Qiao Lubai said nothing, fastened her seat belt, and dialed a number. "Lu Da, it's me, Qiao Lubai. Mu Qiao has been found. She took the tree hole on Zuofeng Mountain. Yang Jing is cleaning up the mess. I checked and found that Xilan and Meizhu escaped. Please send someone to help. I will take Mu Qiao home first."
When Lu Feng heard that Mu Qiao had found and taken away the tree hole in Zuo Fengshan, he was very happy.
"Lu Bai, take Mu Qiao home and have a good rest. I will take care of the rest."
After the call ended, Qiao Lubai fastened his seat belt, started the car, and remained silent.
Mu Qiao looked at his angular profile and thought, "What happened to Deputy Captain Qiao? Why is he different from before?"
In her impression, Deputy Captain Qiao was very distant from her. Why did he become so strange after not seeing her for half a month? He wanted to hug her as soon as they met and even pulled her around. What made her most depressed was, "He actually said they were engaged?"
How could they, two people who have nothing to do with each other, be engaged? She seriously suspected that Deputy Captain Qiao was teasing her.
No, she had to curb this bad trend.
Mu Qiao thought for a moment and broke the silence in the car, "Deputy Captain Qiao, in Snow Wolf, leaders cannot tease their subordinates."
...
...
"You are not my subordinate now, and you are not my wife-to-be." Qiao Lu slammed on the brakes, stared at Mu Qiao who was looking surprised, and declared in a domineering and serious manner, "Mu Qiao, you can hate me and deny our engagement, but I, Qiao Lu Bai, have decided to marry you, and you can't deny it!"
"I don't hate you." Mu Qiao retorted loudly, "You can't force someone to marry you who has no feelings for you. Chief Snow Wolf won't allow it, my parents won't allow it, and I won't allow it either."
"I'm sorry, Chief Snow Wolf personally approved our marriage application, your father and my mother personally signed the marriage certificate, and you are already my, Qiao Lubai's, woman." Qiao Lubai suddenly felt that Mu Qiao was just arguing with him. Very well, he would accompany him to the end.
"How is this possible?" Mu Qiao's face turned pale. Why didn't she know anything that Qiao Lubai said?
Seeing Mu Qiao like this, Qiao Lubai became even more confused, and he suddenly changed the direction to return to the city.
"This is not the way home." Mu Qiao saw that the route had changed and asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
"Military hospital." Qiao Lubai stated the destination and then said nothing more.
Mu Qiao was curious, why did Qiao Lubai suddenly want to go to the military hospital? Was he injured?
It doesn't look like that. He should just be going to do some work.
As soon as he entered the military hospital, Mu Qiao was taken to the neurosurgery department by Qiao Lubai.
After a thorough examination by Doctor Liang, he came to the conclusion, "Lieutenant Colonel Mu has no problem with his brain, but..."
"Just what?" Qiao Lubai asked.
Doctor Liang spoke to Qiao Lubai alone, "Colonel Qiao, I suggest you take Lieutenant Colonel Mu to get a blood test."
Qiao Lubai was startled and asked the question in his mind: "Is there something wrong with her blood?"
Doctor Liang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "I just took Colonel Mu's pulse and felt that her pulse was unstable, sometimes high and sometimes low, like..."
Doctor Liang couldn't say for sure either, so he could only suggest that Qiao Lubai take Mu Qiao to the hematology department.
After drawing blood, Qiao Lubai stood by the window with a heavy heart, his handsome face looking frighteningly cold.
Mu Qiao watched him from the side, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
How come Deputy Captain Qiao has become so unreasonable after not seeing him for just half a month?
She said she was not sick, but he insisted on taking her to check her brain and even came to draw blood. It was strange, as if he wished she was sick.
Half an hour later, Doctor Wang from the Hematology Department brought Mu Qiao's test results.
Mu Qiao wanted to take a look, but was rejected by Doctor Wang.
Doctor Wang had a serious look on his face as he talked to Qiao Lubai alone.
"Colonel Qiao, the results are not good. Lieutenant Colonel Mu's blood sample tested positive. It seems that she has some memory controlled by a virus."
Doctor Wang's words shocked Qiao Lubai, "What kind of virus is it? Has it been found? Will it affect Mu Qiao's health?"
Doctor Wang shook his head. "It will take time to test this. However, the virus in Lieutenant Colonel Mu's body is not contagious, nor will it cause damage to other functions of her body. It will just make her forget some emotional memories."
"Forget some emotional memories?" Qiao Lubai recalled the way she looked at Mu Qiao when she met him in the tree hole. There was nothing but respect in her eyes.
On the way back, she kept denying their relationship, refused to admit that they were engaged, and even said that she didn't like him. All these signs indicated that Mu Qiao's emotional memory was controlled by the virus in her body.
"How long will the test take?" Qiao Lubai asked patiently. He looked calm on the surface, but his heart was actually in turmoil.
Because he already knew what was going on.
That damn Xilan couldn't get Mu Qiao's emotions himself, so he used the virus to control Mu Qiao's emotions. In doing so, he was demonstrating to him.
He swore that he would catch Xilan and bring him to justice within this year.
"This requires the establishment of a research team to conduct experiments to verify the virus. It is still uncertain how long it will take." Military Doctor Wang had never seen this kind of virus before, so he did not dare to jump to conclusion and could only wait.
On the way home, Qiao Lubai made a decision. He first contacted Mu Qiao's parents and got their permission before saying to Mu Qiao, "Your parents want me to take you back to the Qiao family."
Mu Qiao's eyes widened, "Impossible!"
"Mulan died in the snail noodle shop, and your parents may not want to see you." Qiao Lubai gave the reason.
Mu Qiao didn't think so: "Mulan is gone, and my parents need my company."
"Mu Qing has already taken leave to go home with them. If you go back, it will only make them more sad." Qiao Lubai told the truth, "On the night of the snail noodle shop explosion, someone called Mulan and said that you asked her to go to the snail noodle shop. Your mother was there when Mulan answered the phone. Now your mother thinks that you are the one who implicated Mulan."
Mu Qiao became anxious when he heard this, "Then I should go home and explain to my mother."
"Your parents said they would wait until we get married before going back." Qiao Lubai didn't want the Mu family to know that Mu Qiao was infected with the virus, so he used this as an excuse.
The Mu family had already lost a daughter and could not bear such a blow.
Mu Qiao was very wise and asked, "Deputy Captain Qiao, why do I feel like you are deliberately not letting me go home?"
"Yes, I did it on purpose." For Mu Qiao's family, Qiao Lubai didn't mind being the bad guy.
Mu Qiao was furious: "Qiao Lubai, you are just my boss, why don't you let me go home?"
"I'm still your fiancé!" Qiao Lubai suddenly stopped the car on the side of the road, unbuckled his seat belt, approached her, and caressed her lips in an ambiguous manner. His dark eyes were deep and sparkling with a sense of coldness. His tone was overbearing and unquestionable: "Mu Qiao, no matter whether you remember what happened between us or not, you can only be my, Qiao Lubai's, wife. From now on, you must stay by my side and never leave."
"I don't accept it..." Mu Qiao murmured. For some reason, he couldn't muster up enough energy.
"What did you say?" He stared at her with a frown.
