Chapter 75

When Qing Li left the manor, the setting sun had just landed under the mountain, the afterglow gave a layer of golden edge to the mountains and forests, she ran out more than ten kilometers in one breath, she couldn’t help but look back, the mountain where Yue Zhi was backed by the light, the darkness of the darkness.

She ran four hours of mountain road, at midnight to leave the rainforest, reached a small town in the Malaysian state of Johor, she rested on a park bench overnight, woke up at five o’clock in the morning when the sky began to gray and bright, went to buy a ticket, want to use this way to move to another city with an international airport.

But before anyone could leave, they saw the news of Kanojin’s kidnapping.

She jumped out of the car and squatted down on the side of the road, her eyes staring at the road listlessly, until more and more cars were coming and going and it was getting light, then she stood up on her numb legs and called Lance.

“Lance, I may not be able to make it over there.”

“What’s going on! You’ve been running out, planning this for days, why are you suddenly giving up?” Lance was shocked, but still asked patiently.

“My brother is still in Yue Zhi’s hands, I can’t ignore him, really provoke Yue Zhi, he won’t care if my brother lives or dies.” Qing Li calmly stated the fact that she realized only now, “You will know it when you watch the news.”

“You wait for me this moment to see …… I shit! Damn,I told you that he is not a good thing, only you blind will look at him, he is obviously intentionally do it to you, is a trap ah, you do not fall for it.” Lance advised.

“I know, but I can’t risk it with Ganojin.” Aonashi said, “I have no other choice but to go back.”

Lance couldn’t think of a good solution for a moment, he wanted to persuade Aonashi, but he couldn’t let the other party really just leave his brother alone, “If you compromise and go back this time, it’ll be more difficult to be free in the future.”

Qing Li didn’t know, she could only console herself, “There will always be a chance, and I didn’t run out to leave him, just to try to find my father on your side.”

Leaving Yue Zhi was just the process, not the purpose, she thought that if it wasn’t because she learned that Valenkyo was still alive, even though she couldn’t face Yue Zhi without any hard feelings like she used to after all these things that happened with Yu Hep Mei and Singota, she probably wouldn’t have wanted to leave because just like what Yue Zhi said, she had no place to go.

Even this time, she found Valenkyo, to see him, the two of them to talk about the past events about her mother, she would eventually return to Yue Zhi.

Making up her mind about things that did not achieve the desired result, she had vaguely expected it inwardly, even her regrets were mitigated by a few points, in the end how could it be so easy to escape from Yue Zhi.

“There will always be a chance.” She murmured once more, “Lance, thank you for helping me so relentlessly, my father’s matter, I still need to trouble you to continue investigating.”

Lance sighed, “Don’t be in a hurry to go back, go to Johor Harbor, I asked the person who went over to pick you up to bring you something, it’s a photo album given to me by your cousin’s uncle, there are pictures of your parents on it, there’s no way for me to send it in for you when you go back, so you can take it before you go back.”

“Good.” Qing Li went back to buy another ticket to Johor Harbor.

For four hours, she changed two Chinese buses and finally arrived at Johor Harbor, finding Pier Thirty-Six according to Lance’s message, and then there she saw a familiar car with the rear window open, and West Pole sitting in it, playing a game as usual.

Qing Li even had a moment of trance, as if she had finished her mission and her teammates had come to pick her up.

Xiji looked up at her when he heard footsteps, his expression calm, “Interesting?”

Qing Li didn’t say anything, she looked around and didn’t see the person she wanted to see.

“You’re looking for this?” Xiji flashed the photo album in his hand, “Get in the car.”

Aonashi looked at the photo album with yellowed edges and a sense of age, stood still and looked at the ocean in the distance of the harbor, but finally came to the car, opened the trunk and dumped her backpack in, and sat down next to Xiji.

“It was Lance’s father who told us the news that it was a lot closer from the estate instead.” Saiji said.

Contacting Lance’s father was indeed a tactic Yue Zhi would use, Qing Li nodded, “Give me the photo album.”

Xiji handed it to her and told the driver to set off, giving Yue Zhi a report on the situation himself.

In his opinion, Yue Zhi was itching to immediately appear in Johor Harbor to bring Qing Li back, but perhaps for fear that he would do something irreversible when he saw Qing Li, Yue Zhi only asked him to come and pick up the person, which was also considered to be quite restrained, obviously so angry that he didn’t sleep for the whole night.

“Hey, Yue Zhi, the person received, well.”

Yue Zhi was silent for a while, “Take her back first, strengthen the security system, notify everyone that she can’t go in and out of the manor as she pleases right now, and leaving the villa must also be followed by two people.”

“Understood.” Xiji hung up the phone and looked at Qingli.

Qing Li had the photo album flat on his lap and didn’t open it to look at it, leaning his body crookedly against the car door and looking out the window, Xiji couldn’t see his expression.

Come to think of it this was the first time the two had faced each other since the fallout of the Singo Tower, and the atmosphere was dull and irritating.

“Are you still blaming me for what happened in Singota?” He asked of his own accord.

Qing Li didn’t say anything, just when Xiji thought that she wouldn’t say anything back, she suddenly spoke again, “If you’re the same as Mongoma and the others, you’re in a mercenary relationship with Yue Zhi, you only need to complete the mission and don’t need to think about anything else, then I won’t blame you, you’re just a knife, and if you want to blame, you have to blame the one who stabbed the person with the knife.”

She inclined her head to look at Xiji, “But you’re not, although you’re almost uh completely at his beck and call, your relationship is much freer, you clearly could have refused or stopped it, even if it’s just to persuade him to look into it further and not to hurt people because of speculation, but you didn’t, because to you, Singota is just the same, nothing more than a mercenary for hire, and it’s not worth the hassle. ”

“So you’re right.” Greenleaf looked at him, “I’m blaming you, I don’t want to talk to you, and I don’t want to go back to see Yue Zhi, but I can’t help it, I recognize my incompetence, sitting here, but my emotions, at least, are under my control.”

After saying this, she didn’t say another word, when she arrived at the manor, she hugged the album and got off the car to enter the villa, and didn’t ask a single question about where Yue Zhi had gone, she directly entered her room.

Trying to get rid of the suffocating feeling, she took two deep breaths and cleaned herself up before sitting upright in front of the table and started to look at the photo album, the photos were taken during the same period of time as those given to her by Qing Sudi, but unlike the ones taken by Hansa Qing in order to ask for money from Valentine’s hand, all these photos seemed to have been sent by Valentine’s hand when he was in Southeast Asia with Li Jinwei.

Qing Li didn’t know how to describe it, and she didn’t understand the so-called language of the camera, but she just felt that all these photos had a warm feeling, and the Li Jinwei in them was more relaxed and pleasant.

From the photo of the two of them, Valenkyo and Li Jinwei, to Li Jinwei’s belly hitting the ground day by day, and after that, it became a photo of the three of them as a family.

There was one of Valenkyo holding her who was still a tiny baby, rubbing her tender cheeks with his own face with a smile on his face, while Li Jinwei just smiled and watched them as father and daughter.

Tears snapped and fell, Qingli cried as she smiled and laughed, it was a shame that one didn’t have memories of infancy, so there was no way for her to recollect the happiness and warmth that was so rare and true at that time.

Wait a little longer, I hope her father can wait a little longer, she will definitely find a way to find him, so that they can be reunited as father and daughter.

Qing Li was back again after a total of twenty hours before and after her escape, but Yue Zhi, who was mad about it, was not there, and she didn’t ask, instead she opened her cell phone, which had been switched off all the time, and dialed Gano Zhen’s number.

Ga Nuo Zhen was very guilty, “I’m sorry Sister, it’s all because of me.”

“Don’t say this, it’s because I was ill-considered and didn’t think of your problem.” Or maybe she still underestimated Yue Zhi too much, “How are you, where are you now?”

“In the dormitory.” Ganojin sighed, “After getting your news from Lance’s father he sent me back, the wound on my face just looked scary, I didn’t even need to stitch it up, the doctor looked at it and bandaged it up, saying it shouldn’t leave a scar.”

“That’s good.” Qingli was relieved.

“Sister ……” Kanojin hesitantly said, “Don’t give up ah, Yue Zhi is too dangerous, this is not really free at all, we can’t go on like this, do you understand?”

“I know, just stop thinking about this.” Qing Li instructed him a few more times before hanging up the phone.

Yue Zhi stayed over in Singapore for three days, he listened to the reports of Qing Li’s situation every day, but he didn’t know how to face her.

If Qingli quarreled with him, resented him and said she would leave him sooner or later, how should he react?

He would have hated to remove her limbs and tie her up so that she would never be able to leave for the rest of her life.

But what he wants is not that kind of Qing Li, but the Qing Li who is cool and affectionate, reticent and gentle, who loves him and likes him, and wants to be with him forever.

Yue Zhi sat in the office smoking one after another, want to pretend that everything did not happen intention and violent to give Qingli a little lesson intention in his heart rolled back and forth, so that his violent desire to vent in the continuous accumulation, hate to blow up the world.

Liang Jin had never seen such a Yue Zhi, he would actually use his love so deeply that he would be torn and sway because he was afraid of hurting the other party or worsening the relationship between the two of them, Qing Li had indeed become Yue Zhi’s weakness.

Yue Zhi didn’t want to hurt Qing Li because of uncontrollable emotions, but eventually he had to go back to face it, so on the third day he asked Liang Jin to send him back to the manor.

When he went in he first went to Qing Li’s room, but after standing at the door for a while, he ultimately didn’t go in.

After changing his clothes, he went straight to the dining room, where the cook had been informed that dinner was already ready.

“Go tell her to come down for dinner.” Yue Zhi said with a sullen face.

The cook fearfully went upstairs, Qing Li had no need to make things difficult for her, but she obediently followed downstairs, but she didn’t raise her head to look at Yue Zhi from the time she entered the dining room to the time she sat across from him.

Yue Zhi’s teeth were tight, looking at Qing Li’s indifferent face, trying his best to hold back his anger, “Serve the food.”

The cooks and maids hurriedly set up a table full of prepared meals.

Yue Zhi’s nose puffed out a rush of breath, trying his best to act as if nothing had happened, as long as Qing Li came back it would be fine, “Eat, it’s all your favorites.”

Qing Li raised her eyes to look at the meal in front of her, raising her hand she knocked a small crystal bowl with fruit on the side to the ground, she finally looked towards Yue Zhi, her eyes bored and icy, “I told you, I won’t eat these anymore.”

Yue Zhi couldn’t stand her sight and inclined his head to look at the mess on the floor, it was a plate of peeled and cut oranges, the favorite of that Qing Li once.

He pursed his lips, his chest rose and fell twice, but in the end, he still did not snap, and looked to the trembling cook at the side, “It’s me who forgot to say, clean it up, and don’t serve citrus in the future.”

Surprised at his patience, Qingli couldn’t help but look at him, their eyes met again, and each saw something in the other that seemed to never be undone.

“Still so capable of disguise.” Aonashi sneered.

As expected, there was no way for her to pretend that everything hadn’t happened, she had clearly been angry with Yue Zhi the whole time.

Yue Zhi put down his knife and fork with a “snap” and looked at Qing Li, “You’d better not be like this, while I’m still willing to disguise myself, you should be lucky, otherwise not only is it Gano Zhen, there are still a lot of things I can pinpoint you with, you don’t want to know.”

Sure enough, there was no way he could play the gentle lover anymore, mutual torture or not, he was never going to let go.
