Chapter 58 Revenge
Mu Yuan hid in the corner outside the laboratory, making sure that no one was around, and then lowered her voice: "The tie can't be washed clean, buy yourself another one."
She wants to fool people.
But Huo Min is not a fool.
Even the microphone couldn't suppress the sinister tone in his voice: "A white shirt can be washed, but a dark tie can't?"
Mu Yuan pursed his lips and played dumb: "I don't know why, but the dry cleaner said there were stains and they couldn't be cleaned, so I asked them to throw it away. You might as well buy a new one."
"Mu Yuan."
Hearing his name being called in such a stern voice, Mu Yuan stood up straight unconsciously.
I could hear his anger even through the phone.
"You said you wouldn't lie to me again." He spoke each word slowly.
Mu Yuan paused, unable to utter the words he had prepared.
Her heart felt like it was stuffed with a ball of cotton, numb and uncomfortable, blocking her restraint: "But you also lied to me."
The rough breathing sound at the other end was amplified little by little in the silent environment.
Mu Yuan regretted it the moment he finished speaking. Why did it sound so aggrieved?
She shouldn't feel aggrieved, she should feel angry because she felt cheated.
But from his heavy breathing, I couldn't help but wonder, is he so angry if I took his tie away?
"Ding ding ding." The phone was hung up.
Mu Yuan quickly took the phone away from her ear, and the screen showed a cold message: Call disconnected.
She held her cell phone, her thoughts in a tangled mess.
A mess.
Back to the lab.
Mu Yuan was absent-mindedly recording research data.
"Hey, Mu Gong."
She turned around blankly and met her colleague's cheerful smile.
"I haven't told you yet, but I'm back with my boyfriend, thanks to you."
Mu Yuan's cold face was filled with doubt: "Me?"
"Yes! Married people are really different. I gave him a tie as you suggested. My boyfriend asked me why I gave him a tie. I said I wanted to trap him. His face turned red for the first time and he kissed me on the street. It was a great opportunity to confess my love with the tie." My colleague recalled Namu on the street yesterday and his face turned red.
Different from the other person's shy and happy look.
Mu Yuan's almond-shaped eyes were stunned, and she subconsciously clenched the fountain pen in her hand, as if she wanted to break it.
"I want to give you a thank you gift. Just tell me what you want!"
Mu Yuan finally came back to his senses from his chaotic thoughts and forced a smile: "No need, as long as you two make up."
My colleague shrugged and said, "Then I'll buy you some milk tea. Anyway, I'll never lie to my boyfriend again. I was really scared. I didn't expect him to mind so much. But what I did was wrong. Two people should be honest with each other when they are together. A relationship with lies won't last long."
After she finished speaking, she unconsciously glanced at Mu Yuan, surprised: "Hey, Mu Gong, what's wrong with you? You look so pale?"
Is she pale?
She made an excuse: "I'm fine, then I'll continue recording the data."
The colleague glanced at her densely packed notebook and quickly made an 'OK' gesture. "Okay! Boss, I won't bother you anymore! Please continue! I'll order the sugar-free green milk tea you used to have, okay?"
Mu Yuan's mind was distracted: "Uh... I can do anything."
Complete the last set of experiments.
Mu Yuan's slender fingers cupped the back of her fair neck and gently pressed the sore spot. As she pressed, she walked out of the laboratory and headed towards the restroom.
"Mu Yuan?" A strange female voice called her from the side.
Mu Yuan turned around as the voice sounded.
She saw a plain-looking woman with a strange expression, holding a brown glass chemical bottle and staring at her.
Mu Yuan frowned, but the question "Who are you?" was still uttered.
Suddenly, the woman yelled fiercely, "Go to hell! You damned evildoer!"
He pointed the mouth of the glass bottle at her and splashed it hard.
Mu Yuan was startled and instinctively raised his arm to block.
But it was too late.
She clearly felt the unknown liquid getting on her face and eyes.
Almost immediately, a burning sensation emerged.
"Ah!" The pain and fear reached their peak.
At the same time, the body responds to stress: tinnitus.
Amidst the buzz, she could vaguely hear her colleagues' anxious shouts, a woman's triumphant laughter, and the shrill whistle of an ambulance.
Her emotions fluctuated violently and her vision went dark.
Lost in confusion.
-
Hospital.
Mu Yuan was woken up by the noise.
She opened her eyes in a daze and saw two colleagues standing beside the bed.
Seeing that she was awake, her colleagues were surprised: "She's awake!", "Mr. Mu, how do you feel?!"
Mu Yuan's voice was dry and hoarse: "Why are you here?"
She recalled the tingling sensation before she fell into coma, and her whole body froze.
What was splashed on her face...could it be sulfuric acid?
She subconsciously touched her face with trembling hands.
No potholes.
Seeing this, a colleague hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid. The police have already found out that the bottle of stuff is not sulfuric acid. What the crazy woman threw at you was fly poison. It won't disfigure you!"
Another colleague added: "It's said that the woman originally wanted to buy sulfuric acid, but by mistake, she was deceived by an unscrupulous merchant and ended up buying fly poison instead, which caused her eyes to hurt. Now it seems that the merchant was not unscrupulous, but had a lot of conscience."
Mu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
When I think about that horrific scene in the afternoon, I still feel scared.
She suppressed her inner turmoil and asked, "Who is that woman?"
She didn't know the other person at all and didn't know why he wanted to hurt her.
The two colleagues looked at each other, and then said, "It's Chen Zhoufeng's wife..."
"I heard that Chen Zhoufeng is the sole breadwinner of his family. His wife doesn't work and has no source of income. They have four elderly people and two children to support. He was arrested for financial crimes and all his money was frozen. As a result, their mortgage and car loans have all been suspended. So his wife blames you for everything, and that's why she has evil intentions and wants to harm you."
"Really? You've brought this upon yourself, and yet you're blaming others. It's true that two different people can sleep in the same bed!"
Mu Yuan's heart sank, and all his doubts were resolved.
No wonder, but she really didn't expect that Chen Zhoufeng's incident would have any aftereffects.
She glanced at the completely dark sky outside and said in a clear voice: "Thank you for your hard work in guarding me. I'm fine now. You can go home quickly."
My colleague shook his head and said, "The police will come over to take your statement later. We will accompany you. Otherwise, we are worried about you being alone."
Another colleague was about to agree when he suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Engineer Mu, the situation was urgent just now, and no one knows your husband's phone number, so no one can contact your family. Why don't you tell your husband about the situation and ask him to come and stay with you?"
Upon hearing this, Mu Yuan was stunned.
Meeting their expectant eyes, Mu Yuan swallowed hard and said, "He... is very busy."
My colleague was surprised: "But if something happened to you, he would have to come no matter how busy he is, right?"
Mu Yuan lowered her eyelashes to hide her panic: "I'm fine anyway, so I won't ask him to make a special trip."
I saw that my colleagues wanted to say something else.
Mu Yuan quickly interrupted: "Did the police say when they would come to take a statement?"
The colleague's attention was successfully diverted: "I just sent a message to the officer in charge of this case. It will probably take 20 minutes for him to arrive."
Mu Yuan: "Okay, I understand."
“Pah.”
The sudden sound of the door opening caused the three of them to turn their heads at the same time.
When I saw a figure that shouldn't be here, but appeared at the door of the ward.
Mu Yuan's eyes froze, and waves of shock surged in his chest.
