In an instant, the words "fake death" took hold of Jiang Qin's mind like a curse.
At that very moment, she removed her hand from her face, which she had been using to calm herself down.
His bewildered expression changed, transforming into a masked indifference.
From childhood to adulthood, she always longed to live.
When she was five years old, she was stabbed so hard by that beast, but she didn't die.
Later, despite the unexpected events, slander, rumors, and bullying she encountered during her teenage years, she never thought of giving up on life. Instead, her grades improved, she won awards left and right, and she even called the police to arrest those who bullied her, sending them all to jail.
Even if one or two students with connections couldn't get in, they still got beaten by their parents and had to transfer to another school.
After her grandmother passed away, she was dejected and discouraged, but she also regained her radiance.
Last time, he was kidnapped by Huo Chishen's men and thrown into a truck full of dogs.
Even in her most desperate and suffocating moments, she never gave up on living and never thought of just letting herself die.
But now, in order to escape the power and clutches of the man she once truly loved, she...
She had no choice but to fake her death and close her account.
It's both laughable and truly pathetic.
It's quite obvious that this time, she's already walking on the edge of a cliff.
She had no better way to escape than to fake her death.
At that moment, Jiang Qin didn't know whether she should be glad that she had this kind of personality, and not something else.
After all, if she were more outgoing, she would have many friends and a lot of connections by now.
She probably wouldn't be able to fake her death very well.
But coincidentally, because of her experiences growing up, she is a person who values quality over quantity when it comes to friends, and she doesn't have many.
I also dislike all sorts of complicated relationships. I think it's better to study the law than to cultivate connections.
Therefore, faking her death was not only the best option for her, but also quite easy to implement.
"Uncle Wang, take me to Moonlit Bay."
In that instant, Jiang Qin made this decision, quickly devised specific implementation steps, and began to carry them out.
We can't delay any longer. It's almost the end of October, and she has to file for divorce before mid-November.
However, things have changed again. Will Horstley still cooperate next Wednesday?
He might still get angry and keep dragging her along, using the excuse of wanting to "talk" or "explain" to her.
Jiang Qin didn't know, but there was one thing she was very clear about at this moment—
From today onwards, she and Huo Sili should avoid seeing each other if possible.
Before faking her death, she had to try to minimize her presence in Huo Sili's life, so that he would never remember that there was ever a person named Jiang Qin in his life.
Moonlight Bay is the villa where Jiang Qin lived before. The old lady later gave Jiang Qin the villa, which had a live-in nanny, Aunt Zhao, and a large security team of bodyguards.
At this point, the driver, Uncle Wang, knew the route.
In addition, the old lady had repeatedly instructed the servants at the old house that Jiang Qin's orders were equivalent to Qiu Huilan's orders, and they must obey them without any negligence.
Therefore, when Jiang Qin said she wanted to go to Moonlight Bay, driver Uncle Wang naturally didn't dare to say anything.
Noticing that Jiang Qin had already fastened her seatbelt, he immediately started the car and drove off.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the inpatient ward, unfortunately, Huo Sili thought that running was faster than waiting for the elevator.
As I ran downstairs, I happened to run into two cleaning ladies chatting in the stairwell.
When they saw someone coming down, the two aunties who were chatting enthusiastically didn't hear anyone say to make way.
Therefore, they assumed the person was leaving and had no intention of making way.
Two seconds later, they felt an even colder gaze. When they turned around, they were met with the man's icy face, and they quickly stepped aside in fright.
I'm just wondering, if such a tall and strong man is in such a hurry to go downstairs, why doesn't he make a sound?
In broad daylight, they thought the hospital was haunted! It was so eerie, it was terrifying!
Because of this delay, by the time Horstley caught up, it was already too late.
They missed seeing even the taillights of the white van that Jiang Qin had taken away.
There was no sign of a car, no sign of a person, not even a shadow.
Even the shadow has vanished.
Huo Sili stood by the roadside, gazing at both sides. His tall and straight figure, for a moment, seemed like a leaf.
Like a fallen leaf that could fall at any moment.
It appears to hang high on the branch, standing upright, possessing a very resilient strength.
But it was already dry; a gust of wind and it would fall off like a piece of paper.
Just then, a person came out of the elevator; it was He Xu.
After following them, he felt guilty towards Jiang Qin because he really didn't want to see Huo Sili and Li Xueqian interacting. He felt that his boss had impure intentions and his conscience was being tormented.
So he stood in the corridor the whole time.
Later, after seeing that Horstley went in and closed the door, I didn't want to hear anything unpleasant, so I stood further away.
It wasn't until the old lady arrived in a hurry with Jiang Qin and a group of people from the old house that He Xu turned his attention back to Li Xueqian's ward and then quickly went over there as well.
Then I heard Li Xueqian say those two sentences: something about obstetrics and gynecology, something about being pregnant.
To be honest, He Xu was completely stunned at that moment.
But there was nothing he could do. His master had saved his and his family's lives, and from that moment on, He Xu swore to be loyal to Huo Sili.
So when Huo Sili ran down, he realized what was happening and quickly took the elevator to catch up.
They did catch up, but they really didn't want to get too close.
But the next second, He Xu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Mr. Huo!"
"Mr. Huo!"
……
"Holy crap!! Damn it, he... he really opened my eyes!"
"So, darling, what are you thinking now? You..."
"Listen to me first."
The video call connected, and after hearing what Jiang Qin said, Su Lejia on the other end of the line was about to explode.
After Jiang Qin said that, Su Lejia forced herself to calm down.
"Okay, you go first, but I'm warning you, Qinqin, don't tell me you don't want the child and want to have an abortion. I... I can't accept that!"
Su Lejia said this because she was afraid that Jiang Qin might do something to hurt herself after experiencing such a terrible thing today.
But clearly, she was overthinking it.
"What are you thinking? How could I not want children?"
By this time, Jiang Qin had calmed down and her tone became gentle.
But this gentleness gave Su Lejia a different feeling, making her involuntarily nervous.
A few seconds later, upon learning what Jiang Qin was about to do, Su Lejia's eyes widened.
As a self-proclaimed super, super good citizen of the 21st century.
Su Lejia had only ever seen this in novels, so hearing her best friend use that word in real life felt like a dimensional barrier had been shattered.
However, upon closer reflection, it seems that in this situation, only faking death could allow her best friend and her future goddaughter or godson to survive.
Realizing this, Su Lejia wished she could dig out Huo Sili's heart to see if it was really red.
Isn't it said that all men have masculinity?
How could such a tall man do such a disgusting thing?
It's like they've been studying with rats in the gutter.
That's absolutely disgusting.
"I'm perfectly fine, Qinqin. This is mainly your responsibility. You need to know that no matter what you do, I will support you, as long as you don't do anything foolish that will hurt yourself."
Su Lejia looked at Jiang Qin on the screen and said seriously.
"Also, after this matter is over, don't worry about me too much while you're out there—once you leave, he definitely won't believe you're really gone right away, he'll probably be looking for you."
"That's perfect timing. I'm planning to expand into overseas markets in a few months, and I'll be traveling to your area on business then. We can meet again then."
"Also, about money, make sure you have it ready before you do that. It's expensive outside, so I have some here. Take it and don't be shy."
Su Lejia is a very open-minded person, knowing that there is no better way to solve the current difficulties.
The solution, which didn't sound very appealing but was indeed a way to solve the problem, was to quickly accept it.
Hearing Su Lejia's words again and again, Jiang Qin, who thought she had calmed down, couldn't help but feel emotional again and her eyes reddened with emotion.
But she still declined, saying, "No need, Lele. I haven't spent much of the money I've saved over the years. This is just the right time to use it. I haven't touched the money from the auction of the paintings I painted before. Your money didn't grow on trees. You and Zhou Junxuan can save it for your wedding and to buy a new house."
When the topic turned to the wedding room, Su Lejia's thoughts drifted to the future, and she couldn't help but tear up as she looked at her best friend.
My heart was filled with countless emotions, which finally boiled down to, "Okay, let's stop talking about me for now and get back to your business."
"So, what exactly are your plans for faking your death? Are you planning to fake your death right away? Before or after you get the divorce certificate?"
These words caused Jiang Qin on the other side of the screen to fall silent for a moment.
But she quickly gave her answer: "Let's see how things go next Wednesday. If he still drags it out next Wednesday, then it'll be before we get the divorce certificate. After all, I really don't have much time left to waste with him."
On the other end of the video call, Su Lejia opened her mouth as if to say something, then closed it.
Jiang Qin noticed the questioning look in Su Lejia's eyes and said gently, "Lele, just say what you want to say."
