Chapter 404: Chapter 405 Apology
Chapter 405 Apology
Thinking that Ziyuan might have questions for , I had lunch with Ziyuan in the company’s cafeteria. I thought she would ask what I had been doing in the past few days, or what my relationship with Mo Fei was, or at least, she would ask what happened in the Moon Valley… but surprisingly, her topic was almost all around Zhu Danchen’s elentary school, as if she didn’t even know what happened to Liu Xiaosheng, and when I answered her question, she seed absent-minded, seemingly uninterested in my answers.
I felt like I could not understand her more and more…
I heard that Liu Xiaosheng had already moved from the ICU to the ordinary ward yesterday. Originally, I had an appointnt with Guo Xiang to go to the hospital to visit him in the afternoon. After all, when the accident happened, I was with him. Not to ntion that if I did not visit him, people might think that I was guilty of sothing, and it was who caused Liu Xiaosheng to be injured. So, all things considered, I should at least visit him a few tis.
Guo Xiang said that he would pick up from Fengchang, I thought he would co over alone, but when he appeared, he was with Xingyu. As soon as she saw , the first thing she did was crying. It startled into thinking that Liu Xiaosheng had died in the hospital…
It just happened that there were still many people in the company. When my colleagues saw a young girl holding my arms crying, and there was a mature man standing behind her, they subconsciously thought that I had abandoned the girl, and now the girl brought her elder brother to the company to ask for an explanation.
Because of my ambiguous relationship with Liusu and Mo Fei, other people in the company had already made up their minds about what kind of person I was; therefore, even if I wanted to explain to them that it was not what they thought was, no one would believe . So I hurriedly pulled them downstairs and sat down in a nearby cafe.
“Elder Brother Nan, I’m sorry…” After drinking half a glass of ice water and collecting herself, Xingyu finally stopped crying and said.
‘Sorry?” I was dazed? Only a mont later did I figure out why she was crying, “Phew, you scared the hell out of , I thought you elder brother di… Ahem, I thought you wanted to bla for what I did to your elder brother. See? My hands are still shaking.”
I knew my joke was not funny. Even if Liu Xiaosheng really died, I would not feel sad, but I would certainly feel sorry for Xingyu. Unlike her Elder Brother, she was very kind.
“He… I don’t want to talk about him now,” Xingyu wiped the tears from her face and said, “Elder Brother Nan, I am here to apologize to you on behalf of him. I know it is very difficult for you to forgive him, and I shouldn’t even make this kind of request… but I’m his younger sister, and no matter how bad he is, he is still my elder brother… so I can only beg you…”
“Beg ?” I was confused. Scratching my head, I asked, “Xingyu, what are you talking about? I didn’t understand anything you just said.”
Xingyu held my hand and said, “Elder Brother Nan, I’m begging you, please don’t press charges against my elder brother!”
“Press charges against him?” I was even more confused, “Why would I want to press charges against your elder brother?” Although Liu Xiaosheng didn’t try to save when the wolf attacked , in the end, he was the one who suffered the serious injury. I only hoped that he wouldn’t use this excuse to cause trouble to , why would I want to press charges against him? After all, it was not a cri not to save soone, right? At most, people would only scold him for having no humanity…
Xingyu pouted her mouth and her eyes teared up again, “He, He almost got you killed…”
I was dazed, realizing that the problem was not as simple as I had imagined. I looked at Guo Xiang, who was ashad and angry, and asked, “What’s going on?”
Guo Xiang put his arm around Xingyu’s shoulder, trying to comfort her. Hearing what I said, he replied with a wry smile, “Before we entered the hunting park that day, do you still rember that Liu Xiaosheng spilled a bottle of drink on you?”
“Mhm, Min Rou even asked for my clothes and the remaining half of the drink…” Halfway through replying, a guess suddenly flashed past my mind. “Is there really sothing wrong with that drink? !” I asked in a shocked tone.
Hearing what I asked, Xingyu felt even more ashad. She hid her face in Guo Xiang’s arms, not daring to look at . Guo Xiang lowered his head to look at crying Xingyu and said while shaking his head, “Xiao Nan, you may have saved my life. If we didn’t bump into you in the Moon Valley that day, the one that is lying in the hospital would’ve probably been … I might’ve been lying in the mortuary house now.”
Guo Xiang didn’t seem to be joking at all. I anxiously asked, “What exactly is going on?”
“Miss Min found the remaining half of the drink and took your shirt to the lab. The result showed that in that drink, it was actually mixed with… wolf urine.”
“Wolf urine? !” I still didn’t realize the true intention of Liu Xiaosheng imdiately and said with shock, “He actually wanted to drink that disgusting stuff? !”
Guo Xiang said with a stern voice, “He didn’t want you to drink it, he wanted to splash it on your body.”
“Why?”
“I heard that there are many wild cals living in the desert in Kuwait. They often appeared on highways in the past, posing a great threat to traffic safety. Because wild cals are protected animals and people can’t kill them, soone ca up with a thod to drive away those cals, and that is to spray wolf urine on the highway. As a result, there are no longer any wild cals on the highway. They have a very sensitive sense of sll, they can even sll water from a few kiloters away let alone the sll of wolves’ urine. They will instinctively think that it is a place where wolves are residing, so naturally, they will avoid it…”
Guo Xiang said with lingering fear, “Wolves are canines, their sense of sll is stronger than that of a wild cal. In addition, they are gregarious animals. So if the wolf in the park slls of its companions, what do you think will happen?”
“It will… trace the sll and find …” My heart sank almost to the bottom of my feet. I swallowed and asked, “You an, Liu Xiaosheng wanted the wolf to attack ?”
Guo Xiang nodded, “Fortunately you kept following him in the park and didn’t act alone, so when the wolf found you, it also found Liu Xiaosheng…”
‘Damn this Liu Xiaosheng! No wonder he wanted to get rid of so badly at that ti! It turned out that he knew the wolf would trace the sll and found first, so it was very dangerous to stay with …’ Now I understood why the wolf only chased instead of Liu Xiaosheng at that ti! But…
“The wolf was originally chasing , but it later changed its target and attacked Liu Xiaosheng, so that wolf urine didn’t seem to be very useful.”
“Wolves are not stupid animals, in its eyes, there is no difference between you and Liu Xiaosheng after it discovered you two.” Guo Xiang sighed and carried on, “Liu Xiaosheng thought that he was safe because it was chasing you, so he sneaked back to the tree to get the gun down. But before he was able to climb up, the wolf suddenly jumped out and bit his leg…
“I’ve asked a friend who works as a manager at a zoo and learned that wolves have a very keen insight. They are extrely patient when hunting their prey, and they are very specific about their prey. They can spend a long ti following their prey without getting tired at all.
“Moreover, wolves can distinguish between strong and weak. You said you were holding a hatchet at the ti, so it was impossible for it to not realize that you are more dangerous than Liu Xiaosheng. Therefore, the wolf was not necessarily chasing you at the ti. It was most likely trying to separate you from Liu Xiaosheng. If you hadn’t rushed over bravely, Liu Xiaosheng probably would….”
Although when I confronted the wolf, I could feel that it was very smart, I still didn’t expect that it would be smart to this extent…
I didn’t know what to say to Guo Xiang. I grabbed the water glass and gulped it down, but still couldn’t extinguish the flas of anger within . I didn’t know what I was mad at. Was I mad at Liu Xiaosheng who wanted to harm ? Or was I angry at the fact that I was actually fooled by an animal?
At this ti, Xingyu took a check from her bag and pushed to slowly, “Elder Brother Nan…”
“What’s this? Hush money?”
Seeing looking at her coldly, Xingyu trembled all over in fear like a frightened little lamb. Even if I knew that she was the younger sister of Liu Xiaosheng, I still couldn’t get mad at her. Holding back my anger, I said in a slightly calm tone, “Is this your idea or your family’s idea?”
“My…” Xingyu lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I know Elder Brother Nan would think that this is an insult to you. But… I really don’t know what else I can do… My parents only have one son, and I only have one brother, Elder Brother Nan. I’m begging you, can you forgive my elder brother? I know he is a bad and despicable person. But he is still my elder brother…”
Guo Xiang took the check from Xingyu’s hand and pushed it to . He then got up, walked back two steps, and bowed to , “Xiao Nan, please take it, this is the Liu family’s idea. They know you wouldn’t forgive them if they ca here, so they asked Xingyu to do it. Xingyu is also in a difficult position. I’m sorry, Xiao Nan. We know we are asking too much, but…. we can only beg you…”
Seeing the man she loved bowing to in front of so many people, Xingyu couldn’t stop crying. She also got up and bowed to like Guo Xiang, attracting the attention of all the people in the cafe.
I was clearly the victim of this incident, but now it looked like I was the bad guy…
I looked down at the check. It was five million… It turned out that Liu Xiaosheng’s reputation was really expensive. Mo Yizhi donated five million to build a school, but the Liu family spent five million just to save their face. From this point of view, it seed that the Liu family was much richer than the Mo family.
