1732: He Is Actually Rather Dashing (2)

He Is Actually Rather Dashing (2)

1The gemstone's buyer had betrayed Traceless.

Hence, this person must have colluded with the police.

Even though he knew that no matter what he said now, Liang Liang would find out that Traceless wasn't dead the moment the buyer got the gemstone, he was compelled to lie.

Because with his affirmation, perhaps Liang Liang would no longer see the need to lure her and track her down. And in turn, this could mean a lucky escape for Traceless.

Although this possibility was small, he was willing to give it a try for the sake of Traceless' safety.

There was an immediate silence the moment Liang Liang heard his answer. Then he burst out laughing.

He hung his head and sobbed as he said, "Don't think I'm a loser. Clearly, I hate her, but when I heard about her death, I was beside myself with grief."

Lu Nanze felt nothing at all as he listened to the other man.

Who else could he blame if he couldn't even protect the woman he loved?

Lu Nanze merely let out a sarcastic laugh.

He said indifferently, "Uh huh, and?"

"Do you know where she's buried?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe she's still alive?"

"It's possible. After all, my sources are not that reliable."

Liang Liang's heart sank upon hearing that sarcastic remark.

Lu Nanze's sources had always been faster and more accurate than the police's.

There was no reason for the man to lie to him, was there?

At this thought, Liang Liang downed another drink and asked, "When are you coming? You said you were coming here to drink with me. Didn't you say you'd come after your shower? Are you thinking of abandoning our brotherhood for the sake of a woman?"

Brotherhood?

He, Lu Nanze, certainly did not need such a loser as a brother.

He snorted icily and replied, "Alright, I'll go now."

He hung up. However, instead of driving to the bar, he drove home instead.

If Liang Liang was feeling sad, then what about Traceless? Wasn't she feeling sad too?

What was the point of feeling sad? Wasn't he the one who had schemed to capture Traceless in the first place?

Feeling sad now that something had happened to Traceless was just shedding crocodile tears!

A person like Liang Liang, it would serve him right to die from drinking.

That would save Traceless from all her heartaches.

The more Lu Nanze thought about this, the angrier the man became.

Qiao Yiyi got into bed after returning home. The waves of pain in her abdomen were extremely uncomfortable.

Lying back in bed, she stared at the ceiling with her hands on her stomach.

The pain was making it impossible for her to sleep.

Tomorrow was the day that she had to give the gemstone to her client. In this condition, there was no way she could safely deliver the item and then make a getaway.

She cast her gaze down. As she contemplated her action plan, she heard the sound of an approaching car, which meant that Lu Nanze must be home.

She focused on the movements downstairs. After a moment, she heard his footsteps going up the stairs.

Then he entered his bedroom and there was silence afterwards.

She twitched her lips.

What a strange man he was.

He would give Traceless a glass of sweetened water, but he wouldn't do that for his own wife?!

That was just…

As she thought about this, she fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, she was suddenly woken up by a loud knocking on the villa's main door.

Bam! Bam! Bam! It woke everyone in the villa up.
