Chapter 455

orning. A neighbor said she saw a man coming out of his house yesterday afternoon, but she couldn't see his face clearly. She only saw his back, which was tall and very straight. According to Miss Fu,...Li Qin's heart skipped a beat, she suddenly swept the photo to the ground, her eyes were red, she gritted her teeth, her body still trembled uncontrollably, "Azheng, you scared me."

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

Li Qin raised her chin and didn't look at him again.

All I can see in my mind is the scene of Qi Ce's death.

Hu Mingzheng said in a leisurely manner: "You should be afraid, when you dream back at midnight, will Qi Ce come back to find you."

Li Qin's tightly clenched teeth slipped, biting into the tender flesh of her lower lip. The metallic taste of blood suddenly spread throughout her mouth.

Her pale lips trembled as she whispered, “Zheng, Qi Ce and I are just ordinary friends. Perhaps we’re more familiar with each other than others. I’m sad about his passing, it's natural. Please don’t say any more things to scare me.”

Huo Mingzheng looked at Li Qin, who was still deceiving herself, with a cold expression. "I knew it a long time ago. I'm very sensitive to perfume. When you got close to me, your body smelled like Qi Ce's perfume. Unless it exceeded normal social distance, your body wouldn't have his scent."

He had never paid attention to Li Qin's life abroad, nor who she associated with.

Li Qin's heart skipped a beat.

Perfume......

Her mind was filled with Qizhe's figure, saying that he had sprayed his cologne today because it was a gift she had given him. He liked it very much and usually wouldn't spray it, only when he saw her would he.

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

Li Qin seemed to not hear him. Her eyes were red and she lowered her head, looking at her scalded toes. Why couldn't she feel the pain

All of them have blisters, it should hurt a lot.

But she wasn't in pain, as if all her pain receptors led to a single point in her body.

But she didn't know where.

Huo Mingzheng said calmly, "Qi Ce poisoned my grandfather. I sent people to track him down. Unexpectedly, when my men arrived at the Xicheng pier, Qi Ce was already dead. It looked like he slipped and fell into the water on a rainy day. It's a pity that the net of heaven is wide and spares no one."

Li Qin suddenly raised her eyes, her bloodshot eyes as if they were about to bleed.

She and Qi Ce had agreed on a time and place to meet. In order to avoid suspicion, they didn't bring any bodyguards or attendants, only he waited for her alone at the dock.

Ho Mingzheng spelled out each syllable, “I didn’t expect a fishing boat nearby would have surveillance.”

Li Qin finally felt where the pain was gathering.

in her heart.

Huo Mingzheng slowly scanned her face, lit a cigarette, and looked into Li Qin's eyes, "Qi Ce was pressed into the water by several strong men and drowned alive. To create the illusion that he fell into the water accidentally, it took quite a bit of effort."

Li Qin's fingers, clenched tightly, had drawn blood. She stared blankly at Huo Mingzheng, "A Zheng, please don't say anymore..."

"Someone wants Qi Ce dead."

Li Qin suddenly yelled hysterically: "Stop talking!"

Her usually gentle voice became hoarse and harsh. She growled, repeatedly reminding Huo Mingzheng to keep quiet.

Ho Mingzheng seemed detached, his voice calm and cutting through her pleas. "Li Qin, no matter what, I still have to thank you for solving Qi Ce's problem for me."

Li Qin looked at him, and suddenly the whole person fell silent.

Her face, ashen and lifeless, was illuminated only by a pair of bloodshot eyes that stared fixedly at Huo Mingzheng. Her voice, laced with disbelief, whispered: "Are you plotting against me"rately tried to find one end of the yarn, pulling it out constantly, trying to make sense of what it all was.Finally, she realized and confirmed her initial guess, her eyes filled with tears, "You lie...
