Before this, Lin Meng had learned self-defense techniques from Miao Qing, Rong Ling, and Cui Liu. At this crucial moment, they unexpectedly proved effective. She suddenly retracted her neck and quickly retreated backwards. Li Lanqiu was skilled, seeing this, she propped up the computer desk with one hand and jumped up, directly leaping over the seemingly large computer desk surface and pounced towards Lin Meng. That agile movement made it impossible to associate her with the woman who had previously seemed so frail, easily blown over by a gust of wind or collapsing to the ground with trembling chills. She looked more like a trained fighter!
Lin Meng's eyes widened, and she quickly dodged to the side. Then, she raised her foot and kicked towards Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu was caught off guard by this seemingly fragile Lin Meng's unexpected attack and was kicked straight on. However, unfortunately, due to Lin Meng's illness, her body was weak at the moment. This kick didn't have its full effect. Otherwise, with her timing and the placement of the kick, Li Lanqiu would have been unable to move for a while after falling to the ground.
Lin Meng knew she wasn't strong enough, but she couldn't afford to hesitate. Turning around, she headed straight for the study, her target being the phone in her bag. In a moment of crisis, her instinct was to call Rong Ling, just like she had done countless times before.
But Li Lanqiu’s attack was fierce, her explosive power was too shocking. After getting up from the ground, she rushed towards Lin Meng like a tigress. Lin Meng had just touched his bag when he was knocked to the table by Li Lanqiu's powerful push. Knowing what Lin Meng wanted to do, Li Lanqiu pressed him down while snatching the bag with her other hand and threw it far away.
Lin Meng's heart tightened, her mind blanking for a moment. After being punched by Li Lanqiu suddenly, she realized she should...
"Help!"
With all her might, she roared, hoping that her voice could reach the brothers guarding outside. Her voice was already hoarse from illness, and this roar nearly tore her throat apart.
Li Lanqiu's scalp tingled, and a wave of fear surged through her. Instinctively, she covered Lin Meng's mouth. Lin Meng struggled, trying to push Li Lanqiu off her. But Li Lanqiu thought, "It's too late, it's too late. The worst that could happen from Lin Meng's scream is that it will attract people, and quickly. What should I do What should I do I have to come up with a solution fast!"
Gritting her teeth, she suddenly slashed at Lin Meng with a palm strike, knocking him unconscious. She dragged him and sped toward the computer desk. Taking out a pre-prepared U disk, she rubbed several fingerprints from her hand onto Lin Meng's palm before inserting the U disk into the computer. She randomly dragged two files that she had previously glanced at, which were of some value, into the U disk, then pulled it out and quickly unplugged the power supply. This way, the computer went black, and nothing could be seen. At that time, she could perfectly explain to others that during her fight with Lin Meng, she accidentally kicked the power cord, causing a power outage.
To make this more convincing, she quickly tangled the power cord and messed up her computer desk a bit. She also made Lin Meng touch the mouse and several places on the desk to leave fingerprints. Then, with a forceful toss, she threw the U-disk in the direction where she had just thrown her bag, making it look like both the U-disk and the bag had been attacked together.
She dragged Lin Meng again, toward the small study. She peeled off the thin film stuck on her hands and hid it back in her skirt, specifically the inner thigh area. This was a tool she would inevitably use when committing the crime, its function being to conceal her fingerprints. Then, she quickly glanced around the room, confirming nothing seemed out of place. Afterward, with swift force, she pressed on several acupuncture points of Lin Meng's body. This could maximize the stimulation needed to wake him up.
Lin Meng's eyelids twitched, and Li Lanqiu immediately seized Lin Meng with her sharp knuckles, tightening her grip bit by bit. Lin Meng had just woken up and was unprepared, so she could only be pinched until her face turned red. She tried hard to pry open Li Lanqiu's hand with her own, but Li Lanqiu had immense strength that the still-ill Lin Meng simply couldn't overcome.
Lin Meng's face was getting increasingly red, her breathing became labored, and her eyes bulged. Li Lanqiu looked at her like this, a surge of pleasure welled up inside her, and she instantly went crazy.
Just strangle her!
Kill her!
Kill her, and you'll get revenge!
This woman killed your father, kill her, you should have killed her a long time ago, kill her, kill her now! What a great opportunity, kill her!
In her mind, such thoughts leaped frantically, and the strength in her hands began to increase bit by bit. But when she suddenly heard a shout -- "Lin Meng" -- she jerked up, and all those frantic thoughts, like ghosts afraid of the light, shrank back into themselves all at once.
That was a close one!
This is totally different from what she originally expected!
Gritting her teeth, she let out a muffled groan, her grip suddenly weakening and her body going limp against Lin Meng's side, pulling him closer. Seizing the opportunity, Lin Meng instinctively fought back, pushing Li Lanqiu's hand away with all his might while simultaneously clamping his hands around her neck.
This woman was just about to kill her a moment ago, those bloodthirsty and frenzied eyes, simply terrifying. For a while, she saw in her rage-filled eyes. Therefore, for Li Lanqiu, absolute mercy is not allowed, otherwise, she will be pushed to the brink of death again. A sense of crisis arose in her heart, and Lin Meng's hand gained strength. But she had never killed anyone before, so despite being angry, anxious, frightened, and furious inside, she still controlled herself from taking the final step, not really killing Li Lanqiu.
Li Lanqiu felt strangely weak, as if she had suddenly lost a lot of energy. She hoped that perhaps Li Lanqiu's inexplicable illness had struck again! Thinking this way, she felt a glimmer of hope. She could hear footsteps getting closer and closer, and it seemed to her like the dawn of hope was breaking through.
“Here—!” she cried urgently, but because her earlier roar had strained her throat, even though she tried to call out with all her might, her voice came out dry and raspy, like an old woman’s, feeble and pitiful. On the other hand, Li Lanqiu actually called out loudly —
"Help!"
He was even crying a little!
Moreover, the fear in his voice was unmistakable.
Lin Meng was slightly puzzled, but Li Lanqiu suddenly gritted her teeth. There were still tears at the corners of her eyes, but a strange smile appeared on her lips. Then, she grabbed Lin Meng's arm with both hands and pulled it outwards forcefully. Because Li Lanqiu had been pressed down by her and felt powerless, Lin Meng naturally exerted less force. She was really afraid of accidentally killing someone. But because of this, Li Lanqiu, who had been prepared for a long time and pretended to be weak, seized the opportunity. Everything was going as she had imagined.
As Lin Meng's grip loosened slightly, Li Lanqiu gritted her teeth and suddenly lifted her head high. Lin Meng was startled, and as he tightened his grip again, he was horrified to see Li Lanqiu slam her own head against the ground with a sickening thud. The heavy "dong---" sound made everyone's eyelids twitch violently.
What does she want to do!
Just as she was thinking this, Li Lanqiu called out again.
"Help---"
This time, her voice was much softer. At the same time, she grabbed Lin Meng's arms with both hands, squeezing tightly, and ended up helping to choke herself!
What is going on!
Lin Meng was stunned again!
And the tap of footsteps, suddenly clear behind.
"Dream!" Accompanied by a low growl, Miao Qingfei rushed over, directly pulling Lin Meng up and swiftly retreating to the side. What she heard and saw was somewhat strange, but these things didn't need her immediate attention. Her first priority was to ensure Lin Meng's safety before analyzing anything else.
Rong Ling's subordinates also understood their duty. After Miao Qing pulled Lin Meng away, a few of her brothers who arrived a few seconds later quickly surrounded Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu narrowed her eyes, her expression showing fearful terror. She propped herself up with one hand and covered her neck with the other, then coughed sharply, as if she had just been choked hard and was now barely alive after a close call.
A few of the men stood expressionlessly, waiting for Miao Qing, and also for the instructions that their esteemed Uncle was about to give. But in their hearts, they were whispering doubts. After all, it was Li Lanqiu who had cried out for help twice. And now, Li Lanqiu looked very miserable, with clear fingerprints on her neck, making it obvious what had happened. Furthermore, Li Lanqiu had also broken her head—one could see this from the floor exposed after she lifted her head.
There were bloodstains on the floor, and Li Lanqiu's occipital bone was slightly wet.
What on earth is going on!
Before they could even formulate their idea, Li Lanqiu burst into tears.
"Lin Meng wants to kill me!"
Tears, like a venomous poison, were being desperately released. And just at that moment, Uncle Zun, Guo Zun, walked in with his leg raised. He wore a stern expression, and his face was incredibly grim.
Lin Meng's ears were filled with Li Lanqiu's words, "the wicked file a complaint first," but all she felt was a surge of disgust and fury. This woman was truly despicable!
"Arrest her! She stole data from Rong Ling's computer and tried to kill me!" She barked the order, her face grim with authority.
Because, things have come to this, she doesn't need to consider Li Lanqiu at all.
Upon hearing this, both Miao Qing and Zun Shu's pupils contracted, and they simultaneously glared fiercely at Li Lanqiu. They had followed Rong Ling's elders for a while, and they knew more about Rong Ling's affairs than ordinary people. So, stealing data from Rong Ling's computer was a serious matter!
"Arrest her!"
"Uncle Zun immediately ordered, and the two guards rushed over to grab Li Lanqiu. Li Lanqiu immediately screamed, 'I didn't do it! You are lying! You are the one who wanted to steal Rong Ling's computer data, and I accidentally saw you. You want to kill me now, and now you are blaming me Lin Meng, you are too much!"
Uncle Zun blinked his eyes, while Miao Qing narrowed hers. Looking at Li Lanqiu, they wore expressions of deep scrutiny.my friend told me that Brother Rong doesn’t live here anymore, so I rushed over immediately! Mother, where is Brother Rong I need to see him! He’ll be so happy when he knows I have his child!”"The per...
