Chapter 920: Seeking the Truth (3)

was as if someone had choked her throat, her face flushed red and she couldn't utter a word for a long time. Blood flowed along the wound on her head, both terrifying and strangely comical."Get two pe...From the moment Xiao Nan left her home, the village head had always felt a deep sense of guilt. He let out a heavy sigh,

"I'm sorry, I didn't manage the villagers well. Please rest assured, I will definitely investigate the truth and give you an answer."

"Thank you, Village Chief," Menglan's lips curled into a smile, her eyes rippling with a gentle tenderness. "You can't be blamed for this. After all, this matter is too big and can't be resolved easily."

The village head pursed his lips and finally said, “Forget it, I’ll just tell you the truth. In fact, Xiaonan came back to the village a few days ago, and many villagers have seen her.”

"But hearing you say this, I feel like Xiaonan's whereabouts are very strange. He rarely goes out this time he came back. His wife is in charge of buying daily necessities and working the fields. Many people joke that he's becoming lazier."

After listening, Menglan and Fengmu exchanged a glance.

Then Menglan had a plan in mind.

Need I say more

Xiao Nan's every move seems suspicious. The reason he does so many things is to hide his true intentions.

Because I felt guilty, I wanted to hide.

……

After much deliberation, Meng Lan decided to hold back and not startle the snake in the grass.

If Xiaonan really came back, he must still be at home right now. He'll eventually come out one day.

It was late at night.

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Feng Mu and Meng Lan returned to the clinic warehouse.

As soon as I opened the old, creaky door, I found the warehouse crammed full of hand warmers, thick blankets, and all sorts of snacks.

With the appearance of these things, the originally empty warehouse became much more plentiful.

Menglan walked forward and picked up a card from the table. It read:

"Benefactors, thank you very much for your generous help. To express our gratitude, we have prepared some supplies to give to you. It's a small gesture of appreciation."

After seeing the card, Menglan's eyes revealed a glimmer of gratitude.

I never expected everyone to take such good care of them.

This brought a warm feeling to her heart, an indescribable warmth.

"They're all very kind to you." Feng Mu walked up behind her and reminded her softly, "That's why you can't be lenient. You have to fight hard to catch the culprit as soon as possible and clear your name, understand"

At his words, Menglan's lips tightened.

Immediately, she nodded forcefully as if she had made a decision.

As Feng Mu said, she should indeed seize the opportunity now and clear her name as soon as possible.

After waking up, Menglan felt much lighter. She tidied her entire room first before taking off her makeup lightly and returning to bed.

Just as the results came back, she saw Feng Mu lying on her bed.

Feng Mu's figure was tall and handsome. He lay on the bed, almost covering the entire surface.

Seeing this, Meng Lan's face flushed red, "How did you end up sleeping here You... you quickly get up, don't lie on top of this!"

Hearing her words, Feng Mu's eyebrows raised slightly, "If not here, where else would I lie"

Lying somewhere…

Meng Lan thought for a moment before gesturing with her eyes toward the ground.

And Feng Mu also noticed her little movements, couldn't help but sneer, "Meng Lan, don't you think you're being cruel Letting me sleep alone on this cold floor, what if something happens Will you be responsible"

Are you responsible

Hearing this, Menglan bit her lip tightly, a hint of embarrassment flashing in her eyes.

She is definitely to blame.

But one could also clearly feel that Feng Mu was just looking for trouble.

"So, what do you want to do" Menglan looked at him, deciding to take a deep breath and have a serious conversation.

"Bed."

Feng Mu Yi spoke with righteous indignation, reminding her.

Dream Lan felt a sense of helplessness. She didn't bother arguing with Feng Mu anymore. She walked straight to the bed, pulled up an extra blanket, and said coldly, "Fine, then you sleep by yourself. Have a good dream tonight, I'll sleep on the floor."

Saying that, she found another piece of wood to lay on the ground and prepared to sleep there.

Looking at the puddles on the ground, Menglan's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.

If she just slept like that, it wouldn't be long before her whole body was covered in a rash of tiny red pimples.

Because the ground was too damp.

Meng Lan gritted her teeth, but after much deliberation, she still spread the blanket on the wooden board and prepared to sleep on the spot.

Just as she was about to lie down, a sudden and extremely forceful grip on her arm from behind yanked her into someone's embrace.

"Menglan, do you really have to do this to me"

Feng Mu's voice held a touch of helplessness.

"What does it mean to sleep together" Menglan pursed her lips and looked up at him, "Feng Mu, thank you for taking care of me this time, but I hope you understand that we never had any relationship in the first place, so sleeping together is not appropriate!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Mu's expression immediately darkened, and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

But Meng Lan directly broke free from his arm and continued to tidy the bed.

Feng Mu just stood not far away, coldly watching her actions, but didn't say a word.

Seeing Menglan about to lie on the bed, Feng Mu suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, pulling her aside with force and reminding her in a deep voice, "Sleep on the bed."

Meng Lan looked at him, her eyes filled with panic, "I... I don't need it, can you please stop forcing me"

"I sleep on the floor," Feng Mu reminded her, his voice almost gritted through his teeth. "Do you understand"

"..."

Menglan stood frozen in place.

She looked at Feng Mu lying on the wooden board, and a feeling of sympathy inexplicably surged in her heart.

Suddenly, I felt overwhelmed with guilt.

But she bit her lip and said nothing, turning back to bed.

Meng Lan was covered in blankets and fell asleep.

As long as she doesn't look, nothing will happen.

Suddenly being sent to live in such a strange place with such terrible conditions, Menglan couldn't fall asleep at all.

Until the middle of the night, not a single thought of sleep crossed her mind. She got out of bed and reached for a glass, ready to pour herself some water.

Just then, she heard a heavy cough coming from the bed.

It originated from Feng Mu.

Is he sick

A touch of surprise flickered in Meng Lan's eyes. She walked over and softly called out, "Feng Mu, can you hear me"

But she called out for a long time, and Feng Mu didn't respond to her at all.see me worse than dead! I'm miserable for you to see, and you're not happy about it!""Hé Hánchuān's pupils reflected her ferocious visage. His heart felt a mixture of pain, dullness, and something els...
