The police came to the Huo family's mansion again, which was nothing new to the Huo family's servants.
But what happened this time was unprecedented——
The person injured last time was Huo Qiran, who almost never lived in this home, and the injury was only minor;
But this time, the injured person was Huo Jinxi, the head of the family. At that time, he bled so much that the living room, which had been simply tidied up, still looked like a mess.
In this mess, the police who arrived were carefully and busy collecting evidence and recording confessions.
Mu Qian was leaning alone at the gate, looking at the wide private gardens and roads outside, her brows and eyes reflecting the clear and cold light.
After Rong Heng walked out of the room, he stood next to her, lowered his head and lit a cigarette for himself.
In the night wind, some smoke drifted in front of Mu Qian, and she suddenly said: "Give me one."
Rong Heng was suddenly startled, and after looking up at her, he finally took out another cigarette and handed it to Mu Qian.
Mu Qian reached out to take it, put it in her mouth, tilted her head slightly, lit the cigarette with Rong Heng's hand, and took a deep breath.
Perhaps her smoking movements were too skillful, which made Rong Heng unable to recover for a moment. After a while, he said again: "Aren't you going to the hospital?"
Mu Qian held a cigarette between her fingers and chuckled, "What are you going to do there?"
He was lying on the operating table fighting a death race. She couldn't get in and couldn't see. She could only stay outside the operating room and stare at the light during the operation in a daze;
And even if she goes in, what can she do? She just looks at him lying on the operating table, unable to do anything.
Waiting will make time become long and scary.
She knew that feeling all too well, so she would rather find something else to do to distract herself.
Maybe by then, a piece of news will come inadvertently, that is, the operation is over and he is fine...
Rong Heng was silent for another moment and then said: "That's right. Second brother is such a strong person and has survived so many disasters in the past. Nothing will happen this time."
After hearing this, Mu Qian laughed again and did not answer.
She only took two puffs from a cigarette. The rest of the time, she just held it quietly between her fingers and let the tobacco burn slowly.
When the cigarette burned out, a policeman came out and reported the progress to Rong Heng.
"The evidence collection is almost over, and the confessions have been recorded. It's upstairs——"
Upstairs, Cheng Manshu and Lin Shu stayed in the room and never showed up. They also did not choose to force the door.
"Wait a little longer." Rong Heng said, then reached out to take the confession from the police officer and read through it.
"Show me." Mu Qian suddenly said.
Rong Heng raised his eyes to look at her, Mu Qian just smiled slightly and said, "Anyway, I am idle."
Rong Heng hesitated for a moment and handed her one of the confessions.
Mu Qian took it and read it at a glance, then turned back and read each word carefully.
What happened on this day was originally harmonious and beautiful.
Cheng Manshu's mental state was much calmer and more stable, and Huo Bainian, who had not been home for a long time, actually came back.
After Huo Bainian came back, he uncharacteristically did not argue with Cheng Manshu. Instead, he asked Cheng Manshu very patiently and carefully about his current situation.
Cheng Manshu's mood fluctuated a bit at first, but then gradually stabilized, and his mood seemed to be much better, and he even sat down to have lunch with Huo Bainian.
Huo Bainian has always been a chauvinist, but this time he was extra cautious. He was afraid of irritating Cheng Manshu in every word and deed, and was very considerate.
He also specially asked people to buy back the honeydew melons from the greenhouse that Cheng Manshu always liked to eat, and even took them to the kitchen to cut them himself.
But just at this moment, the screen of his mobile phone on the coffee table lit up silently.
Cheng Manshu, who was sitting on the sofa, saw the caller ID on it at a glance - the character "婷".
Just such a word, a name belonging to a certain woman, made Cheng Manshu lose control of his emotions again.
No one was prepared.
After all, this afternoon was almost the most warm and harmonious afternoon in this mansion in so many years.
Except Huo Jinxi who just came back.
He was prepared, but still failed to guard against Cheng Manshu's madness, or perhaps there were so many people he wanted to protect that he completely forgot to protect himself...
But after all, he is just an ordinary person. He is not made of steel, nor is he invulnerable. All he has is a body of flesh and blood——
Mu Qian returned the confession to Rong Heng, turned around and walked to the side, standing with his back to everyone.
Rong Heng looked at her back and felt a little worried. He walked forward slowly and said, "Would you like... to ask Lu Yuan to come and accompany you?"
Mu Qian did not look back, but slowly shook her head, her voice cold and firm: "I'm fine."
After hearing this, Rong Heng was about to say something, but he suddenly caught a glimpse of movement in the hall from the corner of his eye, and immediately turned his head to look inside.
Mu Qian also noticed it and turned to look in the same direction.
On the stairs, Cheng Manshu, who had changed clothes and even washed himself, was slowly walking down with Lin Shu's support.
Her face was extremely pale, there was no trace of blood on her lips, but her eyes were red.
Compared with the sensitive, suspicious, crazy and irritable attitude in the past, Cheng Manshu at this moment is calm and collected.
On the contrary, Lin Shu beside her was crying uncontrollably.
Upon seeing this, Rong Heng immediately led the team through the door and went forward to greet them.
Mu Qian had been standing outside the door, looking at everything inside with an expressionless face through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window.
She saw what Cheng Manshu said to Rong Heng, and Lin Shu cried even harder. After Rong Heng nodded slowly, the police officer beside him took out the handcuffs.
Rong Heng raised his hand to block the police officer's handcuffs, and then asked a female police officer to step forward to replace Lin Shu and help Cheng Manshu.
The group of people slowly walked out of the main building of the mansion.
The police car was parked at the door. Under the flashing red and blue lights, Cheng Manshu's face was still pale, but she quietly got into the police car under the escort of the female police officer.
Soon, the police car started and prepared to leave.
In the police car, Cheng Manshu's face was calm and gray, and his eyes were dull, as if he couldn't see anyone, including Mu Qian who was not far away.
Rong Heng then walked towards Mu Qian again and said slowly: "She said she was willing to plead guilty and would go back to the police station with us to explain everything she had committed."
"Really?" Mu Qian responded lightly.
"Do you want...I'll take you away?" Rong Heng asked again.
Mu Qian slowly shook her head and turned to look at the situation in the hall, "Don't worry, the most dangerous person here is gone, no one will hurt me anymore -"
"After handling the matters at hand, I will go to the hospital." Rong Heng said, "Call me if you need anything."
Mu Qian listened but did not answer.
Rong Heng turned around and returned to the police car, opened the door and got into the car.
Soon, several police cars drove out of the Huo family mansion silently.
At the same time, Lin Shu walked out of the room and stood in front of Mu Qian.
Mu Qian raised his eyes to look at her and saw that the tip of her nose was red and her eye sockets were still moist.
Mu Qian felt that she might receive a few slaps.
"Go to the hospital." Lin Shu spoke slowly, her voice hoarse and low, "Go see him and stay with him. He likes you so much, he loves you so much, who else can he expect besides you?"
