Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 144: Chapter 137: The Killer Appears

Zhan Qipei looked down at Qiao Jing and smiled, “You really do understand me.”

Qiao Jing frowned, “So you did this on purpose just to lure out the person behind Lan Yinyin?”

“Yes.”

“Aren’t you afraid that the assassin sent this time will be even more formidable than the last? Aren’t you scared of losing your life in Autumn Water Village?” Qiao Jing didn’t quite agree with Zhan Qipei risking himself like this.

If it were her, she would have directly dealt with Lan Yinyin, and as for the people behind her, she would handle them one by one.

This might be related to personal character and upbringing. As the president of Zhan Corporation, Zhan Qipei was used to setting and solving traps, while she was more straightforward.

As long as it didn’t bother her, it was fine. But if it did, a beating followed by a trip to the police station was in order.

While Qiao Jing was deep in thought, the man’s deep voice suddenly sounded next to her ear.

“How do you know the last assassin was very formidable? Did you fight with them?”

The slight raise of Qiao Jing’s eyebrows was almost imperceptible; she could tell the man was deliberately testing her.

It was best not to respond.

Seeing that Qiao Jing wasn’t speaking, Zhan Qipei didn’t feel bored at all.

If she wouldn’t speak, then he was content just quietly watching her.

Several hours later, the two arrived at Autumn Water Village.

The first thing Qiao Jing did upon returning to Autumn Water Village was to buy some spirit money and go to Grandpa Zhang’s grave.

“Grandpa, I’m here to see you. Did you miss me?”

While burning the spirit money, Qiao Jing spoke to the grave.

Zhan Qipei knelt down close to Qiao Jing, picked some spirit money, and burned it in the fire basin.

Qiao Jing glanced sideways at Zhan Qipei, wondering why he had to be so close to her while he burned the paper.

Turning his head, Zhan Qipei caught Qiao Jing looking at him, and the meaning in her eyes was clear.
