After the call, Han Muzi came out of the washroom and saw Ye Moxuan sitting back at his seat. His dark eyes kept on staring at her even after she came out.
His scorching gaze was starting to annoy her. Looks like this man doesn’t realize what he has gotten us into. Why did he suddenly need to go on a blind date? And if he really wanted it, he should’ve just focused on it. I wouldn’t have had any complaints if he got on with that woman. But why involve me in this? Now, an insane person is after me, and I feel in danger everywhere I go.
Any normal person would definitely be afraid of someone as extreme as Lin Qingqing. She splashed acid on someone today, and she might even slash people with a knife the next day. I don’t want to die or get hurt. But most importantly… I don’t want the people close to me getting hurt. I’d never thought that this would happen, but at the end, it came to this irreversible mess.
Han Muzi had a look at the time and decided to talk to Ye Moxuan.
She took the initiative of walking toward him and sat down in front of him. “Ye Moxuan, we need to have a talk.”
It was rare for her to talk in such a peaceful tone, but Ye Moxuan had a bad feeling about it as he tightened his lips and said, “If you’re trying to push me to someone else, then we have nothing to talk about.” He turned his back at her afterward.
Han Muzi remained silent before replying to him, “When have I ever said that?”
“Then what do you want to talk about?”
“I want to talk about Lin Qingqing.”
Ye Moxuan frowned at the sound of it. “Aren’t you pushing me away now?”
“I’m just trying to tell you that the person she hates is me. Although you’re hurt, I’m still fine, so she will do whatever she can to hurt me the next time. I’m sure the person I saw just now was her, which means she must have come to the hospital,” Han Muzi explained.
Hearing this, Ye Moxuan finally understood her intentions. “When did you become this scared of dying?”
Han Muzi’s thoughts were cut off by his words. She turned to Ye Moxuan and saw that there was no mockery in his eyes, but his words still hit hard on her. “I’m not doing this because I’m afraid of dying. I’m doing this because…”
She was afraid of hurting the people close to her, especially Little Bean, since he was the closest person to her. If Lin Qingqing actually found out about him, the consequences would be devastating. That was why she must let Ye Moxuan take care of the situation carefully.
“Because of what?” Ye Moxuan quickly asked.
Because of what? She couldn’t tell him the reason, so she swiftly turned her head away. “There’s no other reason. Just see me as someone who doesn’t want to die and am afraid of getting hurt. I don’t want someone splashing acid at me, and I don’t want someone to stab me either. It’s that simple.”
After she was done, she felt that Ye Moxuan moved, and he suddenly held her hand in his. Her hand was engulfed by his huge palm. “I don’t care if you’re afraid to die or not. I won’t let anyone harm you one bit,” he reassured her in a lowered voice.
“Ye Moxuan…”
“Didn’t I give up my body just to save you? You can see that I won’t let her hurt you anymore.”
“Then what do you plan to do?” Han Muzi frowned. “The police have been looking for her, but now…”
“Heh.” Ye Moxuan let out a chuckle. “In that case, we’ll help the police find her.”
Finally, Han Muzi felt assured after hearing his words. Since Ye Moxuan is willing to act, then… Lin Qingqing will be caught. We’ll deal with the rest after she is caught.
…
As expected, after Ye Moxuan decided to take action, Lin Qingqing was quickly caught and sent to the police station. It was reported that when she was arrested, there was even a knife on her.
After hearing the news, Han Muzi felt a chill down her spine. As expected, she didn’t give up.
Due to the capture of Lin Qingqing, the police summoned her and Ye Moxuan over as witnesses to continue their investigation of the situation.
Yan had already prepared the evidence in case Lin Qingqing was ever caught, and she handed over the evidence to the police right after the arrest. It was the video recording of the lounge which recorded everything that happened inside the lounge on that day.
That was the conclusive evidence. Other than that, Yan also found the lady who joined in on the mess that day as a witness. All the evidence was enough to detain Lin Qingqing straight away, but they still needed to wait for the court to declare her guilty.
Without waiting for Han Muzi to act, Ye Moxuan immediately found the best lawyer in North City for her. By the looks of it, he really wanted to increase Lin Qingqing’s penalty.
She didn’t oppose him because she knew that it would be foolish of her to pity Lin Qingqing at this point in time.
After all, she actually did pour acid all over Ye Moxuan. Han Muzi wondered why Lin Qingqing didn’t even hesitate at that time. That was why… one should never be kind to their enemy.
In the end, Lin Qingqing was detained.
Finally, Han Muzi could rest assured, and the passing of time slowly healed Ye Moxuan’s wound bit by bit.
His wound was serious, so he needed to go through a surgery to fix it, or else… Nevertheless, the doctor said that even after the surgery, there would still be a long and ugly scar on his back.
About this, Han Muzi felt very guilty, because scars were unlike anything else; they would follow you forever until you were old, and even after death.
“If you really pity me, then you can choose to stay beside me forever as a way of redemption,” Ye Moxuan, who was behind Han Muzi, joked, startling her. She then scowled and glared at him. “What? You don’t want to?” he asked as he raised his eyebrows with satisfaction.
“The court session will begin a few days later. Are you hoping to increase her penalty by finding such a good lawyer?”
“So what if that’s the case?” The warmth inside of Ye Moxuan’s eyes faded completely after she mentioned Lin Qingqing’s name. What came after was an endless sense of coldness and a vicious smile on his face. “Anyone who tries to harm my beloved woman must pay the price.”
My beloved woman… Han Muzi was shocked by these words.
Realizing that her heart was racing, Han Muzi pretended she didn’t hear a word and asked, “But you used to date her, and she is still a young girl. Do you really have the heart to do this?”
Ye Moxuan stared at her earnestly. “Nobody is important to me except for you.”
Han Muzi was rendered speechless, so she asked again, “What about the person who set you two up?”
The moment her words came out, Ye Moxuan was dumbstruck. Then Han Muzi smiled faintly and turned her head over. “This proves that my guess was right. You didn’t like her, but you still went on the date, which could only mean one thing—you couldn’t reject that person who set you two up. Let me guess; I believe that that person is Doctor Song, Song An, right?”
