Chapter 365
The smile in Rongshu’s eyes grew stronger and stronger as she watched his tiny back.
Soon, Doudou came out after washing his hands, and even put his hands out in front of Rongshu to let her see if he had washed them clean.
Only when Rongshu complimented him on how clean he had washed his hands did he happily put them down.
After leaving Tian Sheng, Rongshu drove Doudou back to Repulse Bay with her.
When it was time to cook, she found that there was no soy sauce at home, so she prepared to go downstairs and buy a bottle from the supermarket in her neighbourhood.
Unwrapping her apron, Rongshu walked out of the kitchen and said to Doudou, who was watching TV on the sofa in the living room, “Doudou, I’m going downstairs to buy soy sauce, so stay at home and open the door for me later, okay?”
“Yes, Auntie.” Doudou turned around and answered.
“That’s good.” Rongshu walked towards the entrance.
Doudou also followed her.
After she had changed her shoes, she thought of something and said, “Right, Doudou, whether I ring the doorbell or not, don’t open the door straight away.
In case someone comes to the house while she’s buying soy sauce, she wouldn’t feel comfortable with Doudou as a child.
“Don’t worry auntie, I know.” Doudou stood on the steps of the entrance hall and waved at Rongshu.
Rongshu stroked his little head, opened the door and went out.
After buying soy sauce, it was already darker than when they had come out.
As she carried the bag towards the apartment building, there was no one on the road and it was exceptionally quiet.
At this time of the year, the residents of the neighbourhood were basically at home having dinner, not yet out for a walk.
After walking for a while, Rongshu suddenly felt someone following her.
She couldn’t help but stop and look back behind her.
However, there was nothing behind her, no one was there.
Rongshu frowned.
Was it a wrong feeling?
Without giving it much thought, Rongshu turned her head back and continued on her way, pa*sing this building in front of her again, she would reach the apartment building where she lived.
But after a few steps, the feeling that someone was following her came back.
This time Rongshu knew that it wasn’t that she was wrong, but that someone was really following her, because she heard the sound of footsteps, soft but really there.
Rongshu’s body stiffened and her hands and feet went cold.
But she dared not stop and quickened her steps to move forward, and what she did not expect was that the footsteps behind her also quickened after her.
As she heard the footsteps behind her, they became heavy and hurried.
Rongshu did not know who was following her and what her purpose was, she only knew that it was definitely not good.
And the footsteps were alarmingly loud and frightening.
Rongshu could feel her scalp tingling, her goose bumps rising, her palms sweating as she carried the soy sauce, and her calves shaking with weakness.
She didn’t want to be outside anymore, she just wanted to get into the flat quickly now so she could hide from the people behind her and feel safe.
With this in mind, Rongshu went straight from walking to running, darting towards the apartment building.
But the man behind her was still chasing her, and she could hear him getting closer and closer to her.
She couldn’t outrun that man!
Realising this, Rong Shu panicked completely and cried out for help, “Help, is there anyone Well ……”
Before she could finish her sentence, a stick was raised behind her and then hit her head heavily.
Bang!
After a crisp ringing sound, a sharp pain instantly came from the back of Rong Shu’s head, then her eyes glazed over and she fainted on the spot.
Looking at Rong Shu who had fallen to the ground, the man behind her took a step back as if he was frightened, followed by a loosening of his hand, and a round stick fell to the ground with a clanging sound.
When the man heard the sound, his body went limp and he sat on his buttocks, panting heavily, and his body was shaking slightly.
The man was wearing a hat and mask as well as sungla*ses, covering his hair and face tightly, and he was also wearing wide figure-blocking clothes, and even under his feet, a pair of obviously heightened trainers.
With such a costume, it was impossible to tell whether the person was a man or a woman.
After a few moments, the man seemed to come out of his fear and looked at Rong Shu and said in an androgynous voice “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry ……”
The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
The man dragged Rongshu to the safe stairwell in the flat before releasing her, then closed the door behind him and took a deep breath before taking out a small fruit knife from his jacket pocket.
The man crouched down beside Rongshu and lifted her left hand upwards, before pulling out the knife and slowly reaching for her wrist.
During this time, the man’s hand was trembling slightly, which showed how nervous he was at the moment.
Soon, the tip of the knife was pressed against the red mole on Rong Shu’s wrist.
The man’s eyes closed behind his sungla*ses, then he took a deep breath and stabbed down with a flourish, using the tip of the knife to remove the red mole bit by bit.
This process took the man almost ten minutes.
Only after confirming that the red mole on Rongshu’s wrist was gone, leaving only a bloody patch, did the man breathe a sigh of relief, then picked up the knife sheath, without wiping it, and directly put it away in the sheath, got up and left the place with quick steps.
No sooner had this man left than Rong Shu’s mobile phone rang at the back.
But Rongshu had already pa*sed out, so naturally she wouldn’t answer it.
In the flat, Doudou’s little brow furrowed as she listened to the delayed call on her phone watch.
Only when the phone hung up automatically did he mutter in a small voice, “It’s been so long, why hasn’t Auntie come back yet?”
He had been to the supermarket, just downstairs in the third building, and in the morning, his aunt had taken him to buy milk, so he remembered very clearly that it wasn’t far from here.
It had been so long, his aunt should have come back, but not only had she not come back, she had not even answered her phone, where had she gone?
Thinking about it, Doudou was a bit uneasy and decided to go downstairs to wait and see.
He jumped off the sofa and switched off the TV, grabbed the access card from the coffee table and went out the door.
Two minutes later, Doudou arrived at the bottom of the apartment building and stood at the door first, looking out to see if there was any sign of Rongshu.
By this time, the neighbourhood was starting to fill up with people, all of whom had come downstairs for a walk after dinner.
Doudou looked for a while, but didn’t see Rong Shu, so she called Rong Shu again.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Doudou instantly heard that it was Rongshu’s. He had heard it in Rongshu’s office during the day.
Doudou’s face lit up with joy as he turned his head to look at the direction of the sound and saw that it was the safety stairwell.
However Doudou had just run to the safety stairwell when he saw Rong Shu collapsed inside, his face instantly froze and he cried, “Auntie ……”
Outside, Lu Qi walked into the apartment building carrying a large bag of freshly picked mangoes, wanting to give Rong Shu a surprise, when he heard Doudou’s cries, his steps stopped.
What was going on?
How could there be the sound of a child crying?
And the child was crying and calling for his aunt.
With this in mind, Lu Qi regained his footing and walked over, asking loudly as he did so, “Little friend, do you need help?”
In the safe stairwell, Doudou’s crying stopped when he heard this, and he hurriedly answered, “Uncle, help my aunt!”
Something was really wrong!
Lu Qi quickened his steps and appeared at the door of the safety stairwell in three or two seconds, just as he was about to ask ‘what happened to your aunt’, he saw Rong Shu on the ground, his face suddenly changed and the mango in his hand fell to the ground.
“Baby!”
Chapter 366
He had thought that it was just the occupants of the flat that had been in trouble.
But to his surprise, what he saw was actually Rong Shu.
Lu Qi couldn’t be bothered to ask Doudou who she was, nor could he be curious as to why Doudou was calling her Aunt Rong Shu.
He quickly went in to check on Rongshu’s condition, and when he did, he discovered something serious.
Not only had Rongshu’s wrist been slashed and was bleeding profusely, but the most serious thing was her head, which had swollen up to a large size!
Lu Qi knew that he could not delay, and directly picked up Rongshu by the waist, “Kid, I’ll take the baby to the hospital, you come along!”
He still had a lot of questions to ask this child.
“Mmmmmm.” Doudou nodded his head in a hurry.
Lu Qi picked up Rong Shu and ran out of the stairwell as fast as he could and headed out.
Doudou also swung his two short legs hard and followed behind.
In the car, Lu Qi used his voice to navigate to the nearest hospital and sent Rongshu there.
Ten minutes later, Rongshu was in the emergency room.
Only then did Lu Qi and Doudou breathe a sigh of relief, then sat on the row of chairs next to her and waited anxiously.
During this time, Lu Qi looked at Doudou, “Hey, little one, whose kid are you and what is your parents’ phone number, I’ll give it to your parents so they don’t worry.”
“My parents are in the army, my uncle left me in the care of my aunt.” Doudou said back.
Lu Qi listened to this aunt rather unpleasantly.
He frowned and asked, “Why are you calling me Auntie Baby? Who is your uncle, so shameless!”
It couldn’t be Fu Jingting, could it?
But I hadn’t heard that there was a junior in Fu Jingting’s family.
When Doudou heard Lu Qi call his uncle shameless, he couldn’t help but pout, “It’s Cheng Huai!”
“……” Lu Qi first froze for a moment, then his volume rose in anger, “What? I can’t believe it’s that guy Cheng Huai!”
Good, that guy actually gave his nephew to Rong Shu to take care of, and even asked his nephew to call him Aunt Rong Shu.
Heh, such an obvious intention of Sima Zhao, who could not see it.
This isn’t shameless anymore, it’s shameless!
“Hurry up and call your uncle and take you back.” Lu Qi huffed and said, “Really, if you don’t take care of your own child, why do you let your baby take care of you?”
Doudou swung her little legs and told him regretfully, “I’m sorry Uncle, my uncle is away on business and is not in Haicheng.”
“What?” Lu Qi wrinkled his eyebrows, “He actually ran away?”
“No, it’s a business trip!” Doudou corrected him.
Lu Qi waved his hand, “Whatever he did, anyway, in my opinion, he ran away, since he ran away, then when he comes back, I will settle the score with him, as for you little one ……
Lu Qi stared at Doudou for a few seconds and finally sighed in defeat, “Forget it, forget it, what else can I do to you a little doudou, well little doudou, tell me, how exactly did baby get hurt?”
His expression got serious.
I went downstairs to look for her, called her and found her mobile phone ringing in the stairwell, went over to take a look and saw that auntie was already like that.”
Hearing this, Lu Qi’s fist clenched, “Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to Repulse Bay myself and check the surveillance.”
Rongshu’s head had been beaten with such a big bag and her wrist had been cut, this was obviously a deliberate injury by someone.
To say that it was murder would not count.
If it was murder, he wouldn’t have just slashed Rongshu’s wrist like that. He had seen the wound on Rongshu’s wrist, which was circular in shape and only small in size, almost the size of a peanut meter, and not too deep.
So if it was a wrist slash, the wound must have been in a straight line, and the cut would have been deep enough to cut through the artery and bleed profusely, so whoever had injured Rongshu must not have wanted to kill her, otherwise why not just cut through the artery?
And even the head, it only looked like a blow. If they really wanted to kill someone, even if they didn’t slit their wrists, they would have hit them twice more on the head so that they could kill them, but the killer didn’t even do that.
On top of that, Rongshu’s clothes were neat and tidy and did not look like they had been violated, so what was the purpose of whoever had injured Rongshu?
But no matter what purpose there was, he must find out, that uncovered the person, and also return the favor with a tooth.
Lu Qi called for an escort and had the escort guard Doudou specifically.
After all, he is going to the shallow water bay, leaving Doudou alone is also uneasy, bring with him is also very troublesome, simply find someone to watch.
“Kid, you stay here, I’m going to investigate this matter, when baby comes out, you call me immediately.” Lu Qi said as he wrote his number to Doudou and glanced at the talking watch on Doudou’s wrist.
Doudou took the phone number and nodded heavily, “I know, uncle you go, make sure you catch the bad guys.”
Lu Qi laughed and couldn’t help but rub Doudou’s little head, “OK, just by your words, you are more likeable than that guy Cheng Huai, OK, I’m leaving.”
After saying that, he took his hand back and left the hospital.
He had just walked out of the hospital gate when Lin Tian Chen saw him and couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
Lu Qi?
Why was he here?
And looking at him, there seemed to be blood on his body, was it someone who had an accident?
As he was thinking, someone came beside Lin Tianchen, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat who said politely, “Professor Lin, welcome to our hospital, I’m counting on you for this operation.”
“It’s nothing, just deliver the medical equipment I want to my hospital in time.” Lin Tian Chen pushed down his gla*ses and said indifferently.
The middle-aged doctor responded, “Don’t worry, I’ll have them sent over tomorrow, the operating room is ready now, can you go over there now?”
“Yes, but there’s one more thing.” Lin Tianchen looked at him.
The middle-aged doctor nodded, “Go ahead.”
“The man who just went out, find out what he was doing in your hospital.” Lin Tianchen pointed in the direction where Lu Qi had left.
Lu Qi looked like that, obviously healthy as can be, so that blood was definitely not Lu Qi’s.
And to have Lu Qi personally send it over, it must be someone Lu Qi cared about.
I just don’t know if it’s a family member or ……
When he thought of how much Lu Qi cared for Rong Shu, Lin Tian Chen’s eyes darkened.
I hope it’s not Rong Shu.
“Don’t worry Professor Lin, I will ask the people below to check.” The middle-aged doctor said.
Lin Tian Chen hmmed, “Let’s go, surgery first.”
The two of them walked in the other direction.
On the other side, the Gu family.
Gu Man’er hurriedly ran in from outside, picked up a cup of water on the coffee table, tilted her head and drank it all in one gulp, the way she swallowed in big gulps, as if she hadn’t drunk any water.
Mrs. Gu was stunned, “Man’er, what are you doing, how can you be so thirsty?”
Gu Man’er exhaled, put down the water cup and smiled embarra*singly, “Sorry mum, I made you laugh.”
“Alright, alright, it’s not a big deal, do you want more?” Mrs Gu asked.
Gu Man’er shook her head, “No, I’m fine already.”
She sat down on the opposite side.
Mrs. Gu looked at her, “By the way, Man’er, where have you been all afternoon, you don’t even have a driver and your phone is not working, I tried to call you back for dinner but couldn’t find anyone.”
“I went out shopping with my friends, but my phone ran out of battery and I turned it off.” Gu Man’er lowered her eyes and said.
Mrs. Gu drifted off, “So that’s what happened, did you eat then?”
“I’ve already eaten, mum, I’m a bit tired, I’m going back to my room to take a shower and rest first.” Gu Man’er stood up and walked towards the stairs.
Mrs Gu looked at her back and always felt that she was a bit flustered and upset.
But she didn’t think much of it and continued to watch her TV.
