Chapter 232: Chapter 178: Stone Gambling

Qin Qin’s brow furrowed slightly as she slowly described, "The man was about thirty years old, with a mole between his brows, and his hair was somewhat long..."

Qin Qin struggled to recall the blurry image of the killer’s face, her fists clenched tightly, feeling a painful tightness in her chest.

After ten minutes, Zhang Yue took the description of the killer written by Deng Zhi next to him and then handed it to Deng Zhi.

"It’s getting late, let me take you back," Zhang Yue said in a low voice, walking over to Qin Qin after everything was settled.

Qin Qin glanced at Zhang Yue and then nodded. They were heading in the same direction, so there was no need for formalities.

Zhang Yue’s car was relatively unassuming, and Qin Qin got into Zhang Yue’s car.

The vehicle slowly made its way towards Blue Bay Scenery, and in no time at all, they had arrived outside Blue Bay Scenery.

The car stopped outside Qin Qin’s villa. Qin Qin got out of the car and thanked Zhang Yue. He smiled and shook his head, "Actually, we don’t need to be so formal, Qin Qin. Thank you for today."

"No need to thank me, I took the money, so it’s what I should do. Just remember to deposit it quickly into my account, don’t renege," Qin Qin said in a low voice, raising her eyebrows. She wasn’t about to work for free; she still wanted what she was owed.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Zhang Yue’s lips before he smiled, "Qin Qin, we’ve known each other for a while now, can’t you make an exception just this once?"

"An exception? If I made exceptions every time, I’d starve to death. Since we’re acquaintances, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount."

As soon as Qin Qin finished speaking, her gaze suddenly caught sight of a familiar vehicle not far away. A handsome man stood beside the car, watching her, his eyes deep. Qin Qin’s brow furrowed slightly as she waved to Zhang Yue, who then drove away.

After Zhang Yue left, the handsome man approached Qin Qin, "Long time no see!"

His voice was somewhat hoarse; his skin had darkened quite a bit since before.

"Yeah, long time no see!"

The man before her was Jiang Qingtian. She didn’t understand why he had come to Chuandu City, "Do you have a mission here?"

Jiang Qingtian gazed deeply at Qin Qin and shook his head, "No, I came especially to see you."

The atmosphere, which had been relatively relaxed, suddenly became tense, and Qin Qin frowned subtly.

Jiang Qingtian gave a bitter smile, knowing full well she had no romantic feelings for him, yet unable to control his own heart.

"Qin Qin, actually... I came specifically to find you. I’ve thought about it for a long time; I can’t ignore what I feel," he said, his phoenix eyes fixed intently on Qin Qin. "I like you! I know you only think of me as a friend, but... can you give me a chance to earn the right to be by your side?"

Qin Qin stood still, unwilling to witness the hidden passion in Jiang Qingtian’s eyes, feeling apologetic as she couldn’t reciprocate.

"I’m sorry, Jiang Qingtian, it’s not possible!" Wanting to put an end to his hopes, she decided to cut the matter short.

Pain flickered across Jiang Qingtian’s handsome face, yet despite knowing the outcome, he still couldn’t give up.

"Why?" Jiang Qingtian suddenly grabbed Qin Qin’s arm, his eyes bright, as if trying to see through her heart.

Qin Qin pulled her hand back, looking firmly at him, "Jiang Qingtian, to me, you’re a friend, but not a lover."

"Why can’t you think of me as a lover? If there’s something about me you don’t like, I can change," Jiang Qingtian said, getting somewhat agitated, his hands gripping Qin Qin’s arms.

"Jiang Qingtian, I’m just an ordinary person, and you’re the young master of the Jiang Family. You don’t need to change for my sake. Also, I already have someone I like, so I’m sorry." Qin Qin didn’t try to pull away from his grasp but looked up and said coldly.

Jiang Qingtian seemed to be hit hard, stepping back after releasing Qin Qin, his face showing disbelief, his voice hoarse with sadness, "Someone you like?! Was it the person who just dropped you off?"

He had been waiting here for Qin Qin for half a day, only to find her being dropped off by another man. Although he couldn’t make out the man’s full appearance, he knew the man was young and seemed rather good-looking.

He had only lost contact with her for a while, and now she already had someone she liked.

Qin Qin closed her mouth, saying nothing, letting Jiang Qingtian misunderstand. She couldn’t very well say that she liked Mo Yunchen, after all.

Jiang Qingtian laughed bitterly, turned around, and paused without looking back, his voice hoarse, "Sorry for bothering you."

Qin Qin watched Jiang Qingtian leave hastily, his figure retreating in a disheveled manner. She silently apologized again.

Then she turned and entered the villa.

In Jingdu City, Jiang Qingtian returned to the Jiang Residence. In the vast and luxurious living room, Mo Qianhui and Lin Tianya were chatting affectionately. Upon seeing Jiang Qingtian’s return, Lin Tianya stood up from the sofa, straightening her dress and bashfully called out, "Brother Qingtian, you’re back?"
