When Qin Sheng walked into the Ha family's villa, everyone in the Ha family was shocked. No one was able to find her, but here she was!
"Qin Sheng! Where have you been? We've been looking for you! Did your cousin kidnap you?" Ha Siqi grabbed Qin Sheng's hand and asked.
Qin Sheng's palms felt soft, and when he looked down, he saw her well-bandaged hands.
As expected, Gong Mochen was right. Qin Sheng had been injured when she slid down the rope.
"How are your hands? Where did you bandage your wounds? You've changed your clothes too," he continued to ask.
Qin Sheng smiled. "Qin Yunbo took me away. He locked me in the warehouse. I ran out of the window and passed through a forest. I walked along the road. When I saw someone, I waved them down. They bandaged my wounds, gave me clothes, and even sent me back."
She briefly explained the situation. Of course, it was not true.
Someone by the road? Ha Siqi was stunned. Why didn't they find any trace of that person?
"It's good that you're back! Are you hungry? Mom, is dinner done?" he asked.
"It was done ages ago. I was just waiting for Qin Sheng to come back!" Ha Siqi's mother, You Jia, said. She grabbed Qin Sheng's hand and took her to the dining room for dinner.
Qin Sheng followed You Jia to the dining room. She looked back at Ha Siqi and saw the man on the phone with his back to her.
She knew who he was calling. It was someone he would definitely notify if she came back safely.
Ha Siqi dialed the number. "Uncle, Qin Sheng is back. She changed her clothes and her hands are bandaged. She said that someone from the roadside helped her and then sent her back."
Gong Mochen's brows sank. "Keep an eye on her. She will tell you to attend my engagement ceremony tomorrow. Bring her here and I'll send you guys away."
"Okay, I'll bring her there tomorrow, but I'm afraid she won't be able to take it," Ha Siqi said.
"No, she's very strong."
Gong Mochen hung up the call. Tomorrow... Tomorrow, everything was going to end!
This would all be over... Hopefully...
Ye Wei came in with a bowl of medicine. "President, your medicine is ready. This medicine is a strong combination of many blood-generating medicines. It can accelerate blood regeneration in the short term, but it can't be taken in the long term."
Her tone was filled with worry. She had already pushed the man's life to the limit, but if this dragged on, his body would eventually fail.
Gong Mochen took the medicine and drank it. "I may not need it for long. This might be the last time..."
Ye Wei was secretly delighted. "Will you be able to get the antidote tomorrow?"
Gong Mochen's deep eyes glanced down. However, he didn't answer Ye Wei's question.
"Thank you for taking care of me. After tomorrow, Nie Feng will take you away."
"No! I don't want to go. I want to stay by your side!" Ye Wei knelt at the man's feet and leaned her head on his leg. Even if he didn't love her, it didn't matter. She only wanted to stay by his side!
"You don't want to leave? Okay then. If I don't get the antidote and get the cultivation medium, you have to help me prepare the antidote!" Gong Mochen said.
No one knew the result of the next day, even someone as secretive as him.
Ye Wei took a deep breath. Fortunately, he didn't want to chase her away.
"Okay, I'll wait. With the cultivation medium, I'll definitely be able to prepare the antidote for you!"
***
In the courtyard of the hotel, Qin Zixian personally arranged the engagement venue.
The banquet hall was built on a lawn. The entire hall was made of glass, filled with fresh flowers and chairs for the guests the next day.
She looked at the flowers that filled the room. The clusters of red roses were as bright as human blood.
Seriously, why was she thinking of blood at a time like this? Her thoughts should be filled with romance!
Her palms were covered in a layer of cold sweat. She was yet to put the thing in her bag under the rostrum that was built in the banquet hall.
She and Gong Mochen were to stand side by side on the rostrum. Gong Mochen was on the left and she was on the right.
This position couldn't be wrong!
And what she needed to do now was to place this bomb under Gong Mochen's position!
She ordered all the workers to go home. And now, she was the only one left.
She walked up to the rostrum slowly and lifted the carpet, revealing the wooden rostrum. She lifted a wooden board and looked at the place where she could place this thing.
It just so happened that there was a metal bracket there, so she could put the bomb on it.
Suddenly, her phone rang. She was so nervous that she trembled, and almost threw the thing in her hand away.
She took out her phone and glanced at it. It was her mother, He Fen.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"What time is it? Why aren't you back yet? Don't you know that you're getting engaged tomorrow? Are you still going to have a beauty sleep?" He Fen asked angrily. She didn't understand her daughter's thinking. How could decorating the scene be more important than her beauty?
"Got it. I'll be back soon!" Qin Zixian replied and hung up the phone.
She trembled more violently. If she didn't put this thing in place, what would happen to her?
Would the man in the silver mask let her go? What would he do to her?
She was sure that if Gong Mochen didn't die, she would be the one to die. Moreover, Ye Wei, who was by Gong Mochen's side, would take over!
Could she really leave the man to Ye Wei?
Was she crazy? No one could have the man that she wanted! And if she couldn't have him, no one could.
She knelt on the ground, reached her hand into the empty hole, and placed the bomb on the iron frame.
Her eyes were fixated on the thing, and her heart was in turmoil. Tomorrow... As long as Gong Mochen stood here tomorrow, he would...
She didn't dare to think about it anymore. Just now, her heart was throbbing in pain. This was also the man that she had always loved. She loved him so much... Did she really want him to die?
She knew that if she told Gong Mochen tonight, then everything would be alright... But could she tell Gong Mochen? What about the man in the silver mask...
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps entered her ears. She was so scared that she put down the wooden board and covered it back over with the carpet.
Everything was as it was before. She stood up and stepped off the rostrum.
Nie Feng walked towards her.
"Fourth Miss, your mother asked me to bring you back to the villa," Nie Feng said.
Qin Zixian's heart was racing. The person who came was Nie Feng...
She wasn't afraid of anyone else, but Nie Feng. This man was Gong Mochen's most capable right-hand man. Did he see anything just now?
After all, this place was made of glass!
At that moment, she impulsively wanted to go back and confess to Gong Mochen.
"Oh, I just finished. Let's go!" she said reluctantly.
Nie Feng glanced at the rostrum. "Fourth Miss, walk faster. I have to go back to Gong Mochen's villa to protect him."
"Third Brother is still at his own villa? Didn't he go back to the Qin family mansion?" Qin Zixian asked.
"Yes, Gong Mochen is in his own villa," Nie Feng replied.
"Where's Ye Wei? Is she also there?" Qin Zixian asked.
