Chapter 459

, just call me directly. No need to listen to those who 'happen' to run into me or summon me back to the old house for you to see with your own eyes.""That's not necessary," Old Master Huo patted his...Ji Lin's car accident couldn't have been planned by Li Qin alone in a short time, there must be someone behind the scenes helping her. Since Li Qin refused to speak up, he could only sit and wait for the trap to close on him.

"What is your relationship with her"

The man said nothing. Cao Yuan walked over without a word, picked up a chair from the side, and gripped its leg tightly before smashing it against the wall. In an instant, the part of the chair leg he was holding was reduced to a sharp point.

He aimed the sharp point at the man's lower body, the most sensitive area for pain nerves. One kick there could knock someone unconscious, let alone a strong man like Cao Yuan using a tool. It was practically torture.

Seeing this, the man's face turned pale with fright, and he hastily explained.

“I met her in Paris. I'm also from Nancheng. Her child was the one I sent to Nancheng, and I also did other things for her. That car accident was also arranged by me. She even wanted to kill Qi Ce. I was worried that she would expose me, so I had to silence her first. Mr. Huo, please spare me, I have a heart condition and can't take the shock.”

However, the moment his words fell, the man suddenly seemed to be gasping for air, his face turning a purplish red. He mumbled something as if trying to speak, but the next second, he went rigid and lost consciousness.

Cao Yuan quickly checked the other person's pulse and frowned, "He's dead."

Cao Fang was shocked.

Cao Yuan took out his ID from him, it was indeed from Nanshen.

Then everything he said would make sense.

Ho Mingzheng's jawline was tight, and he said in a cold voice, "It wasn't him."

To plan that car accident, one would absolutely need to have an intimate understanding of Nanshan's terrain and sufficient capability. The other party clearly doesn't possess both of these conditions simultaneously, otherwise, why would they need to do it themselves

This person is most likely someone behind the scenes trying to test him, wanting to know if he has started to suspect anything.

Ho Mingzheng's eyes narrowed, and Cao Fang followed his steps out of the villa. Ho Mingzheng's gaze swept coldly around the surroundings of the villa.

The rain has lessened, and the surroundings are shrouded in mist. There is an eerie silence, not even a rustle of grass from the wind.

"Mr. Huo, what's wrong"

Huo Mingzheng stood in the porch, and suddenly a cold wind blew over, scattering some of the mist around the villa.

"Li Qin has people keeping a close eye on things here."

He glanced at his watch; it was already midnight.

After getting into the car, he called Lao Guanjia and asked, "Has she gone to sleep"

Luo, the housekeeper, replied: "Miss Fu couldn't sleep. I thought she was too bored, so I turned on the TV for her. She wants to watch the sports channel."

Huo Mingzheng pursed his thin lips. He was thinking of Ji Lin.

"Don't bother her, I'll be back soon."

The car drove out of the gated community.

In the villa opposite Li Qin's, on the second floor, a room with no lights was lit. A pale, bony hand withdrew from the gap between the curtains.

In the dimly lit room, footsteps echoed. A sliver of light from the window illuminated a pair of straight and long legs walking out of the room, and then the door creaked shut.

Ho Mingzheng's car had just driven out of the district and into an unpopulated area when suddenly there was a loud bang. A wheel skidded, Cao Fang gripped the steering wheel tightly and quickly stabilized the car.

Cao Yuan's face changed color. "General Huo, someone shot at our wheels!"

The tall streetlights ahead shone into the car, illuminating Huo Mingzheng's cold and solemn face.

Another bang! The front wheel was hit, and on the wet road, the car skidded out of control, veering straight towards the stone pillar under the bridge!ay.The elevator doors outside closed, and Huo Mingzheng retracted his hand, saying softly, "Cao Yuan will send you back. I have something to do."Li Qin's eyes darkened for a moment, then she smiled an...
