Chapter 1567: 1566 leaving safely
Although Tan Rou didn’t know why Mrs. Hai Wei’s attitude had changed, she felt they should hurry up and leave while they could; it wouldn’t be good if the lady changed her mind later.
“Thank you for your help.” Before leaving, Tan Rou didn’t forget to thank Mrs. Hai Wei, “It was wrong of us to use your operating room without permission. Next ti, I’ll send this young lady to bring you the treatnt fee.”
Mrs. Hai Wei, however, rejected the offer. She said, “I don’t need that little treatnt fee. If you co just to bring the fee, don’t bother. But if you co for any other reason, you’re always welco.”
Tan Rou smiled and said nothing, as she had no desire to co here again. Indeed, as a mber of the Dawn Society, she exuded an eerie sense from head to toe.
After they left, Mrs. Hai Wei returned to the dining table to continue her breakfast as if everything that had just happened was a plot from a TV drama.
She said, “She is young and very beautiful, and she’s also from your country; I’m sure you would like her.”
Then another voice ca out of her mouth, that of a man. The man said, “No, dear, I don’t like her because the only person I truly love is you.”
Mrs. Hai Wei smiled and said, “If I’m the only person you truly love, then why would you betray ?”
The living room went silent as if her “husband” was really pondering the reason. After a while, the “man” said, “I was just playing with others outside; I wasn’t serious…”
“Liar!” Mrs. Hai Wei suddenly beca furious, screaming hysterically, “They’re all liars! They can all die!”
Tan Rou and Zhuang Liu hadn’t gotten far when they just stepped out of the main door and heard the shouting inside, followed by the sound of plates and tal utensils hitting the floor.
Tan Rou urged, “Let’s hurry up and leave before that lunatic catches up.”
Zhuang Liu said, “Let carry her; you take a break.”
Tan Rou had no objection, “Alright, you carry her while I ask Samiyi for Mia’s family address. We must get her ho now.”
“Okay.” Zhuang Liu picked up Mia. “Strange, why is she sleeping so deeply? We are moving her, and with all this noise, yet she hasn’t woken up.”
Tan Rou lifted Mia’s eyelids and then said, “She is in a deep sleep, probably sedated by soone.”
“Could it be that ani enthusiast we just t?” Zhuang Liu asked curiously.
“What’s an ani enthusiast?” Tan Rou asked. “Never mind, now is not the ti to figure that out, let’s focus on Mia’s condition. Find a shady spot to put her down, and I’ll examine her.”
Zhuang Liu placed Mia in the corner, looking at the scene, Master Zhuang remarked, “I thought of myself as a big shot in the Capital, with cars and planes arranged wherever I went, but ever since I ca here, not only do I have to do everything myself, now I even have to carry people. It’s really tough.”
Tan Rou chuckled and said, “Just take it as experiencing a different kind of life. Actually, I think this kind of life is quite good. In the Capital, we don’t have to worry about anything; my life felt aningless. Here, life is much more exciting.”
“It’s true. Now that I’m here, let’s not dwell on that,” said Zhuang Liu. “Thinking about it, this kind of life does suit young people more, while the life back in the Capital suits those of us in our forties or fifties.”
Tan Rou didn’t respond; she squatted down to check on Mia and found a bruised spot on her arm. Looking closely, there was a tiny needle mark.
“It must have been soone who injected her with a sedative,” Tan Rou said. “It wasn’t or Mrs. Hai Wei, because she was visibly shocked when she saw .”
“Then who could it be?” Zhuang Liu also hadn’t seen anyone else in that house. “It couldn’t be those two cardboard cutouts who injected her, could it?”
“It was Ina.” Tan Rou was very certain. “There were only a few of us in that house; if it wasn’t us, it had to be Ina.”
