Chapter 389 - An Accident

Li Tianci heaved a sigh of relief, seeing the woman in front of him calm down a little bit with the murderous look in her eyes slowly subsiding, as if she had experienced a serious illness. He himself was also drenched in a cold sweat, and his desire which was just rising was relentlessly suppressed with only weakness and frustration remaining in his body now.

It just looked like a lost battle. Li Tianci’s straight waist suddenly loosened. He turned back and leaned against the sofa. Then he raised his head and gasped.

Zeng Mina gradually woke up from the nightmare just now. She turned her face and looked at Li Tianci with no expression on her face. He was leaning his head on the sofa with his eyes closed, and his arms were bare. She could see the glittering sweat on his chest under the light.

And she was filled with hatred at this time, hatred for this shameless man, and hatred of herself.

Zeng Mina got to the floor barefoot and picked up the underwear on the floor. Then she just put it on. Her upper body was still covered by the pullover. She stood up from the sofa. The hem of the pullover fell down the waist and covered the hips as well as legs. She did not bother to put on her trousers again and directly stepped on the clothes of Li Tianci barefoot to enter the bathroom.

After a slam, he frowned. He opened his eyes, and there was only one person left in the living room. The sound of water was quickly heard in the bathroom. Li Tianci raised his hand and rubbed his face heavily. All the turbulent waves seemed to be completely restored at this moment. His heart was totally empty.

Zeng Mina turned the water to the maximum so that her skin was burnt red, and her chest as well as legs were filled with bloody marks which were caused by her grabbing with her fingernails. But it didn’t work. The traces left by the man were still there, as if she had got a terrible poison that had been branded into her skin and bones completely.

Zeng Mina looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were scattered, and her face was blank. Her pale body was full of the traces left by that man.

The girl entered the bathroom and hadn’t come out yet. Li Tianci put on his clothes. It was very quiet outside. When it was past one o’clock, he rarely heard one or two sounds of firecrackers. And the rest of the time, it was quiet. But the snow began to fall from the sky.

It was not the first time for them to have sex , but Zeng Mina’s eyes were just like gazing at an enemy who had killed her father.

An enemy who had killed her father? Li Tianci’s eyes leaped heavily a few times. Did she know something? He hurriedly pulled the door of the car open, and a younger subordinate was about to follow up. He kicked him off and warned him to stay far away.

When he showed such a look, Li Tianci must have something important to deal with as usual. The subordinate hurriedly backed away and kept vigilant on the side.

“Hello, it’s me!” Li Tianci called Zhou Jiamin with distraction.

“You are an asshole ! Are you not having fun now?” Zhou Jiamin did not talk about some things before not to ruin her plan, but now she talked about those things seemingly for her plan.

“It’s not time for you to be jealous now. That bitch seems to have known something.” Li Tianci could not spare time to consider anything else but Zeng Mina’s horrible eyes just now.

“What could she know? Don’t panic and wait to see.” Zhou Jiamin still knew about Zeng Mina very well. It was not exaggerated to call Zeng was an idiot. Otherwise, she would not have stuck to the woman who grabbed her dad from her mother.

Zhou Jiamin could understand that Zeng Mina was very sad because of her father’s death. But after some time, her new play would start, and she would forget everything when working.

“Don’t take it lightly. Just now, her eyes were really very horrible.” Li Tianci had experienced a lot in society for so many years. If he even had not found this out, he was afraid that he would have died many times.

“In this case, you can find someone to kill her.” Zhou Jiamin didn’t care about it, as long as Li Tianci himself didn’t grudge.

“Are you serious?” It was undeniable that Li Tianci was obsessed with Zeng Mina’s body, but that was not an issue. What did he do? He had met all kinds of women. If Zeng Mina really discovered their secrets, there was nothing different between killing one person and killing two people. It was not a big deal to let her accompany her dead dad.

He was really ruthless, or he would not have killed Zeng Ziqiang without any hesitation. Even Zeng Ziqiang had once saved his life.

Zhou Jiamin sneered. “You are good at this. You can do it yourself.”

“Then I’ve my own master. She has just come out and seems to be going out.” Li Tianci saw Zeng Mina already change her clothes and come out when talking to Zhou Jiamin. “Fine, that’s it. I have to send someone to follow her.”

“Mina, where are you going?” Li Tianci got off and walked to the front of her.

Zeng Mina went on walking forward and ignored him.

“Where is the driver? The eldest Miss can’t drive in such a bad mood. You send her there.”

“Yes!”

The driver hurriedly opened the door of the car and invited Zeng Mina to go in.

Zeng Mina glared at Li Tianci and finally got into the car. Then she told the driver the name of a bar. After that, the driver drove the car away.

Zhou Yi accompanied Wanru to watch the fireworks at the window for a while, and then he asked to leave. He was not too cautious. But Shen Mo was the most likely suspect as Zeng Ziqiang died for no reason.

It would not work to ask Xia Yu to persuade Shen Yan. Xia Yu was pure like a piece of white paper, absolutely unaware of the complicated society. It seemed to be better to directly ask for the help of Shen Yan.

He took a breath with his eyes closed and reached for the phone to call Shen Yan. “Where are you?”

“What?”

“Nothing! Come out and have a drink.”

Shen Yan was stunned for a while. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing! I am just in a bad mood.”

Shen Yan smiled. “Did you have a quarrel with your grandfather?”

Zhou Yan reluctantly rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers. “No. I just want to ask if you will come out or not.”

“I want to go, but I am in A city, at Xia Yu’s home, so I can’t come.” Shen Yan reached out and put his arms around Xia Yu’s waist. Then he said with a smile, “Your grandfather just likes to chatter. Just let him do that. Then everything will be fine.”

At Xia Yu’s home? Zhou Yan looked up, and a snowflake just flew down into his eye. He smiled softly. It was no wonder that Grandpa was in a hurry. Even Shen Yan who was a playboy had his mate now. It was reasonable that Grandpa was hastening him.

“Congratulations to you!”

Shen Yan had already noticed the sorrow in Zhou Yan’s tone. Generally, he would not be like this. He could stand up to any challenges ordinarily, and he was a person who would hide his emotions very well. There must be something wrong since Zhou Yan suddenly called to ask him to have a drink.

“Would you like to ask Liu Sijie? I just called him to celebrate the New Year, and he has already gone back from his grandfather’s house.”

Zhou Yan used his fingers to rub his eyebrows. “Forget it!”

He then hung up the phone. He looked up and saw that the light in Wanru’s house seemed to be out with only a dark window left. Zhou Yan could not help curling up the corners of his mouth and giving out a smile. Then he started the car and drove away.

“Do you often drink with Zhou Yan?” Xia Yu looked at Shen Yan. On the first day of the New Year, if he was really in a bad mood, shouldn’t he be looking for his friend? Why did he call Shen Yan?

“Sometimes, Liu Sijie, he and I will also have a drink together.” Shen Yan did not lie to Xia Yu. When Ningjing died in his apartment and was under house arrest by Shen Mo before, Zhou Yan and he were both suspicious. It was at that time that they communicated very often and got to know each other deeper.

However, they were divided on that. There was no evidence to prove that it was done by Shen Mo, so Shen Yan did not investigate it anymore. But Zhou Yan had always suspected Shen Mo persistently for years. Shen Yan tried to persuade him at first, and later he stopped, but occasionally, they would still drink together.

“He is really loyal to love and perseverant.” Xia Yu did not tell Shen Yan that Zhou Yan suspected Shen Mo because she really did not believe that Shen Mo would be that kind of person. If the reason must be given, she didn’t know it herself. It was probably her intuition. It didn’t make any sense.

The nine-day Spring Festival holiday was not short but still not long. Shen Yan came over specially to visit Xia Yu’s parents, so he was not in a hurry to go back naturally. Then Shen Yan came with them to have a meal in a restaurant outside. Of course, Xia Yu was also there. They ate in Ruyi Tower of A city. Four of them talked about the work without a specific topic, simply in a family-talk manner.

Wu Mei’s personality was very different from that of Xia Yu. Xia Yu was very rigorous and effective. There was a trace of manly courage in her body. Wu Mei was not tall and had a gentle face. She usually got dressed very modestly. After all, she was already in her fifties, looking like a teacher or intellectual when standing there.

Xia Family had always been low-key, and their operation was also very simple, which was catering. Their family was very famous in the catering industry. When it was Xia Mingde who inherited the business, he carried forward the family business which was still, however, focusing on catering.

Later, when Shen Yan was carrying on the project of the development zone, he invited Xia Mingde to join, but Xia Mingde did not accept immediately. However, Xia Mingde still liked Shen Yan very much. Investment was risky in nature. Although he did not know which projects would lose money and which projects would earn money, he still believed Shen Yan, a man who deserved his trust. Shen Yan had a strong passion and was hard-bitten. In the future, he would be a man who could achieve great success.

Therefore, he still promised to consider.

Xia Mingde just didn’t expect him to date his daughter. Xia Mingde had experienced such a thing. He could see that Shen Yan was serious about his daughter, which made him very happy.

In the afternoon, their family went shopping in the flower market. Xia Mingde proposed it. He was busy usually, and Wu Mei had been almost staying in the house all the time. She rarely went outside in the whole year. It was rare for their family to be together during the New Year. They bought a lot of flowers.

In this respect, Shen Yan did a lot of research, so he gave Wu Mei a lot of pertinent opinions. The distance between these two people was quickly shortened.

In the evening, they came out together to watch a movie. Time passed very fast. He didn’t contact Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan didn’t call him again.

However, after Xia Yu came back, she received a message from Wanru that Zeng Mina was hospitalized since she got injured. The message was very vague, but it was probably all that Wanru knew about.

What first came to Xia Yu’s mind was that ever since Zeng Ziqiang passed away, Zeng Mina had been in a bad mood all the time, and she even drank some wine in the evening. Besides, the road was very slippery due to the snow, so it was very normal to get a car crash.

But in her heart, she could not help attaching the greatest sympathy to Zeng Mina who had just lost his father and now got herself fallen so low. Her relationship with Shen Mo was not very good. How could she get through the hardship?

Xia Yu entered the room of Shen Yan with her phone in her hand. Apparently, Shen Yan also got the news and kept frowning. He thought more than Xia Yu, but all of that was just his conjecture, so he did not speak it out.

“It seems that we should go back in advance.” After all, Zeng Mina was still Shen Mo’s nominal wife-to-be, so they should come back as she got an accident.

“We even said that we would go to have a chess game with Uncle Xia. It seems that we will have to do that next time.” Shen Yan nodded. Ever since Zeng Ziqiang died, there had been a lot of rumors about a rift between his older brother and Zeng Mina.

It was still unpredictable now whether it would affect Shen Group that she suddenly got injured. So, he must go back as quickly as possible to deal with the problem.

These days, Wu Mei had got along very well with Shen Yan, so she had thought about keeping him here for several more days. The first reason was that she really liked the boy, and another reason was to know more about him.

Since there was an accident in his family, she would better let them go. So, after breakfast, the couple sent them to the airport and had an appointment with them to meet next time on the birthday of Old Madame.

In the People’s Hospital of S city, the metal small case was spacious and bright in the elevator leading to the operating room, but the white swaying light on the head was a little bit cold. Zhou Jiamin’s complexion was very heavy. After directly going upstairs, there was the corridor of the operating room outside the door.

All the people who should be there had arrived, the two servants of Zeng Family, Zhou Jiamin, the driver, and Li Tianci.
