Upon hearing his words, Luo Zheng’s face turned pale and she thought about how severe a murder sentence would be. Her heart sank.

Seeing this, Bo Hancheng stepped forward and shielded Luo Zheng. Staring at Chu Ci coldly, he barked, “The problem lies with you!”

The man who got killed was probably one of Scarface’s spies who were sent to be Chu Ci’s subordinate… That was because Chu Ci failed to discipline his subordinates, thus allowing Scarface to take advantage!

Chu Ci’s expression was sullen but he did not retort. “Third Brother, I didn’t expect that such a thing would happen!”

Indeed, he was to be blamed for this and Luo Zheng was not at fault… He simply said those words because he felt that Bo Hancheng was placing too much concern on Luo Zheng.

If Bo Hancheng were to be involved in a murder case, he might risk having his identity exposed!

Others would definitely get the wrong idea when they found out about the British presidential candidate appearing in Beijing and getting himself involved in such a matter.

Hence, he had to find a way to suppress it!

However, at this moment, Luo Zheng suddenly stepped forward to take a look at the man who was lying on the ground. While she was feeling afraid, there was determination in her eyes!

“Summon a car to take her to the hospital for a full body checkup.” Bo Hancheng glanced at her slender figure and sent out such orders.

Chu Ci looked a little puzzled and scanned Luo Zheng from head to toe. “Which part of Miss Luo is injured?”

Due to the fact that Chu Ci rushed there in a hurry, he did not hear the details of what happened.

Hence, he had no idea that Luo Zheng was drugged with the poison and hence decided to nitpick on her because he was already biased against her in the first place.

“She took the blue poison for me and the poison has already entered her system. We must think of a way for her to kick the addiction…”

As Bo Hancheng said those words, Chu Ci glanced at Luo Zheng with shock written all over his face. He stopped feeling prejudiced and immediately ordered his subordinate to do so accordingly.

After that, Bo Hancheng stepped forward and asked Luo Zheng from behind, “Little imp, can you still hang in there?”

Luo Zheng was just thinking about something when she heard Bo Hancheng’s question. She turned around slowly and met his eyes.

As usual, he had an icy cold gaze which was full of worry!

“Brother Cheng, you killed him for me, right?” Luo Zheng asked surprisingly.

Bo Hancheng remained silent while Chu Ci answered, “Of course. Third Brother has always been sensible and conscientious! If it weren’t because of you, he wouldn’t have killed that man. Who would want to be involved in a murder?”

Chu Ci spoke in a mellower tone than usual, on the account that Luo Zheng was loyal and approached Scarface because of Bo Hancheng, and even took the poison on his behalf.

Besides, he could tell that Bo Hancheng was obviously interested in Luo Zheng.

Although he said that on purpose, he just wanted Luo Zheng to feel guilty and further prevent her from betraying Bo Hancheng!

Ah, he really is “kindhearted”, isn’t he?

“Chu Ci, have you got too much time on your hands?” Bo Hancheng glared at him with gloomy eyes.

What a sellout! Chu Ci criticized in his heart but he dared not say it out loud.

He then watched Bo Hancheng’s face grow warmer as he comforted her, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Me killing him… has nothing to do with you!”

Somehow, Chu Ci felt bitter, as if he had been ignored! He was truly feeling the sorrow of being a singleton!

Luo Zheng’s face turned sullen and seemed to be thinking about something.

She then kept her eyes fixed on Bo Hancheng’s bloodstained hand… Most importantly, he was still holding onto the weapon that he used to kill, the army dagger!

No one expected Luo Zheng to suddenly grab the dagger.

Bo Hancheng used to be a soldier and hence had quick reflexes and sharp senses. When Luo Zheng extended her hand, he obviously felt it… However, he did not know what she wanted to do and loosened his grip on the dagger, for fear that he would cut her.

Luo Zheng successfully obtained the dagger and her pale hand was stained by the blood on it!
