The next morning, at Renhe Hospital.
After a whole night of emergency treatment, Xie Xiaoai's vital signs finally stabilized.
The detective who had been guarding her all night was also exhausted. He found a seat in the corridor and fell into a deep sleep.
Ling Mo got up very early and asked Cui Geng for half a day off. Before dawn, he sat down by Xie Xiao'ai's bedside, who had been in a coma.
About half an hour later, Xie Xiaoai seemed to be awakened by a dull pain in her body. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked around warily.
"Awake? How are you feeling?"
Ling Mo yawned lazily, and seeing Xie Xiaoai slowly wake up, he casually pointed to the white porridge on the table, "Want to eat some first?"
"Are you Yunlong's daughter?"
Xie Xiaoai had secretly investigated Ling Yunlong's family members, and she recognized Ling Mo at a glance.
A hint of wariness flashed in her eyes, as if she regarded Ling Mo as a monstrous threat, and her nerves were taut.
"My name is Ling Mo."
Ling Mo did not want to admit that she was Ling Yunlong's daughter.
Whenever she thought of everything Ling Yunlong had done to Shi Ying, she felt an urge to tear him to pieces.
"Where is Yunlong?"
Xie Xiaoai pursed her lips and asked softly.
In truth, the human heart is truly unpredictable and uncontrollable.
When she first got together with Ling Yunlong, she was indeed only thinking about swindling his money.
After spending some time together, Ling Yunlong's gentleness and doting made her, who had lacked love since childhood, feel an unprecedented happiness.
It was Ling Yunlong's meticulous care and concern that made her fall deeply in love without realizing it, to the point that she couldn't extricate herself.
"To be honest, after seeing you lying in a pool of blood covered in wounds, he was so frightened that he ran away."
"He... escaped?"
Xie Xiaoai's breathing suddenly became rapid. She tried to struggle to get up, but because of the throbbing pain in her chest, she had to lie obediently on the hospital bed.
Ling Mo nodded, not intending to explain Ling Yunlong's despicable methods to Xie Xiaoai in detail when she was at her most vulnerable.
After a moment's hesitation, she cut to the chase and asked:
"What are your plans next?"
"My face is completely ruined, isn't it? For a woman like me who can't do anything and can only make a living by selling her body, once she's disfigured, her life is completely over."
Xie Xiaoai silently lowered her eyes, as if trying to hold back the tears welling up in them, and said casually and unhurriedly:
"Su Yu ruined the rest of my life with her own hands. I will fight her to the very end with all my might."
Have you thought about how to fight back against her?
"I will explain everything to the police and make her face the consequences of the law," Xie Xiaoai said with a firm and resolute gaze.
"Do you think your words can compete with the absolute power of a tycoon?" Ling Mo shook his head dismissively and said in a deep voice, "It's not a good idea to hurt yourself as much as the enemy. If you're willing to trust me, I can help you."
Xie Xiaoai had long known that Ling Mo and Su Yu did not have a good relationship.
She thought to herself, “The enemy of my enemy can easily become my ally.”
Furthermore, she now recalled that when she was on her deathbed, it was Ling Mo who secretly put something into her mouth, which slowly brought her back to consciousness.
That alone was enough to make her confide in Ling Mo.
After a long pause, she suddenly looked up at Ling Mo with particular seriousness and asked softly:
"Why help me? In fact, if I die at Su Yu's hands, it will be easier to confirm her guilt, won't it?"
"But the power of the conglomerate, the huge conglomerate behind Su Yu, is not something you can bring down with just your life. Besides, helping you is actually helping myself."
As Ling Mo spoke, he deftly unwrapped the bandages from her face and carefully applied the Snow Skin Scar Removal Cream to the horrific wound on her face that had just been stitched up.
"What's this?"
Xie Xiaoai felt a cool sensation on her cheek and asked in confusion.
"Snow Skin Scar Removal Cream. Remember to apply it consistently, and the scars on your face will be completely healed in less than a month," Ling Mo replied casually.
"Skin-Snowing Scar Removal Cream?!"
Xie Xiaoai stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Ling Mo, whose face was delicate yet still retained a hint of girlish innocence, and remained speechless for a long time.
"Don't be too happy yet. The reason I helped you wasn't without ulterior motives."
Ling Mo completely ignored Xie Xiaoai's surprise and said calmly, "I'll heal the wound on your face, and you'll have to do me a favor in return."
Although the Snow Skin Scar Removal Cream had disappeared from the market for many years, Xie Xiaoai was, for some reason, absolutely certain that what Ling Mo said could not possibly be false.
This time, she was very decisive and agreed without hesitation:
"I will do my utmost to help in any way I can."
"This is the antidote for the potent poison 'Old Man's Cry,' take it first." Having received Xie Xiao'ai's promise, Ling Mo immediately placed a pill to her lips.
Xie Xiaoai nodded, and to show her trust in Ling Mo, she swallowed the pill whole in one gulp.
Seeing this, Ling Mo nodded in satisfaction, and then said:
"Tonight, one of Su Yu's lovers, Jiang Fangshu, the director of Renhe Hospital, will likely come to clean up Su Yu's mess. He is very likely to use a potent poison like 'Old Lover's Cry' to kill you as quickly as possible. At that time, you must act as if you are suffering a fate worse than death until Jiang Fangshu completely dispels his doubts."
