My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 59
Chapter 59 What Is Going On?
“Aaargh!” Mu Yu, who was at loss of what to do, instinctively covered her head and yelled in distraught.
“Boss, don’t!” Bian Zijun sprinted inside and held Qin Jinhuan back.
“Let go of me! I’m going to tear that guy into pieces!”
“No, boss, don’t…”
“Let go!”
“Boss…”
Before Bian Zijun could say anything, his waist was kicked by Qin Jinhuan, but he looked past the pain, and kept on holding onto Qin Jinhuan’s arm while grasping him tightly from the back as he gritted his teeth.
Knowing that his boss was already at the peak of his rage, Bian Zijun refused to let go of his grasp. Or else, things might end up in a big disaster, as the Yi Family was also a force to be reckoned with in An City.
“Bastard! Let me go!” Qin Jinhuan’s eyes were already red with rage. He abruptly turned his knife around and threatened menacingly, “I’m going to slash you too if you don’t let go!”
“Don’t! Don’t let your hands off him!”
Mu Yu, terror-stricken, also knew of the severity of the current situation. Weeping, she constantly reminded Bian Zijun to not let go of his grip, as she tidied up her messy self while leaving the bed in distress.
Yi Yunzhe was already awake when Qin Jinhuan barged in with the knife in his hand. He looked around in shock, but as he slowly regained his senses, his face was filled with smugness. He yawned in satisfaction, and then started to slowly dress up as he chuckled. “Yo, it’s rare to see you dropping by to visit me, Mr. Qin. I can’t give you a proper welcome, I hope you don’t mind.”
“Shut your mouth if you don’t want to die!” Bian Zijun interrupted and replied angrily.
Yin Yunzhe replied in dismay, “Who do you think you are, trying to threaten me like that?”
“Threaten? I want to fucking kill you!” Qin Jinhuan struggled, and when Bian Zijun unintentionally loosened his grasp, he swung his knife, trying to stab Yi Yunzhe.
“Boss, don’t…”
“No! Don’t!” Mu Yu quickly pounced on Qin Jinhuan, and clutched tightly onto his hand which was holding the knife.
“Get off, bitch! Scram!” Agitated that he couldn’t hurt Yi Yunzhe the way he wanted to, Qin Jinhuan started to lash out at Mu Yu instead.
Right at that moment, Bian Zijun stretched out his arms, and knocked the knife off Qin Jinhuan’s hand, successfully snatching the knife from his possession.
Qin Jinhuan’s body shook with rage. “Bian Zijun! Are you planning on backstabbing…”
“Let me do it instead!” Bian Zijun pushed Qin Jinhuan back, and plunged toward Yi Yunzhe at once with the knife in his hand.
“No! No killing, please!” Mu Yu, who realised what was happening, tried to stop Bian Zijin, but she was held down by Qin Jinhuan.
Since he wasn’t expecting Bian Zijun to attack, Yi Yunzhe could not dodge in time, resulting in a cut on his arms. As pain spiked in him, he yelled for help and rolled toward the other side of the bed.
Bian Zijun wanted to dash toward him and resume his assault, but suddenly, more than ten brawny men barged into the room. Turning around, he noticed that other than three of their own men, the rest were unfamiliar faces. Instantly, he realized that the others were all Yi Yunzhe’s bodyguards. He immediately turned around to stay on guard by Qin Jinhuan’s side.
“How are you doing, boss?” the bodyguards asked Yi Yunzhe anxiously.
Yi Yunzhe held onto his bleeding arm and growled, “Why are you all late? Where the hell did you guys go?”
Nobody dared to answer, instead they quickly turned to face Qin Jinhuan with a fighting stance.
Seeing that there were too many people on Yi Yunzhe’s side, concern arose in Mu Yu, as Qin Jinhuan might be on the losing side when push came to shove. Not wanting Qin Jinhuan to lose the fight, Mu Yu held onto him tightly, and pleaded in a soft voice, “This is all just a misunderstanding. Can we go home, and let me explain to you instead?”
Qin Jinhuan glared at her spitefully. “Scram!”
Qin Jinhuan’s piercing gaze made Mu Yu shiver in fright. Yi Yunzhe, surrounded by bodyguards, shook his head and nonchalantly dissed, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Mr. Qin, are you always this crude toward your female companions? No wonder she was so passionate when she came for me.”
Mu Yu’s face turned pale and she quickly retaliated, “You’re spouting nonsense! I did not! I…”
“Shut up! Is it not humiliating enough?” Qin Jinhuan, who had his nerves struck, swiftly ordered Cheng Xiang, “Take her home.”
“Listen to me…”
Qin Jinhuan agitatedly growled at Cheng Xiang, “Hurry up, what are you waiting for?!”
“Yes, yes.” Even though Cheng Xiang was worried for the safety of Qin Jinhuan and the rest, he still rushed forward and forcefully dragged Mu Yu—who was still reluctant to leave—back to her room.
“You’re injured, boss.”
“I don’t need you to remind me!” Yi Yunzhe glared at the bodyguard who pointed out his cut. He then turned toward Qin Jinhuan, and snickered, “I get to have a taste of Mr. Qin’s girl. So the small cut’s totally worth it.”
“Shut your mouth!”
“Don’t get angry yet, since I’m not finished. I finally understand why you keep your wife away so meticulously, Mr. Qin,” Yin Yunzhe was unfazed by Qin Jinhuan’s anger. He licked his lip and continued as if he was still in euphoria, “I am so happy, and it was such an irresistible temptation. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I don’t mind dying under her, because she’s really worth it.”
“You want me to kill you, Yi Yunzhe?’
Qin Jinhuan, who flew into rage out of humiliation, leaped forward, but was blocked by Bian Zijun, Weng Yun, and Huang Bo as they dragged him outside forcefully.
Never in his mind did he ever expect his underlings to be such cowards during a crisis. He was irate to the point where his face paled. He growled in rage, but couldn’t stop them from dragging him outside.
The three of them took Qin Jinhuan back to Cheng Xiang’s room, and only released him after locking the door.
Slap!
Qin Jinhuan slapped Bian Zijun as hard as he could as soon as he was released. He bellowed, “Get lost, all of you! What a bunch of cowards!”
“I’m sorry, boss, but please listen to me, it’s not that we’re afraid of dying…” Instead of covering his face, Bian Zijun quickly bowed down to apologize.
“Scram!”
“Boss, please calm down! Don’t fall into the scummy Yi Yunzhe’s trap!”
“That scumbag was definitely trying to provoke you.” Weng Yun continued to explain, “You have an important contract signing tomorrow, and you must be there on time. You can’t get in trouble at a crucial time like this.”
“That’s true, boss. It wasn’t that we were scared of getting into a fight, but we were worried about the threats and warnings sounded by Old Master and Qin Wentao during the board of directors’ meeting. If it wasn’t for this, we would have shot that guy,” Huang Bo also exclaimed.
Bian Zijun nodded. Previously, he stopped Qin Jinhuan, took away his knife, and attacked Yi Yunzhe on his behalf, all because he didn’t want Qin Jinhuan to fall into Yi Yunzhe’s trap. He continued to explain even further when Qin Jinhuan no longer protested, “Young Mistress is definitely not promiscuous. I believe there must have been a misunderstanding. Why don’t we investigate it after you’ve signed the deal for the Phoenix Gully?”
Weng Yun agreed. “That’s right, that scumbag Yi must have used a despicable plan on Young Mistress.”
Huang Bo gritted his teeth. “He’s going to pay for laying his hands on the young mistress!”
Qin Jinhuan, who had lost his grip, finally became calmer now. He rushed into the bathroom to smoke a few cigarettes, before finally regaining his composure.
“Look closely into Mu Yu’s movements and call records after we left today.” After leaving his orders, he left the room and went to knock on the door opposite his.
Cheng Xiang was the one who opened the door. He had stayed to keep an eye on Mu Yu, for fear that something might happen to her again. When he saw Qin Jinhuan, he knew he had screwed up, and silently quivered in shame as he stood at the side. He nervously left the room, and closed the door only after Qin Jinhuan had waved his hand.
Mu Yu was still hunched over on the sofa, staring blankly at nothing in particular.
Ever since she was dragged back to the room by Cheng Xiang, she sat there trying to recall what had just happened. Despite racking her brain, she still had no idea what happened during the three hours after she had entered Yi Yunzhe’s room. The only thing she remembered was that she started to feel dizzy as soon as she entered his room. As she became more dizzy and sluggish, everything else just went black.
Remembering how her outfit was in a mess when she was lying on Yi Yunzhe’s bed, the first thing that came to her mind was that she had been set up. However, she remembered clearly that she had not taken any food or drinks in Yi Yunzhe’s room. She did not detect any weird smell as well. So how did they set her up?
If it was really the food that she ate, the only thing she had was the breakfast that Cheng Xiang bought at the Foodie Street.
She suddenly remembered the phone call from the unknown number. She immediately took out her phone to call Xin Yihan, and after a round of questions, she found out that he never asked Yi Yunzhe to pass anything to her. She finally realized she had been set up.
Was this a plot between Cheng Xiang and Yi Yunzhe?
She never had any bad blood with them, so why did they want to cause her harm? Was it just to make Qin Jinhuan’s life miserable?
It couldn’t be. Cheng Xiang knew Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu were legally married, so he had no reason to do this.
Besides, Cheng Xiang was Qin Jinhuan’s most trusted man. According to her understanding of Qin Jinhuan, his underlings wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.
However, she wasn’t very certain.
“Why did you go and look for Yi Yunzhe?”
Qin Jinhuan’s stoic voice stopped her train of thoughts, and she quickly sat up straight in panic. Afraid to look at him, she searched for the most recent page of her phone’s caller’s record before showing it to him, quivering as she did so. She explained, “Yi Yunzhe called and lied to me, saying that he wanted to pass me a parcel from Xin Yihan. He wanted to come over to our room, but I didn’t want you to misunderstand, so I decided to go to his room and take it. But as soon as I stepped inside, I suddenly felt dizzy, and I wanted to go back to our room. However, the dizziness worsened, and I don’t know what happened next. When I woke up, I was already on Yi Yunzhe’s bed, and you were there with a knife…”
She didn’t want to provoke him even further, so she dared not say anything more. She hunched over and peeked at him, but quickly averted her eyes. She lowered her head, and bit her lips while fiddling with her fingers.
“What did he make you eat?”
“I did not eat anything that he gave me, I was dizzy as soon as I went inside his room! If it was anything I ate,” Mu Yu paused as her voice became softer, “I only ate the food that you made Cheng Xiang bought for me for breakfast.”
Qin Jinhuan’s eyes turned cold at once. “Cheng Xiang?!”
Mu Yu nodded and his face immediately darkened. He took a long look at her without saying anything, then turned around and left.
“Oh dear…”
Mu Yu remained silent as she stared blankly at Qin Jinhuan leaving the room, while sorrow washed over her.
He was never interested in her in the first place. When he held the umbrella and bought breakfast for her this morning, she thought this meant that their relationship was beginning to improve. But before she was able to savor this, she had messed everything up.
It looked like they were never meant to be together.
She suddenly felt so much hatred toward herself, because Qin Jinhuan had previously warned her to stay away from Yi Yunzhe.
The person who destroyed her own happiness was her own self!
She suddenly wasn’t able to contain all the despair in her heart, as tears ran down her face.
“Young Mistress, the boss asked you to start packing up… I’m sorry, but I already knocked. Are you okay?” Bian Zijun anxiously looked at her.
“I’m fine.” Mu Yu wiped away her tears and asked, “What did you say about him wanting me to pack up?”
“Boss said we’ll be going back to An City after lunch, so he wants you to start packing.”
“Oh… Okay, I will start packing.” Mu Yu stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Suddenly, she remembered that her current outfit was the same one she wore while she slept on Yi Yunzhe’s bed. At once, she was beyond disgusted, and quickly went to get a change of clothes before taking a bath.
She looked at herself in the mirror in distaste after she took off her clothes, and started chastising her own reflection in the mirror.
As she was lashing out, she suddenly noticed that something was wrong. She quickly wiped the foggy mirror with a towel, and her eyes widened at the reflection of herself in the mirror.
