346: The Dilemma of the Bloody Rose

The ring!

Seeing this thing and recalling how much Lin Xuan cared about this straw ring, Xia Qingxue's jealousy burned fiercely.

"You said you'd bless us? You actually kept this ring!"

As she spoke, Xia Qingxue reached out directly towards the ring on the ground.

"Don't!" Gu Bing covered the ring with her hand first.

"This is how you have no feelings for Lin Xuan?!" Upon noticing Gu Bing's attitude, the already sensitive Xia Qingxue went crazy: "Give me the ring!"

"This is mine," Gu Bing stubbornly said.

"No, it's mine!" Xia Qingxue wanted to push Gu Bing away but found she couldn't move her at all.

One had to know, this woman had undergone so many tortures, she shouldn't have had any strength left to resist!

But for the sake of this ring, she resisted Xia Qingxue's strength.

It was as if the ring on the ground was her everything!

This made Xia Qingxue even more insanely jealous: "Give me the ring! When you pushed Lin Xuan to me, everything between you and him is mine!"

"It's mine!"

As she spoke, Xia Qingxue fiercely stepped on Gu Bing's hand.

Again and again.

Gu Bing bit her silver teeth tightly, resisting silently.

Finally.

Human strength has its limits.

Her bloody hands released their grip, and Gu Bing fainted directly.

Looking at the blood-stained straw ring on the ground, Xia Qingxue quickly grabbed it.

She held it up to her eyes to examine it, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.

"The ring is with me, the ring I wove for Lin Xuan, the one who accompanied Lin Xuan at the bottom of the cliff for seven days was me, his wife is me."

Muttering to herself, Xia Qingxue walked out of the basement step by step.

After Xia Qingxue left.

In the basement.

Gu Bing opened her eyes, a hint of mockery in them.

How ridiculous, Lin Xuan was just a tool, and this woman was fighting over him so fiercely.

It was hard for him, with a man's Soul, to perform such a disgusting act.

But all of this was about to end.

Looking at the System panel in front of her.

Everything that happened between her and Xia Qingxue when they were alone in the basement had been recorded by the video recorder.

...

"How was it? Did you get anything out?"

On the villa sofa, Lin Xuan sat cross-legged, experiencing the various powers brought by his bloodline, when he saw Xia Qingxue coming out of the basement.

"Not yet," Xia Qingxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled sweetly at Lin Xuan.

"Oh, you, I can handle this kind of thing, don't worry your head about it."

Lin Xuan smiled dotingly. He had expected Xia Qingxue wouldn't get anything out.

"I was wrong before, Uncle Xia is right, marriage is between the two of us, and since that straw ring is lost, so be it."

"I'll take you to pick out a wedding ring."

Lin Xuan's words filled Xia Qingxue's heart with happiness.

Indeed, compared to that ring, what Lin Xuan cared about more was her as a person.

However, Xia Qingxue didn't realize that what Lin Xuan cared about was the 'Xia Qingxue' who had accompanied him at the bottom of the cliff for seven days.

He didn't want to hurt the heart of the more important 'Xia Qingxue' because of that important straw ring.

"Lin Xuan, I think I remember where the ring fell," Xia Qingxue said softly with a hint of a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Hmm? You remembered? Where?!"

Lin Xuan, who had been calm, immediately became agitated upon hearing this.

This reaction made Xia Qingxue's expression slightly stiff.

Indeed, this man still cared deeply about that ring.

"It seems it fell in the room, I'll go get it for you," Xia Qingxue said, walking straight into her room.

She closed the door.

Standing behind the door, Xia Qingxue took the straw ring out of her pocket.

Looking at the bloodstains from Gu Bing on it, Xia Qingxue frowned and wiped it a few times.

However, the blood had already seeped into it, and the bloodstains soaked into the straw likely wouldn't wash out, let alone be wiped away.

"Xia Qingxue, did you find it? Do you need me to help you?"

Outside the door, Lin Xuan's anxious voice came in.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Qingxue's voice was as cheerful as possible: "I found it!"

"I really found it!"

In the living room.

Lin Xuan looked at the ring Xia Qingxue took out, a moved smile appearing on his face.

"I knew it, Xia Qingxue, you wouldn't treat this ring as nothing."

"It's just... why is there blood on it?"

Lin Xuan pointed at the bloodstains on the ring, slightly puzzled.

"This, this was when I was at the bottom of the cliff, I got scratched and touched it."

Xia Qingxue fabricated a story.

Lin Xuan didn't doubt this small lie at all.

Instead, he felt guilty: "It's my fault for not taking good care of you. Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you in the future."

"Then... do we still need to pick out new wedding rings?"

Xia Qingxue suddenly asked Lin Xuan.

Facing this question, Lin Xuan said dotingly: "Whatever you want, but I think this wedding ring should be more suitable for our wedding."

"That represents our most precious time."

"Let's still go pick out other wedding rings," Xia Qingxue felt a bit uncomfortable.

She didn't want to wear this ring as a wedding ring.

"Is that so..." A hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes, Lin Xuan adjusted his mindset: "It's fine, whatever you say."

...

That night.

The cold wind howled, and waves crashed against the shore.

On the dark pier, a woman in a leather jacket, wearing a hood and with long, curly burgundy hair, arrived cautiously.

The woman was Blood Rose.

Originally, she should have fled Mo Hai City when she pushed Lin Xuan and Xia Qingxue off the cliff.

However, whether it was fate or just bad luck, when she drove back to her hideout, she coincidentally hit and killed someone directly!

Given her identity, she naturally couldn't turn herself in to the Police.

Otherwise, it was highly likely that her identity as a killer would be discovered.

Because of this troublesome matter, she couldn't even use her previous Teacher identity anymore.

She could only embark on a path of hiding and seeking opportunities to leave Mo Hai City.

Fortunately, she still had channels to contact the outside world.

A ship would be coming tonight, and this was her only chance to leave Mo Hai City recently.

Logically speaking, it should be around this time.

It's just, why hasn't the ship arrived yet?

Looking at the dark sea, Blood Rose felt uneasy.

She glanced at the building next to her and cautiously hid inside.

Not long after.

More than a dozen men in black gathered at the pier under Blood Rose's cold gaze.

"Where is she? Didn't the message say she would come tonight?"

"Did she come early?"

"The Chairman gave a death order; she must be caught tonight!"

The gathered people were talking in a flurry.

Blood Rose, hidden in the Darkness nearby, scanned these people with her eyes and also grew suspicious.

These people were not Police.

Chairman?

People sent by a certain company?

In an instant, Blood Rose's eyes narrowed.

There were only a handful of entities in Mo Hai City with such great power to discover her whereabouts and mobilize so many people.

Gu Tianhong? No, he had no reason at all, and she hadn't provoked him.

Then it was Xia Yuanfu!

Perhaps, Xia Yuanfu already knew that it was she, the killer disguised as a Teacher, who had pushed Xia Qingxue off the cliff!

"Damn it," she cursed softly in her heart. Blood Rose now felt that the hope of escaping Mo Hai City was becoming increasingly slim.

With the Police's informants and Xia Yuanfu's subordinates, she would probably even lose her hiding place.

Being found was only a matter of time!

With a heavy heart, Blood Rose left the pier.

In the dark streets with no surveillance.

Blood Rose looked up as if sensing something.

In the distance, under the orange street lamp, A Man was leaning against the street lamp, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time!
