There was actually nothing in the bag.
I searched for other bags and found nothing either. I glanced at Leon, signaling that he had misjudged.
“You’re not really hiding people’s stuff, are you?” Leon said coldly.
“If that’s how you see me, then I have nothing to say. Thank you for defending me today, I am very grateful.” I said.
“I’m doing it just to save my face, not to help you.” Leon said.
“Anyway, the fact is that you really helped me today, I still need to thank you. But I can’t figure out, who the hell was setting me up?”
“It’s hard to say. It’s normal for people in families like mine to stab each other in the back. As long as they are a member of the family, they want to get the Hua family’s possessions. If they can kick someone off, then they will have less competitors to share their property.” Leon said.
“I never intended to share your family’s property. I’m just an outsider.”
“You’re a self-knowledgeable person. But what makes me wonder is why they don’t target me. You are of no importance to the whole family, and even if you were to be set up, that would be no great harm to me. They have no good reason to target you.”Leon said.
While his comments put me in a useless position, I actually agreed what he said. I certainly know what my role is in his family.
There was a silence again in the car.
Our conversation was too boring. Alex didn’t understand and fell asleep.
After arriving at the Maple Villa, I said to him, “Please take care of Alex, I won’t go in.”
Leon looked at me, got out of the car and gently picked up Alex then said, “Since you’re already here, let’s go inside. Tomorrow morning, Alex can be very happy to see you.”
Since he said so, I then went in.
Everyone who becomes a mom wants to be closer to their children, no matter how briefly the time is.
I lay in bed at night thinking about what happened at Hua’s house and couldn’t sleep. Then I thought about Leon and Nan Lin again, and became even more upset.
I didn’t think the thing was as simple as it seemed, but I couldn’t figure it out.
When I got up the next day, Alex asked me to take him to school with Leon.
Leon agreed to his request, and I agreed too.
Alex was happy all the way. When he arrived at the kindergarten, he waved goodbye to us with a smile on his face.
I watched Alex walk into the campus. By the time I twisted my head around, Leon’s face had turned a frosty look. He straightened his suit as he walked toward the parking lot. As he walked past me, a guy riding the motorcycle suddenly pulled up on the sidewalk and lunged at him.
I could clearly see that the man on the motorcycle was holding a sharp knife in his hand.
At that moment I barely hesitated, let out a loud cry and ran towards to Leon.
Leon reacted extremely promptly and turned back quickly after hearing my shout.
At this moment, the knife in the man’s hand slashed towards me as I tried to ward off the knife for Leon. After quickly turning around, Leon surprisingly extended his hand towards the knife and tried to warded off it.
Afterwards I heard the sound of people starting his motorcycle, the man on the motorcycle had already drove past Leon.
At this time, Xuanlong, who was not far away, had already started his car and chased that motorcycle.
Xuanlong first hit a sedan, but he didn’t stop, and after turning his direction, he continued to chase the motorcycle.
The man on the motorcycle quickly headed for the sidewalk. As it was about to pass between the greenery trees, Xuanlong’s car hit the rear of the motorcycle and the motorcycle ran away.
Xuanlong stopped the car and hadn’t gotten off yet, but the man surprisingly climbed the motorcycle and drove away quickly.
Xuanlong didn’t chase anymore either, but ran towards us and said, “Fourth Brother, are you alright?”
Leon raised his hand and I saw blood on the back of it .
He seemed not care, he said calmly, “He cut on my phone, the back of my hand just hurt a little. I’m fine.”
“Fourth Brother, who is this person and why did he attack you? He doesn’t look like a professional killer, or you wouldn’t be able to dodge this one. I am very sorry that I didn’t protect you well and let you get hurt.” Xuanlong said apologetically.
Xuanlong’s brow knitted. He seemed to blame himself for this attack.
“It’s okay.” Leon said blandly, “I’m still alive. I’ll have a meeting in the morning, why don’t you take me to the office.” said Leon.
“You might as well go to the hospital ” I said.
I was concerned about him, but Leon’s face suddenly changed, “What the hell were you just doing? You think you can protect me? Why did you save me regardless of your own safety? You think I would thank you? You are so stupid!”
I didn’t expect him to scold me suddenly, which was a bit much to get my head around.
Whether I’m stupid or not, I was trying to protect him at that moment, Why did he scold me?
“What are you still waiting for? Get in the car.” Leon still yelled at me.
I watched the back of his hand bleed, not bandying with him.
As we passed a drugstore, Xuanlong pulled over and went to buy some alcohol and a band-aid and gave Leon’s hand some simple treatment.
The wound really wasn’t deep, and he was lucky enough to use his hand to block the knife, only to cut some flesh.
I thought to myself, “How dare he call me stupid person? Was he smarter than me with his hands warding off the knife?
Arriving at the entrance of Leon’s company, He got out of the car and walked towards the company.
I also got out of the car, ready to try my luck at the city’s talent market again to see if I could get another job that suited me.
Coincidentally, when I was waiting for the bus nearby, I saw a car parked next to me. A traffic policeman came over and signaled the driver to drive the car away.
I had a deep impression of the car, which was Nan Lin’s.
I was wondering if she was making another scheme. So I stopped a taxi and asked the driver to follow her.
Nan’s car was red and the color glared. Now, I was in rush hour traffic, but it’s not hard to keep up her car.
I followed her for about half an hour. Then Nan’s car turned into an alley and stopped.
I paid the ride and quietly followed Nan Lin into the alley, then saw her enter a very small private clinic.
I was curious why she came here. Nan Lin was not a poor person. She would definitely go to a big hospital if she wanted to see a doctor, and would definitely not come to such a small clinic without a business license.
So she wasn’t here for seeing a doctor, she was definitely here for other reasons.
My attention was fixed on the man who attacked Leon on his motorcycle this morning.
The man was hit by Xuanlong’s car. Although he escaped, he must have been injured. Could that person be related to Nan Lin ?
Nan was here to see that man?
The more I think about it, the stranger I felt. Nan just wanted to be with Leon. She wanted to harm me, so how can she find someone to kill Leon? That didn’t seem to make sense.
This clinic was small. I wanted to go inside and see what was going on, but I was afraid of bumping into Nan Lin. I wanted Xuanlong to come here to find out about this, but I was no sure if it was related to the attack just now.
Just then, a man in a white coat came out, “Do you want to see a doctor?”
I had to nod my head stiffly. Then he told me to follow him inside.
