Shen Peining sat in the office of the Haoting Hotel, playing with the bracelet on his wrist, but his thoughts drifted to the man in the presidential suite upstairs.

Gu Zeyan was a mystery to her, she thought they were just taking what they needed, but after last night, she found that this man didn't seem to be as perfect as rumored outside, but had many unknown flaws.

Also, what did he mean by what he said last night? was it gibberish at the time of the onset, or was there some secret about her?

She furrowed her eyebrows and continued to work on the mountain of papers on the desk.

A bell rang, she glanced at the caller ID on her phone, and her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"Hey, Mom, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, I just heard Xue Qing say that you have been busy recently, and my mother is afraid that your body will not be able to bear it, so she made you something delicious, let's go home and eat today." Lin Rong's voice was rare amiable, but Shen Peining faintly felt that something was wrong.

Something was wrong, she couldn't tell, but in her memory, Lin Rong didn't seem to talk to herself so gently a few times, especially when so many things happened during this time, her mood has always been unstable.

She thought about it for a while, smiled and agreed, "Okay, I'll go back when I'm done with what I'm doing." ”

The good news of Shen's imminent recovery, it's time to go back and tell her mother and sister.

Lin Rong on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved, and happily answered and hung up the phone.

Near noon, Shen Peining and Gu Zeyan said hello and went directly back to the apartment where the mother and daughter lived temporarily, and Lin Rong was holding a plate of dishes on the table.

The table was full of sumptuous dishes with a seductive aroma, but the smile in Shen Peining's eyes dimmed a little.

"Are you back?" Lin Rong said hello apprehensively, pulled her over and sat down at the table, "Come and try it, Mom has made a lot of your favorite dishes, I'll call Xue Qing." ”

Shen Peining nodded lightly, her eyes swept over the table, and there was a touch of sourness in her heart.

These are her favorite dishes, obviously they are all her sister's favorite dishes, and there are a few foods that she has never eaten.

"Sister, are you back?" Shen Xueqing happily jumped to Shen Peining's side, held her hand coquettishly, and stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a few dishes and put them in her bowl, "Sister, you eat more, my mother hasn't cooked for a long time." ”

Shen Peining hooked the corners of her lips, endured the discomfort, stuffed the carrot she didn't like into her mouth and chewed, and pretended to nod happily, "It's delicious! Sit down, I have good news to tell you, Shen is saved." ”

"Really? Great!"

Shen Xueqing's eyes were red with excitement, but Lin Rong surprisingly didn't react much, so Shen Peining couldn't help but look at her twice.

"Well," she asked, pretending to be casual with her eyes twinkling, "By the way, Xueqing, what happened to your sleepwalking classmate that night?

Shen Xueqing was stunned for a moment, and then sighed exaggeratedly, "Sister, you don't know, my roommate didn't even know that she had sleepwalking, she had two times before, we said that she still didn't believe it, and we also took a video that day, and then she believed it." In the past few days, she took leave to go home, and heard that her parents had arranged for her to be treated by a doctor. ”

"I see," Shen Peining nodded, "If I hadn't heard you, I would have thought that the woman on the phone was drunk." ”

A cold sweat broke out on Shen Xueqing's back, and she smiled awkwardly, "We thought so once before, but later I found out that when she sleepwalked, she looked like someone else was drunk, and she looked quite scary......"

After speaking, she carefully observed Shen Peining's face, and when she saw that she no longer asked, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh, why are you talking about these things, come on, Pening, you've been busy with the company's affairs recently, you've lost weight, your mother made chicken soup, you drink it while it's hot. Lin Rong's eyes flickered, and she stuffed a bowl of chicken soup into Shen Peining's hand, until she watched her drink it one by one, as if she had taken a reassuring pill, smiling and chatting.

After dinner, Shen Xueqing went back to school, and Shen Peining also wanted to leave and go back to the hotel to continue handling work, but as soon as she stood up, she suddenly felt that the sky was spinning, and the whole person fell to the ground weakly.

In the fog, she vaguely saw Lin Rong walking towards the kitchen with the chicken soup in front of her, pouring the remaining bit into the sink......

When she woke up again, Shen Peining felt the pain of being hit by a hard object under her, and what she could see was an overgrown field, and she hadn't struggled from the ground yet, a knife with a cold light was slashing in front of her eyes.

"It's a shame that you haven't woken up until now, if you're really confused, I'll have to worry about it's not interesting!" Jiang Tianming's vicious voice sounded not far away.

Shen Peining was weak, she raised her eyes slightly, Lin Rong was sitting not far away and crying, but was kicked over by Jiang Tianming.

"What are you crying about! If it weren't for you, your daughter wouldn't have to suffer this sin! I didn't count it once, but I still dared to borrow usury! You old woman, it's rare!"

Ears filled with Jiang Tianming's laughter and Lin Rong's crying, Shen Peining struggled to stand up, looked at Lin Rong in disbelief, her voice was a little hoarse, "Mom, what he said is true? Did you borrow loan sharks again? Before, did you put medicine in the chicken soup? Jiang Tianming asked you to do this?"

Lin Rong burst into tears, her trembling body shrunk into a ball, and her mouth was still reading in pieces: "I have done what you said, then, can that money be counted? Don't kill me, as long as you don't kill me, let me do whatever I want......"

The shock on Shen Peining's face gradually turned into despair, this woman who did not hesitate to drug her and beg for mercy from their enemies in order to repay the loan sharks was really her mother? If Jiang Tianming wanted her to kill someone, would she not hesitate......

Soon, her words came true.

Jiang Tianming handed the knife in his hand to Lin Rong's hand and smiled cruelly, "How much money do you owe, don't you have any points in your heart? Just how can you give some medicine enough? However, as long as you give your good daughter a knife now, I can consider giving you a discount." ”

Lin Rong held the knife, her hands trembled uncontrollably, her somewhat sloppy gaze slowly fell on Shen Peining's body, and when she met her cold gaze, she suddenly trembled, hugged her head in fright, and the knife in her hand fell to the ground in response.

Taking advantage of Jiang Tianming's time when he bent down to pick up the knife, Shen Peining's heart moved, and he quietly dialed a hidden place on the bracelet.

Jiang Tianming was no longer patient, and pointed at Lin Rong with a knife, his face was hideous, "Tell me quickly! Where is that mineral in Shen Hongzhou's hand? Otherwise, I will kill your mother! In the future, this barren mountain and wild mountain will be her destination!"

"I don't know!" Shen Peining clenched his fists, and he had already made a decision in his heart, "I don't know what the minerals you are talking about!"

"What minerals?!Are minerals more important than my life?" Lin Rong's nerves were on the verge of collapse, and she stared at Shen Peining with scarlet eyes, as if she was looking at the enemy who killed her father, "White-eyed wolf! You white-eyed wolf! You and your father have the same virtue, they are both inhumane white-eyed wolves!hahahaha...... I don't have a daughter like you! I would have known, I should have stabbed you to death!"

Shen Peining's eyes were red, but her eyes were still staring at the sharp tip of the knife, until Jiang Tianming was impatient with Lin Rong's noise, and when she lifted the knife and stabbed it, she suddenly propped herself up and threw herself at Lin Rong-
