Chapter 367: The Injured Unconscious Man
Chapter 367: The Injured Unconscious Man
"Right now I want to have...""Who! Who’s there?"
Xiao Zhongzhen’s sharp gaze looked towards the door.
Housekeeper Xu immediately went over to check, pushed the door open, looked around, and returned to report, "Sir, there’s no one! Did you perhaps see wrong?"
Xiao Zhongzhen coughed, "It’s possible. I really can’t deny aging; my sensitivity has truly diminished compared to when I was young."
"..."
At this moment, Qiao Yu was hiding in the corner, her breathing extremely rapid. Thankfully, she reacted quickly just now, or she would have been discovered.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiuru was quite formidable. The old master had really started to feel disappointed in Song Song. It seemed that from now on, as long as she served the old master well and behaved more educated and reasonable, it would be enough.
But, even so, is there still a possibility for her and Xiao Jinghuai?
After all, she is now Xiao Jiuru’s fiancée, and just now Housekeeper Xu even saw her and him together...
Damn it! Truly a hundred secrets, and still one slip-up.
It seems she’ll have to come up with a more secure plan, so she can completely sever ties with Xiao Jiuru and still have the old master’s love and care.
Yes, she must think it through carefully.
As Qiao Yu turned to head back to her room, her phone rang. She pulled it out to see the caller ID was her mom—
"Mom, what’s up?"
"Yu’er, something big has happened!"
Helian Sulan suddenly shrieked on the other end, "Your dad, your dad actually gave away two of the family’s villas and five percent of the Qiao Family’s shares to that Song Song. He must have gone insane! How could he give that tramp the family’s assets!"
Qiao Yu was a bit stunned. "Mom, that can’t be! Why would dad give the assets to someone unrelated? I’m his biological daughter; he wouldn’t do that."
"Yu’er, you’d better believe it. Even I didn’t believe it at first, but Lawyer Lin told me directly. I gave Lawyer Lin quite a few benefits before he revealed it, or we’d still be in the dark. You wanted to become the operations director at Qiao Family before, and your dad didn’t agree, saying you should start as a junior employee and be treated equally... but now he’s giving company shares to that wretch’s daughter!"
"It’s absolutely infuriating!"
Qiao Yu frowned. "Mom, don’t worry. If this is true, I will definitely make dad change his mind. There’s no way I’ll let that Song Song inherit our family fortune."
"Yu’er." Helian Sulan softened her tone, "Everything I’m doing is for you. You must be strong and not be outdone by that Song Song."
"What if one day your dad goes crazy and brings that Song Song home to live with us, what then?"
Jealousy flashed in Qiao Yu’s eyes. "Mom, don’t worry, I will never let that happen! You get some rest early; I’ll handle all these messy things."
"Alright, Yu’er, you take care of yourself too and rest up, don’t overwork. Mom will hang up now!"
"Mm—"
After hanging up, Qiao Yu gripped her phone and walked towards her room, clearly needing to do something soon.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, something very important that she had somehow forgotten.
Ha!
She didn’t believe she couldn’t handle that brat!
...
Song Song didn’t expect to sleep until broad daylight. As soon as she woke up, she checked to see if anyone was beside her; luckily, he was no longer there.
She suddenly recalled how he held her through the night last night but did nothing, which annoyed her a bit.
She cursed at the empty half of the bed, "Such self-deception! If he really didn’t mind, he wouldn’t just chat under the blanket with me!"
It wasn’t because he didn’t mind, which was why he lost interest as soon as she yelled.
His behavior was too obvious; he despised her.
Thinking of this, Song Song felt like her heart was being hollowed out, feeling extremely uncomfortable. She immediately shook off all the negative thoughts in her head, got up, and went into the bathroom. After a simple wash, she walked out of the room.
Upon leaving, she saw two very strong men standing on either side.
Song Song hadn’t expected anyone outside the door, and her little heart skipped a beat in surprise. "Who... who are you guys? What are you doing here?"
One of the men in black stepped forward, his expression serious, "Madam, we were sent by the gentleman to protect you. Where would you like to go now?"
"... Madam? Protect me?"
Song Song was a bit confused; she didn’t want to wander around Qingcheng City with two tails.
"Yes!"
The two spoke in unison.
"I don’t need your protection. If he told you to protect me, I should have the right to give you a day off, right? You go have fun yourselves!"
"No! We only follow the gentleman’s orders!"
The two spoke in unison again.
Song Song found it a bit exasperating. Seeing the situation, for now, she couldn’t shake them off. So, she’d let them follow for a while, then find a suitable moment to escape.
"Alright, then just follow me for now."
"Where would madam like to go now?"
Song Song thought for a moment, "Isn’t there a snack street in Qingcheng City? Can you take me there?"
The snack street was narrow, and crowded, definitely a good spot to ditch them.
"Alright, madam, please follow us—"
The two spoke in unison again.
Song Song was a bit puzzled, "Could it be that you two are twins?"
After her words, both men in black took off their sunglasses simultaneously and replied in unison, "Yes, we are twins!"
Song Song didn’t expect it to be true, "Alright, you two win."
Half an hour later, the three arrived at the famous snack street "Tongli" in Qingcheng City.
As the name implies, Tongli reflects the idea that the entire snack street is in an alley; after setting up stalls on both sides, the remaining space allowed only three people to walk side by side, so naturally, vehicles couldn’t pass.
Song Song walked in front, with two men in black following behind her. She ate wherever she went, focusing only on eating, leaving payment responsibility aside.
Stopping at a stall, Song Song ordered fried squid, watching as one of the men in black pulled out a whole hundred yuan bill. The stall owner shook his head hastily, "Business is too good today, no change available. Sir, do you have Alipay? That will do as well."
Seeing that the two were a bit negligent towards her, Song Song immediately bolted, slipping into another narrow alleyway.
After successfully shaking them off, Song Song felt a bit smug, taking a big bite of squid, "Hmph! Does he still think she’s the foolish girl from the past? Sending those two big oafs to follow her."
Just as she finished speaking, her mouth was suddenly covered from behind, and a bloody smell surged into her nostrils.
The smell...
It was blood.
"Don’t speak, please don’t speak!" Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovєlFіre.net
A weak voice came from behind her.
Song Song was startled, nodding immediately like pounding garlic. What was going on?
Had she encountered a good person or a bad person?
As time passed, she heard a "thud" sound, like something heavy hitting the ground.
She quickly turned around to find a man, injured and unconscious, lying on the ground.
