Chapter 985: Chapter 983

Shot by firing squad.

Qiao Lang tried desperately to keep calm, but upon hearing these two words, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

That was the lover she had once loved, and even now, she still cherished him deeply.

Yet her father told her that he might die.

Qiao Lang knew she was being selfish because she didn’t want Chu Gongyan to die; she wanted him to live.

Seeing his daughter’s reddened eyes, the old master also felt deeply pained. If he had let the young couple be together back then, perhaps things wouldn’t have ended up so terrible.

The old master patted her hand, and Qiao Lang shook her head fiercely: "Dad, I’m fine, I really am."

A father’s heart is linked to his daughter’s, the old master knew exactly what was on his daughter’s mind.

Unable to hold back any longer, Qiao Lang embraced her father’s shoulders and broke down in tears.

——

The small island was inviting, with beautiful scenery.

After what seemed like many days, the yacht finally stopped at a small island.

Qiao Xiaren was blindfolded, and led by someone’s guidance off the yacht.

These people seemed not to intend to remove the blindfold from her eyes, as a woman continued to hold her hand, guiding her toward a certain direction.

"Is it that difficult to take off my blindfold, or is it that you have something so shameful to hide?" Qiao Xiaren remained composed, coldly taunting.

"Shut your mouth, dead woman. We didn’t ask you to speak," the woman who had always been by her side finally spoke in a very unpleasant tone.

In fact, Qiao Xiaren had already felt the woman’s nasty attitude on the yacht; although she had never spoken to her, her actions were extremely rough.

"Flying off the handle?"

Qiao Xiaren chuckled, her serene demeanor making the woman even more displeased. The woman wanted to mock Qiao Xiaren some more but was sternly rebuked by a man with a slightly deep voice next to her: "Huo Yi, be quiet!"

Huo Yi, scolded, felt wronged, but said no more.

Qiao Xiaren didn’t know how far they had walked or how many twists and turns they took, but it seemed they finally entered a villa.

It was quite normal for islands to have villas. Many wealthy people liked to set up villas here, either to keep mistresses or to hide some shameful deeds.

As soon as Qiao Xiaren entered, the woman named Huo Yi removed her blindfold.

The intense light poured in, and Qiao Xiaren squinted involuntarily. After a moment, she looked around and discovered that all the others were gone, leaving only the woman called Huo Yi.

There was a faint scar on Huo Yi’s face, not easily noticeable, which gave her a somewhat fierce look.

Huo Yi, looking at Qiao Xiaren’s face and the white wedding dress she wore, found everything unpleasant to the eye, everything.

"Go take a shower now, and make sure you clean up well!"

Qiao Xiaren glanced at her, feeling as if she was talking about washing pork clean.

"You’re in love with the Young Master of Dark Night," Qiao Xiaren stated, not as a question or a doubt, but as a sure fact, "Pretty face, but still covering my eyes, is this amusing to you?"

"What’s it to you? I warn you, don’t think you can do whatever you want just because you’ve got looks. My gun doesn’t have eyes, and if you piss me off, I’ll end you!"

Having this not-so-secret secret revealed directly, Huo Yi’s anger surged. No wonder Jun always rejected her; so he was interested in this vase-like woman.

"Quite good-looking indeed, but what a temper," Qiao Xiaren reached out to press down Huo Yi’s gun, "The gun isn’t bad, it’s just that your skills aren’t much good."
