The phone call.

Qi Yanqi's eyes were clouded. Facing Shizhuang's accusation, he could only breathe heavily. His vision gradually blurred, and his hands that were hanging at his sides began to feel cold.

He turned his gaze to the silent Gu Wenliu at the side, while the other side avoided his gaze.

Gu Wen Liu closed his eyes heavily. He knew that it was time to tell the truth. Honestly speaking, if his promise was still there, he probably didn't want Qi Yanzhong to regret it. If it wasn't for love, she would rather not have such a stubborn person like her.

After a moment of silence, she pursed her lips and said, "I found the contact details of her phone. Before she disappeared …" The last call was made to you. "

Since the cause of his death was still under further investigation, it was not clear whether he had committed suicide or murder. However, the last call he made was for her to ask for help.

That night, where was Qi Yan? Who was he with? Why didn't he answer the phone?

This answer was something only he himself knew.

Gu Wenliu only wanted to ask one question —

"Did you know she called you at the time?"

He didn't know, so he didn't pay attention.

Or … He saw it, but he didn't pick it up on purpose?

Silence. The atmosphere was so cold that it turned to ice.

Why didn't you answer her that night? Qi Yan Shang kept asking himself why.

At that time, he was far away in Maldives, looking at the number displayed on his phone. He didn't hesitate to hang up and then shut off his phone, so that woman wouldn't be able to contact him.

If he'd picked up the phone then, it wouldn't be like this now.

That night, no one knew what happened to her.

Tears dripped from Shi Qian's eyes. She knew that her current emotions greatly affected the child in her belly, but … Facing such a man, how could she not be disappointed by his words?

This is the man you've loved for ten years. Even after you died, you never saw him shed a single tear for you.

So it turns out that a man's heart could truly be so cold-blooded and heartless. He only thought that if there was the theory of reincarnation, then in his next life, he would never meet him again.

At this moment, Gu Wenliu's phone rang. With a frown, he looked down at the caller ID and saw that it was from the police station. He had met with them before, so if there were any new developments, he would immediately let him know.

"Mr. Gu, the preliminary identification of the medical examiner has been completed."

"Go ahead."

Gu Wen Liu who was at the side seemed to have heard something and stared wide-eyed at Gu Wen Liu. He saw the man's sword-like eyebrows scrunch up, and his brown-black pupils suddenly quivered.

Shi Qian realized something, and his voice trembled as he asked, "Is it the police?"

Gu Wen Liu remained silent. He raised his long and narrow eyes and looked at Qi Yan Shang, seeing the fear in his dark eyes. In the silent moment, Gu Wenliu spoke the truth he heard one word at a time — —

"The remains are incomplete, but it can still be detected …" Yinuo was sexually assaulted while she was still alive, and her lower body was severely torn. The possibility of suicide and killing her cannot be excluded. "

Sexual assault... These two words caused her mind, which she had painstakingly built up, to collapse in an instant. It was as if all her energy had been sucked out of her.

Closing her eyes, she felt a weight on her body, and the pain in her stomach was too much to bear.

Gu Wenliu looked at his wife, who was gradually losing consciousness. Dark red blood was seeping out between his legs. The man's eyes suddenly quivered. The thing he was worried about had happened!

Before he left with his wife in his arms, he took a glance at Qi Yan Shang and saw that the man had stopped moving.

When he heard Gu Wenliu's words, Qi Yanzhi staggered a step forward and leaned heavily against the wall by the window. It was as if something was squeezing his left chest, causing him to let out a sound that was more painful than the previous one.

The redness in his eyes continued to spread. The color of her lips had lost its temperature, and the space between her fingers was cold.

So it turned out that he also had a cold moment.

So cold, when lost all the warmth, that fall into the cold cellar, let people gasp for breath, rather choose to suffocate to death.

Qi Yan Shang, you must regret this!

At that time, he would curse this man lightly. One day, he would definitely regret it.

His retribution, he thought.

Qiao family.

Joanne did not speak for a long time after she received the call from the police station.

It seemed to be within his expectations, but he couldn't react for a long time.

His body had been submerged in the lake for too long. His skin was either corroded or eaten by fish insects. His appearance was no longer in good condition.

Even if it was verified that Qiao Yinuo had been sexually assaulted before his death, the body fluids of the sex molester were long gone, so it was impossible to find out who it was.

The cause of death could have been the murder of the sex offender, or it could have been the suicide of Qiao Yino after the incident.

"I know."

After a long while, the woman answered and hung up.

The servant at her side looked at her and asked, "Miss Qiao, have you made any progress on the matter?"

The servants of the Qiao family were sad to learn that Qiao Yonuo had died. After all, he had been very good to everyone. Not mentioning that he had suddenly disappeared without a corpse, it was truly pitiful.

Joanne glanced at the servants, said nothing, and went straight upstairs to Father Joe's room.

Father Qiao was still in a coma. Ever since the doctor came last night and injected a certain amount of tranquilizer, he had not woken up yet.

Joanne didn't know what to do now. If her father were to be shocked when he woke up, perhaps …

She only wanted the matter to pass quickly. She wanted the corpse to be cremated and buried as soon as possible, just like how Qiao Yonuo had killed himself and let everything pass.

He had no idea what was going on with Yin Xiangze. His previous intention to kill him was probably related to this as well. If Qiao Yonuo hadn't committed suicide, then there could only be one possibility — Yin Xiangze had killed him.

However, she didn't dare to call Yin Xiangze right now. That man was too scary. Even her previous car accident might have been caused by him. If she were to interfere in Qiao Yonuo's affairs at this moment, this man would have no choice but to get rid of her.

She thought of Yin Qinghuan and returned to her room. After locking the door, she dialed a number.

At this moment, Yin Qinghuan was alone in the design department, looking at the blueprints on the table. At this time, everyone had gone to the cafeteria.

Looking at the caller ID, the woman lowered her eyes and picked up the phone. "Is there anything you need?"

"What do you think?"

On the other end of the phone, Joanne sounded like she was in a bad mood.

"Yin Qinghuan, what exactly did your brother do?!"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Yin Qinghuan closed the blueprint and a ripple appeared in her eyes. Actually, she had guessed the purpose of Qiao Annie's call.

Her previous assumption was correct. The original Yin Qinghuan knew what had happened that night. However, just like Joanne, she probably didn't know that Yin Xiangze had killed someone that night.

However, Joanne would not think this way. In her eyes, the Yin siblings were now jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards. Yin Qinghuan's appearance was no longer the same as the one she used to know.

Therefore, she had reason to suspect that Qiao Yonuo was killed by the brother and sister pair.

"Qiao Yonuo's death is definitely related to you guys!" Hearing the rebuke in Joanne's tone, Yin Qinghuan felt that it was a very interesting question. She mockingly asked, "Does it have nothing to do with you?"

Joanne, you are as hateful as Yin Xiangze. If you didn't drug me, how could I not have struggled and been taken to a hotel? How could I have drunk that cup of tea if you hadn't been so good at pretending?

Yin Xiangze killed people directly, and you used him to indirectly kill Qiao Yonuo.

The person on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment before he said, "So the three of us are on the same boat now. Regardless of other grudges, if we don't settle this well, we will all suffer!"

People from the same boat?

Heh … These words seemed to be true.

Unfortunately, she was not only Yin Qinghuan, she was also Qiao Yino. She wouldn't let go of the person who killed her!

"Right now, it's not about how we're going to deal with this. It's about whether the police will be able to find out the truth. It's useless for you to tell me about this."

"You …" On the other side of the phone, just as Joanne was about to say something, the voice of a servant came from outside the room …

"Miss Qiao, the lord has woken up and is shouting that he wants to go to the police station!"

Joanne's heart tightened at the sound of the servant's voice and she hung up the phone.

Yin Qinghuan naturally heard the servant's voice from the other side of the phone. Her body froze for a moment before the call ended. Only the cold mechanical voice resounded in her ears.

Father. She slowly closed her eyes. If there was anyone she couldn't let go of right now, it would be her father.

He was afraid that his father would not be able to withstand Qiao Yino's death. However, this was not something that could be avoided.

When he returned to the Yin house in the afternoon, the servant only said that his mother and friends had gone out to admire the chrysanthemums and would probably be back later.

She nodded and turned around to go upstairs. However, she suddenly heard a servant's voice coming from downstairs.

"Sir, you're back."

Yin Qinghuan's footsteps abruptly stopped. She stood at the staircase and her movements froze.

The footsteps of the man who entered the room were very heavy. She didn't turn around, but she could feel that he was getting closer to her.

She held her breath. She knew that Yin Xiangze would come back to find her as soon as he found out about this after returning home.

The woman turned around and faced the cold face of the man who was just inches away from her. Her heart was pounding and her eyes were unblinking as she met his gaze.

Yin Xiangze grabbed the woman's arm, using a lot of strength to drag her upstairs, ignoring her wishes.

When the servants downstairs saw this scene, they looked at each other in dismay. None of them understood why Mister was so angry. The look in his eyes just now was so terrifying, it was as if the servants had never seen it before.

Yin Qinghuan didn't struggle as she allowed this man to lead her into his room. Then, she heard the sound of the door slamming shut.

Yin Qinghuan's body fell unbalanced onto the cold floor. Her knees were hit, but she didn't move. She didn't get up immediately. Instead, she clenched her fists and took two steps back.

Yin Xiangze looked down at her condescendingly. The maliciousness in his deep eyes was so obvious. She could not be more familiar with such a gaze. If her guess was correct, Yin Xiangze would want to … Just strangle her.
