stab wound

Mu Qingyan understood the ambiguous meaning in these words.

Because of her appearance, an accident occurred at the exhibition, and Chen You almost became the direct person responsible. It would be unreasonable if this did not create some hatred.

So she was really curious and wanted to hear how Ye Ningyu would continue the story.

Unfortunately, before Ye Ningyu could continue, Kinsley, who was originally some distance away from Mu Qingyan, walked over casually and happened to stand in front of her, blocking Ye Ningyu's sight.

"Brother Ye, what do you mean by this?"

Ye Ningyu and Kinsley were not very close. It was just that a long time ago, this third brother who was a few years younger than him was dragged out by Shen You to play. They did not get along well and did not become close friends. They rarely met at family dinners and banquets. Therefore, Ye Ningyu had the impression that Kinsley was nothing special and he never interfered in the affairs of the Shen family.

Obviously, today, the Kinsley standing next to Shen Chuxuan with a serious face was indeed a little different, making him feel a little insecure when speaking.

"No...it's nothing! I'm just explaining the facts I know. Ah Yin, you're not often at home, so of course you don't know as much about your elder brother as I do!" Ye Ningyu said, turning to Chen Sir, "Look, there must be a motive for murder. Then this Miss Mu is really-"

"According to what you said, it was Big Brother who told you that Miss Mu had come to see him. This means Big Brother was safe and sound after Miss Mu left. Moreover, Miss Mu is a girl. I think with her physical strength, it should be impossible for her to be unscathed after injuring Big Brother and Assistant Cheng. What do you think, Second Brother?"

Kinsley explained sentence by sentence, surprisingly patiently, which made Ye Ningyu impatient:

"Then... then you can't guarantee that Mu Qingyan has never come to Chen You's room again! Besides, who knows if she... hired someone to kill someone?!"

"Tanaka." Kinsley snapped his fingers. "Bring Jacob in."

"yes."

The bodyguard didn't know what frightened him again. He looked even more listless than before. He looked around the room blankly before he came back to his senses with a start.

"Jacob, answer truthfully. Did you see Miss Mu come to see Big Brother last night and early this morning?"

Kinsley's tone of questioning was calm enough, but it also surprised those who knew him, as if the Miss Mu mentioned just now was really just an ordinary employee hired by his sister and had nothing to do with him, and he was just locking down the suspect bit by bit for his elder brother.

“…Who? Miss Mu…Miss Mu?”

Kinsley's emotionless state obviously didn't get through to Jacob, who was stunned for a moment before finally falling to his knees.

"Young Master... I haven't seen Miss Mu here before..."

"Um."

Kinsley nodded and turned to Ye Ningyu with an expression that said "you heard it".

"Second Brother Ye, as for what you just said about whether Miss Mu hired a killer, Sir Chen will definitely find out. When the time comes, he will convict her, so you don't have to worry about it."

This made Ye Ningyu furious, and he shouted at the man regardless of his own injuries:

"Kinsley! Why are you still helping outsiders? I'm your future brother-in-law!"

However, Kinsley completely ignored his monologue, and even Shen Chuxuan did not react.

Mu Qingyan didn't have time to say anything and felt at peace, but she wasn't truly at peace. After listening to the back-and-forth explanation in silence, Officer Chen suddenly turned to her.

"Miss Mu, is that you?"

Mu Qingyan looked at the hand extended by the other party and calmly shook it.

"Ms. Mu, I also heard about the surprise inspection at Shen's yesterday, so I'd like to ask, where were you after 4 a.m. today?"

"In the room, rest."

"Is there anyone who can testify?"

Even from the sound of Yu Guangmu's voice, he could sense that Kinsley's expression had become increasingly unhappy since Inspector Chen started questioning him, and at this moment, he was obviously almost unable to hold back and wanted to tell the truth directly.

——Other things are fine, but this certainly cannot be done according to his wishes.

Mu Qingyan raised her hand and seemingly unintentionally tidied the hair by her ear, signaling to interrupt Kinsley's impulse to speak for her.

"I actually—"

“Whoosh—”

The sharp blade cut through the air, and amid Shen Chuxuan's screams, the whole room fell into terrible silence again.

"Qing Yan!"

Everyone watched in shock as Inspector Chen, who was conducting a routine inquiry, suddenly stabbed Miss Mu with the knife that was believed to be the murder weapon.

As the blade got closer, Kinsley, who was not far away, reacted extremely quickly and took action.

Before Mr. Tanaka could even get close, he had already intercepted the arm that was about to stab him.

Originally, this would have been the best outcome, but who would have thought that Vasile Guan had actually pulled Miss Mu back before that and even moved sideways to block the attack of the blade.

So, although it was not a serious injury, the knife still cut his left wrist.

After a moment of shock, Mu Qingyan understood Sir Chen's intention, but it was obviously not enough for her to understand it alone.

Kinsley exploded almost the next second after confirming that she was okay. Extreme panic was replaced by extreme anger. He clamped the inspector's upper arm and pulled him hard, taking advantage of the other person's unstable center of gravity to press him directly against the wall behind him.

There was a dull sound, and it seemed that he had used a lot of strength.

"William! My Shen family invited you here to do some work, so you'd better put away those messy investigative methods of yours! Finally, I advise you, if you dare to do it again, I can't guarantee that you and your people will leave here intact!"

Kinsley's tone was extremely suppressed, as if countless complicated emotions were stirring dangerously like a volcano about to erupt. His eyes, staring at the person, gathered fierceness again. A casual glance around made the young policemen who wanted to come over to rescue their boss dare not move.

His upper arm was pressed against the inspector's neck, and his hand, which was holding the other's collar, was still trembling slightly.

Chen Chuxuan and Mu Qingyan looked at each other and realized that she was the only one who could break this situation at the moment, so she stepped forward, patted her brother's shoulder, and gently pulled his arm away.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. My brother was impulsive, but you also saw—"

She pointed to Vasile Guan who was holding her wrist.

"Your methods aren't always foolproof. Dr. Guan is a world-renowned surgeon. You'd better pray that the blow you just made didn't damage the nerves in his hand."

After Chen Chuxuan's reminder, Mu Qingyan finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Although she didn't expect the good doctor's sudden behavior, it was because of her injury after all, and it was wrong to ignore it.

"Dr. Guan, thank you. Are you okay?"

"Yan, I'm fine."

The doctor's expression remained the same, the pain did not cause him to lose his composure at all.

"Vice President Shen, Sir Chen, it's just a superficial injury, no need to worry."

"Jack, go get the doctor."

"No need, Vice President Shen. Although there is a saying in China that 'doctors don't treat themselves', please rest assured that I can still handle this minor injury. I have something else to say to Mr. Chen——"

He glanced at Kinsley before continuing.

"Miss Mu wasn't feeling well last night. As both a doctor and a friend, I couldn't just ignore her. She was with me the entire night. So, as Mr. Chen asked, I was the witness who could have been Miss Mu after 4 a.m. And with what you just did, can Miss Mu be cleared of suspicion for now?"

There was an uproar.

Kinsley seemed to be hesitant to speak, and his expression was very strange, but in the end he said nothing.

Inspector Chen, who was finally let go, straightened his collar and began to explain that he just wanted to test whether Miss Mu really had the ability to quietly injure two adult men and escape successfully.

After all, he was a man who had experienced countless life and death situations. He was not affected by Kinsley's violent treatment, and his tone remained steady.

With his experience and observation skills, he knew from the moment he shook hands with Miss Mu that she had just the physical fitness of an ordinary woman.

When he raised the knife to stab, he could see the surprise in his eyes and the tension in his clasped hands. This was all instinctive and understandable, but it was strange that this state was fleeting and the other party quickly relaxed, not even having the intention of dodging.

In this case, either she had already guessed that he would not really take action, or she had experienced too many such things and therefore did not care.

From the perspective of a senior inspector, no matter which one, he had to admit that Miss Mu might not be a simple person.

——No wonder Kinsley lost his composure like that.

"Now that everything has been made clear, Mr. Chen, Vice President Shen, if you don't mind, Yan and I will leave first. Yan——"

Vasile Guan lowered his head to seek the opinions of those around him.

"Maybe I'd like you to bandage it for me, please?"

Mu Qingyan didn't want to leave Chen Chuxuan to face what was next alone, but a simple eye contact and the latter's affirmative look made her understand that she could not refuse Dr. Guan's current request.

"Yes, of course."

…

The blood and noise from not long ago gradually faded away, and Mu Qingyan followed Vasile Guan to his room.

The waiter waiting outside the door had met them at last night's dinner. He was surprised to see his host's bleeding hand and hurriedly welcomed them in.

All the suites in the hotel are decorated similarly, but the doctor obviously still retains the habit of reading paper books. There are many heavy books placed next to the table in the living room and the lounge chair on the balcony, making the whole room look full of charm.

"Yan, take a seat first while I go change...hiss——"

The pain seemed to come on belatedly, and the sound of inhaling was very sincere.

Mu Qingyan didn't care what he was going to change. He helped him sit on the sofa and gently pulled his injured wrist to check.

The wound was not deep, but because of its tricky location, it bled profusely. Drops of blood seeped into Mu Qingyan's hand and then fell onto the carpet. The sticky touch made her feel very uncomfortable.

"Yan...Yan? Are you okay? You always make me feel like I'm going to see God..."

In order to ease her mood, the kind doctor made a joke.

Mu Qingyan smiled apologetically, not knowing what to say to avoid embarrassment. Fortunately, the waiter pushed the first aid equipment over.

Mu Qingyan placed the injured hand in a container filled with medicine and stood up consciously to help clean the wound.

The blood stains were cleaned up and moved to the X-ray equipment nearby for examination. Fortunately, the result was that it was indeed just a skin injury, which could be treated in a few minutes with today's technology.

But as for Mu Qingyan herself, because of her special physique, she can only rely on traditional methods to bandage wounds all year round, and it is inevitable that she will sometimes have doubts about all machines developed by people other than herself. So even though new epidermal cells have proliferated on Vasile Guan's wound, she still found the bandage at the bottom of the medicine box and insisted on wrapping it around him several times.

No one spoke in the room, and Mu Qingyan was bandaging the wound very seriously until a chuckle suddenly came to his ears.

Her unconventional and inexplicably stubborn behavior seemed to amuse the other party.

"Yan, I'm surprised you care so much about my injury..."

There was still a hint of smile in the good doctor's tone.

Mu Qingyan gently tied a knot on the bandage, blinked at the white thread, but her response was not as gentle as her action -

"Dr. Guan, are you left-handed?"
