Chapter 1305: Qi Heng Dies at the Hands of Liu Min
A Country values literature; even in the poorest of households, the walls would not be left completely bare.
Even if there are no paintings or calligraphy by famous masters, works by ordinary people will do; at the very least, two or three pieces must be hung on the walls.
Of course, there are times when nothing is hung—when there is a funeral in the house!
When someone passes away, the calligraphy and paintings in the living room must be removed.
But if there is a funeral in the house, one would not invite guests to stay over!
Qi Heng had a bad premonition.
"Lawyer Jin, I won't trouble you anymore; I'd better go stay at a hotel." He reacted quickly, turning to leave.
"Don't go. Since you've come, stay here with peace of mind; you have an old friend who wants to see you."
After Lawyer Jin finished speaking, he went out and pulled the door shut behind him.
Qi Heng immediately ran over, wanting to leave as well, but he was a step too slow. When he discovered the door could no longer be pulled open, someone behind him sneered: "Heh, Qi Heng, we finally meet again."
Qi Heng didn't need to turn around to know who the person behind him was.
By the time he turned around, he had already put on a different face, full of smiles and a look of pleasant surprise: "Amin, is it you?"
"It really is you, that's wonderful. You're still alive. You don't know how much I regretted that moment of impulse back then..."
"... Amin, I can finally face my true feelings now; the person I love is you..."
"Shut up!"
Liu Min scolded Qi Heng.
Her face was flushed red; she was furious.
Qi Heng was so shameless; how could she have been so bewitched in the past that she hadn't been able to see it?
He had always used her as a tool; did he want to continue using her as one?
But the Liu Min of today was not the Liu Min of the past; she was unwilling.
"Amin, you don't believe me?"
Qi Heng put on a very hurt expression and slowly walked toward Liu Min.
He walked very slowly, but his brain was spinning rapidly.
The first thought that flashed through his mind was to repeat his old trick: grab Liu Min by the throat to make her lose her ability to fight, then take the opportunity to escape.
But he quickly dismissed this thought!
It wouldn't work.
Liu Min was very skilled; he was no match for her.
The reason he had succeeded last time was, first, because he had been very angry, and his strike had been faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than usual.
Second, it was because of Liu Min's guilt and love for him; she hadn't resisted at all!
If she had resisted at the time, the outcome might not have been certain.
He couldn't use force; this woman responded to softness, not hardness.
Qi Heng wore a mournful face, putting on a look of extreme remorse: "Amin, if you are willing to give me one more chance, come back to the country with me. Once we return, I will marry you immediately, give you a grand wedding, and make you the mother of the nation."
"Bang!"
Liu Min raised her hand, and a bullet struck in front of him, preventing him from advancing.
"Qi Heng, you don't need to waste your breath acting in front of me. I won't harbor any delusions of marrying you either. I have a lover; he treats me very well, and he is my true love."
"Who is he?"
"Amin, you are too naive; don't be deceived by others. Those men don't truly like you. You aren't pretty, and you aren't gentle; men won't like a woman like you..."
His original intention was to make Liu Min listen to him and help him escape this predicament, but he forgot that this was exactly what he had thought back then; the words he used to persuade Liu Min were all his own inner thoughts.
By the time he realized it, it was already too late.
Liu Min sneered: "Heh, you've finally spoken your true thoughts, haven't you? I must have been blind and heartless back then to have liked a treacherous villain like you."
She stopped wasting words, raised her hand, and fired a shot, hitting Qi Heng right between the eyebrows!
He widened his eyes in disbelief and fell straight backward.
Qi Heng was dead, dying with his eyes wide open.
The next morning.
The news that Qi Heng had been killed in A Country shocked the whole world.
The police investigated in detail but did not find any valuable clues!
Who the killer was remained a mystery.
The A Country police provided an explanation: Qi Heng had refused to cooperate with the investigation and had used his political status to pressure them, forcing them to release him.
As for what happened after he left, they did not know.
L Country protested for a day, then went silent.
Mainly because they were too busy.
Those with the power to speak had no time; they were all busy fighting for the power of the next president. Who cared how the current president had died?
Qi Heng, his great ambitions yet to be realized, was buried in a foreign land.
Jiangzhou.
Liu Min and Wang Yong said goodbye to everyone; they were going back.
Although L Country was very chaotic right now, it was home!
A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as one's own dog kennel.
Shi Youxuan took Liu Min's hand and pointed at Wang Yong: "If he ever dares to bully you in the future, tell me, and I will vent your anger for you."
Liu Min married Wang Yong, so by seniority she is a sister-in-law, but she treats Liu Min like a daughter.
She is the same age as her own daughter, and since she has no mother, she might as well be an extra daughter.
"Okay, if he bullies me, I will call you." Liu Min hugged Shi Youxuan and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
During this time in Jiangzhou, the person she is most grateful to is Shi Youxuan.
From Shi Youxuan, she felt a mother's love she had never felt before!
It feels so good to have a mother.
But she is destined never to have a mother in this life, not even a mother-in-law.
Shi Youxuan pulled Liu Min to the side to whisper.
She told her what to pay attention to if she became pregnant, what dietary restrictions there were, and especially that she could no longer wield knives and guns as usual, as it was bad for the child in her belly.
There was also what she might encounter in the circle of ladies and how to resolve it... she gave such detailed instructions that it took too long.
Sheng Hanyu urged: "That's enough, how many things must be said right now? You can talk slowly on WeChat later; if you delay the plane any longer, it won't be able to take off."
"I think you're really getting old, you're becoming more and more naggy." Shi Youxuan glared at her husband, dissatisfied.
Sheng Hanyu was speechless.
She said so much just now, and that isn't called nagging?
He only urged her once, and it became nagging?
Liu Min waved goodbye to Shi Youxuan with great reluctance and boarded the plane.
It was only when the cabin door was about to close that Shi Ran remembered to wave.
Her younger brother Zichen teased: "Sister, are you sleepwalking? Why are you a beat slow in everything you do?"
"Get lost." Shi Ran slapped her brother on the head.
Her brother has grown taller, half a head taller than her, and hitting him isn't as easy as it used to be.
Yun Qitian put his arm around Shi Ran, speaking up for his wife, and said to his brother-in-law: "Your sister is just tired. You all should grow up quickly; once you grow up and take over the Clan business, your sister can be more relaxed."
"Exactly," said Shi Ran.
The couple sang in harmony, successfully steering the topic toward the boys.
Sheng Hanyu and his wife looked at each other; the couple didn't speak, but they knew their daughter's lack of energy wasn't because she was "tired," and certainly not because she hadn't rested well.
Qi Heng is gone, and although it was orchestrated by Shi Ran, it was still a significant blow to her!
People are not animals; they have feelings.
Even if the love had been worn away by one thing after another over time.
She would still feel sad.
