After the master and his wife left, Christine opened her eyes again, and the innocence in her eyes was swept away, replaced by bottomless calculations and insidiousness.

She blinked, then reached out and took out the dagger with a shiny handle from inside her boots, and held it in her hand, as if only using this cold and hard iron tool could calm her anxiety and uneasiness.

Christine was like a poisonous snake that had been placed in an environment that was not conducive to its survival. It was both terrified and ready with its fangs, ready to deal a fatal blow to anyone who tried to approach her at any time.

But after a serious injury, even a hardened person will suffer serious damage, not to mention a woman like Christine, so even though her reason tells her to be vigilant, her physical strength can't keep up, and she gradually falls asleep past.

Christine had escaped here, but in Adam's castle, it was gloomy and full of anger.

"Trash!" Adam swept the valuable porcelain on the coffee table to the ground with a wave of his hand, making a heart-wrenching crisp sound.

He pointed at his subordinates standing together, his brows twisted into twists: "Talk about it yourself, there are so many of you, and you are all grown men with sound hands and feet, yet you let a woman who fell off a cliff escape." , saying that you are trash, are you insulting trash!"

Hearing this, the subordinates all lowered their heads: "I'm sorry Duke."

"What's the use of being sorry! Get out, get out!" Adam roared angrily.

"Duke, please give us another chance." The subordinates begged one after another.

"What's the use of me giving you bastards another chance? Do you want you to let that woman go again?" Adam roared angrily.

The subordinates didn't dare to argue, they could only lower their heads honestly.

Adam reached out and grabbed a delicate ceramic teacup, and slammed it on the ground: "Okay, since you insist, I'll give you another chance, but if you fail this time, it's not as simple as being kicked out, look Have you reached this teacup? Is this what will happen to you?"

Seeing this, the subordinates raised their heads again, with excited expressions on their faces, and said loudly: "Yes, this time I promise not to let her run away!"

Adam waved his hand wearily and impatiently: "Okay, it's useless to shout slogans no matter how loudly, go and arrest people!"

Hearing this, the subordinates nodded one after another, then turned and left the castle respectfully.

As for the hospital, the low air pressure that shrouded Ji Mujue's head gradually dissipated after Shang Zhuyi woke up, replaced by a warm atmosphere.

Ji Mujue sat by Shang Zhuyi's hospital bed as usual this day, holding the health-preserving porridge and feeding her small bites.

"Come on, open your mouth." Ji Mujue's tone seemed to be coaxing a child.

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "What are you doing, do I become a string and a pillar?"

Ji Mujue smiled dotingly: "Yes, you are my eldest daughter, and Yixian is my younger daughter. I dote on both of you."

This time, Shang Zhuyi and Ji Mujue are already an old couple, but she still couldn't stand Ji Mujue's sweet talk offensive, her fair face flushed immediately, and she laughed and scolded: "Slick tongue!"

But the smile in her eyes still betrayed the fact that she was actually very happy inside.

Ji Mujue was still smiling, and continued to tease her: "I'm only talking to you, what's the matter? The lady wants to despise me?"

Listening to him handing over such an old and intimate address, Shang Zhuyi couldn't stand it anymore, he smiled and stretched out his hand to beat him: "You can do it! Stop talking, it's really embarrassing..."

Seeing this, Ji Mujue pretended to be hurt, covered his shoulders, and exaggeratedly cried out in mourning: "Ah, my lady is really hard on you!"
Seeing his exaggerated acting skills, Shang Zhuyi didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he just pulled the quilt over his face and stopped looking at him.

Ji Mujue, who didn't get a response, was very sad. He stretched out his hand and pulled away the corner of Shang Zhuyi's quilt to cover his face, and maliciously said cutely: "Do you not love me anymore?"

Shang Zhuyi was teased by him so much that she wanted to laugh and curse at others, the two emotions came to her throat together and intertwined, until finally she was so blocked that she couldn't speak a word.

Ji Mujue looked at her blushing face, smiled lightly, stopped teasing her, and touched her forehead with a smile: "Okay, you still need to rest more, I'll let it go for now Get off your horse and go to sleep."

Hearing this, Shang Zhuyi smiled and nodded: "Okay, I understand, don't be too tired."

"I will take care of myself. Your top priority now is to take a good rest and get well soon. You don't need to worry about the rest." Ji Mujue said softly.

Now that he said that, Shang Zhuyi couldn't say anything more, nodded again, closed his eyes suddenly, and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that she was asleep, Ji Mujue felt relieved, looked deeply at Shang Zhuyi for a while, then turned and left the ward.

Although Ji Mujue's thoughts were all on Shang Zhuyi's body before, but after she woke up, Ji Mujue's heart relaxed a bit, and then he had extra energy to observe the surrounding situation.

Soon he noticed that in this hospital, a group of people seemed to be on time every day, with a clear division of labor, spying on him and Shang Zhuyi.

Although the other party hasn't done anything radical for the time being, Shang Zhuyi is still lying on the hospital bed, so Ji Mujue has to be more vigilant, so he plans to take advantage of Shang Zhuyi's rest time to find out who these people are What's the background.

When Ji Mujue walked out of the ward, he saw a person who pretended to be wandering around, but was actually staring at Shang Zhuyi's ward.

Seeing Ji Mujue walking out, the man showed a guilty look uncontrollably on his face, then he forced himself to be calm, turned around and walked downstairs.

Not to be alarmed, Ji Mujue didn't follow, but pretended not to notice that person, and walked towards the end of the corridor in the ward area.

This behavior of his attracted two more men in plain clothes, followed behind Ji Mujue, and walked towards the end of the corridor that was deserted.

When they arrived, they found that the end of the corridor was empty, and there was no sign of Ji Mujue.

Seeing this, the two men panicked, glanced at each other, and suddenly walked quickly to the end and looked around.

"What should we do? We've lost him, and we're going to have to walk around!" One of the men said anxiously.

The other person's state was not much calmer than his, and he frowned and said, "Of course I know! So why bother, look for him quickly! He won't be far away soon after he's out of our sight!"

"Find... quickly!"

At this moment, Ji Mujue, who was hiding in the stairwell, listened to all their words, and saw that these people were indeed ordered to monitor him and Shang Zhuyi!
However, based on the few words of these two men, it is still difficult for Ji Mujue to judge who is instigating behind the scenes and let them monitor him.

Therefore, Ji Mujue decided to take the initiative.

He quietly came behind the two men, and then shot like lightning, and grabbed one of them by the neck.

"what!"

The man only had time to let out a short and terrified cry, but Ji Mujue strangled his throat, making him unable to make a sound.

At this time, the other person also came to his senses, and quickly turned his head to look at Ji Mujue: "Mr. Ji! Don't...we have no malicious intentions."

Hearing this, Ji Mujue sneered: "There is no malice, you have been around us for so many days? Tell me! What exactly are you trying to do?"

The man who was questioned showed a look of embarrassment, because the Duke had told them to try not to let Ji Mujue know that they were watching him, so the man hesitated for a long time, but did not speak.

Seeing this, Ji Mujue gave him a cold look, then tightened his grip on the other man's neck: "It seems that you don't really care about your companion's life."

"Don't!" The man is just a small employee of the hospital's security department, and she doesn't want to bear the debt of life because of this incident, so she waved her hand quickly: "We all follow orders, Mr. Ji, don't embarrass us .”

Ji Mujue made up his mind to find out the identity of the other party today, so even if they said this, Ji Mujue still had no intention of softening his heart, and tightened his hand on the other person's dial: "Quickly say!":
Seeing that his companion's face became more and more ugly, the man couldn't hesitate anymore, he sighed heavily, and admitted defeat; "Okay, let me tell you, we are from the security department of the hospital, so we can walk around in the VIP ward casually." , yes... the duke asked us to come."

Hearing this, Ji Mujue's face became even uglier, he let go of the other man's neck, then bowed his head and fell silent.

"Cough cough cough..."

The security guard who had just been let go coughed violently while clutching his neck, and another person hurried up to support him, both of them looked unhappy.

Although they managed to escape from Ji Mujue's hands for the time being, their whereabouts and purpose have been exposed. I don't know how the Duke will be furious when he finds out about this. I'm afraid the job in the security department will definitely not be guaranteed. up.

However, to their surprise, at this moment, Ji Mujue, who had been silent at the side, suddenly said, "I won't say anything to the Duke about this matter, so keep it a secret for now."

Hearing this, the two men were stunned for a moment, then nodded in surprise and joy: "We know!"

As long as the duke doesn't find out that they've messed up their errands, they won't be punished. As for other things, it's beyond the two young men's concern.

Seeing that they agreed, Ji Mujue didn't continue to make things difficult for them, but just waved his hand: "Okay, you guys go."

Hearing this, the two men quickly turned and left.

While thinking about what happened just now, Ji Mujue walked slowly back to the ward.

At this time, Shang Zhuyi, who had already had a full night's sleep, slowly opened her eyes and saw Ji Mujue walking in, so she smiled, with a little sleepiness in her voice: "Where did you go?"
