"Let's stop here today, retreat." Shu Jin waved to the soldiers.
"Yes." The soldiers spontaneously went to help their companions hold down several strong men who were tied to the ground like big dumplings.
Shu Jin looked at these people, his face gloomy as he lowered his head and asked Qu Lingyuan, "What's going on?"
"They...they said they were asked by someone to...torture me." Qu Lingyuan's voice was trembling as she spoke.
"Do you know who it is?" Shu Jin put the gun back on his waist and hugged her with both hands.
It’s obvious that it’s Chu Xiaoer.
Qu Lingyuan really wanted to tell the truth, but she had no evidence now. If she was bitten back and accused of slander, it would be even more disadvantageous. She shook her head.
The law at that time was not perfect, and it was difficult to convict these people before they had time to do anything. Shu Jin had no choice but to have them taken away for interrogation.
"I'll send you back," Shu Jin sighed softly, "You cause trouble for me every day."
Qu Lingyuan puffed her cheeks angrily and didn't look at him.
Who is causing all this trouble? If it weren't for the male protagonist being such a natural troublemaker, would she be targeted by the female supporting characters every day in every world?
Back at the theater, Shu Jin put her on the bed and grabbed her white and tender ankles. Qu Lingyuan supported her feet with her hands behind her back and lifted them lazily.
It's hard to tell who is the boss.
The swelling of the ankle has reduced a lot, and the skin still has the color of the medicine, which seems to indicate that the medicine has been applied diligently.
Uncle Jin was satisfied. He looked at her expressionlessly and said, "Rest. I'm leaving now."
"Okay~" Qu Lingyuan waved happily and sent him away. She stared at the door for a while, then got out of bed and locked the door.
If she doesn't lock the door, she's a dog.
Thinking of what Shu Jin had said in the dilapidated temple, Qu Lingyuan lay on the bed in a daze and muttered, "That poisonous dragon seems to be very difficult to catch."
"It's difficult." Yiling sat on her pillow and watched her gradually close her eyes and fall asleep.
Yi Ling didn't need to sleep, so he just sat in the dark every day watching her...
——
After finally recovering from his foot injury, Qu Lingyuan's birthday is approaching.
It was called her birthday, but it was actually the day Qu Yuanxiang picked her up. Qu Yuanxiang would celebrate her birthday at this time every year, and this year was no exception.
"Ling Yuan, what are your thoughts on your birthday this year?" Qu Yuanxiang sat on a chair, holding a cigarette but not smoking.
Looking at his kind smile, Qu Lingyuan leaned on her cheek and thought for a moment before saying calmly, "This year, let's sing an opera."
Qu Yuanxiang was a little surprised, but he had no objection.
On Qu Lingyuan's birthday, the theater performed her plays all afternoon, and admission was free all day.
Before going on stage, she looked at the huge crowd below and said in amazement, "Will the poisonous dragon come?"
"He's here," Yi Ling replied affirmatively, "He's on the far right side of the second row of tables."
Qu Lingyuan glanced in surprise at the handsome young man sitting in the second row of the audience. He looked well-dressed. A gangster boss?
As expected, he was just a minor supporting role. Yiling recognized him so easily.
Smiling, she suddenly thought of something fun and walked onto the stage.
During the entire afternoon performance, she had been secretly observing Du Long's expression.
Like many men, the obsession in his eyes was not concealed at all, and he laid it all out for Qu Lingyuan to see. When it was over, he stared at her back and was reluctant to leave.
That makes it easy.
Qu Lingyuan called over an inconspicuous junior sister.
"Please do me a favor and ask the person sitting on the far right of the second row to come to the second floor." She said softly.
The junior sister was stunned for a moment: "Ah, okay."
Why would Senior Sister suddenly want to meet a man? She walked towards the crowd curiously and whispered in Du Long's ear, "My Senior Sister Qu Lingyuan wants to invite you to the second floor."
Dulong was overjoyed after hearing this: "Okay, I'll go right away."
Qu Lingyuan was sitting in the corridor on the second floor, leaning lazily on a chair, waiting for him to take the bait.
Perhaps because he was nervous, Dulong took a while to come up to her and walked to her side stiffly.
"Miss Qu, what do you want from me?" He smiled gently, not at all like a ruthless gangster boss.
Is this how men behave towards the person they like?
Qu Lingyuan's inquiring look was too obvious, making Dulong even more nervous.
"Pfft..." The beauty suddenly covered her lips and laughed, "No need to be so reserved, sit down."
"Oh, okay." Dulong sat down on the chair opposite her in a daze.
"I just think you are very handsome and want to chat with you." She said lightly, moving closer, her beautiful eyes shining as she stared into the poisonous dragon's eyes.
[The next transaction location will be a dilapidated temple in the suburbs]
What a pity she is a scorpion beauty~
She giggled and saw that Dulong was confused for a moment after being hinted at.
Shu Jin, who was sitting on the roof, had a terrifying curve at the corner of his mouth.
She said she never flirted, so what was she doing today? Had she finally met someone she liked?
Shu Jin was holding a hairpin in his hand. The nude pink crystal reflected the light in the sunlight. When he first saw it, he thought it was very suitable for Qu Lingyuan's face, but now he just felt it was dazzling.
He put the hairpin back into his pocket in annoyance, turned over and left the roof, and returned to Shu's house.
Qu Lingyuan had already given the hint and didn't talk much, sending Dulong away with just a few words.
After a busy afternoon, she felt her throat was sore and went back to her room and fell asleep.
I had planned to tell Shujin the location of the Poison Dragon transaction the next time I saw him, but I hadn't seen him for several days.
Are you so busy?
Qu Lingyuan called Yi Ling and asked, "Where is Shujin?"
"Right at home." Yi Ling didn't bother to check this time.
You are so free, why don’t you come and see her?
Qu Lingyuan changed her clothes unhappily. Since Shu Jin refused to come, she had no choice but to go to him herself.
After arriving at Shu's house, she went to visit Lin Shuangxue first.
"Grandma, I haven't been here for a long time." Her pretty face was smiling, which made Lin Shuangxue happy.
I had planned to leave Lin Shuangxue before going to find Shujin, but before I could even say a few words, he came over by himself.
Seeing Qu Lingyuan sitting in the room, Shu Jin's expression immediately changed: "Why are you here?"
Everyone can hear the disdain in his tone.
Lin Shuangxue was dissatisfied and scolded him, "Why are you so angry?"
Shujin didn't say anything.
Whenever he thought of the day she spoke to another man, he wanted to sew this woman's mouth shut so that she would never be able to speak again in her life.
It turns out that women are no good. Chu Xiaoer is just pretending, and this one is hiding her true intentions very well.
Qu Lingyuan was invited by Lin Shuangxue to stay for lunch, and Shu Jin was also forced to stay.
However, the atmosphere at the dinner table was always heavy. Shu Jin had a cold face and refused to speak, which made Qu Lingyuan confused.
It seemed like she hadn't done anything to offend this gentleman, right? Why did she act like she owed him millions after not seeing him for a few days?
After dinner, Shu Jin was about to leave. Qu Lingyuan hurriedly said goodbye to Lin Shuangxue and followed him out.
