Chaos ensued that night.
Mo Xi, the young master of the Mo family in G Province, was murdered in a hotpot restaurant. The death of a rich man would at most make the headlines. But if it was related to a celebrity, things would be different.
Not long after Wan Qingsi and Asha arrived at the company, the police arrived.
"Mr. Wan, Miss Mei, we have some questions for you. There was a murder at Fei Lengcui Hotpot Restaurant last night. A waiter said that he saw you interacting with the victim. "
Asha and Xunxun looked at each other. "Who are you talking about?"
One of the young police officers took out a photo and placed it on the table. Asha glanced at it and exclaimed, "Ah, it's him!"
The police officer saw the undisguised disgust in her eyes. "Miss Mei, you know him?"
"Who would know someone like him?" Asha said unhappily. "When I came out of the bathroom yesterday, he tried to grab me under the pretense that he was drunk. But he hit his head on the wall and passed out."
Another older policeman frowned and asked, "And then?"
"And then what?" Wan Qingsi said coldly. "Are you saying that we should help him up or call an ambulance for him?"
Suddenly, Ah Sha blinked her eyes. Her face was filled with surprise as she exclaimed, "He was hit once, and … and he died?"
"No, he was killed with a knife." The police officer didn't dare to look at Wan Qingsi. A twenty-year-old young man with such a strong aura.
Wan Qingsi snorted. "You suspect that we killed him?"
"You were the last to come in contact with him. Not long after you left, he was found dead in the utility room," the police officer explained. "We just want to ask for your assistance in the investigation."
Qi Xiu, who had been standing beside them, received Wan Qingsi's gaze. He looked at the two police officers seriously. "You know that Mei Jing is a public figure. Your suspicions will have a great impact on her. If you have any more questions, you can go to Stars Entertainment's lawyer. If you don't have any evidence, then don't harass Mei Jing anymore. "
The young police officer was a little angry. "We're just doing our job. How is this harassment?"
"It's harassment if you don't have evidence." Wan Qingsi shot him a sideways glance. "Do you two know how much money Stars Entertainment has to spend on PR today?"
Asha smiled at Xunxun. "Sir, the situation is exactly as we've described. We really don't know why he was killed."
The policeman stood up, nodded, and left without any more pleasantries.
As expected, Mei Jing's involvement in the murder case soon began to appear in the newspapers. The funny thing was, although Mei Jing had gone with Xunxun, the newspaper didn't mention Wan Qingsi's name at all. It only mentioned that Mei Jing had been molested by Mo Xi, and that there might have been a dispute between the two of them. The article also insinuated that Mei Jing might have accidentally hurt someone.
"It's so unfair. You were there as well. Why did they attack me?" Asha leaned against Xunxun's chest. The two of them sat by the fireplace and watched a DVD.
Xunxun kissed her. "They wouldn't dare offend me."
"The entertainment industry is so dark," Ah Sha said, grabbing his hand and biting it. "But who killed him?"
A folder appeared in front of her eyes. Asha took it in surprise. "I knew you'd look into it!"
Xunxun looked at Asha lovingly as she studied the folder with her head lowered. When they were young, Asha had seen Boss Wan's subordinates training at the Wan family's base. She had insisted on learning kung fu and becoming a heroine.
They had all thought that the little girl was just doing it for fun. But after that, Asha had to go to the base for training every summer. Naturally, Xunxun would accompany her. The first time Asha saw a dead body, she vomited for three days straight. Xunxun had wanted to kidnap her and bring her home.
"You don't have to face this. I'll protect you from now on."
"Can you be by my side all the time?" At that time, Ah Sha's face was pale, but her eyes were shining as she looked at him. "A family like ours can easily face kidnappings, criminals, and even terrorists. I don't want that day to come when I can't do anything but cry."
At that moment, Xunxun knew that his little girl had grown up.
"This isn't the work of an ordinary person." Asha put down the folder. Xunxun pulled her into his arms. "It's an assassin. I believe the police will get the news soon. I just don't know who the Mo family has offended to hire an assassin."
Asha nuzzled against his chest. "It has nothing to do with us anyway." Then, she suddenly froze and her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Xunxun asked anxiously. His hands touched all over her body. "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Asha pouted. "Aunt Flo is here."
Xunxun helped her apply for two days off because of her period. Early in the morning, Ah Chul delivered a bowl of Auntie Tian soup. He watched Asha finish the soup before heading to work.
Asha turned on her computer when she heard the door close.
"Johns, I need to talk to you." Asha left a message and then lay back on the bed in a daze. She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. Mo Xi had been killed with a single stab to the back of her head. The shape of the wound was definitely not an ordinary one.
If she remembered correctly, there was only one person who would use a weapon like that.
Beep, beep, beep … The computer beeped. Asha quickly answered the call.
"Hey, girl!" Johns's voice came from the other side of the phone.
Asha told him about Mo Xi's situation. After hearing it, Johns said seriously, "Asha, I think you might have been exposed."
"You mean, that person recognized me and killed Mo Xi to provoke me?"
"I'm not sure, but he should be the assassin sent to kill you. He's Bai Qi, the number one assassin in the Assassin Alliance."
Asha rolled her eyes. She guessed right. "He wouldn't need that big shot to kill me, would he?"
Everyone in the underworld knew who Bai Qi was. For the past five years, he had been the number one assassin. Plus, he had a strange temper. If he didn't want to, no amount of money would work. If he didn't like you, he would go to your enemy and ask them to give him one yuan before he killed you.
"You have a point!" Johns was puzzled. "It doesn't matter if he's after you or not. You have to be careful. Don't confront him directly. I'll go check it out."
After ending the call, Asha hugged the quilt and prepared to go to bed. However, Xin Qing called again. Apparently, Xin Qing was worried about her after reading the newspaper. Asha comforted Xin Qing for a long time. It was noon when she finally fell asleep.
She didn't know how long she slept. When Asha woke up, she smelled a delicious aroma.
"Sweetheart?" A familiar voice said beside her ear. Xunxun picked her up.
Asha wrapped her arms around Xunxun's neck. "I'm hungry!" she said with her eyes closed.
"That's why I came back to bring you food!" Xunxun nibbled on her lips. "I'll carry you to wash up."
When Asha finished cleaning up and went to the living room, there were a few thermal lunch boxes on the table.
"Have some porridge first!" Xunxun pulled her to sit down. "Does your stomach hurt?"
Asha took a sip of the piping hot crab porridge. She shook her head happily. "It doesn't hurt!"
Xunxun accompanied her for lunch and helped her put away the DVDs so that she could comfortably nestle on the sofa to watch cartoons. Then, he poured her some black tea and put away some snacks. After that, he kissed her reluctantly for a long time and left for the company.
Watching the man leave, Asha felt warm inside. She felt that she and her mommy were very lucky women to have such a good man who loved and spoiled them. But … mommy was also very good to daddy. Without mommy, daddy would have died a long time ago.
She needed to find a chance to treat Xunxun better in the future! Asha thought to herself. Then, she saw a message pop up on her phone.
"Hello, Poison Lady! I'm Bai Qi. "
… Asha was dazed for a moment. Then, she realized that it was a war invitation.
She quickly picked up her phone. Just as she was about to reply, her eyes darted around. Then, she tossed her phone aside and continued watching cartoons.
Johns was very fast. He had contacted her that night.
"Asha, it's really Bai Qi. He accepted the mission to kill you."
"I already know!" Asha waved her phone. "Do you know why he accepted the mission?"
Johns sounded a little strange when he heard her question. He coughed twice and said, "Do you remember that your first mission was to steal a diamond from a rich man in South Africa?"
"Of course!"
The first mission was always memorable. At that time, the rich man had used despicable means to steal someone's diamond and rape and murder the rich man's wife. So, after Asha stole the diamond, she sprinkled all kinds of medicinal powder in their house.
"At that time, the victim hired a hitman, but he didn't tell us. After you left, the hitman went to the house. In the end, the hitman was killed. However, his body was stained with all kinds of medicinal powder. He was tortured for a few days. "
Asha was enlightened. "Uh, that unlucky hitman can't be …"
"It's Bai Qi," Johns said helplessly. "How unlucky. So, after he found out that the mission was to kill you, he accepted one yuan from the hitman."
Hehe. Asha didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Johns was nagging on the other end of the line. "Why don't I negotiate with the hitman's alliance? Or maybe you can ask your father-in-law to do it? "
"Then they'll know that I'm a bounty hunter," Asha rejected decisively. "I'll deal with it myself!"
"Deal with it yourself?" Johns shouted. "How are you going to deal with it? You can't beat him. "
Ah Sha smiled. "But I can poison him to death!"
When Xunxun came back that night, he saw his little girl still lying on the sofa, watching TV. He went to the bathroom and walked around. Then, he picked her up in his bathrobe. "Take a shower first, then we'll go out for dinner."
"Huh?" Asha wrapped her arms around his neck. "Why are you carrying me in the shower?"
"You're not feeling well. I'll help you."
Before Asha could refuse, her pajamas were taken off. Her exposed skin made her shiver. The bathtub was already filled with water. Xunxun took off his bathrobe and sat in it with Asha in his arms.
A red line emerged from the water like a haze and slowly dispersed.
Asha's face was red. She punched Xunxun a few times. "What are you doing? You're so disgusting. "
"How can your blood be disgusting?" Xunxun reached out to disperse the red line and buried his head in her chest.
