Lu Sheng was dumbfounded.
She did not expect Xu Cheng to have a wife and child but yet have an affair with Jiang Min.
Jiang Min seemed to know what was going on. When she heard the content of the call, she calmly picked up the cigarette from the table and lit it. Then, she took a deep breath and puffed out smoke rings.
After Xu Cheng hung up, he wanted to continue what he had not finished previously, but Jiang Min pushed him away.
“That’s all for today.”
Jiang Min threw the cigarette into the ashtray, picked up the clothes on the ground, and put them on. She looked at him and said, “Go to the Chu family tomorrow and find out about Chu Hongqing’s situation.”
“Well…” Xu Cheng said hesitantly, “Chu Hongqing called me today, but I didn’t answer. Moreover, he even sent me a message later to ask about the medicinal wine. I think he seems to have become suspicious.”
Jiang Min’s expression changed slightly. “There’s such a thing?”
“Anyway, I don’t dare to see Chu Hongqing again. If he knows something, I’ll have to bear the consequences.”
Chu Hongqing was someone even Jiang Min could not settle, let alone him.
If he went to the Chu family like this, it was the same as sending himself to die.
“If you didn’t answer the call, wouldn’t it appear that you’re guilty?” Jiang Min said coldly, “He should only be suspicious and has no evidence. Moreover, didn’t you drink that wine in front of him too?”
“But what if he already saw something? What’s the difference between me going over like this and throwing my life away?”
When Xu Cheng thought about it now, he was still very scared.
He had already decided that if Chu Hongqing really found out about him, he would leave the capital overnight.
“However, if you don’t go, it will only prove that you’re guilty.”
Xu Cheng hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Okay, I’ll call him back later and visit him tomorrow.”
Jiang Min smiled faintly. “That’s good.”
She picked up her coat and put it on before walking out. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned back. “I’m going to the Master’s place. Are you coming along?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Yes!”
Lu Sheng and Chu Sihan looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Jiang Min had just opened the door when they hurried out. Xu Cheng was the last to close the door.
After leaving, the two of them did not drive. Instead, they walked to the next door.
Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng followed the two of them into the neighboring villa. It was gloomy, as if no one was staying there.
Jiang Min went forward and pressed the doorbell. After about two minutes, the person inside opened the door.
Standing at the door was an old man in a black robe.
The old man looked at Jiang Min and Xu Cheng and said expressionlessly, “Why are you here?”
Xu Cheng said obsequiously, “Master, we came to visit you.”
The old man glanced at him and turned to walk into the room. As he walked, he said, “Come in.”
Chu Sihan and Lu Sheng followed the old man and entered first. Jiang Min and Xu Cheng walked at the back.
The lights in the room were very dark, like the light emitted by lightbulbs from the ’80s and ’90s.
“Master, is there any way to not kill someone but make him forget everything?” Jiang Min lowered her voice and asked.
The old man glanced at her, then at Xu Cheng, and narrowed his eyes.
“Yes, but I’m afraid you can’t pay the price.”
Jiang Min frowned slightly. “Master, please name a price.”
The old man raised a finger and said lightly, “Ten million yuan.”
“Ten million yuan?!”
Jiang Min’s expression changed. “How can such a simple thing be more expensive than letting someone die?”
“No, no!” The old man shook his head and said, “It’s too easy to kill someone. It’s hard to let them live!”
