Real or Fake Missy : Female Side Boss Character Does Not Want to Die Chapter 133

Chapter 133: Photo

What Lu Qi was most interested in was the photo inside the leather bag.

This photo looked old. The edges of the photo had rolled up and turned yellowish.

A man and a woman were in the photo. They were both very good-looking. The man’s hand was on the woman’s shoulder in an intimate posture.

From the looks of it, the two of them were in their twenties.

This photo should have been taken when the two of them went for an outing. The background was a peach blossom forest. It was very beautiful.

This reminded Lu Qi of his parents.

Before his parents passed away, their favorite place for their outing was peach blossom forest.

They would go there two or three times a year.

Lu Xiu also looked over.

“Based on the information we gathered over the past few years, the person who poisoned them was from the Meng family in the city to the north. However, the Meng family had no exposure to poison. Therefore, we now suspect that the poison that the Meng family had was bought from someone else.”

Lu Qi’s eyes flickered.

Carefree Valley?

Lu Xiu nodded with a solemn expression.

Carefree Valley was a very famous poison organization. They were very good at poisons. All kinds of strange poisons were invented by Carefree Valley, and only they had the antidotes.

Many people in the underworld would buy poisons from Carefree Valley to make their enemies suffer a pain that was worse than death.

However, not everyone had access to Carefree Valley.

No one knew where Carefree Valley was. The only way to contact Carefree Valley was through the most primitive method, pigeon messenger.

Once someone tried to track down the location of Carefree Valley by placing a locator on a pigeon.

However, it was useless. There was strong radio interference at that location, and there was no signal within a few hundred miles.

Moreover, the next day, the person who had placed the locator was found dead at home. The cause of death was none other than the poison from Carefree Valley.

Therefore, no one dared to explore the location of Carefree Valley from then on.

Until now, Carefree Valley was just like the Meng family in the north of the city. It was a huge mystery.

However, even if they knew that the poison was from Carefree Valley, it did not help in counteracting the poison.

Carefree Valley had disappeared for so many years, and there was no way to find the antidote.

“You can’t find these two people?”

Lu Qi looked at the persons in the photo and asked.

“I can’t find them. All traces of them have been erased. I don’t even know their names.”

“Tell Xiao Hei to continue investigating.”

Lu Xiu nodded and made a call.

Lu Qi stared at the photo for a few minutes. He felt that the man and woman in the photo looked familiar.

He then put the photo in his room drawer.

In the blink of an eye, it was Monday, the day of Old Master Cheng’s birthday party.

When Cheng Ling was riding her bike out in the morning, she saw the servants had started busy setting up the venue.

She rubbed her nose. The weather in early spring was unpredictable. It was colder today, and she had signs of a having cold.

After eating breakfast, Cheng Ling took a pill. Perhaps because of this, she was drowsy the whole day and felt like falling asleep.

“Hey, Grandpa and I are going to the Cheng family’s birthday party tonight.”

Cheng Ling’s hands were numb from leaning. She sat up and shook her hands.

“Oh.”

“Don’t you care why we’re going? My Grandpa had initially declined the invitation.”

“I don’t care.”

“Tsk.”

Ding Yu decided not to talk anymore before he died of anger.

In fact, he couldn’t explain why in the first place he said those words to lure Old Master Ding into accepting the Cheng family’s invitation.

Forget it! Memorizing classical Chinese was much easier than thinking about such things.

“Didn’t they say the shortlisted candidates for the physics competition will be released today? Why isn’t it released yet?”

Some students in the front row were refreshing the school forum.

“When I was exercising today, I overheard Old Sun talking to another physics teacher. This time, they were slower in marking the papers. So it looks like it will only be released at night.”

Another student interrupted, “What’s there to see? It must be the people from class one. Don’t tell me you’re expecting a dark horse to appear among us?”

Their discussion reminded Cheng Ling and Ding Yu of their bet that day.

“That day we only talked about the penalty if I lose. We haven’t talked about what will happen if you lose.”

“Then tell me, what would you want me to do if I lose?”

“Well… I’m a man and I won’t argue with a woman like you. If you lose, you call me Elder Brother and help me with my homework for a month.”

Ding Yu quickly waved his hand after he finished speaking.

“Forget it. If I let you do my homework, it might be worse than mine. You call me Elder Brother for a month, and it has to be in front of my grandfather.”

“Okay.”

Cheng Ling readily agreed.
