Mr. Huo, stop being abusive. Miss Fu is going on a blind date again.

Li Qin's originally accelerated pace seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.

She looked at Huo Minzheng's cold face, and her ears had already received what he said, but her brain didn't seem to keep up. After a few seconds, she turned red and covered her mouth, "How could..."

"Qi Ce is doing well, why did something suddenly... happen?"

Huo Minzheng glanced at her deeply, "You don't know?"

Li Qinxuan shook her head with tears in her eyes, "Qi Ce and I haven't contacted each other for several days."

After her words fell, the room became eerily quiet.

Huo Minzheng looked away from her face and said, "You look very bad. Go downstairs and drink some water. I will tell you slowly later."

Li Qin took a step forward, only to find that her legs seemed to be filled with lead and she couldn't lift the strength at all. She struggled and looked at Huo Mingzheng's back.

But for a moment, the salty taste filled her mouth, and she couldn't even make a sound.

She raised her hand and touched her face. Her fingers were moist. There was a confused look in her eyes. Why was she crying?

Quietly, without any pretense, she cried?

She didn't cry when Lu Youguang died. She didn't cry when she knew Fu Yan and Huo Mingzheng were together. She just became red-eyed knowing that Huo Mingzheng never liked her.

Why is she crying now?

She suddenly knelt on the ground. Seeing this, the servant quickly stepped forward to help her.

Huo Mingzheng didn't even look back, his tall and straight back was like a motionless mountain, and he said in a calm tone: "Ms. Help Li, come downstairs."

Li Qin was helped by the servant and sat on the sofa, face to face with Huo Minzheng.

Huo Mingzheng asked the servant to pour a cup of hot water for Li Qin.

The servant handed the hot water to Li Qin. She held the cup of hot water with both hands, as if she couldn't feel any temperature.

Huo Minzheng's eyes were calm and his tone was very calm: "Qi Ce's body is in the morgue. His family hasn't gone to collect it yet. You have a good relationship with him, and I will send you to see him."

The water glass in Li Qin's hand hit the ground with a crash and broke into pieces. The hot water spilled on her slippers and wet her feet. However, she did not feel hot at all, but looked at Huo Mingzheng in shock.

"Azheng, what are you talking about? Qi Ce and I are not what you think..."

Huo Minzheng's voice became colder and colder, "Qice has done so much for you, have you ever thought that he really loves you."

"A Zheng, I really don't know what you are talking about. What has Qi Ce done for me?" The light in her eyes was covered by darkness. She clung to the edge of the sofa tightly, her joints turning blue and white from excessive exertion.

Huo Minzheng looked at her face coldly, without explaining anything, but said: "Cao Yuan."

Cao Yuan, who was beside him, took something out of his suit pocket. He walked over and placed it on the coffee table in front of Li Qin.

Li Qin looked over subconsciously and saw a photo.

The background of the photo is very dark. When taking the photo, the flash was turned on. The surrounding area was dark, which highlighted the main content of the photo.

The location was on the edge of the ferry, with heavy rain falling all around. Qi Ce, wearing a black jacket, was lying straight on the ground with a suitcase beside him.

He must have been fished out, and he was soaked all over.

His face was pale and colorless.

It can be seen at a glance that there are no vital signs.

he died.

Li Qin's heartbeat suddenly trembled. She suddenly swept the photo to the ground, her eyes were red. She gritted her teeth, but her body could not stop shaking, "A Zheng, you scared me."

Cao Yuan picked up the photo and placed it on the coffee table in front of Li Qin again.

Li Qin raised his chin and didn't look at it again.

But all the images in his mind were of Qi Ce's death.

Huo Minzheng said in a nonchalant voice: "You should be afraid, whether Qi Ce will come back to find you when you wake up from your dream at midnight."

Li Qin's clenched upper and lower teeth slipped, and he bit into the tender flesh of his lower lip. The smell of blood immediately filled his mouth.

Her pale lips trembled, and she said hoarsely: "A Zheng, Qi Ce and I are just ordinary friends, maybe more familiar than others. It's human nature for me to feel sad about his death. Don't Say something else to scare me.”

Huo Minzheng looked at Li Qin who continued to deceive himself with an expression of indifference, "I have known it a long time ago. I am very sensitive to the smell of perfume. When you get close to me, you smell of Qice's perfume. If you don't go beyond the normal social distance, you Your body will not be stained with his scent."

He had never paid attention to Li Qin's life abroad, and he didn't care who she had personal relationships with.

Li Qin's heart tingled.

perfume……

In her mind, Qi Ce was pestering her, saying that he was wearing perfume again today, because that perfume was a gift she gave him and he liked it very much. He was reluctant to wear it at ordinary times and would only wear it when he saw her.

"Didn't you ask me how he died?" Huo Mingzheng asked her.

Li Qin seemed unable to hear his words. She lowered her head with red eyes and looked at her toes that were burned red by boiling water. Why didn't she feel the pain?

There are blisters, it must be very painful.

But she felt no pain, as if all the pain nerves were leading to a certain place in her body.

But she didn't know where.

Huo Mingzheng said unhurriedly: "Qi Ce poisoned my grandfather. I sent people to track him. Unexpectedly, when my people arrived at the west dock of the city, Qi Ce was already dead. It looked like the ground was slippery at the ferry on a rainy day. He lost his footing and fell into the water. It's a pity that the sky net is so vast that it doesn't miss anything."

Li Qin suddenly raised his eyes, his red eye circles seemed to bleed.

She and Qi Ce made an appointment to meet at a time and place. In order to hide their identity from others, they did not bring any bodyguards with them. He was the only one waiting for her at the dock.

Huo Mingzheng said carefully, "I didn't expect there was surveillance on a nearby fishing boat."

Li Qin finally felt where the pain was gathering.

in her heart.

Huo Minzheng slowly swept her face and lit a cigarette. He looked into Li Qin's eyes and said, "Qice was pressed into the water by several strong people and drowned alive. In order to create It took a lot of effort to make it look like he slipped and fell into the water.”

Li Qin's clenched fingers cut her palms, and she looked at Huo Minzheng in despair, "A Zheng, please stop talking..."

"Someone took Qi Ce's life."

Li Qin suddenly shouted hysterically: "Stop talking!"

Her usually gentle voice suddenly became rough and unpleasant. She growled, constantly reminding Huo Mingzheng to stop talking.

Huo Minzheng spoke calmly, as if he was staying out of the situation, and his voice penetrated her begging, "Li Qin, no matter what, I still want to thank you for solving Qi Ce for me."

Li Qin looked at him and suddenly became quiet.

A pair of red eyes on her ashen face stared at Huo Mingzheng, and she murmured in an unbelievable tone: "Are you plotting against me?"
