Beiming Han also understood Bai Jingqing’s concerns, fearing she couldn’t handle it.

After all, she was just a frail woman.

"I don’t..."

"Be good, Ye Qi, take the young lady back." Beiming Han’s attitude was firm.

"But... I’m scared." Gu Qingxin was indeed very frightened.

"Let Ye Qi accompany you." Beiming Han gave Ye Qi a look.

Ye Qi immediately walked over and said, "Miss, please."

Although Gu Qingxin wanted to know more, she understood that everyone was doing this for her own good. An Xiaonuan suddenly stood up and said, "I’ll accompany her back to the room."

"Alright, you go ahead and you two keep each other company, don’t be afraid." Huangfu Ye patted her hand.

"Okay."

Ye Qi escorted An Xiaonuan and Gu Qingxin upstairs.

As soon as Gu Qingxin entered the elevator, she almost fell and her face looked terrible. An Xiaonuan and Ye Qi quickly supported her and asked nervously, "How do you feel?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Gu Qingxin shook her head and closed her eyes painfully. Only now did she feel the fragility of life; within just over a year, many people had left.

An Xiaonuan supported Gu Qingxin walking ahead, while Ye Qi trailed a step behind, his gaze complex as he looked at her, deep pain and reluctance in his dark eyes.

Back in the room, An Xiaonuan went to get a towel, intending to wipe her face.

Gu Qingxin sat on the sofa looking distressed, sniffed, and looked up at Ye Qi asking, "Ye Qi, tell me, is all this true? I don’t believe it, I can’t dare to believe it."

"Miss, please accept my condolences," Ye Qi said solemnly.

"How can I mourn? Aunt Zhou was such a good person, how could anyone be so heartless? Who on earth is so cruel!" Gu Qingxin’s tears fell uncontrollably.

"..."

"If I find out who the murderer is, I will never let that murderer go, never! They must pay with their life for Aunt Zhou." Gu Qingxin’s hands clenched into fists.

"Qingxin, don’t get worked up, you are expecting, you must think of your health." An Xiaonuan came out and wiped the tears from her face with a towel.

"Mr. Ye, could you get her a cup of warm water, I don’t know where to get it." An Xiaonuan said.

"Okay, I’ll go right away, you stay with the young lady first." Ye Qi turned and left, and after stepping outside, his chest heaved twice, and his lips turned pale.

"Xiao Nuan, you don’t know, Aunt Zhou really was a particularly, particularly good person." Gu Qingxin felt very uncomfortable, not knowing whom else she could talk to about this.

"I know, I’ve met her, she’s very nice." An Xiaonuan hugged her, trying to offer her some comfort.

...

Downstairs.

Bai Jingqing had brought some of Aunt Zhou’s photos. The images were a bit gruesome, so he worried that Gu Qingxin might feel uncomfortable seeing them, hence he had her rest first.

Lan Liehuo watched as Ye Yingsu closely examined the photos, almost like she wanted to use a magnifying glass. He felt a bit helpless; among women, only she could be this bold.

"Really, who on earth did this, so heinous, to even lay hands on an elder!" Ye Yingsu also went to the scene, but the killer was too cunning, leaving no trace!

It’s really exasperating!

"Big brother, what do you think? Any suspects?" Bai Jingqing asked Beiming Han.

Beiming Han looked up from the photos, shook his head, also at a loss for any leads. Nobody would suspect the people around them, especially those they see every day.
