In the driver's seat of the Lexus.
Looking at Leng Meng, whose figure was almost tottering in the driving rain, Yu Shuang's eyes immediately flashed with an indescribable anomaly.
But then, this anomaly was replaced by a cold glint…
"Xiao Meng!"
After getting out of the car with an umbrella, Yu Shuang quickly walked in front of Leng Meng and said with feigned regret, "Alas! What a pity."
"It's a pity that he misunderstands me too deeply."
Upon hearing this, Leng Meng suddenly smiled, "Heh heh. Is that so?"
Seeing this, Yu Shuang immediately stopped talking and did not continue.
Although Yu Shuang had chosen to conceal many things from Leng Meng for a period of time to ensure she was completely unaware,
She had deliberately calculated the timing to bring Leng Meng here tonight.
Yu Shuang knew that the events of the past period had caused Leng Meng to be extremely dissatisfied with her, and they had even been outwardly harmonious but inwardly divided.
Therefore, Yu Shuang decisively changed her strategy, using tonight's opportunity to win Leng Meng back to her side.
In fact, sometimes misunderstandings deepen precisely because in many seemingly coincidental events, the unintentional are always being schemed against by the intentional…
"Xiao Meng," Yu Shuang said coldly, looking up at the gradually subsiding rain, "Stop overthinking!"
"Most people from the Qianmen are heartless and unrighteous."
"Oh."
With a stiff, mechanical response, Leng Meng stopped speaking. She stared blankly until the figures in the distance completely disappeared, and then directly returned to the car in the cold rain…
…
The next morning.
After leaving the black clinic, dragging my tired and somewhat sickly body, I weakly returned to the hotel where I had registered my accommodation.
Taking out my phone from the interlayer beneath the bed board and turning it on, I looked at the screen full of missed calls… there were calls from Qin Lei, Sun Miao, and Leng Meng, but I hadn't replied to any of them.
After taking my medicine and lying on the bed, I didn't fall asleep.
Because my mind was not only replaying the events of last night, but also continuously flashing with the shadows of two people…
Qin Lei and Sun Miao.
Although I knew that I had most likely been saved by Yu Shuang, I was also aware of another crucial point.
Yu Shuang's timely appearance must have been because the whereabouts of either Qin Lei or Sun Miao had been leaked!
Of course, this thought was merely the result of me thinking on the positive side.
If I were to consider the negative side, it would be that one of them had betrayed me!
But it was also possible that Qin Lei and Sun Miao… had both betrayed me!
In short, whether it was the positive or negative scenario, the first step before me now was to find out the truth, and then… seek revenge!
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth! To retaliate fiercely!
If others do not offend me, I will not offend them.
If others offend me, I will cut the grass and remove the roots!
…
That evening, around seven o'clock.
Looking at Qin Lei and Sun Miao standing before me, I didn't rush to speak or ask them about what happened last night.
The most conventional and effective way to discern if someone is lying is to catch them off guard.
While engaging in normal conversation and communication, ask probing questions and secretly observe their reactions.
However, I did not intend to do this, but rather to take a different approach.
After my gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, I pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down, don't just stand there like fools!"
Hearing me tell them to sit, Qin Lei and Sun Miao first gave a slight start, and then each walked towards the sofa.
Watching Qin Lei and Sun Miao with their backs to me, my mind was filled with countless thoughts…
As the saying goes: You can know a person's face but not their heart!
If it were in the past, I might have subconsciously considered Sun Miao to be the one who leaked my whereabouts or betrayed me.
But now, I wouldn't!
I suspected not only Sun Miao, but also Qin Lei!
Who is human and who is a ghost will be revealed later…
After the two of them sat down, I calmly said with a composed expression, "I want to get revenge for what happened last night!"
Upon hearing my words, Sun Miao almost instantly stood up from the sofa and asked with his lisp, "Revenge? How to revenge?"
"Do you think we're filming a movie? After being heavily beaten by the villain, can we still stage a comeback?"
"Last night, if it weren't for your friend rushing over and giving Brother Tianji ten thousand yuan, I'm afraid by now… we would have been lying in the hospital!"
"Brother, please don't think about revenge or anything like that. It's better to think about how to earn back your and my medical expenses, that's the right way!"
Friend, sending money, one hundred thousand yuan…
With just a simple mention of revenge, I obtained this useful information from Sun Miao.
Although I didn't know the specific process, judging from the outcome, it was basically in line with my previous predictions.
It was Yu Shuang who intervened and saved me.
Since my prediction was not wrong, I would continue to proceed along the previous line of thought…
With that in mind, after handing Qin Lei and Sun Miao each a cigarette, I said calmly, "Revenge is not delayed overnight; if it's delayed, it's not revenge!"
"Since you are both now members of my team, revenge cannot be postponed. You must listen to me! Moreover…"
I paused, then pointed at Sun Miao with my hand and said coldly, "This whole thing started because of you!"
"Don't tell me that Brother Tianji and his men detained you because you won a thousand yuan playing the slot machine!"
"So many people come and go every day, I don't believe that everyone who wins money can get out of the arcade!"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have won more than a thousand yuan, right?"
My words immediately made Sun Miao feel very awkward.
He scratched his head and quickly explained with his lisp, "It's not like that! It's not like that!"
"Yesterday, just like the previous two days, I followed your instructions and stopped after winning about a thousand yuan, but…"
"I don't know why, but after I hit a big jackpot, the people playing next to me suddenly stopped playing and all came to watch me."
"Moreover, some of them started shouting together, and in the end, I couldn't even cash out my winnings, and was detained by Brother Tianji's subordinates!"
"After they detained me, they didn't even ask for my reason, they just accused me of cheating and took my money and phone!"
Before I could react, Qin Lei, who had been sitting silently by the side, nodded in agreement and said, "Brother Xiang, I can prove that Sanshui is telling the truth!"
