CHAPTER XXIII
Liu Mengwei returned to Wen Qiao's residence, and the crisis was temporarily lifted, so she didn't have to borrow to live in someone else's house.
When I opened the door and saw Yu Ling, I suddenly felt a sense of guilt in my heart, this kind of large-sized dog breed is still quite uncomfortable in this closed indoor space. It was already past 12 o'clock in the morning, and there were very few pedestrians on the road, so she thought it would be better to take Yuling out for a run.
But at this moment, Yu Ling suddenly pricked up his ears and turned around the door restlessly. Liu Meng saw its reaction, and instantly understood a little in his heart. She opened the door, and Wen Qiao was stepping on the last step. Yu Ling rushed towards him, but the leash was still in Liu Mengwei's hand, and she was almost thrown into his arms by this sudden force.
Wen Qiao took the rope from her hand and calmed Yu Ling, then asked, "You want to take it out?" ”
Liu Mengwei reluctantly pulled out a smile: "I want to see it stay alone all day, and I can't see you, it's always hello and sullen." Isn't it a dog raised by the anti-drug team? How can I be so close to you? ”
Yu Ling raised his head and looked at Wen Qiao intently, his heart full of its owner.
"I raised it, but it got separated." Wen Qiao said briefly.
"Then the two of you are really fateful, and you are here again again." Liu Meng said with some emotion.
Wen Qiao, who heard this, took a deep look at her and said seriously: "It's not fate, it's that it found me." ”
Liu Meng was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It sounds even more enviable." Pure coincidences will only make people feel short-term surprises at most, but taking the initiative can bring long-term touches. ”
Wen Qiao suddenly felt that there was a faint sadness in what she said.
"Ahh By the way, my business has been settled, and you can move back tomorrow. ”
Wen Qiao didn't respond to this sentence, but asked, "You were with Qiu Yuze just now?" ”
"Why are you following me again?" Liu Mengwei pretended to be dissatisfied and screamed, she was not really angry, and when she knew that he was not far from her just now, she suddenly felt a sense of relief.
"What the hell is going on?" Wen Qiao's voice was calm and calm, with an irresistible force.
Liu Meng slightly supported his forehead, with a complicated expression: "I really don't know...... How did things get the way they were? ”
He Rulin, that is, Lin Ruhe, died.
They had surveillance video of her entering the villa, and they also extracted her fingerprints from Lin Ruhe's clothes and the collar rope that suffocated him, and of course, the special neurotoxin detected in his body, which is irrefutable.
Although Liu Mengwei defended that the dose of the neurotoxin was very mild, and it would resolve itself after 3 to 6 hours, and it would not endanger life and organ function, she had no basis for her words, and she could not guarantee 100% that her actions were not the direct or indirect cause of Lin Ruhe's death. After all, this neurotoxin has not undergone extensive clinical trials, and there is almost no knowledge of the side effects and allergic reactions it may cause, and it is also possible that the mass she stuffed in Lin Ruhe's mouth pressed his respiratory tract, and he was unable to save himself due to paralysis, and finally died of lack of oxygen.
When Alice told her the news, she couldn't believe it, not because she couldn't believe it, but because she couldn't believe herself. No matter what, Lin Ruhe's death has to bear some responsibility for himself.
Before Liu Mengwei could think of countermeasures, Alice told her another piece of news that she didn't know if it was good or bad - Alice revealed this matter to Qiu Yuze in the process of inquiring about the news, after all, one of her current identities is DMT's account manager. After Qiu Yuze learned about this incident, he promised to help, but what he didn't expect was that the president of this DMT company, who has always been low-key and mysterious, was willing to come forward to solve this matter in person this time.
Liu Mengwei would not be so stupid as to think that he did this without asking for anything in return. But he didn't even mention any quid pro quo just now, it was like throwing a time bomb at her, and she had to be worried all the time.
Qiu Yuze just talked about a big business with Nishimura Liang. DMT has recently launched a new drug that has passed the FDA review and certification, and when it is sold and distributed abroad, it is generally entrusted to a local pharmaceutical company as an agent. Although Nishimura's business is not compatible, since DMT is willing to give up space to accommodate an extra second-tier dealer, and is even willing to further sell a 1.5% share so that Nishimura can get a share of this interest chain, can such a small matter as whether the business is right or not still be a problem?
What's more, this is not the profit of the general industry, but the profiteering pharmaceutical industry. Not only was Nishimura stunned, but Liu Mengwei was also shocked in his heart - businessmen don't make loss-making transactions, and the more they invest now, the more demanding the return will be doubled at that time.
Nishimura was obviously knocked unconscious by the big pie that fell from the sky, and suddenly there was an urgent alarm sound from nowhere, so he couldn't think at all, so he could only ask for more time to think carefully, but he also made a promise that he would not trouble Liu Mengwei again before that.
"It's just that the trouble is transferred, the person looking for trouble is transferred from this person to that person, and the time to find trouble is delayed from today to tomorrow, and nothing has changed in essence." Liu Mengwei's voice was full of exhaustion: "Probably as long as I live, trouble will always come to my door." ”
"There are many myths and stories in China that say that when the heavenly fairies stay in the heavenly palace for a long time, they will think about the lower realm, have various entanglements with an ordinary human man, and then separate for various reasons and return to the heavens. Those who go back voluntarily are just that, what if they are always forced to do so? ”
Even in cities with severe light pollution, the triangle of Vega, Altair, and Tianjin is still clearly visible on this early summer night - summer is coming.
Wen Qiao didn't say a word along the way, just listened quietly to Liu Mengwei's narration until she stopped talking, until she couldn't tolerate his silence.
"Why don't you speak?" But whenever he confides, he always wants to get some response, but he didn't expect Wen Qiao to be unprecedentedly indifferent: "It's all you asking for it." ”
Liu Mengwei seemed to have been poured a basin of cold water on her head: "Why are you ...... I'm not bored! ”
But Wen Qiao looked even more angry than her: "Did I say, don't trust strangers, don't accept the favor of strangers?" ”
"Are you familiar with this person named Qiu Yuze? Why would you want him to negotiate with those guys on your behalf? It's just that an insignificant brute died, and you can't be sure if it's really related to you, so you take this as something terrible, and rush to sell yourself to pay off your debts? His voice was as cold as polar ice and snow, and he didn't care about Liu Mengwei's current mood at all.
Liu Meng looked at him blankly, speechless, but Wen Qiao didn't mean to stop: "That female student of yours wanted to sneak in to find clues but didn't dare, and then you went for her, what does this have to do with you?" Why should you trust her, and why should you be nosy? Trouble always finds you, isn't it you who go to trouble first? If you can stop a little bit and stay longer, I don't believe things will turn out the way they are, do you think you brought it on yourself? If you really just want to live quietly and ordinarily, you should keep a low profile and don't make yourself unhappy! ”
Liu Mengwei bit her lip slightly, and looked at him with some grievance: "Things are already like this......"
"Deserve it......" Wen Qiao still seemed to be angry, and gently spit out these two words to deliberately anger her.
She said sadly: "It's a big deal that I will go back to the California laboratory and be a guinea pig for the rest ......of my life."
Wen Qiao snorted lightly: "You're going to admit defeat so soon?" Okay, when are you going to go back? I can book your ticket and take you to the airport......"
"You don't have to provoke me!" Liu Mengwei couldn't help but scream, with a resolute look on her face: "I haven't admitted defeat yet, where is this, I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely don't be at the mercy of others anymore!" ”。
"What are you going to do?" Wen Qiao saw that she had regained her fighting spirit, and finally regained her calm and reassuring voice.
Liu Meng took a deep breath and said solemnly and resolutely: "You must go to the card table." No matter how valuable something is, it can't be on the table, it can only be chips forever. ”
