With trembling hands, she hung up the phone, paused for just a few seconds, and quickly called back.

Jin Mingzhu reached out to hang up again, but the ringing continued, so she simply turned off her phone.

The more Jin Mingzhu thought about it, the more confused she became. Everything she wanted to hide was no longer possible. She just wanted Xu Yang to leave Beijing safely and live a good life.

Gu Huaijin came up at this moment, and seeing her distraught look, he asked worriedly:

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Jin Mingzhu shook her head and said softly:

"fine."

She looked at her plastered leg thoughtfully and asked casually:

"Gu Huaijin, when will my leg get better?"

The other party was visibly embarrassed and coughed:

"The doctor said it will take another month. You should rest at home during this time."

Gu Huaijin stroked the loose hair on her forehead with extremely gentle movements.

A trace of anger flashed in Jin Mingzhu's eyes. She never wanted to sing this crappy play with Gu Huaijin again.

He frowned slightly, pretending to be in pain:

"Gu Huaijin, my legs hurt, they hurt so much!"

The other party did not suspect her, and his expression was full of tension:

"what happened?"

She didn't answer, but rolled onto the bed, squeezed out a few tears, and kept shouting in pain.

Gu Huaijin was shocked and anxious, so he had to ask Wang Ma to call a doctor.

The doctor came soon and checked, and found nothing abnormal. Seeing that Jin Mingzhu was in pain, he was also a little confused.

She asked the nurse to remove the plaster, and her foot finally saw the light of day again.

"Madam, does it still hurt?" the doctor asked, pressing her feet carefully.

Jin Mingzhu turned her ankle and felt no pain. She just pushed everyone away and stood on the ground.

Pretending to be happy, she looked at Gu Huaijin:

"Honey, look, my feet are healed."

Everyone was shocked. The doctor realized that his conspiracy had been exposed and dared not look directly at Jin Mingzhu, so he turned his face to the other side.

Gu Huaijin's dark eyes showed a rare look of surprise. After a moment of silence, he stepped forward to support her.

"You've recovered well, take some rest."

Seeing that he continued to act without changing his expression or heartbeat, Jin Mingzhu refused to give him this way out:

"But didn't the doctor say I had a bone fracture? Why can't I feel anything at all?"

The doctor suddenly felt ashamed and didn't dare to face her inquiring gaze. He looked at Gu Huaijin as if begging for mercy.

"Maybe the doctor made a wrong diagnosis..." His voice was extremely flat.

The doctor had no choice but to accept the blame:

"Ma'am, it's all my fault. My medical skills are not good enough."

Seeing that Gu Huaijin had completely cleared her name, she resolutely refused to allow it, with a tone of grievance:

"Husband, you said you loved me, but you didn't care about me at all. You let a doctor with poor medical skills treat me and kept me in a plaster cast for so long."

Seeing her complaining look, Gu Huaijin's heart softened and he could only speak:

"Wife, I was wrong."

She threw the plaster on Gu Huaijin in front of everyone and said directly:

"No need to explain, you just don't love me."

After saying that, she ignored everyone who were looking at each other in confusion, went straight upstairs, closed the door and locked it in one go.

Her nervous heart was about to jump out. She was acting out this play with Gu Huaijin today not only to free herself from the confinement, but also to buy time and space for herself. She wanted to sneak out and see Xu Yang.

Gu Huaijin felt guilty and let Jin Mingzhu be angry for the whole day. He thought she would calm down soon, but he was still rejected when he entered the bedroom at night.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Wife."

There was no movement in the house.

He knocked on the door twice again and coaxed in a low voice:

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have lied to you. Let me in, okay?"

The house was still silent.

Just as he was wondering if something had happened to Jin Mingzhu, the violent sound of porcelain hitting the door forced him to take two steps back, and there was also a roar:

"roll!"

Two maids happened to pass by and witnessed the whole process. They couldn't help but smile at each other.

Seeing that he was being laughed at, Gu Huaijin explained awkwardly:

"Madam didn't sleep well and got angry."

He tried to save his dignity:

"Wife, have a good rest. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

He was answered by the sound of something much larger breaking...

After a while, Jin Mingzhu tiptoed to the door of the room. She could no longer hear any sound. She lay down anxiously and looked outside the door to make sure there was no one there.

Gu Huaijin will not come again tonight. She will sneak out to see Xu Yang and come back later. She is worried that Xu Yang will definitely not leave Jingshi after knowing the truth, but she must go.

She changed into some light clothes. Her cell phone had a locator, so she had to leave it in the bedroom and took out a few bills from her wallet and put them away.

It is already 11:30 at night. In another half hour, Shadow will take over. This period of time is the weakest defense.

The bedroom was only on the second floor. Jin Mingzhu took out the prepared rope, fixed it, and slowly descended along the wall to the grass and hid behind the bushes.

Five minutes later, Shadow changed defense on time. At this moment, Jin Mingzhu cleverly hid his body behind the tree and moved forward step by step by taking advantage of the blind spot.

"Nothing." A shadow said with a yawn.

"You still have to be cautious." The other person said, handing over the weapon.

Her body tensed, hoping that the person in front of her would return to his post quickly so that she could slip out unhindered.

Jin Mingzhu was about to squat down when she stepped on fallen leaves. There was a slight "crack" sound, and the shadow immediately woke up, came towards her and asked:

"Who's there?"

She covered her mouth in fear and shrunk herself. Seeing the shadow getting closer and closer, she quickly put her hand to her lips and imitated two bird calls:

"Cuckoo, cuckoo..."

To match the situation, she also gently shook the branches...

"Hey, it turns out to be a bird. I was wondering why no one was talking." Shadow felt relieved and turned to leave.

He winked at the other person, who understood and stared straight ahead.

Her nervous heart fell back into her chest. She was about to get up when a light bulb went off in her head: there should be two people. She only heard the footsteps of one person, and sure enough, a few minutes later, she heard the sound of the other person leaving.

Gu Huaijin's people were as insidious and cunning as he was, and she almost fell into their trap just now.

The backyard was pitch black. With the faint moonlight, Jin Mingzhu found a low wall, ran up and jumped, successfully climbed up the wall and jumped down.

She ran down the road and soon met Qi Qiao who was waiting for her.

The other party opened the car door and let her get in, his expression full of guilt:

"Mingzhu, I'm really sorry that I caused you so much trouble."

Jin Mingzhu shook her head and said softly:

"This secret can't be kept secret, Qiao Qiao, there's no need to say sorry between us."

Qi Qiao responded with red eyes, and the car drove towards Xu Yang's home at the fastest speed.

Entering the familiar community, the car was parked downstairs. Jin Mingzhu looked up and saw the lights in the house were on.
