Since Huo Xian returned, Huo Qi has fallen out of favor. Lin Ruanruan talks about Huo Xian all the time and can't bear to be apart from her for even a moment.
Huo Xian enjoyed the soft-faced woman's dependence on her, but Huo Qi didn't feel so good about it.
These past few days, while they were back in the Southern Province discussing wedding arrangements, Lin Ruanruan was constantly hanging around Huo Xian, leaving Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng and Huo Qi out in the cold.
Xuan Yuan Hao Cheng and Huo Qi both looked resentful, as if their wives had completely forgotten about them.
This went on for several days until the day they finally set a wedding date.
Lin Ruanruan got up early, drew back the curtains and looked at the misty scenery outside the window. She stretched and yawned as she went into the dressing room.
She got up too early; her parents weren't up yet. She picked out her clothes and changed. Today, her family and her friends were going to discuss the wedding date. She and Huo Xian had decided to hold their weddings on the same day, and today was also the day they would get their marriage certificates together.
Thinking of this, Lin Ruanruan blushed and couldn't help but slap her cheeks. "Why am I still shy after all this time?"
She went to the dressing room and carefully groomed herself. After finishing, she nodded in satisfaction. Just as she picked up the perfume bottle from the table and was about to spray it, she lost her grip and knocked the glass perfume bottle to the corner of the table.
"Oh!" Lin Ruanruan was startled, spilling an entire bottle of perfume all over her dress. "I'll have to find something else to change into..."
Just as she was about to get up and tidy up, she suddenly sensed someone behind her, and goosebumps rose all over her body. "Who?!"
Her response was a handkerchief soaked in medicine, and Lin Ruanruan immediately fainted in the arms of the person who came.
When she woke up, she found herself in a completely unfamiliar place, her hands and feet chained together. She tried to move, but the chains were so tight that she couldn't move at all.
Looking around, I found that this was an extremely cozy-looking room, with a pink bed, warm-toned decor, and warm-colored curtains.
The curtains were drawn tightly, so she couldn't see the view outside the window. She could only tell from the faint light that it was daytime.
Who? Who kidnapped her?
As if hearing Lin Ruanruan's doubts, a sound of footsteps came from outside, growing louder as it approached.
Lin Ruanruan looked warily at the door. The handle was turned, and the person outside came in and closed the door, preventing Lin Ruanruan from seeing outside at all.
When she saw the person's face clearly, Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened instantly, "Xu, Xu Zhaomu?"
Why are you here?
Why Xu Chaomu? The Fang family? Didn't the Fang family almost capture him? And just recently, Uncle Fang uncovered Xu Chaomu's informants in China...
"Why can't I be here?" Xu Chaomu stepped forward and hooked Lin Ruanruan's chin with his hand.
"Doesn't Ruan Ruan know?"
Xu Chaomu's eyes were unfathomable. "I underestimated Ruan Ruan. You were the one who suspected Bai Jin first, weren't you?"
Lin Ruanruan's eyes widened slightly. "So, you want to get revenge on me?"
She noticed Bai Jin unexpectedly in Wang Zihao's hospital room and felt that there was something wrong with him. She directly called Fang Si and expressed her suspicions.
While she was in college, the Bai family finally slipped up. They had been in contact with Xu Chaomu overseas. Following the clues, they finally wiped out Xu Chaomu's mole a few months ago and even captured Mo Jiang, who had been on the run.
Xu Chaomu was cunning enough to have multiple escape routes, but he managed to get away. I never expected him to be so bold as to kidnap her.
Hearing Lin Ruanruan's words, Xu Chaomu chuckled, "How could I possibly take revenge on you? I admire you."
He leaned close to Lin Ruanruan's eyes and looked at her intently. "We are the same kind of people, so why did you betray me?"
"Who's the same kind of person as you? There's no question of betrayal between us."
Xu Chaomu moved his fingers down and grabbed Lin Ruanruan's neck. Lin Ruanruan's hands were handcuffed behind her back and she couldn't resist at all.
Seeing that Lin Ruanruan's face had turned red, Xu Chaomu slowly exhaled and gently released Lin Ruanruan's neck.
Lin Ruanruan quickly moved her body away from Xu Chaomu.
"From the first moment I saw you, I knew that you and I were the same kind of people, and that we were a match made in heaven."
Xu Chaomu leaned over and grabbed Lin Ruanruan's hair, forcing her closer to him and making her look at him. "And you only want to become like these ignorant pigs? Isn't that betrayal?"
Lin Ruanruan was almost amused by Xu Chaomu's words, "That's an illness, it needs treatment. I think you're really quite ill."
Xu Chaomu narrowed his eyes slightly and slapped Lin Ruanruan across the face, causing her mouth to bleed.
Lin Ruanruan spat out the blood from her mouth, her throat tasting a metallic sweetness, and stared at Xu Chaomu with a gloomy expression.
Xu Chaomu smiled when he saw Lin Ruanruan's appearance. He smiled happily until he was tired of smiling. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Lin Ruanruan.
Lin Ruanruan was the purest person he had ever met, and he became interested in her the first time they met.
Later, he didn't expect that this person was just like him, except that he preferred to destroy the world rather than destroy himself.
"You're the one who's sick. How about I help you get back to normal?" Xu Chaomu smiled gently.
This gentleness sent a chill down Lin Ruanruan's spine. "What do you mean?"
Xu Chaomu stared at Lin Ruanruan in silence for a long time. Just when Lin Ruanruan thought he wouldn't speak again, Xu Chaomu spoke up.
"Kill Huo Qi and use his blood to heal you, and you will return to normal."
Xu Chaomu's voice was like a demon's voice from hell, chilling Lin Ruanruan to the bone. "What do you want to do? What exactly do you want to do? What do you want to do to Huo Qi!"
Xu Chaomu raised an eyebrow. "See, you really are quite ill. You actually fell in love with Huo Qi. The person you should have fallen in love with is me."
"It should be around dusk, right? Huo Qi will bring money to ransom you. It's an abandoned factory in the suburbs, on the next hill. I've planted explosives inside. You'll see the grandest fireworks display then, just like the confession Huo Qi prepared for you back then."
Lin Ruanruan was trembling all over. "No, you can't, don't hurt him, I beg you, don't hurt him..."
Huo Qi would definitely go to save her. At this moment, Lin Ruanruan felt utterly desperate. Why did Xu Chaomu, this perverted psychopath, have to target her?
She hates herself now.
Xu Chaomu gently placed her hand on Lin Ruanruan's swollen face, her voice soft, "I'm treating you. You made me lose everything, and I haven't even held a grudge. I'm still trying to find ways to treat you. How can you not be grateful?"
Lin Ruanruan shook her head, "You can do whatever you want to me, but please let Huo Qi go, okay? I can, I can go back to normal..."
“No.” Xu Chaomu rejected Lin Ruanruan’s suggestion. “How can a patient negotiate with a doctor? A patient only needs to follow the doctor’s instructions.”
After saying that, Xu Chaomu stood up. "Now, I'm going to that abandoned factory to talk to Huo Qi. He will take the money and head to the fireworks I've prepared for you."
