Chapter 760: The Man on the Tombstone (14)

The captain frowned and clenched his fists tightly.

Although he had wealth and a good status, the fact was that, as Monochrome had said, he had no proof.

His acquaintance with Zi Chuan had only been on the Internet.

He didn’t even know where Zi Chuan lived, or what other family members the mysterious man had at home.

How was he going to prove that the person who had died was Zi Chuan?

He glared at Monochrome and relaxed his fist with a dejected look on his face. So were they going to let this man and Xiao Qiao twist the truth of the situation?

Furthermore, Xiao Qiao…

How could she… how could she treat Zi Chuan like this?!

He shook with fury, but at this point, no one could offer any solution.

Because none of them even knew the real Zi Chuan.

Seeing that everyone in the room was silent now, Monochrome smiled coldly and said, “You realize you’re taking the hard way rather than the easy way out, right? You turned down the money when I offered it, but you’ve missed the opportunity now!”

He took a step forward and put his arm around Purple Fairy’s waist, saying, “Okay, Xiao Qiao, since you’ve said your greetings, let’s go. We will leave it here and discuss the arrangements of our agreement elsewhere.”

However, his hand hovered around her waist and pinched it.

His intentions couldn’t be more obvious.

The members of the fighting team frowned when they noticed this.

Someone sighed deeply and said, “How did Xiao Qiao become like this?”

The group watched as the two of them made their way to the door. Yet just as they opened the door and were about to walk out, a delicate and pretty voice shouted, “Stop right there!”

Everyone in the room paused and fell silent.

Even the captain was startled and raised his head. The next moment, he saw the fresh-faced Qiao Lian walk up to the front.

The captain was stunned and then, as if remembering something, he sighed and said to her, “Young lady, regarding Zi Chuan… sigh… there’s not much we can do.”

Upon hearing this, she nodded at the captain and said, “Who said we can’t do much?”

She turned to look straight at Monochrome. “Don’t you even think of looking for a fake Zi Chuan without asking me about it first!”

Monochrome was stunned and stared at Qiao Lian with his disgustingly lustful eyes.

Purple Fairy, on the other hand, now looked at Qiao Lian as though she had just seen a ghost.

Qiao Lian! Forget Chuan! Xiao Qiao!

What was she doing here?!

Purple Fairy turned ghastly white and looked at the crowd nervously.

She gulped.

Initially, she had thought that everything would be fine after signing the agreement with Monochrome. At that point, she would no longer have to worry about being exposed for impersonating Xiao Qiao.

But if her cover was blown now, then the endorsement deal…

At the thought of this, Purple Fairy quickly held onto Monochrome’s arm and said, “Boss, let’s go.”

Monochrome, however, was staring at Qiao Lian lustfully and asked, “Why so? Is this young lady… a newbie? Why have I not seen you before?”

Qiao Lian gave him a mocking smile and said, “Monochrome, I haven’t seen you in years. How did you get as fat as a pig?”

Monochrome twitched his lips briefly at Qiao Lian’s cutting remark.

A few years ago, when they were all part of the competitive team, Monochrome had sent a picture of himself to everyone.

At the time, he looked considerably normal and definitely not as wretched as he was now.

His expression immediately clouded over upon hearing Qiao Lian’s words. “What did you say?”

But after he said this, he was also astonished. “How did you know me?”

All of a sudden, Monochrome felt a strange sense of familiarity in the way this person spoke to him.

That high-and-mighty tone that rang with boldness and confidence.
