Chapter 39: Picking up the fleeing Qin Jiaojiao
"It's better to rely on yourself than on others. If you have the time, you can find out everything." Lu Shiman yawned and looked away from Liu Ning.
Ji Linshen didn't say anything, and there was a hint of amusement in his eyes when he looked at her.
Liu Ning really wanted to go up and tear her mouth apart, but she couldn't show her bad side in front of Ji Linshen.
She quietly exhaled a breath of foul air, and her eyes focused on Ji Linshen again: "Linshen, can you have dinner with me tonight?"
"I don't know anyone here, and it's really lonely to eat alone." She lowered her eyelashes, her tone gentle but with a hint of grievance.
Ji Linshen withdrew his gaze from Lu Shiman, and his cold eyes swept over Liu Ning lightly: "Miss Liu, there is no need to eat."
"Thank Mr. Liu for me. It's really thoughtful of you to send someone a special trip even though it can be mailed." Ji Linshen said with a smile, but his eyes were extremely cold, and even the smile became gloomy.
Liu Ning felt a chill on his back, pursed his lips tightly, and felt a little bit of retreat in his heart.
"Miss Liu, do you have anything else to say?" Ji Lin glared at her, already dissatisfied with her attitude of refusing to leave.
Before leaving, Liu Ning glared at Lu Shiman fiercely with a vicious look in his eyes.
Lu Shiman blinked and coughed twice.
"Drink some water." Ji Linshen said indifferently without even raising his head.
These two words are the two words Lu Shiman has heard the most in the past week.
Anytime and anywhere, she could hear Ji Linshen saying "drink water", which caused her to dream about drinking water all the time at night.
Hearing Ji Linshen's voice, Lu Shiman reflexively picked up the water cup and took two sips.
"I have to go out for something this afternoon and can't take you with me. Just stay in the office and read the documents." Ji Linshen stood up and walked in front of Lu Shiman, lowering his voice: "Don't run away secretly~"
Lu Shiman leaned back and put some distance between herself and Ji Linshen. Even though this had happened so many times, she was still not used to the sudden closeness.
Her evasive action made Ji Linshen somewhat dissatisfied. He gently pinched her chin and moved closer: "Did you hear it?"
Lu Shiman nodded mechanically. She didn't know if it was her illusion. After she fell ill, Ji Linshen's desire to control her seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, with a possessiveness that was close to pathological.
"Good boy." Ji Linshen rubbed her head, very satisfied with her well-behaved behavior.
"Ji Linshen." Lu Shiman suddenly spoke.
"Um?"
"I feel like the dog you raised." Lu Shiman really felt this way, especially when he touched his head with a sigh, just like when she touched the dog in the pet shop before.
I can't say they are very similar, I can only say they are exactly the same.
The straightforward words made Ji Linshen pause in stroking her hair, then he let go of her hand and stood up straight: "It's not a dog."
"No, I thought you were watching me so closely..." Lu Shiman paused, "Are you afraid that I'd go out and pick up something to eat and get poisoned?"
"Actually, you don't have to do this. I'm a human being and I won't pick up random things to eat outside."
These two sentences made Ji Lin fall into silence. It seemed that he could never keep up with Lu Shiman's train of thought.
After a long time...
"I'm not afraid that you'll pick up things to eat." Ji Linshen said in a deep voice.
Lu Shiman pushed the scattered documents on the sofa aside, patted the seat next to him, and motioned Ji Linshen to sit down.
Ji Linshen stood there, his eyes fixed on her, with no intention of sitting down.
Lu Shiman pursed his lips in dissatisfaction, and took back the documents he had pushed away: "Sit down if you want, or not. If you don't want to sit down, forget it."
Ji Linshen was amused by her childish look and pinched her face with his slender knuckles: "I'm leaving. I'll ask my assistant to send lunch to the office. Don't run around."
After watching Ji Linshen leave and making sure he was far away, Lu Shiman threw away the documents and immediately sent a message to Qin Jiaojiao.
Lu Shiman: [Is it a good time to take action today?]
Qin Jiaojiao: [Yi, that idiot Huo is out, and my leg is almost healed.]
Lu Shiman: [Ok, I'll leave right away and rescue you today.]
After putting away her phone, she didn't stay in Ji Linshen's office for long. After the assistant delivered the meal, she left immediately.
Stop yourself from running around?
She is not a pet kept in captivity. Shouldn't she behave herself well just because her owner tells her to?
Tsk~
Who cares about him!
After taking the elevator down to the underground parking lot, Lu Shiman took another ordinary elevator to the first floor and left in a hurry.
I called the driver at home and asked him to send the car over, and then I randomly found a restaurant near the building.
While we were eating, the car arrived.
I took the car from the driver, found a store, bought a portable ladder and put it in the trunk.
According to the location sent by Qin Jiaojiao, Lu Shiman drove the navigation system all the way.
She parked the car on a small road some distance away from the villa, turned off the engine, and called Qin Jiaojiao.
"Are you out yet? I'm already here."
Qin Jiaojiao lowered her voice: "Right away, that idiot Huo hasn't left yet, wait for me."
Lu Shiman hung up the phone and waited boredly in the car.
After sending daily greetings to his sick second and third brothers, Lu Shiman yawned and stared at the gate of the detached villa.
After about ten minutes, the gate slowly opened, a black car slowly drove out, and then the gate slowly closed again.
It seemed that he had left. She started the car, drove it forward a little, and stopped at a safe distance where it would not attract attention.
After the car completely disappeared from sight, Lu Shiman got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out the ladder from it, and moved it to the west wall of the villa.
Lu Shiman: [In place.]
Qin Jiaojiao: [Wait.]
After Qin Jiaojiao sent the message, she cautiously stuck her head out and looked around. Not seeing any servants or bodyguards, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She had already changed into the cleaning clothes she had stolen from the servant's room yesterday. She took a rag, pretended to wipe here and there, and sneaked out of the villa.
In the garden, someone was mowing the lawn. Qin Jiaojiao covered her face with a rag and moved towards the west wall.
The west side just blocked the view of the front yard, so she dragged the gardening table next to it over, stepped on it and coughed lightly.
When Lu Shiman heard the sound, he immediately stepped onto the ladder, half of his body exposed on the wall: "Is it OK?"
Qin Jiaojiao nodded, jumped up and grabbed the wall. Lu Shiman immediately grabbed her arm and pulled her up hard.
After she climbed up the wall, Lu Shiman carefully walked down the ladder, and Qin Jiaojiao followed closely behind.
"Run, hurry up." Qin Jiaojiao jumped down from the ladder and pulled Lu Shiman to run.
"Wait, the tools used in the crime." Lu Shiman looked back at the ladder that had only been used once.
"Oh, no, it's just a broken ladder." Qin Jiaojiao didn't care.
After more than ten days, she finally smelled the air of freedom.
"I have to take it, just in case next time..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, there won't be a next time."
The two of them ran back to the car, and before Lu Shiman could even catch his breath, he was urged to leave quickly.
Qin Jiaojiao's tense mood finally relaxed until the car drove out of the villa.
"Man, do you know how I have been through these ten days?" Qin Jiaojiao looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
"Did he beat you, scold you, or abuse you?"
"No."
"So he bullied you, humiliated you, and raped you?"
Qin Jiaojiao shook her head again: "No."
Lu Shiman: "Then you should be living pretty well."
"He's sick."
"How can you meet people nowadays if you are not sick?"
"He is seriously ill. He asks me to read Marxism to him in his study every day and uses me as background music for his work." Qin Jiaojiao felt her teeth itching when she thought of Huo Beiyan.
The first thing I asked her every day when I saw her was, "Do you agree to get married?"
After she said she disagreed, she was forcibly taken to the study.
When Huo Beiyan was working, she would hold a book on Marxism and read it to him.
No beating, no scolding, no torture, just let her do it.
Now, whenever she heard that name, she would have a conditioned reflex and feel like vomiting. She was tortured by Huo Beiyan.
"Where are you going?"
"You can't go to that villa of yours anymore. It's definitely not safe. Let's go somewhere else."
I remember you have a large flat in the east of the city, so let’s keep Zang Jiao there, dear.” Qin Jiaojiao pouted and acted coquettishly.
"Jiaojiao, I don't think this is a solution."
"I know. I don't dare go back home now, and I don't dare spend my money, but I really don't want to marry him."
"You know, he is a pervert, a very pervert. If I marry him today, I might be left dead in the wilderness tomorrow." Qin Jiaojiao overheard the conversation between her cousin and her parents.
She had heard some rumors about Huo Beiyan.
Marrying a pervert is not an option!
