After hearing Bai Shao’s words, Lu Junnian frowned deeper.

He queried suspiciously, “Really?”

The man nodded confidently, “It’s true.”

After saying this, Bai Shao yawned again and plopped onto the chair, closing his eyes to get some rest.

Lu Junnian frowned even more as he observed Mu Zhi sleeping soundly in the seat next to him…

So, is Mu Zhi just sleeping right now?

Lu Junnian glanced at Bai Shao next to him once more. He looked confident and calm. Naturally, Lu

Junnian did not doubt Bai Shao’s diagnosis.

Bai Shao and Lu Junnian met when they were studying in the United States. Bai Shao was gifted in the

medical field, but he never aspired to it. Soon after he completed his studies, he came back and opted to

work in a very leisurely department. He was happy and content with his simple life.

Now that Bai Shao had reaffirmed her condition, Lu Junnian did not doubt it anymore. Seeing Mu Zhi still

asleep, he picked her up, found an empty ward, and tucked her in bed.

By just the thought of Lu Jinye giving Mu Zhi that drug, and that her driving out late at night leading to a

near-miss accident, Lu Junnian was fumingly incandescent.

In the end, he couldn’t restrain himself and broke into Bai Shao’s clinic again.

Bai Shao had taken off his work clothes and was about to leave the hospital to make up for his sleep.

Unfortunately, he was caught up by Lu Junnian. Bai Shao looked at Lu Junnian dubiously, and couldn’t

help but let out another yawn and tried to escape.

“Don’t tell me you need something else from me. I’m sleepy and I want to go home and sleep.”

Lu Junnian smiled and grabbed Bai Shao’s hand as soon as he finished saying this sentence, “You are

right, I have something for you.”

“What’s the matter? I won’t help.”

Bai Shao refused Lu Junnian without even listening.

But this did not stop Lu Junnian’s plan. He ignored Bai Shao’s refusal and pulled Bai Shao towards Mu

Zhi’s ward. He opened the door and let Bai Shao in, “The sofa next to her is very suited for sleeping.

Since you are so good looking, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to flirt with a nurse for a quilt.”

After saying this, Lu Junnian left without even explaining.

“Hey…”

Bai Shao reached out to stop Lu Junnian, although he knew that he could not.

After he had Mu Zhi settled down, Lu Junnian advanced out of the hospital door. He drove off right after

he got into the car!

He sped as fast as lightning on the road. It was quite a distance to where Mu Zhi had her accident. It

took Lu Junnian almost an hour to get to the accident scene, and then he carefully observed the

surrounding.

There must be a place to stay here, and Lu Jinye should be nearby!

Xiao Qingqing found Lu Jinye’s room according to the room number Shen Mobo gave, but when she

opened the door, it was empty inside.

Xiao Qingqing frowned in disapproval. Is Lu Jinye not back yet or what?

She waited for a while, but the more she waited, the more she realized that the possibility of Lu Jinye

coming back was low, whereas the possibility that something had gone wrong was very high.

Annoyed, she called Shen Mobo hastily, “Please make a quick check for me and find out where Lu Jinye

is, he is not in the room he reserved at all.”

Xiao Qingqing’s tone was anxious, and it clearly contained sullenness.

Shen Mobo quickly tried to calm her down on the other end of the phone, “Calm down and don’t fret. It’s

still early, and the medicine will work until eight in the morning, so don’t worry.”

Following which, he quickly called the butler.

After he heard what the butler said, Shen Mobo chided him indignantly!

“What are you talking about?! I only told you not to leave any traces. You just had to turn off the

surveillance cameras on Mu Zhi’s floor. Why did you turn off the entire villa’s?”

“Stupid! Idiot!”

The butler trembled at the end of the phone from his fury, “Young Master Shen… What should I do

then?”

“What do you think?”

Shen Mobo rubbed his temples irritably and asked.

“Search every room?”

The butler swallowed, and added, “This is the only way now… Because… If the guests had went to the

wrong room, they could be asleep anywhere!”

“Do I need you to remind me of this? Hurry up and start searching!”

Shen Mobo had gone berserk that instant.

But he didn’t dare to tell Xiao Qingqing what went wrong in the hotel after he hung up. He could only call

her back to reassure her, “Qingqing, wait a minute, I have asked the butler see to it.”

Xiao Qingqing was very anxious at the other end, but there was nothing to could do at this point.

She could only grip the phone nervously, and said to Shen Mobo, “Mobo, where are you, can I go to

you? I’m afraid…”

Shen Mobo instantly hummed at Xiao Qingqing. But almost at the same time he continued, “Wait for me,

I will go to you.”

Xiao Qingqing had been sitting in the room. She did not turn on the lights. She had her hands tightly held

together to help overcome her tenseness.

When Mobo Shen arrived, only then she took a sigh in relief.

“Why didn’t you turn the lights on?”

Shen Mobo looked at Xiao Qingqing inside the room. The curtains had good light-proofing, plus Xiao

Qingqing was hiding in the dark, revealing only her silhouette.

“Don’t turn on the lights.”

Xiao Qingqing reminded. Shen Mobo did not ask why. He just walked gently towards Xiao Qingqing, and

then pulled a chair and sat opposite her.

“How long will the drug… Last?”

Xiao Qingqing was very clever. Judging from Shen Mobo’s reaction, she had guessed that something

was amiss.

Therefore, she asked this question so that she’d know how long she still had…

Little did she realize that out of her nervousness, she had already asked this question.

“By calculating the efficacy of the drug and also by taking Lu Jinye’s habits into account, it can only last

until eight in the morning.”

Shen Mobo answered her again, but he had realized Xiao Qingqing’s nervousness through the little

details he observed of her.

He wanted to step forward and comfort him.

However, Xiao Qingqing instantly refused him.

“It’s alright, I’m fine.”

Xiao Qingqing withdrew her hand and took another deep breath.

She was sitting in the dark, so Shen Mobo could only accompany her in the dark the rest of the time.

Time passed by minute by minute… It felt like forever.

Sunlight gradually seeped into the room.

Xiao Qingqing’s dejection grew with time.

Suddenly, Shen Mobo’s phone rang. The butler’s excited voice was heard, “Lu Jinye is in Room 09 of

Building C.”

Xiao Qingqing stood up almost immediately and rushed out of the door.

Shen Mobo quickly followed, but Xiao Qingqing had already got into the elevator.

Shen Mobo only realized that Xiao Qingqing had a translucent dress on the moment the elevator door

closed. The light in the elevator revealed her underwear that she had planned with intentions.

It was full of provocative temptation.
