Rick’s family was a well-respected mafia group, and his parents knew Ian’s family from way back . However, Ian’s methods were so inhumane that his brother stopped working with Ian when he took over the family business .
They were not really friends but they weren’t really enemies either . Strictly saying, they were old acquaintances .
Now that Rick thought about it, he hadn’t seen Ian in seven or eight years .
“I’m here for enjoyment… this is an interesting city . ” Ian smiled evilly .
Xixi looked at Rick’s expression and immediately realized that there was more going on . Therefore, she decided to keep her mouth shut .
Ian suddenly turned his head towards Xixi . Then, he asked Rick . “Are you playing around or for real? I thought you and Luna were engaged . ”

“That’s just a rumor,” Rick replied icily .
“How interesting… how about dinner tonight, old friend? Are you interested?” Ian asked .
“No thanks, I’m not interested . We’re full, actually, enjoy your lunch, we’re going to go now . ” Then, Rick pulled Xixi up and the two of them headed towards the door . He seemed to want to get out of here as quickly as possible .
Rick was in such a hurry to leave and grabbed Xixi’s wrist so hard that it hurt .
“Okay then, that’s too bad… see you around . ” Ian smiled . He calmly watched as Rick and Xixi hurried out of the restaurant .
Rick didn’t realize how tight his grip was until they left . He turned around . “I’m sorry, are you alright?”

“I’m fine, who was that? Who’s Luna? You’re engaged?” Xixi was more confused than ever .
“That’s not important, Xixi, he’s really dangerous… I need to talk to Qin Chu . ” Rick knew that Qin Chu looked into Ian, and he knew that he had close ties to Huo Siqian .
Rick was shocked by Ian’s sudden appearance, and finally, he understood why so many brutal crimes had happened over the last few days .

“It’s fine, I’ll wait . ”
“Would you like coffee or tea?”
“I’m good, thanks . I’ll just have a seat . ”
“Okay then, let me know if you need anything . ” The assistant led Huo Yanyan into Shen Mingxi’s office and then closed the door behind her .
She had been here a couple of times now . Shen Mingxi didn’t try to hide anything from her, and he treated her as if she were his wife . He had been very good to her .
Huo Yanyan had been thinking hard and decided to do what Mo Xue’er proposed . However, she hadn’t been able to contact her – Mo Xue’er wouldn’t pick up her phone nor reply to her WeChat messages .
Where was the medicine Mo Xue’er prepared? Was she supposed to poison Huo Siqian or not?
Huo Yanyan took out her phone and sent Mo Xue’er another WeChat message . “Are you there? I need to talk to you, I’m in . ”
She waited a few minutes but Mo Xue’er didn’t reply .
Huo Yanyan waited anxiously inside Shen Mingxi’s office . Without Mo Xue’er’s help, she couldn’t do anything . She was also worried that Huo Siqian found out what they wanted to do… Could he have killed Mo Xue’er already?
