Shen Tinglu smiled, "Everything you want is here. I hurt those people. As long as you give them these data, they will not hold you accountable."

Ming Xi's hand holding the USB flash drive trembled a few times, "Why did you give it to me?"

She looked at him with complicated eyes, "Since I returned to China to find you, you have suspected my purpose, right? After I returned to country C, you also followed me all the way to that warehouse."

At the end, the voice was a little weak, "Shen Tinglu, what is your purpose for doing this? Rescuing us single-handedly, and not wanting to let us know that you are injured, this does not seem to be your style."

Shen Tinglu raised his eyebrows, "Don't think that I am a good person. I have been in business for so many years, and I have long been accustomed to the way you come and go. Today you owe me, and one day I will let you one by one repay."

His tone was relaxed, but a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead when he spoke, as if he was holding back something.

Ming Xi put the USB drive aside, and suddenly pushed him down on the bed.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Tinglu turned his head and looked at the door panel, "Close the door first."

Ming Xi smiled softly, "When you were in China, didn't you say that you liked excitement the most? Today I just want to repay you well."

Seeing her abnormal attitude, Shen Tinglu frowned slightly.

Without waiting for him to react, Ming Xi quickly tore off his suit jacket.

The moment the coat was taken off, his white shirt, which was stained with a large amount of blood, was immediately exposed to her eyes.

The red blood on the shirt was sticky, it was obviously fresh blood, and new blood stains appeared before it was completely dry.

Ming Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she unbuttoned his shirt one by one with trembling hands.

Shen Tinglu looked at the form on his body, sighed lightly and did not stop him.

Until he completely unbuttoned his shirt, and looked at the shocking wounds on his skin, the tears in Mingxi's eyes finally fell down uncontrollably, "Shen Tinglu! Are you crazy? Who told you to take risks alone! No matter what you do, I will not thank you, understand!"

Ming Xi beat him with her fist uncontrollably, but before her hands landed on him, she immediately withdrew her strength when she saw his blood-stained skin.

Shen Tinglu's eyes flashed a dark light quickly, but the expression on his face did not change at all, and he said lightly: "Do you think I need your gratitude? I did all this for myself. You also said just now that I know that I am very suspicious. Seriously, I'm worried that you will really leak Shen's confidential data, so of course you have to come and see for yourself."

He stood up and looked at her with indifferent eyes, "Fortunately, you are quite sensible and know to stop in time. But if you dare to do such a thing in the future, I will never forgive you."

Abandoning the warning, he put on his clothes and strode out.

Ming Xi's body seemed to be drained of strength, and her body gradually slid down.

Thinking of what he just said, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

If he was really worried that the confidential data would be leaked by her, why would he take the initiative to give her the USB drive just now?
Du Ruize and Jiang Mengyue waited in the living room for a while, and they were relieved to see Ming Xi come out of the room intact.

Seeing the doctor bandaging Jiang Mengyue's wound, Ming Xi tried to calm herself down, "Doctor, how is she doing?"

"Although there are many bruises on my body, fortunately, they are all traumatic injuries, and they will gradually heal after a few days of recuperation." The doctor replied.

Only then did Ming Xi heave a long sigh of relief.

The wounds on Jiang Mengyue's body were all bandaged, and Du Ruize also stood up, "Fortunately, no one is in a serious situation."

The voice fell, and the three fell into a long silence.

It's very dangerous outside now, but this is Shen Tinglu's territory, and they don't know what to do for a while.

The living room was maintaining an eerie silence, and the man came out of the room.

He had already put on clean clothes, and there were signs of being bandaged on his body.

Ming Xi breathed a sigh of relief, seeing him getting closer and closer to her, her heart beat wildly again.

Shen Tinglu stood still in front of them, casually buttoned the golden buttons of the sleeves of his shirt, and said casually, "Leave now, you will die."

What he said was already in their expectation.

After all, they are not familiar with the place here, and they just escaped by luck this time.

Once caught by those people, the consequences will definitely be even more tragic.

Du Ruize pursed his lips, and took a step forward, "This incident happened because of me, I will go and talk to those people in person."

"No." Ming Xi immediately vetoed, "It's too dangerous for you."

"But other than that, we have no other way out." Du Ruize looked serious.

Shen Tinglu put on his suit jacket, glanced at him lightly, "Come with me."

Du Ruize was taken aback, and looked up to see him entering the study.

Thinking of Shen Tinglu's rescue just now, he finally followed.

Seeing the two of them entering the study one by one, Ming Xi hesitated and wanted to step forward, but before she could take a step, the door of the study was already closed by them.

She had to froze in place, thinking about what had happened in the past two days, frowning uncomfortably.

In the huge study room, only one lamp was turned on.

In the dim environment, Du Ruize's mood was relieved.

Shen Tinglu poured himself a glass of red wine, took a sip, and casually shook the goblet, "Tell me everything you know."

Du Ruize knew that he owed him a great kindness from the moment he saved them.

He nodded and said, "Okay."

Immediately tell a quick story about everything you have experienced.

At the end, Shen Tinglu's face was covered with haze, and he murmured: "Huo Chengzhou?"

"I saw this name on a document by accident, but I'm not sure if it's his real name." Du Ruize looked up and looked at him curiously, "Do you know him?"

Shen Tinglu drank the red wine in the glass, and instead of directly answering his words, he ordered: "I'll take care of this matter. In the next few days, you find a way to make Mingxi stay here."

Du Ruize's expression was complicated, "I know you are protecting her, but her character..."

"No matter how difficult it is, these are problems that you need to solve, and you don't need to tell me." The man put down his glass, exuding a strong sense of control.

Du Ruize sighed softly, "I understand, I will try my best to convince her."

He opened the study door and left.

The study was quiet again, Shen Tinglu sat down at the desk, and took out a yellowed photo album from the cabinet.

He opened the album, and the first photo was a group photo of two boys.

Shen Tinglu stared at his youthful face in the photo, and there were dots of smiles on his face.

When his eyes moved to another boy in the photo, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The man stretched out his hand, and lightly brushed the boy on the photo with his fingertips, his thin lips parted slightly, and his voice was cold, "Huo Chengzhou, I haven't seen you for ten years, but you are finally back."

In the living room, Ming Xi watched Du Ruize come out, and asked curiously: "What did he talk to you about? Who is the person who ordered you to do all this? Does he know that person?"

Listening to her series of questions, Du Ruize's face became a little more helpless.

She still cared about him after all.

Shen Tinglu is destined to occupy a special place in her heart.

"Just a brief chat." Thinking of the man's orders, Du Ruize's expression became serious, "I have asked Ru Shuang to take her father into hiding, and all we can do next is to stand still and look at those people What else are you going to do?"

"Then should we return to China now, or continue to stay in country C?" Jiang Mengyue asked Ming Xi for advice.

Ming Xi looked around the luxuriously decorated living room, without the slightest nostalgia on her face, "Although there is safety everywhere, we don't know much about country C, so it's safer to go back to China first."

Shen Tinglu came out of the study, just in time to hear her words.

There was no emotion on his face, as if he had already guessed that she would never choose to stay here.

Du Ruize scratched his head, "But, I think it's good for us to stay here for the time being."

"Rui Ze, how do you say that?" Ming Xi was a little surprised.

In her perception, Du Ruize has a very aggressive personality and had a bad relationship with Shen Tinglu before. She also blamed herself for this incident, and it is unlikely that she would choose to stay in Shen Tinglu's territory.

After all, in this way, the man was too burdened.

"I was negligent about the previous things. If I could have considered your situation more, maybe you would not have encountered so many dangers." Du Ruize looked solemn, "Ming Xi, let's stay here for a few more days. If What danger did you encounter when you went out this time, then I will—"

He finished with sad eyes.

Ming Xi knew that he blamed himself for the matter, and felt very uncomfortable.

But she promised before that she would not make any more trouble for Shen Tinglu.

The butler came over at this moment, "Misters and ladies, dinner is ready, you go to eat first."

Du Ruize restrained his thoughts, and pushed Ming Xi and Jiang Mengyue towards the restaurant, "Let's go."

Ming Xi and Jiang Mengyue looked at each other, then walked to the restaurant helplessly.

Shen Tinglu had already sat down at the dining table, and there were rich delicacies on the table.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head, and his gaze landed on Ming Xi accurately.

Ming Xi lowered her head uncomfortably when he saw her.

Du Ruize coughed lightly and said, "Boss Shen, for the next period of time..."

"Those people are obviously here for me this time, but the matter involves you. I hope you can stay here cooperatively and provide me with more useful information." After Shen Tinglu finished speaking, he continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

Ming Xi sat down with them, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times, feeling warm in his heart.

After eating and drinking enough, they felt that their energy had finally recovered.

They were getting up to leave when a young woman entered the restaurant.
