144 Could She Be Any Dumber Than This?

Upon arriving at the sick bay, Yin Shaojie found it empty. There was no sign of Mu Xiaoxiao.

He wrinkled his brows reflexively. Even though he suspected that he had been fooled by Han Qiqing, he still couldn’t help but worry.

Just then, a doctor walked past. Blocking his path, he asked, “Where is Mu Xiaoxiao? Is she not resting inside?”

Coincidentally, that doctor was the one who had examined Mu Xiaoxiao earlier and was a little taken aback by this. After realizing that it was Young Master Jie in front of him, he answered quickly, “Young Master Jie, might you be talking about the girl whose head was hit by a ball?”

Yin Shaojie’s heart tightened. It seemed like Han Qiqing wasn’t lying. Mu Xiaoxiao, that fool, had really been hit by a ball.

Could she be any dumber than this?

She still thought about sending a video to placate him even though she had already been injured so badly by the hit.

His heart softened as he thought about Mu Xiaoxiao’s tone in her message, which had pleaded with him to stop being angry so pitiably.

He remembered that something similar had happened when both of them were young. After they had fallen out, she had fallen down and scraped her hands while chasing after him as he ran away. She had ignored her injuries, however, because placating him was her only desire. In the end, both of them had made up quickly after he found out that she had injured herself.

Yin Shaojie felt frustrated all of a sudden. He wondered what he was doing and why he had been so furious.

When he had seen the picture, he only remembered feeling that something had snapped in his brain before an uncontrollable fury burst forth from him.

If he had calmed down to think things through, he would have realized why Mu Xiaoxiao had chosen to lie to him.

However, he was now utterly confused about what he was angry for. Was it because Mu Xiaoxiao had lied to him or the contents of the picture?

Never mind that now!

He should look for her before anything else.

“It’s her. Is she in serious condition? Isn’t she supposed to be resting here? Why is there no sign of her?” Yin Shaojie interrogated the doctor relentlessly. His expression, with his knitted brows, repelled people from coming close to him.

Met with Young Master Jie, the doctor was inevitably frightened, for this young master was infamous for his unfathomable fury and also had the absolute and final say in matters within Shangde. He was terribly afraid that he would offend this person.

“The student’s condition isn’t serious at all, and there is no concussion. She will recover if she rests well,” the doctor replied respectfully.

“Where did she go? Can’t you answer all my questions in a single go?” Yin Shaojie was annoyed.

The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. “M-My apologies, Young Master Jie.”

Yin Shaojie said sharply, “Can you hurry up and spit it out?! Where is she?”

“She hasn’t been gone for long; her boyfriend came to take her away,” the doctor replied in a single breath.

“Boyfriend?” Hearing this, Yin Shaojie’s forehead wrinkled even more, looking as if it could squash a fly in between the folds of his skin. His icy aura made the doctor feel the urge to retreat from his presence.

The doctor could only nod. “Yes, her boyfriend. He was the one who brought her here too.”

“Which one? Lu Yichen?” Yin Shaojie’s tone was freezing.

The doctor knew Lu Yichen of course, for he was one of the notable people in Shangde. He shook his head. “It’s not him. It’s another boy.”

“Who?” Yin Shaojie furrowed his brows. An image of Mu Xiaoxiao’s first day in school flashed into his mind. At that time, she had been hanging out with a boy.

Could it be that boy?

Yin Shaojie turned to leave but stopped suddenly. Eyes flashing with aggressiveness, he said to the doctor, “You’d better listen up. She’s my woman! Remember that!”
