“What’s wrong?”

Shen Nanxiao could see her abnormality at a glance. Her face, which had just been illuminated by the faint moonlight, was now covered with a gloomy face. Her pair of peach blossom-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting hatred. Even her hand had become stiff.

That was the car that was used for the hit-and-run, and the person who got out of the car… well done! So it was you!

“Nan… gong… Shu! I won’t let you go…” Liu Qi clenched her teeth in her heart, and naturally, she did not say this out loud.

Although the person who got out of the car was not Nangong Shu, it was Uncle Fu! It was Uncle Fu who Nangong Shu wanted her to ride together to the airport with him. It was also because she was the one who sent him to the airport back then, so the police naturally could not find this person.

Nangong Shu said that Uncle Fu was his great benefactor. At that time, Liu Qi had always been grateful to Uncle Fu. Now, it looked so ridiculous and stupid. It was no wonder that Nangong Shu laughed at her. He was laughing at her stupidity!

It was also her fault that she did not recognize Liu Fu and sent him away. The real mastermind was Nangong Shu.

Nangong Shu’s family owned a management company called Roland. Lu Xue was Roland’s artist, and in the future she would be a popular movie star.

That year, Roland was investigated for tax evasion. The result was that the person in charge of the finances had pocketed money. At that time, many of Roland’s artists had canceled their contracts, even at the cost of a high penalty. It was obvious that it was not that simple.

That year, Roland’s deficit was serious, and it was affected by all sorts of things. Counting the days, it happened just last month.

However, this directly affected Vice President Nangong Shu, and he lost a lot of financial resources.

At the beginning of the month, Nangong Shu had even asked her for money, but Liu Qi had not been able to take out so much money at that time.

So, he had to murder someone?

Shen Nanxiao followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged, slightly plump man. He did not quite understand what grudge Liu Qi had with this person that made her so angry.

“Investigate,” Shen Nanxiao said softly. Wu Feng immediately understood what he meant and quickly nodded.

At this time, Liu Qi still could not come back to her senses. She hated, she was angry, she wanted to charge forward, but now… what reason did she have to punish Liu Fu for his crime?

Thinking of this, Liu Qi trembled with hatred. So you do not need to pay back the sins of your past life? Should she just let him get away with it? No, Liu Qi knew that she could not do it. Even in her past life, she had tried her best to investigate, just to return justice to her parents.

But she had never thought that the murderer was the person who slept next to her. She was pleasing the murderer!

“Don’t be afraid, I’m here.” Shen Nanxiao had a row of nail marks on the back of his hand. He held her trembling little hand tightly back.

Liu Qi, who had come back to her senses, let out a light breath. The car had already been driven away. Liu Fu had also entered the hotel. Wu Feng, who was behind Shen Nanxiao, had disappeared without anyone knowing.

“Um… Shen Nanxiao, I’ll go back first. I’m not feeling well.” Liu Qi was really not in the mood. She felt very tired. The more she knew, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Shen Nanxiao stared at the dejected person in front of him. In the past, Liu Qi was very lively, stubborn, and willful. She never cried when she wanted to. When did she become so fragile and cautious.

In fact, when she bared her fangs and brandished her claws to scold him, she was also very cute. At least at that time, Liu Qi knew how to vent. She was not as patient as she was now.

“Alright, I’ll send you back.”

…

Liu family.

When Liu Qi returned, the butler said that Mother Liu had already been driven out.

However, she did not mind. She only wanted to go upstairs to sleep. Her thoughts were too messy, and they were tangled into a knot.

It was night.

The bright moon hung high outside. Liu Qi barely woke up. Just as she was about to take her phone from the bedside, she heard footsteps coming upstairs.

Immediately after, the butler’s voice sounded, “Miss, Miss, something bad has happened. Mister called just now. Madam has been in a car accident and is now at the city hospital. He asked you to hurry over.”

This news was like a sudden clap of thunder in the sky, making people’s hearts tremble. Only then did Liu Qi panic and turn on her phone. There were a few missed calls on it. Besides her father’s, there was also one from Shen Nanxiao.

She had turned her phone on mute before she went to sleep!

Liu Qi did not care about anything else. She felt that she had put on her shoes and staggered to open the door. She ignored the anxious-looking butler and ran straight downstairs.

How could there be an accident? How could…

Was it Nangong Shu? He still did not give up. He wanted to do it a second time!

“Miss, I will drive you there right away.” The butler chased after her, but Liu Qi had already run out of the gate.

At this moment, she heard the sound of a car braking. A car stopped outside the iron gate. Liu Qi stopped at the iron gate, and the window slid down, revealing Shen Nanxiao’s handsome side profile.

“Get in the car.”

“Oh, okay!” Liu Qi hurriedly ran out. The door to the passenger seat had already been opened from the inside. Liu Qi quickly sat in it, and Shen Nanxiao’s slender hands caringly fastened the seatbelt for her.

The car started. Shen Nanxiao spoke slightly faster, “I went to the hospital to see Auntie. She’s still in resuscitation. I called you, but you didn’t pick up, so I thought of coming to pick you up.”

“I fell asleep in the afternoon. Then… then do you know what happened? How did my mother…” the remaining Liu Qi did not dare to speak. She thought that she had prevented the tragedy and that everything was fine.

If… if she had gone to look for her mother in the afternoon, nothing would have happened. However, there were no ifs in this world.

“Currently, the police are still investigating. It was two cars that were going in the opposite direction and collided with Auntie. The owner of the car that was going in the opposite direction was drunk driving. It is currently classified as an accident.” Shen Nanxiao’s tone was serious. He had seen the surveillance footage and it did not seem like an accident. Auntie’s car had clearly dodged it, but the two cars chased relentlessly and crashed into her.

Liu Qi trembled and shook her head. Her gaze was dark as she said with unusual determination, “No, it wasn’t an accident. It definitely wasn’t an accident. It was murder!”

“What?” Shen Nanxiao looked at Liu Qi in surprise. His eyes were filled with questions. However, in an instant, Shen Nanxiao returned to normal and asked, “Do you know something?”

At this moment, the phone in Liu Qi’s hand lit up. It was a Wechat message.

On the screen, Brother Nangong said, “Ah Qi, I heard that Auntie got into a car accident. How is she?”

If she remembered correctly, Nangong Shu was in the North City, the capital of the country. It was far away from the South City. Why would he greet her at this time?

She opened Wechat. Apart from this new message, there was also the essay that she sent to Nangong Shu ten days ago. Nangong Shu had not replied to her for ten days, but he was greeting her at this time.

Liu Qi already knew what his motive was.

Liu Qi sorted out her emotions. She could not alert the enemy now. In her previous life, Nangong Shu had not been found to have any connection with the car accident. It seemed that Nangong Shu had prepared well. Those people must be loyal to Nangong Shu, no matter what, they did not mention Nangong Shu; they insisted that it was drunk driving.

Cat Cat was Liu Qi’s screen name. Cat Cat: I’m not sure yet. I’m in the car too. I’m on my way to the hospital.

Brother Nangong: Don’t be afraid, Ah Qi. Is Uncle okay? I’m in the North City. I bought a plane ticket and will be back shortly. Although I’m busy here and Roland is short of funds, I still want to be by your side. I think that way, Ah Qi will be less afraid.

This “Ah Qi” made Liu Qi feel disgusted. So it was for money. If it was in her previous life, she would have thought of a way to send money over long ago.

Since Liu Qi did not avoid Shen Nanxiao, she was naturally looked at a lot. Shen Nanxiao knew Nangong Shu. He also knew that Liu Qi often quarreled with her parents because of Nangong Shu. Perhaps she was forced by her parents, to say that she liked him.

Liu Qi took a deep breath and suppressed her hatred. She quickly removed Nangong Shu’s remarks and turned his name back into Roland.

Shen Nanxiao no longer spoke. He held the steering wheel and pursed his thin lips. He was like melting snow on a snowy mountain.
