I felt a bit flustered. My mind was in chaos, and I didn't know if I would be able to come back alive after going down. If they found Zhou Li in the fridge when I returned, then I...
The elevator descended slowly, but my heart raced faster and faster, as if it were about to leap out of my chest.
Li Qian said, “ brother Wei, it was my fault back then. You know, I still…”
I didn’t want to hear any more from him.
Li Qian continued, “I still love…”
I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes, and suppressed my inner anger: “Please, just stop talking.”
Li Qian looked at me with concern: “ brother Wei, I’m worried about you.”
I took a deep breath and forced down my rage: “Thank you for your concern, I’m fine.”
Li Qian sighed and seemed like he wanted to say something more.
I couldn’t help but interrupt him: “Enough already, can you just not say anything!”
This was the first time in many years that I had lost my temper at Li Qian.
He was taken aback, staring at me in shock.
Realizing I had overreacted, I apologetically said, “I’m sorry, I just…”
Li Qian nodded in understanding: “I understand.”
The elevator reached the ground floor, and I quickly stepped out.
The cold outside helped me calm down a bit.
I had to hurry and buy it back; I absolutely couldn’t let them discover the secret.
Li Qian followed closely behind me: “ brother Wei, wait for me.”
I didn’t have time to think about anything else and rushed into the small supermarket.
I urgently asked, “Boss, do you have barbecue dipping sauce?”
The owner pointed to the back shelf: “It’s all over there.”
I rushed to the shelf and grabbed a few bags without paying attention to Li Qian, who was carefully selecting items there.
Damn it, there was even someone cutting in line when I was about to pay.
I was so angry that I wanted to curse.
I wished I could kick all those people out.
By the time we returned to the hallway door, I thought to myself: maybe it’s all over.
Maybe they discovered the body.
Maybe they called the police.
Maybe when I opened the door, several officers would be waiting for me.
Maybe...
It’s over, I’m definitely done for.
Li Qian looked at me with a concerned expression and asked, “ brother Wei, what’s wrong?”
I shook my head and didn’t say a word.
Li Qian pushed open the door.
Wang Liangliang and Liu Fang were sitting on the sofa, watching TV and whispering to each other about something.
Have they found out? Or not...?
What are they talking about?
I seemed to see Zhou Li again.
She was leaning against the wall by the kitchen door, glancing at me and saying, “You’re done for, Liu Wei. See you downstairs.”
The first thing I did when I entered was walk toward the kitchen.
The kitchen looked just as it did before I left; nothing had changed.
I let out a sigh of relief.
I took out a few small plates from the cupboard and divided the dipping sauces into them. Then I started placing the meat on the grill. At that moment, Li Qian transformed back into a quiet and composed lady.
Liu Fang asked, "Where did Zhou Li go? It's been a while, and she still hasn't come back."
I shook my head, "I don't know either. She just took a call and left without saying much. She probably won't be back; let's start eating."
The meat on the grill sizzled, releasing a mouthwatering aroma.
Liu Fang continued, "Is she really not coming back? Why don't you send her a WeChat message to check?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, yet it pierced my heart like a sharp knife. I tried to maintain a calm expression, "She's been quite busy lately; let's not worry about her."
Wang Liangliang chimed in, "Are you two having a fight?"
I played dumb, "Huh?"
Wang Liangliang replied, "Didn't you post something on Moments before with bite marks on your hand?"
