She wanted to run, but there was nowhere she could run to .
Her only choice was to walk in, despite her reluctance .
While her heart was in her mouth, Sheng Yize was completely at ease . He even pulled her chair out for her politely when they got to their table .
A person’s state of mind was all that mattered when it came to an unavoidable confrontation with one’s adversary .
Li Fanxing had already lost .
The two of them were the only customers in the restaurant . Apparently, Sheng Yize had rented out the entire place for the day .
The muted lights shone warmly, the pianist was playing a beautiful piece, and there were fresh white and red roses on the table .
Everything looked so perfect .
However, despite the delicious food on the table, Li Fanxing didn’t dare take off her mask . She stole a glance at Sheng Yize; he was cutting the steak unhurriedly, and looked as graceful as some noble gentleman out of a movie .
Sensing her gaze, Sheng Yize smiled and pushed the plate of steak he had cut to Li Fanxing . “Enjoy . ”
The corner of Li Fanxing’s mouth twitched . “Thank you . ”
A couple of minutes later, Li Fanxing tried to find an excuse to leave . “I don’t feel so well… May I go now…”
Sheng Yize asked politely, “Shall I get a doctor for you, then?”
Li Fanxing’s heart sank . She finally realized that Sheng Yize wasn’t going to let her leave!
“Why am I here, Mr . Sheng?” Li Fanxing tried her best to keep calm .
“Why, I just want to have a little chat . ” Sheng Yize smiled, looking rather relaxed . When Li Fanxing anxiously broke into a cold sweat, Sheng Yize said suddenly, “I was going to propose to Xiaxia in this restaurant . ”
“Is that so? That’s very romantic . ” Li Fanxing smiled insincerely . Sheng Yize crossed his long legs and the look on his face turned grim .
“Tell me, where did you take her?” Sheng Yize began to interrogate her .
Li Fanxing clenched her fists . “Mr . Sheng, I see that your wife is missing . But why are you asking me? Do you think I have something to do with it?”
Sheng Yize smiled coldly . “Is she dead or alive?”
“I don’t know where she is!” Li Fanxing yelled in agitation .
“Really?” Sheng Yize lowered his gaze, his eyelashes so long that they would make any woman jealous . “Miss Li, I’ve been treating you with due respect so far, but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything to you . I’m only showing you courtesy because of Qi Yanxi . If you won’t talk, I’ll have to make you talk in my own way, then . ”
At those words, a few men appeared from the shadows . All of them were holding guns, which they aimed at Li Fanxing in unison!
Li Fanxing felt the blood rush to her head and her voice trembled . “I really don’t know where she is…”
Sheng Yize wasn’t vexed . He only picked up a silver knife from the table with elegant movements .
“You killed Song Shi, didn’t you?” said Sheng Yize unhurriedly . “He died from a single stab wound . I bet he never guessed he would be killed by a woman one day . ”
Frivolous and unrestrained, Song Shi was what one would call a philanderer, and it was that kind of behavior that had gotten him killed in the end .
Li Fanxing obviously wouldn’t admit it and shook her head repeatedly . “It wasn’t me! Sheng Yize, you’ve been misled!”
He went on in his deep mellow voice . “You lured Li Canxing into the cold storage, locked the door from the outside, and let her freeze to death there . After that, you faked her suicide note, making the police think that she had killed herself . ”
Li Fanxing was going to explain when Sheng Yize smiled .
That smile reminded her of a sky lit up by fireworks . There was nothing to compare it to .
“Li Jiang knew all about that, didn’t he? Or he wouldn’t be acting like a madman now, spending all his days drinking .
“By the way, I heard a very interesting rumor before coming here… I was told that you and Li Jiang have been sharing a bed since you turned 18 . ”
