Mr. Manager, please take your seat

It was already dark outside, the street lights downstairs in the hospital were all on, and there were still people and patients walking in twos and threes.

Rong Jingxi stopped the car in a hurry and trotted to the inpatient department. Lin Shiqi was driven by her nervousness and did not dare to relax, so she took her bag and followed closely.

When he opened the door of the ward, the only thing he saw was Rong Chenyi on the bed, the other bed was empty.Rong Jingxi couldn't calm down, just turned around, and saw Yun Jin who was standing shoulder to shoulder with Mu Ning at the other end of the corridor.

Yun Jin, who was walking and talking with Mu Ning, was stunned when she saw her daughter suddenly appearing, and asked strangely, "Xiaoxi? Why are you here?"

"Xiaoxi! Slow down, I won't be able to keep up with you, your parents are..."

Lin Shiqi followed her out of breath, seeing Yun Jin immediately swallowed the remaining half of the sentence, and shifted her gaze to Mu Ning, "Why are you here?"

"What's so strange, I have nothing to do after get off work, so I stopped by Auntie's." Mu Ning raised her eyebrows, "It's you who suddenly appeared in the middle of the night."

She knew that Rong Jingxi had made an appointment with Lin Shiqi tonight, but how did the two of them end up in the hospital when they reminisced about the old days?

"It's nothing, Shiqi said that she hasn't seen my mother for a long time, so she brought her over to have a look."

Rong Jingxi was much more relieved, and the frowning brows on the way here were completely relaxed.Lin Shiqi knew what she meant, and immediately nodded in cooperation, "Yes, Auntie, I miss you very much."

"You really miss me, why didn't you come earlier?" Yun Jin said angrily, "I was just thinking about playing outside."

"Hey, people are outside, but my heart is still with you," Lin Shiqi smiled sheepishly, "No, I'll come with Xiaoxi as soon as I'm done."

"Okay, I won't embarrass you anymore," Yun Jin patted Lin Shiqi's arm, "You and Ning Ning are also classmates, right? You young people chat first, and I want to clean Chen Yi."

Rong Jingxi looked at Yun Jin with a dazed gaze, and when she heard what her mother said, she immediately followed her, "Mom, I'll help you."

"okay."

Mu Ning wanted to follow in, but was blocked by Lin Shiqi.

When the door of the ward was closed, she said coldly: "Tell me, did you provoke someone to implicate Xiaoxi?"

Mu Ning was puzzled, "Implicated, implicated in what?"

Lin Shiqi sneered, "Don't you know what you have done yourself?"

Offended by the questioning tone, Mu Ning also became rude: "If you have anything to say, you can tell me directly, I don't like others to beat around the bush!"

Even if she would get along with Lin Shiqi peacefully for the sake of Rong Jingxi, it doesn't mean that Lin Shiqi can accuse herself aggressively.

Lin Shiqi pushed the photos in her hands into Mu Ning's arms, "Look for yourself! Someone clipped these photos on Xiaoxi's car window and called her later. I think she must be intimidated to be in such a panic Zhang's came to see Auntie, do you dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Mu Ning opened the photo in surprise, her face immediately turned gloomy, the last time it was a dead mouse, this time it was a candid photo, could it be done by the same person, what is the intention of the other party?

"Is this what you said that you would take good care of her?" Lin Shiqi was furious, "Mu Ning, let me tell you, if something really happened to her tonight, you will have to bear the blame!"

"Are you enough?" Mu Ning interrupted her unceremoniously, "I know you are worried about Xiaoxi, but can you please figure out the whole story before accusing me, you don't know anything at all!"

"What are you two arguing about outside?"

Rong Jingxi exited the ward and closed the door again, still holding a wet towel in her hand, she looked at the two people who were at war with each other in confusion, obviously they were all fine just now.

Lin Shiqi grabbed her arm, "Xiaoxi, tell me the truth, did she cause what happened today?"

Seeing the photo in Mu Ning's hand, Rong Jingxi immediately understood, "Shi Qi, it's none of Ning Ning's business. In fact, it's nothing, I'm just too nervous."

"Excessive nervousness? It's too late if something happens."

Lin Shiqi frowned, "You haven't explained why you were followed and secretly photographed? What happened to me these days, why didn't you tell me!"

"She wanted to tell you, but where were you at that time?"

Lin Shiqi froze after saying a word, opened her mouth and couldn't say anything else.

Mu Ning helped Rong Jingxi sit on the bench by the wall, squatted down and held her hand, and said in a very soft voice, "I know what you are afraid of, your mother, I will ask someone to take care of it of."

Seeing that woman with a hot temper in the past talking to Rong Jingxi in such a gentle voice, Lin Shiqi was disappointed for a while.On the way here, Rong Jingxi's facial expression was always tense, but after Mu Ning said a few brief words, her eyes immediately became lighter, and the two of them stared at each other intently, as quiet as if there was no one around. Others, that is the tacit understanding that can only be cultivated by long-term relationship.

I can still be the person who cares about her the most, but what I can give may never be what she wants.

"It's getting late, I think I'll go back first, and I won't be of much help if I stay here." Lin Shiqi tried her best to adjust her mood, avoiding Rong Jingxi's gaze and looking at Mu Ning, and said calmly: "She will just hand over to you." Here you go."

She is not so great, let alone such a broad mind, she can let the person she loves be intimate with others in front of her eyes, it is even more the same for a narrow-minded woman like Mu Ning, falling in love with the same person will not make them feel sorry for each other, At most, it is to pretend world peace in front of the parties concerned.

Mu Ning was a little strange, why did she suddenly change her attitude and offered to go home if she didn't respond to her aggressive questioning just now?But since she said it, she had no reason to object, and it was just right to leave, and she was too impulsive without asking why, so she couldn't help at all.

Rong Jingxi wanted to stand up, "I'll take you back first."

"How old are you and I have to send it away. Besides, the person who is being threatened now is you and not me." Lin Shiqi held her down and said solemnly: "Miss Mu, I entrust you with the rest, I hope you will handle it well, don't let me What harm will she receive again?"

After saying this, Lin Shiqi turned around and left. Rong Jingxi watched her disappear around the corner, and when she realized that the person beside her was unwell, she turned her face away in surprise.

Mu Ning has lowered her head at this moment, and she can't see the specific expression from this angle, but her tight lips and slightly trembling body leaked her emotions.

The calm just now was only because of Lin Shiqi's presence, but Mu Ning was already going to explode in her heart. Does that bastard dare to threaten her again and again, does he think it's easy to bully?

Rong Jingxi couldn't understand better, she held Mu Ning's shoulder and said comfortingly, "I'm fine."

"You are always like this, you have to say everything is fine, that's why I kept misunderstanding." Mu Ning said with a bit of complaint, "Tell me, what did the people who called you say?"

Rong Jingxi hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "He admitted that he threatened me by sending a package, and also put forward strange conditions, asking me to resign and leave Huidong, otherwise, he would... be rude to the people around me."

"He dares!" Mu Ning interrupted angrily, "If I find out, I will definitely screw that guy's head off!"

She took out her mobile phone and dialed a number, and immediately asked, "How is the matter you asked to investigate?"

The other party seemed to have fallen asleep, and muttered a few words in dissatisfaction. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly let out an ah, and said falteringly, "Mu, Miss Mu, the person you asked us to investigate has no clue yet..."

There is no useful information, and the time given is short and urgent. Asking them to search for a person dressed as a courier is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack. The other party is obviously fully prepared in advance, and the walking route avoids every possible frontal photo of him. The camera didn't even leave a single fingerprint.

"That man is likely to be with us, with strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities..."

"What? Then what's the use of me looking for you people!" Mu Ning was furious, looked up and looked around, then lowered her voice and shouted angrily: "Are you an idiot? Did I ask you to check him? Didn't I ask you to tell me what happened to him? Scouting ability!"

"Miss Mu, how can you talk like that? It's not us..."

Not wanting to listen to the other party's nagging, Mu Ning directly hung up the phone, after thinking about it, she asked Rong Jingxi for that strange number, but she couldn't get through.

"We'll go to the police station tomorrow to report the case and apply for police protection." She frowned impatiently, not wanting to wait any longer. That annoying guy who kept harassing her was like a fly hovering above her head. Can't be at peace.

"Do we need the police to intervene? Are we overreacting?" Rong Jingxi looked at Mu Ning hesitantly, "Maybe this is really a prank..."

"If possible, I really hope this is just a very bad, very bad joke." Mu Ning sat down beside Rong Jingxi, met her gaze, and raised her hand to gently caress her slightly pale face under the light , "Whether you are sensitive or overreacting, I only care about whether you will get hurt."

The tenderness and worry in those eyes warmed Rong Jingxi and relieved her uneasiness.

"I'm more worried about you and my parents than this."

She said lightly, resting her head on Mu Ning's shoulder, there was a familiar fragrance and temperature.Once there is a loss in life, it will inevitably touch the memory. There are not many things she can care about. She can't accept the second blow, just like the accident of her father many years ago.

Mu Ning hugged her with pity, she understood Rong Jingxi's mood, when her family was going through a huge change, she was not by her side, how much fear and helplessness did she endure alone?Even if it is not mentioned, it must be a dull pain in my heart that cannot be fully healed.I have missed it, this time, no matter what happens, I will never go away.
