The door was quickly pushed open, and Qin Tianyi walked in. He glanced at Su Kangxi’s hand on Gu Susu’s clothes and said coldly, "What are you doing?" Looking at him, she felt this policeman looked a bit familiar.
Gu Susu stood up and walked to his side, saying, "Tianyi, you forgot, you've met him. He's my friend from the orphanage, Little Dot."
Qin Tianyi ignored Su Kangxi and fiercely pulled Gu Susu into his arms. Seeing that several buttons on her clothes had been torn off, one side of her face was swollen, and there were scratches and bruises on her neck, he asked with anger and heartache, "Did Qin Tianlang do all this?"
Gu Susu felt very uncomfortable hearing this.
What did he mean by "all this"? If it wasn't all Qin Tianlang, did Little Dot have a hand in it too? His words were clearly targeting Little Dot.
He didn't see Little Dot in his police uniform, the person who had rushed to save her in time. Yet, he was looking at him with such hostility. He was truly petty.
"Qin Tianlang could subdue all of us and brought two other people. They aren't good people either. Qin Tianlang ran away, but those two were caught by Little Dot and his colleagues," Gu Susu answered him truthfully.
Qin Tianyi merely said "oh" indifferently.
Su Kangxi walked up to them and could feel Qin Tianyi's dislike for him.
"Mr. Qin, the security system of this house should be upgraded. Also, if disputes cannot be handled properly, please hire bodyguards to protect Sister Susu. My colleagues are waiting for me, so I should leave."
"I know all of this, of course. You police officers really love to mind other people's business. I won't see you out. Make yourselves at home," Qin Tianyi said to Su Kangxi with a calm, disdainful expression.
Su Kangxi glanced at Gu Susu and instructed, "Sister Susu, take care of yourself. I'm leaving now."
Gu Susu nodded and watched Su Kangxi depart.
At this moment, Chen Ma walked into the room with ice wrapped in a towel. Upon seeing Qin Tianyi, tears flowed again. "Young Master, you're finally back. Just now... just now that scoundrel, he... he almost... the young madam..."
"He didn't succeed, I'm fine," Gu Susu said quickly, glancing at Qin Tianyi.
Chen Ma nodded busily and said, "Yes, yes, thankfully the two policemen arrived in time. I've brought the ice. Young Madam, please apply it to your face quickly."
As she reached to apply the ice to Gu Susu's face, Qin Tianyi took the ice from her hand and said, "It's alright. You've also been frightened. Go rest, I'll do it."
Chen Ma hesitated for a moment, then hummed in agreement and left the room. At the doorway, she still remembered to tug at Xiao Lin's sleeve, "Let's go, don't disturb the Young Master and the others."
Xiao Lin understood and followed Chen Ma downstairs.
Only Gu Susu and Qin Tianyi were left in the room. Gu Susu quickly said, "It's just a superficial wound. I'll apply it myself and be fine."
Qin Tianyi impatiently placed the ice heavily in her hand and turned to open the cabinet in the room.
Gu Susu didn't know what he intended to do. She assumed he was angry again seeing Su Kangxi and her talking alone in the room. Not wanting to bother with him, she sat down and placed the towel-wrapped ice on her cheek. The biting cold gave her a sense of lingering fear after surviving a disaster. After two years, Qin Tianlang was even more terrifying than before.
If Qin Tianlang had merely acted recklessly relying on his family background two years ago, then now he was no different from a desperate fugitive. Qin Yangye and Jin Meiyao were both in prison. Who else could control him? Moreover, how were he and Ai Yiwei living now? Were they relying on illegal activities?
She couldn't help but recall Qin Tianlang's words when he was pinning her down and talking to Qin Tianyi on the phone, saying that Qin Tianyi had caused the death of the old Mrs. Qin, and that Qin Tianyi was a murderer.
She shivered and secretly glanced at Qin Tianyi. Had Qin Tianyi also changed from two years ago? But then she saw him taking out a first-aid kit from the cabinet, and she quickly averted her gaze.
Qin Tianyi turned around, holding the medical kit, and sat down beside her, ordering, "Lift your chin."
"Okay." Gu Susu obediently raised her chin as he instructed.
He took out cotton swabs and iodine from the medical kit and gently applied them to the wounds on her neck.
Gu Susu knew his movements were already very gentle, but when the iodine touched the wound, she couldn't help but wince.
"Does it sting?" Qin Tianyi's voice was like a husky low-pitched boom. The warm breath from his exhalation brushed against her neck, making her heart race.
"It's okay," Gu Susu said, pressing the ice pack tightly against her cheek to calm her racing heart.
Qin Tianyi looked down along her neck. The scratches extended down to her collarbone.
He suddenly pulled open her collar to get a clearer look. Gu Susu was caught off guard, and it was too late to cover herself with her hands.
Qin Tianyi gasped. Her body was covered in bruises, scratches, and even bite marks. He gritted his teeth and said, "Qin Tianlang, I'm going to kill you!"
Seeing the ferocity on his face, Gu Susu shivered. Fearing he might actually kill someone, she quickly pulled her collar back and said, "He did this just to hurt me and make me scream, but I didn't make a sound. Also, when I was in danger, Xiao Lin bravely stepped forward to block him for a while. So I'm really fine. He just wanted to create some marks to intentionally anger you. Don't fall for it."
The more she said this, the more Qin Tianyi's heart ached. This damned woman always thought she could endure everything and didn't need him, right?
He increased the pressure with the cotton swab as he cleaned her wound, causing Gu Susu sudden pain. She couldn't help but cry out, "Ah, be gentle."
"Aren't you very resilient? Not afraid of pain? Why are you crying now?" Qin Tianyi said with a mocking tone.
Gu Susu was speechless for a moment. She had endured it in front of Qin Tianlang, but why did she become so delicate when Qin Tianyi was applying medicine?
Qin Tianyi coldly put away the medicine box and stared at her, saying, "Different men, different methods. You truly are a master at seducing men."
"What?" Gu Susu was baffled by his words.
"Don't play dumb. My eldest brother has never forgotten you since the first time he saw you. Your charm is indeed considerable."
"Qin Tianyi, you're also a scoundrel!" Gu Susu's face turned pale with anger. "I haven't seen him in two years, and I don't know what happened to your Qin family. Why does he hate you so much? He clearly wants to deal with you, and I'm just your scapegoat today, yet you're saying this about me! I live a clean life, why am I being trampled on like this by you all!"
Qin Tianyi threw the medicine box aside, his breath catching. His expression became even more terrifying than before.
"You have the nerve to say you live a clean life? When has the men around you ever stopped? There was Chang Qingchuan before, and now there's this Su Kangxi, and my eldest brother is always thinking about you! What kind of work have you been doing during these two years you've been gone? How many men have you had to seduce in those nightclubs to meet your sales targets?" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his fists clenching tightly.
Did this woman consider him dead? How many more cuckold's hats did she want to put on him!
