? Let’s go! Where is he now?”
“Yes, sir!” Xiao Licheng immediately followed behind him.
On the other side, Kong Qingming was lying on the couch in Lu Tianyi’s office, saying with a frown, “I think… I’m about to fail in concealing the information about your sister. Also, I think they might have noticed us. If Chief Wu finds us, how to do plan to deal with him?”
While speaking, he looked at Lu Tianyi, who was sitting behind the desk.
Lu Tianyi stopped writing and raised his head. He paused for a moment, then thought for a while and turned to Kong Qingming, “If he really came to us, I think we can first ask him about his purpose. Why on earth does he keep digging about my sister? What is he up to?”
Kong Qingming paused in shock. “Ask him directly? Do you really dare to do that?” he said while giving Lu Tianyi a glance with surprise.
At that moment, a guard knocked on the door before coming in, “Boss, Chief Wu is here.”
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming were both a little speechless.
Speak of the devil!
They glanced at each other, then hurriedly stood up. After that, they saw Wu Chengyue walk in, holding Wu Yueling’s hand. Following behind them were Xiao Licheng and two soldiers.
“Chief, what brought you here?” Lu Tianyi greeted him.
Wu Chengyue smiled and responded, “Why? Am I not allowed in here?”
“Of course, you are!” said Lu Tianyi awkwardly, “We’re just a little flattered by your sudden visit. Please have a seat!”
Both of them stepped away from the couch and offered it to Wu Chengyue, who sat down with Ling Ling, then pointed at the other couch in the office and waved at the two.
“You two sit down as well. Let’s talk!”
