Chapter 1510 - Major Homicide (1)
“You knew about it?” Qin Chu didn’t think Huo Mian knew how Huo Siqian felt towards her.
However, she had known for a while now but was in denial all this time.
“Mhm, I knew about it a long time ago, but the way he loves me isn’t love. It’s mutated… All he wants is to dominate, to possess, and… to incarcerate me,” Huo Mian analyzed Huo Siqian’s feelings towards her.
“Indeed… Huo Siqian is a crazy person… his methods cannot be comprehended by normal people.” Qin Chu agreed with Huo Mian’s analysis.
Then, she sighed…
“What’s wrong?” Qin Chu reached out and gently caressed her cheeks.
“I was just thinking… sometimes human hearts are horrible. My mom and I trusted Uncle Jing so much and I always thought he loved me. But…”
“But he was willing to betray you and your mother?”
“It’s not just that. Back then, Huo Zhenghai gave Jing De some money to give to my mom, but he never did. I suspect he gave that money to the doctor who delivered me, so the doctor would hide the fact that I was switched at birth.”
“Perhaps he switched you because he loved your mother and didn’t want her to be sad over her dead child…”
“Maybe, but it seems like Uncle Jing was a shrewd and manipulative man, so who knows if he really did it for my mom? But never mind, he’s already dead, and I don’t want to blame him anymore.” Huo Mian looked down, feeling depressed.
No matter what immoral things Jing De did to her, her love for Zhixin would never change…
“Now, the last part is for me to tell you about your father and sister’s identity.”
“I’m guessing they’re not ordinary people, right? Or else they wouldn’t cause so much trouble and refuse to see me all these years.” Huo Mian smiled.
“You’re right… I was shocked when I first found out about your true identity as well…” Qin Chu smiled back at her. He didn’t want to tell her because he was afraid she would act rashly, but right now, she seemed so calm and sensible… even more so than himself…
Perhaps Huo Siqian’s threat wouldn’t have made a difference, because with what was going on right now, Huo Mian wouldn’t go looking for her family even if she found out.
“Your dad is…” Qin Chu was just about to tell her when his phone began to ring.
It was from a number he didn’t recognize.
“Hello?”
“Qin Chu…”
“Song Yishi?” Qin Chu frowned upon hearing her voice.
“It’s me…”
He blocked Song Yishi’s number a while ago, so she couldn’t get through to him and therefore, got a new number.
Qin Chu hadn’t heard from her ever since she came looking for him and asked him to kill Huo Siqian.
Afterward, Huo Siqian got into a car accident but didn’t die.
Song Yishi, on the other hand, seemed to have disappeared from the public eye.
Tonight, at the dinner party, she stood beside Huo Siqian with a fake smile on her face the entire time, looking like a puppet.
Truth be told, if she hadn’t called Qin Chu, he and Huo Mian would’ve forgotten that she existed.
“What do you want?” Qin Chu asked in an unfriendly matter.
“Can you come to my private mansion?”
“I can’t, I’m busy.”
“Qin Chu, please come save me. I’m dying, I’m really dying…” Then, before Qin Chu could respond, she hung up.
He was just about to hang up the phone and turn his attention back to Huo Mian when he received a text message from Song Yishi’s new number.
The text contained a single sentence and a photo.
“Come to 39 Jingwei Road right now. Come alone, there’s something important I have to talk to you about.”
As Qin Chu scrolled down, the photo he saw shocked every bone in his body…
