Ever since she ran out of the hospital last night, Qiao Anhao hadn't rested much, nor had she eaten anything. She was already heavily injured, and now her face was pale and her entire body was sweating profusely. She slowly sat down on the steps in front of the villa, hugging her knees and burying her head in them. Her breathing was slightly unstable.
It was already autumn, and even though it wasn't as scorching as summer, it still felt hot and stuffy.
Qiao Anhao's skin was fair and tender, but after a while, it started to turn red. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were weak and she didn't have the strength.
Qiao Anhao could only quietly squat on the steps, closing her eyes and adjusting her breathing. After a long time, she finally adjusted her breathing. At that moment, the sun was already setting in the west.
Qiao Anhao held onto the steps with one hand and stood up. She slowly walked down the steps, walking out of Lu Jinnian's villa.
She had hailed a taxi. Mount Yi was a remote area, so she could only take the bus back to the city.
Qiao Anhao walked out of Mount Yi's residential area and walked about two hundred meters to the east before reaching the bus stop.
Her mind was filled with thoughts of where Lu Jinnian was. Her mind was in a daze until the bus stopped. The driver called out to her a few times, but she didn't respond. That was when she suddenly remembered something. She waved at the bus, but the bus had already sped up and was gradually getting further away.
Qiao Anhao lowered her arm, waiting patiently for the next bus. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a car brake in front of her. The window rolled down, and someone called out to her. "Miss Qiao."
Qiao Anhao raised her head abruptly. When she saw that it was Lu Jinnian's assistant, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes. She quickly rushed to the car.
"Lu Jinnian, where is he?" Qiao Anhao asked as she pressed her face against the window. When she saw that Lu Jinnian wasn't in the backseat, a hint of disappointment hung on her face. She lowered her head in frustration.
The assistant didn't answer her question. Instead, he got out of the car and opened the backseat door. "Miss Qiao, get in first. I'll take you back to the city in a bit."
Qiao Anhao nodded lightly and sat in the car.
Through the rearview mirror, the assistant saw that Qiao Anhao's face was pale and asked worriedly, "Miss Qiao, are you not feeling well? You don't look too well. "
"No." Qiao Anhao forced a smile and shook her head. "Do you know where Lu Jinnian is? Can you take me to him? "
Just like before, the assistant skipped over her request and passed her a bottle of water. "Drink some water."
Qiao Anhao hesitated for a moment, then took the water and said in a low voice, "Thank you."
The assistant drove Qiao Anhao back to Lu Jinnian's villa in Mount Yi. He closed all the doors and windows, and even covered all the furniture with a white cloth. Even the bamboo chairs and stools in the courtyard were kept in the villa's storage.
The assistant's actions made it seem as though no one would come here in the future... Qiao Anhao's heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but ask the assistant, who was closing the door, "Lu Jinnian, is he not going to stay here anymore?"
