It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Qin Yuheng returned to the suite after dealing with the so-called "urgent matters".
There was just the right amount of fatigue on his face, but his eyes were still gentle.
"Yunmeng, have you been waiting for a long time? Are you hungry? I'll ask someone to bring up some midnight snacks." He walked closer to Ning Yunmeng who was sitting on the sofa, and naturally wanted to hold her hand.
However, the moment his fingers were about to touch her, Ning Yunmeng suddenly pulled her hand back, her movements so fast that there was even a hint of panic.
Qin Yuheng's hand froze in mid-air, the gentle smile on his face froze slightly, and a very fast, imperceptible cold light flashed in his phoenix eyes.
He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, Yunmeng? Are you feeling unwell?"
He looked at her carefully and found that her face was extremely pale, her eyes were evasive, and her body seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Nothing... nothing." Ning Yunmeng lowered her head, avoiding his gaze. Her voice was forced to be calm, but it couldn't hide a slight trembling.
"I'm just... a little tired. Brother Yuheng, are you done?"
"Well, it's just a small matter, solved." Qin Yuheng sat down on the sofa opposite her, his posture relaxed, but his eyes were like invisible probes, carefully scanning every change in Ning Yunmeng's expression.
"You look very bad. Did you catch a cold in the afternoon? Or... are you worried about something?" His tone was gentle and there was a tone of persuasion in it.
Ning Yunmeng's heart was pounding, nearly bursting through her chest. She forced herself to look up and meet Qin Yuheng's seemingly concerned gaze.
She knew that her panic at the moment had aroused suspicion, and she had to calm him down immediately! That crazy plan would take time!
"Brother Yuheng..." She bit her lower lip, tears quickly filling her eyes, her voice filled with endless grievance and fear, "I... I received a strange MMS this afternoon..."
She took out her cell phone and unlocked it, but deliberately didn't open it immediately. She just clenched it tightly, her knuckles turned white, and her body shook even more violently, as if she had received a huge fright.
Qin Yuheng's eyes instantly sharpened, like a hawk locking onto its prey: "MMS? What MMS? Who sent it?"
He leaned forward slightly, his tone carrying a subtle hint of oppression.
"I... I don't know... It's an unfamiliar number..." Ning Yunmeng's tears finally fell. She turned the phone screen towards Qin Yuheng as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, her voice filled with tears.
"Look! It's...it's a synthesis, right? It must be Ning Xiwan! She hired someone to synthesize it! She wants to alienate us! She wants to harm me! Brother Yuheng! I'm so scared!"
On the phone screen, there was a photo of Qin Yuheng and Qin Yuzheng in the club's private room! The angle was ambiguous, and their eyes were obsessed!
Qin Yuheng's gaze fell on the photo, and time seemed to freeze for a second.
All the tenderness, concern, and fatigue on his handsome face disappeared in an instant like the tide! Instead, there was a heart-pounding, bottomless coldness and... violence.
The temperature in the room seemed to drop ten degrees. Ning Yunmeng was so frightened by his sudden change in expression that she shuddered and almost collapsed.
She had never seen Qin Yuheng like this before. In those beautiful phoenix eyes, there was an undisguised murderous intent and a kind of madness that was destructive to everything because of the most secret taboo that had been revealed.
He stood up suddenly, and his tall figure instantly enveloped Ning Yunmeng, bringing a huge sense of oppression.
He snatched the phone from Ning Yunmeng's hand, his fingers squeezing so hard that he almost broke the screen. He stared at the photo with a terrifyingly sinister look in his eyes.
A few seconds of dead silence seemed as long as a century. Ning Yunmeng held her breath, feeling that she would be crushed by this terrifying silence and murderous intent at any moment.
Finally, Qin Yuheng slowly raised his head, his gaze like an icy blade, sweeping across Ning Yunmeng's pale and frightened face inch by inch.
There was no expression on his face, and his voice was low and gentle, yet it carried a chill that could freeze the soul. Every word he spoke clearly struck Ning Yunmeng's heart:
"Who sent you the photo?"
Qin Yuheng's voice was low, but it was like a steel needle tempered with ice, piercing Ning Yunmeng's eardrums and chilling her soul to the bone. The air in the room seemed to be sucked dry, and the overwhelming pressure made her almost suffocate.
She had no doubt that if she answered carelessly, this man who had been gentle as water a second ago but was now like a Shura from hell would strangle her neck without hesitation.
"No... no one else!" Ning Yunmeng answered almost screaming, her body shaking like a leaf in the wind, tears pouring out, half of it was fear, and half of it was forced grievance.
"Only I...only I saw it! Brother Yuheng! This must be Ning Xiwan's conspiracy! She hates me, and she hates you for helping me! She just wants to use this dirty trick to destroy us!"
She clung to the life-saving straw of "Ning Xiwan's frame-up" and tried to divert Qin Yuheng's anger and attention.
Qin Yuheng's phoenix eyes, filled with violence and murderous intent, stared at her face, as if he was examining the truthfulness of her words, and as if he was measuring her value.
The gaze was icy cold, carrying an inhuman scrutiny that made Ning Yunmeng feel like a fish on a chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.
After a few seconds of suffocating silence, the brutality on Qin Yuheng's face slowly receded like the tide, but he did not return to his previous gentleness. Instead, he settled into a bottomless, heart-pounding calmness.
He loosened his fingers, which had nearly crushed the phone, but the photo on the screen was still glaringly bright. He casually dropped the phone onto the coffee table beside him. It made a soft "pop" sound, but it felt like a heavy hammer hitting Ning Yunmeng's heart.
