Qi Ye???
Li Qiqi’s heart jumped, and she looked in the direction of the voice.
She saw a man walking towards her at the end of the corridor, with one hand in his pocket, his steps steady and slow—
He was very tall, at least six foot three, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, his figure straight and tall, his long legs moving alternately.
Under the neon lights of the corridor, the man’s already perfect and delicate facial features appeared even more profound.
He was wearing a black shirt, the collar slightly open, from his jawline to his neck, and the faintly revealed strong and sturdy chest muscles…
He was dressed like a hooligan, but everywhere he exuded an air of casual nobility.
Coupled with that arrogant and indifferent appearance, a naturally domineering aura, and eyes that looked down on everything.
As if everyone should be prostrate at his feet.
Even Manager Yao, who was usually arrogant and domineering, had restrained his sharpness and was personally leading the way for this “Qi Ye” with a nod and a bow.
Two bodyguards followed behind him.
One was neatly dressed, fair and clean, with a metal mechanical watch on his wrist that looked expensive at a glance.
The other had a buzz cut, dark skin, and a full-arm tattoo. A black long coat and a scarf, stained with water stains from melting snow, hung on his sturdy arms.
Li Qiqi’s heart was beating violently. This was probably what they meant by enemies meeting on a narrow road—
These three men… were the murderers who killed and dumped the body ten days ago and were now searching for her everywhere.
She didn’t dare to make eye contact with Qi Xiaoye, fearing that he would recognize her. She consciously pulled the tray back to her chest and shrank to the side of the door like a quail.
“Qi Ye, we’re here. Brother Xiao is inside.”
Manager Yao stood next to Li Qiqi, bending over and making a “please” gesture to Qi Xiaoye.
Li Qiqi wanted to leave, but Manager Yao grabbed her.
“Lower your head!!”
Manager Yao’s voice was too loud, causing Li Qiqi to tremble all over. She quickly buried her head even lower.
Qiao Xiao in the private room looked over, hugging two beauties and smiling lewdly at Qi Xiaoye.
“Qi Ye is really a busy man. I’ve been waiting and hoping, and I only see you today!”
Qi Xiaoye glanced at Qiao Xiao indifferently, without responding, and stepped inside, sitting opposite Qiao Xiao.
Atai hung the coat and scarf in his hand on the coat rack in the corner of the room, and stood on Qi Xiaoye’s left and right with Lin Ke, their expressions solemn.
Qiao Xiao continued, “After not seeing you for a few years, the sense of oppression on Qi Ye’s body is getting stronger and stronger. It seems that the sky in Kenaqin… is about to change soon.”
“You too.”
Qi Xiaoye leaned lazily on the sofa, not even bothering to lift his eyelids, and said lightly:
“After not seeing you for a few years, you’re still such a good-for-nothing. You can’t even take down such a small place as the eastern suburbs.”
Qi Xiaoye was arrogant and arrogant, and usually looked down on everyone, scolding whoever he caught. Qiao Xiao was used to it, shrugged indifferently, and explained to Qi Xiaoye.
“Hey, the sparrow may be small, but it has all the vital organs… Besides our Blackwater Party, there is also a Qingmu Gang eyeing the eastern suburbs, not to mention those small companies waiting to reap the benefits… The water in Kenaqin is very deep!”
After speaking, Qiao Xiao winked at Sasha next to him.
Sasha understood and immediately stood up, twisting her waist and stepping forward, wanting to pour wine for Qi Xiaoye.
“Qi Ye~”
Sasha called out in a pinched voice, but was frightened by Qi Xiaoye’s indifferent and cold eyes before she could get close, and retreated back in embarrassment.
Qi Xiaoye rubbed his eyebrows impatiently.
“Everyone, get out.”
As soon as the words fell, the extravagant and debauched atmosphere in the private room faded a lot at once.
Even the woman on the small stage stopped dancing, holding the steel pipe with one hand and covering her half-exposed breasts with the other, panting lightly as she looked at Qiao Xiao.
Having only seen half of the good pole dance, Qiao Xiao was not very happy and tentatively opened his mouth.
“Qi Ye, you see, this one has only danced halfway, and hasn’t reached the key part yet, I…”
“Then I’ll wait until you’ve seen enough before coming.”
“No, no, no, don’t!!”
Qi Xiaoye pretended to get up, and Qiao Xiao hurriedly stood up first, stopping Qi Xiaoye’s movements while constantly waving to the beauties.
“Get down, get down, all of you get down.”
Then he raised his chin slightly, signaling the leading bodyguard behind him to step forward, bend over and pour a glass of wine for Qi Xiaoye.
Qiao Xiao leaned back on the sofa again and smiled at Qi Xiaoye.
“Qi Ye, don’t be angry. I just wanted to let you relax… If you don’t like it, then we won’t do it.”
Sasha led a group of beauties out of the private room one after another.
When passing by Li Qiqi, seeing Li Qiqi standing there with her head lowered and her eyes obedient, looking completely distracted, as if she had lost her soul.
Sasha was furious and slapped her forehead.
“What are you still standing here for? You have no chance, go!”
“Oh!”
Li Qiqi nodded. Her breathing was stagnant, and she couldn’t wait to escape from here, but as soon as she took a step, Qiao Xiao’s voice suddenly sounded from behind.
“You, that ugly freak!”
Everyone turned their heads at the same time.
Seeing Qiao Xiao staring in her direction, Li Qiqi pointed to the tip of her nose uncertainly.
“Me?”
“Yes, you, ugly freak,” Qiao Xiao repeated unceremoniously, “Go get us a new fruit platter, and hurry up!”
“This, I…”
Li Qiqi opened her mouth with difficulty, and a burst of undisguised mocking laughter came from behind her.
“Pfft, ugly freak…”
“Isn’t that right? She dresses herself up like a pheasant every day. Don’t even mention selling wine, even if she sells herself, it’s not certain that any boss would take a fancy to her.”
“Who said being ugly is useless? Maybe her… skills are good! Hahahaha…”
“Oh my~ look at you! Saying such a blatant truth!”
…
Low and sharp laughter continued to ring out, causing Qi Xiaoye in the private room to turn his face and look over.
The man’s dark and cold eyes made Li Qiqi’s heart stop suddenly.
Worried that she would be seen through by Qi Xiaoye if she hesitated for too long, she didn’t bother to argue with this group of noisy and rude women, and quickly turned around and went forward.
“Yes.”
When she returned to the VIP room, the door was tightly closed.
Li Qiqi covered her chest and took a deep breath, gently knocking on the door.
“Boss, the fruit platter you ordered.”
“Come in.”
Li Qiqi pushed the door open and entered.
“Ah!!!”
A shrill scream pierced her ears, and then a stream of warm, scarlet blood splattered on Li Qiqi’s face.
Li Qiqi’s body shook, and the fruit platter in her hand almost fell because of her trembling hands.
She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses, lowered her eyes, and looked at the center of the private room with a face full of horror—
Qi Xiaoye was squatting on the ground with his back to her, less than two meters away from her.
His right hand was holding a sharp dagger, with drops of bright red blood dripping from the tip of the knife, and his left hand was holding a transparent glass of wine.
The original amber-colored wine in the glass was stained with blood, slowly turning bright red. Li Qiqi could clearly see—
An ear was soaking in the wine!
Disgust, horror… a strong, snake-like, creepy terror surged into Li Qiqi’s heart.
She wanted to vomit, but didn’t dare to, so she could only forcibly suppress it.
A man she had never seen before was kneeling in front of Qi Xiaoye, covering his bleeding right cheek, begging for mercy while constantly kowtowing to Qi Xiaoye.
“Qi Ye! I know I was wrong, Qi Ye! I didn’t dare to eavesdrop! I’ll never dare to eavesdrop again!! Please let me go, I beg you, please let me go…”
Qi Xiaoye curled his lips and smiled, tapping Ma Liu’s face lightly with the wine glass, the wine soaked with the ear and blood sloshing from side to side in the glass.
“Let you go? Easy to say, drink this glass of wine.”
Ma Liu’s already precarious heart was beating wildly, almost exploding. He stared at his ear in the glass, his body uncontrollably starting to tremble wildly.
But he didn’t dare to hesitate at all and took the glass…
Li Qiqi didn’t dare to look at the following scene, her knuckles turning slightly white from excessive force.
She couldn’t stand this kind of stimulation, and turned around tremblingly, wanting to leave.
“Stop!”
Qiao Xiao, who had been watching the excitement on the sofa for a long time, looked up at Li Qiqi and smiled, raising his chin at her.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
