Chapter 1232 Like waking up from a dream
The cold handcuffs were cuffed around his wrists, and he finally started to struggle as if awakened from a dream, shouting hysterically: "Jiang Mubai! You will die a horrible death! You actually called the police to arrest me! I won't let you go!"
Jiang Mubai looked at his crazy appearance without a ripple in his heart, and even found it a little ridiculous.
She gently broke free from Cheng Yunchuan's embrace, walked up to Qin Yuanqing, looked down at him, and said in a cold tone: "Qin Yuanqing, who do you think you are? Do I need to call the police to arrest you? You are just a clown who directed and acted in a farce."
Qin Yuanqing was frightened by the coldness in her eyes. His struggling movements gradually stopped, leaving only his chest heaving violently. He stared at Jiang Mubai as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
"Take him away." With the order, Qin Yuanqing was dragged out by the police, and peace finally returned to the ward.
Jiang Mubai took a deep breath, turned to look at Cheng Yunchuan, and forced a smile: "Thank you, Cheng Yunchuan.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently and held her in his arms: "Silly girl, why thank you? It is my responsibility to protect you."
His tone was gentle, but it was filled with unquestionable firmness.
Jiang Mubai leaned in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed.
She closed her eyes, feeling the tranquility and warmth of the moment, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.
However, this moment of tranquility was soon broken when the door of the ward was pushed open again. This time it was Jiang Wan who came in. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of worry.
"Mubai, are you okay? I heard..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Jiang Mubai.
"I'm fine, Mom." Jiang Mubai patted her hand gently, signaling her to rest assured.
Jiang Wan then noticed Cheng Yunchuan standing beside her. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she put on a polite smile: "Mr. Cheng, thank you for saving Mu Bai."
"You're too polite, Auntie. It's my honor to protect Mu Bai." Cheng Yunchuan smiled slightly, his tone respectful and appropriate.
Jiang Wan looked at the intimacy between the two and felt mixed emotions.
She knew Cheng Yunchuan's feelings for Jiang Mubai, and she also knew that Jiang Mubai was not heartless towards Cheng Yunchuan. It was just that there was always a thorn in her heart that prevented her from fully accepting Cheng Yunchuan.
"Mu Bai, are you hungry? I'll go buy you something to eat." Jiang Wan found an excuse to leave the ward. She needed some time to digest all this.
Jiang Mubai looked at Jiang Wan's back as she left and sighed in her heart. She knew what Jiang Wan was thinking and she also knew that she owed her too much.
"What are you thinking about?" Cheng Yunchuan's gentle voice sounded in her ears.
Jiang Mubai came back to his senses and shook his head: "Nothing."
Cheng Yunchuan looked at her, a trace of heartache flashed in his eyes. He reached out his hand and gently stroked her cheek: "Mu Bai, you don't have to carry everything by yourself. I am here. I will always be with you and protect you."
Jiang Mubai looked at his affectionate eyes, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She nodded and leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling his warmth and care.
Cheng Yunchuan suddenly remembered something and took out a small exquisite box from his pocket: "By the way, this is for you."
Jiang Mubai took the box puzzledly, opened it and saw a sparkling diamond ring inside.
"You..." Jiang Mubai looked at him in surprise, speechless for a moment.
Cheng Yunchuan smiled gently, picked up the ring, and gently put it on her ring finger: "Marry me, Mu Bai."
Jiang Mubai looked at the ring on her hand with mixed feelings. She once thought that she would never get married again in her life, but now, she couldn't refuse Cheng Yunchuan's proposal.
"I..." Jiang Mubai was about to speak when the door of the ward was pushed open again. This time, a man in a black suit came in, followed by several bodyguards.
The man walked up to Cheng Yunchuan and bowed respectfully: "Master, the master asks you to go back."
Cheng Yunchuan's face darkened instantly. He glanced at Jiang Mubai, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes: "I have to go back."
Jiang Mubai nodded. She knew that the situation of the Cheng family was complicated and Cheng Yunchuan couldn't always be with her.
After Cheng Yunchuan left, Jiang Mubai sat alone on the hospital bed, looking at the ring on his hand, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
She didn't know what was waiting for her, but she knew that no matter what happened, she would not give up.
Suddenly, the lights in the ward flickered a few times and then went out completely. Jiang Mubai was startled and subconsciously looked out the window, only to find that the entire building was plunged into darkness.
power cut?
Just then, the door of the ward slowly opened and a dark shadow walked in silently.
Inside the ward, darkness enveloped everything like a thick fog. Jiang Mubai looked towards the door vigilantly, his eyes slightly cold.
She quietly clenched the cell phone in her hand. Even though her body had not yet recovered, she would never lose her composure when in danger.
The dark shadow stood at the door, seemingly observing something. Soon, footsteps began to sound, getting closer and closer.
"Who?" Jiang Mubai asked in a cold voice. His voice was not loud, but it revealed an intimidating chill.
The shadow did not respond, but she vaguely heard a slight laugh, a kind of sarcasm that was not deliberately concealed, brief but creepy.
Jiang Mubai's eyes darkened slightly. She calmly slid her phone onto the bedside table, quickly fumbled for the buttons, swiped the screen, and set it to recording mode.
The man finally took a few steps closer. He obviously did not try to hide the sound of his footsteps. His steady pace seemed like some kind of psychological tactic.
Because of the angle, the light vaguely illuminated part of the other person's face. He was a man in his thirties, with cold eyebrows and an ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth.
Jiang Mubai leaned back on the bed and raised his chin in a relaxed manner: "You came tonight just to tell me that the Jiang family is going to sell people again? Unfortunately, I am no longer a white flower that they can bully at will."
The man smiled even more deeply and nodded in response: "Ms. Jiang is indeed smart, but since you mentioned the Jiang family, I suddenly became a little curious. In your last life, when you were sent to the Jiang family to be forced to drink, were you also so stubborn?"
Jiang Mubai raised her head suddenly, her eyes suddenly turned cold. The other person's words pierced her heart, and even touched her deepest pain point without missing a word. She had never revealed the secret of her rebirth to anyone! But how did this stranger in front of her know it?
The air suddenly turned cold, and the room was dead silent. Jiang Mubai sneered, and although it was a smile, it was sharper than a knife: "I don't care who you are, and I don't want to know, but since you know these things, you'd better understand my character better."
The man raised his eyebrows, seeming to be interested: "For example?"
Jiang Mubai's voice was slightly cold: "For example, I don't bother to ask nonsense questions, I just like to send people to hell."
As soon as she finished speaking, her fingers quickly dialed the quick alarm button stored in advance on the bedside table.
