Chapter 742: Chapter 448: The Loosening Seal on Su Yue

Happiness Garden District.

In the quiet bedroom, the lights shone brightly. A beautiful figure lay on the spacious bed.

She had a lovely face and a head of smooth, jet-black hair pinned up high. She was dressed in a black professional skirt suit, her ample bosom stretching the neckline taut. With every slight twitch of her delicate nose, her chest rose and fell in a steady, rhythmic wave.

"Nghh..."

Suddenly, Su Yue, who had been as still as a sleeping beauty, let out a soft moan. Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times before her eyes slowly opened.

"Where... am I?"

Su Yue first looked up at the familiar ceiling, then glanced around, confirming that she was in her own bedroom.

’I’m home? That’s strange...’

’I remember going to the hospital for a check-up after work. Then I had dinner, and on the way back, something went wrong with my body again, and then...’

The moments before she collapsed and lost consciousness flashed through her mind like a slideshow.

Just as her mind was filled with confusion about how she had suddenly gotten home, the bedroom door was pushed open, and a familiar figure walked in.

Lin Li had just used the restroom and came out to check if Su Yue had woken up. As he opened the door, his gaze fell upon the lovely figure on the bed, and their eyes met.

"Su Yue, you’re awake!!!" An expression of delighted surprise appeared on Lin Li’s face as he quickly walked over and sat down in the chair by her bed.

Earlier, he had gone to that abandoned lumber mill, rescued Su Yue from Wang Hao’s clutches, and carried her out before driving back home.

He had settled her in her bedroom and watched over her, but after waiting for a long time, she showed no signs of waking.

This couldn’t help but make Lin Li anxious. ’Maybe the drug Wang Hao used has some unusual effect? Is that why she hasn’t woken up after all this time?’

Just as Lin Li was thinking that he would wait a little longer, and if Su Yue still didn’t wake up, he would take her to a doctor at the hospital—she woke up.

"Lin Li, what are you doing here?"

"I remember feeling suddenly unwell on my way home after dinner. I couldn’t stay on my feet and lost consciousness... What happened after I passed out?"

Su Yue pushed herself into a sitting position with her right hand, leaning back against the headboard. Her pretty, fair-skinned face was full of confusion as she parted her lips and fired a series of questions at Lin Li.

’Wait, wasn’t she drugged and knocked out by that guy...?’ Lin Li was stunned for a moment after hearing her words.

"So you fainted because you felt unwell and couldn’t stay on your feet?" Lin Li asked, snapping out of his daze.

"Yes! I suddenly felt very sick this morning on my way to work, so I went to the hospital for a full check-up after I got off.

"I found a place to have dinner, and then what I just told you happened on the way home," Su Yue explained.

"..."

Lin Li fell silent. Su Yue’s account was so different from what he had assumed.

"You still haven’t told me! I fainted on the street, so why did I wake up in my own home?" Su Yue asked, seeing Lin Li staring at her blankly instead of answering.

"Haaa..." Lin Li’s mind raced. He decided to hide the kidnapping. He let out a soft breath and said to Su Yue,

"Here’s what happened. A passerby saw you collapse on the street and used your phone to call me.

"I happened to be nearby, so I rushed over. I checked you out and figured it was nothing serious, so I just brought you home."

Having just woken up, Su Yue’s mind was still a bit groggy. As a result, she actually believed Lin Li’s story—a story that sounded reasonable at first but was full of holes if one thought about it carefully.

"Oh, I see! In that case, I’ll have to find that kind passerby later and thank him in person."

’This dummy actually bought it...’ Lin Li thought, watching Su Yue believe the story he had completely made up. At the same time, he muttered something under his breath.

"That ’kind person’ has already been turned into a pile of ashes by my flames. He’s in no position to accept your thanks in person."

Su Yue didn’t quite catch what Lin Li muttered and asked, "What did you say?"

"Nothing. I already thanked the ’kind person’ on your behalf. You don’t need to go out of your way to thank him in person," Lin Li said.

"That won’t do! He helped me, after all. It wouldn’t be right if I didn’t thank him personally," Su Yue said, shaking her head.

Her parents had taught her from a young age that you can’t just accept help from others for nothing. You have to thank them properly afterward and give them a gift in return.

’But the guy is a pile of ashes now! How are you supposed to thank him in person? Well, on second thought, you could always burn some paper money for him...’ Lin Li thought, then smiled at Su Yue and said,

"Even if you want to find that kind person to thank him, he didn’t leave any contact information. It’d be like finding a needle in a haystack; you’ll never find him."

"Oh, honestly! Why didn’t you get his contact information?" Su Yue grumbled.

’If you knew that guy kidnapped you and used you to threaten me, you’d probably want to kick him in the balls a few times with your high heels...’ Lin Li complained inwardly.

Then, looking at Su Yue, who was still muttering about him not getting the kind person’s contact information, he changed the subject.
