Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

Chapter 106: Stopping the Evil Late at Night

After leaving the county government office, Ran Mo did not go home, but went to Wu Shao's house, wanting to meet someone.

After arriving, Ranmo told the servant that she wanted to meet the teacher. The servant recognized Ranmo and took her there. Coincidentally, they saw the teacher coming from the side room, and Ranmo went forward to greet him.

The teacher smiled and nodded. Ranmo got straight to the point, telling him that he had an urgent matter and wanted to "borrow" Qingsheng temporarily. Just think of it as bringing forward the poetry class. Is that okay?

The teacher looked at her, but without asking any further questions, he agreed. He said he would go to the backyard to call Qingsheng over, and that he could come to the martial arts class the day after tomorrow, counting from tomorrow's class time.

Ranmo was grateful. He waited for Qingsheng there. A moment later, the man leisurely approached. Seeing Ranmo from afar, he seemed to smile, then put on a serious expression again.

He walked up to Ran Mo, looked at her without saying a word. It was obvious, didn't we have an agreement? If you don't open your mouth, I won't dare talk to you.

Ran Mo didn't care about the children's playful affairs at the moment. He took the initiative to speak out. The previous agreement was limited to private matters and did not include communication on official matters. Just speak up. This time he came to discuss important matters with him.

Qingsheng was not in a hurry and slowly said, "There is a question that I need to clarify before we start business. I heard from the teacher that you want to 'borrow' me for a while.

I also want to get to the bottom of this. I am a human being, not an object, so how can I borrow something? I hope this poetry teacher here can respect my character as a human being.

Ran Mo took a deep breath upon hearing this. His words were well-reasoned and even contained a touch of personality. Besides, he was actually here to ask for help.

She put on a charming smile and said, "Young Master Chu is truly capable and truly impressive. I just made a slip of the tongue. Please don't take it personally."

Let's get down to business. I really need your help with something serious."

"That's a very strange thing to say. What kind of ability do you have? You're asking for help for a serious matter. Could it be that you've asked me for something less serious?" Qingsheng simply let go and started to argue.

Ran Mo took a look and thought, "Is he really excited?" Then he said with a gloomy face, "I came to you in a hurry this time because it's a matter of life and death. Are you sure you don't want to help me?"

Seeing this, Qingsheng put away his playful expression. Remembering the time when he and Ranmo investigated the civet cat case together, he said seriously, "I was a little careless just now. What's the big deal? Tell me now."

Ranmo briefly recounted Min'er's distress and mentioned his stepmother's strange behavior in the clinic and court. Qingsheng's expression grew increasingly gloomy as he listened, and he asked Ranmo if there was anything he could help with.

Ran Mo told him that the key was for Min'er to get through the next two days peacefully and wake up. He was afraid that some people would be happy for his recovery, while others would be afraid of him waking up.

Therefore, she was worried that something unexpected might happen in the next two days, and wanted to ask Qingsheng to go with her to look after Min'er.

Qingsheng glanced at her and said, "Why bother using the word 'please' between us?" and agreed readily.

Ran Mo smiled with relief. This kid is so reliable. I really want to keep him by my side all the time.

The two immediately formed an alliance. After analyzing the situation, they concluded that while daytime wouldn't be a major problem, they were concerned something might go wrong after dark. Therefore, they had to keep a close eye on the situation at night.

This wasn't a difficult task for Ranmo, having stayed up all night countless times before. It was just that Qingsheng wasn't used to it, but the thought of being with Ranmo and chatting like they always did made him feel less sleepy.

The two of them had a quick lunch and then went to check out the terrain near Dr. Liang's clinic. There happened to be a small field of crops not far away, with dense sorghum, so hiding there would be difficult to be discovered.

The two decided to hide there and keep an eye on the clinic. Qingsheng wondered why they couldn't just go inside and look after Min'er. Ranmo replied that hiding outside would be more effective in spotting the suspect. Qingsheng understood.

At this moment, people were passing by the clinic in groups of three or four. Occasionally, someone would go in for a consultation. But I didn't notice anything suspicious.

As night fell, a light breeze blew, bringing a slight chill. The sorghum stalks and leaves rustled in the breeze.

Qingsheng whispered to Ranmo if she was cold. Ranmo shook her head. Qingsheng didn't believe it. He reached out his hand and tested her shoulder several times before finally gritting his teeth and wrapping his arms around her.

Ranmo was about to shake it off. Qingsheng exerted a little force, hugging her tighter. Afraid of disturbing the outsiders, Ranmo didn't dare to make a sound. Feeling the warmth build up around her, she gave up resisting.

By the time it was pitch dark and the clinic was closed, both of them were feeling a bit sleepy, but they forced themselves to stay awake. After a while, Ranmo suggested that Qingsheng take a nap first, and then she would rest.

Qingsheng agreed, but asked her to sleep first and then take over after she woke up. Ranmo no longer refused and fell asleep in his arms, half asleep and half awake.

Qingsheng looked at her fair and moist face, which looked like a white steamed bun, and couldn't help but move his face closer. He wanted to do that, but was afraid of waking her up, so he gently touched her with his cheek.

Ran Mo moved, opened her eyes and looked over, asking how long she had slept and whether there was anything unusual. Qing Sheng shook his head and just asked her to sleep a little longer.

Ranmo said she was almost asleep and asked Qingsheng to sleep a little longer. Qingsheng smiled and said that after carrying the things ahead, he was not sleepy anymore.

He looked around and saw the mulberry tree beside the field. His eyes lit up and he asked Ranmo, "Do you want to see me climb a tree?"

Huh? Ran Mo asked in confusion, "When did you learn to climb a tree?" Qing Sheng smiled and said, "After seeing your mother climbing a tree on Miaofeng Mountain last time, I felt itchy and asked someone to teach him tree-climbing skills when I got back. Now climbing a towering tree is no problem."

Ranmo looked at him, boasting again. Qingsheng saw what she was thinking, so he put her down from his arms, walked a few steps to the tree, rubbed his hands together, and in a few quick moves, climbed up to a large branch above and sat down. He was more agile than a monkey.

On the tree, he smiled and made an "OK" gesture to Ranmo, and asked her how she was with a little complacency.

Ran Mo smiled at him and told him to come down quickly so he wouldn't get cold up there.

Qingsheng said that it would be easier to check the "enemy situation" while sitting up here, so Ranmo could just provide support from below.

Ranmo thought about it and it made sense. He and Qingsheng split up to observe from above and below.

After a long while, Qingsheng suddenly said "hush" to Ranmo from above, signaling her to be quiet. Ranmo understood and hid for a moment, then stared at the door of the clinic.

Just then, I saw a figure approaching from the west end of the road. He kept glancing around, looking suspicious.

As they reached the light, Ranmo almost cried out. He recognized the person as Yu, Min'er's stepmother. Although Qingsheng had never seen her before, he could guess her identity.

Then Yu was seen carrying a basket and stealthily walking to the door of the clinic. She looked around and then gently knocked on the door.

After a while, the door creaked open and a man came out. He was the nurse Dr. Liang had mentioned. He asked her what was the matter.

Yu mumbled a few words to him, vaguely saying that she was worried about the child at home and had come to check on him and help the nurse look after him. The nurse then let her in.

Ran Mo was anxious. After the gate was closed, he walked out of the sorghum field and waved to Qingsheng on the tree.

Qingsheng jumped down from the tree, walked over to Ranmo, and asked if she wanted to go in. Ranmo felt that if she went in too early, she wouldn't be able to catch anything, so she wanted to wait a little longer. But she still felt uneasy if she stayed outside the door all the time.

Qingsheng said, "That's not difficult." He nodded to Ranmo, walked to the side of the courtyard wall, found a place to stand, and jumped onto the wall. Taking advantage of the night, he hid on the wall and kept an eye on the situation inside the house.
