Chapter Twenty-Four You've Finally Decided to Come Back

  "Where is Grandpa?"

  "It seems like it was in the bedroom! Do you have any new news?"

  Jin shook his head, indicating no!

  This time, Qin Shao Huang has mobilized not only the people on the surface but also those from the underground forces of the Qin Gate. They are scattered all over the country to search for him, and it's already been four days, yet there is no news at all, which is really terrifying.

  However, what's even more terrifying is that old man! His increasingly cold and gloomy expression makes even Jin and Mu, his trusted followers for many years, afraid.

  "You didn't bring back any news, are you sure you want to go to Grandpa's? What if Grandpa shoots you dead with one shot?" Mu was the type of icy beauty, her tone was already cold and on top of that she was talking about such a thrilling matter, even Jin couldn't help but shudder.

  "No choice, grandfather ordered me to report every day, if I don't go, I'll be dead!"

  "Get Blue Shao and Young Master Shangguan over here to be cannon fodder!" Mu Haozi gives Jin a suggestion.

  "Never mind, those two masters are of the kind who take pleasure in others' misfortune. If we call them over, they'll end up blaming us in the end!"

  "Alright, good luck."

  Imperial capital, second floor master bedroom.

  Qin Shaohuang stood in the center of the room, scanning every corner as if her shadow was everywhere. Four years later, she was no longer chattering away like before, but had become much quieter. However, that quietness was not something to be ignored, for whenever she was around, his gaze would involuntarily fall on her. Now, the entire house was empty and still, with only the faint scent of her hair lingering in the air, hastily dispersed over the past four days. Four days - had she run away or been caught by someone?

  At first, there was only anger in her heart. As time passed, it all turned into worry. Based on her understanding of him, he wasn't the kind of person who would neglect his friends and family. Now, his friend's nude back advertisement had spread all over the country, but she still hadn't reacted, making her heart tighten with anxiety.

  Feng Li woke up, but Chu Qingqiu was ill because she hadn't closed her eyes for three days and had caught a chill.

  When Chu Qingqiu woke up from her coma, it was nighttime. Feng Li was sleeping on another bed, having slept for a long time. Now that she had woken up, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She turned over and looked out the half-open window at the California moonlight. Suddenly, she thought of City D, and her thoughts immediately flew back there. She thought of Qin Shaohuang, and how she had left in such a hurry that she hadn't even had time to think about anything else. After arriving in California, she had been so busy with Feng Li's illness that she hadn't even had a chance to call back home. Now that she had disappeared for several days, Qin Shaohuang was definitely furious. Would her parents be okay? Chu Qingqiu immediately thought of this!

  Hurry up and get out of bed, go find your handbag and make a phone call!

  Because I was in too much of a hurry, I forgot that there was still water on my hand, and it pulled the wound open. The needle went in crookedly, piercing several inches deep, causing intense pain. Unconsciously, I let out a pained cry of "Ah!"

  This shout awakened Feng Li from her light sleep. "What's wrong, little girl?" he asked as he turned on the lamp and pressed the bedside intercom at the same time.

  "It's okay, I accidentally moved my hand and the needle slipped."

  This is a VIP ward, with special care outside. As soon as Chu Qing's words were finished, the nurse had already come in.

  She had the needle pulled out and changed to another hand for rehydration.

  The hand that had been injected with a needle was now swollen on the back of the hand and very painful.

  "Go get an ice pack!" Feng Li told Te Zhù after that, then said to Chu Qingqiu "Little girl come over!" He couldn't move, so he could only let Chu Qingqiu go over!

  "Hmm!" His complexion wasn't very good, Chu Qingqiu was a bit afraid, but still went over.

  "Come up!" He shouted and got her onto his bed, using an ice pack to apply cold compresses to her hand.

  Such warmth made Chu Qingqiu have an urge to cry for a moment, she held it back.

  "A Li, have you seen my bag?!" A Li was a special name that only Chu Qingqiu used to call him, no one else dared to shout like this.

  Feng Li didn't say anything.

  Chu Qingqiu knew he was going to explain, so she had no choice but to tell him again what had just happened.

  He then had Qing Long bring her bag over, and in a hurry, she flipped to her phone, but it was already out of battery and turned off. Her heart grew even more uneasy, biting her lip, she looked at Feng Li again "Feng Li, I want to return home tomorrow."

  Feng's smile at the corner of his mouth froze, and it took him a long time to speak up "Why!"

  "I'm afraid of my parents worrying, and I also haven't asked for leave from school!" As for Qin Shao's matter, it's not the right time to confess yet. Her heart aches, this man has been good to her, but she betrayed him by taking advantage of the private space he gave her!

  "I'll get Qinglong to bring them over, and I'll also go explain things to the school!" Fengli's words made Chu Qingqiu's heart skip a beat - did he mean to keep her by his side?

  Suddenly, a boundless desolation welled up in her heart. She gazed at Feng Li's gentle appearance, and her voice got stuck in her throat, unable to utter a word. Meanwhile, the young man who had taken root and sprouted in her heart, his figure was like a small grass that had grown wildly in spring, withered and tiny but with an unyielding vitality.

  "I still want to go back home!"

  ……

  As she stepped onto the land of D city, Chu Qingqiu couldn't help but look up at the bright sunlight. The few days in California seemed like a dream, and that person who always called her little girl and wanted to keep her also seemed like a dream.

  Swinging on the edge of emotions and morality, Chu Qingqiu felt that her heart was about to be unbearable.

  Taking a deep breath, she walked from the private airport all the way to the main street. At this time, she didn't think about the difference between taking a bus and hailing a taxi, but just wanted to hurry back to the imperial capital as soon as possible. She was afraid of that man's ruthless means.

  It's finally come true!

  She had just walked to a square when she suddenly raised her head and saw the rolling advertisements in the center of the square, her heart suddenly stopped beating.

  That large, shocking and heart-pounding advertisement on top is none other than Liu Ru.

  Get in the car and urge the driver to drive faster again and again!

  Finally arrived at the imperial capital after an hour.

  The money was coming in too fast to be collected, as soon as he got off the car, he rushed directly into the villa, shouting loudly "Qin Shao Huang" repeatedly, with a harsh and hoarse voice.

  "Finally willing to come back, huh!"

  Chu Qing's autumn rushed into the living room and heard Qin Shao's gloomy voice.

  The living room was filled with people, among whom Jin and Mu were familiar faces, while the others were strangers.

  "Why are you doing this!" Chu Qingqiu ran to Qin Shao's face and questioned him, at that time she was relying on her courage to fight for her friend without regard for herself. But what she didn't know was that the man in front of her wanted her submission, a submission where her world would only have him, not even her parents could exist!

  "Huh, Chu, don't you have a long memory?" He was clearly sitting down, but the oppressive feeling he gave off was so heavy. Chu Qingqiu's head spun and his feet felt light, and with one misstep, he fell directly into Qin Shao Huang's arms.
