Chapter 85 Qiao Xuan is missing
Qiao Xuan suffered extensive burns all over his body and was admitted to the hospital.
Qiao Wanwan was taken away by the police.
Canadian police checked her identity and found that she was a wanted murderer in Jiangzhou City, so they immediately contacted the Jiangzhou police and prepared to extradite her back to China.
After Qu Ge finished taking the statement and came out of the police station, he immediately called Rong Zhoubai.
Although she was not injured, she was still frightened by what happened.
At this moment, she inexplicably wanted to hear Rong Zhoubai's voice.
It seemed that as long as he was there, she would feel at ease.
However, no one answered the call on the other end of the phone.
Qu Ge frowned and was about to hang up.
At this moment, a strange voice came from the receiver——
"Hello, Lucas is not available right now. What can I do for you?"
A woman's voice.
Gentle and charming, with a tone that asserts sovereignty.
Qu Ge stood there in a daze.
She couldn't open her mouth for a long time, her mind was blank, and she had no idea what to say.
The woman on the other end of the phone urged, "Hello? What do you want to talk to him about? I can pass it on for you, or I can have him call you back later."
"No, thanks."
Qu Ge spoke, his voice trembling unconsciously.
She hung up the phone in a hurry, fearing that her uncontrollable tone would reveal any flaws.
She clutched her phone, looking at the call log on the screen, her mind in a mess.
For some reason, the old news that Qiao Xian asked her to read tonight suddenly appeared in her mind.
Could the woman who answered the phone just now be Xuan Ni?
Are they together now?
Qu Ge looked at the time.
It's already 11:30 at night.
It’s so late, what is Rong Zhoubai doing with her?
When he went out in the afternoon, he clearly said he was going to take care of work.
So, he lied to her?
There is no doubt that what Qu Ge hates most is being deceived.
She had been deceived by Qiao Xian for three whole years. Now that she had finally started a new life, she didn't want any more lies in her life!
Qu Ge suddenly felt a sense of inexplicable loss.
But then she thought, what right did she have to blame Rong Zhoubai for lying to her?
They weren't even boyfriend and girlfriend.
And the model named Xuan Ni is his fiancée!
Strictly speaking, she was the third party who almost interfered with other people's feelings!
Thinking of this, Qu Ge had a hint of self-mockery on his lips.
She didn't contact Rong Zhoubai again and drove to the hospital.
…
Qiao Xian was burned while trying to save her.
It is reasonable for Qu Ge to come and see him.
But when she knocked on the door and walked into the ward, she found that the room was empty.
Qiao Xuan is missing.
Qu Ge quickly asked the nurse: "Where is the burned patient who was brought in tonight?"
"He's been discharged."
"Discharged?" Qu Ge asked in surprise, "He was so seriously injured, how come he was discharged so soon?"
"I don't know either. I heard from the doctor that his condition is very strange. His injuries had already started to heal before he was even sent to the hospital."
"You mean, his injury...healed on its own?"
"That's what the doctor said. I'm not sure about the specific situation, so you should go ask the doctor."
The nurse pointed Qu Ge in the direction of the doctor's office.
Qu Ge walked quickly and found that the office door was locked.
I could vaguely hear people talking inside the door, but I couldn't make out what they were saying.
Qu Ge stood at the door waiting patiently.
After a while, the door was opened.
She never expected that the person coming out was He Qing!
"Why are you here?!"
"Xiaoge? Why are you..."
They both cried out in surprise at the same time.
But He Qing reacted quickly.
"Are you here to see Qiao Xian?"
"Yes, I heard that he was discharged from the hospital. What happened?" Qu Ge asked hurriedly.
He Qing looked solemn.
He took Qu Ge to an empty terrace and asked the bodyguard to guard the door before he began to explain to her about XR-13.
After hearing this, Qu Ge was stunned.
"You're saying that you gave him XR-13, which wasn't even fully developed yet, so he has a genetic mutation now?"
"It can't be considered a genetic mutation, but his body has indeed undergone some changes." He Qing frowned. "Originally, I should have had his body examined after the 72-hour experiment. However, because Jasmine took him away first, I never found a chance to get close to him again."
"So, the reason you came to the hospital in person today is..."
"That's right. After I heard from the bodyguard what happened in the restaurant, I rushed here immediately. Unfortunately, I was still a step too late."
"You mean, he left before you came?"
"Yes." He Qing nodded. "I got his physical examination report from the doctor. The results show that his cell division and renewal rate is very abnormal. I plan to take these reports to the laboratory and have professionals study them."
"Then...if there is any result, can you tell me?"
"certainly."
Although they have known each other for several days, there is still an invisible wall between the father and daughter.
After all, a gap of more than 20 years cannot be filled by a few days of warmth.
When leaving the hospital, the two walked side by side, but always kept a perfect distance between them.
He Qing could clearly feel his daughter's resistance and alienation towards him.
He knew that he had no way to resolve her emotional issues in a short period of time, and he didn't dare to force her to be intimate with him.
He tried his best to put aside his high position and learn to get along with her like an ordinary father.
He asked her softly, "Qiao Wanwan has been arrested and will be sent back to Jiangzhou City soon. What are your plans next?"
"I want to go back to China too." Qu Ge said firmly, "This time, I want to see her put on trial with my own eyes. I absolutely cannot let her get away with it again!"
"Okay, then I'll go with you." He Qing said without hesitation.
Qu Ge was a little surprised to hear this.
She knew that He Qing had a different status and it was very inconvenient for him to travel.
He was holding the cane left by old man White in his hand, and Jasmine had been eyeing him covetously.
In addition, he publicly acknowledged Qu Ge's identity, causing Jasmine to lose face in public.
Jasmine now was like an enraged beast, and she might pounce on him and bite his throat at any time.
In this situation, if he went to Jiangzhou City without these comprehensive bodyguards, he would undoubtedly put himself in great danger...
"No, you can't go." Qu Ge frowned and said anxiously, "If something happens to you, no one will be able to deal with Jasmine."
When He Qing heard Qu Ge express his concern for him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He raised the corners of his mouth, unable to hide his smile: "Don't worry about me, I will arrange everything. The most important thing is that I must protect you."
As He Qing was speaking, Qu Ge suddenly noticed that the wrinkles between his brows were deeper than the last time they met, and there were a few glaring white hairs at his temples.
At this moment, the disgust that was blocking her chest inexplicably loosened a little.
Her hatred towards this irresponsible father no longer seemed so justified.
…
late at night.
He Qing sent a car to take Qu Ge back to Hanshan Villa.
Too many things happened tonight, and she had to tell Rong Zhoubai what Qiao Xuan said as soon as possible.
If Mr. White's death is really related to Jasmine, then they are now racing against time.
Otherwise, by the time she destroyed all the evidence, it would be too late.
Qu Ge was worried and walked quickly into the door.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw the light on in the bedroom on the second floor.
Rong Zhoubai is back?
She unconsciously quickened her pace and walked inside.
However, just as she was about to go upstairs, she ran into a slim woman coming down from the second floor.
The woman's superior height brought with it an innate sense of oppression. She was wearing a men's suit jacket that was obviously one size too large. One side of the loose jacket had slipped to her elbow, revealing the sexy burgundy low-cut suspender skirt underneath.
The slits in the skirt reveal the faint lines of long legs, making the formal suit suddenly have a more ambiguous atmosphere...
When their eyes met, the woman raised her hand and pulled up the collar of her suit jacket.
The seemingly casual action deliberately emphasizes the presence of the suit on his body.
Of course Qu Ge recognized it - it was Rong Zhoubai's clothes.
The tall and charming woman in front of her was none other than the famous international supermodel, Xuan Ni, who appeared in the news she had seen today!
Qu Ge stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether he should continue to go up.
She didn't even know if she had disturbed the romance and tenderness of their long-awaited reunion...
The air solidified.
But after a moment, a polite smile appeared on Xuan Ni's face.
She took the initiative to speak, breaking the deadlock between the two: "You must be Miss Zhi, right? Hello, I'm Xuan Ni, Lucas's fiancée."
Xuan Ni stretched out her hand, her demeanor as a hostess written all over her from head to toe.
Qu Ge shook hands with her stiffly, his mind in a mess.
At this time, Rong Zhubai heard the noise and came out of the room.
The collar of his bathrobe was slightly open, and there were drops of water on his collarbone that had not been wiped off.
The wet black hair was draped messily in front of the forehead, and the water droplets at the ends of the hair slid down along the jawline, soaking the fabric of the chest.
When he saw Qu Ge, he frowned obviously and a hint of panic flashed in his eyes.
The scene before him made Qu Ge's breathing stop.
Even the most obtuse person should understand what just happened...
"Sorry to bother you!"
She didn't have any time to think and immediately turned and left.
Seeing this, Rong Zhubai hurriedly explained: "Don't get me wrong, nothing happened just now!"
He said as he quickly caught up.
But as soon as he reached the door, he saw Qu Ge's car had already sped away.
"It seems that she is angry?"
Behind him, Xuan Ni followed slowly.
There was a fierce look between Rong Zhubai's brows.
"roll!"
"Don't let me see you again!"
