Chapter 532: Bang!

In a hurry, you can’t eat hot tofu.

This is a timeless truth passed down through the ages.

Impatience often leads to failure.

The smarter a person is, the more composed they tend to be.

But no one will miss the opportunity.

Chen Xiao was unsure where the opportunity would present itself.

However, he was confident in Xiaoji Knife Man’s meticulousness and skills.

So now he just waits.

Waiting for the event he anticipated to happen.

Both he and the other person knew very well that Qi Wei’s time in Dongzhou was limited.

As long as there’s a flight, she might even leave right now.

Dongzhou?

Just a place of heartbreak.

No... a disgusting place!

That’s what Qi Wei thought.

The first thing she did after returning to her room was to call her bodyguard.

"Book me the earliest flight back to Shencheng City, the sooner the better."

"Uh... President Qi, have you already left the police station?"

"Yes."

Qi Wei did not offer any further explanation to her bodyguard.

She indeed didn’t inform anyone when she left.

Because Xiaoji Knife Man called her out well.

She was just a woman with no sense in her feelings.

A woman who lived half her life still acting like a young girl, obsessed with love without thinking!

She was disgusted with Dongzhou.

And disgusted with herself.

After the call, Qi Wei sat dazedly in the room.

She reflected on herself.

Not long after, the bodyguard called back.

"President Qi, I’ve checked the flight information; the earliest flight is tomorrow morning."

"Okay."

Qi Wei still responded with just one word, then hung up and continued sitting in a daze in the room.

No one knew how much time passed, but there was a knock on the door from outside the room.

"President Qi, it’s time for dinner."

"I’m not hungry, just take care of yourselves." Qi Wei replied with no anger, but her tone was devoid of even a hint of warmth.

Her words seemed to convey a chill to the bodyguard.

After this, the bodyguard didn’t appear again.

Until late at night.

Qi Wei still didn’t feel the slightest hunger.

But she was no longer as lost as she had been at dusk.

She had begun remotely handling some company affairs.

But just as she was deeply focused on dealing with it, someone suddenly appeared behind her without warning.

Where did this person come from?

He didn’t approach Qi Wei but stared at the few dried blood spots on the floor.

Unfortunately, his face was covered with a crying clown mask.

He looked at the bloodstain while turning back to glance at Qi Wei, who had her back to him.

His gloved right hand alternated between clenching and releasing.

He seemed very hesitant.

Finally, he shook his head as if realizing something was unreliable.

Even his footsteps, muffled by the carpet, barely made a sound.

He fixated his gaze on the bed still bearing traces of warmth.

In a crevice near the headboard, he found a black, button-like object.

No one could see the smile forming beneath the clown mask.

The light in his eyes!

After one more look at Qi Wei, he seemed to leave the room as silently as a ghost.

Qi Wei didn’t even have the slightest awareness!

The clown who left the room stood by the balcony, continuously observing the ground below.

While watching, he occasionally checked the time.

However, he didn’t check the time on a cell phone but glanced at his watch.

When a familiar figure appeared in a dim spot outside the hotel, the corner of the mouth beneath the clown mask lifted again.

He immediately removed the mask, put on a baseball cap, and then left his room and went downstairs.

Over ten minutes later.

Qi Wei, still in the room, received a text message.

Upon seeing the message, a trace of joy appeared on Qi Wei’s face.

But in the next second, she became cautious again.

However, her caution only lasted a few seconds; her mind was occupied by one domineering sentence in the message, "Are you going, or not?"

Finally, Qi Wei stood up, opened the door, and walked downstairs.

All the way out of the hotel, Qi Wei finally saw the car as instructed.

She didn’t think twice, directly opened the car door, and got in.

"Why are you looking for me again?"

Qi Wei asked with an unpleasant expression.

But the person next to her stared out the window in silence.

Qi Wei was stunned, pushed the man beside her, but his head flopped to the side immediately.

In an instant, Qi Wei’s expression changed dramatically, she exclaimed:

"Xiaonan, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me!"

"Don’t worry, President Qi, he’s fine, just passed out."

A sinister voice came suddenly from the back seat.

Qi Wei then turned in horror to look back:

"Who are you!"

The man with the baseball cap slowly raised his head, showing a row of smoke-stained teeth as he smiled and said:

"President Qi, you really are a remarkable person!"

"One would think a businesswoman like you wouldn’t be caught by emotions, especially such fleeting affairs."

"But to my surprise, President Qi actually came down. And this kid is also remarkable, attracting such mature women like you!"

Qi Wei already understood the predicament she was in.

She almost reflexively reached for the car door.

But the man in the hat seemed to predict her thoughts, and he said with a smile:

"President Qi, be rational. If I kill you, this guy can still live. But if you run, you’ll both die."

Qi Wei’s face darkened, and the man in the hat continued:

"Of course, you could disregard his life, but even if you did, do you think you’d really escape?"

At this moment, Qi Wei was incredibly calm.

She looked at the unconscious Xiaoji Knife Man, then at the stranger in the back, and narrowed her eyes as she asked:

"Who exactly are you?"

"You may call me Chen... Yan!"

The hat-wearing man said, smiling once more.

Qi Wei looked at him coldly: "Did you also kill Zuo Shu? Did you two conspire to exchange Zuo Shu’s life for mine and Chen Xiao’s?"

"For those who must die, I see no reason to hide too much."

This statement was already very clear.

Qi Wei nodded, glanced at Xiaoji Knife Man again.

In the depths of her pupils, there was a hidden suppressed expectation as she said:

"So what do you want? You have grudges with Chen Xiao, but what do I have to do with it?"

"President Qi, don’t ask too many questions. I’ve always understood one thing. Be quick with things, so I’ve told you everything you need to know. Close your eyes, it might hurt a little later, but it will quickly go away."

Fear immediately filled Qi Wei’s eyes.

She originally intended to buy some time.

As long as there was time, as long as she was alive, who knew what chance might come in the next second!

But she didn’t expect the other party to have any intention of talking.

A dagger with a cold glint was already in the glove-clad hand.

She had seen the dagger before.

It was the one Xiaoji Knife Man played with!

In an instant, Qi Wei understood that they had calculated that Xiaoji Knife Man would surely come to find her tonight!

And that’s why they wanted to frame Xiaoji Knife Man for her murder!

Understanding all of this, Qi Wei immediately placed her hand on the car door lock.

However, just as her hand moved.

The dagger also stabbed towards her!

But at the same time, an enormous fist from outside smashed through the car window!

"Bang!"
