Chapter 379: Chapter 222: Visiting the Sick
Qu Yue glanced at Qi Qianqian who stood outside the car with tear-filled eyes, silently touched his forehead, "Ye’er, please tell the driver to start the car."
"Brother Bao, let’s go."
Wen Bao started the car and was just about to move forward, but Qi Qianqian blocked the front of the car. With a helpless sigh, Wen Bao reversed the car. The road was an S-shaped path which greatly affected the speed of reversing. Qi Qianqian fearlessly blocked the back, playing right into Wen Bao’s hands. With a press on the accelerator, the car quickly shot forward.
"Qu Yue!" Qi Qianqian stomped her feet and chased after it for a few steps before giving up helplessly.
Luo Ye glanced through the rearview mirror, "Mr. Qu, how did you turn her into Lin Daiyu? She wasn’t like this before."
Tang Luo exposed him, "He, playing the hero to rescue the beauty and acting cool, got himself entangled. Serves him right!"
Qu Yue’s face darkened, "Tang Luo, speak with some conscience. If it were you, could you coldly walk by and let her be raped and killed?"
Tang Luo rolled her eyes, "Why are you snapping at me? I’m just stating a fact. Rescuing her is fine, but you took her back and took care of her for so long, then turned into a cold King Yan, ignoring her. Haven’t you reflected on whether you did everything right?"
"Under those circumstances, she was terrified to the point of being weak as a noodle. If I had left her there, wouldn’t it have been the same as not rescuing her at all?
It was just some comforting food sent from the store, how did it become taking care of her all the time? Tangtang, you’re a girl too. You should understand the helplessness a girl feels when suddenly encountering such a situation..."
Luo Ye interrupted Qu Yue, "I get the general idea. Qi Qianqian was nearly molested and just happened to be rescued by Boss Qu. Now, the question is, have the perpetrators been caught?"
Qu Yue shook his head, "Not caught, but I’ve reported it. I provided sketches of three people’s appearances to the police. They think it’s the same group involved in Case 712, so it seems Qi Qianqian really walked back from death’s door."
Tang Luo apologized, "Boss Qu, I’m sorry!"
"It’s nothing..."
Tang Luo interrupted him, "What’s the rush, I haven’t finished yet. Why didn’t you tell me the truth? The version going around the school is that Qi Qianqian was harassed by some hooligans and you, Mr. Qu, heroically rescued her, making it seem like I’m being unreasonable, really."
"Alright, alright, my fault." Qu Yue apologized with a bitter smile, "I didn’t elaborate because I was afraid of scaring you."
"Are you hurt?" Luo Ye looked Qu Yue over with concern.
"Just some minor injuries, already healed."
Tang Luo retorted, "You looked like a swollen pig at the time."
"Tangtang, not arguing with me, are you upset? Luoluo has finally come out, and I just wanted to make her happy."
Luo Ye smirked, "I say, if you two keep bickering, I might start to suspect you have an affair. Such tit-for-tat seems like jealousy."
"Dead Luoluo, you know I’m speaking up for you, and yet you still speak of me like that. Don’t think just because you’ve trained for a few days I can’t handle you anymore. After dinner, let’s have a one-on-one!"
"That’s clearly anger from embarrassment." Luo Ye nudged Xing Nongyao, "Give a response."
"I completely agree with Luoluo’s viewpoint." Xing Nong nodded in agreement, and as Luo Ye looked at her, Yaoguang quickly nodded, "I agree too!"
Tang Luo rolled her eyes, "The three of you are in cahoots now..." She patted Xia Qianqian, who was grinning nonstop, "Sister, thank goodness I have you, or this little heart would have completely shattered!"
"Alright, sister will always care for you." Xia Qianqian melodramatically embraced Tang Luo and patted her.
The three quivered, "..."
Qu Yue hung up the phone, "You three have lost quite some weight. Let’s have a good meal at noon. I’ve had the kitchen make Luoluo’s favorite papaya stewed with sea cucumbers, Xing Nong’s favorite crispy meat, Yaoguang’s favorite braised yellow croaker, and other special dishes!"
Tang Luo cried out from behind, "This is naked revenge. Why are there none of the dishes Qianqian and I like to eat?"
"You both go there to eat every week, do I need to report that separately? Shrimp dumplings, sticky rice ribs, satisfied now?"
"Boss Qu, you’re not too bad!" Tang was satisfied.
...
After lunch, everyone had a pot of fruit tea before heading to Miaomiao’s house. Based on the address Miaomiao gave, they knocked on the door a long time with no response until the door next door opened and a woman in her seventies poked half her body out, "Are you looking for Miao Cuifeng?"
Luo Ye immediately stepped forward, "Granny, we are Miaomiao’s classmates. Do you know where they have gone?"
