…
Dawn has broken~ Awoo~
…
“Brother, drink some water.”
Li Qiulan sat by the bed, handing the water cup in his hand to Shen Tangqing.
Shen Tangqing stared fixedly at Li Qiulan’s exquisite yet hypocritical face. The disgust erupting in his eyes almost solidified into substance.
He swung his hand violently to push him away.
A crisp sound came from his wrist—
“Get out!”
Crash—
The water cup in Li Qiulan’s hand crashed to the floor.
Glass fragments splashed all over the floor.
He seemed unaware of the scattered water spots splashing onto his pant legs.
He lowered his eyes, long lashes covering the emotions in them.
His gaze landed slowly on the pile of glass shards.
A few seconds later, he slowly bent down.
“Hiss…”
His fingertip was cut by a glass shard. Blood flowed down through the gap between his fingers, dripping onto Li Qiulan’s solid-colored pajamas, blooming a flower of rotten red.
He raised his hand to look at Shen Tangqing, speaking with a wronged expression.
“Brother, my hand is hurt, it hurts…”
When he raised his eyes, they held just the right amount of grievance.
But Shen Tangqing only felt physiologically nauseous.
“Get out!”
The grievance on Li Qiulan’s face froze instantly.
The next second, he withdrew the disguise on his face, revealing the gloom in his eyes.
“Brother is so heartless…”
He dragged out his tone, but his gaze moved from Shen Tangqing’s tightly pursed lips…
Inch by inch downwards…
Finally landing on the red marks on his collarbone…
His eye color deepened.
His Adam’s apple rolled unconsciously.
It wasn’t until the sticky feeling came from his finger pad that he frowned and withdrew his gaze—
Even his own blood, he found dirty.
“Brother, you must be hungry… I’ll go get breakfast.”
Shen Tangqing ignored him.
He simply turned over, leaving Li Qiulan only a cold back.
Li Qiulan’s face sank.
His originally beautiful brows were full of gloom.
Brother really is… very disobedient!
The sound of the wheelchair faded away.
Only then did Shen Tangqing sit up from the bed.
After a night, his body still had no strength.
He tugged at the chain on his hand. Unknown material, looking thin but extremely strong, with several small bells hanging on it.
A crisp sound rang out with a shake. Truly sick!
trapped here by Li Qiulan, he could only hope the teacher would notice his absence and contact Shen Huayan, thereby letting her know he was missing…
Shen Tangqing scratched his head irritably, cursing Li Qiulan a bloody storm in his heart again.
What a lunatic!
Soon, Li Qiulan came in carrying a portion of breakfast.
His gaze landed on Shen Tangqing, smiling obediently at him.
“Brother, time for breakfast.”
Shen Tangqing looked at him coldly.
“Li Qiulan, before anyone finds out, I advise you to let me go.”
After placing the tray in his hand on the table, Li Qiulan looked at Shen Tangqing with a smile, speaking to himself.
“Will Brother come over to eat by yourself, or should I bring it to the bed for you?”
The chain was very long, enough for Shen Tangqing to move freely in this room.
Shen Tangqing: …
“I told you to let me go.”
The smile on Li Qiulan’s face suddenly vanished.
He looked at Shen Tangqing and spoke word by word, “Brother, you aren’t going anywhere.”
Finished speaking, he lowered his eyes, his gaze landing on his injured finger pad.
It wasn’t bleeding anymore. A scab had formed on the wound. Looking at it—a bit disgusting…
“Guess what the headline news is today, Brother?”
Li Qiulan’s fingertips unconsciously rubbed the scab, as if talking about an insignificant matter.
Shen Tangqing suddenly remembered Li Qiulan’s words from last night, and a faint bad premonition rose in his heart.
“What is it?”
“Young Master Shen Tangqing of the Jiang family was drag racing at Moon Bay last night and unfortunately fell off the cliff to his death.”
Shen Tangqing sneered. “My mom and the others won’t believe it.”
Li Qiulan raised his eyes to look at Shen Tangqing, his expression somewhat inexplicable.
“Brother, you are too naive. In the face of absolute evidence, they have to believe.”
“Absolute evidence?” Shen Tangqing’s fingers gripped the bedsheet tightly, knuckles turning white. “You think forging a scene can be flawless?”
Li Qiulan didn’t rush to refute. He just methodically took out his phone from his pocket.
The moment the screen lit up, a video came into Shen Tangqing’s view—
The person in the video was wearing a jacket exactly like the one he wore last night, wearing the same cap, driving the sports car Jiang Qingyan gave him. The engine roared as it rushed toward the cliff edge of Moon Bay.
At the end of the footage, only the empty guardrail and scattered car fragments remained. The camera even specifically swept over the turbulent waves at the bottom of the cliff, as if someone had truly fallen into the abyss, car and all.
“This is the body double I found. His figure and habits mimic yours ninety percent.”
Li Qiulan put the phone back in his pocket, his tone light as if chatting about the weather.
He looked at Shen Tangqing. “Brother died so tragically! Not even a corpse remains…”
Shen Tangqing’s heart sank heavily, a chill rushing from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
“You’re crazy!” Shen Tangqing’s voice carried uncontrollable trembling. “Faking death, tampering with evidence, aren’t you afraid the police will find out?”
“Afraid?” Li Qiulan laughed low. He reached out wanting to touch Shen Tangqing’s cheek but was dodged by the other turning his head sharply.
He didn’t get angry either, just withdrew his hand and laughed low.
“Brother, I said it before. Making a person disappear silently in Jing City is very simple for me. Even if the Jiang family is behind you, it won’t work.
Besides, the Jiang family is currently bidding for a big project. If news breaks that you drag-raced, lost control, and fell off a cliff, the stock price will only fall again and again.
Do you think they will choose to pursue a meaningless truth, or accept this ‘decent’ ending?”
Shen Tangqing’s face paled for a moment.
“You planned this long ago?”
Li Qiulan revealed an obedient smile.
“So, Brother, stop thinking about leaving me. From the first time I saw you, you were destined to be mine—alive, or ‘dead’.”
Shen Tangqing looked at him with hatred.
“You lunatic? Even if you lock me up here, I can’t possibly like you…”
Li Qiulan’s expression turned cold.
A moment later, the corner of his lip hooked into a smile that wasn’t a smile, his eye tails tilting up slightly.
His voice was soft and low.
“Brother, if you say one more sentence I don’t like to hear, I’m going to kiss you.”
Shen Tangqing silently shut his mouth.
A wise man doesn’t fight when the odds are against him!
The person in front of him was truly capable of doing such a thing.
Unknown what he thought of, Shen Tangqing’s expression froze for a moment.
He glared at Li Qiulan, his cheeks uncontrollably flushing with a thin red of annoyance.
The smile on Li Qiulan’s lips deepened, his beautiful eyes full of dense laughter.
“I lied to you. When Brother isn’t speaking, I want to kiss even more.”
Shen Tangqing: …
His mind was full of ‘I’m going to beat this idiot to death today.’
But alas, his body really had no strength. That bit of force landing on Li Qiulan was like scratching an itch.
It looked more like playing hard to get.
Shen Tangqing was so angry his eyes turned red.
In the end, he only gritted his teeth and spat out a sentence.
“You are truly shameless.”
“As long as I have Brother, that’s enough. Face and such, how can it be as important as Brother?”
Li Qiulan spoke self-righteously, not feeling anything wrong with these words at all.
Shen Tangqing: …
He had truly never seen such a brazen person.
