She Lost Memory Before the Divorce Chapter 282

Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Sudden Change in the Dog Man's Style Chapter 282: Chapter 282: The Sudden Change in the Dog Man's Style Gu Xiaoman was efficient in handling affairs; she obtained the divorce certificate in the morning, and by almost midnight that same evening, she had flown to Germany. Because of what Shen Zichu had said, she directly blacklisted his various contact methods, treating him like a stranger.

Mu Lan had seen her off at the airport, and not until she witnessed Gu Xiaoman disappear behind the security checkpoint did she turn and leave.

No sooner had she returned to her car than she received a call from Huo Tingxiao. There was news from miko. She had been cornered and beaten by several men in an alley in the old town late at night. The bodyguard Huo Tingxiao had sent had saved her life.

At that moment, she was in the hospital with two broken ribs and numerous abrasions all over her body.

By the time Mu Lan arrived, miko had already been moved to a ward, and the men had been taken to the police station for questioning and to make a record of the incident.

In the corridor, Huo Tingxiao's tall figure stood waiting for her, prompting Mu Lan's instinct to send people off.

“Isn't there a bidding meeting tomorrow? You should go back and rest. I can handle things here by myself,” she said.

A hint of hurt flashed through Huo Tingxiao's eyes; clearly, he did not want to leave.

“Grind the mill only to discard the donkey?”

Mu Lan raised an eyebrow.

“Why do you love playing the donkey so much?”

A meaningful smile appeared at the corners of Huo Tingxiao's mouth.

“Isn't it your women who love Pan, the donkey, and Deng the idle? It's not that I love being one.”

Mu Lan's face turned red, and she reached to pat Huo Tingxiao's arm.

“That gag gets boring if you say it too much. It's already one o'clock; hurry up and go to sleep.”

The force was light, yet Huo Tingxiao acted as if he had been hit hard.

“Your slap is full of inner strength; I'm injured and can't walk. I need a kiss to heal,” he said.

Mu Lan's eyes widened, really not wanting to entertain this drama king of a man.

“Go away, don't be so annoying,” she retorted.

Seeing she didn't fall for it, Huo Tingxiao bent down and sneakily stole a kiss from her cheek.

Mu Lan, startled, instinctively raised her hand to touch her kissed cheek and glared at him.

With amusement in his eyes, Huo Tingxiao suggested, “You go in and ask; I'll wait here.”

After he spoke, he truly sat down, showing no intention of leaving. Not wanting to waste time, Mu Lan pushed the ward door open and went inside.

miko's face was swollen to a frightful extent; her assailants had truly intended to harm her severely. Seeing such a young girl beaten to this state was genuinely distressing.

However, Mu Lan only felt a bit of pity, understanding that making certain choices carried certain consequences.

Her heart was becoming harder by the day, lacking any undue sympathy.

“Mu… President Mu…” miko looked at Mu Lan, her eyes reddening, filled with regret.

Mu Lan walked over and sat beside the bed.

“It seems your sugar daddy didn't hold back; you almost had your face ruined, you know?”

miko teared up in pain.

“I'm sorry, really sorry, President Mu. I realize my mistake…”
Mu Lan raised an eyebrow, quietly watching the girl cry pitifully.

Once miko had calmed down a little, Mu Lan spoke again.

“Crying to me is useless. If you truly want to escape these people, it depends on your behavior from now on.

miko, several tens of thousands is not a small amount. You're at most someone who was instructed to do this. If you're willing to say who instructed you, I assure you, you won't be pursued.”

miko bit her lip, about to say something, when her phone on the pillow suddenly rang.

After unlocking the screen and seeing the photo displayed, miko panicked completely.

— “Your mother is recovering well; don't worry.”

A seemingly caring message, yet filled with intimidation.

miko held onto her phone tightly, biting her lip and falling silent.

Mu Lan narrowed her eyes, realizing that this attempt had been for nothing; the adversary was one step ahead.

As expected, the next second, miko took all the blame onto herself.

“President Mu, I'll take responsibility for my own actions, it was all me.”

Mu Lan couldn't help but laugh when she saw her eagerness to confess.

“Then you can stay and explain it to the police well.”

Having spoken, she left the hospital room without any hesitation; since the other party didn't care about her own future, there was no need to keep playing the good person.

Huo Tingxiao didn't expect her to leave so soon, he looked up at her, but that expression on her face.

“She wouldn't talk?”

“We miscalculated one step, they directly went for her Achilles' heel, probably threatening her with her family, she's ready to take all the blame.”

Mu Lan felt annoyed, realizing only now that they had allowed the opponent to gain the upper hand.

“Looking at it this way, we can narrow down the suspects; aside from Pei Zhao having the energy and ability, there are no other candidates.”

Huo Tingxiao's analysis was logical and well-founded, but she really didn't understand, why go through such lengths to corner her?

Could it really just be to make her unhappy, and thereby torment Huo Tingxiao?

“To think such a nagging issue could trouble him so much, it's really hard on him.

What about those men who ambushed Miko, did they say anything useful?”

“They're very tight-lipped; in this kind of situation, at most, they'd be detained for a few days. For people like them, it's nothing out of the ordinary.

But once they're out, I'll have ways to pry their mouths open.”

Huo Tingxiao's methods, Mu Lan was aware of them, and she suddenly remembered Katrina.

“Huo Tingxiao, about Katrina's matter…”

Huo Tingxiao was caught off guard when Mu Lan suddenly brought it up but pretended to be clueless to the end.

“She has only herself to blame, it has nothing to do with me.”

Even if it had something to do with him, it would be Long Xiao, hmm.

Mu Lan pursed her lips, pretending to believe his words.

“It's getting late, I'm tired, we should go home and sleep. Leave the rest to the police.”

When she mentioned she was tired, Huo Tingxiao didn't say another word and just lifted her into a bridal carry. Suddenly her whole body was suspended in the air, causing Mu Lan to extend her hands and wrap them around Huo Tingxiao's neck in alarm.

“What are you doing?”

“Aren't you tired?”

“Can't you be less extravagant? Put me down quickly.”

In the middle of the night at the hospital, she didn't want to create a disturbance that would affect others unnecessarily; Huo Tingxiao, on the other hand, didn't seem to care and continued to carry her to the underground parking lot.

Yun Xi and a few bodyguards followed with expressionless faces; Mu Lan felt her face burning. What was this man doing, treating her as if she was a domineering CEO from a novel? Sigh, it appeared she needed to have a good talk with him about not doing things so exaggerated that they became embarrassing.

Mu Lan got into the Rolls-Royce with a serious tone.

“Huo Tingxiao, in public spaces, you should be more aware of the impression you make, don't just hug and carry me at every turn.”

Huo Tingxiao looked at her.

“What about at home? Can we hug and carry then?”

Mu Lan glared.

“Is that really the main point?”

Huo Tingxiao nodded, with a look of a loyal dog.

“Of course.”

Mu Lan couldn't stand it anymore, a once high and cold man had become both tender and roguish.

“Huo Tingxiao, be normal, or else go back to how you were before. Like this, it scares me.”

Huo Tingxiao fell silent; he had indeed let himself go recently, but it all came from the heart, and he didn't know how he ended up deviating from his usual self.

“That might be a bit difficult, wife, I… can't change back to how I was before.”

He spoke with a tone of regret, as if she had posed a problem of the century to him.

Mu Lan put a hand to her forehead, what to do if a man suddenly changes? Hmm? Wait a minute, a dog of a man? Why did this phrase suddenly flash through her mind, with some vague images, but she just couldn't remember it.
