Liu Mo is dead.
Those words echoed in his head as he closed his eyes shut and leaned back onto the seat. Han Juexian watched his boss through the mirror, not daring to say anything.
"How did he die?"
"They said that he drank too much alcohol and had a stroke," Han Juexian replied.
"They?" He asked calmly.
"The doctors and Mr. Liu's assistant told the media. Boss, this death is very suspicious. Wasn't Liu Mo very healthy?" Han Juexian said, confused.
"He was murdered," Shentu Jing said, his eyes still closed.
"Murdered!?" Han Juexian was shocked.
"Liu Mo was going to sign a business deal with Chang Geng and the Xu family. That business deal itself was worth millions. It could give Liu Mo a lot of advantages and a chance to boost his prestige in Shengjing,"
"Boss, who do you think wanted his life? It must be someone hidden in the dark," Han Juexian thought about it. The Xu family and Chang Geng aren't stupid people. They wouldn't kill their partner who was going to help them make millions. It has to be someone else! A rival!
"Whoever it is, we have to be wary of them. We are both in the dark," Shentu Jing said. He wanted to talk to Liu Mo because of that incident that happened ten years ago. Shentu Jing didn't care about the business deals or millions of dollars. He had all of those already. Liu Mo was one of the eyewitnesses who saw what happened in that accident.
Then there was that girl who pulled him out of the wreckage. He remembered how she tenderly woke him up and rubbed his palms to keep him warm. However he fell unconscious and was sent to the hospital.
Later when he woke up, that girl was gone. The doctors told him that he was lucky to survive that crash. Everyone else who was involved had died. Died..... Including the girl who saved his life? Those words struck him hard. The faces of the victims in the crash kept popping up into his head ever since that day. The blood gushing out from the wounds on the corpse, the pungent smell of burnt skin and flesh, the eyes of the lifeless corpses staring at him. Ever since that day, he suffered from insomnia. No matter what he did and what doctor he hired, it couldn't be treated.
"Boss! Boss!"
Shentu Jing was pulled back to reality. He opened his eyes and blinked a few times. Han Juexian's face came into view.
"Boss, you were shaking! I thought you were having a heart attack!" He said worriedly.
"Ah Xian, I'm healthy and won't get a heart attack. Don't tell anyone about today," he told his subordinate strictly.
"Yes, boss," Han Juexian nodded. Shentu Jing was also sweating and he looked pale. Did his boss think back about his past? Han Juexian didn't say a word and they drove off.
They arrived at their destination, a nightclub. Shentu Jing and Han Juexian walked into the bustling club with neon lights dancing all over the floor.
"Boss, are you sure he's here?" Han Juexian asked.
"He definitely is," Shentu Jing said.
Many people were dancing and partying wildly. Some men were kissing girls and touching their bodies while others were drinking until they were drunk.
Shentu Jing looked up and saw his target. At that moment, their eyes met and the latter smiled.
Two muscular bodyguards came to escort Shentu Jing and Han Juexian upstairs.
"Such a grand place. Having fun by yourself is boring. Why don't you let this brother accompany you?" The sexy lips moved and spoke to Shentu Jing.
Shentu Jing approached the owner of the club and kicked him off the chair!
"Ow! Shentu Jing! Why did you do that?!"
"That's for not answering my calls, Lao Xi. Why are you hiding in this club?" Shentu Jing occupied Peixuan Ruxi's exquisite chair.
Peixuan Ruxi rubbed his sore butt and had to pick another chair to sit down on.
"My phone's battery is dead," Peixuan Ruxi pointed to his phone that was charging.
"By the way, why are you here? Still having trouble sleeping? Do you want me to gift you a pretty maiden? Then perhaps you can sleep better," Peixuan Ruxi playfully said.
"Save those for yourself. Lao Xi, do you have the list of places Liu Mo went to before he died?" Shentu Jing said.
"Oh yes. Take a look," Peixuan Ruxi passed a file to Shentu Jing.
Shentu Jing squinted at an address.
"That is the Qin family's old mansion. The Qin family no longer live there after they went bankrupt. I heard that after the family went bankrupt, the grandfather died and the master of the family left and married a rich woman. He abandoned his wife and only daughter for money and fame. How despicable. The daughter married into the Xu family and later was divorced because the husband's old lover came back. Such a pitiful sight," Peixuan Ruxi sighed and shook his head.
"Where is the daughter of the Qin family now?" Shentu Jing asked. He was interested to know why Liu Mo visited the Qin family.
The Qin family and Liu Mo were total strangers. They never met or did business with one another. So why did they meet this time?
"Hard to find her. Oh, and there's another thing that's strange," Peixuan Ruxi tapped on his phone as his people sent him more information.
"What?" Shentu Jing had a feeling that this wasn't going to be good.
"The Qin family was also involved in that crash ten years ago. One of my men reported that the heiress of the Qin family survived the crash too. But it wasn't reported," Peixuan Ruxi's face was pale. He knew what his best friend was thinking about.
The doctors and media said that Shentu Jing was the only survivor. Why was there another? Was someone pulling strings behind all of these?
