Chapter 60

Qing Li knew the rules, so she didn’t ask much, “Can I have one of these?”

Singhota turned back slightly but stopped without turning to an angle where he could see her, as if he was just looking at her with his afterglow, “…… Sorry, this is still useful.”

Qing Li then put the small silver cube the size of a grain of rice back into the self-sealing bag, “Singhota, is there any juice, water will do.”

Singhota “hmmm”, carrying the coffee over, put down a bottle of orange juice in front of her.

Qing Li looked at the bottle, imported almost nothing to add the original pulp juice, drink it than freshly squeezed less sour, “This is quite good, you do not never drink drinks?”

Singhota took a sip of coffee, “Someone else sent a box, you still do not go back?”

“Why kick me out? It’s nothing anyway, you let me stay for a while.” Qing Li followed his example and sat on the carpet hugging her legs, resting her chin on her knees and said.

She didn’t know where Yue Zhi was at the moment, but there was a feeling that she didn’t want to go back, and she didn’t know where she could go besides here.

“Then you stay.” Singhota started playing the game.

“Qi Yuyu kidnapped me just to humiliate me, so that I can carry the shame, ashamed to see people, no matter what part of the world, as if the bullying of a woman is to humiliate her body, so that she has no face to live, carry the name of the curse to be able to do, I hate this way, so I hate her.” Qing Li was silent for a while and began to say to herself.

“But I realized today that Yue Zhi used the same way to get back at Qi Yu Yu, letting her be gazed at, talked about, ridiculed, letting her lose her dignity and pride, losing her face.” Qing Li lowered her eyes and looked at the ground, “He did this for me, in Qi Yu Yu’s eyes, this is equivalent to me doing this, so what exactly is the difference between me and her? If it was me, it would be more of a relief to simply beat her up and break a few of her bones.”

Singota didn’t say anything, his hands kept tapping on the keyboard, maneuvering the character on the screen to fight and kill, but Aonashi knew he was listening.

“Am I being too pretentious, too hypocritical?” Aonashi muttered, she wasn’t some good person with clean and unblemished hands, she was also one of the mercenaries who carried human lives and blood on her back . Soldier, generating such thoughts was simply the same as a cat crying.

“No.” Singhota Jedi Boss, looking up at her, “Only because you still retain your humanity and ego, we are all weapons without good or evil anymore, and you are still you, a person named Aonashi.”

Aonashi opened and closed her nostrils a few times quickly, letting out a breath that sounded like a sob and rubbing her eyes, “I think I’m about to become a competent weapon, I’ve learned to ignore a lot of problems.”

In the matter of Yu Hemei, she would still argue with Yue Zhi for a couple of sentences, in the matter of Qi Yu Yu, she had already realized that it was useless to argue and did not intend to bring it up with Yue Zhi.

“This is also quite good.” Singhota said, took a cigarette and took a drag, “People are supposed to be very entangled animals, thinking too much is just making yourself suffer, it’s better to be numb.”

Qing Li looked at him and held out his hand, “Give me one.”

Singhota raised an eyebrow and threw her a cigarette.

Qing Li held it between her lips, “Lighter.”

Singhota looked at her for a second, leaned forward over his body and lit Aonashi’s cigarette with his own, his light golden eyelashes were nearly white, a stark contrast to Aonashi’s raven-feathered lashes, white and black, as if the middle was a churro.

Qing Li froze for a moment, but still closed his eyes and inhaled deeply, then skillfully exhaled a circle of smoke.

Rao was as calm as Singhota was a bit surprised, “You know how to smoke?”

“I learned it when I was in Indonesia, those servant-workers of the Qing family would always gather together to smoke rolled cigarettes in the evening after work, both men and women smoked it, and it was mixed with the dried leaves of an unknown plant, it was bitter and spicy.”

Her expression became a little vacant, and her gray eyes went a little out of focus as she remembered life in Indonesia, obviously not many years ago, but it seemed like a lifetime ago.

Singota gave her a deep look and lowered his eyes, “It’s always better now than then, don’t think too much about it.”

“Singota, what about your family, do you have a lover?” Qing Li knew that Singota didn’t have any family, born in Oslo, Norway in 1994, and was actually only twenty-seven years old this year, but other than that it was all unknown.

“Back in 2011, there was a terrorist . . attack in the city center when a man named Anders used a car . . bomb that killed nine people, and when the police were slow to arrive, he ran off to go on a killing spree on the nearby island of Utøya, which was hosting a summer camp at the time, and sixty-nine people died, the vast majority of them teenagers, including my brother and sister.”

“Anders was only sentenced to a maximum of twenty-one years in prison, my parents got very depressed over the incident and turned on the gas in their house and self . . killed themselves, I was seventeen at the time and in college in London.”

Singota finished recalling the first half of his life in a few sentences, and he didn’t know whether it was calm or indifferent, without much expression.

Qing Li did not expect that Singota also had such a tragic past, for a moment he did not know what to say, and did not know who was more pitiful between the two, “Don’t think about the past, think about the future, if you are not here anymore, what do you want to go do in the future?”

“Become a fisherman, Norway that country is not good, but the sea is good, you can hit tuna and all kinds of seafood.” Singhota tilted his head in thought.

Greenleaf smiled, “I’ll be sure to visit you then, I kinda like seafood, do you make it yourself?”

Singota smiled back, “Yeah, I’ll learn to make it myself.”

The air fell silent again, as if each had something on their mind, and both of them stopped talking in unison.

“Go back, Saiji’s been calling for you in the group for half an hour.” Singhota shook his cell phone.

When Qing Li looked at it, Xiji had Ait’d her a bunch of times in the group that all of them were in, and the ones who hadn’t been on a mission had said they hadn’t seen her.

She hurriedly pulled out her own cell phone and realized that it had died and automatically shut off at some point.

Singhota had just replied “Qingli is here with me” when Xiji’s call came over, “Lawless, dare to play missing without reporting your whereabouts, give her the phone!”

“I’m sorry, my phone ran out of battery, but I sent a message to sir that I rode my motorcycle back to the manor.” Aonashi explained.

Xiji was too lazy to listen to this, “We just got back as well, Yue Zhi was injured a bit, come over quickly and take a look, he’s preening like a young lady, the woodpecker was so angry that he had to give him two shots of tranquilizers, and was already on the verge of a fight.”

Qing Li could imagine what kind of chaotic situation it was when she heard him say that, “Okay, I’m on my way.”

Hanging up the phone she hurriedly said goodbye to Singhota and ran all the way back to the manor, her heart constantly gripped, how could she be injured, is it hard to finally tear her face off with Li Chaoke?

Just stepped out of the elevator, can hear West pole and woodpecker two can be called the most cranky people there shouting and quarreling with each other.

West Pole: “Didn’t you just say you were going to give him two shots to knock him out, I’m not going to stop you anymore, so why don’t you just stick a needle in him!”

Woodpecker: “Why don’t you come, he’s the boss and you’re the boss, you really think I’m stupid!”

West Pole: “What’s the difference between you and a fool, take a scalpel really consider yourself a human being?”

Woodpecker: “If you say that again, do you believe that I will now cut your crotch. I’ll cut off your crotch right now!”

“I’m more than two taels ……”

“All get the hell out!” Yue Zhi’s suppressed low roar rang out, finally causing the two to successfully shut up.

Qing Li pushed open the door and entered, taking in the scene before her.

Yue Zhi was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, the clothes on his upper body were off, his shoulder and half of his chest were stained with blood, a bloody hole suspected to be a gunshot wound was open on his shoulder, it hadn’t been bandaged up yet, and there was some hemostatic powder on it that had been soaked in blood.

She has never seen Yue Zhi like this, momentarily heartbroken unable to move, chest lit up a fire of anger, like it is going to explode, she really hated to immediately rushed to kill Li Chaoke, so that Yue Zhi will no longer have any worries, and do not have to do those things against the will.

“Ah Li ……” Yue Zhi looked at Qing Li standing in the doorway, lifted his right hand that could move, his voice was weak, sounded aggrieved and pitiful, “Come over.”

Qing Li walked over step by step, half kneeling on the bed, looking at his wounds, want to hug him but afraid of touching the pain of him, “Who did it, what’s going on?”

Yue Zhi, however, didn’t care as he wrapped an arm around her waist, burying his entire self into her arms, “Where have you been?”

“It’s all my fault, I should have gone with you, I didn’t protect you.” Qingli blamed herself.

Xiji rolled his eyes in dismay, “I didn’t even block it if I went, you going is just more heads, don’t say so much, you hold him down, the bullet is still in there, he’s not going to the hospital, the peckerwood is already pissed off.”

“I’ll stay with you, you be good.” Qing Li knelt on the bed and wrapped her arms around Yue Zhi, almost enveloping his entire body.

Woodpecker was ready, “He doesn’t want general anesthesia, he might still feel a little bit, you mustn’t let him move around.”

Qing Li nodded, she remembered that Yue Zhi had said before that total unconsciousness was a dangerous thing for him, so he never accepted full anesthesia.

Despite the local anesthesia, the bullet went in very deep, the removal process could not help but tug on the nerves, several times Qing Li felt Yue Zhi’s muscles tense up in pain, she could only kiss his forehead or keep rubbing his head, expecting to use this as a way to ease his pain.

Woodpecker was already very used to dealing with this kind of gunshot wound, so he quickly removed the bullet, stitched up the wound and tied up the bandage, Yue Zhi’s cold sweat soaked the bed sheets, and he fell asleep just after the operation.

Qing Li helped Yue Zhi change the sheets and pajamas with the help of Xiji and Liang Jin, then stood guard next to him waiting for him to wake up.

Only she and Yue Zhi were left in the bedroom, she walked over to the desk, and sure enough, she saw that the box of the sky-high diamond necklace Yue Zhi gave her on her birthday was still casually thrown inside.

She took out the box and opened it, took out the diamond necklace, and looked at the teardrop shaped pendant carefully, that day before the dinner party, when she received this necklace, she remembered that there seemed to be an extra small joint in the first few links of the chain next to the pendant, which she couldn’t even notice without being careful, and there was a slight bit of asymmetry.

At that time, she thought it was normal, after all, it was an antique necklace, maybe it had been restored in the middle, that’s why there was that extra small joint, but today when she remembered it again, she suddenly felt that that small joint was very much like that mini bug at Singo Tower.

She was still thinking at that time, was Yue Zhi eavesdropping on her, why, that night she was just having a casual conversation with someone she knew, what was there to eavesdrop on?

Now that she took the necklace out again, she realized that the small asymmetry had disappeared, and it was a perfect, flawless, diamond necklace worth more than eight million dollars.

Could it be her illusion? It had been two months, so maybe it really was her memory that was off?

“Ah Li ……”

When Yue Qi opened his eyes, he saw that the desk lamp on the desk was on, while Qing Li was standing there, holding the diamond necklace that shone with excellent fire color, he subconsciously called out Qing Li’s name.

“Sir.” Qing Li put the necklace back into the box and returned to the bedside, “How is it, does the wound hurt, are you hungry, do you want something to eat, I’ll have the kitchen make it.”

“It hurts, not hungry.” Yue Zhi slowly shook his head, “Come over for a hug.”

Qing Li then lay on his uninjured side and snuggled into his arms, “Why is the necklace still here, didn’t you say you’re going to take it and store it?”

Yue Zhi touched her head, “There is a little problem with the connection of the necklace, it was sent to the headquarter in Europe to fix it, and it was only picked up two days ago.”

I see, Qing Li remembered that Menggema did go to Europe with Thomas and the others last week, presumably to pick up this necklace, it turned out that it really wasn’t that she remembered wrongly, nor was it some kind of bug, it was that the necklace did have a little problem.

She breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that there was still something blocking in her heart, she could only force herself to put this bit of abnormality behind her, and ended the topic, “Why did you get hurt, what happened with Li Chaoke?”

Yue Zhi was silent for a while, “Ah Li, I saw Qi Yu Yu today, did she apologize to you?”

Qing Li no longer wanted to ask Yue Zhi why he knew that he had met Qi Yu Yu, he would always know if he wanted to know, so she just nodded her head lightly, “Well, apologized, Shen Jun’s hand was quite heavy, her injuries were not light.”

Yue Zhi gave a satisfied “hmm”, “This time, she has lost her honor, she has lost face in the circle, she probably won’t appear in public for a short period of time.”

Qing Li wanted to say that she didn’t need this kind of revenge, but when she remembered the days when they quarreled and had a cold war because of Yu Hemei, she actually had some heart palpitations, that kind of feeling was painful and tormenting, she really didn’t want to go through it again.

So that’s it, Yue Zhi did all this for her, she shouldn’t throw cold water, shouldn’t be insensitive.

Yue Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at her expression, rubbed the corners of her eyes, “Ah Li ah …… is still too soft hearted.”
