Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 72 A difficult case

When I returned home again, Qiao Surong was already waiting in the living room as usual. When I saw the bright lights upstairs while I was still downstairs, my heart warmed. So this is the meaning of home.

As expected, as soon as I opened the door, I fell into Qiao Surong's warm embrace.

"Su Rong, are you busy in the next period of time?"

"Why are you suddenly asking me if I'm busy? Is there anything you need my help with?" Qiao Surong looked at her carefully, not wanting to miss any subtle expression on her face.

"It's nothing, I just hope you can be busier so that you won't have so much time to think about me." Meng Zhiling stuck out her tongue, looking like she was thinking about you a lot.

"What do you mean? Where are you going again?" Qiao Surong pouted unhappily. Even when Meng Zhiling was recuperating from her injury, he still complained that they spent too little time together. Now that she said this, it seemed that she was going on a long journey again. How could he tolerate it?

"The school has an opportunity to go to the London Youth International Cultural Exchange Conference, and I am honored to be selected. You say I am so outstanding, what can I do?" Meng Zhiling looked at Qiao Surong with a troubled look and said innocently.

"Um... okay, how long will it take? When do we go?" Qiao Surong was speechless after hearing Meng Zhiling's explanation.

"Actually, there are still a few days left. It's next Monday. I'm not sure how long I'll be gone. It's not easy for me to go there. I can't come back before I've adjusted to the jet lag." Meng Zhiling said cunningly, not sounding like Qiao Surong at all.

"I see you've finally left me and gone out to have some fun, don't I know you?" Qiao Surong tapped Meng Zhiling's head lovingly, muttering unhappily.

"Hehe, you know this? What should I do? I have to go." Meng Zhiling pouted in grievance. In Qiao Surong's eyes, she was simply tempting him to commit a crime.

He swallowed hard, suppressed his body's restlessness, and glared fiercely, "Don't forget, who is the principal of your school? Although I am not in charge of much, if I want to exchange a place, I can still do it." Qiao Surong's voice was very gentle, but it was also a gentle warning and threat.

"Hmph, you only know how to threaten people. Ever since I met you, you have been threatening people." Meng Zhiling let go and tried to escape from his confinement, as if she was really a little angry.

"Okay, I was just kidding. You can stay as long as you want. At worst, I'll come to pick you up when you get tired of playing. Don't be angry." Qiao Surong took advantage of the situation and pulled hard. Unexpectedly, Meng Zhiling lost her balance under his force, turned her body 180 degrees, and then pounced towards Qiao Surong.

With a thud, both of them rolled on the floor, but Meng Zhiling didn't feel any pain at all because Qiao Surong was supporting her from below. What was even more romantic was that when Meng Zhiling pounced down, whether it was because of Qiao Surong's cleverness or just a coincidence, their lips touched, and just like in many romantic idol dramas, a kiss happened so inadvertently.

Immediately afterwards, the whole house was filled with a sweet and romantic atmosphere that made people unable to stop.

Qiao Surong finally got the chance, so how could he be satisfied with such a light kiss? When Meng Zhiling was about to struggle to stand up, Qiao Surong quickly did a somersault, swapped their positions, and gently pressed Meng Zhiling under him.

Seeing her as nervous as she was the first time, he kissed her lovingly again, "Meng Meng, you must be a demon sent by God to torture me. My mind is full of you all day long, your shy look, your charming look, and your cute pout when you're angry..."

After the kiss, both of them were breathing heavily. Qiao Surong buried his head deeply in Meng Zhiling's neck, speaking sweet words of love in a charming voice that was so alluring that it could kill people.

Meng Zhiling was moved, looking at him with watery eyes, and was at a loss for a moment.

She could only imitate the way he kissed her and gently put her mouth close to him. Who knew that this little initiative of hers would be like sending herself into the "tiger's mouth"? As a result, when she got up the next day and wanted to go to school, it was almost lunchtime.

Half-consciously, I remembered someone had called me just now, but I was too tired and fell asleep again before the phone stopped ringing. This time I woke up completely and picked up the phone. To my surprise, I found that there were more than a dozen missed calls.

And all the calls were from Yuan Yongkai. It seemed that Qiao Surong had left a long time ago, otherwise that stingy guy would definitely not let Yuan Yongkai make so many "harassing" calls to him.

I quickly called back. After all, so many calls definitely couldn't be simple matters. They must be looking for me for something important.

"Yongkai, I'm sorry. I was in class when you called me just now and my phone was on silent." Meng Zhiling lied embarrassedly. She couldn't possibly tell the truth and say that the beast Qiao Surong made her faint last night, right?

That's so embarrassing. Actually, this thing is not embarrassing. What is embarrassing is your physical strength.

"It's okay, I should have thought of it. It's my fault that I was too anxious. Did I disturb you?" Yuan Yongkai smiled, always thinking about others.

"Is there something wrong?" Meng Zhiling asked while changing into her pajamas. If there was really something wrong, she could save a little time and get to the scene as soon as possible.

"Well, I really encountered a little trouble last night. I have no idea who did it. We have discussed this case for a long time, but there is still no progress. So I would like to ask you to come and take a look. Maybe you will know something." Yuan Yongkai is such a proud person. If he really said that he encountered a difficult problem, it must not be as simple as he said. It must be a very tricky matter.

"So do I need to go to the headquarters or somewhere else?" Although Meng Zhiling did not agree directly, her question had already shown her attitude. Anyway, it was already late to go to school today, and as for going to the company, she was not needed now. If she did nothing, she would be a person who could not sit still, so she might as well find something to do.

"I'll send you the coordinates. Just come and meet me later." Yuan Yongkai hung up the phone and sent the current coordinates to Meng Zhiling.

He felt a cold gaze from his left, but didn't pay any attention to it.

"Boss, I see you really trust this Miss Meng. Do you think she is still the same Miss Meng as before?" Leng Yu said coldly, with a resentful look in his eyes. It seemed that he was still brooding over something that happened many years ago.

"Leng Yu, I know she is not the Meng Zhiling of the past, but don't you think the current Meng Zhiling is more courageous and can help us more? Let the past be the past. I know you can't let go of your sister, but how can we let go? But we who are alive have to continue living, right? We have to continue working hard for the responsibilities on our shoulders, right?" Every time he saw Leng Yu's expression like this, the scar in Yuan Yongkai's heart that had healed long ago seemed to be torn open again with blood, and he didn't give himself any anesthetic at all.

"Then you should continue to work hard for your dreams and responsibilities. I don't have as lofty ambitions as you. I only have the hatred and resentment in my heart that I will never let go of." Leng Yu snorted coldly and had no intention of continuing to argue with Yuan Yongkai. So, he used extreme words to block what Yuan Yongkai wanted to say next.

After a while, Meng Zhiling arrived at this high-end club. The club, which should have been full of guests, now did not even have a waiter. It was quiet all around, which seemed a bit mysterious.

Especially since there was a cordon outside the huge club, but there was no policeman standing guard outside, and no ordinary people were watching there. It was conceivable that something bizarre or terrible must have happened here last night, resulting in no one within a radius of 500 miles daring to approach.

"Yongkai, what's wrong? Things look very serious." Meng Zhiling asked when she saw several people wearing black uniforms with a swirling dragon embroidered on their armbands.

"Come with me, Crazy, you and Leng Yu try harder and see if there are any suspicious clues around here that we haven't noticed." As soon as Yuan Yongkai saw Meng Zhiling and felt Leng Yu's hateful eyes again, he quickly separated the two and formed two groups. He led Meng Zhiling to inspect the crime scene again, while Crazy and Leng Yu led the team to search carefully for clues in the surrounding area.

After walking around the hall, they came to the swimming pool behind the hall. The pool had been dyed bright red with blood. Under the sunlight, the red color of the pool actually looked a bit weird and mysterious. Perhaps this was just Meng Zhiling's feeling. If it were an ordinary person, their legs would have been scared weak. Especially the bodies of men lying on the edge of the pool in tight swimming trunks were even more disgusting.

"The deceased, Allen, was the chairman of a multinational corporation. He came to China this time to discuss a cooperation. Next to him was a small local entrepreneur who was discussing cooperation with them. The other three seemed to be the bosses of other companies who were going to participate in their cooperation project. They stayed at the club yesterday afternoon and agreed to discuss business at the swimming pool in the evening. As soon as they entered the pool, they started bleeding from all seven orifices and convulsing all over. When the lifeguards rescued them one by one, they were no longer alive." Yuan Yongkai gave a simple and formal introduction to the case.

It is also because they have no entry point or any clues at all, so even if they want to explain in detail, there is no clue at all.

Meng Zhiling narrowed her eyes slightly and checked from the first corpse to the last one, her brows tightly locked. Her serious look made Yuan Yongkai feel very relieved. After all, such a Meng Zhiling was fascinating and made people unable to take their eyes off her. Fortunately, he met her.
