281 Tragedy!
Seeing that it was getting late, Qin Xi remembered Xia Tangxin in the dessert shop and quickly said, “Mr. Gu, I have something to do. I’ll get going first.”
As soon as Qin Xi finished speaking, Gu Qing suddenly invited her, “Miss Qin, it’s been a pleasure working with you. May I have the honor to treat you to a meal? I want to ask you some academic questions. Can you do me the honor?”
Qin Xi shook her head and rejected politely, “No, let’s talk about it if we have the chance to meet again. My friend is still waiting for me!”
Gu Qing said with some disappointment, “Alright then. By the way, I work at Qingyun Hospital. When you have time, feel free to come and find me there. We can discuss some medicine-related topics.”
“Alright!” Qin Xi agreed and left without looking back. She jogged into a dessert shop.
At this moment, a small car sped over and stopped by the roadside. A young and beautiful woman in a white coat got out of the car and ran to Gu Qing’s side in a hurry. She asked with concern, “Dean, I’m sorry. I was delayed by two surgeries. I didn’t expect such a tragedy to happen here.”
Gu Qing’s gaze was fixed on the dessert shop. Hearing Xie Min’s words, he said calmly, “It’s all fixed now. You have your duty. You don’t have to apologize.”
Seeing that Gu Qing was looking elsewhere, Xie Min frowned and followed his gaze. However, there was nothing attractive there except for the passers-by. She felt a little strange and asked in a low voice, “Brother Qing, what are you looking at?”
Gu Qing withdrew his gaze and glanced at her indifferently. His eyes had returned to their usual coldness. “Doctor Xie, please call me Dean Gu or by my full name. I’m not used to strangers calling me Brother.”
Xie Min’s beautiful face stiffened and she forced a smile. “I’m sorry. I thought we were already friends after working together for five years. It’s my fault.”
Gu Qing didn’t continue. He took a deep look at the dessert shop and turned to leave.
Xie Min bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with unwillingness and grievance. However, she had a feeling that Gu Qing was acting strangely today, as if he was looking forward to something. That feeling made her feel very uncomfortable, and she was frustrated.
She couldn’t help but look in the direction of the dessert shop. Then, she saw Qin Xi and Xia Tangxin walking out of the dessert shop arm in arm. Her eyes widened. “It’s her?”
Xie Min recognized at a glance that Qin Xi was the Chinese doctor who embarrassed her that day. She watched as Qin Xi threw something into the trash can. After they left, she walked over. When she saw the white handkerchief in the trash can, Xie Min’s mind went blank. She quickly picked up the handkerchief and clenched it tightly, her eyes filled with ferocity.
Gu Qing did not know about this, nor did Qin Xi. At this moment, Qin Xi had just parted ways with Xia Tangxin and was on the way back to the villa.
Because it was in the suburbs, the journey was relatively long. Unknowingly, she fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Xi was enveloped by a trace of cold air. When she opened her eyes again, her surroundings were pitch-black and there was no light at all. The driver was long gone.
Although she did not understand what was going on, she could clearly feel that there was a lot of Yin energy in the surrounding air that was about to attack her.
Was she on her way back to Breeze villa? How did she get here for no reason?
What she did not know was that the reason why the driver brought Qin Xi to this deserted place was actually because Qin Xi was beautiful, and he had evil designs on her.
In the end, it became a tragedy.
