There really were some things she had to retrieve herself.
Some documents, as well as several property deeds her parents had left her, including the deed to the villa where the Su family had once lived, along with some jewelry her mother had left her.
Qin Mohan concealed the gloom in his eyes. "I can send someone to retrieve them for you."
He didn't want her to have any further contact with Qin Yu's family.
Not the slightest bit.
Su Qiao hesitated for a while but still insisted, "I still have some things to take care of."
Qin Mohan lowered his eyelids slightly, concealing the viciousness and impatience in his eyes. "Whatever you want to do, I can do it for you."
As long as you stay, I'll give you whatever you want.
Su Qiao clenched her fists tighter and lowered her head. "No, I have to do it myself."
Thinking of all the abuse and humiliation she had suffered in the Qin family in her previous life, and remembering Qin Yu and Guo Xiaoyu's cruelty, she couldn't suppress the killing intent in her heart.
"Suit yourself."
Qin Mohan stared at her for a long while, his lips tightly pressed together. Then he rose and left after tossing out three stiff words.
The icy aura surrounding him made people instinctively keep their distance.
Su Qiao stared at the white wooden door that had slammed shut with a bang, somewhat puzzled.
"Xiao Si, did that man get angry again?"
It seemed so...
444 felt certain that the Great Demon King was angry. Didn't he look like he wanted to eat someone?
"He gets angry so easily. Why is he like a child?"
Su Qiao couldn't be bothered to indulge him. She merely shrugged and paid him no further attention.
As if remembering something, her expression changed. "Could he darken?"
He shouldn't darken over such a trivial matter, right?
444 froze and hurriedly checked.
"Let me see. His Darkening Value is currently 6/10. As long as it doesn't exceed ten, there's no problem."
Su Qiao blinked. "There are specific figures too?"
Of course.
"Then keep an eye on it. Since we can monitor it numerically, that's even better. I only need to check on it occasionally."
She had been worried that after she was discharged, she would be too far away from this man to keep an eye on him.
444 said solemnly, "Don't worry. This is my job."
"By the way, there's something strange."
"What?"
"That Li Dongnan was suddenly reported by someone. They said he had abused his position and accepted bribes, causing immense harm to his patients. He's been arrested now."
"I heard he'll be sentenced to many years in prison, and the hospital fired him too."
"How many bad things did that man do?"
Su Qiao hadn't expected that before she could make a move, he would already have fallen.
Still, those who committed too many injustices would bring about their own destruction. That man was bound to meet such an end eventually.
This saved her the trouble of acting herself.
Su Qiao stopped paying attention to it. She took out her phone and began looking up information on medicines in this world.
She had to use these few days to make something. Once she returned to the Qin family, it wouldn't be convenient anymore.
Qin Mohan left with a gloomy expression. He hadn't heard Su Qiao call him back, which made him even more displeased. His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.
Even so, he still instructed Lin Shen to reserve the dishes Su Qiao had just ordered at the hotel restaurant.
Su Qiao had thought that once Qin Mohan's anger passed, he would be fine. She hadn't expected not to see him for several days in a row.
Instead, various delicacies were delivered to her at regular intervals every day.
Besides that, the two caregivers treated her as though she were made of glass. They wouldn't even let her pick up her own water cup, taking such meticulous care of her that she began to wonder whether she was paralyzed.
What she didn't know was that the atmosphere in the Qin Group building had grown heavier with each passing day.
The senior executives who attended the daily meetings were practically freezing to death. Whenever a meeting began, they all kept their heads lowered, wishing they could turn invisible.
The cold aura radiating from the CEO was simply too intense, and his expression was far too dark.
They had already been afraid to approach the CEO. Now, whenever they spotted him from afar, they immediately hid.
Lin Shen had also been living through hell these past few days.
