Chapter 100 Dark Sky

◎The third◎

If Shi Hanqiao had to choose early in the morning, he would definitely continue sleeping.

But at eight o'clock, she still arrived at Covia's house with Luo Wusheng.

The death was similar to the old man of the Bai family. His heart was hollowed out, and the blood from the hollow was used as material to draw a pattern of a circle surrounding a five-star on the ground.

The old female Alpha lies in the shape of a "big" in the pattern, with her head and limbs corresponding to the five corners of the five stars.

The deceased had long since handed over power and lived a retired life, practicing Tai Chi in his own manor every morning to stretch his muscles.

According to the test, the time of death was 7:00 in the morning. The servant who was cleaning the yard came out and found the deceased at around 7:10.

When Shi Hanqiao and Luo Wusheng arrived, there were already quite a few white flowers in the flower baskets in the front hall.

The Kovia family was not like the Bai family. They blocked all news out of consideration for the deceased's reputation. Even the work of moving the body and changing clothes was done by the Bai brother and sister.

Also, because the grandmother of the Kovia family had died in the garden, the news would have leaked out even if they had blocked it.

After placing the white flowers, the two went to the scene. The body had been taken away, but the bloodstain pattern had not been dealt with. However, in order to protect the scene, the Covia family set up a cordon.

Outside the cordon, I met an acquaintance - Huo Ran.

Shi Hanqiao's attention was focused on the old man beside Huo Ran, who stared motionlessly at the pattern on the ground. Although his eyes betrayed no emotion, his slightly trembling hand and lingering gaze caught Woman A's attention.

She and Luo Wusheng looked at each other and saw some common doubts in each other's eyes.

"Mr. Huo."

Ignoring Huo Ran's glare, the young man walked to the other side of the old man and took the initiative to greet him.

Old Master Huo turned around as if awakening from a dream and returned the greeting, "Grand Prince."

"What is Mr. Huo looking at?" Luo Wusheng asked.

Huo Ran disliked Luo Wusheng very much because of Ander and Liesen, and seeing Shi Hanqiao standing next to him, who made him lose face, and there were not many people around, he didn't want to pretend at all.

"Blind? Isn't that the symbol of the Russell family?"

"Ran'er, don't be rude!"

Old Master Huo scolded his grandson, then turned to the young man and said, "Ran'er has a straightforward personality. I hope Your Highness will forgive me."

Shi Hanqiao sneered: "You said he has a straightforward personality, so why should I forgive him?"

If the young man does not forgive, it means he is narrow-minded; if he forgives, it means he has a deep character.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are you playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio here?

Huo Ran was furious, pointing at Woman A and cursing, "Shi Hanqiao, do you have the right to speak here?!"

"Just because I don't have the right to speak, you have the right to speak? Just now your grandfather told you not to be rude. If you do it again in front of the elders, I believe the Huo family's family education is still very strict. Then the problem lies only with you."

Shi Hanqiao spoke in a normal voice. The second half of the sentence was about Huo Ran, but he was looking at Old Man Huo.

It seems to be saying that the Huo family has strict family education and Huo Ran’s problem is his own, but in fact it is saying that the Huo family is not upright at the top and the bottom is crooked.

"Ran'er, apologize!"

Old Master Huo said sternly, leaning on his cane.

"No need. There's no right or wrong in hating someone."

Luo Wusheng has always adhered to the principle of less trouble is worse than more, but girl A took the initiative to defend him.

He was too lazy to maintain a superficial relationship, so he exchanged a few polite words and left with Woman A.

He respectfully called him "Mr. Huo" which was considered as giving him face.

The Huo family, affiliated with the Black family, has been gradually marginalized in recent years.

Therefore, the Huo family has been in contact with Shiqi in recent years.

On the returning starship, Luo Wusheng frowned and said:

“Although Huo Ran is on Ander’s side, he is only a junior after all. There are too many uncertainties, and he cannot represent the entire Huo family.

My relationship with the Huo family isn't usually good, but it's not hostile either. Mr. Huo has always been low-key and cautious, never leaving anything to chance in his words or actions, but today his words hinted at a hint of hostility towards me.

Besides, since you are here too, the Huo family wants to invest in Shi Qi, so they should at least give you some face. His attitude today is too strange."

"He wasn't targeting you. He was just in a bad mood and kept staring at the pattern."

Shi Hanqiao lazily slumped on the sofa, pulled the young man to sit on his lap, and leaned his head on his shoulder.

She is used to the human routine and is very grumpy when she wakes up.

"When we left, he hadn't left yet, and before we left, he looked like he had been staring at the pattern for a long time."

A circle enclosing a five-star, the symbol of the Russell family.

More precisely, it is a royal symbol.

"The Bai family concealed the truth about Mr. Bai's death, and the Kovia family has already found Tan'an." The young man turned off the screen.

"Are you not worried about the Russell family at all?"

Shi Hanqiao was no longer sleepy. He took out the memory card reader and put on the instrument to check the downloaded content.

"Why should I worry about them, spend so much time trying to solve their problems, and then watch them choose Ander as their successor?"

Luo Wusheng had no intention of gaining recognition from within Russell from the beginning. All the major families had followed the unspoken rule that the Alpha would inherit the position of the head of the family.

Why should he use the power he has developed to please the Russell family and make wedding clothes for others?

"To put it bluntly, both Weixier and Luo Wusheng were named by my mother. Luo is also Luo Ningyou's Luo, not the Luo of the Luo family."

Luo Wusheng belongs neither to the Russell family nor to the Luo family.

He really has no one to rely on and no way out.

So, he could only move forward.

The young man tightened his arms around his waist, lowered his eyes, and rested his head on the shoulders of Woman A.

He is not alone either.

"It's just a prelude to the storm, using the older generations of the four major families as a target. It's quite interesting."

Although it sounded interesting, Woman A's voice was lazy.

"Right now, the Bai family is using illness as an excuse, but with two people dying in such a short period of time, especially after seeing the Russell family logo, many people will have many speculations. And there might be one, two, or even three or four."

"Are you sure you don't want to remind the old man of the Luo family?"

"Didn't you also say they would have guesses?"

The young man remained silent. "The higher the position, the more people will be watching. If they realize they can't protect themselves, they will have no choice but to give up the position."

"Reality is so cruel."

"Why should I be a villain?"

Regardless of whether there will be a third death or not, and regardless of whether the other party’s target is the older generation of the four major families.

Even if Luo Wusheng was truly worried and reminded Old Man Luo, given their current relationship, the other party might not appreciate his kindness, but instead would think that he was cursing him.

The family affection that was originally caused by Luo Ningyou's death is insignificant in the face of interests and the Luo family.

Once you die, you are dead, and there is no benefit to be gained.

"Rest for a while. I didn't sleep well last night."

Shi Hanqiao and his men fell onto the large sofa and patted the young man's shoulder.

Luo Wusheng's emotions slowly dissipated due to the comfort of Female A, and he actually fell asleep again.

In the afternoon, in the room.

The young men each handled their own affairs, and Woman A used her enormous mental power to scan the contents of the memory within three hours.

She took off her reading glasses and pinched her brow.

She casually put her arm around the young man's waist, and seeing that he hadn't finished yet, she reached out and pulled him into her arms based on his posture, and put her arms around his waist and abdomen from behind.

Shi Hanqiao rested his head on the young man's shoulder, digesting the huge amount of information.

Glancing at the time on the screen, she said, "Let's go to the Royal Library tomorrow."

"good."

With woman A by his side, he handles things very efficiently and will never neglect serious matters in order to be with her.

Knock knock knock——

The knocks on the door were rhythmic.

Luo Wusheng pulled on girl A's sleeve, and the chain around her waist slowly loosened.

Shi Hanqiao, who was half asleep, took advantage of him standing up and leaned back on the armrest of the sofa, his gaze bypassing the obstruction and still wrapped around the young man like a chain.

When Bai Shuiyang saw that it was Luo Wusheng who opened the door, there was a moment of disappointment in his eyes, and his gaze passed over him and fell on woman A in the room.

He nervously leaned against the door and invited, "I've prepared dinner, and your robot's dinner is ready too. Do you want to eat together?"

The young man looked back at woman A, but she didn't react.

After thinking about it, he nodded and accepted the invitation.

The drunkard's real intention was not to drink, he turned around to call girl A, but found that she was already standing behind him.

During dinner, Bai Shuiyang kept trying to get closer to Shi Hanqiao. The latter was cold but did not refuse him forcefully.

Therefore, the meal was spent quite warmly with the two female A's being indifferent and the two male O's communicating with each other in a friendly manner.

Half past six.

"We're going for a walk, do you want to come?"

Bai Shuiyang tried to invite his daughter to join in family activities. When he and Shi Qi were together, they would go out for a walk after dinner to help digest the food.

It doesn’t matter where they go. What matters is that during this time they will share what they encountered during the day, even if it is a trivial matter, they will share it with their loved ones if they find it interesting.

"No."

Shi Hanqiao just wanted to go back to her room and lie down with the young man in her arms.

The two of them stick together all day long, never doing anything alone, but they can still chat.

The young man did not avoid female A when handling matters. He would occasionally tell her about interesting topics, and Luo Wusheng would also ask her when she was designing mecha drawings.

Although the way of getting along is different, the way of answering every question and sharing everything is the same.

7:30.

Shi Hanqiao leaned back on the sofa with her eyes closed, pretending to be asleep. Luo Wusheng leaned in her arms, with an arm around her waist that did not belong to him.

drop--

drop--

With the previous experience in the morning as a lesson, the young man specially set up a silent vibration reminder method.

Two messages.

One was a reminder for people to enter the house. Woman A gave him all the authority in the building.

This was the reminder that Shi Qi and Bai Shuiyang were coming back from their walk.

He clicked on the second message, which came from the intelligence network.

His originally relaxed expression instantly darkened.

"What's wrong?"

Woman A immediately noticed that he was in a bad mood and saw the message on the screen when she opened her eyes.

[The Luo family issued an obituary, Grandpa Luo has passed away.]

Three pictures of the scene are attached below.

The cause of death was the same as that of Mr. Bai and the grandmother of the Covia family.

The two of them went together to deliver the white flowers and followed Luo Wuming to an empty corner.

He briefly described what happened at the Luo family tonight.

"Both the Luo and Black families were heavily guarded tonight, but because the Black family caught fire forty-five minutes ago, the old man withdrew his immediate surroundings. It was my uncle who was concerned when he saw the bodyguards coming down, so he sent someone upstairs to check on the old man, only to find him dead in his bedroom."

"Right now, my uncle is having a secret conversation with the Patriarch of the Kevia family." Luo Wuming glanced at Shi Hanqiao and continued, "Before I came out, I heard that the Patriarch of the Bai family was visiting."
