I smiled modestly and said, "It's just luck. But you've become more beautiful after not seeing you for a year."
"Are you hinting at something to me?" Ning Xue said with a smile.
"...I guess so!" I was a little embarrassed.
After a while, Ning Xue asked me, "By the way, why did you come to Jiaxing?"
"I came to Jiaxing to find you!" I stated my purpose directly.
"Looking for me?" Ning Xue frowned.
I nodded and said, "Do you remember the message you sent me a year ago? You said you assassinated Chairman Luo and stole the Suihou Ghost Pearl. You also said you were looking forward to the day we meet again..."
Ning Xue smiled, her delicate lips revealing a captivating fragrance. She said slowly, "We met much earlier than I expected, and I never expected it to be this way."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, this way of meeting someone who almost cut off their family lineage... is so special!"
Ning Xue's beautiful eyes smiled, but she asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
I got straight to the point and said, "Oh, I came to you to borrow the Suihou Ghost Pearl. I know it's with you."
"The Suihou Ghost Pearl?" Ning Xue hesitated, her beautiful eyes narrowed, and she shook her head. "After I stole the pearl that day, I gave it to my superiors. It's not with me. After all, my main mission when I appeared in Jiangzhou and infiltrated the Luo Group was to kill Luo Qingguo and take the ancient Suihou Ghost Pearl away."
"Who did you give it to?" I asked without thinking.
Ning Xue bit her red lips and said with a bad look on her face, "He's a guy with a weird temper!"
From her tone, it can be heard that she doesn't seem to have a good feeling towards that person.
Anyway, it seems like I was happy for nothing!
After a while, Ning Xue added, "If you need it, I'll take you to find him after I finish my work here, but I'm not sure if I can get it!"
I nodded. For now, I can only take it one step at a time.
"Oh right!" I almost forgot something. I took out the red rose. When Ning Xue saw it, she frowned and said, "You are..."
I placed the black box on the table again. When no one was watching, I gently opened the lid. After seeing what was inside, Ning Xue's eyes widened even more. She said in surprise, "Shouldn't my friend Hongyi have given this thing to me? How did it end up in your hands?"
I closed the lid and smiled, "Your friend is dead. His death was tragic, not much worse than when Huo Yan manipulated the ghost pupa to devour his scalp and brain."
"Hongyi is dead?" Ning Xue's face suddenly turned gloomy.
I knew she must be in great pain at the moment, after all, I had experienced the same pain of losing a friend, so I waited patiently for her.
To my surprise, within ten seconds, Ning Xue suddenly regained her usual energetic and capable self. She smiled and asked me, "How did she die? Where is the body? Have you called the police?"
I explained the details to her and added, "The body is currently in Jiaxing city. She didn't tell me how she died, but judging by the appearance of her body, someone dug out her face. I've also called the police, but I don't think they'll find anything."
Ning Xue nodded and said, "Hong Yi is my childhood friend. We were like sisters. She was also a killer like me. However, I feel guilty about something I never had the chance to tell her. Now she died so suddenly... Xu Fei, I have a request that I need your help with!"
"I will definitely help you as long as it is within my ability!" I agreed without hesitation.
Su Xiaoniu muttered unhappily: "Again..."
I ignored her. Ning Xue said, "I want to see Hong Yi and say goodbye to her."
"That's easy." I nodded slightly and prepared to return to the hotel in the city with Ning Xue. It had only been a few hours since Hong Yi's death, and her body hadn't been cremated yet, so it was natural that her ghost was still wandering around the city.
However, just as I got into Ning Xue's car and was about to head downtown, I saw a man in a suit quietly walk by the entrance to Xitang Ancient Town. My eyesight was excellent; I couldn't be mistaken. This man, dressed in a black suit-like tuxedo, was the same man who had walked out of the red-dressed man's room early that morning, clutching a brown wallet. When I entered, the man in red, who was showering in the bathroom, had already had his face ripped off.
No matter from which angle you look at it, the death of the man in red is related to the man in the suit.
I immediately asked Ning Xue to turn around and follow the man in the suit.
