C453 Reckoning after Autumn
Hearing Mu Qingqing's voice, the bodyguards put away their weapons one by one and went to inform Elder Hua, asking him to come and get Mu Qingqing.
The sound was really loud. Hua Qinghe had already put on her clothes and was walking down the stairs.
Elder Hua hurried towards the door after hearing the news.
They were greeted by a deformed jeep and a wall with a large crater in the side.
Hua Qinghe looked at Elder Hua in shock.
"Qingqing!" Hua Qinghe ran over to Mu Qingqing, losing her composure. She had been feeling restless all night and worried that something might have happened to Mu Qingqing.
Wu told her that Steve Bewin wouldn't do anything to her, so she slept soundly.
After finally falling asleep for a short while, she was no longer sleepy.
At the same time, a short figure ran towards Mu Qingqing at an even faster speed. Mo Xiaoyun rushed to Mu Qingqing and looked at her blackened face without saying a word.
Before leaving, he had given Mu Qingqing the antidote. Mu Qingqing had also warned him that it was only a small test and that he didn't need to rescue her.
No one would have thought that Mu Qingqing would rush to the Hua Family and cry for help after being riddled with scars.
Hua Qinghe's heart ached as she looked at the skinny girl's blackened face. She looked at Elder Hua as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Wouldn't that be what Steve Burwin would do to her?
"Xiaoyun, sister is fine." Mu Qingqing gave him a calm look and pinched his slightly plump hands, indicating that he should be patient.
"Qingqing, where are you hurt?" Hua Qinghe's eyes swept over her body. Apart from being drenched from head to toe, her face was also pitch black. Her hands were dirty, but her joints were swollen and deformed.
Elder Hua called the doctor and asked Mu Qingqing, "Did Steve Bewin make things difficult for you?"
Mu Qingqing stared at the ceiling and muttered, "Aunt Hua, save me!"
Hua Qinghe, who was sitting beside her, did not dare to touch her. All she could do was console her, "Auntie is here, so don't be afraid."
"Auntie, those people are trying to harm me." Mu Qingqing turned her head to the side and the doctor used an alcohol pad to wipe the black charcoal marks off her face.
"Who is it?" Hua Qinghe asked.
"It's a bunch of guys. I don't know them, and they keep forcing me to tell them the name of the owner of the tobacco company." Mu Qingqing paced back and forth on the verge of collapse. Hua Qinghe had noticed the panic in her eyes.
Hua Qinghe turned her head to look at Elder Hua. The only one who owned the tobacco company was Steve Bevin. Could it be that his enemy had captured Mu Qingqing?
"Qinghe, I will give Qing Qing an explanation regarding this matter." Elder Hua looked at Mu Qingqing with a heavy gaze. The wound on her hand was not a big problem, but she was scared out of her wits. It would probably take a while before she recovered.
Throughout the night, Mu Qingqing kept waking up in nightmares. It was nightmares when she fell asleep, and she felt a chill down her spine when she woke up.
When she faced danger head-on, she did not feel much fear, but now that she retreated to a safe place, she felt especially afraid. The bodyguards were haunting him like a nightmare.
Hua Qinghe didn't close her eyes for the whole night. She stood at Mu Qingqing's side with a haggard heart and worried for her all night.
Elder Hua left the Hua Family, and seemed to have gone to look for Steve Burwen.
Mu Qingqing had no idea what the outcome would be, so she could only rest quietly at home, recuperating from her injuries.
Mo Xiaoyun brought a bowl of piping hot brown sugar boiled egg and looked at Mu Qingqing tenderly. His hand, like Mu Qingqing's, had been in pain all night.
However, Mu Qingqing's hand was still deformed, but he wasn't.
Mo Xiaoyun didn't know what happened after she went to the tobacco company, so he just felt sorry for his master.
"Sister, it's very warm to eat this." Mo Xiaoyun stood beside the bed and scooped up a spoonful of brown sugar boiled egg with his spoon and blew gently on it to cool it.
Mu Qingqing sat up straight and decided to make her own move. She was too old for Mo Xiaoyun to feed her.
"I'll do it myself." When Mu Qingqing took the bowl from him, her hand was shaking uncontrollably. After being caught in a bamboo trap last night, she still hadn't recovered from it.
Hua Qinghe took the bowl from her hands and looked at her with concern. "Auntie will do it."
Seeing that, Mo Xiaoyun could only give the bowl to Hua Qinghe. He stood obediently to the side and watched Mu Qingqing eat.
"Auntie, where's Uncle Hua?" Mu Qingqing accepted Hua Qinghe's good intentions and asked where Elder Hua had gone to.
"He went to see Steve Bewin." Hua Qinghe's face did not look too good. She did not know if it was done by Steve Bevan, but Mu Qingqing was injured so she had to take responsibility.
Mu Qingqing shuddered as she thought of the slightly plump and wildly dressed boss. He spat out a mouthful of turbid blood and told her that it was all at the behest of Steve Bewin. She knew that this was a trap set by Steve Bewin, but the feeling of eeriness and insecurity lingered in her mind.
"Don't even think about it. You just need to come back safely." Hua Qinghe quickly stopped her from saying Steve Bewin's name.
"Did the bad guys get caught?" Mu Qingqing tried her best to overcome the fear in her heart as she tried to calm down.
"You already sent people to investigate. Don't worry, as long as you catch them, you won't let them off easily." Hua Qinghe knew Elder Hua's personality. Moreover, Mu Qingqing was such a clever and obedient girl, Elder Hua definitely wouldn't allow them to do as they pleased outside the law.
The sea breeze slowly poured into Hua Family's inner courtyard. Mu Qingqing stood up and walked to the edge of the balcony to support the glass railing. She looked at the blue sky in the distance, her eyes cold. Right now, she had less and less time every day. If she just sat here and didn't move, Aunt Qiong couldn't afford to waste this time.
"Auntie, I want to go to the tobacco company." Mu Qingqing directly opened her mouth, but the swelling of her hands had yet to disappear. Her eyes were determined.
"Qing Qing, it's better if you stay at home and recuperate. We won't mention it, okay?" Hua Qinghe thought about what she had experienced last night that had been so thrilling that she felt like tearing apart Steve Burwen with her bare hands.
"No." Mu Qingqing shook her head, and said resolutely: "This matter has caused an unerasable injury to me. Before in the Mu Family, there was one thing I did the most wrong, and that was to not resist, and not face it. I thought these things would pass. But I never let go of what they did to me. "
"This time I want to face it. I want to see my assailant brought to justice." Mu Qingqing gathered her courage and said.
Watching her trying to encourage herself, Hua Qinghe wavered. Maybe it would be better if she went straight to the tobacco company to find Steve Bevin. That way, she could understand the whole story and not make her feel afraid.
So Hua Qinghe got her bodyguard to drive her to the tobacco company with Mu Qingqing and Mo Xiaoyun to look for Steve Burwen.
Sitting in the car and watching the traffic outside, Mu Qingqing couldn't calm down at all. Did she gain the trust of Elder Hua and Steve Bowen? If so, when would they start using her again?
These were all unknown.
As her thoughts flew further and further away, she unexpectedly thought of several rescue plans.
If Elder Hua didn't use her again, then she could only take the risk. Even if she had to dig a hole on the island, she had to save Mo Xiaohe!
Unknowingly, the car had already arrived at the bottom of the tobacco company building. Mu Qingqing looked up at the tall building, the glass wall reflecting the sunlight, making her eyes feel uncomfortable.
"You guys wait for me below. I'll go up and find them." Before getting off the car, Mu Qingqing specifically told Hua Qinghe and Mo Xiaoyun to stay in the car.
With heavy steps, Mu Qingqing closed her eyes and took a look at the situation upstairs. Elder Hua and Steve Bowen were sitting on the office sofa with serious expressions on their faces while her secretary brewed some coffee.
The situation seemed to be more serious for them, so Mu Qingqing didn't dare to let her guard down.
After knocking on the door, Mu Qingqing waited with a cold expression.
Elder Hua and Steve Burwen looked at each other. They had not arranged for anyone to come to this place for a meeting, so who would come at this time?
"Please." Steve Bowen politely let the people from outside in.
After opening the door, a thin but cold, delicate face appeared before them. Her eyes were deathly still as she looked at Steve Burwen.1
"Miss Hua, why are you here?" Steve Burwen looked at Elder Hua in confusion. Didn't they say that Mu Qingqing was recuperating at home?
"I'm looking for you." Mu Qingqing's eyes reflected the surprised expression of Steve Bewin, a foreigner.
Elder Hua said majestically: "Chenyan, take good care of your health when you get back. Dad will uphold justice for you here."
"Yesterday, those people seemed to have lost their minds. They kept asking me what was the name of the tobacco company's boss and what was the number." Mu Qingqing looked coldly at Steve Bewin with resentment in her eyes.
Steve Burwen's face was filled with embarrassment. He smiled apologetically, "It's my enemy. He caused you so much trouble. I'm sorry."
"They pushed me into the water and almost drowned me. Director Shi, it's only the first day since I came to your company, but I've been telling them that I caught the wrong person. They didn't believe it. If it wasn't for the confidentiality agreement, I would have told you your name already. " Mu Qingqing's expression wasn't too good, but she looked clear and orderly. She raised her hands and spread them out in front of Steve Burwin.
"That's what they gave me in return." Mu Qingqing looked at Steve Bewin with a cold gaze.
Steve Burwen's expression was a bit gloomy. He let out a sigh and said to Mu Qingqing, "I'm sorry about this. Those people were after me."
"I didn't escape death to hear you apologize. They say you owe them money, Director Shi. If you are such a person, I would like to apply to resign immediately. " Mu Qingqing said resolutely.
Steve Bewin looked over at Elder Hua. Can you tell me about this?
