Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Take Off Clothes, Apply dicine Chapter 277: Chapter 277: Take Off Clothes, Apply dicine Yun Lih furrowed his brow, rubbed the throbbing at his temples, and listened to Yun Ling’s nonsensical words with impatience, “What do you an?
Get to the point.”
At that mont, the sound of pages flipping ca from the other end of the line.
Yun Ling explained excitedly, “Brother, you’re still pretending!
Did you already know that Shang Shaoyan was going to attack our headquarters, which is why you transferred all the important Level Three and above docunts to the training camp’s basent in advance?”
“What did you say?” Yun Lih suddenly lifted his eyelids, staring out at the setting sun, his heartbeat speeding up.
Thinking the signal was bad, Yun Ling repeated loudly, “I’m saying, all our important docunts are in the training camp’s basent.
Brother, you’re amazing.”
He’s amazing my ass!
After confirming three tis, Yun Lih hung up the phone with a blank face.
How is that possible?
All the secret docunts of the rcenary Headquarters were in the archives.
At the ti of the explosion, there was no warning.
Even many people inside were injured in the blast; fortunately, none were killed.
But the loss was significant.
In such an urgent situation, there was simply no ti to protect the docunts, as everyone was only concerned with rescuing people.
Who would transfer all the important docunts to the training camp across the street in advance?
It wasn’t just a few docunts that were easy to move; there were thousands of important files Level Three and above.
Seven filing cabinets could not hold them all, yet they had been transferred early.
Yun Lih had been drinking, his head sowhat dizzy, and he felt he might be drunk, otherwise how could he suspect Shang Shaoyan was behind it.
Li Qiao had never been to the rcenary Headquarters and didn’t even know its exact location.
Only Shang Shaoyan had the capability to destroy his building so quietly.
Was it him?
Was it not?
Yun Lih’s thoughts beca more chaotic, and he didn’t even care about his befuddled state, he raised his hand and tossed the beer can onto the passenger seat floor, and decided to head back to Crystal Garden.
He needed to confront Shang Shaoyan face-to-face and find out whether he was involved or not.
Then, Yun Lih sped out of the intersection, and the next second, he was caught red-handed by the traffic police.
Drunk driving plus speeding, co on, let’s go have a cup of tea at the traffic police station.
…
anwhile, in a private room at Canghai Pavilion.
Li Qiao leaned back on the armrest, tilting her face as she scrutinized Shang Yu, “Master Yan, co on, tell , what did you two talk about?”
The man glanced at the Desert Eagle on the table, his lips parting with profound aning, “We talked about how to settle scores.”
With that answer, Li Qiao understood perfectly.
Hmm, this is sothing Yun Lih could have done.
She leaned back in the chair and crossed her legs casually, swinging them slightly, her expression quite cold, “So, letting him point the gun at you, that’s settling scores?
If I hadn’t co back, wouldn’t you have been afraid he’d shoot?”
Yun Lih was not a man of lenient heart and soft hand.
If he truly had the intent to kill, it’s very possible that Shang Yu would be lying flat right now.
Li Qiao wouldn’t mind if they settled their disputes privately, but pulling out knives and guns was going too far.
No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard the man readily nod in agreent, “It seems, the girlfriend has saved my life again.”
Li Qiao: “…”
That statent sounded weird no matter how you heard it.
She completely didn’t believe that Shang Yu would allow soone to be presumptuous in front of him.
Yun Ling had only accepted a job offer, yet Shang Yu had his headquarters blown up with ruthless ans, leaving no room for rcy.
Li Qiao surmised, could it be because of her that he was unusually tolerant towards Yun Lih?
And all along, she had never considered that Yun Lih might hold other thoughts for her.
Because that past relationship, which they had risked their lives for, was in Li Qiao’s eyes the most pure bond forged through life and death.
…
An hour later, Li Qiao and Shang Yu finished eating, and the two sat at the table drinking tea to aid digestion.
Yun Lih had left, and Liuyun had co to report this just before the al started.
Li Qiao didn’t say anything at the ti, she made a phone call, but no one answered.
His departure was inexplicable.
At this mont, soone knocked on the door of the private room.
Li Qiao glanced over indifferently and saw Luoyu walk in with a brand-new dical kit.
She raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at Shang Yu with so astonishnt.
The man arched an eyebrow at her, his thin lips slightly parted, “Apply the dicine.”
Li Qiao blinked and looked down at her clothes.
She was wearing a short casual jacket today, and underneath was…
a round-neck white T-shirt.
If she was to apply dicine, she would have to take it all off.
Li Qiao scratched her head; if she refused, it would surely be in vain, so she just nodded calmly, “Ah, okay.”
Luoyu stood behind her holding the dical kit, so Li Qiao began to undress unhurriedly.
Next, she reached for the hem of her T-shirt, hesitating to lift it, scratching her head now and then, tugging at her ear occasionally—her little movents were peculiarly nurous.
This scene made Luoyu fight back a chuckle.
Shang Yu, anwhile, gently set down his teacup, with a smile tinting his deep-set eyes, and playfully asked Li Qiao, “Why aren’t you taking it off?”
Li Qiao felt a tickle in her throat and the temperature of her body continued to rise.
Facing Shang Yu’s leisurely deanor, she steeled her heart and was about to remove her T-shirt with both hands.
It didn’t matter, after all, she was still wearing sothing underneath, a bra.
However, just as she lifted the shirt to the side of her waist, a rich laugh escaped the man’s lips.
He stopped Li Qiao’s movents and then stood up, lifted her chin, and heavily and intensely kissed her lips, his dark eyes brimming with mirth, “I’ll wait for you in the car.
After you’re done with the dicine, I’ll take you back to the laboratory.”
With these words, the man turned and left the room.
Li Qiao’s hands remained in the motion of lifting her shirt, she paused for a second and then couldn’t help shaking her head.
All this fuss, just to tease her?
At that mont, Luoyu placed the dical kit on the table and looked at Li Qiao with a teasing gleam in her eyes.
“What are you laughing at?” Li Qiao muttered with a straight face, then took off her T-shirt, exposing her snow-white shoulders.
Only, there was a severe bruise on her left shoulder, and being so fair-skinned to begin with, the injury appeared even more shocking.
…
In less than ten minutes, Luoyu had applied a dicinal ointnt for external injuries on Li Qiao and casually handed her two green gourd-shaped dicine vials, reminding her to apply the dicine on ti every day.
Li Qiao thodically stashed them in her pocket, put her clothes back on, and returned to her usual manner.
Before leaving the private room, she stood at the door, turned her head to look at the wall damaged by bullets, and said to Luoyu, “Help ask the manager how the compensation should be handled.”
Hearing this, Luoyu, with one hand holding the dical kit, opened the door for Li Qiao and whispered, “This is the boss’s property, Miss Li doesn’t need to compensate.”
Li Qiao blinked in realization, took a small breath, and muttered while walking away, “Oh, I see…”
Crystal Garden, a place not easily sought after, turned out to be his as well.
That was really…
unexpected.
Back in the parking lot, Li Qiao got into the car with her head down, and upon lifting her eyes to et the man’s profound gaze, she paused and started a conversation to break the silence, “Crystal Garden is yours too?”
“Mhm.” Shang Yu lowered his head to smooth out the wrinkles on his sleeve cuff, tilting his eye corners, his voice llow, “Why?
Thinking about compensation?”
Once Li Qiao was settled, she glanced at him and pretended to consider, pursing her mouth corners, “Mhm, I indeed had that in mind.”
Hearing this, the man slightly tilted his head, pondering as he looked at Li Qiao, then his eyebrows relaxed, and he spoke with an intriguing tone, “Let’s keep it on the tab for now.
In the future…
we’ll settle it together.”
