114. Chapter 114: The Male Lead Begins to Suspect
Just as Sheng Tinglan's blade was about to fall, the Purified Water that the Baby System had redeemed for Luo Xixi happened to take effect, and all the negative effects on Luo Xixi were cleared.
With a "rabbit kicks the eagle" move, she kicked Sheng Tinglan's hand away, then turned and delivered a heavy kick to his chest, sending him three or four meters back, keeping a safe distance between them.
Luo Xixi's eyes were slightly red at this moment; her thoughts were in turmoil, and she glared at Sheng Tinglan with hatred, but she did not attack again, instead turning and jumping out the window, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.
Just at this moment.
Hearing the commotion in the study, Luo Shiqing hurried in.
She asked nervously, "Tinglan, I heard a loud noise in the study just now. What happened?"
No sooner had she finished speaking.
Luo Shiqing noticed the wrist Sheng Tinglan was holding; it had been kicked by Luo Xixi just now, and it was already red and beginning to swell. Luo Shiqing was startled, hurried over to grab Sheng Tinglan's hand, and asked in surprise, "Tinglan, what happened to your hand? Are you hurt?"
Sheng Tinglan said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just shattered."
!!!!!
Hearing the man's words, Luo Shiqing was even more astonished. Her eyes widened, and she said, "Shattered? How could your wrist be shattered when it was fine? Was the noise just now really someone breaking in? Did she hurt you? Why didn't the security system sound an alarm? Tinglan, should I call a doctor for you? Your hand must be treated as soon as possible..."
Luo Shiqing was in a state of chaos, not knowing what to do first.
"..."
Sheng Tinglan still stood where he was, motionless. His gaze was fixed intently on the direction of the window, his handsome face looking heavy and serious, and he seemed to be pondering something.
The movements of that Luo Xixi just now were so like his Xixi.
Although the system had told him that as long as one had points, one could redeem Fighting Skills, and the system would collect the top-tier skills from various worlds, Xixi's fighting techniques were very strong and it was very likely they had been recorded, so it was normal for her to use Xixi's moves.
But at that scene just now, Sheng Tinglan could not distinguish Xixi from this Luo Xixi; they were just like the same person!
Especially the look in her eyes when she looked at him before leaving, which made Sheng Tinglan feel a sense of bewilderment.
He suddenly recalled some past events.
It seemed he had said similar things to Xixi before, for the sake of another woman. Xixi had been very hurt at the time, and that pained, angry, and sorrowful look in her eyes was exactly like a reappearance.
Fighting skills could be identical, but what about the eyes?
Why could they also be so similar?
Why could this Luo Xixi's demeanor be so like Xixi's? Why?!
"Tinglan!!!"
Because Sheng Tinglan had not responded to her for a long time, Luo Shiqing saw his confused and panicked expression, and an indescribable sense of crisis swept through her entire body. She felt that something bad had happened, and if Sheng Tinglan continued to think about it, something would definitely go wrong! So Luo Shiqing could only call out to the man loudly to bring him back to his senses.
"..."
Being suddenly called out to by Luo Shiqing, Sheng Tinglan did indeed snap out of it.
He paused, then turned his head to look at Luo Shiqing.
Luo Shiqing's eyes were full of worry. She looked at him and asked with concern, "Tinglan, should we call the police? Who exactly came just now? What was their purpose?"
Sheng Tinglan did not hide anything in front of Luo Shiqing and said, "The person who came just now was your sister, Luo Xixi."
"What?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, a look of extreme resentment appeared on Luo Shiqing's face.
But she had not forgotten her persona as a gentle and virtuous person in front of Sheng Tinglan, so she quickly restored her facial expression, then put on a look of surprise and disbelief, saying, "How could it be? Why would sister come here? Is she trying to kill me?"
And in her heart.
Luo Shiqing was almost furious.
【Damn Luo Xixi, has that bitch gone crazy? How dare she run to Tinglan's home? Is she brain-dead from being overwhelmed? She even hurt Tinglan, I want to kill that bitch!!!】
The Heartthrob System came online at this moment and reported the good news to Luo Shiqing: 【Host, this is a good opportunity!】
【What good opportunity?!】
Luo Shiqing was emotionally agitated now, and her attitude was also very irritable.
The Heartthrob System explained: 【Luo Xixi actually deviated from the plot without authorization and rushed to the male lead's home to commit a crime. Once this matter is exposed, Luo Xixi will be finished, and the Luo Family will also be dragged into the storm again. This time the evidence is ironclad, they are doomed. Isn't this a good opportunity?】
【Eh, that's right!】
Hearing the Heartthrob System's explanation, Luo Shiqing began to rejoice again, saying: 【This is indeed a good opportunity to finish off the Luo Family! That bitch Luo Xixi is truly crazy, how could her brain snap to come here and go mad? Now that Tinglan hates her, I must take this opportunity to completely finish her off!】
Thus, Luo Shiqing hurriedly expressed her loyalty to Sheng Tinglan, saying, "Tinglan, although Luo Xixi is my sister, she actually did this to you, so I will absolutely not forgive her. You should call the police, don't worry about my feelings!"
"..."
Sheng Tinglan glanced at Luo Shiqing, who was trying to pretend to be righteous while failing to hide her ecstasy. His emotions were somewhat complex; although Luo Xixi's "walking into the trap" did indeed give him the opportunity to eradicate the Luo Family.
But for some reason, Sheng Tinglan's mind kept uncontrollably flashing back to that look in her eyes before she left.
So angry.
So sad...
Damn it.
She clearly wasn't his Xixi, so why did he still have such an illusion?
Even, wanting to let Luo Xixi go...
"Tinglan, why are you distracted again?"
Seeing Sheng Tinglan's absent-mindedness, Luo Shiqing grabbed his clothes with some worry, looked at the man with tender eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Was it because Luo Xixi suddenly broke in just now that you were scared? I don't know where she ran off to now, she might still be in the residential area. Should we quickly contact security to catch her first, so as to avoid further trouble?"
Sheng Tinglan swept a faint glance at Luo Shiqing and said, "Call the doctor first, the injury on my wrist needs to be treated."
!!
Hearing Sheng Tinglan say this, Luo Shiqing also realized that she should be concerned about the man's injury first.
She immediately blinked innocently, afraid that the man would think she didn't care about him, and made excuses for herself: "Actually, I wanted to call the doctor first, but I was afraid that Luo Xixi would come back, so I wanted to have security catch her first. However, your injury is more important, Tinglan. I'll contact the doctor right away!"
Saying this.
Luo Shiqing took out her phone and contacted the family doctor.
Sheng Tinglan did not stop Luo Shiqing either; he withdrew his gaze, then looked toward the window again, appearing lost in thought...
