Chapter 341 He was wrong
Her eyes were filled with him, only him.
"I love you too, I love you so much." The girl's voice was so sweet it made your heart flutter.
She slowly released his neck.
Then, her fingertips unexpectedly poked his face.
Qi Mu was stunned for half a second. The deep affection in his eyes had not yet faded when this sudden little gesture melted his heartstrings.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, then lowered his eyes and chuckled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.
There's just no way to deal with her.
Ji Ran felt that her sneak attack had failed again, but she remembered it and would definitely poke it next time.
"Then... shall we go find He Yanchen's family now?" Ji Ran asked.
Qi Mu glanced at the sky, which was about to darken, and felt somewhat worried.
Although He Yanchen mentioned where he and his wife used to live, it couldn't be confirmed that she still lived there all these years.
The girl grasped his hand and said expectantly,
"I don't want to go back yet."
He reached out and pinched her cheek. "Okay, let's go take a look."
"Okay!" Ji Ran replied, then started the car and drove towards the next destination.
In the hospital room, Qin Wenzhou slowly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Yin Li immediately went over to him, "President Qin! You're awake? How are you feeling now?"
Qin Wenzhou frowned, seemingly because his head was throbbing with pain.
His eyes were blank, and he could only stare mechanically at the ceiling. His mind gradually began to process the information around him and he realized that he was now lying in a hospital.
Then, the image of the car accident gradually flashed through his mind. He felt no fear, no trembling, not even a twitch of his eyebrows.
Until, as if he had figured something out, his previously unfocused eyes suddenly dimmed for a moment, like a letter being gently blown away by the wind, its light fading considerably.
Even Yin Li could sense that the person on the hospital bed, even though their expression remained unchanged, suddenly felt a much lower and more intimidating atmosphere.
"Mr. Qin... I have already sent people to investigate the cause of the car accident, and I will definitely give you an explanation."
Qin Wenzhou closed his eyes. "No need."
His voice was very hoarse, yet as calm as a stagnant pool.
"Huh?" Yin Li thought she had misheard.
You almost lost your life, and you're just saying you won't use it?
Moreover, this matter is too strange. President Qin's car is regularly inspected, so it is impossible for such a serious problem to occur without any warning. Driver Lao Wu has been driving for President Qin for 10 years without any problems, so it cannot be due to his driving skills.
President Qin's car is always in the second position, with cars protecting it from both the front and the back. How could it be that only President Qin's car would plunge into the river?
The road surface is fine, and the vehicle maintenance is fine.
There are only two possibilities: either driver Lao Wu suddenly got tired of living and wanted to take his boss down with him, or someone tampered with the car.
We have to investigate.
"President Qin, you..." Yin Li wanted to persuade him further, but Qin Wenzhou interrupted her directly.
"Has Fu Luanyin's matter been resolved?"
Yin Li was taken aback, then replied, "Yes, it's been resolved. There's no risk to Lingyue Group in terms of public opinion now."
Upon hearing the name 'Lingyue', Qin Wenzhou's tightly closed eyes finally trembled slightly.
"Go out," Qin Wenzhou said.
"President Qin..." Yin Li wanted to refuse, but where could President Qin be without anyone right now?
"Get out." Qin Wenzhou's tone became much colder, causing Yin Li to tremble involuntarily.
He knew this was a sign of President Qin's anger, and dared not say another word.
"Yes."
With that, he respectfully left the room.
However, he still couldn't understand why President Qin wouldn't allow an investigation into the cause of the car accident, yet he was under so much pressure.
He then looked down and sent a message to Ji Ran.
"Professor Ji, President Qin is awake."
A short while later, I received a reply from the other party: 'Understood.'
Yin Li was puzzled. What did "I know" mean? Did it mean he would come or not?
After Yin Li left, Qin Wenzhou remained lying quietly on the bed.
But his tightly furrowed brows and the veins at the knuckles of his fingers betrayed his extreme inner forbearance.
A tear slid down the corner of her eye without warning or a sound and landed on the pillow.
why? ?
Has she really come to hate herself to that extent?
Has she truly lost all feeling for herself?
Even though she was pushed into the abyss by her own hands, she still couldn't bear to blame her in the slightest and could only swallow all the pain and bitterness herself.
But for the first time, he began to doubt whether he had made a mistake by choosing to ignore her disdain and disgust and cling to her side shamelessly.
If she hates her own existence so much, isn't seeing herself every day a form of torture for her?
He always thought that as long as he persisted, as long as they spent day and night together, and as long as he held onto his true feelings, one day he would make her remember the vows they had made to each other and the love they had expressed to each other...
But now the truth is like an ice pick piercing his heart.
She truly loathed him.
What does it mean that he stays by her side every day like this, unwilling to let go and impossible to get rid of?
It was probably like a stubborn plaster that she couldn't get rid of, an endless torment for her.
Every instance of his self-righteous tenderness, clinginess, and care, was it all just torture for her...?
He was wrong. He was wrong from beginning to end.
He was too greedy, too stubborn, clinging to her and refusing to let go.
Tears welled up again, one after another, soaking the pillow.
Ji Ran drove to an old residential building.
After replying to Yin Li's message, she felt much lighter instantly.
Looking up at the old building, I saw only a few windows lit up, dim and faint, scattered here and there, like a few eyes barely open in the dark.
"The light is on," Qi Mu said.
Ji Ran looked at him, and then followed his gaze to the balcony of the sixth-floor apartment where some potted plants were growing. A very weak, old light shone through the window inside the balcony.
"Let's go up then."
As Ji Ran spoke, he opened the car door and hugged the wooden box to his chest.
Qi Mu glanced at the box and nodded, "Mm."
The two walked up the old and narrow stairs. The cement steps were worn gray by time, and even the edges were rough. The handrails were also rusty.
I climbed to the 6th floor and arrived at the door of that apartment.
Ji Ran and Qi Mu exchanged a glance, then she took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
Not long after, a noise was heard, as if another door inside had been opened, and then that door opened.
A middle-aged woman with half-gray hair opened the door and saw a very beautiful girl standing there. She looked as if she had been greatly surprised.
"Is this...Professor Ji?"
Ji Ran was taken aback, not expecting that the other party actually knew him.
