NOVEL NEXT Chapter 437: A Love-brain Fool
While the members explored the underground mine, in the dark alley of the Yunshan City Base, Rong Qinyu stood in front of a man.
The man covered his bleeding stomach and glared at him with bloodshot eyes as he said, "Rong Qinyu, why did you do this?"
Staring at the man on the ground, Rong Qinyu sneered and said coldly, "Why do I do this? It's because you are blocking my mission."
Hearing this, the man's eyes widened in shock as realization dawned on him. He said, "Who are you?"
"Who I am is not important. Now that you've found out my secret, you can't be left alive," Rong Qinyu said as he raised his hand.
The next moment, five metal needles pierced the man's head, killing him instantly. After he was sure the man was dead, Rong Qinyu retrieved the metal needles with a wave of his hand and left the dark alley.
Twenty minutes later, a little girl finally walked out from behind a pile of trash. She stared at the cold body on the ground with a pale face. After a while, she mustered up her courage and went to check on the body.
She searched for a while before she found the wallet and weapons. She looked at the cold body with teary eyes for a moment before whispering, "Brother, I'm sorry for being a coward."
After taking one last glance, the little girl ran away from the dark alley and went to the central government area.
At noon, a guard went to Feng Xiu's office and reported, "Commander, a little girl wants to meet you. She said that she has an important secret to tell you."
Hearing this, Feng Xiu raised her gaze from the document and said with a frown, "A little girl?"
After a moment of thought, she said, "Bring her in."
The soldier nodded and went out after receiving her order. Not long after, he returned, followed by a little girl. Feng Xiu observed the girl and noticed her dirty, unkempt appearance.
After a moment, she noticed the weapons the girl held and said, "Little girl, come over."
The girl hesitated for a moment before walking over and looking at her timidly. After observing her for a moment, she asked, "Sister, are you Brother Ming's best friend, Sister Feng Xiu?"
Hearing this, Feng Xiu nodded and asked, "Little girl, where did you get this weapon? Was it given by Brother Ming?"
When the little girl heard her words, her eyes reddened and she nodded as tears started to fall. Using her dirt-covered hand, she wiped away her tears and said, "Sister, a bad man killed Brother Ming. I tried to wake him up, but he was no longer breathing."
The moment she said this, Feng Xiu's eyes flickered before she forced herself to calm down. Taking a deep breath, she asked tremblingly, "Little girl, can you bring us to Brother Ming?"
The little girl nodded and handed the weapon and bloodstained wallet to her.
Staring at the bloodstains, Feng Xiu tightened her grip and followed the little girl. Besides her and the girl, five guards followed them.
When they arrived at the deserted, dark alley, the thick, rusty scent hit their noses. The guards exchanged glances and rushed over. The moment they saw the body on the ground, they exclaimed in shock, "Vice Captain!"
One of them, a doctor, checked his condition. After a while, he shook his head and said, "He is gone."
Standing on the side, Feng Xiu clenched her fists tightly, then turned to the little girl squatting beside Brother Ming and asked, "Little girl, did you see who did it?"
The little girl turned pale as soon as she heard the question. She nodded, then shook her head while staring at her warily.
Noticing her guarded stance, Feng Xiu squatted in front of her and asked again, "Did you see who did it?"
The little girl lowered her head as her body trembled in fear. After a long time, she finally raised her head and said, "It's…"
"Feng Xiu, what are you doing here?"
The moment the little girl heard the voice, her body stiffened and goosebumps covered her arms. Noticing her instinctive reaction, Feng Xiu's heart sank.
Recalling Xun Che's warning and the strange behavior her boyfriend displayed after he returned from Luyang City last year, an outrageous thought flashed through her mind.
Staring into the little girl's fearful eyes, she patted her shoulders and whispered, "Be good. Don't say a word."
The little girl nodded and lowered her head. She didn't even dare to glance at Rong Qinyu and continued holding onto Brother Ming's stiff fingers.
As he walked toward them, Rong Qinyu's eyes lingered on the little girl's back for a while before he asked with a smile, "Feng Xiu, who is this girl?"
When they heard his question, the guards were stunned. Everyone knew that Brother Ming had a good relationship with Rong Qinyu, and they often did missions together.
Logically speaking, when someone saw his friend was killed, he wouldn't be this calm. He would first ask about what happened to his friend. But Rong Qinyu was so calm he could even ask about a little girl, as if he already knew about Brother Ming's death.
Reaching this conclusion, they stared at him with suspicion.
As if noticing his slip of tongue, Rong Qinyu turned to look at the body and asked with surprise, "Brother Ming? What happened to him?!"
Hearing this, Feng Xiu finally realized how fake her boyfriend was. She always thought she was a rational person. But when she faced her boyfriend's affections, she became a love-brain fool.
She had actually noticed that her boyfriend was different since he came back last year. But she was unwilling to face the truth and tried to fool herself. Now, she could no longer fool herself when facing her friend's cold body.
Standing up, she turned toward her boyfriend and, without warning, a thin metal rope flew toward Rong Qinyu. The next moment, the rope wrapped around him and tied him instantly.
Being tied up so suddenly, Rong Qinyu looked at his girlfriend in shock and asked, "Feng Xiu, what is the meaning of this?"
