Chapter 904 - Die A Horrible Death (2/2)

Moreover, he had never known that a cold and heartless man like Jun Shiyan, who was always calm and collected at all times, would also get nervous and afraid.

Jun Shiyan had performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) on her over and over again. He kept calling her, but she had no reaction at all.

“You’re the one whose brain was flooded with water,” Ling Sheng frowned. Her voice was tense as she looked at Huo Ci and Jun Shiyan. “Father, Third Master, can both of you leave for a moment? I have something to tell my brother alone.”

Huo Ci gave her an annoyed look, stood up, and left without asking anything.

Jun Shiyan gave Huo Xuanzhou a warning look before leaving as well.

Only Ling Sheng and Huo Xuanzhou were left in the room. The atmosphere was inexplicably heavy.

Huo Xuanzhou, who was standing beside her, was already on alert in his heart. He frowned and looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Ling Sheng did not waste her breath and got straight to the point. “Huo Xuanzhou, does Aunt’s fall into the lake have anything to do with you?”

Huo Xuanzhou had been mentally prepared. However, when he heard her question, his eyes suddenly grew icy and his lips curled up mockingly. “I didn’t do it.”

Ling Sheng looked at him gravely. “You’re wearing a red scarf. The servant said that he saw you pass by General’s residence in the morning.”

Although she had always secretly called him a scumbag, she did not want such a nasty thing to be done by him from the bottom of her heart!

“Ling Sheng, I told you that I didn’t do it! No matter how much of a scumbag I am, it’s beneath me to use such a despicable method to gain a woman’s favor!” Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up in cold ridicule, and his heart sank to the bottom instantly. He said coldly, “The drama of a hero saving a beauty is too outdated.”

So, was he such a shameless and despicable person in her heart? That he was able to do anything without a bottom line?

“I was just asking,” Ling Sheng felt relieved. Her hands, which were under the blanket, gripped the quilt nervously. In a low voice, she said, “Don’t take offense to it.”

She did not know why she was afraid that he had done it, nor did she want it to have anything to do with him!

Huo Xuanzhou’s lips curled up coldly as he growled indignantly, “Ling Sheng, if I really did it, let me die a horrible death!”

What did she take him for? He knew that many things he had done in the past had been quite dastardly, but he had always been very earnest about such things!

Did she suspect him? Did she doubt him? Disappointment and anger filled his heart bit by bit, drowning him in grief. His eyes were red as he enunciated each word clearly, “You’ve never treated me as your older brother, right?!”

It turned out that the only thing he got in exchange for giving his all was her suspicion! Just before this, he had thought that she understood him!

Ling Sheng could clearly see the disappointment, grief and coldness in his eyes. Suddenly, her heart shrank into a tight ball as she looked at him somewhat nervously, and at a loss as she explained, “I know now. You weren’t the one who did it. I’m sorry.”

He had a previous record, and all the evidence pointed to him currently. She hoped that he wasn’t the culprit in her heart, but she still could not help but suspect him.
