After saying that, Wei Ping was called away by Qiu Huan. Qiu Huan was the talkative maid, and Leng Qing only recently found out that they were picked up from the streets by Huo Quan. She had been loyal to him ever since she was young.

She looked at their figures as they made a ruckus and left, and her heart felt empty and very uncomfortable.

Only now did she know that there was no place for her in the world. She had been a commercial spy for Qin Zheng before, and she had done a lot of kidnapping and extortion.

Those people had no proof and were afraid of Qin Zheng's power, so no one dared to cause trouble for her.

Now that Qin Zheng had officially married Ruan Lingyin, wouldn't this abandoned son of hers become the target of public criticism?

It was laughable that she risked her life to save the person who wanted to kill her.

Even now, she still wanted to save him once more.

That night, Huo Quan spent the entire night in the pharmacy. Although she called this place a pharmacy, it was actually a small hospital with all sorts of equipment. She studied Chinese medicine, while Huo Quan had cleaned up a room at the side filled with all kinds of precious herbs.

The reason why she was able to cure Huo Quan's poison was all because of her teacher, Zhang Wenqing. Teacher Zhang's family had studied medicine for generations, but unfortunately, he had no children in his life and coincidentally took her in as his disciple.

She had followed him for more than ten years, but she had yet to learn any of the other abilities. However, she had learned a whole set of skills in detoxification and poisoning.

This was especially so for this missing bone. Her teacher had studied it for many years before finally understanding it, allowing her to gain an advantage.

Early the next morning, Leng Qing carried a basin of dark stuff into Huo Quan's room. This was Huo Quan's room as well as hers. Due to the fact that her resistance was ineffective, she was already accustomed to being carried as a pillow to sleep every day.

"I said that if I don't see you …"

Huo Quan's gloomy words were cut off by the coldness. Her hands and feet were swiftly stained with the black mud in the basin as she covered his face with it.

"What is it?" He frowned angrily. This thing was stinky and sticky and disgusting.

Leng Qing saw that he was flustered and exasperated, yet he did not wipe away the ointment with his hand, and laughed, "Don't you want to know a quick method? "Well, here it is."

She smacked another patch of mud into his face.

"Cool!" He was truly infuriated. The veins on his palm were bulging all over his body as he slammed them down on the table.

Leng Xiao did not dare to continue playing. She curled her lips and sat down beside him, saying, "This ointment must be applied 24 hours a day. Change it every two hours."

"Change it to something else." Huo Quan really couldn't stand this smell. Moreover, with his current state, how was he going to go out and discuss matters?

"No, just use this type of love. I'm not in a hurry anyway." Leng Qing shrugged his shoulders.

"What's the matter with you?" He looked at her deeply, keenly aware that she was different from her usual self.

Leng Qing stood up and clapped his hands, saying, "I just suddenly thought it through. Since I can't escape, I better enjoy being a big boss's woman. "First tell me what things I can't do so that I won't violate your taboo."

"Flee."

"Just this one?" Leng Ning raised her eyebrows.

He nodded without hesitation.

"Then I can kill and set fire to it?"

"Sure."

"I can kill your cat?"

"As long as you have the ability."

"I still want to kill him …"

"You really want to kill me?" Huo Quan suddenly interrupted her question.

Leng Qing mocked himself, "It's not what you said, anything is fine?"

Huo Quan suddenly stretched out his hand to grab the black cat. His fingers were on the cat's neck, and in a short while, the black cat rolled its eyes.

"What are you doing?" Leng Qing felt her legs go weak.

"Didn't you want to kill it?" Huo Quan coldly looked at her.

Leng Qing opened his fingers to save the black cat from his grasp. "You're crazy!"

Huo Quan laughed lightly and said, "I know you're capable, but you can leave the fighting and killing matters to me. I don't want you to feel sad again."

"Aren't you sad?" Leng Qing knew how much he doted on this cat.

After a long while, he softly said two words, "Perhaps."

If you've lost too much value since you were a child, you're numb to the feeling of sadness.

As time passed, no one knew what sadness was.

Huo Quan's ointment had been applied for three days, but the effect still wasn't discernible. However, Leng Ning suddenly became ill and had a fever that caused him to spout nonsense throughout the entire day and night.

The person who shouted the most was Qin Zheng.

Huo Quan had invited quite a few doctors to see her, but none of them were in a good mood, so he had no choice but to send her to the hospital.

"Qin Zheng, I regret it now. I have to ask you in person. Have you broken your promise in the past?" Leng Qing tightly clenched Huo Quan's hand, unwilling to let go even for a moment.

Huo Quan only knew that she had never let go of her relationship with Qin Zheng during this past month or so. It was just that she had never revealed it to him and had suppressed her emotions for too long to the point that she was sick.

"Call Qin Zheng over." He pondered for a long time before coldly giving orders.

"Second Elder …" Wei Ping looked at him worriedly.

"Do as I say!" Huo Quan's gloomy gaze never left his cold face, not moving an inch.

After arriving at the hospital, Wei Ping contacted Qin Zheng, but with a few words, he also asked Qin Zheng to bring Ruan Lingyin over.

Therefore, when Leng Qing woke up, he saw Qin Zheng and Ruan Lingyin whispering to each other.

She wanted to pretend to be dead, but Qin Zheng caught her red-handed.

"You're awake." Qin Zheng's tone was gentle and calm.

Leng Qing really didn't want to see them so blissful. "I heard that on the day of Leng Fei's adulthood, you wanted to kill me."

No matter how much of an act Qin Zheng put on, his face had turned somewhat pale when he heard this. "You're my right-hand man, how could I bear to kill you?"

Leng Ning closed her eyes in despair. If he had not done so, he would have just denied it. Why would he say such flowery words?

"I think you must be sick. Killing people is against the law. Qin Zheng and I are both good citizens who abide by the law." Ruan Lingyin smiled sweetly as she held Qin Zheng's hand.

Leng Qing felt exhausted and pinched the space between her eyebrows. "You said you wanted to marry me."

Ruan Lingyin looked nervously at Qin Zheng. The air had frozen for a long time.

"It wasn't anything important in the past, so I caused you to misunderstand." Qin Zheng's voice had a rare hint of hoarseness to it.

"What a useless person!" Leng Qing sneered, "Go on, I am not a good citizen who follows the law."

Leng Qing turned his back on them and pulled the clothes on his waist up, revealing scars of various sizes. Qin Zheng's eyes narrowed as he secretly clenched his fists.

After that, she lay in the hospital for two or three days in a daze. She heard from Wei Ping that Huo Quan was on a business trip to the United States and wouldn't be back for a while.

She was thinking about how to escape from this place.

Huo Quan had already taken away the phone, so Leng Xiao could only ask his friend for help when they went to the toilet to call Sindan.

Sindar was her master, and she had learned all her godly skills from him.

Because he was only a few years older than her, she didn't want to call him master.

"My good disciple, after missing for so long, you finally remembered to pay respect to your master?" There was a lot of noise over at Sindar's, and it didn't take a moment to guess that it was probably at the bar.

In his life, he had always loved beautiful women like cicadas. He would either go for a ride or he would just pick up girls.

"Huo Quan caught me …"

"Who?"

"Huo Quan."

"Goodbye!"

Leng Xiao looked at the phone screen that lit up and silently rolled her eyes. She then sent the address and time to him before deleting the message and returning the phone.
