She struggled and writhed on the hospital bed, her face filled with terror, screaming, "Help! Is anyone there?!"
Finally, after she called for the fifth time, someone pushed the door open and came in.
The lead doctor glanced at Qin Mingyue, who was still struggling violently, and turned to the nurse behind him, instructing, "The patient is too emotional; give her a sedative injection."
Qin Mingyue caught the word "patient" in his voice, her brows furrowed with disbelief, and she exclaimed with wide eyes, "I'm not sick at all! Let me go! I want to get out of here! You're breaking the law!"
The doctor, with his hands in the pockets of his white coat and a cold glint in his glasses, said in a low voice, "Mental patients all think they're not sick."
Qin Mingyue's face turned deathly pale, her mind was buzzing, and she simply couldn't believe what she was hearing. Who would want to harm her like this!
"You're talking nonsense! Let me go! This is illegal detention!"
The doctor seemed to have little patience to continue talking to her. He gave a brief instruction to the two nurses behind him and left the ward.
"What are you doing?!" Qin Mingyue looked at the nurse standing in front of the cart, drawing medicine with a syringe, with a look of horror.
The two nurses looked indifferent and ignored her.
One of them stepped forward and held her down as she kept moving around, while the other bent down and inserted the syringe into her arm, then slowly pushed the medicine in.
Qin Mingyue, who was still screaming and struggling, gradually felt powerless. A tear seemed to slide down her cheek, and she lost consciousness and fell into a deep sleep the next second.
The two nurses glanced at her expressionlessly, then packed their things and left the ward without looking back.
......
Meanwhile, at the hotel.
Just as Shi Miao finished showering and came out, her phone on the table rang with a "ding".
As she dried her hair with one hand, she walked to the table, picked up her phone, and looked at the message. It was from Cheng Si.
Shi Miao paused in her act of drying her hair as she looked at the photo on her phone screen, her expression one of surprise.
The two people tied together in the photo, one of whom was naturally an old acquaintance of hers.
She casually draped the towel over the chair and sent Cheng Si a question mark in response.
The next second, Cheng Si immediately sent her a video call.
Shi Miao turned around, leaned against the table, and pressed the answer button.
Cheng Si looked at the girl on his phone, his voice tinged with amusement, "Just finished showering?"
Shi Miao hummed in agreement and, without further ado, asked directly, "What's the deal with the photos?"
"You mean them?" Cheng Si turned his phone around, pointing it at Qin Chu and Song Ran, who were tied back to back.
The two men's heads hung limply, seemingly knocked unconscious by Cheng Si's blow.
He curled his lips into a smile and continued in a rather casual tone, "Just consider it me taking a break from my own boredom and doing you a favor by eliminating the potential danger."
"Thanks." Shi Miao's eyes flickered slightly. She hadn't expected Cheng Si to be so helpful, which saved her a lot of trouble. "Where are you? I'm coming over now."
Cheng Si turned the camera back to himself, raised an eyebrow slightly, and said casually, "Just a thank you? Shouldn't you have treated me to a meal or something?"
Shi Miao leaned lazily against the table, her voice casual and languid, her tone flat, "No problem, no big deal."
Cheng Si chuckled lightly, "Okay, it's settled then. I'll send you my location."
"By the way, only you are allowed to come~"
Shi Miao's lips twitched slightly, but she didn't refuse his request, since she had originally planned to go alone.
"knew."
She greeted Cheng Si and then hung up the video call.
Shi Miao glanced at the location sent by Cheng Si, her delicate eyebrows slightly raised, and she almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This means we've stormed right into their lair?
......
Ten minutes later.
Just as Shi Miao finished getting ready to leave, there were two knocks on the door.
She pulled up her baseball cap, put her phone in her pocket, and walked towards the door.
Shi Miao opened the door, looked up at the man standing in the doorway, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here? Didn't you see the message I just sent you?"
Ji Yanchen raised an eyebrow slightly. "Didn't bring your phone? What message?"
Shi Miao closed the door behind her, her clear, cold voice devoid of any impurities, "I need to go out for a bit."
Ji Yanchen looked at her, "Where are you going?"
Shi Miao raised his hand to press down the brim of his hat, his deep eyes both dark and clear, and said succinctly, "Go see Cheng Si, he arrested Qin Chu."
A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Yanchen's eyes. "Why did he arrest Qin Chu?"
Shi Miao thought for a moment and said, "He said he was bored?"
Although Ji Yanchen hadn't had much contact with Cheng Si, he had heard some things about him from Shi Miao and knew a bit about his personality, which was indeed something he could say.
"I'll go with you."
Shi Miao touched the tip of her nose. "He said I can only go alone."
Ji Yanchen didn't say anything more after hearing this, "Okay, call me if you need anything."
Shi Miao had her hands in her pockets, looking casual yet somewhat lazy. "Okay, let's go."
......
Half an hour later.
Shi Miao arrived at Ling Meng's lair without any hindrance.
She walked toward the office with the door wide open and saw Cheng Si leaning back in his leather chair, his long legs casually propped up on the desk, as if this were his home.
The two people tied to the ground had also woken up, but their faces looked extremely pale.
He clearly never expected to be so openly kidnapped on his own turf, and the worst part was that they couldn't do anything about it.
"You're taking way too long." Cheng Si looked up at the girl who walked in, put his legs down, and slowly stood up.
Upon hearing this, Qin Chu turned her head to look at the door, paused slightly, and looked surprised.
I originally thought it was Cheng Si's accomplice, but I didn't expect it to be Shi Miao. And judging from his tone, the two of them seemed to be very familiar with each other.
He seemed to understand everything instantly, his eyes blazing with anger as he gritted his teeth and said, "You hired him to do it?!"
Shi Miao stopped in front of Qin Chu, glanced down at him, and said in a rather indifferent tone, "Don't worry, even if he didn't do it, I'm prepared to do it."
Qin Chu's eyes flashed with malice. He hadn't expected to fall into Shi Miao's hands so unexpectedly twice without any warning. He smirked and asked, "What do you want with me this time?"
"Again?" Cheng Si plopped down on the desk, propped his chin on his hand, and looked at the girl standing diagonally opposite him. He asked with interest, "Have you done this kind of thing before?"
Shi Miao glanced at him, lifting her eyelids slightly, and said casually, "Hmm, I guess so."
"Then we really do have a tacit understanding, don't you think?"
Shi Miao ignored Cheng Si's words and turned her gaze back to Qin Chu. She took out the photo of the stillborn baby from her pocket and showed it to him, "Did you do it?"
