"Brother, are you not feeling well?" Su Xianyu was tightly locked in the man's embrace and asked uneasily.
Feng Lin felt as if his whole body was on fire. Subconsciously, he knew his state was off and wanted to push her away. But the moment his fingers touched the girl's cool skin, they seemed to have a mind of their own. Instead of letting go, he pulled her even closer into his arms.
The usually cold and aloof man now had a flushed face. He rubbed against the girl constantly, as if looking for a place to cool off.
Su Xianyu finally couldn't hold on any longer, and they both fell onto the sofa.
The girl's hair got caught on the man's button, and the temperature in the air gradually rose.
Sweat dripped from his forehead. Feng Lin gritted his back teeth tightly.
He recalled the time when he was drugged before, the red - painted nails that roamed on his body.
His mental cleanliness kicked in, and he felt nauseous in his throat. He tried his best to restrain his restless hands.
After struggling for a few minutes, his eyes gradually cleared up.
Just as he thought!
Su Xianyu knew that it was the effect of the live - stream rewards. The drug's effect on Feng Lin was dissipating.
Good. This was not a good time to offer herself. She didn't have to knock him out herself.
She straightened her expression, opened her innocent almond eyes wide, and blushed as she reached out her hand. She originally wanted to untangle her caught hair, but Feng Lin grabbed her wrist.
The man's eyes swept over her hand on his shirt, as if silently questioning.
Su Xianyu blushed and said, "My hair is caught."
Feng Lin tilted his head back and took a deep breath, then he yanked off the button.
Clink - clank—
The button rolled on the ground.
Feng Lin sat up straight. "Xiaoyu, why?"
Su Xianyu got up and stepped back, then sat up on the sofa and smoothed her hair.
The blush on her face hadn't faded yet, and her eyes were full of confusion. "Brother, what are you talking about?"
"Did you enter my lounge before I came this morning?"
"Brother, how did you know? I opened the door and found you weren't there, so I locked the door and left."
"Anything else?"
"That's all. Brother, why are you talking so strangely today?"
"I clearly..."
Feng Lin closed his eyes and suppressed the violent emotions in his heart.
"Forget it. You can go."
After getting along for so many days, he had already regarded Xiaoyu as his younger sister.
But the matter of drugging really touched his bottom line.
If it were in the past, he would surely have arranged for something to teach the person who dared to scheme against him a profound lesson.
But looking at the girl's clear and innocent eyes.
Forget it. It was his own fault for misjudging people. He'd just take it as a lesson.
"You can go. Don't call me brother anymore."
Su Xianyu's face instantly turned deathly pale, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Brother, don't joke like this casually."
"Is it because I said I'd give you double gifts last time but only brought one, and you're angry?"
She wiped the corner of her eye with one hand and took out a small box from her pocket with the other.
"I didn't forget. Look..."
Feng Lin got up from the sofa and waved his hand to knock the box away.
Crash—
The clay figurine inside fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The air instantly fell silent.
Su Xianyu stared fixedly at the fragments on the ground and didn't come to her senses for a long time.
"All that talk about family was just a lie."
She took out the key from her pocket and gently placed it on the table.
Then she slowly stood up and stepped over the broken figurine on the ground.
"I've overstepped during this period. I'll avoid you in the hospital from now on so as not to bother you."
Having said that, Su Xianyu opened the door of the lounge and walked out with her back straight.
Feng Lin stared blankly at the key on the table and the glistening teardrop beside it.
Lin Jiao in the corridor looked at Su Xianyu coming out in surprise.
So fast!
Could it be that some people were all talk?
Forget it. For the sake of money, she'd take the plunge!
Knock, knock, knock～
"Xiaoyu, I just..." "Who are you?"
Feng Lin opened the door, but there was a strange face in front of him.
A sudden sharp pain shot through his head, and his face turned even colder.
Recognizing the nurse's uniform on her, Feng Lin thought she was a newly - recruited nurse who had gone to the wrong room.
"This is my private lounge. The nurses' lounge is downstairs."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut and rushed downstairs to the laboratory for a blood test.
Lin Jiao's lips parted slightly, and her eyes were full of disbelief.
She had been with Ruan Sisi for so long. In just a few days, Feng Lin didn't recognize her!
Could it be an excuse to fob her off?
But the look of unfamiliarity in Feng Lin's eyes just now didn't seem to be feigned.
Lin Jiao was extremely puzzled. She lingered outside for a long time but didn't see anyone come back, so she left dejectedly.
---
The more Feng Lin thought about it after getting the blood test results, the more strange he felt.
The report showed that everything was normal!
As a doctor, he was very sure that his state this morning was abnormal.
But when he recalled it later, he felt that everything that happened at that time was very strange.
Why did Xiaoyu suddenly drug him? Why did the drug's effect disappear inexplicably? If it wasn't Xiaoyu, then who...
Right, the surveillance cameras!
He couldn't wait to call Chen Shui.
Feng Lin turned around and walked directly towards the surveillance room on the top floor of Yuanya Hospital.
"This doesn't comply with the regulations. You can't check the hospital's surveillance cameras privately even if you're a doctor."
Being blocked from investigating the truth, a sharp pain started to throb in Feng Lin's forehead again.
He closed his eyes and took out all the cash from his wallet.
A thick stack of red bills was placed on the table. The security guard glanced at it a few times and quickly grabbed the money and stuffed it into the drawer.
"I'm in a hurry. I'll submit an application to the hospital later."
"Alright, alright. Just this once."
"I can find the surveillance footage of the sixth - floor corridor by myself."
"Did you lose something, young man? Let me tell you, in our hospital before..."
Amidst the chattering voice from the other side, Feng Lin finally found the footage he was looking for.
Before going to work today, Su Xianyu appeared twice in total.
Once at six o'clock in the morning, Su Xianyu knocked on the door, then used the key to open the door of Feng Lin's lounge, and came out a few seconds later.
The other time was around the shift change in the early morning. Su Xianyu lowered her head and directly opened the door with the key. She went in for a few minutes and then left.
"This young girl looks so young, but why is she doing sneaky things? Should we call the police and arrest her? Let me see her name tag. It's Su..."
Feng Lin's expression turned cold. He suddenly zoomed out the picture. "No need. I didn't lose anything."
"Hey, you're such an ungrateful person."
[Hehe, now the evidence is conclusive! Except for Su Xianyu, no one else entered Feng Lin's lounge.]
[Right. Even if others wanted to do something, they didn't have the chance.]
[How could this happen! I really misjudged you, Sister Xiaoyu. I even rewarded you before!]
[I'm turning from a fan to a hater! She really has a good plan. If she had succeeded, she would have definitely clung to Feng Lin.]
[Wait, something seems wrong. Why is Feng Lin rewinding the video?]
Feng Lin sat in front of the screen and observed the surveillance footage on it repeatedly.
The nurses in the hospital all wore the same nurse's uniforms and medical masks. The name tags were the most intuitive and accurate way to distinguish their identities.
But when Xiaoyu appeared in the early morning, he inexplicably felt something was off. What exactly was wrong?
Feng Lin took a screenshot of the frame when Su Xianyu had her back to the camera while opening the door and gradually zoomed in.
He found it!
