Chapter 109 Her Mother Was Murdered

From the window of her car, Zhou Liying looked at Qin Yihong. He was waiting for his car which was driven by a driver. She scoffed and anger flashed in her eyes.

She felt hate and anger when looking at her uncle. She did not feel this hate when seeing other family members but his story was different.

Her uncle had not only tortured her in the past, but he had also insulted her mother on many occasions, even after her death. He had brought the Qin family business, which was nurtured by the hard work of her mother, to the brink of bankruptcy.

This man deserved her anger and hate.

"You have insulted my mother, Qin Yihong. Now, her daughter will take her revenge." She pledged. She would slowly snatch everything from his hand, leaving him with nothing but destruction.

"Miss, how did your mom die?" Min Yue asked cautiously.

"A planned accident."

Mu Yuehan became rigid when he heard her. He caught sadness and pain in her voice which acted like a knife in his heart.

"Miss, if you don't mind, can you tell me some more about her accident? Maybe my company will be able to find the murderer."

"Do you think I haven't tried to look for the murderer?" she narrowed her eyes at him. "It happened long years back. There is no clue. We don't even have a lead." She yelled at him with anger.

She poured out all her anger at her failure at Mu Yuehan. She had tried to find the murderer of her mother so many times but she always failed.

"It can be the Qin family." Mu Yuehan spoke, analysing the reasons in his mind.

"They can be. The murderer can also be her business enemies or the man who killed my father. It can be anyone."

Mu Yuehan nodded his head. He made a note in his mind to ask his PI team to investigate the accident of her mother.

Maybe it had something to do with the kidnapping of Zhou Liying four years back or with the hitman whom his shadow guards caught two days ago.

They arrived at the penthouse and Mu Yuehan followed after her.

"Miss, do you have an extra room where I can stay? So, I can always be at your service?" Mu Yuehan asked.

By now, Zhou Liying knew, he was not going to leave her alone. So, she nodded toward Min Yue. "Allot him one of the servant quarter."

Min Yue nodded and gave him the keys to the servant quarter.

Mu Yuehan entered inside the servant quarter and cringed. It was way too small. For the last four years, he had become habitual of staying in luxurious penthouses. Not to forget, the penthouse where Zhou Liying was staying once belonged to him. So the box-like house felt quite small to him.

"I have to be satisfied with it if I want to stay near her." He consoled himself.

He took out his phone and made a call to Li Tao, ordering him to pick him up after fifteen minutes.

Zhou Liying entered her penthouse, followed by Min Yue. "Ask our investigators to have a detailed search on Hanhan. There is something fishy about him." She ordered.

p

"If possible, contact the references in his report. Ask about his reputation and the reason he left his job."

"Ok miss."

Min Yue left her penthouse, only to collide with Mu Yuehan. "Where are you going at this hour of the night?" she narrowed her eyes and looked at him with doubt.

"To retrieve my stuff from my old house." Mu Yuehan replied.

Min Yue nodded her head at his explanation and let him go.

Mu Yuehan smirked and made his way out of the building and toward the car driven by Li Tao.

Once Min Yue left the penthouse, Zhou Liying made her way toward her room. She changed into her bikini which consisted of a top with two strings holding it from the back and a bottom which covered only her private parts.

She wore an overcoat over her bikini and made her way toward the swimming pool. With awe, she looked at the pool. It was quite huge and looked gorgeous under the sky filled with stars.

She removed her overcoat and threw it aside, she dived inside the pool and started to swim. Coldwater floating over her body was making her body wet and relaxed.

She looked so sensual in her bikini, all wet, under the dark sky. If Mu Yuehan was to see her like this now, he'd die of a heart attack. She was looking so erotic when swimming like a mermaid.

Zhou Liying swam toward the edge of the pool, overlooking the city. She knew, that no one could see her from such a height. So, she removed her bikini and placed it on the poolside.

She let the cool water wash over all her body parts. "This city is gorgeous." She commented.

She pushed against the wall of the pool and started to back float, looking at the beautiful sky, full of stars. Perks of having a penthouse at such a height. You could have a clear view of the sky.

Zhou Liying swam for some more time before coming out of the pool, completely nude. She covered her body with a bathrobe and made her way toward her room.

She dried herself before laying down on the bed. She covered her nude body with a blanket and fell asleep.

"Have you completed your work?"

"Check the printouts. There should be no mistake in them."

"Boss has arrived. Be quick. Quickly set the reports in the meeting room."

The whole office was in chaos, especially the department working on the lake project. They knew, their lives were at stake tonight. They had to impress Mu Yuehan with their presentation otherwise, their jobs were gone.

"Where are the photo prints of the presentation?" someone yelled desperately.

"They are in the machine. It will take me time. I can't ask the machine to work faster."

Employees of the lake city project were tired and irritated because of working throughout the night and without a break. They had pleaded to Zhan Wei to help them out but he denied it, and the same was the case with Li Tao.

"Be quick, boss is in his elevator. Prepare everything for the meeting, fast."
