Qin Mu's hand touched Huo Yunxiao's body, as if sticking to the ice surface in an instant. She couldn't help but let out a sigh, and then reacted and pushed Huo Yunxiao away, leaning against the wall and gasping for breath. Damn it, when she was a top assassin, she never suffered such torture!
Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of a fruit knife on the coffee table. Qin Mu rushed over and directly pinched the blade with one hand. Blood gushed out, and the pain made her slightly sober.
Huo Yunxiao saw that Qin Mu was willing to self-harm to stay awake, frowned and took the knife away, and then picked her up!
While enjoying the feeling of being held in a man's arms, Qin Mu also hated her uncontrollable appearance. She gritted her teeth and said, "If you dare to touch me, I..."
With a "plop", Huo Yunxiao mercilessly threw Qin Mu into the bathtub filled with cold water... The cold air swept over her body, and Qin Mu barely opened her eyes.
The woman had delicate features, a small blushing face, wet hair sticking to her neck, and a pure white nightgown floating on the water. She pinched the edge of the bathtub with fingertips that had turned white, her eyelashes trembling slightly. Beauty and restraint were perfectly integrated in her body.
Huo Yunxiao pulled his tie and took out his phone to make a call. He said unkindly, "Emperor Hotel, room 2105, come and open the door!"
Ten minutes later, the door opened, and Ou Jin, wearing a white coat, walked in with a smirk. He sneered, "Yunxiao, what kind of show are you putting on today? A Peach Blossom Banquet?"
Huo Yunxiao's face turned black as he cursed, "Come over here and help save him!"
Ou Jin walked into the bathroom and saw the unconscious Qin Mu in the bathtub. He clicked his tongue and said, "This is some heavy stuff."
"Do you want to die?" Huo Yunxiao asked him.
Ou Jin immediately backed down and said, "Get him out of there, how can you save him in the bathtub?"
Huo Yunxiao bent down and picked up Qin Mu, putting him in the bed. Ou Jin quickly checked him and said, "Let's go to the hospital. The wrist wound is too deep and needs stitches."
The girl's wrist wound was soaked white by the water, looking shocking.
Huo Yunxiao hesitated for a moment, then bent down and carried the person in his arms, walking out of the room in big strides.
The hotel had already been cleared out, and a black Bentley was parked at the door. Bodyguards were lined up on both sides of the hotel. The statue-like man carried the girl into the car, and Ou Jin clicked his tongue, "Is it love at first sight?"
Beside him, Han Cheng poked Ou Jin and asked, "Ou, this is the first time I've seen the boss with a woman. Who is the one in his arms?"
Ou Jin adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled, "It's hard to say, it's hard to say..."
At the hospital, Ou Jin took care of Qin Mu and returned to the dean's office. Huo Yunxiao was sitting on the sofa, working on his computer. He glanced at Ou Jin and asked, "Is he okay?"
"He's fine," Ou Jin nodded and said, "But the wound was very deep. It looked like a suicide attempt by cutting his wrists."
Huo Yunxiao frowned. The girl in the room, with her cold eyebrows and sharp eyes, didn't seem like someone who would commit suicide.
"Find someone to watch her. I'll stay at the apartment for the night," he said.
Ou Jin agreed and left the hospital with Huo Yunxiao.
Qin Mu lay in bed, sleeping restlessly as memories played out in her dreams.
"Ambush! Request to abort mission!"
"Denied."
"The enemy has snipers. Request air support!"
"Denied."
"Request retreat!"
"Denied."
The sound of gunfire, cries for help, and the final scream, thick with the smell of blood, flooded her senses.
The dream shifted, and Qin Mu found herself strapped to an electric chair, convulsing and sweating profusely.
"The mission failed, but you're the only one who came out unscathed!"
"Traitor! You leaked the information!"
Through gritted teeth, she retorted, "I got shot, and you call that unscathed?"
"I was out with Crow on business. Why am I the traitor?"
"Qin Mu, Crow is dead, and you're still alive."
With those few words, she was guilty by association, burdened with the sin of surviving.
Her former comrades, who had once risked their lives together, looked at her with poisonous eyes. Not a single person in the organization believed her.
As the next round of electric shocks hit her, the insults continued to rain down on her. Qin Mu's eyes turned red, and she clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Who was the traitor hiding in the shadows?
She would find them. She would expose the traitor who had killed her entire team and make them pay.
As the dawn broke, Qin Mu rubbed her head and woke up. The excruciating pain she had felt before was gone, and her wrist wound had been bandaged.She looked at the empty IV bag by her bed, blinked in confusion, and realized that she wasn't dreaming. She had really been reborn.
At her lowest point, when she had hit rock bottom, she was given a chance to live again, in a different body.
Qin Mu got up from the bed and washed her face. When she looked up in the mirror, she was startled by what she saw. It was still her face, but there was a scar that looked like a centipede crawling from her cheek to her ear.
In the world of mercenaries, Qin Mu was a renowned beauty. Even men as picky as Nan Ke would say that Qin Mu made their hearts melt just by looking at her face.
But now, that beautiful and powerful Qin Mu had died inexplicably, only to be reborn in the body of a disfigured girl.
Memories flooded back to her like a landslide...
The original owner of this body was named Shen Mu, the daughter of the Shen family. Unfortunately, her mother died early, her father remarried, and her stepmother had two daughters of her own. Shen Mu's existence was so insignificant that she became an easy target for everyone in the Shen family to bully.
Qin Mu sighed. Her rebirth meant that the tragic girl who had suffered in this body was already dead.
The painful memories of her childhood, her ruined appearance, her shattered dreams... they all flashed before her like a series of photographs. Everything she had cherished had been taken away from her, including her life and the purity she had almost lost last night.
Qin Mu's eyes flickered with a dark current. She raised her hand and lightly touched the scar on her face, whispering, "Don't worry, from today on, I am Shen Mu."
"I will take back everything that belongs to you, one by one."
Her appearance, career, and property, she would take them all back. Then she would return to K continent openly and honestly!
There was no one guarding outside, so Shen Mu put on the suit jacket left by the man and walked out, taking a taxi back to the Shen family.
Although Shen Mu was obedient, her deceased mother had left her with an engagement to the young master of the Lu family, tying her to him.
Shen Mu and the young master of the Lu family had grown up together, and she was completely infatuated with him. She even disfigured herself for him and endured countless sneers!
Unfortunately, the young master of the Lu family didn't like her at all. He liked Shen Mu's younger sister, Shen Qingxue.
This Shen Qingxue appeared harmless on the surface, but behind the scenes, she came up with such a vicious plan to ruin Shen Mu's innocence and make her lose face so that she couldn't marry anyone.
This time, it was because Shen Mu had no other choice and all the grievances she had accumulated over the years had finally erupted that she chose to cut her wrists and commit suicide.
Shen Mu got out of the car and looked at the moderately sized villa in front of her, her eyes filled with a hint of coldness.
Very well, I will take back everything that you owe Shen Mu, one by one!
