Chapter 470 Wait for me to pick you up

By the time the wedding banquet was over, Mu Qian was already tipsy after spending the whole night in the social circle.

When leaving, people still came up to chat. Mu Qian still gave enough face to them, chatting with everyone one by one, saying goodbye, and finally got in the car.

As soon as she got in the car, she nestled in the back seat. When Huo Jinxi came back from saying hello to acquaintances, she had already squinted her eyes and stopped moving.

Huo Jinxi got into the car, put her head on his lap, and then told the driver to drive.

The car drove quietly, and the inside of the car was also silent. However, halfway through the car, Huo Jinxi still noticed something.

Looking down, Mu Qian, who had been lying on his lap with her eyes closed, had opened her eyes at some point and was lying with her eyes straight.

Huo Jinxi didn't say anything, just stretched out his hand to help him up.

Mu Qian leaned into his arms, but still felt that it was not ordinary enough. She stretched out her hands to grab Huo Jinxi's shoulders and pressed herself tightly against him.

"You know what? When I saw Ye Jinfan and Lu Tang standing on the stage, I really wanted to take a photo and send it to her, asking her if it was worth betraying our friendship for such a man..." Mu Qian said softly.

Open your mouth.

Huo Jinxi didn't answer, he just held her back and patted her soothingly.

"But I can't do this." Mu Qian said, "She is already pitiful enough, and I know that she regrets it. She has always regretted it..."

She leaned closely against Huo Jinxi and murmured almost unconsciously.

Huo Jinxi never responded, he just allowed her to keep talking, venting all the frustration he had been holding in all night.

He knew that she was always sad in her heart, but she was so good at controlling her emotions. She knew when to cry, when to laugh, and when to let go.

It was rare to be able to express what was on the mind while being tipsy, so Huo Jinxi left her alone.

Sure enough, after one night, Mu Qian returned to her usual state.

It was as if nothing had happened to her. Ye Xi and Ye Jinfan were all temporarily forgotten by her. She was still concentrating on the upcoming art exhibition.

The next day, Mu Qian made an appointment with Wei Yao, a famous collector in the city, to discuss inviting his collection to be exhibited.

Wei Yao's studio is located in an old factory area in the west of the city. After urban planning and transformation, it was renovated into an artistic-style tourist area, with many unique shops and art studios opened.

Although it is a tourist area, it is still a bit deserted during the day on weekdays. Most of the bars and cafes are closed, and you can only occasionally meet one or two groups who come to take pictures.

It was Mu Qian's first time to visit such a place, so she couldn't help but find it novel. Along the way, she kept looking at the graffiti on the walls, feeling overwhelmed.

Until the car stopped in front of a small independent building, the surrounding area became even quieter. There was only a little girl about three or four years old playing in front of the building holding a kitten.

Mu Qian saw that the little girl was cute but she was alone. She couldn't help but sigh that the child's guardian had a big heart. When she was about to go up to talk to her, Wu Hao behind her suddenly pulled her and said, "Be careful, madam!"

While Mu Qian fell backwards, Wu Hao flew forward and held the little girl in his arms!

Almost at the same time, a flowerpot fell from upstairs and hit Wu Hao on the back.

Wu Hao fell to the ground in response, but the little girl in his arms was safe and sound.

Seeing this, Mu Qian quickly stepped forward, picked up the little girl, and then reached out to help Wu Hao, "How are you?"

Wu Hao was obviously injured, but he endured it and refused to say a word.

"Call 120!" Mu Qian quickly ordered the others.

"No, ma'am." Wu Hao forced himself to speak, "It's okay, I can handle it."

"You are still holding on like this. If something happens to you, how will I explain it to your family?" Mu Qian said, "You can bear this responsibility, but I can't."

After saying that, Mu Qian looked up again and looked upstairs.

In the entire small building, only the balcony on the third floor was decorated with flowers and plants. It can be seen that the flowerpot fell from the third floor. Wu Hao would definitely not be relaxed after being hit by this.

Mu Qian didn't dare to move him easily, she just waited for the ambulance to arrive.

The little girl who was playing with the cat just stood aside blankly, obviously frightened.

Mu Qian was about to comfort her a few words, when suddenly a middle-aged woman hurriedly walked out next to her. When she saw the little girl, she immediately rushed forward, hugged her, and slapped her a few times, "Tell you to mess up."

Run! I told you to run around! What should I do if I meet a bad guy and get kidnapped?"

The little girl cried loudly after being beaten. When Mu Qian was about to say something, the middle-aged woman had already walked away with the little girl in her arms, cursing her.

Mu Qian looked at the two people's retreating figures and couldn't help but sigh.

Ten minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took Wu Hao to the hospital.

Mu Qian originally wanted one of the three remaining bodyguards to accompany Wu Hao to the hospital, but Wu Hao refused to let him go and instead told them to protect Mu Qian.

Mu Qian had no choice but to call Huo Jinxi and ask him to arrange for someone to look after Wu Hao.

After listening to Mu Qian's story, Huo Jinxi just said: "Wu Hao, I will ask someone to take care of you. You stay there and wait for me to come and pick you up."

"I know." Mu Qian said, "I'll go talk to Mr. Wei first."

Seeing the ambulance leaving, Mu Qiancai turned around and went upstairs again.

When passing by the third floor, Mu Qian couldn't help but stop, walked to the door, and knocked gently on the door.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one responded. Instead, I seemed to hear two cat meows vaguely.

Mu Qian exhaled slightly, turned around and directed a bodyguard to stay at the door with her eyes, while she continued walking up.

Wei Yao's studio was on the fourth floor. Mu Qian went to the door, but unexpectedly learned that Wei Yao had gone out.

"Something happened at Teacher Wei's house, so he rushed back to deal with it." Wei Yao's assistant at work said to Mu Qian, "You'd better come back another day."

"Then when will he come back?" Mu Qian was not willing to go in vain, "I can wait for him here."

The assistant looked at Mu Qian with a troubled expression and said, "Teacher Wei probably won't come over today. You'd better make an appointment with him another day."

Seeing her look like that, Mu Qian guessed that something had happened to Wei Yao's family and that he wouldn't be able to come back for a while, so he had no choice but to give up.

The group of people turned around and went downstairs again. When passing by the third floor, Mu Qian asked the bodyguard and learned that except for the meowing of cats, there was no other sound in the house.

Mu Qian stood on the stairs, hesitating for a moment whether to walk out of the building.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the stairs. Several bodyguards immediately protected Mu Qian and looked at the person.

The person who came was a man in his thirties. He was obviously stunned after seeing them, "Who are you?"

After hearing this, Mu Qian said, "Do you live here?"

The man looked at them defensively, "Why are you standing at my door?"

"Just now a pot of flowers fell from your balcony and hit my friend." Mu Qian said, "We have no malicious intent, we just want to remind you to pay attention to your safety."

After hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth angrily, "It must be that stinky cat!"

As he spoke, he quickly stepped forward, got rid of the key, and opened the door.

However, the moment the door opened, an object was suddenly thrown out from inside and landed at Mu Qian's feet.

Mu Qian suddenly lowered her head and saw an object that looked like a grenade, stopping right at her feet.

The man who opened the door earlier quickly stepped into the room and closed the door with a bang!

"Be careful, madam!" A bodyguard protected Mu Qian with his body.

boom!

After a deafening loud noise and a dazzling flash of light, Mu Qian lost consciousness.
