Chapter 89

Guo Danu's face turned pale with anger. His first reaction was disbelief, and he said, "Officers, are you sure you haven't made a mistake? My son is fine, how could he possibly be dead?"

"We haven't made a mistake. The forensic doctor conducted an autopsy, and after comparing the facial features and fingerprints, we have preliminarily confirmed that the deceased is indeed Guo Shaocong. However, we still need you to identify the body for final confirmation."

Hearing the police's words, Guo Danu trembled all over and muttered, "My son can't be dead. You must have made a mistake, you must have made a mistake..."

Bang!

He fainted to the ground.

Half an hour later.

Guo Danu slowly regained consciousness. Opening his eyes, he found himself in a car, with the two police officers sitting beside him.

"Where are we?"

"South Mountain."

Guo Danu immediately sat up straight and asked, "Where is my son?"

"He's just ahead." One of the police officers said, opening the car door.

Guo Danu got out of the car and saw several uniformed officers searching the area. Not far away, on a hillside, a white cloth covering a body caught his attention.

"Son!" Guo Danu shouted and rushed towards the hillside as if driven by desperation.

This was a desolate and rugged area, with uneven ground. Guo Danu, who was used to a life of luxury, had never walked on such a mountain path before and fell several times.

An officer responsible for security was about to stop Guo Danu, but the two police officers behind him gestured for him to let Guo Danu pass.

Guo Danu stumbled to the white cloth, stood still for a moment, then squatted down and slowly extended his hand.

His hand was shaking violently.

Just as his fingertips were about to touch the white cloth, Guo Danu suddenly pulled his hand back and muttered to himself, "No, you must have made a mistake. This absolutely isn't Shaocong, it can't be!"

Rip—

The white cloth was lifted, revealing the face of the deceased.

Instantly, Guo Danu's tears burst forth, and he cried out in grief, "Shaocong—"

Several police officers watched the scene coldly, none of them coming forward to offer comfort. After all, in their line of work, they had seen such scenes far too many times.

Twenty minutes later.

Guo Danu stopped crying, then held Guo Shaocong in his arms, gently caressing his son's deformed face. His lips trembled, and his eyes were red.

A few more minutes passed.

He gently placed Guo Shaocong on the ground, carefully tidied his hair, and then covered his son's face with the white cloth.

He stood up and approached the two police officers who had accompanied him, asking, "Have you found the murderer who killed my son?"

The two police officers exchanged glances, and one of them asked, "Do you think your son was murdered?"

"Isn't that the case?" Guo Danu countered.

"Why do you think so?" the other police officer asked.

"My son was young, with a bright future ahead of him. He was healthy and had a beautiful girlfriend. How could he have committed suicide? So, he must have been murdered." Guo Danu then asked, "How did Shaocong die?"

"We can't tell you, it involves the case..."

"Tell me!" Guo Danu shouted angrily. "I am his father. Don't I have the right to know how he died?"

The two police officers hesitated for a moment, and one of them said, "Deputy Director Guo, I advise you not to know. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."

"My son is already dead. What else can't I handle? Speak!"

The police officer had no choice but to say, "According to the forensic doctor's examination, the deceased, your son Guo Shaocong, died from oxygen deprivation, leading to suffocation."

"Oxygen deprivation?" Guo Danu frowned. "What does that mean?"

"To put it simply, he was buried alive."

"What, buried alive?" Guo Danu's eyes widened, and then he suddenly burst into curses, "Ye Qiu, you bastard, to use such a cruel method to kill my son, I will tear you apart, I will avenge Shaocong..."

"Deputy Director Guo, who is Ye Qiu?"

"Why do you think Ye Qiu is the murderer of Guo Shaocong?"

The two police officers asked simultaneously, staring intently at Guo Danu.

"Because Shaocong stole Ye Qiu's girlfriend, so Ye Qiu wanted to kill him. And a few days ago, Shaocong almost died at Ye Qiu's hands..."

As Guo Danu spoke, the two police officers' faces grew increasingly serious. Based on their years of experience, they had a strong intuition that Ye Qiu was the murderer!

Guo Danu continued, "Officers, Ye Qiu is the murderer. Arrest him quickly, don't let him escape."

"Deputy Director Guo, do you know where Ye Qiu is now?"

"He must be at the hospital. By the way, you should also arrest the head of the surgery department, Bai Bing. She is an accomplice."

...

At the lakeside villa.

Ye Qiu stood outside Lin Jingzhi's bedroom and called out, "Sis Lin, are you done yet? I need to go to work after I change your bandages."

He had been waiting for nearly ten minutes.

"Almost, almost."

Creak—

The door opened.

The first thing that caught Ye Qiu's eye was a pair of long, straight, and firm legs, with not a trace of excess fat, glowing white.

Next, he saw a miniskirt that couldn't be any shorter, and a small, delicate navel.

Lin Jingzhi was wearing a tight white T-shirt that was somewhat see-through, revealing a hint of red, hugging her chest in a perfectly round shape.

Her waist was as slim as a water snake, easily graspable.

Ye Qiu felt a surge of desire in his body, making him feel hot all over.

Lin Jingzhi leaned against the door, giving Ye Qiu a playful glare with her watery eyes and said, "Why the rush? Don't you know it takes a long time for a girl to change clothes?"

"Sis Lin, I'm in a hurry. I need to go back to work later."

"No matter how rushed you are, you should at least let me finish getting dressed, right? Do you like me undressed?"

Yes, I do like you undressed.

Although Ye Qiu thought this, he kept a straight face and said, "Sis Lin, shall I change your bandages?"

Lin Jingzhi didn't speak, just stared at Ye Qiu intently.

Feeling uncomfortable under her gaze, Ye Qiu asked, "Sis Lin, what are you looking at?"

"I feel like you're a bit different from before. Did something good happen to you?" Lin Jingzhi asked curiously.

Ye Qiu chuckled and said, "The Ninth Lord has handed Jiangzhou over to me."

"Oh?" Lin Jingzhi's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise. She then beckoned Ye Qiu closer with a finger.

As soon as Ye Qiu approached, Lin Jingzhi tightly embraced him, and he immediately felt a pressure on his chest.

"Big?" Lin Jingzhi asked with a seductive look.

"Um." Ye Qiu blushed and nodded, adding, "One hand can't hold it."

"You naughty boy, taking advantage of me, hmpf." Lin Jingzhi pouted and ordered Ye Qiu, "Help me to the bed."
