"Who...who?" an unsatisfied voice floated from the bedroom.

The voice was obviously his younger brother Qin Hao.

Cheng Ji looked around the living room and saw clothes scattered all over the floor.

Men's and women's, all mixed up in a mess, it's just an eyesore.

Two minutes later, Qin Hao walked out of the bedroom wrapped in a bath towel, muttering something.

"Who the hell doesn't have eyes and comes to me...Brother?"

As soon as he saw that it was Cheng Ji, he instantly became like an eggplant hit by frost, completely wilting.

"You...why are you here? You didn't even tell me."

He walked forward flatteringly with a smile on his face.

Although Cheng Ji is his father's adopted son and they are brothers, Cheng Ji is ruthless and cold-blooded, and Qin Hao cannot afford to offend him.

Cheng Ji glanced at him, took out his phone, clicked on the evidence that Li Yang had found that Qin Hao had betrayed the Cheng Group, and put it on the coffee table.

He turned his head and stared at Qin Hao coldly.

"You sold the medical patents that the group has been researching for three years to a competitor. Do you really think you can suppress the Cheng family and threaten my position?"

He then sneered disdainfully, "Do you think you can cover up everything by secretly winning over other shareholders?"

The two questions in succession frightened Qin Hao so much that his back went cold. His legs went weak and he knelt in front of him, shaking his head like a rattle.

"It wasn't me! I didn't want to do it either. They forced me to do it! They threatened me, saying that if I didn't steal the patent, they would expose all my previous activities. I was forced to do it!"

Cheng Ji didn't want to hear his explanation.

"Snap!" A sharp and piercing sound.

The red wine glass on the coffee table was smashed, and red liquid and glass fragments splashed everywhere.

The back of his own hand was also scratched and began to bleed.

Qin Hao was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, "Brother, let me go!"

Cheng Ji held the broken goblet in half, grabbed his left hand and placed it on the table.

The next second...

"ah!"

Qin Hao's miserable cries echoed throughout the entire floor.

The blood was completely mixed with the red wine, and the smell of rust mixed with the pungent smell of wine was disgusting.

......

Palace of Pluto.

Shangguan Qing, whose spiritual power was almost exhausted, was knocked unable to stand up after only two hits with the sticks. His breath was weak, and if he was hit again, his soul would probably be shattered.

The Black and White Impermanence glanced at Hades in tacit understanding, not knowing whether they should continue the execution.

Shangguan Qing should have been punished with ten sticks, but judging from her condition, I'm afraid that after she's been punished, the person in charge of the Netherworld should be replaced.

Suddenly, her chest felt tight, as if someone was grabbing her heart and she couldn't breathe.

What is going on?

This was the first time this happened to her.

Shangguan Qing remembered that Hades had said that the man she was looking for could summon her if he bleeds. Could it be that Cheng Ji was injured?

Why had she never sensed him before?

no!

She had to go and see if someone was dying again.

Shangguan Qing supported himself on the ground with his hands and stood up tremblingly. After finally standing still, he staggered back two steps.

"I broke the rules and I won't run away."

She said with a firm look in her eyes, "But I have to go find him now, and you can do whatever you want with him afterwards."

After saying this, before Hades could even speak, Shangguan Qing could not wait to turn into smoke and leave Hades' Palace.

Hades frowned, but he couldn't bear to part with his female disciple. He waved his hands and announced the end of the execution.

In a pretext, he said, "Considering that Shangguan Qing was trying to save people, even though he made mistakes, his essence was kind, so the rest will be forgiven. As a punishment, his spiritual power will be sealed and he will stay in the human world for the next month. May he be blessed."

Sealing off her spiritual powers meant that she could only act like a normal human.

She has been a ghost for a thousand years and is used to relying on spiritual power. Can she adapt to the life of a mortal?

Shangguan Qing transmitted the message through the air, and a loud and clear voice floated over, "Thank you, Master."

......

In the presidential suite of the hotel, Cheng Ji was giving Qin Hao a final warning.

"Go back and tell them this is what happens when you mess with the Cheng family."

He pulled out the broken wine glass and the man screamed again.

"You should stay abroad from now on and don't come back."

In an environment full of wolves, tigers and leopards, only if you are ruthless enough will others be afraid of your authority.

Qin Hao knelt on the ground, dragging his numb left hand, and nodded quickly, "Thank you, brother!"

"Cheng Ji! What did you do again?"

Shangguan Qing held onto the door frame, his body weak and powerless.

If she hadn't reached the hotel before the last bit of her spiritual power was sealed, she wouldn't even know where she was lying on the roadside now!

A strong smell of blood filled the room, and she couldn't help but frown.

Why is she here?

When Cheng Ji saw her suddenly appear, his heart skipped a beat in panic.

He hurried forward to help Shangguan Qing sit down. Qin Hao, who was standing next to him, endured the pain and looked at Cheng Ji in disbelief as he took care of a woman.

How could anyone be willing to get close to a living devil like him?

Shangguan Qing noticed that there were two bright red scratches on the back of Cheng Ji's hand, and his palm was also injured.

She grabbed his wrist fiercely, her expression serious.

"Why are you letting yourself bleed for no reason? Do you think I'm just joking about sacrificing half my life to save you?"

It was a waste of her spiritual energy to save him.

Shangguan Qing became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it, and his words were full of thorns.

"If I had known, I would have rather not saved you and let you die!"

Cheng Ji was stunned for a moment by her sudden scolding. His mind went blank and he could only hear the strong pounding of his heart.

He had been injured and bled before, and had been on the verge of death. He had experienced everything.

But only this time, he felt that someone really cared about him, not out of profit, but out of sincerity.

"I'll take you back to Cheng's house to rest first."

Shangguan Qing no longer had the energy to scold him. All of his spiritual energy was sealed, his eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he finally fainted.

After Cheng Ji carried her away, a charming woman wrapped in a bath towel came out of the bedroom and walked barefoot towards Qin Hao who was kneeling on the ground.

"Look at how miserable you are. Are you so afraid of him?"

The woman's voice was extremely charming, seducing like a fox.

Qin Hao stood up, his face no longer panicked. He raised his injured left hand, his back teeth clenched.

He looked fiercely at the door.

"What do you know? The wolf in sheep's clothing is the ultimate winner."

What's more, he seemed to have caught Cheng Ji's handle tonight, so it was not a loss.

Men will always find it difficult to resist beautiful women, as lust is a double-edged sword.

......

After leaving the hotel, Cheng Ji sped all the way to Cheng’s house.

On the way back, he had already notified Shen Ji to come to his house to see if Shangguan Qing was feeling unwell.

The normal half-hour driving time was shortened to just over ten or twenty minutes.

Cheng Ji picked up Shangguan Qing and got out of the car, frowned, and walked quickly upstairs.

When Uncle Yan saw this scene, he immediately arranged for the servants to prepare some medicinal porridge for the patient.

In the master bedroom, Cheng Ji carried Shangguan Qing to the bed, helped her take off her high heels, and covered her with a blanket.

Due to the lack of spiritual power for a long time, and the fact that his spine had been pulled out during the day and his body had not yet recovered, Shangguan Qing completely lost consciousness and fell into a sleep.

Not long after, Shen Ji arrived at Cheng's house with medical examination equipment.

He walked to the door and saw Cheng Ji standing by the bed with a worried look on his face, his hand stretched in the air, trying to tidy up the hair on her face, but he was hesitant to start.

This is the first time I've seen the living devil be so hesitant and cautious.

Shen Ji coughed awkwardly, "Ahem! I... am here."

Cheng Ji heard the voice, withdrew his hand, stood up and made room for Shen Ji.

"Come and check on her. She was so weak that she couldn't walk just now, and now she's fallen into a coma again."

Shen Ji walked forward, placed the equipment on the bedside table, and took out a stethoscope.

......

As time passed, Shen Ji's face became more and more gloomy, and even the room began to feel depressing.

Cheng Ji was furious when he saw his sad face.

"If you have any questions, just ask! Don't make such a sad face!"

What's more, he is a doctor.

Shen Ji put away his things, still frowning, with doubt in his eyes, "I..."

Could he say that he didn't hear Shangguan Qing's heartbeat at all?

Not even her pulse...

And her temperature was terribly low.

All these symptoms combined make her look like a dead person.

But she was alive and breathing.

"What? Shen Ji, if you can't be a good family doctor, just leave!"

Seeing that he was still distracted in such an urgent situation, Cheng Ji completely lost the last bit of his patience.

He seldom loses his temper, but now he can't help it.

Shen Ji was speechless, "She...should be fine, let her rest for a while."

Then he took the instrument and left the room absent-mindedly. After taking a few steps, he turned around and looked at the door.

He muttered, "Could it be that I am hallucinating because of the night clinic?"

Cheng Ji called a few maids to help Shangguan Qing change into pajamas and lit some sleep-inducing aromatherapy in the room.

People are prone to nightmares when they are weak, and aromatherapy can relieve nervous tension.

It was almost dawn when he turned off the lights and walked to the sofa next to him and lay down.

Outside the window.

The stars moved and the moonlight poured down overnight, until the sky turned red at dawn.

Shangguan Qing slowly opened his eyes and subconsciously touched his heart.

"really......"
