Chapter 1074 - 1083: What I Fear Is Not Having You by My Side
Chapter 1074: Chapter 1083: What I Fear Is Not Having You by My Side "About me?" Qi Jingren was a bit puzzled.
Mr. Qin’s sword eyebrows slightly furrowed. He first glanced at Qi Jingren, then turned his gaze to Song Zhike, "What, has her identity been exposed?"
"No."
"Then get to the point." Regarding Qi Jingren, Qin Shaobai was more concerned than anyone.
Song Zhike hesitated for a moment and said, "The person who set up Jue before and the one who ambushed him last night are the same. Now all the evidence points to Xiao Chen, but he’s just a puppet, a pawn, and there’s someone else truly manipulating the situation behind the scenes."
"It’s Bei Mo," Shi Aoju opened his mouth calmly.
Song Zhike nodded in agreement. He didn’t ask how Shi Aoju found out about this person, just said, "Half an hour ago, I discovered a clue in an underground casino. The other party cleaned up very carefully but overlooked the most crucial element, a cigarette butt."
He glanced at Shi Aoju and Qin Shaobai, and continued, "Before, we jointly developed a new type of cigarette, LYK, exclusively for royal use. And we have only one buyer, which is Bei Mo."
Qin Shaobai rested his chin in thought for a while, "Logically speaking, Bei Mo should be in Y Country now, why would he show up here."
As if thinking of something, he turned to Qi Jingren and asked, "Has he contacted you?"
"No," Qi Jingren said, "He has the ability to find out my phone number, but he definitely wouldn’t dare to harass me."
Qin Shaobai nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Shi Aoju, asking, "How did you know it was him?"
"It was a deduction," Shi Aoju replied, "There’s hardly anyone besides Bei Mo who would have the financial capability to contend with us. His motive is obvious, I imagine you all know what it is."
Song Zhike nodded. They should have connected it to Bei Mo sooner; if they’d found the truth earlier, perhaps last night’s events wouldn’t have happened. Ultimately, it was the three of them who were careless.
"This cultured scoundrel," Qi Jingren said with slight anger, "What skill is there in hurting people around me? If he has the guts, come at me and take me away!"
"He dares," Qin Shaobai’s eyes were coated with a layer of chilliness, emanating a dangerous aura.
"He’s even daring enough to kill people now, what wouldn’t he dare to do?" Qi Jingren took a deep breath to calm down, furrowed his brow, and said, "This started because of me, so I must resolve it. His goal is to get me, if I stay with you, it’ll only bring you danger. How about this, the three of you go back now, and I’ll call my brother to send someone to pick me up."
Qi Jingren said this as she took out her phone, about to dial when Qin Shaobai grabbed her hand, his gaze deep and his voice irrevocably hoarse, "Stay."
He didn’t say anything extra, just those simple three words.
Qi Jingren looked at him calmly and said, "If I stay, the next one in trouble will be you."
"I’m not afraid to die." Qin Shaobai met her eyes and said word by word, "What I’m afraid of is not having you by my side."
"Qin Shaobai, be rational." Qi Jingren decisively broke free of his hand, dialed the number she had already found in her contacts, and when the call connected, she explained the situation to the other side and gave her address.
