Can a System Have Bad Intentions? - Chapter 133

Lu Tang felt like crying.

From the moment Qin Mo’s smile disappeared and he left the room, she wanted to cry.

Although Qin Mo had done nothing wrong, she felt wronged.

Clearly, she was the one being comforted last night, but now she felt even more aggrieved.

When they returned from the Prosperity Inn last night and reached the entrance of the Laifu Inn, Qin Mo held her wrist and said he had never treated anyone else like that.

He had never treated anyone else like that, only her.

Now, she wanted to chase after him and ask, “If I were a girl, would it still be okay?”

But how could she ask that?

After Xu Shen and Xie Yu left, Lu Tang lay on the bed, covered herself with the blanket, and rubbed her eyes. After a while, she got up with red eyes.

She couldn’t take it anymore.

When she returned to Qinghe County, she would tell her mother that she was going to tell Qin Mo she was a girl, and then directly ask him…

To hell with it!

She wasn’t going to wait!

She would go ask him right now.

Feeling extremely frustrated, Lu Tang got out of bed and went directly to find Qin Mo.

When Lu Tang arrived, the inn’s waiter was cleaning the room. Lu Tang was stunned, and her heart began to race, “Where is the guest in this room?”

Her heart was pounding, and she clutched the door frame tightly.

The waiter turned his head and saw it was Lu Tang. Knowing she had saved the young master of the inn, he politely said, “The two gentlemen in this room just checked out.”

Lu Tang’s breath hitched.

Checked out?

“Just now?”

“Yes, they just checked out.” The waiter was busy removing the bed linens and answered without looking up.

Lu Tang’s legs went weak, and she turned to run downstairs.

There was no sign of Qin Mo in the main hall. She rushed to the counter, “The people who came with us…”

The innkeeper, Du Zhongming, seemed to know what she was asking. He smiled and said, “Young Master Lu, are you asking about Young Master Qin? Young Master Qin asked me to tell you that everything in Yuhang is settled. He will take care of Xie Yu’s matter, so you don’t have to worry. If you want to stay and play for a few days, you can, or you can leave now.”

Lu Tang listened in a daze, feeling waves of emotions crashing over her.

He would take care of Xie Yu’s matter.

But what about everything else?

Did he mean to leave her behind?

Would they never meet again?

“Oh my!”

Lu Tang stumbled down the stairs in despair. Zhou Shu and Guo Dawei followed her down. Seeing Lu Tang staring at the street with tears streaming down her face, Zhou Shu panicked.

“Little Tang, what’s wrong?”

Guo Dawei pulled Lu Tang to a chair in the hall and squatted in front of her, “Brother Tang, what happened?”

In all his life, he had never seen Lu Tang cry like this.

Even during the trouble with Lu Deren, Lu Tang hadn’t cried like this.

Just then, Xie Yu and Xu Shen also came down. Seeing Lu Tang crying so miserably, Xu Shen rushed forward, “What happened?”

Zhou Shu shook his head, “I don’t know. She suddenly ran down from upstairs. The innkeeper said Young Master Qin and Young Master Song left, and then she started crying.”

Zhou Shu looked puzzled, “Little Tang, are you worried they won’t settle the bill for the inn in Sihe Town? Although it’s a lot of money, it’s not worth crying over. If you’re worried about it, I’ll pay the bill, okay? Please don’t cry.”

When Xu Shen heard that Qin Mo had left, he understood immediately.

He clenched his fists in frustration.

It was all his fault for meddling today. If he hadn’t gone to ask, nothing would have happened.

Patting Lu Tang’s head, Xu Shen said, “I’ll go find him for you, okay?”

After crying for so long without responding to anyone, Lu Tang turned to Xu Shen, “Where will you find him?”

Her voice was heavy with tears.

Xu Shen felt guilty and heartbroken, “I’ll search everywhere. You said your mother knows him too, right? If we can’t find him, we’ll ask your mother where he lives when we get back, and we’ll go to his house.”

Lu Tang wanted to say he lived in the capital, and they should go to the capital.

But then she thought, he left without a word because he was avoiding her.

Why should she chase after him?

Before she could say anything, Qin Mo must have had feelings for her. But now, seeing how he left in such a hurry, it must have been because she said she only liked women.

Frustrated, Lu Tang pulled at her hair. She wanted to let it go, but she was unwilling.

Oh my!

Was this what a broken heart felt like?

Du Zhongming looked at the crying Young Master Lu with red eyes and nose, hesitated, and then turned to leave.

Leaving the Laifu Inn, he made his way through several alleys to a residence.

When Du Zhongming entered, Song Qingzhan was looking at Qin Mo in confusion.

He had been busy investigating the Xie family’s affairs all night, and when he returned this morning, even before reaching the inn’s entrance, Qin Mo had pushed him out, saying they were leaving.

Without explaining why, from leaving the inn until now, Qin Mo had a grim face, silent as if he were about to massacre a city. No, more accurately, as if he were guarding a city that had been massacred.

“What on earth happened?”

Qin Mo remained silent, glaring as he sat there.

Song Qingzhan asked five times without getting an answer. Seeing the dark circles and red eyes, he worriedly said, “Why don’t you get some sleep?”

“Young Master Qin?”

As he spoke, a voice sounded outside. Song Qingzhan turned and saw Du Zhongming through the window. “Why is Du Zhongming here?”

Hearing Du Zhongming’s name, Qin Mo’s grim expression turned to panic.

He had told Du Zhongming not to find him unless something happened to Lu Tang.

He had just arrived here; did someone cause trouble for that fool already?

Or did Lu Tang leave for Qinghe County right after he left?

Heart pounding, Qin Mo got up and strode out. By the time Song Qingzhan reacted, Qin Mo had already intercepted Du Zhongming in the courtyard.

“Young Master Qin, there’s nothing urgent. It’s just that something strange happened. I thought I should tell you. Just after you left, Young Master Lu came asking about your whereabouts. I told him as you instructed, and he…”

“What about him?”

Qin Mo’s nervousness made Du Zhongming anxious too.

“He couldn’t stop crying. His friends were all trying to comfort him. When I left, that Xu Shen said they would search the world to find you.”

Couldn’t stop crying?

Searching for him?

Did the little fool miss him? Did he not want to part from him?

Humph!

He didn’t appreciate him when he was there, saying those hurtful things. Now that he was gone, he cried?

After feeling terrible for so long, Qin Mo suddenly felt much better, his expression softening.

Du Zhongming looked at Qin Mo suspiciously and asked the question weighing on his mind, “How much do you owe him?”
