Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 973 - Chapter 973 Chapter 972 The Death of A Rong

Chapter 973: Chapter 972 The Death of A Rong Chapter 973: Chapter 972 The Death of A Rong Sister Chen came to see her, which definitely meant there was something important. She had just been rudely dismissed by Bei Jiang. As it happened, she was free and decided to visit the new company.

She had never even seen the company in Imperial City before! It would be just like recognizing the doorway.

And Gu Qiu had moved into the wolf’s den, which left her a bit uneasy! Although she had orchestrated it all, she could not just neglect it afterward! If Gu Qiu truly did not like Xin Yao, she should not be forced too much.

Of course, it would be better if she liked him.

Huo Beijiang shook his head, “I have to go out soon as well, Ning Di is probably already waiting outside.” He was swamped with work; there was no time for sleep.

“Then, are you feeling alright?” Nan Fei thought of the wound she saw last night, and it made her heart ache. She quietly decided to cook something delicious for him tonight to help him recover.

“No problem!” Huo Beijiang rose from the couch. “I’ll go change my clothes.” Having said that, he headed upstairs.

Nan Fei did not even get the chance to stop him. This guy sure was decisive; he headed to her room as if it were more his own than hers.

Mid-mountain villa–

Leng Ran had been restless since morning and only calmed a bit when she heard the sound of car brakes at noon. When she hurried out, Leng Peixi had already gotten out of the car. Accompanying him was a strange man.

Tall and well-built, with deep-set, sculpted features and cold, piercing brown eyes.

Leng Ran’s steps froze in place, as she silently observed the man beside Leng Peixi.

Leng Peixi introduced him expressionlessly, “This is Feng Sha.”

“Where’s A Rong?” a bad premonition instantly seized Leng Ran, and instead of looking at Feng Sha, she focused on Leng Peixi and asked, “Auntie, where’s A Rong? Why didn’t he come back?”

Leng Peixi’s expression grew even uglier, and after a long silence, she snapped, “Dead!”

“Dead?” Leng Ran incredulously repeated, “How can that be? He was fine.”

Last night, A Rong had stood here talking to her, right in the spot she was standing in. How could he be dead now?

Leng Ran looked down, lost in thought, staring at the crossroad beneath her feet, her gaze occasionally drifting to the lush green lawn not far away. She wasn’t really close to A Rong, much less to speak of a friendship. On the contrary, she disapproved of many things A Rong had done.

Yet for some reason, A Rong’s demeanor as he stood beside her last night left a deep impression on her.

He had said he was ready!

At the time, she did not understand, but now it suddenly made sense. Was the readiness he spoke of about being ready to die?

Did he already know back then, was last night his way of saying goodbye to her?

Leng Ran felt like she was ill, and it was no minor ailment. She was not foolish, nor did she typically let emotions guide her. She knew very well A Rong was a villain, his hands covered in blood, the type she despised the most. So why did she feel so sad?

It must have been because she was caught off guard by her first encounter with death, right?

“Huo Beijiang killed him.” The people she had brought were captured, and one of them died on the scene.

That person was A Rong, the very individual that Huo Beijiang had singled out to kill initially as a revenge for Yuan Xueshan.

Leng Peixi felt both pain and hatred in her heart; A Rong’s death was not easy for her.

With A Rong’s abilities, surviving cruelly was not impossible, but he had died there, right in front of her. And all of this was deliberately orchestrated by Huo Beijiang, to kill A Rong in front of her as revenge for Yuan Xueshan.

Had A Rong not been trying to protect her, he might not have died.

PS: Goodnight, my darlings! Gu Qiu is here begging for monthly passes again! Wooing with cuteness, coquettishness, and somersaults for monthly passes! If you still have monthly passes, please be sure to give them to Gu Qiu! Thank you, o(*-) -*)o
