Chapter 50 Stress Response
Because Song Li kept saying that she didn't want to go to the hospital, He Qian took her back to Ciyun Pavilion.
Song Li might have felt a little uncomfortable leaning back in the seat, and her head was dizzy from time to time. She changed her position, turned sideways, faced the car window, and huddled there.
He Qian sat closer and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Song Li couldn't answer, feeling increasingly cold. She changed her posture again, hunching over and sitting upright, slumping her head against the back of the driver's seat. Holding her head steady should make her feel less dizzy...
He Qian was a little impatient and was filled with anger at her deliberately distant behavior, but he still gently pulled her into his arms, pressing the back of her head with one hand and stroking her back with the other.
He noticed that she was shaking. The shaking wasn't very noticeable, but it was a worrying sign! He lowered his head and touched her forehead. It was cold and wet. Even in the dark inside the car, he could tell that her face was abnormally pale!
"Song Li!"
Song Li frowned when he heard the voice.
Seeing that she was still able to respond, He Qian turned on the light and saw that she had been covering her waist with her hands. He lifted the corner of her clothes and suddenly saw two purple bruises on the outside of her waist, one deep and one shallow!
He remembered that there was a thick whip on the floor when he rescued her just now. It was Lin Yu who attacked her!
"Song Li!"
"Um."
"Tell me, where are you injured?"
Song Li didn't answer.
"Song Li?" He Qian touched her cold forehead again.
"Um……"
"Zhang Ji, go to the hospital."
"Yes, Mr. He."
Song Li raised her weak hands and waved them, meaning she wasn't going to the hospital. She was just feeling dizzy and nauseous, and she didn't know if it was... the aftereffects of nearly having her throat slit. She hadn't felt anything when she was facing it, but when it was over and she calmed down, she realized she was actually scared to death!
He Qian didn't dare to check her body too closely, for fear that her discomfort would become more and more severe.
"Can you open the window?" Song Li's voice was as soft as a mosquito.
"Zhang Ji, open the window."
The window on Song Li's side was half-lowered, and the wind rushed in instantly, blowing away the feeling of almost suffocating her.
"Don't go to the hospital. I don't want to go to the hospital."
"Going to the hospital is just for a checkup, no injections or medication."
Zhang Ji listened to this and thought it sounded like he was coaxing a child.
"There's just a little blood on his neck and Lin Yu hit him twice on the waist. It's no big deal." Song Li thought, she couldn't delay him from accompanying Yu Qingqing.
He Qian felt relieved when he heard her voice become more normal.
Song Li came out of his arms, closed her eyes and leaned back in the chair, feeling the wind blowing in her face. "This is what's called a stress response. I was just thinking about how to confront Lin Yu. Just let me take it easy."
"What's your grudge against Lin Yu?"
"I'm sorry for getting Yu Qingqing into trouble again."
This kidnapping was clearly aimed at He Qian. Yu Qingqing was currently He Qian's woman, so it couldn't be blamed on Song Li. She should apologize first and admit her mistake. She couldn't let him find fault with her anymore...
At this time, the sky was beginning to turn pale. Song Li leaned there quietly, enjoying the breeze, and gradually fell asleep.
When He Qian brought her back to Ciyun Pavilion, she was still asleep. He changed her clothes and applied medicine to her wounds, but she still showed no signs of waking up.
Fortunately, her body temperature and complexion were normal, her breathing was even, and she slept soundly because she was too tired. Last night's social event was like a dangerous place, but she managed to hold on. Then she was kidnapped and almost died!
After all, she is a weak woman.
Song Li woke up. It was evening again. The setting sun shone into the house in a gentle twilight.
He Qian did not leave Ciyun Pavilion today. He was talking to Yang Xiao in the study at this time.
Yu Qingqing's new song release conference will be held next Monday. There has been no trace of the arranger Xu Keran in the United States. We only know that his family influence should not be underestimated, and that this person has some artistic quirks, low-key and gloomy.
All Yang Xiao could find out was that he was extremely wealthy, had a wife and a teenage son, often went on picnics and was often out of touch, but his musical achievements were still highly praised, and he had collaborated with many famous singers around the world.
According to past practice, Xu Keran would show up on the day the collaborative song was released, but he had never appeared in the three collaborations he had in China. The fourth time was with Yu Qingqing, and I didn't know if I could see him.
Instead of letting Yang Xiao be clueless abroad, it would be better to let him come back and focus on Yu Qingqing's press conference.
Yang Xiao scrolled through the information he had just received on his laptop, took a quick look at it, and then printed it out.
"Was it in 2012? Ten years ago?" Yang Xiao sorted out the printed information and handed it to He Qian. This was the information about Lu Linlin that he had just asked someone to collect.
He Qian checked the information and found out that Song Li, Lu Linlin and Lin Yu were in the same middle school. It was estimated that Lin Yu had been bullied by the two of them for a long time, and the resentment had been lingering on her mind.
The Lu family opened a small company and had a good financial situation. Lu Linlin and Song Li had been deskmates for six years and were inseparable. They were admitted to Yuan University together and had a deep relationship.
At the end of May 2012, the Lu family went bankrupt overnight. Lu Linlin's father was prosecuted and imprisoned, all his property was frozen, the house was sealed, and the situation at home was dire.
But Lu Linlin died in June ten years ago, a month after her family had an accident. It was a car accident. She was rushed to the hospital and died after two hours of emergency treatment...
He Qian looked at the information and felt it was somewhat familiar. Ten years ago? It was too long ago, and he couldn't remember it for a while.
Yang Xiao continued to delve into the information. "Lu Linlin also served as a guarantor for Song Li's younger brother and sister. Ten years ago, the same year the Lu family was in trouble, Song Youran and Song Nanshan wanted to study abroad in Vancouver, and the guarantee documents were signed by Lu Linlin."
With that said, He Qian instantly understood! Ten years ago, he first discovered that Song Li was planning to leave him, and Lu Linlin was the one who helped her!
At that time, Song Li wanted to send her younger brothers and sisters abroad first, and then bring her mother over, so that she could leave him without any worries!
So he checked Lu Linlin and her family's company, because Lu Linlin was the guarantor of their study abroad visa!
He wanted to stop Song Youran and Song Nanshan from going abroad, so he targeted the Lu family's economic background and was determined to make Lu Linlin's signature worthless!
He Qian took action against the Lu family's company. Small businesses were already vulnerable, and then her father was exposed to the scandal of embezzling public funds and large-scale bribery. These were things he had not expected, and he was later sentenced to prison.
What he didn't expect was that Lu Linlin died in a car accident the very next month after the Lu family went bankrupt!
"Why do you want to investigate this person?" Yang Xiao asked. He thought it was related to the matter at hand.
He Qian's thoughts drifted away. It was because he wanted to stop Song Li's plan that he attacked the Lu family, causing the Lu family to fall into trouble and Lu Linlin to die in an accident... Then, was he the indirect murderer of Lu Linlin?
That was Song Li’s best friend, and she didn’t even have a best friend anymore.
He Qian looked back and realized that he had never seen anyone close to her. Even though she worked with Zeng Xinyue every day, their relationship didn't seem very close. When she mentioned Lu Linlin last night, the light in her eyes was truly precious.
Is there no one else after Lu Linlin?
He Qian put down the information and rubbed his face with his hands. "Let's stop here with Lu Linlin's matter. Don't investigate further."
If he continued to investigate, he would not be able to bear it for Song Li.
"Is the data broken?"
"Break it."
Yang Xiao took the documents in front of him and walked towards the shredder.
"Find some people to follow Song Li... Or don't start looking again. My second uncle used to have a group of people following her 24 hours a day. Ask my second uncle to transfer those people over." He Qian didn't want the kidnapping incident like last night to happen again. Now, no matter how small the matter is, he doesn't want to miss it.
"Not only follow her, but also be responsible for her safety. Tell me where she goes and what she does immediately."
"clear!"
Liu Mingzhen's voice came from outside the door: "Hey, Li'er, you're awake!"
He Qian stood up and left the study.
"Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Liu Mingzhen was still talking to her, "Go put on your shoes first, change your clothes and get ready for dinner!"
Song Li had just finished taking a shower, but she didn't expect there was someone at home. She came out wrapped in a bath towel and was wiping her hair with a towel!
He Qian's eyes were instantly drawn to her. Her body from the collarbone to the hips was covered, and she had no makeup on, yet her skin was as white as cream. The movement of slightly tilting her head to wipe the ends of her hair added seven points of charm to her.
Her legs were straight and slender, with the entire base of her legs exposed. A few drops of water were still sliding down. The golden sunset light shone on her wet skin, making it sparkle, dazzling, and captivating.
A pair of exquisite insteps are white and tender, just like the finest mutton-fat jade, revealing light, laziness and sexiness.
Even though they had lived together for more than ten years, He Qian was still so amazed by this scene that his heart was numb...
Yang Xiao put away his computer and opened the study door. "Mr. He, I'll go first..."
He Qian reacted very quickly. He turned around and pushed him back into the room. He forbade him to look at Song Li dressed like that!
Yang Xiao was completely confused!
Song Li was petrified instantly. He had never expected so many people to be there! Who else was in his study besides Yang Xiao?
"Why are you standing there like an idiot?" He Qian glared at Song Li.
"Oh!" Song Li quickly ran back to the bedroom and closed the door.
