179 Parrots and Flinches (1/2)

”Su Qing, calm the f*ck down!” He Zheng shouted at the woman whose face streaked with tears. The Million-dollars contracted actor was nowhere to be seen right now she was a woman griefing her only family.

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-button 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.
