The next day, a gentle rain suddenly started to fall in the entire Jiangzhong City, making the originally cool weather turn somewhat cold.

But even so, short skirts and low-cut tops could still be seen everywhere on the streets…

Today, both the weather and the atmosphere of Jiangzhong City seemed misty and oppressive, as if foreboding the arrival of a storm.

This storm was not just a matter of natural weather; it was also due to external circumstances.

Early this morning, the police received a report that two bodies had been found hundreds of meters away from an already halted construction site in the western suburbs of Jiangzhong City!

After being extensively covered by reporters, this news began to circulate throughout Jiangzhong City.

It quickly became a hot topic of discussion among the people.

And Dongfang Qingyu, who had been waiting for news about Qi Tiansheng, was at a loss the moment he saw this news.

Because one of these people was Qi Tiansheng!

Qi Tiansheng is dead?

Although Dongfang Qingyu had long guessed that Qi Tiansheng was likely in dire straits, seeing this news still sent shockwaves through his heart.

At this moment, it seemed to him that the skies of Jiangzhong City were changing, Qi family's sky was changing, and even Dongfang family's sky was going to change along with it.

A black cloud pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it, the ominous sign of an impending storm enveloped the entire Jiangzhong City completely.

The next moment, once Dongfang Qingyu came to his senses, he hurriedly picked up his phone and dialed Wu Lanqin's number.

The call was quickly connected.

"Is there news about Qi Tiansheng?" Wu Lanqin immediately asked upon answering the phone.

"Dead!" Dongfang Qingyu felt his throat dry, and even uttering two words seemed very mechanical.

"What do you mean, dead?"

At this moment, a bad premonition slowly emerged in Wu Lanqin's heart too.

"Qi Tiansheng is dead, his body has been taken away by the police!" Dongfang Qingyu explained.

With these words, Wu Lanqin on the other end of the phone fell into silence.

Dongfang Qingyu could already foresee what would happen with Qi Tiansheng dead, and Wu Lanqin knew even better.

After a long time, Wu Lanqin let out a heavy breath and said, "Are you sure?"

"Certain!" Dongfang Qingyu said with certainty, "Aunt, what do we do now? If the Qi family finds out, they definitely won't let it go, Qi Tiansheng was the hope of the entire Qi family…"

"What are you panicking for!" Wu Lanqin immediately rebuked, "You weren't the one who killed him!"

Dongfang Qingyu gave a bitter smile; if he had the capability to kill Qi Tiansheng, Wu Lanqin wouldn't be bossing him around right now.

"You stay well in Jiangzhong City, I will inform the Qi family!" Wu Lanqin took a deep breath to calm her somewhat agitated mind: "When the Qi family arrives, blame Ye Xunhuan, say he did it, understand?"

Wu Lanqin knew very well that this matter couldn't be hidden from the Qi family; after all, Qi Tiansheng was too important to them.

The entire Qi family had put their blood, sweat, and tears into Qi Tiansheng, and now that he was killed, Wu Lanqin could imagine that everyone in the Qi family would be enraged, and even the old ones would head to Jiangzhong City.

If they aren't given an explanation, the Qi family definitely won't let it go.

And Wu Lanqin refused to take the blame; she couldn't and wouldn't, so the blame had to fall on Ye Xunhuan!

"Remember, don't say a word you shouldn't!" Wu Lanqin coldly warned, "Or else you know the consequences!"

Dongfang Qingyu shivered violently and quickly said, "Aunt, don't worry, I know what to do!"

"That's good, just wait, I'm guessing once the Qi family hears the news, they'll definitely come to Jiangzhong City by tonight if not this afternoon!" Wu Lanqin heavily said, "Be ready to meet them!"

"Yes, Aunt!"

After hanging up the phone, Dongfang Qingyu let out a long, heavy breath, yet his face was still full of anxiety.

Although Dongfang Qingyu knew that this incident was most likely caused by Ye Xunhuan, without Wu Lanqin, would Qi Tiansheng be dead?

The Qi family isn't stupid, and if Ye Xunhuan refused to admit it, what could they do?

Start a fight?

If they decide to fight, it would be somewhat alright; but if they don't, asking for an explanation from Dongfang family would really spell trouble.

It's not as if Dongfang family could go to war with Ye Xunhuan, right?

Nevertheless, Dongfang Qingyu only knew that once the Qi family arrived, they would definitely seek out Ye Xunhuan.

But what puzzled Dongfang Qingyu was who was the person who died alongside Qi Tiansheng?

At this moment, Dongfang Qingyu did not know Xuan Shuangzi's identity; if he knew, he might be even more uneasy.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Shu also saw this news.

After seeing the news, Dongfang Shu was completely stunned, just like Dongfang Qingyu.

Qi Tiansheng is dead?

Only two days ago, he was alive before her eyes, and today, news came of his demise!

Even though the killing of Qi Tiansheng should be considered a good thing for Dongfang Shu, as it meant she wouldn't have to be his concubine,

She felt no joy inside, only dense anxiety and worry.

Qi Tiansheng's strength was formidable, killing him was no easy task.

Looking across Jiangzhong City, even Zhonghai, those capable of slaying Qi Tiansheng were very few.

And besides, no one would have any past grievance or recent enmity with Qi Tiansheng that would make them kill him for no reason, right?

Then, there is only one possibility!

It was Ye Xunhuan who killed Qi Tiansheng.

Since Qi Tiansheng suspected Dongfang Shu and Ye Xunhuan of having an affair, he had confronted Ye Xunhuan, which ended in heightened tensions and a sour parting.

Someone like Qi Tiansheng surely wouldn't let it go easily, would he?

So, Dongfang Shu believed it was Ye Xunhuan who killed Qi Tiansheng.

The next moment, recovering from her shock, Dongfang Shu hurriedly picked up her phone and dialed Ye Xunhuan's number.

Though Ye Xunhuan is the overlord of the underworld, a Marshal, Qi Tiansheng wasn't weak either; a fight between them would definitely be like two tigers clashing.

Qi Tiansheng is dead; what about Ye Xunhuan?

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello…"

"Little brother, are you okay?" Dongfang Shu asked urgently, her voice tinged with worry.

Ye Xunhuan was startled but then said, "What could be wrong with me, what are you asking this for? Do you wish for something to happen to me?"

"No, it's not that!" Dongfang Shu quickly explained, "It's just I saw the news about Qi Tiansheng's death, so…"

Ye Xunhuan knew Dongfang Shu was smart, even if he didn't say anything, this woman surely had judgment!

Although Dongfang Shu was intelligent, Ye Xunhuan didn't plan to admit anything: "His death has nothing to do with us, right?"
