Never Meeting Again In Our Next Life (Living Life Over) - Volume 2 (38)
Chapter 38 Lower your head
Li Mo didn’t expect that the lunatic Gu Yuexuan would bite him directly. He twisted his head hard but couldn’t get away. The smell of blood gradually spread in his mouth.
When he was filled with despair, he suddenly saw that Ji Qin had broken the rope at some point, grabbed a chair with bloody hands and smashed it down on Gu Yuexuan’s back.
Gu Yuexuan was hit and staggered, and the severe pain in his back forced him to temporarily let go of Li Mo.
He turned around and saw Ji Qin attacking from behind. He was immediately furious and rushed forward with red eyes to fight with Ji Qin.
Li Mo was in shock, panting and looking up at the clock hanging on the wall, staring at the hands and waiting every minute in agony.
Finally, with a loud “bang” sound, two bodyguards broke in and worked together to subdue Gu Yuexuan to the ground.
”Mr. Li, I’m sorry, we’re late.” One of the bodyguards stepped forward to untie Li Mo and explained, “The floors here are a bit complicated. It took us a while to find this place.”
At this time, Xia Liang was lazily leaning on the sofa, reading some financial journals and eating apples peeled by Zhou Shuo.
Suddenly Zhou Shuo’s cell phone rang. Zhou Shuo looked at the caller ID, his expression condensed, he put down the fruit knife, and answered the call before he could wipe his hands.
Xia Liang seemed to sense something and turned to look towards him.
Someone seemed to be reporting something on the other end of the phone. Zhou Shuo showed no expression throughout the whole process, until he finally asked, “Is anyone injured?” and then hung up the phone after hearing a few words from the other party.
Xia Liang asked: “What happened? Who was injured?”
Zhou Shuo pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and said, “The bodyguard sent to City B called and said that Li Mo and Ji Qin were kidnapped this evening.”
Xia Liang said “Ah” and half of the apple in his hand fell to the ground, but he didn’t notice it at all. He asked nervously: “Have you been rescued?”
Zhou Shuo seemed to have guessed that he would react like this. He calmly bent down to pick up the apple, threw it into the trash can, peeled another one for him, and said slowly: “Save him.”
”What about the kidnapper? Have you caught him?”
”It’s Gu Yuexuan. I heard he was caught on the spot.”
”Gu Yuexuan?” Xia Liang was not surprised that Gu Yuexuan was involved in this matter, but was very surprised that he would do it himself, “What happened?”
”I heard from the bodyguard that Gu Yuexuan first kidnapped Ji Qin when Ji Qin was alone, then forced Brother Mo to see him, and threatened Brother Mo not to call the police.” Zhou Shuo said, “Fortunately, Brother Mo was young at the time. He was careful and did not go to the appointment alone. Instead, he asked two bodyguards to follow the location in his WeChat to find the kidnapping location twenty minutes after he left.”
After hearing this, Xia Liang felt a little relieved, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: “Are the two people injured?”
”Ji Qin suffered some skin injuries in order to break the rope. As for Brother Mo…” He paused and glanced at Xia Liang, “I heard from the bodyguard’s description that Gu Yuexuan was a little crazy at the time, and there seemed to be signs of attempted assault. .”
Xia Liang didn’t understand for a while: “Attempted invasion? Gu Yuexuan? To whom?”
Zhou Shuo looked at him and said nothing.
Xia Liang finally came back to his senses: “To Li Mo?”
Zhou Shuo still just looked at him and said nothing.
Xia Liang was so shocked that he was a little incoherent: “No, Gu Yuexuan kidnapped Li Mo for no other reason than to accuse Li Mo… of what?”
This time, he didn’t expect Zhou Shuo to give him any reaction. He stood up and put his hands on his hips, pacing back and forth while trying to digest the matter.
Zhou Shuo watched him walking around and muttered: “Is this weird?”
Xia Liang didn’t notice what Zhou Shuo said. After walking around for a few steps, his surprise turned into anger, and he said angrily: “I used to be puzzled. Li Mo has no grievances with him.” Wuqiu, why does he have to fight with Li Mo when he’s full? It turns out he has such dirty thoughts, it’s really disgusting!”
After Zhou Shuo heard this, he moved his hand. The fruit knife cut his finger, and a bloody trace of blood immediately flowed down.
Xia Liang was still muttering angrily to himself: “Looking back at this, Yue Xuan is doing his own evil. He dares to have such vicious thoughts towards Li Mo. If I don’t sue him, his reputation will be ruined.”
He took out his cell phone and was about to call his lawyer when he suddenly heard Zhou Shuo say: “Brother Liang, calm down.”
”How else can I calm down?”
”Now Gu Yuexuan has been detained at the police station on the charge of kidnapping. The victim did not mention a word about his intention to violate him. Don’t you understand why?”
Xia Liangjing mentioned it to him, thought for a moment, and quickly understood.
”You’re right,” Xia Liang pressed his forehead and finally calmed down. He threw his phone on the sofa and sighed: “This matter is too big and it won’t be of any benefit to Li Mo. It’s true that I didn’t think well.”
The two of them were silent for a moment, and Zhou Shuo suddenly asked in a low voice: “Brother Liang, do you think that anyone who harbors such thoughts is unforgivable in your eyes?”
Xia Liang was startled and didn’t understand why he asked such a question. In a blink of an eye, he saw blood on Zhou Shuo’s hands, and his expression suddenly changed: “What happened to your hands?”
”It’s okay…” Zhou Shuo subconsciously put the injured hand behind his back.
”You tell me, even peeling an apple doesn’t make people worry-free…” Xia Liang pointed at him and was speechless, then turned around and went to the locker to find a band-aid.
Zhou Shuo quickly followed him: “Brother Liang, slow down, be careful not to inflate the fetus…”
”Why don’t you keep getting pregnant every time, or you’re trying to confuse me!” Although Xia Liang was impatient, she still carefully cleaned his wound and put a band-aid on him.
Zhou Shuo stood obediently and let him bandage it, his eyes fixed on the side of the other person’s face for a moment, and a slight warmth rose in his heart, which instantly drove away the depression that had filled him.
His mind started to heat up, he pursed his lips, and mustered up the courage to ask tentatively: “Brother Liang, if…I mean if, one day Li Mo and I fall into the water at the same time, which one will you save first?”
Xia Liang didn’t speak for a while, but just raised his head and looked at him in disbelief.
Zhou Shuo was inexplicably frightened: “What’s wrong?”
”Zhou Shuo,” Xia Liang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Are you out of your mind? Or were you lowered?”
”…” Zhou Shuo silently felt that he no longer wanted to know the answer, and he even began to regret that he would ask such a question.
However, the words spoken are like water thrown out, which can never be taken back.
As expected, Xia Liang still didn’t intend to let him go, and continued to tease: “Such a silly question came out of your tall, nine-meter-nine mouth. Have you ever considered other people’s feelings?”
