A light purple sports car was parked outside the airport. The woman leaning against the car was wearing a white hollow long skirt with a light purple knitted jacket on the outside.

Her thick long curly hair was tied into a low bun with a simple hairpin, making her look gentle and beautiful.

A young, beautiful and elegant girl is leaning against the cool sports car, a sight that is hard to look away from.

Qiao Ruyi sorted out the knitted jacket she had deliberately found today. When she was a child, she often wore light purple clothes, so that Aunt Chen would notice her as soon as she left the airport.

However, it had been forty minutes since Aunt Chen got off the plane, and she still hadn't seen the person she was waiting for.

I dialed a number on my cell phone, but it didn't go through.

Little did they know that the phone that had been dialed had fallen onto the deserted loess and was ringing again and again.

Not far from the phone was a corpse covered in blood.

......

The white sports car sped all the way and drove into the Qiao Mansion.

The person in the driver's seat was pale and his eyes were filled with uncontrollable fear.

There were still traces of blood on her hands that were holding the steering wheel, and she couldn't wipe it off no matter how hard she tried.

Quickly unbuckling her seatbelt, she swung the car door and stumbled up the stairs.

"As you wish?"

Seeing that her expression was not right, Li Ling looked at her hurried back in confusion and followed her upstairs.

I pushed open her bedroom door and heard the sound of running water in the bathroom.

"As you wish? What's wrong with you?"

Li Ling stood at the bathroom door and saw Qiao Ruyuan washing his hands vigorously at the sink.

The blood on those hands had dried, and after being dipped in water, the water in the basin was clearly red.

"!!!"

Li Ling covered her mouth in surprise, and it took her a long time to react, "What happened to you!"

When Qiao Ruyuan heard Li Ling's voice, the expression on her face slowly changed from horror to fear and grievance. She turned her head, her eyes filled with tears.

"Mom...I killed someone..."

Li Ling looked at her in disbelief, thinking she had misheard, but when she saw red bloodstains dotted on her light pink Chanel-style dress, she suddenly understood.

"You killed Chen Juan?"

"Mom!" Qiao Ruyuan held Li Ling's hand as if she were grabbing a lifeline. "I didn't mean to do that. She discovered our secret! She was going to call Qiao Ruyi and I accidentally hit her. I didn't expect... I didn't expect her to die like this..."

The more Qiao Ruyuan spoke, the more frightened she became. Her face turned pale and she couldn't stop crying.

Li Ling recovered from her shock and stared into Qiao Ruyuan's terrified eyes. "Ruyuan, Mom wants to ask you, besides you and Chen Juan, was there a third person at the scene?"

Qiao Ruyuan stared blankly and thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head in panic, "No, that place is very desolate. I drove the car there on purpose. I originally just wanted to threaten her to get out of Beijing and never come back. I didn't expect that she was so determined to go see Qiao Ruyi..."

"Mom!" She clutched Li Ling's sleeve tightly and cried loudly, "What should I do? I've killed someone. What should I do? I don't want to go to jail. I don't want to be arrested. Please find a solution, Mom!"

She grabbed Li Ling and cried breathlessly. Li Ling looked at her daughter who was almost kneeling in front of her, and she calmed down and began to think of a solution.

She only has this one daughter, who suffered so much with her when they were young. She cannot send her daughter to jail with her own hands.

Her daughter cannot go to jail!

"As you wish." Li Ling looked at her, staring at her seriously. "You must keep this matter to yourself and tell no one. Remember, you didn't go out and see Chen Juan today."

"That's not right," she corrected him, "You've never seen Chen Juan in the fourteen years since she left."

Qiao Ruyuan nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes, "Okay, I have never met Chen Juan."

Li Ling's eyes fell on the clothes on her body again. "Go take a shower quickly and cut these clothes into pieces and get rid of them. Don't cry after the shower. Don't show any sign of being wrong. Even if Chen Juan's name is mentioned, you have to pretend not to know."

"Okay! I'll go take a shower now!"

Knowing that Li Ling had come up with a solution, Qiao Ruyuan's complexion finally recovered a little and he hurried into the bathroom to take a shower.

Before leaving, Li Ling reminded him again, "Ruyuan, remember, nothing happened today."

Qiao nodded repeatedly as he wished and closed the bathroom door.

The sound of running water came from the bathroom again.

At the bedroom door, where the sunlight shines in, a small figure is reflected.

He lowered his eyes, his expression calm, and held a car building block tightly in his hand.

Hearing the sound of the bathroom door closing, he turned and walked away from the door with light steps.

The person in the bedroom paced back and forth hesitantly, a cell phone clutched tightly in his hand.

A few minutes later, she picked up her phone and made a call.

As soon as the call was connected, an impatient man's voice came from the other end of the line, "Didn't I tell you not to disturb me if there's nothing wrong?"

Hearing his voice, Li Ling's face turned a little ugly. "It's okay, I won't bother you, but there's something important going on, and you have to help me."

After Li Ling explained her needs, the man's tone became even more impatient. "I've been pretending to be a grandson for the past few years and my life has finally gotten a little quieter. And you're doing this to me again?"

Li Ling said in a calm voice, "No one can do this except you."

The man asked disdainfully, "Why, Qiao He doesn't care? Can he watch his daughter go to jail?"

"Old Qiao can't know about this!" Seeing that he was reluctant to agree, Li Ling said angrily, "I only have this one daughter. If you don't help me, and our affair gets out, no one will have a good life!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then he said in an unhappy tone, "Okay, okay, I'll take care of it, but remember this, don't call me if you have nothing to do in the future!"

The man hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking, without any hesitation.

Li Ling looked at the hung up phone in her hand. Although she looked unhappy, she finally felt relieved.

She knew that as long as he was willing to help, this matter could be turned around and everything would be fine as she wished.

......

There is a constant flow of cars and people outside the airport.

Two hours have passed, but the person I was waiting for still hasn't shown up.

After making several calls but no one answered, Qiao Ruyi couldn't help but feel worried.

I don’t know if it’s because the temperature is a little high or because I’m wearing too many clothes, but beads of sweat appeared on my forehead and I felt very uncomfortable.

When she made her next call, it was picked up in less than two seconds.

"Aunt Chen! Where are you now? I've been waiting for you outside the airport for a long time, why haven't you come out yet?"

She asked the other party anxiously, but a calm male voice came from the other end.

"Hello, I'm Chen Hao, captain of the Second Detachment of the Beihuai District Public Security Bureau in Beijing. Are you the victim's daughter?"

"Victim?" Qiao Ruyi was dazed, holding the phone. "What victim?"

"We received a call from the police in the northern suburbs and found a female body..."

Qiao Ruyi could no longer hear what was said afterwards.

Her ears were buzzing and her mind went blank for a moment.
