Chapter 424 - 424 First Love

424 First Love

Although he had a youthful look on his face that did not match his age, one could still see the vicissitudes of life in his deep eyes. Furthermore, his mask was cold, giving off a cold feeling.

Qiao An looked at him steadily. After looking at him for a long time, she felt that his face was a spitting image of Huo Xiaoran’s.

Qiao An was shocked.

She remembered. This man looked too similar to Huo Xiaoran. Other than the difference in aura, the eyebrows were almost identical.

The man roughly raised Qiao An’s chin and studied her face. Finally, his deep gaze met Qiao An’s pupils.

When their eyes met, Qiao An felt his powerful pressure.

This person is definitely not ordinary, Qiao An thought to herself.

“Young lady, you’re not bad-looking. Unfortunately, you took the wrong path. Hand over the list. I’ll make your death easier.” The man’s voice was cold.

Even though Qiao An had crawled out of hell and met all kinds of demons, she felt incomparably terrified when facing the person in front of her.

“Let me out and I’ll give you the list.”

The man revealed a smile that was inexplicably loving. However, Qiao An was more willing to believe that he was a smiling tiger. He said evilly, “Qiao An, you’re very naughty to play tricks on me.”

He stood and beckoned to the person behind him. “Give her a little hard time.”

The woman behind him walked up and took off her sunglasses, revealing a clean face and familiar eyes.

Qiao An was stunned. “Qianqian? It’s you.”

The woman replied without any fear, “It’s me, Qiao An.”

Qiao An was furious. “No, you’re not Qianqian at all. You were pretending to be Qianqian. Who are you?”

The woman was very vigilant. “Qiao An, are you still trying to get information out of me at a time like this?” She squatted in front of Qiao An, pulled a dagger from her boot, and pressed it against Qiao An’s beautiful face.

“There’s no harm in telling you. Qiao An, listen carefully. I’m Rosa. If you know who I am, you won’t be able to walk out of this room alive.”

Qiao An sneered. “Hehe, I’m not afraid of death, but I know that if I die, my husband will go against you for the rest of his life. He will definitely go looking for you, and then he will make your life a living hell.”

Rosa sneered. “I know Huo Xiaoran loves you very much. His revenge on Lu Mo back then was indeed very cruel. But Qiao An, I’m Qianqian’s biological sister. The Huo family will not let him take revenge on the Lu family.”

Qiao An spat at her. “It’s really unfortunate that the Lu family gave birth to a scum like you.”

Rosa raised her hand and slapped Qiao An hard. “You’re courting death.”

Then she swung the dagger at Qiao An’s face.

The man beside her held her hand and said coldly, “Women love beauty. Destroying her face is no different from strengthening her desire to die. Then our interrogation will not be easy.”

The woman licked the dagger and put it away. “You’re right.”

Then, they launched all kinds of verbal threats and punched and kicked Qiao An.

But Qiao An gritted her teeth and didn’t say a word. She knew better than anyone that if she surrendered the list, her usefulness would disappear and her death would really come.

“Are your bones quite hard?” The man sat on the chair with his legs crossed and looked at Qiao An in a daze. His eyes were complicated and deep.

“Alright,” the man suddenly said.

The rain of fists suddenly stopped. The woman looked at the man in surprise. “Why did you stop?”

“If you beat her to death and can’t get the list, will you be responsible?” The man criticized her instead.

Rosa glanced at Qiao An. Qiao An’s eyes were blurry and she was covered in blood. It did not look good.

Actually, Qiao An was acting too. Because she knew that they would never let her die before they got the list.

But Rosa was indignant and dissatisfied. “I think she’s too stubborn. Is she far from death?”

The man said, “I’ll interrogate her.”

He walked up to Qiao An and whispered into her ear, “Qiao An, why bother? You won’t be able to walk out anyway. Why don’t you give me the list honestly? That way, you won’t suffer so much.”

Qiao An glared at him angrily and cursed, “You demons. You will get your retribution for my hardship today.”

The man frowned. “You’re too uncooperative.”

Then he slapped Qiao An hard across the face.

The burning pain almost made Qiao An faint.

At this moment, Li Zecheng, who had been silent, quietly untied his rope. When the man was abusing Qiao An, he suddenly leaped over and ambushed Rosa from behind when she wasn’t paying attention, throwing her to the ground.

“Aw,” Rosa groaned.

The man turned around and kicked Li Zecheng fiercely, causing him to fall heavily to the ground.

“Li Zecheng,” Qiao An called out sadly.

Li Zecheng slowly got up and shielded Qiao An behind him. He said to her, “Qiao An, I didn’t protect you the last time. I’ve regretted it for many years. This time, let me make up for it.”

“Zecheng,” Huang Yushu shouted with tears in her eyes.

“Brother,” Ze’en shouted.

The man grinned hideously. “If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.” Then, he stepped on Li Zecheng’s chest.

Li Zecheng spat out a mouthful of blood.

Qiao An glared at the man angrily. His handsome face overlapped with Huo Xiaoran’s again. She took a gamble and said to the man, “Do you still remember Xinping?”

The man’s ferocious expression froze. He looked at Qiao An in shock.

At that moment, his thoughts were remote, returning to his sunny teenage days.

If he knew that he would live the rest of his life licking the tip of a knife, he would never provoke that beautiful, gentle, warm, and generous girl.

Xin Ping.

He did not have the ability to predict the future, so he provoked her without a care. When she was deeply in love with him, he chose to disappear from her world.

He did not dare to think about how crazy she would go to look for him in her world. After all, she was so stubborn.

Later, he didn’t even dare to remember this name. This name made his heart ache.

Qiao An looked at the man’s gradually stiffening face and knew that she had made the right choice.

He looked at Qiao An faintly. “How do you know about her?”

Qiao An smiled. “She’s my mother.”

She deliberately misled the man.

The man’s eyes stung. “She got married.”

There was disappointment in that sigh, as well as blessings for the other party.

Qiao An said, “She’s never been married in her life.”
