Chapter 475 It’s Better Not to Look
Qin Yao stood quietly there, leaning against the doorframe, his dream had been to one day see her dress in a wedding gown for him—was this not also a realization of that dream?
He forced a bitter smile, then went out to meet the guests.
The makeup artist beside her kept praising her delicate features and fine skin. After they became more familiar, the artist even sneakily asked her about the underworld, the young girl seemingly held some fantastical illusions about the world of organized crime due to her age.
She hadn’t returned for three years and had changed a lot in appearance. Apart from a few people, almost no one knew her identity. Huo Yandong had warned everyone not to disturb her; actually, it was his own guilt that made him prohibit any secret investigation into her identity.
Huo Yandong’s treatment of her was quite special, and nearly everyone knew of this woman who seemed to magically appear by Huo Yandong’s side as his new favorite. For her, he even killed his own foster daughter.
There were also unsavory rumors that there was an unspeakable and sordid relationship between Huo Yandong and her, and now with Qin Yao’s support, he had become even more powerful. Heads of nearly half of the twelve branches had already pledged allegiance to him, obeying his orders, making him the prime candidate for the next boss.
On the surface, that was indeed the case, but Xiaoqiao knew how could this man easily trust anyone. In private, Huo Yandong had not slackened his surveillance of her at all, and each time she needed to dodge it, it took a great deal of effort.
Now that Huo Yandong no longer had Gu Hangshen constantly biting at his heels, he was quickly making a comeback. The first he wanted to deal with was Gu Hangshen’s remnants. Although Leng Tou and others were not mixed up in gang affairs, they were not to be underestimated. If they foolishly sought him out in a bid for revenge for Gu Hangshen, he would not strike first, but if pushed into a corner, he would have no choice but to eradicate them root and branch.
The other target he was currently focused on attacking was the members of the Lian alliance—it was surprising that some had survived and even schemed together with Gu Hangshen in the end.
Gu Hangshen had briefly mentioned to her the matter concerning Lian Yi last night, the woman who had been constantly taking care of him.
