Chapter 64: Awake? How do you feel?
He leaned back in his chair and looked at her leisurely.
"I have the surveillance footage of Xue Lin going to the bathroom and splashing water on Wu Yiran that day."
Gu Miaomiao took a bite of the cut steak and chewed it carefully.
"Okay, stop making fun of me."
"I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with this matter, so I don't need your help for now."
He Linji looked at her pretending to be calm, and the smile on his lips deepened.
He didn't say anything else, but slowly took out a black USB flash drive from the inside pocket of his suit and showed it to Gu Miaomiao.
"I've never lied to you."
Gu Miaomiao's pupils suddenly contracted, she put down her knife and fork, her tone full of shock.
"Really?"
"Where are you from?"
He Linji smiled with a hint of mystery.
"Don't worry about that. I have my own way."
Gu Miaomiao's eyes were fixed on the USB drive, and her mind was working rapidly.
She suddenly gave a wicked laugh, leaned forward, folded her hands on the table, and looked straight at He Linji.
"Xue Lin clearly said that day that the surveillance camera in the corridor was broken."
He Linji gently placed the USB drive on the table and pushed it in front of her.
"That's because she just joined the crew and doesn't know yet."
His voice was understated.
“There are far more cameras than just those few.”
Gu Miaomiao stretched out her slender fingers, picked up the USB flash drive from the table, and held it in her palm.
"Thank you."
He Linji's eyes were deep and there was a perfect smile at the corner of his lips.
"You're welcome."
After dinner.
He Linji took the initiative to speak.
"It's getting late, why don't I take you home."
Gu Miaomiao stood up, picked up her windbreaker, hooked the car keys with her fingertips, and swung them lightly in the air.
"No, I'll drive back by myself."
Return to the Jiang family.
As soon as Gu Miaomiao got off the car, Jiang Yanbai walked over with a cold face.
"Where have you been again?"
Gu Miaomiao didn't even look at him, and walked straight around the front of the car with a calm attitude.
The voice is light and airy.
"I went to see He Linji."
Jiang Yanbai's tall body froze in place, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.
When he spoke again, his cold anger was mixed with a bit of hoarse grievance.
"Didn't you say that you would take me with you every time you go to see him?"
"Why not this time?"
Gu Miaomiao stopped but didn't even turn her head, leaving him with only a slender and indifferent back.
"I forgot this time."
After saying that, she took a step and walked towards the brightly lit house.
"I'll take you with me next time."
He was not satisfied with this sentence!
Jiang Yanbai took a step forward and clamped his large, hot palm tightly around the back of Gu Miaomiao's fragile neck.
"You broke the rules of the game!"
His voice was filled with suppressed anger, and his hot breath fanned the shell of her ear.
"You deserve to be punished!"
Gu Miaomiao was forced to lower her head. Her slender neck was pinched by him so hard that it hurt, and her vision went dark.
Her voice came out hoarsely from her throat.
"Jiang Yanbai, can you please be reasonable?"
Reason? Jiang Yanbai snorted with a mocking sneer.
Paranoia was swirling in his dark eyes.
"You actually want to reason with me?"
He leaned close to her ear, his breath hot like a branding iron, but his voice was ice cold.
"In this villa, I am the truth."
Gu Miaomiao suddenly rushed forward and barely broke free from his restraints.
She didn't run anymore, but stood still, looking at him quietly with a pair of cold eyes.
Serious expression.
"Jiang Yanbai. Have you ever thought that you are really sick?"
Jiang Yan opened his thin lips slightly and approached her step by step.
"Gu Miaomiao."
"You can really say anything to escape my control now."
This time, she didn't back off, but instead retorted.
"If you're not sick, why are you behaving so abnormally?"
"Have you thought about that yourself?"
His face instantly turned pale, and the fire in his eyes burned even more fiercely.
"I haven't thought about it!"
He roared, took a step forward, and before she could scream, he grabbed her waist with his big hands, lifted her up, and slammed her against the entrance cabinet behind him!
There was a muffled bang.
Gu Miaomiao's back hurt from the collision and her vision went dark.
The man buried his face in the crook of her neck.
"Why did I become like this? Have you never thought about it?"
"When you hit me hard with a stick, a whip, or a slap!"
"Did you ever think that I would become like this today?!"
Gu Miaomiao was choked by him and could not breathe, and she squeezed out a few words with difficulty.
"What happened back then... I also had my own difficulties..."
"I've already been very gentle!"
"Otherwise, you would have died long ago!"
So, this is a gift?
All the humiliation he suffered and the hatred engraved in his bones, in her mouth, turned out to be mercy?
Jiang Yanbai's eyes were bloodshot, and his other hand directly grasped her neck.
"So, I should thank you?"
Gu Miaomiao's face instantly turned the color of liver. She scratched his arm weakly with her hands and let out a painful whimper from her throat.
"Mr. Jiang."
Mother Wang, who had been waiting with her head down, mustered up the courage to speak.
"Miss Gu...she seems to be in danger of her life."
Jiang Yanbai's body stiffened.
Looking down, the woman in his arms had her eyes closed. Her face, which always showed her stubbornness, was now as pale as paper.
The hand that was pinching her neck loosened instantly.
"Gu Miaomiao!"
He growled, his voice filled with panic that he himself hadn't noticed.
The woman fell down softly and was picked up by him in his arms.
"Gu Miaomiao! Wake up!"
However, Gu Miaomiao could not hear any sound at all.
After a long time, the pungent smell of disinfectant rushed into my nasal cavity.
Gu Miaomiao's eyelashes trembled and she slowly opened her eyes.
What caught my eye was the pure white ceiling of the hospital ward.
A cold gaze looked over at me from the side.
Jiang Yanbai sat on a chair beside the bed, his handsome face full of sinisterness.
"I've learned my lesson."
"Now you know how to use the trick of pretending to faint?"
Gu Miaomiao's throat was so dry and painful that she moved her lips and her voice was hoarse.
"I don't."
He almost killed her with his own hands, and now he turned around and accused her of pretending?
The Jiangyan ginkgo is really seriously ill.
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open and a middle-aged doctor in a white coat walked in.
"Awake? How do you feel?"
The doctor flipped through the report in his hand.
"The test results are out. There's nothing serious wrong with my body. I'm just a little short of oxygen. I just need to rest."
He paused, then looked up at the two of them with a somewhat accusing look in his eyes.
"It's just that you two young lovers nowadays are too ignorant of propriety."
When Gu Miaomiao heard this, her face flushed red and anger rushed to her head.
"He and I are not a couple!"
The doctor obviously didn't believe it and shook his head.
"Okay, I don't care what your relationship is."
"I just want to say one thing: next time, don't play such a dangerous game. Excessive pressure on the neck can easily cause asphyxial shock, which can be fatal."
After the doctor finished speaking, he turned and left the ward.
