"By the way, didn't you ask me how Assistant Zhu was during the day. He said suddenly.

Qin Zhao would not mention Assistant Zhu for no reason, my heart was pounding, I didn't know what he meant when he suddenly talked about Assistant Zhu.

I flipped around his face, looking for some clues.

Then I looked at him with a smile on my face, "How is Assistant Zhu?" ”

"It's not interesting just to listen to it, I'll take you to see it. He smiled and put his arms around me.

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart, and I subconsciously rejected, "It's still not necessary, it's about to eat, and Sister-in-law Qi has already done it." ”

"Good guy, I'll be back soon. He hugged me out of the elevator, Chen Ranfeng was already waiting in the underground garage, he saw us coming down, and asked Qin Zhao, "Mr. Qin, which car to drive today." ”

"It's better to drive a big G. After Chen Ranfeng started the car, Qin Zhao opened the car door, and we sat in the back seat together.

I folded my hands together and rubbed them unconsciously, Qin Zhao saw it, took my hand and put it on his lap, rubbed it lightly with his hand, and then he told Chen Ranfeng to turn up the heat.

The car drove for more than half an hour and then stopped in the parking space of the community where Huaiju was located. Several bodyguards followed us out of the car, Chen Ranfeng waited in the car and did not get down, Qin Zhao went around to my side and opened the car door for me and picked me down.

I haven't been back to Huaiju for a while, and I wanted to go back and get my phone, but Chen Ranfeng told me that it was inconvenient for me to give up, I don't know how Xiaoyue and Sister-in-law Wang are doing during this time.

After I followed him upstairs, Qin Zhao opened the door, and the room was quiet, as if no one was there.

I stood at the door and called carefully, "Sister-in-law Wang, Xiaoyue!"

No one answered, Qin Zhao opened the shoe cabinet and took a look, and then took out a pair of guest women's slippers for me, I looked at it and was a little puzzled, I have special slippers in Huaiju, or the white wool slippers with rabbit ears that he took me to the supermarket to buy before, I will wear this pair when I return to Huaiju.

I didn't ask at the moment, I walked in with slippers, and after walking to the kitchen, I pressed the walkie-talkie and asked where Sister-in-law Wang and Xiaoyue were.

After a while, only Sister-in-law Wang came down from upstairs, and she didn't see Xiaoyue, and she was a little flustered after seeing me, and then Sister-in-law Wang calmed down and said hello to me, "Miss Chen, why did you come back suddenly." ”

I felt that something was wrong, and I was about to ask Sister-in-law Wang, but Qin Zhao interrupted me and said to Sister-in-law Wang, "Come back and have something to deal with, Sister-in-law Wang, you should be busy first." ”

Qin Zhao answered for me and led me to the basement.

The ground floor is a wine cellar.

The second floor is a water prison.

The third floor is the laboratory.

All arrangements have not changed.

We walked down the long staircase, because the staircase in the basement was equipped with voice-activated lights, and as we walked, the lights on both sides gradually turned on, and the shadows were so long and shadowy that I could see that our shadows were stretched for a long time.

After reaching the third floor, because Qin Zhao walked in front of me, blocking my view, when he walked around the corner, I was frightened by the scene in front of me.

Assistant Zhu, who had not been seen for many days, was tied to a wooden cross, with iron ropes tied to his hands and feet, covered in blood, dying and embarrassed.

I didn't know what was going on, but my body reacted faster than my brain.

I pushed Qin Zhao violently and quickly ran in front of Assistant Zhu.

Assistant Zhu was in a semi-comatose state, and when he saw me coming, he smiled, "Miss Chen, you are here." ”

I looked at him and trembled. shouted at Qin Zhao, "Put him down, put him down." ”

Qin Zhao seemed to be strolling in the garden, leisurely lit a cigarette, and spit at me, I was choked and coughed, "Mr. Qin, why is it this time." ”

I looked at him and asked, my eyes unconsciously filled with disgust that I didn't even notice.

"It's not good to take care of. I don't even know that such a big person as you ran out of the hospital, and you said that you should be punished or not. Qin Zhao replied.

"Then it should be me who should be punished!" I looked at Assistant Zhu in front of me, and countless guilt welled up in my heart, he suffered this because of me, if I hadn't run around, hadn't seen Qin Hui, hadn't gone to get drunk, and nothing like this would have happened.

I thought this was over, but I didn't expect it to be waiting for me here.

"You're always like this, you're always like this, if you don't obey, you're going to torture the people around me who are related to me. ”

"My heart hurts, I regret it. Qin Zhao's gaze wandered on my face, "Are you grieving for other men now?"

"Even if it's Xiaoyue who is tied up here now, I will be like this!" I'd rather be the one who is tied up here, "Let go of Assistant Zhu, Mr. Qin." I beg you. ”

"He deserves this level of punishment, do you understand?"

Qin Zhao lifted my chin and forced me to face him, "This time it's a blessing that you didn't have anything, and next time you didn't watch it, if something happens to you during this period, can he Zhu Qingyuan afford to take this responsibility?"

I was speechless for a moment, and looked up to see that he didn't say a word.

"Miss Chen, if you don't do it well, I really deserve to be punished. Assistant Zhu stopped me, "These are all things I deserve, don't plead for me." ”

"You old-fashioned. "I was so angry that I trembled like chaff, Assistant Zhu and Qin Zhao are really a perfect match, one is a sadist, the other is a masochist, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.

In the past, I was annoyed by Assistant Zhu's meticulous and unemotional work, but I didn't expect him to be like this when I put it on myself.

"You let him go, and we'll have everything to say. Please. "I'm really afraid that Assistant Zhu won't be able to hold on, so I tugged at his sleeve and begged.

"Ask for someone with sincerity. Qin Zhao leaned on the edge of the console, his palm propped up on his chin, thinking about something.

I have a stubborn personality and rarely ask for help, so let me ask for help than let me be punished.

Forget it, heroes don't suffer immediate losses. The next second I figured it out.

I walked up to Qin Zhao and asked him in the gentlest tone of my life, "I already know the seriousness of the matter, I won't make the same mistake again, didn't you say that my noodles are delicious, go back in a while, I'll cook noodles for you to eat, okay?"

Qin Zhao saw that I had a good attitude of admitting my mistakes, and finally had a smile on his face. He smiled and leaned closer, and his handsome face instantly enlarged in front of my eyes.

"Don't worry, this meal is owed first, I'll eat something else first. ”

——————

After this toss, night had fallen, Qin Zhao carried me out of the basement, drove back to Qingxi, after taking a bath, he put me on the bed, hugged me from the other side, and asked in my ear, "Do you understand the purpose of today?" ”

I was so tired that I didn't even want to move my fingers, "Mr. Qin, you must have seen the story of Xunxiang." ”

"Oh?" he was intrigued, waiting for me to continue.

"In some countries where elephant riding shows and entertainment and elephants are used as a means of earning money, after the baby elephants are born, in order to prevent them from escaping, they will tie the baby elephants to a huge wooden stake, no matter how hard they try to break free, they will never be able to escape. ”

I yawned.

"And then. Qin Zhao asked.

"After a long time, they will no longer think about escaping, and they will accept their fate. "I thought of Xiao Yue, thought of Assistant Zhu, and thought of Sister A Lan again.

"Even if the elephant guards have replaced the big stake with a small branch in the ground, and the baby elephants that have grown into elephants can escape with a slight struggle, they still think that it is the big stake that was tied to them when they were children, and they dare not even move it. ”

"So what. "Qin Zhao took a bunch of my long hair and played with it.

"Mr. Qin, you are training elephants now. ”

Qin Zhao was noncommittal, and after listening to me finish the story, he was silent for a while and said, "This is the difference between you and me. Because you don't let the people around you suffer and leave it alone. That's why tricks like this will work for you forever. ”

He held me into his arms, "Those who are heartless and ruthless are invincible." Being affectionate will only become someone else's weakness to grasp you. ”

I laughed and said, "Mr. Qin is an invincible person. ”

Love, for people like them, is just a pastime when they are bored, just an icing on the cake entertainment, far from the allure of power, status, and wealth.

It was true that he loved me deeply, but this "love" only occupied a small part of my heart. He will not give up fighting for everything he wants to seize because he loves me, nor will he allow me to touch his bottom line again and again because he loves me.

What he wants is for me to always be a canary in the palm of his hand, to circle around him alone, to tease and tease when I am happy, and to hang aside when I am unhappy.

This kind of love is actually very cheap.

This is exactly why I won't fall in love with Qin Zhao.

He has so much hatred in his heart, too many things to do, and these are far more important than the "love me" thing.

And I have a lot to rely on him to do.

There can never be a pure relationship between us, this is not the feeling I want.

I remembered what he said in the elevator, and I thought that the feelings at that moment were real, and the heartache was also real, but I didn't know how much it was love, and how much it felt that my dignity had been trampled on.

Chen Qing, Qin Zhao is like this, you can never be sincere, not for a moment, the day you really move your heart, you will never recover.

"What are you thinking. Qin Zhao asked.

"Didn't think about anything. I replied, "I'm just thinking about Assistant Zhu during the day." So, Mr. Qin, since Assistant Zhu has been punished, don't embarrass Xiaoyue anymore, after all, she has taken care of me for so long, and many things are not under her control. ”

"It depends on how you do in the rest of the day. He replied. "Chen Qing, pleasing me is far easier than pleasing others. You are close to the water, so make good use of it. ”

I nodded in the dark, thinking he couldn't see, and replied, "I understand." ”

He didn't speak for a while, and I thought he was asleep, but after a while he added, "Don't go against me." And don't think it's bad for me. ”
