But the longer the time passed, the harder it was for him to let go. This woman was indeed too enticing, it became an addiction for him. Today, he had hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to propose marriage.
"No! It really won’t work..." Bai Oulan kept shaking her head, her head low, unable to meet the man’s eyes.
The man grew furious. "It’s just because you can’t let go of being Meng Fan’s fiancée, even using his death to your advantage. Look at yourself—what are you really worth? Consider it an honor that I even fancy you."
"Don’t talk about me either!" Bai Oulan, feeling indignant, widened her eyes and retorted, "What are you worth? Are you really a good person? Who would have thought that right after Meng Fan’s death, you could sleep with his fiancée?"
"You... are simply being unreasonable."
Inside the room, the two argued incessantly while Qin Yue, standing outside the window, listened with utter boredom.
He held a spy camera, casually took a few pictures, and then leaned nonchalantly against the railing. He was glad it was he who came tonight since he was less principled.
If it had been the Living Yama here, he might have shot this shameless couple on the spot.
Every one of them was no good, damn it.
He wondered how the Living Yama had managed to restrain himself when he encountered them.
The dispute inside began to shift tone, and soon ambiguous sounds emerged.
Qin Yue involuntarily pursed his lips, aimed an imaginary gun at the room, and then jumped directly from the second floor.
He made his way to the Main Hospital and had just reached the small garden of the inpatient department when he smelled the familiar scent of smoke.
"This way!" Xu Qigang waved his hand, and Qin Yue walked over in a few steps and punched him.
"You bastard, why didn’t you tell me it was him?" He had thought to beat this wild man to death, but... but it turned out to be him. That was a huge shock for Qin Yue.
He was the type who laughed uncontrollably the more emotional he was inside. Outside the window, when he heard the voices inside, he was so shocked he almost blew his cover.
"If I had told you, would you have come?" Xu Qigang asked coolly, flicking off some ash.
"Damn! I knew you were the most deceitful, and others didn’t believe it—you even schemed against me."
"It’s easier for you to make a move," Xu Qigang handed him a cigarette, his gaze dark as he looked into the distance. "Do you know the real reason I was suspended?"
"The forces behind it, he was the main contributor," Xu Qigang’s words sent a shiver down Qin Yue’s spine.
"If that’s the case, then these photos cannot be handled carelessly." Qin Yue’s expression also turned serious. "What’s your next move? One wrong step and you could lose your captain’s position."
The capabilities of that person, they knew well. Otherwise, they would not have fought so ferociously against Meng Fan.
"First, I’ll return home." His suspension was far more complicated than Xiao Ning knew, but he hadn’t breathed a word about it, even to Chen Yingjie.
"You leaving, Shen Feihu will be worried sick." Qin Yue rolled his eyes at him, feeling relieved to say, "Luckily..."
As for what he was fortunate about, he didn’t specify. But that night, after parting with Xu Qigang, Qin Yue made a call straight to Su Jiang’s place.
In Shixi Town, Zhao Lanzi received a message sent by Li Bin and almost jumped for joy.
"Really? Qigang and the team are coming back?"
"That’s right! Captain Xu specifically called before coming back, don’t worry!"
"Thank you so much!" Zhao Lanzi put down her work, hurriedly inviting the visitor inside for a drink of water, offering to have lunch together.
"No need, I have other matters so I will leave now."
