Chapter 18 (1/2)

Vienna, 3 p.m.

The number of pedestrians on the red brick roads were decreasing. Each of them carried a rich coffee or milk tea, ready to spend a leisurely afternoon drinking tea.

The members of the Vienna Symphony Orchestra were no exception.

They walked down a few steps to a cafe across the street in groups of two or three. Generally speaking, these people had good relationships with each other. Of course, there was also one person who walked alone but nobody cared about him, this was Luo Yu Sen.

“These snobbish people. . .”

Luo Yu Sen muttered, a fierce look on his handsome face.

Since Lu Zi Wen’s death, the other orchestra members, intentionally or unintentionally, began to alienate him. Although the autopsy report stated that Lu Zi Wen died from an accidental asthma attack and that it was impossible for a fight to cause it, everyone still had doubts in their hearts.

Some even discussed it in places Luo Yu Sen couldn’t hear, “Lu. . . did the asthma attack really happen after Luo left?”

Such a thing was ultimately unknown.

It was impossible to install a camera in the chief’s lounge, and Lu Zi Wen’s time of death was inaccurate enough. Before he left, Luo Yu Sen had poured the drugged water into the sewer, and the cup was taken away, so there was no evidence at all.

But, evidence was one thing. People’s minds were another matter.

This caused the situation Luo Yu Sen faced today.

“Hey, Luo. Why are you alone?”

Luo Yu Sen turned around and saw a short and fat black man walking down the steps. A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, but soon he laughed and said, “Mr. Thomas, why are you walking so slowly today? I wanted to go for a walk, so I didn’t follow everyone.”

Liar!

No one wanted to go with him.

The stocky man named Thomas shot him a meaningful look. When there was no one around, he suddenly said, “Luo, many days have passed, and it truly is as if nothing happened to you. . .”

Luo Yu Sen’s footsteps suddenly stopped.

The man laughed and added, “Gee, didn’t you say that he had an asthma attack after you left? Haha, I’m just teasing. Don’t mind it, Luo.” He then lowered his voice, “I’ll keep it a secret for you, Luo. Haha!”

After that, Thomas snorted and threw a disgusted look at Luo Yu Sen. He quickly left and followed the other members, leaving Yu Sen standing alone in the same spot. Luo Yu Sen watched the twisting, obese form of his, and the nausea in his eyes was ready to spew out.

“Damn you, Thomas. You actually dare to threaten me. . . If it wasn’t for you. If it wasn’t for you. . .!!!”

Luo Yu Sen’s eyes were red, but he won’t say the last few words. After a while, there wasn’t anyone on the street. Only red maple leaves, drifting and swirling in the air.

Halfway across the globe, the night cover was already very dark, and Huaxia’s B City was approaching midnight. Zheng Wei Qiao was on the road, driving his car. The two people inside were separated from all the noise outside.

“Zheng-Ge, I am sorry to keep you waiting for such a long time today.” Sitting in the passenger’s seat, Qi Mu smiled apologetically and added, “I was surprised when I found you were still waiting for me. Actually, you could have left first.”

Zheng Wei Qiao shook his head, held the steering with one hand and said: “I waited for less than an hour. And Xiao Qi, you need to listen to Tan Lao’s guidance more. He is a seasoned musician, and there are some aspects that he is indeed very accomplished at. His advice and guidance will be helpful for your future development.”

It was obvious that Tan Lao was giving Qi Mu advice during that one hour.

Hearing this, Qi Mu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He then explained, “I went there not to see Tan Lao, but. . .” At this, he paused, and he slightly corrected his expression. Then, a serious look appeared on his beautiful face, “But to see Min Chen.”

“. . .!!!”

Qi Mu distinctively felt the tires slipping!

Fortunately, Wei Qiao’s driving skills were still very good, and he immediately stabilized the car. Just when Qi Mu thought he was calm, Wei Qiao shouted, “Min Chen? That Min Chen? How was it? Didn’t he returned to Berlin?”

The series of questions amused Qi Mu. He nodded and replied one by one: “Yes, Min Chen. That Min Chen. It was good. He didn’t return to Berlin. Zheng-Ge, what you said was true. It was Tan Lao who introduced me to him. Tan Lao really does take care of me. Only him, Du-Ge and I know about this.”

This was also big news for Zheng Wei Qiao, “Let me process this. . .”

After a moment, he couldn’t help but ask, “Xiao Qi. . . you didn’t get the wrong person?”

Qi Mu’s face was blank, “I really, really didn’t get the wrong person, Zheng-Ge.”

“. . .Oh, really. . .”
