"ah?"

Meng Lianwu was completely bewildered and looked around, unaware that the green hat Lu Qing mentioned was right above her head, but she just couldn't see it herself.

Gu Xicheng asked Lu Qing, puzzled:

What did you say about being cuckolded?

Lu Qing felt a little awkward and quickly changed the subject: "Um...it's nothing. Who is this lady?"

"Her name is Meng Lianwu, and she is Meng Lianyun's older sister."

As soon as Gu Xicheng finished his introduction, Meng Lianyun came over with a grin to greet him:

"Hi! Little Lu Qing, long time no see!"

"Long time no see!" Lu Qing waved with a smile.

"Let's find a place to eat first, I'm starving!" Meng Lianyun urged.

Meng Lianwu rolled her eyes at him:

"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!"

Just then, Lu Qing's stomach growled again, leaving Gu Xicheng both amused and exasperated.

"Get in the car, I'll take you to a newly opened Cantonese restaurant, I heard the food is pretty good."

"Okay, okay!" Lu Qing hurriedly got into the car.

The topic of being cuckolded was diverted, and no one paid any attention to it.

But Lu Qing hesitated all the way to tell Meng Lianwu whether or not her husband had cheated on her.

It was her first time meeting Meng Lianwu, and what she said directly was quite presumptuous.

After thinking about it, she decided to keep it to herself. She planned to tell Gu Xicheng about it quietly after dinner and let him decide what to do.

The portions of each dish at this restaurant were not large. Gu Xicheng knew Lu Qing's appetite, so he asked the waiter to bring out the entire menu.

This way, Lu Qing can try every dish, and they don't have to worry about not being able to finish it. Anyway, for Lu Qing's stomach, these are just a small matter.

Seeing Lu Qing eating heartily and happily shaking his head, Meng Lianwu also felt a surge of appetite and ate a lot more.

After she had eaten most of her food, she went to the bathroom to touch up her makeup.

Just as she came out of the restroom, she saw a familiar figure flash by at the restaurant entrance.

"husband!"

Meng Lianwu quickly chased after him, but missed the elevator.

Because the figure looked so much like her husband, she wanted to know if it was him or not, so after seeing which floor the elevator was stopping at, she quickly took another elevator.

The elevator stopped on the fifth floor, which was full of guest rooms. Meng Lianwu didn't see anyone and was about to make a phone call when a dark figure silently approached from behind...

Lu Qing was eating when suddenly his eyelids twitched, and he had a bad feeling.

She looked up at Meng Lianyun and saw a flash of blood suddenly rise from his brother's palace, and her eyes narrowed instantly.

"Where is Sister Meng?" Lu Qing asked hurriedly.

Meng Lianyun: "My sister? It looks like she went to touch up her makeup! She's very image-conscious and always touches up her makeup after eating."

"Go find her quickly!"

Lu Qing even put down the half-eaten chicken leg she was munching on.

Before Meng Lianyun could react, Gu Xicheng had already given chase.

Hey! Where are you guys going? I haven't finished eating yet!

"What are you eating for! Something might have happened to your sister, go find her right now!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Lianyun quickly put down his chopsticks and chased after him.

Finding no one in the bathroom, Lu Qing took out a piece of yellow paper from her bag, cut out the shape of a dog, and then activated the talisman, letting the paper dog find the person by following the scent.

Finally, they found Meng Lianyun unconscious at the end of the corridor upstairs.

"Sis! Sis, what's wrong?"

Meng Lianyun quickly helped Meng Lianwu up, but when he touched the back of her head, he suddenly felt something sticky.

When I took it out, it was covered in bright red blood.

"sister!!!"

Meng Lianyun was so frightened that her eyes turned red.

Gu Xicheng quickly called an ambulance, while Lu Qing checked Meng Lianwu's injuries and then quickly grabbed a towel from the side and pressed it against the wound.

Meng Lianwu was quickly put into an ambulance, accompanied by Meng Lianyun as a family member, while Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing drove there in their own cars.

After more than two hours of emergency treatment, Meng Lianwu was finally out of danger.

"Fortunately, the patient was brought in in time and is now out of danger."

Hearing the doctor's words, Meng Lianyun's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but the doctor's words soon made him tense again.

"The patient was struck on the head with a blunt object, probably a hammer or something similar. If we don't know exactly what happened to her, I suggest we call the police."

"What!" Meng Lianyun's pupils shrank sharply.

He understood; his sister had been beaten up like that!

"Who is it? Who on earth is it? Why would they attack my sister?" Meng Lianyun clenched his fists.

Gu Xicheng hurried over to comfort him:

"I'll call the police for you. First, think about whether your sister has offended anyone!"

After thinking it over carefully, Meng Lianyun shook his head with red eyes:

"Don't let my sister's fierce attitude towards me fool you. At the company, she's always been tolerant and forgiving. She never mistreats her employees and rarely clashes with others when negotiating deals. Even if a deal falls through, it's not like she'd resort to violence!"

"Then we can only wait for the police investigation!" Gu Xicheng said, frowning.

At this moment, Lu Qing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke weakly:

"Um... I've foreseen some things, would you like to hear them?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Lianyun realized that Lu Qing could tell fortunes, so she must know the truth.

"Lu Qing, what did you figure out?" Meng Lianyun asked hurriedly.

Lu Qing pursed her lips:

"Think it through. If the truth of this matter is told, not only might you not be able to accept it, but your sister might not be able to accept it either."

"My sister almost died! No matter who the murderer is, I must bring him to justice!" Meng Lianyun roared.

Although Meng Lianyun usually hides from Meng Lianwu like a mouse before a cat, he cares deeply for this older sister.

When he saw Meng Lianwu's life hanging by a thread, even the usually carefree playboy became serious.

Lu Qing thought for a moment, then said in a deep voice:

"Actually, the person who injured your sister is..."

Lu Qing was interrupted by a shout from outside the door before she could finish speaking.

"Wife! How are you, wife?"

A man rushed in, threw himself at the bedside, grasped Meng Lianwu's hand, and wept bitterly.

This is Qu Yuance, Meng Lianwu's husband and Meng Lianyun's brother-in-law.

Qu Yuance married into the Meng family. His parents were farmers and his family was poor. They even had to borrow money to pay for his university education.

At first, Meng Lianyun looked down on Qu Yuance, but later, seeing that he was indeed good to Meng Lianwu, never fighting back or arguing, and even willing to marry into the family, he finally acknowledged Qu's status.

Seeing him crying like this, Meng Lianyun stepped forward to comfort him:

"Brother-in-law, my sister is alright, she'll be back soon..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing interrupted him with her sobs:

"But the doctor said that Sister Meng is very likely not to wake up. The injury to the back of her head is too severe, and she may become a vegetable."

Meng Lianyun was about to retort when Gu Xicheng grabbed her shoulder:

"Lianyun, don't be too sad. As long as we don't give up, there's still a chance that Sister Meng will wake up."

As Gu Xicheng spoke, he gave Meng Lianyun a meaningful look.

Meng Lianyun's eyes flickered, and he nodded as if he realized something:

"Thank you... thank you all. I really hope my sister can wake up!"

When Qu Yuance heard that Meng Lianwu might not wake up, a hint of surprise inadvertently appeared in his eyes.

Lu Qing secretly cast a spell to put Meng Lianwu into a deep sleep, thus deceiving Qu Yuance.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay the bill, Meng Lianyun pulled Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng to a secluded spot and hurriedly asked:

"What did you just mean? Why did you say my sister wouldn't wake up?"

Lu Qing rolled her eyes at him, speechless.

"Qu Yuan Ce was almost bursting into laughter just now, and you didn't even notice!"

"What!" Meng Lianyun was stunned for a moment before he reacted:

"You mean the person who injured my sister was my brother-in-law!"
