"Brother, what's wrong with this woman? She hasn't woken up in such a long time. Do you want me to throw a bucket of cold water on her?"

"You put too much medicine in. I told you to use less but you didn't listen."

"I'm just worried that the drug won't be effective enough and something might go wrong. I'd rather focus on it than let her have a chance to escape."

"I gonna go see."

The sound of footsteps came rustling from far away.

Lin Xige opened her eyes, but could not see anything. She had no strength left in her body, and when she opened her mouth, her throat was so dry that no sound came out.

A pair of men's feet appeared before her.

"Hello, hello? Are you awake?" He stretched out his toes and kicked her shoulder.

Lin Xige uttered with difficulty: "I...I..."

Another surprised voice came from farther away: "Hey, you're awake."

Then, a strong flashlight beam shone straight at her, causing Lin Xige to close her eyes immediately and shed tears unconsciously.

The flashlight just shone on her, with no intention of moving away.

Lin Xige curled up her body, and the memories before she fell into coma slowly flooded into her mind.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She...she was kidnapped?!

why?

She has no money and no power, so why would the kidnappers target her? What do they want?

Moreover, Lin Xige is usually polite to everyone and has a good relationship with people.

She helped the old man with directions out of kindness, but her kindness was taken advantage of.

It was dark and the day had passed. When Mu Chaoran found out that she was missing, he must have been very anxious.

Lin Xige bit her lips hard, using the pain to keep herself awake.

"You...you, what do you want to do?" Lin Xige shielded her eyes with one hand to block out the glaring light, supported herself on the ground with one hand, slowly sat up, and leaned against the wall, "Did you catch the wrong person?"

She swallowed, her throat feeling dry and ready to split.

"How about taking another closer look?" Lin Xige asked, "I'm just an ordinary citizen, working from nine to five and never causing trouble."

Mu Heng replied: "Yes, it's you."

"Sure?"

"I wouldn't mistake you for someone else." Mu Heng squatted down and looked at her. "I came here to ask you a few questions. If you answer truthfully and cooperate, we won't do anything to you."

"That's right." Mu Yi walked over, looking very proud. "Otherwise, with a beauty like you, I wouldn't even want to look at you even if you threw yourself at me."

Lin Xige stared at the two people in front of her.

Although she couldn't see clearly, she was sure that she didn't know them.

Familiar, never seen before.

"What do you want to ask?" Lin Xige leaned against the wall, hugged her knees, and was still a little afraid. "I, I don't know any important secrets..."

Mu Yi snorted: "You've been following Mu Chaoran, how could you not know?"

Mu Chaoran!

Hearing this name, Lin Xige immediately understood.

They came for their husbands, not her!

Men are so difficult to deal with, and Mu Chaoran is tall, strong, smart and wise, but dealing with her is much easier.

Lin Xige became alert.

Several thoughts flashed through her mind.

Is this someone from Jin'an Mansion? Because he lost a house and felt unwilling to accept it, he arrested her to vent his anger?

Or, Mu Chaoran recently got a promotion and a raise, and was highly appreciated and trusted by Mr. Xu. Some people at the construction site couldn't stand it, became jealous, and started to take action.

Lin Xige said nothing.

"Are you speechless?" Mu Yi asked impatiently, "Last night, you and Mu Chaoran rode in a Maybach together, first entered the restaurant, and then left together. I don't know how good your relationship is, but you must have slept together."

They were targeting her last night!

Come prepared!

but……

Lin Xige captured a key message from their words.

These two people don’t know that she and Mu Chaoran are husband and wife.

Did they think that she was Mu Chaoran's lover or bed partner?

"Mu Chaoran's taste in choosing women is really not that good." Mu Yi clicked his tongue twice, "I don't like them at all, but he seems to like them very much. Hey, how long have you been with Mu Chaoran? When he was in Su City, were you always by his side?"

Lin Xige still didn't say a word.

She wanted to listen to as much as they said and capture accurate information from between the lines.

But doing so can easily anger the other person.

Sure enough, Mu Yi cursed and hit Lin Xige on the shoulder with a flashlight.

The force is very strong and heavy.

"You hesitate when I ask you a question. Do you believe I will kill you?"

How could Lin Xige withstand such a blow? She felt as if her shoulder blade was broken. Her whole body tilted, and her delicate face wrinkled in pain.

"Are you so delicate that you can't stand just one touch?" Mu Yi said, raising his hand to hit me a second time.

Lin Xige shrank back and dodged.

Fortunately, Mu Heng stopped him.

"Okay, why are you taking it out on her?" Mu Heng said, "We're here to question her, and we just need to get the answers we want. If we hurt her and Mu Chaoran pursues the matter, we won't end up well."

"Mu Chaoran would never turn against us just for her."

"That's what we said, but we are two grown men, why should we embarrass a woman?" Mu Heng said while comforting Lin Xige, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, we won't hurt you, we just want to chat with you, just tell us everything you know."

One plays the bad guy, the other plays the red face.

Lin Xige saw through this trick at a glance.

However, Lin Xige finally spoke: "What do you want to know?"

"What exactly is Mu Chaoran planning in Su City?" Mu Heng got straight to the point. "Are you discussing a project? Or is there something else important? Is there any direct connection with the investment in Haicheng?"

After listening to this, Lin Xige thought, this must be Mu Chaoran’s business rival who came to inquire about the news!

Her brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to respond.

"Why are you silent again..." Mu Yi cursed and wanted to take action again.

Seeing this, Lin Xige immediately said: "I don't know!"

A man of insight is a wise man. She doesn't want to get hurt, let alone be beaten.

If you can maneuver around it, do so; protecting yourself is the first priority.

"How is that possible?" Mu Yi shouted, "Mu Chaoran and Xu Shenting took you with them to dinner, and you accompanied them the whole time. They talked about work while eating, and you must have heard it. Don't pretend with me, and tell me the truth, otherwise I have plenty of ways to kill you."

"I had dinner with the two of them, but they didn't talk about any work."

This is the truth.

Lin Xige carefully recalled last night's dinner. Really, there was no talk of work at all. It was all about eating, drinking, talking and laughing.

Mr. Xu said that Mu Chaoran would be very busy in the future, and asked her to let go and support her career more, that was all.
