Chapter 784: 791 Unfolding Secret Life3_1
Zhou Ziqing was the one who slowly helped Qin Muchuan into the room. He was extremely emotional, his hands were twitching uncontrollably, permanently held aloft in a tense state with tightly clenched fingers.
His hair was disheveled, his chin hirsute with a layer of stubble. He sat silently in the sofa, as if he had suffered a great shock.
Zhou Ziqing felt his reaction was genuine, he really seemed to have actually murdered someone.
She had seen quite a few people who had just killed someone. For a lengthy period of time, they would be in a similar state.
However... why did he suddenly kill them? He had been genuinely good to Lin Xiangwan before, and to the two children, he had no reason to kill them.
But he also had no reason to lie to her, right? She didn’t ask him to kill them either.
"Why? Why did you do this? I don’t understand!" Zhou Ziqing slowly sat next to him, holding him as she asked.
Qin Muchuan leaned into her like a startled child. "I don’t even know why I did it, I was just so angry at the time, I took them away, she kept struggling, I kept driving faster and faster, and then I don’t know where I had driven to? I saw a mountain, so I drove up there..."
When he got to this point, Qin Muchuan paused. He shut his eyes tightly, as if not wanting to face everything. "She kept provoking me, she said she was going to ruin me, and ruin you... She insisted that she would bring me down from my position as Chairman ... she said she would make everyone know I had changed, she was going to report me..."
"Report you for what?" Zhou Ziqing asked calmly.
She did this, hoping through various expressions and analyzing his language, to determine if he had lied at all.
Qin Muchuan once again buried his face in his palms, breathing heavily in pain. "..."
"Speak up, what did she want to report you for?" Zhou Ziqing asked again.
"Can I not say it?" Qin Muchuan pleaded weakly.
Zhou Ziqing gently stroked his back, softly persuading him. "Chuanchuan, I just want to help you, you have to believe me!"
"I really don’t want to talk about it!"
"If you don’t talk about it, you’ll continue to be in pain. I promise you, once you say it, you’ll feel much better!"
Qin Muchuan clutched her clothes tightly in emotional agitation. "She said she was going to expose my bribery, the officials I bought off... and she was also going to report me for drug trafficking... I can’t lose my reputation, I can’t go to jail, I can’t give up everything, otherwise how could my grandparents accept this? They’ve lived a lifetime of honor, they can’t endure this hardship late in their lives..."
He was no longer capable of finishing his words.
"So you did ’that’ to her..." Zhou Ziqing didn’t finish her sentence.
"I had no other choice... I really had no other choice!" Qin Muchuan sobbed uncontrollably.
"And the two children? You also did ’that’ to the two children?" Zhou Ziqing couldn’t quite believe that Qin Muchuan could also harm the children. The two children were so adorable and smart. He always liked them a lot. How could he?
Qin Muchuan shook his head. "No, the children were mine, I really couldn’t bring myself to harm them!"
Zhou Ziqing was still quite disappointed in her heart. Why did he have to leave the two children? He should have gotten rid of them too.
That way, no one would contest anything with her anymore!
"Where are they now then? Where did you send them?"
"I had the children placed with a family!"
"Which family did you place them with?"
Qin Muchuan’s agony was apparent, his eyes were red-rimmed. "Can you please stop asking anymore? Please let me be at peace!"
Zhou Ziqing thought it over. "Okay, then you rest!"
She gave him a kiss, then left the room.
Once she left, Qin Muchuan’s expression turned calm...
*************
Zhou Ziqing did not fully trust Qin Muchuan’s words. Returning to her room, she immediately reported the situation to her superior, Hong Yi, over the phone.
Hong Yi immediately dispatched people to search for Lin Xiangwan’s body.
But with so few clues to work with, finding the body could be likened to a needle in a haystack.
However, for the sake of caution, they still had to search, no matter how vast the area was.
Zhou Ziqing went on to gather more evidence. In his emotionally low state, Qin Muchuan revealed a location to her.
They found a woman’s corpse following this lead, but her face was brutally mutilated beyond recognition.
But this alone was enough to convince Zhou Ziqing and Hong Yi that Qin Muchuan had actually committed the crime.
"Hong Yi, I believe Qin Muchuan is truly one of us now. I think we can continue to explore new profitable ventures together!" Zhou Ziqing kept on praising Qin Muchuan, hoping to get Hong Yi to trust him.
Hong Yi analyzed the situation carefully. "From what we have observed, Qin Muchuan appears to be committed to our cause. However... I am still somewhat skeptical. After all, how could a proper businessman like him become so easily manipulated by us?"
"That’s understandable, isn’t it? Qin Muchuan went through a financial crisis and was on the verge of losing his position as Chairman. Now, while the crisis has been averted, he still lacks funds. He’s used to living large, and with less money, he naturally feels constrained. Plus, he’s already working for us, and I have evidence of his criminal activities. The matter of the female corpse, I’ve recorded it all, these are direct evidence, so there’s no way he would defy us, right!"
Hong Yi considered carefully. "Okay, but before we get into larger deals, I want to meet with Qin Muchuan!"
"Of course. We should definitely show our sincerity!" Zhou Ziqing agreed emphatically.
She had also mistakenly joined this organization once. She used to help in drug trafficking due to her inconspicuous identity.
She made good money at that time, but escaping the organization proved difficult.
Up to now, she has not been able to escape, so if she doesn’t want to be bullied within the organization, she can only pull Qin Muchuan in. She didn’t believe she couldn’t deal with this woman, Hong Yi.
"Alright, you arrange it, I will meet with Qin Muchuan!"
"Okay!"
*************
Soon, Qin Muchuan received a long-awaited message. The leader finally wanted to meet him.
Qin Muchuan appeared nonchalant. "You’re saying that this Hong Yi wants to meet me?"
Zhou Ziqing nodded vigorously. "Yes, Hong Yi said, she’s looking forward to grander collaboration with you!"
"What sort of collaboration?"
"She plans to conquer the Asian market with you. What do you think?" Zhou Ziqing asked.
Qin Muchuan furrowed his brows. "You mean Master the entire Asian market? How is that so easy? Do you think this is America?"
"Exactly, conquering the Asian market is not easy. But there’s a lot of people here. As long as we get started, this will become the most profitable place!" Zhou Ziqing said with ambition.
