Her straight black hairs were messed, her eyes red and lip busted from constant bitting to suppress nerve-wracking sobs.
She was driving insanely in the heavy rain. Her vision was blurry by the constant fall of crystals from her eyes. She harshly wiped them with the back of her hand and kept her shivering hands steady on the steering wheel.
It was midnight. The traffic was bare but still, she was breaking signals after signals on the road.
"You are going to get us killed!" He Zheng shouted to snap her out her stupor but that only elicited another sob from her mouth.
'Killed! Wasn't she killed too? She was the one who protected Su Qing from her own self but now who will care for her? Now, who will dive to save her when she will be drowning? Who will drink bitter with her when her life will be sour? Who will be the shoulder she will fall back on?'
He Zheng looked back to see another car following them in the same insane speed. Yu Jian.
The news of Lei Xinyi spread like wildfire in a field. From an unknown source, the dark web was flooded with Lei Xinyi death news and at once He Zheng saw it. The photos were taken in the dark and the gruesome body was mutilated beyond recognition.
Su Qing was with him when his peers had reached him with the news and went in hysterics at once. Lei Xinyi was the only glue holding her together.
The infamous glory of the entertainment industry was a victim of intense depression. She was attempting suicide the night Lei Xinyi found her by the riverside where Lei Xinyi was drinking.
She saved her then from herself.
But unlike the faint-hearted Su Qing, to He Zheng, it looked suspicious. There were loopholes.
Lei Xinyi head is priced in billions thousand dollars, anybody who killed her would want to take the money or at least step forward to claim the fame but an unknown Id was not making a sense in this. Even an idiot could tell.
Furthermore, suppose it was an act of honour-killing or retaliation, or revenge: The man holding such resentment would definitely want to fawn his accomplishment. Even a psychopath was to leave her head or take snaps of her head before mutilating it.
It is a staged set-up. Someone wants the world to think she is dead and that someone can't be Lei Xinyi. If it was her, the first thing she would have done was to inform him to not worry about her and she had her means.
She was abducted. He needed to help her.
Lei Xinyi had a belly-b.u.t.ton piercing of the size of a seed where there was a tractor made by him that can be only activated by the wearer. It worked by the heat radiated off the wearer body. He could still see it was in function in the system but unless Lei Xinyi didn't activate it, he couldn't track her.
But Su Qing wasn't the one to understand this, neither could he explain that to her.
Yu Jian was following them after her outburst when she had confronted him about Lei Xinyi's ...death.
No word left him. But in such cases, silences spoke louder than words. Silence spoke guilt. Silence vocalised betrayal. Silence shouted confessions.
Su Qing drove insanely by the identification isle, leaving shouts behind. The only reason police weren't chasing them by now was because of the man behind them.
He Zheng ran a hand through his hair, and gritted his teeth, "Su Qing! Stop this insanity! She is f*ckkig alive. We both know that!"
His roar reached the heavens but Su Qing didn't hear him even once. neither her craze did.
In a blinding speed, she drifted the car making a circle with the screeching tyres and hit brakes in front of the place she knew all too well from her childhood.
She got out of the car and rushed to the door when He Zheng caught her by her arm and dragged her behind, "F*cking stop it, will you? It's not worth it! It's dangerous for heaven's sake. I am telling you, I will find Lei Xinyi in a couple of days!"
Su Qing broke free from his hold and was about to knock the life out of the door when it opened. Apparently her grand entrance had caused a commotion.
Su Qianwei came out rushing and cupped Su Qing left cheek tenderly with worry evident on her face, "Su Qing dear, what's wrong? Are you okay?"
Yu Jian applied brake on his car to. Su Qing looked at Su Qianwei with despise and disgust breaking her heart in two.
She slapped her hand away as if it dirtied her and ran inside the gates. He Zheng, Yu Jian and Su Qianwei followed her in abruptly.
Once she was inside, she turned to Su Qianwei with a tear streaming down her delicate beautiful face. She wishererd with hurt evident in her words, "You did it again. Didn't you?"
They both looked like the smaller and bigger modified versions of each other or better said the modified versions of their mother. The only stark difference was Su Qianwei crimson hairs other all differences were faint.
The same phoenix eyes, straight nose and plump lips on a heart-shaped face with high cheekbones. From their hourgla.s.s figure to their melodious voice, they resembled each other. But yet you could tell them apart like parrots from flinches.
Su Qianwei eyes expressed her puzzlement, she looked from her to Yu Jain who was standing beside Su Qing.
She took a calming breath to ease her nerves. After all these years she was seeing her dear little sister and that too in such circ.u.mstances, "I don't really know what you are tal..."
Su Qing humourless laugh cut her words short, and she shouted in hysterics, "You don't know? You don't know what you did to Lei Xinyi just like you didn't know what you did to me?!"
Su Qianwei hands shivered and tried to reach Su Qing by her arm but Su Qing jerked her arm away from her.
"...I didn't do anything." Su Qianwei voice broke.
