The master has changed
Li Jinghe examined the dart in his hand closely, frowning, but after a long time he found nothing.
The flowers retreated into the shadows.
Yue walked in from outside, saying, "Master has found out."
"explain,"
Yue reported, "I learned from Wu Qi's neighbors that he is indeed a bodyguard, and his wife and daughter did disappear overnight."
"We went to the government office to report it, but the government searched for a whole day and night without finding any clues, so they could only classify it as a missing person case."
“However…” he hesitated, looking down.
Li Jinghe asked, "But what?"
"However, three days ago, the authorities found two bodies in the river. Their age and gender were very similar to Wu Qi's missing wife and daughter, so I suspect that his wife and daughter have been murdered."
Li Jinghe closed his eyes, realizing that the person behind the scenes was a capable individual. "Send someone to bring his wife and children back from the yamen."
"Bury them together."
Yue was surprised by Li Jinghe's behavior, which was unlike his previous style; he was not a kind person.
He wouldn't kindly help someone who has nothing to do with him. Is the master still the master I used to know?
Li Jinghe looked over and said, "What? Do you have something else to say?"
Yue came to her senses and respectfully said, "This subordinate takes her leave."
After he left, Li Jinghe looked out into the darkness, and Su Yuexing's face appeared in his mind.
He found himself outside her room as if possessed, and knocked on the door.
Just as Su Yuexing was about to go to sleep, she sat up and asked warily, "Who is it?"
“It’s me,” Li Jinghe replied.
Su Yuexing opened the door and said, "Why are you here?"
Li Jinghe took out a dart and said, "Wu Qi is dead. The murder weapon is this dart."
Su Yuexing's pupils contracted in shock as she asked, "Who is the murderer?"
Li Jinghe shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Three days ago, the bodies of Wu Qi's wife and daughter were found in the river.
Su Yuexing frowned and said, "The person behind this is far too audacious!"
Li Jinghe entered her room, picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "So I've made a big decision."
Su Yuexing asked him with a serious expression, "What's the big deal?"
“I’ve decided to sleep with you tonight and protect you,” he said.
Su Yuexing's mouth opened slightly, her eyes filled with doubt as she asked, "You're going to protect me?"
Snow, hiding in the shadows, was exasperated. "And what about me, Master? What is your purpose in sending me here?"
At the same time, her eyes were full of disappointment. Her master had already fallen for this woman, and it seemed that she had no chance.
Suddenly, a hand patted her shoulder from behind. Without turning around, Xue knew who it was.
Yue leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "Now it's like the two of us are protecting them."
Hua Congyue appeared on the other side and said, "No, it's the three of us protecting the two of them."
Yue asked, "Don't you guys think our master is acting strangely?"
The flowers and snow nodded in unison.
“Master is not as sinister and cruel as before,” Hua said.
Xue said, "It seems that Master's change is related to this Su Yuexing."
Yue shook her head and said, "It's not just a possibility, it's certain!"
Su Yuexing looked her up and down and said, "I really don't think you have the ability to protect me."
"Maybe I'll be the one to protect you, after all, I'm much stronger than the average person."
Li Jinghe said frankly, "You can protect me too." After saying that, he took off his clothes.
The flowers and the moon in the shadows exchanged a glance, their lips curving upwards in unison, and a shared thought arose in their minds: Our master is in heat.
Only Xue's expression was somewhat unpleasant.
Li Jinghe lay down comfortably on the bed, looking completely relaxed.
Su Yuexing reached out and grabbed his hand, saying, "Why are you sleeping here again!"
"Go back to your room and sleep!"
Li Jinghe replied with his eyes closed, "Didn't you say you would protect me? How can you protect me when I'm not by your side?"
Su Yuexing was so angry that she didn't know what to say for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered something and said, "Don't you have bodyguards?"
"Have your bodyguards protect you!"
Li Jinghe suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the place where the guards were hiding. He had forgotten about them, which startled the three of them, and they quickly left.
Su Yuexing looked in the direction Li Jinghe was staring at and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Li Jinghe looked at her beautiful hair and said, "It's nothing."
"Since we both have some free time now, let's sort out our thoughts."
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "Okay."
Li Jinghe said, "First of all, my father passed away, and it is tentatively assumed that he died from an overdose of medication."
"Then someone tried to kill me, and the person who tried to kill me was silenced by the person behind the scenes."
Su Yuexing asked, "What would happen if you died?"
Li Jinghe's eyes darkened, and he repeated, "What would happen if I died?"
He slowly closed his eyes, and many faces appeared in his mind.
Su Yuexing waited for a long time but he didn't make a sound. She thought he was asleep, so she lay down next to him.
She had just closed her eyes when Li Jinghe suddenly opened them and said, "I understand!"
Su Yuexing was startled and asked, "What do you know?"
Li Jinghe looked at her and said, "I have to go to the capital."
Without a second thought, Su Yuexing immediately said, "I'll go too! Xiao Bao died in the capital, I must go and investigate the capital."
Li Jinghe disagreed, saying, "No! The capital is too dangerous! You can't go."
Su Yuexing frowned, not understanding what he meant by saying that the capital was dangerous.
"Why?" she asked.
Li Jinghe said sternly, "There's no reason why, you just can't go!"
Su Yuexing's temper flared up immediately, and she said, "Li Jinghe! You can't interfere with me!"
"Give me the letter of divorce! You go your way, and I'll go mine!" she said, holding out her hand.
Hearing her mention divorce papers, Li Jinghe seemed to have his weakness exposed and said, "You can go, but you have to listen to me in everything."
Su Yuexing raised an eyebrow and said, "Why should I!"
Li Jinghe exclaimed angrily, "You!"
Just as the two were arguing, Hua Hong knocked on the door and hurriedly said, "Young Madam! Something terrible has happened!"
Su Yuexing went to open the door. "What's wrong with Hua Hong?" Li Jinghe stood behind her.
Seeing Li Jinghe here, Hua Hong was somewhat surprised and told him the news she had just received, "Miss Su, she..."
Su Yuexing gripped her shoulders anxiously and asked, "What happened to my sister?"
“She encountered an assassin and is now unconscious,” Hua Hong said.
Su Yuexing swayed, but fortunately Li Jinghe caught her from behind.
Tears instantly streamed down her face, and her voice trembled as she said, "Yue... Yuewei!"
"Yuewei!"
She staggered forward, and Li Jinghe immediately supported her, saying, "Be careful!"
Su Yuexing felt her feet were very heavy; she had never imagined that this stretch of road would take so long.
The doctor is treating the patient, and basins of bloody fluid are being carried out.
Su Yuexing trembled uncontrollably, praying silently: Mother! Xiaobao! You must protect Yuewei! May she be safe this time!
The doctor came out and sighed helplessly, saying, "She has only one breath left. Go in and see her one last time."
Su Yuexing forced herself to stand and rushed inside, calling out, "Yuewei!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Su Yuewei slowly opened her eyes and weakly said, "Sister, I'm in so much pain."
Su Yuexing took her hand and said, "Tell me, who is responsible for making you like this?"
Tears streamed down Su Yuewei's face. He had promised me he would spare my life, so why did he send people to kill me?
"Sister! Avenge me! It's Sai..." Before she could finish her sentence, a dart pierced her throat.
Blood splattered all over Su Yuexing's face, and her mind went blank.
Su Yuewei lay on the bed, her eyes wide open, lifeless.
Su Yuexing's vision went black, and she fainted.
Li Jinghe immediately took her pulse and found that she was just frightened, which put his mind at ease.
Li Jinghe carried Su Yuexing back to Changshou Garden, where Hua Xueyue and the other two knelt on the ground, saying, "Please punish us, Master, for failing to capture the person."
Li Jinghe ordered, "Go down and take thirty lashes."
"Yes!" the three replied in unison.
Su Yuexing was awakened by the pain; she saw that her body was covered in needles.
Seeing that she was awake, Li Jinghe said, "If she hadn't woken up, I would have doubted my medical skills."
Su Yuexing asked in a hoarse voice, "How long have I been unconscious?"
Li Jinghe slowly removed the needles from her body and said, "You really can sleep. You were unconscious for five days and five nights."
After removing the needles from her body, Li Jinghe poured her a glass of water and handed it to her, saying, "Have a drink of water."
Su Yuexing took it, quickly finished it, and said, "I want more."
Li Jinghe had no choice but to resign himself to pouring her more cups. After drinking seven or eight cups, Su Yuexing finally felt a little better.
Seeing that she had woken up, Li Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I have already taken care of your sister's funeral."
He actually has another message to share, but he's unsure whether he should tell her.
Su Yuexing sincerely thanked her, saying, "Thank you."
Li Jinghe hesitated and said, "I have some bad news for you. Be prepared."
Su Yuexing was taken aback, then said helplessly, "What do you think I can't lose right now?"
Li Jinghe pursed his lips and said, "Your father got into a fight in prison on the second day after you fell into a coma and was beaten to death."
Su Yuexing's heart trembled, her eyes reddened, and she looked at Li Jinghe and said, "I have no family left in this world, do I?"
"Why! My loved ones are leaving me one after another!" she cried.
Li Jinghe let her cry. Sometimes it's good to let her cry. He wasn't afraid of her crying; he was afraid she wouldn't cry, afraid that she would keep her emotions bottled up inside.
Su Yuexing cried herself to sleep and said, "I want to go see them."
Li Jinghe nodded and said, "It's too late today, I'll go with you tomorrow morning."
"Okay," Su Yuexing replied.
Su Yuexing walked with a slightly unsteady gait, and Li Jinghe said worriedly, "Why don't you rest for a few more days until you feel better?"
"Go again after that."
Su Yuexing shook her head and said, "No need, I can do it."
The two walked for a while and arrived at the grave.
Su Yuexing knelt on the ground burning paper money, crying out, "Yuewei! I will definitely avenge you!"
Her gaze fell on a grave beside her. "Father! This is the last time I'll call you that. I don't want to be your daughter in the next life!"
After coming down from the mountain, Su Yuexing said, "I want to go back and see my mother and Xiaobao."
Li Jinghe was worried about her health and said, "Let's call it a day."
Su Yuexing said firmly, "No! Today!"
Seeing her resolute attitude, Li Jinghe had no choice but to agree. The two traveled for two hours to reach Xikou Village, and then walked for another hour along the mountain path before finally arriving at the grave.
Li Jinghe looked at Su Yuexing's pale face and asked, "Are you alright?"
Su Yuexing nodded and said, "I'm fine."
