Chapter 46 Planning to Help Her
The top-floor sea view suite is neat and elegant, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the boundless sea view in the distance. The sea at night is dark and deep, as if the world has no end.
Zhu Wendong didn't think much about it and followed him into a room.
She sat in the cradle in front of the window, staring into the distance in a daze.
The owner of the suite was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly, she felt a chill on the side of her neck and subconsciously wanted to hide.
A man's deep voice sounded above his head.
"If you want to get better quickly, don't hide."
When Zhu Wendong came to his senses, he found an ice pack on the side of his neck.
The burning pain in the neck disappeared, replaced by a cold feeling that made people feel comfortable and relaxed.
On the ice pack was the man's slender, white hand. The bloodstains on the back of his hand were still there, but only a few traces remained, barely noticeable.
Looking up, the corners of the man's slightly upturned eyes were still scarlet, and the bloodstains on his eyebrows added to his devilish aura, making his cold and casual face even more wild.
The broken veil of hair hung in front of his brow, tough and unruly. The look in his eyes, cast on her, was indifferent and peaceful, yet it made people feel that there was something suppressed and hidden inside.
Zhu Wendong withdrew his gaze, pressed the ice pack on the side of his neck seemingly naturally, and whispered a thank you.
When her mind cleared up a little, she remembered Qi Yanxue's sudden appearance.
It's just too much of a coincidence.
Zhu Wendong pondered for a moment and asked, "Why are you there?"
Qi Yanxue leaned nonchalantly on the back of the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and suddenly said something in suspense.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
How can there be truth or lies in such a matter?
Zhu Wendong frowned at him and asked in confusion, "Can't I listen to both?"
"Zhu Wendong, you are quite greedy." Qi Yanxue's lips curled up, but there was no smile in his eyes, and the air around him was heavy.
There was still a hint of laziness when he pronounced her name.
How could this be considered greedy? Zhu Wendong was a little annoyed. He turned his head away and didn't look at him. He said sullenly, "Forget it."
The girl's long straight black hair was tied into a bun on the back of her head. Her head was round and full, extending downward, with a slender white swan neck, like a delicate and arrogant swan.
Only the glaring red mark on the neck was visible, broken and fragile.
At this moment, Qi Yanxue's bottom line could not last more than three seconds, and he compromised: "I can't tell you the truth or a lie."
Zhu Wendong then turned his head to look at him.
Qi Yanxue raised his lips and said casually, "Which one do you want to hear first?"
Zhu Wendong said without hesitation, "It's a lie."
Qi Yanxue looked calm and composed, and said slowly, "If I'm lying, I just happened to be passing by and didn't like the door so I wanted to kick it."
“…”
It couldn't be more fake.
Zhu Wendong asked again: "What about the truth?"
"Want to know?" Qi Yanxue asked in a servile tone, not answering the question, to keep her in suspense again.
Just when Zhu Wendong was about to say that he didn't want to listen anymore, he stretched out his hand and opened his palm, in which lay the same candy that he had eaten not long ago.
"I'll tell you when I eat it."
It wasn't an excessive condition, and Zhu Wendong really liked eating candy of this flavor.
Unable to resist the candy's suspicion, she got up from the cradle and walked to him, picked up the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper, and put it in her mouth.
The aroma of candy and milk melted away, along with the boredom in her heart that she herself had not even noticed.
Zhu Wendong raised his eyes and found that Qi Yanxue's sharp gaze was staring at him, so sharp that he could see the suppressed emotions in his eyes.
Only when Zhu Wendong got closer did he realize that Qi Yanxue had been serious about it.
She collected her thoughts and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much candy?"
It's like having a Doraemon pocket on my body. Just take it out, stretch it out, and a candy will appear.
Still her favorite flavor.
Zhu Wendong vaguely remembered that this brand of candy with this flavor had been discontinued a long time ago.
Originally, she was planning to stock up on a few boxes from Biesong, but after searching, she found out that it had been discontinued. It was like being suddenly told that the pancake shop at the campus gate had closed down. She felt regretful and frustrated.
The flavor that Qi Yanxue gave her had the same packaging as that brand, which was clearly discontinued. Where did he get it from?
Qi Yanxue saw her slightly furrowed brows and thoughtful expression, and knew what she was thinking.
He casually said, "I picked it up from the dining area on the first floor."
Zhu Wendong believed it and didn't ask any more questions. He also planned to go and get a big prize before getting on the cruise ship in two days.
Suddenly, there was a crisp knock on the door.
Qi Yanxue raised his foot to open the door.
Zhu Jianyi put on a serious face and said solemnly, "Don't worry, it's been resolved."
"I'll have someone watch him at the door. He won't leave for the next two days. Once we get to the shore, the police will come to the door. He'll be in jail for at least two to three years."
Zhu Jianyi had investigated clearly in advance and found out that this was not the first time this man had committed a crime. Although he had some background, it was still far inferior to that of the Zhu family.
It is easier to kill a racing driver who has only won some entry-level competition awards than to crush an ant.
If anyone wants to blame someone, blame himself for being obsessed with sex and daring to do something like drugging the Zhu family.
Fortunately, Qi Yanxue noticed it and checked the surveillance footage to find the person, otherwise if an accident really happened, Zhu Jianyi would not even dare to think about the consequences.
This kind of thing happened in the game she organized. Zhu Jianyi knew she was in the wrong. She glanced at the figure in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and said something a little unnatural.
"Hey, Zhu Wendong, do you want to sleep with me today?"
Zhu Wendong walked from the floor-to-ceiling window to her side, his expression so calm that he didn't seem like someone who had just experienced life and death.
"Need not."
Perhaps he felt that the rejection was too blunt, so he ended by saying, "I'm used to sleeping alone."
Zhu Jianyi didn't seem discouraged by the rejection. He glanced at the two of them and tactfully gave them some space. "That's fine, I'll be leaving first. You guys can chat slowly."
After saying that, she turned around and walked away gracefully.
Zhu Wendong felt that there was nothing much to talk about with Qi Yanxue, but today was all thanks to him. He glanced at the bloodstain at the end of his eyebrow and said sincerely.
"Remember to clean up the blood stains. I'm going back first."
"Wait a minute." Qi Yanxue stopped her.
He suddenly stretched out his clean hand and placed it on her forehead.
Zhu Wendong was stunned by his sudden action.
The back of his hand was bony and thin, almost as cold as the ice pack pressed against his neck, not like normal body temperature.
Qi Yanxue lowered his eyes, a solemn expression on his face, and asked with a frown, "No one was hit?"
I didn't understand the implication at first.
Zhu Wendong pondered for a moment, guessing that he might be asking whether he had drunk the glass of drugged water, and explained.
"He poured the entire glass of drugged water onto the floor. I didn't drink it."
To put it simply, not all of it fell to the ground. The last bit was poured by her to the racer to drink.
But Qi Yanxue brought her to his suite to observe whether she had taken the medicine?
If she drank it and he brought her in, did Qi Yanxue intend to sacrifice himself to help her?
"..." Zhu Wendong raised his head and blinked: "What are you going to do——"
As soon as I opened my mouth to speak, he interrupted me.
"It's okay, let's go." Qi Yanxue took back his hand from her forehead, put it in his black trouser pocket, and raised his chin towards her.
As if hiding something.
-
After Zhu Wendong returned to the room, he stood in front of the mirror and put the ice pack on his neck aside.
The neck was exposed in the bright light.
The fair skin was turned red by the ice, but it covered up the originally glaring pinch marks.
A few strands of hair were stuck to her face, and her bun was loose.
All in all, it looks pretty messy.
Zhu Wendong simply pulled out the hair tie, and her long straight black hair fell on both sides like a waterfall.
Only then did Zhu Wendong remember.
Qi Yanxue seemed to have not told her yet——
His true words.
