Chapter 286 Jin Que's Madness
Shen Qingshu took out her phone to book a plane ticket.
After booking the tickets, she made two more phone calls to explain some work-related matters.
When she looked up again, she realized that the driver seemed to have taken the wrong route.
"Master, this road doesn't seem right?"
The driver didn't say anything.
Shen Qingshu immediately realized something was wrong and opened her ride-hailing app on her phone.
The displayed location is clearly opposite to the direction she is heading to the airport.
Just as she was about to call the police, a pungent smell suddenly filled the car.
Soon, Shen Qingshu fainted.
The driver looked at the unconscious woman in the back seat, took out his phone and dialed a number: "She's passed out, I'll bring her over right now."
...
"Ah Shu? Ah Shu!"
Shen Qingshu suddenly opened her eyes and saw Jin Que's anxious face in front of her.
She sat up abruptly and looked around.
Where is this?
“We’re at the hotel.” Jin Que’s voice was gentle. “You were almost taken away by bad guys. Luckily, I arrived in time, otherwise you might not even know where you’ve been taken.”
Shen Qingshu looked at him, doubting what he was saying.
But she also knew that she absolutely could not afford to break ties with Jin Que now.
"Did you call the police?" she asked.
“I called the police. The person who kidnapped you has been arrested. He was a repeat offender who specifically targeted single women. The police have detained him. Before you, several other women had already been victimized.”
Chen Qingshu's expression was solemn.
Recently, these inexplicable accidents have been happening frequently around her.
It all started when she suspected there was something wrong with that bag of hawthorn candy...
She looked at Jin Que in front of her.
He still had that gentle and refined appearance.
But Shen Qingshu's suspicions about him grew deeper and deeper.
She knew she had to leave Hangzhou as soon as possible and return to Beicheng. The first thing she would do was hire a professional bodyguard!
"Thank you for this time." Shen Qingshu looked at Jin Que with a sincere tone. "When we get back to Beicheng, I'll treat you to a meal when I have time, but I have to go back right now."
“You were unconscious for half the day, and you’ve already missed your flight,” Jin Que said. “You can stay here tonight, and we’ll go back to Beicheng together tomorrow morning. I’ll go with you to prevent you from having to go through something like today again.”
Shen Qingshu's back was tense.
"There's a very important meeting at Huanxing tomorrow, so I have to get back today."
Jin Que looked at Shen Qingshu. Although she tried to act normally, Jin Que could still see her nervousness.
"Ah Shu, are you on guard against me?"
“No.” Shen Qingshu smiled faintly. “I really have to rush back today.”
"There are no flights back to Beicheng today." Jin Que handed Shen Qingshu's phone to her. "You can check for yourself if you don't believe me."
Shen Qingshu took the phone and unlocked the screen.
It's already 8 PM.
There are definitely no tickets left.
Shen Qingshu booked the earliest flight for tomorrow, "I booked the 6 o'clock flight."
Jin Que raised an eyebrow. "Isn't it too early?"
"That meeting is very important, I have to go back."
Upon hearing this, Jin Que smiled faintly, "Ah Shu, I am a businessman now. I am the largest shareholder of MQ, and MQ will definitely develop into a leading enterprise in China within the next three years."
Shen Qingshu smiled slightly, "Then congratulations."
"Ah Shu, you know exactly what I mean."
Jin Que stared into her eyes, "The heights that Fu Siyan could reach before, I can also reach. You don't need to work so hard. Marry me, and I can give you everything that Fu Siyan could. Moreover, I will not let you suffer any grievances."
If Jin Que was somewhat reserved and restrained before, now he is completely open and undisguised, straightforward and direct. In fact, he no longer hides anything.
Shen Qingshu was very impatient with this.
She used to genuinely regard Jin Que as a benefactor, but later, as they became more familiar, she cherished him as a friend.
But she never imagined that Jin Que, who was so gentle and gentlemanly, had his own agenda when he approached her.
Even his superb medical skills could be turned into a weapon to harm people at any time.
Shen Qingshu felt disappointed, but even more so, she was afraid.
She didn't know how much more Jin Que was hiding.
Jin Que's unfathomable nature made her feel very uneasy!
How could she possibly believe the love and care he spoke of?
Jin Que then took out the engagement ring.
Under the light, the ring shone brightly.
Jin Que handed the ring to Shen Qingshu, "Ashu, promise me, give me a legitimate chance to protect you."
Shen Qingshu couldn't take it anymore.
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened them again. She looked at Jin Que with a helpless expression.
"Jin Que, at most we're just friends, there's no possibility of anything more."
"Why?" Jin Que looked at her, his gentle eyes filled with undisguised emotion. "A-Shu, we used to get along very well. If it weren't for the matter of the Fu family's inheritance rights, you would never have distanced yourself from me."
"Whether in the past or now, I've only ever considered you a friend." Shen Qingshu looked at him earnestly. "Jin Que, don't make things difficult for me. Our relationship has always been purely friendship."
"Friendship?" Jin Que said, "You used to trust me a lot, but now the way you look at me is clearly wary and scrutinizing. A-Shu, you could forgive Fu Siyan for hurting you like that, so why can't you forgive me?"
“There is no question of forgiveness between me and Fu Siyan. He is dead now. Why do you always compare yourself to him? In my eyes, neither you nor Fu Siyan are my choices.”
"You didn't choose me because I'm also a member of the Fu family?"
“It has nothing to do with this,” Shen Qingshu said. “People’s feelings cannot be determined in just a few words.”
"Feelings can be cultivated." Jin Que remained persistent: "As long as you're willing to give me a chance."
Shen Qingshu looked at him and emphasized again, "Jin Que, whether it's lovers, friends, or family, it all comes down to fate. Our fate is what it is, and you shouldn't force it anymore."
“These are all excuses.” Jin Que lowered his eyes. “You just can’t forget Fu Siyan.”
Shen Qingshu frowned, "Why do you always have to drag him into this?"
She felt that she no longer had such deep feelings for Fu Siyan.
Perhaps there are some regrets.
But this regret stemmed from the fact that she never imagined he would die so young, and never imagined that her two children would lose their father so young.
"Because you risked your life to give birth to a son and a daughter for him, Ah Shu, I am not as good as Fu Siyan, but I know that the reason you are so devoted to him is because he helped you when you were most helpless and confused. Your love for him is filtered through the lens of redemption, so you are deeply entangled in it."
Shen Qingshu felt that she no longer needed to say much to Jin Que.
Jin Que has now fallen into a stubborn state of self-perception.
However, Fu Siyan is now just a dead man. If using him as an excuse can dispel Jin Que's obsession with her, then she feels that she doesn't need to explain so much.
"Jin Que, I am very satisfied with my current life. I don't want to change for anyone, so please don't make things difficult for me."
"Why?" Jin Que looked up at Shen Qingshu. "Is it just because he's dead that I'll never be able to compare to him again?"
Shen Qingshu sighed, "Jin Que, you've helped me a lot. I don't want things to get too tense. Let's clear things up today, and if we meet again, let's be friends like before, okay?"
