Chapter 275 Have you fallen in love with me?
"Help! Someone's trying to kill me!" Zhuang Ling shouted as he ran.
"You bitch, let's see how far you can run!"
No matter how fast Zhuang Ling ran, she couldn't outrun these men. She could only desperately shout for help, hoping someone would come to her aid.
"Help..." Her mouth was covered by someone who caught up from behind.
Zhuang Ling stomped hard on the man's foot behind her with her heel.
"Ah!" The man behind her screamed and released Zhuang Ling.
Zhuang Ling swung the briefcase in his hand like a madman, yelling, "Get out of here! All of you, get out!"
She was terrified. She closed her eyes and frantically swung her purse to keep these people away.
Suddenly someone grabbed her wrist, and her back slammed against a hard chest. She tried to struggle and scream, but then she heard a familiar male voice in her ear, "It's me, don't be afraid!"
Zhuang Ling opened her eyes, turned her head and saw the person behind her. Her stiff body relaxed, and she asked in a tearful voice, "Young Master Qi, what are you doing here?"
Qi Hang came with Qi Feiyao. Qi Lin went inside with her, while he waited outside.
He got a craving for a cigarette while waiting in the car, so he got out, leaned against the door, lit one, took a drag, looked at the park across the street, and felt something was off.
There should be many people taking evening strolls and visiting parks during this season, but there was no one in the park across the street, which made Qi Hang more vigilant.
He led a few people over to see what was going on.
Just as he reached the park entrance, he heard a woman's cries for help coming from inside. Qi Hang stopped in his tracks. It turned out that someone had cleared the people out of the park, intending to do something bad.
Qi Hang wanted to turn back, but the woman's voice sounded familiar. His feet seemed to move on their own, and he continued walking into the park.
The closer he got, the faster Qi Hang walked. He remembered whose familiar voice it was.
He saw Zhuang Ling with his eyes closed, swinging the briefcase in his hand to keep the five or six thugs around from getting close; he looked terrified.
Qi Hang flicked his finger, and the men behind him quickly subdued the thugs.
Zhuang Ling was still frantically waving the handbag in her hand, already panting heavily, but she showed no sign of stopping.
Qi Hang could only go over and stop her actions.
Instead of answering Zhuang Ling's question, Qi Hang asked, "Why are you here alone?"
Zhuang Ling's eyes were red and swollen, clearly from crying. She sobbed, "I've been feeling anxious lately, so I came to see a psychologist. After the appointment, I sat in the park for a while. When it got dark, I wanted to cross the park to catch the bus, and that's when I met these people."
"Thank goodness you saved me, Young Master Qi," Zhuang Ling hugged himself, his body shivering. "Otherwise, I would have been dead today. They would have raped and then killed me!"
Qi Hang squinted and looked around; this really was a blind spot for surveillance cameras.
"Boss, what should we do with these people?" Qi Hang's subordinate asked.
Qi Hang looked down at Zhuang Ling and asked, "Should we call the police?"
Zhuang Ling nodded. She took out her phone from her purse. The phone screen was cracked in two places, probably from when she hit the blond guy.
She opened her phone; the cracked screen didn't affect its use, and Zhuang Ling called the police herself.
Five minutes later, the police car arrived. After Zhuang Ling explained the situation, the thugs were put into the police car, and Zhuang Ling also needed to go back to the police station to give a statement.
Qi Hang couldn't go along because he had to wait for Qi Feiyao and Qi Lin, but he sent two people with him and instructed them to take Zhuang Ling home safely.
"Young Master Qi, thank you for today!" Zhuang Ling bowed to Qi Hang and then followed the police.
After watching Zhuang Ling leave, Qi Hang returned to the downstairs of Deng Qian's clinic.
Qi Feiyao and Qi Lin just came out.
Qi Hang went over to her and asked, "Mom, do you feel the treatment is working?"
Qi Feiyao smiled and nodded, "Yes, it turns out I really did have a mental illness. I'm sorry to have worried you two siblings during this time."
Qi Lin looked much more relaxed. Her mother was recovering and should soon be back to normal.
"It's good that it works," Qi Hang said, opening the car door for Qi Feiyao and Qi Lin to get in. "I'll tell my dad in a bit; he's very concerned about your condition."
Mentioning Chu Weize brought a pang of pain to Qi Feiyao's heart. After their last meeting at the hospital, Chu Weize had never appeared in front of her again, but her two children would often mention him.
All she wants now is to recover from her illness as soon as possible so that she can see Chu Weize in the best possible condition.
It was Chu Weize. She had recently gotten used to silently calling this name in her heart; Qi Wende had become a thing of the past.
Whether it's Qi Wende or Chu Weize, she wants to fight for herself again.
...
After seeing Qi Feiyao off, Deng Qian began packing her things to go home.
She drove back to the Deng family home and heard from the maid that He Wei had already returned and was upstairs in his room. Deng Qian carried her bag upstairs and went back to their room.
He Wei was fiddling with the computer, it was unclear whether he was busy with work or personal matters.
He heard the door open, turned around and glanced at it, saying in a flat tone, "You're back!"
After saying that, he continued to focus his attention on the computer.
Deng Qian took the diamond ring jewelry box out of her bag, walked to He Wei's side, and placed the box on the computer desk. "Mo Chi sent it back."
He Wei stiffened, glanced at the familiar box, and reached out to put it away. "Thank you!"
“He Wei,” Deng Qian pursed her lips, “can we talk?”
He Wei closed his laptop and turned his chair toward Deng Qian. "What do you want to talk about? I'm in good spirits lately."
“I know you’re perfectly normal right now,” Deng Qian said, rubbing her forehead with one hand. “What I want to talk to you about isn’t your illness, but your feelings.”
"You want to talk to me about feelings?" He Wei's tone was as flat as water, "because we've slept together?"
“You…” Deng Qian bit her lower lip, and after a long while, she continued, “Then let’s talk about your relationship with Chu Rou.”
"Chu Rou and Mo Chi are so deeply in love right now, you can't possibly get close to them."
"Chu Rou broke up with you because of your betrayal, which shows that she doesn't tolerate infidelity. But you are a married man now. Do you think she would have an affair with you?"
"I can end our marriage at any time." Deng Qian's words did not affect He Wei's emotions in any way.
Just as she had thought, hearing He Wei say it with her own ears still made Deng Qian feel as if her heart was being torn apart.
"He Wei, do you really love Chu Rou?" Deng Qian bit her lower lip until blood oozed out, staining her lips red. "True love is about letting go, but you only think about possessing. This isn't love for Chu Rou; it's love for yourself. You don't want to suffer."
He Wei's eyes turned sinister. He stared intently at Deng Qian, then suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Have you fallen in love with me?"
