in the dark.

The cries and pleas were full of despair, fear and helplessness.

It's just that this voice is too weak.

It was so weak that after it was uttered, there was no second sound.

There was only a low moan and sobs.

Time passes slowly.

In the darkness and silence, the feeling of time passing is indeed very blurry.

But all human perceptions will be expanded, and even if it is as slight as a pin falling to the ground, it is possible to catch it.

Snap...

The sound of footsteps came.

The figure's delicate body trembled, and her sobs immediately became softer.

This was the first sound she heard that was not her own after she woke up.

Now listen carefully.

The footsteps became increasingly clear and coherent.

Click... click...

The footsteps were neither fast nor slow, but they were getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

It was coming towards her.

finally.

The sound of footsteps disappeared at the door.

Click!

The sound of the door opening.

The light in the corridor, as the door opened, spilled into the dark room, illuminating a corner of the doorway of the room.

And at the door, stood a tall and majestic figure. Because of the lighting in the corridor, his figure was reflected in the bright spot in the room, making his figure very long.

"You...are you awake?"

The extremely hoarse voice echoed in the room.

The figure on the bed trembled suddenly, and in an instant, fear wrapped around her whole body like weeds, and she felt a strong sense of suffocation, as if she was drowning.

"What, how...it's you?!"

Crying exclamations, full of disbelief.

With this weak exclamation echoed in the room.

Snap!

The sound of light switches.

The light instantly filled the entire room.

Because he had been in darkness for a long time, the stimulation of light caused the delicate body on the bed to fall into a brief "blindness" for an instant.

But the scene in the room is absolutely terrifying!

It can be called... appalling!

The man standing at the door, dressed in black robe, exuding an extremely fake feeling from head to toe.

Under the light, his eyes reflected an indifferent luster.

It's the mysterious man!

But what is really terrifying and makes people feel numb all over is that the person lying on the bed is actually... Gu Qingying!

The mysterious man stared at Gu Qingying on the bed indifferently, opened his lips and teeth slightly, and made a hoarse voice: "I really underestimated the time it would take for you to wake up. I didn't expect you to wake up so quickly, and it almost ruined everything."

Gu Qingying was lying on the bed, her hands and feet tied.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, and after gradually adapting to the bright light, she slowly opened her eyes again.

However, she did not immediately respond to the mysterious man's words.

The fear at this time filled her whole body like grass.

She slowly scanned everything in the room in horror.

The pungent smell of disinfectant.

Familiar hospital testing equipment.

There are also familiar wards.

Everything told her that she was still in the hospital.

This...what happened?

"Don't look, this ward is in a room on the top floor of the hospital where you lived before. It's just two rooms apart from the ward where you originally lived."

The mysterious man's voice was hoarse, but revealed endless indifference.

It seemed as if all the righteousness he had when facing Chen Dong were gone at this moment.

The eyes that were reflected by the light looked at Lu Qingying on the hospital bed without any emotion, as if they were looking at a piece of dead meat on the chopping board...

Boom!

The cold and hoarse voice was like thunder, exploding in Gu Qingying's ears.

In an instant, Gu Qingying was completely stunned.

Her pale and beautiful face was full of horror, disbelief, and even felt absurd.

In her mind, which was filled with fear, her thoughts gradually calmed down as the mysterious man spoke. Doubts surged up like waves, hitting every nerve of hers.

What happened?

Why did the mysterious man do this?

He forced me to stay here, so...who is next to Chen Dong now?

For a moment, Gu Qingying's breathing became rapid, her mouth opened, and she took a deep breath.

The air that can enter is extremely thin.

And the air in the lungs was squeezed out quickly.

asphyxia……

Strong suffocation!

Gu Qingying's eyes were red and filled with tears.

She tried to move, but her hands and feet were tied very tightly with ropes and she couldn't move at all. Otherwise, she would have been able to get up when she woke up before.

She raised her head, bowed her neck with great effort, and stared hard at the mysterious man at the door, but tears flowed down the corners of her eyes wantonly.

"I remember that when those people rushed into the ward, I fainted, so... what exactly happened?"

Gu Qingying's voice was hoarse and weak with a cry, and even when she spoke, her pale lips turned purple because of the strong sense of suffocation: "So... the assassinations in the ward were all directed and performed by you?"

She's not stupid.

No matter how scared or panicked you are.

The scene in front of her, as well as the memory before she fell into coma, had profoundly confirmed her guess at this time.

Even when asking these two sentences.

Gu Qingying rarely calmed down.

She is the eldest daughter of the Gu family and Mrs. Chen who is envied by everyone.

But that doesn't mean she's useless.

Her education, family background, and experience all determine that she has never been a role model.

Otherwise, she would not have returned to Chen Dong without hesitation after learning of Chen Dong's divorce, and could have easily persuaded her father to take over the "Yingli Building Materials" where his father made his fortune, thereby secretly helping Chen Dong.

She is just innocent.

Because my parents pampered me when I was a child, Chen Dong felt distressed after I got married.

The heart has something to rely on, so it is unscrupulous and simple.

Because Chen Dong always protects her, protects her innocence, and protects her peace.

But in her current situation, she has no one to rely on but herself.

"Fakeness is the most true."

The mysterious man chuckled lightly, closed the door of the ward with his backhand, and sat down next to Gu Qingying: "The assassination of Chen Dong in Nanming City was true, but the assassination that led the tiger away from the mountain and rushed into your ward was fake."
