Chapter 2334: Wei Qin Silenced by Murder

However, Wei Qin couldn’t control her heart’s desire, she couldn’t stop wanting to know the truth.

After the guest had left, she subtly asked the boss’s daughter who that guest was.

But the boss’s daughter didn’t know him at all; she only said it might be a friend of her big brother.

Wei Qin didn’t dare to ask further; the friend of the boss’s young master is a murderer. Then, what kind of person is the boss’s young master?

Fortunately, since that day, she hadn’t seen that guest again, as if the matter had blown over.

Until a few days ago, that guest came again.

Wei Qin didn’t want to focus her attention on him, but she couldn’t control herself.

She even did something that almost cost her life—she eavesdropped.

She wanted to know what they were conspiring about; this was the closest she had gotten to the truth of the Song Family massacre case. If she missed it, she might never find out who the real murderer is.

"Then what did you hear?" Meng Yunzheng asked.

Wei Qin gave a bitter smile, "They were speaking very softly; at first, I couldn’t hear anything. The less I heard, the closer I leaned in, and I didn’t even understand what they were saying when suddenly that guest angrily said, ’They’ve been roaming the county town for two days, when are they going to meet that Qi guy?’ That was all I got, nothing else."

孟允峥, Shu Yu, Zhao Xi, the three of them, "..."

Could this ’They’ve been roaming the county town’ be referring to them?

So the guest sought out the boss’s young master again after two months because they came but didn’t connect with Qi Lie?

"What happened next?"

Wei Qin said, "They suddenly said that sentence, and I was startled, accidentally hitting the window frame with my hand. It seemed like they heard it, so I quickly ran away. The boss’s young master came out to check the door; I thought I ran fast enough that he shouldn’t have seen me, but who would’ve known..."

Who would’ve known that in the daytime, the boss’s young master would say nothing and show no trace of action.

But at night, the boss’s young master suddenly and silently entered her room, covered her mouth, intending to kill her to silence her.

If it weren’t for the hardships Wei Qin had endured in a wealthy merchant’s home a few years ago, causing her to develop a habit of sleeping lightly, she might really have met her end there.

At that time, when people sleep the most deeply, the young master thought she was sound asleep, yet Wei Qin was already half-awake.

So when her mouth was suddenly covered, she abruptly woke up.

When the young master attempted to slide his knife across her neck, she instantly started to resist.

The young master seemed unprepared for her to be awake; his first attempt failed, and Wei Qin’s hands were already blocking her neck, making it impossible to cut her neck. He immediately tried to stab her stomach instead.

Wei Qin didn’t avoid the second strike and was directly stabbed.

But the stab wasn’t fatal; she immediately swung her hand, knocking over a small copper incense burner in the room.

The copper burner fell to the ground, making a clattering sound. At that moment, the boss’s daughter called from the doorway, "Sister Song Juan, what the hell are you up to? Are you stealing in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

The voice was right outside, and there was a faint sound on the door as if someone was about to push it open.

The young master was alarmed, afraid she would come inside, without a word, he stabbed Wei Qin again and then directly climbed out of the window he came from, heading to the front door to intercept the boss’s daughter who intended to push the door.

"Little sister, why aren’t you sleeping in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"
