Shui Mingjun had no idea why Lin Qiao asked that question, but he still glanced at Yan Huiguang automatically before he responded to Lin Qiao. “She used to be Yan Huiguang’s girlfriend. What could she possibly have to do with me?” he said.
Yan Huiguang looked at Shui Mingjun coldly without saying a word. But clearly, he didn’t believe what the latter had said. He thought the zombie lady would ask some further questions, but to his surprise, she replied, “Yeah? Well, since nothing was happening between you and her, forget it then.”
Yan Huiguang looked at Lin Qiao, as he was expecting her to say more. But, she looked at Shui Mingjun and continued, “Why did you take away the batch of weapons which belonged to Yan Huiguang? You should know clearly how important that batch of weapons was for him.”
She had already learned from Yan Huiguang’s thoughts that he was displeased because Shui Mingjun was too close with the woman called Yuqing. Back then, he traded a batch of powerful weapons from Huaxia Base with a batch of drugs that he had developed from mutated plants. With those weapons, his research team would grow stronger soon and earn a place in the post-apocalyptic world.
Unexpectedly, those weapons went missing a couple of days before the deal was made officially.
Yan Huiguang and Huaxia Base people spent some efforts to find a clue about the person who stole the weapons, and that person turned out to be Shui Mingjun, who was Yan Huiguang’s best friend.
Yan Huiguang was with Huaxia Base people when he shot Shui Mingjun. Back at that time, Huaxia Base people were going to kill Shui Mingjun. In order to save his life, Yan Huiguang pulled the trigger before those people.
Since then, the two men became enemies. Shui Mingjun couldn’t believe that Yan Huiguang shot him in the back, and was left confused and angry. Therefore, after spending a year to recover, he started seeking for a chance to take his revenge from Yan Huiguang.
Shui Mingjun looked at her and said, “You know a lot. No one told you that, right? Whose head did you learn that from?”
He had killed almost everyone who knew about that thing. Except for himself and Yan Huiguang, Lin Qiao couldn’t have learned it from anyone else. He knew about the mysterious lady’s mind-reading ability. That was why he asked her that question.
Lin Qiao shrugged and gave Yan Huiguang a glance, then looked at Shui Mingjun and said, “You haven’t answered my question yet.”
Before she looked at Yan Huiguang, Shui Mingjun had figured out the answer. He didn’t look at Yan Huiguang though. The reason why he took those weapons didn’t seem to have anything to do with the woman called Yuqing. Why did the mysterious lady mention that woman?
Shui Mingjun thought for a moment and then said, “Those weapons were defective. Only the senior managers from Huaxia Base knew about that. Someone happily believed that he was about to get some good stuff…”
After saying that, he knitted his brows and turned to Yan Huiguang, “So you knew it was me? You pretended not to know but you shot me in the back at last?”
Yan Huiguang’s expression changed when he heard Shui Mingjun say that those weapons were defective as he slightly widened his eyes and looked at Shui Mingjun with surprise.
“Those weapons had problems? How did you know? Why didn’t you tell me? Why did you steal them?” He asked while getting slightly emotional.
Shui Mingjun sneered and snorted coldly, “Would you believe me? When did you ever listen to me? You hung out with those Huaxia people a lot. They were watching you, in public and secret, but you didn’t know that. If I went straight to you and talked to you about those weapons, they’d know that you already knew those weapons were defective. What do you think they’d do?”
Yan Huiguang stared at him without knowing what to say.
Shui Mingjun was right. Back then, he was creating a distance between them on purpose because of that woman. The two of them were drifting apart, no longer as close as before. He refused to listen to anything that Shui Mingjun said. He didn’t even want to talk to him.
“So, he was unhappy because you were too close with that woman for some reason. At last, your relations.h.i.+p got worse and worse. You didn’t even believe what each other said. Therefore, you did what you did without telling him. You wanted to solve the weapon problem first and then tell Long Hair about it. But, before you explained it to him, he actually attempted to murder you. Am I right?” Lin Qiao looked at Shui Mingjun as she put her fingers on her chin while sorting out the story.
On hearing her words, Shui Mingjun immediately glared at Yan Huiguang and said through clenched teeth, “Is that right? Is it like what she said? You suspected me for that b*tch? Would it kill you to come and talk to me about it?”
“B*tch? I can’t believe you called her that,” said Yan Huiguang, “I wanted to get things clear with you face to face, but before I found a chance to do that, you destroyed my weapons stealthily.”
“That woman was hooking up with many other men when she was with you. I talked to her and tried to tell her to stay away from you. But, you actually thought something was going on between her and me. Aside from your study, can you have anything normal in your head?” Shui Mingjun glared as he pointed at him and said with anger, “I tried to help you, but in the end you shot me in the back!”
“You told her to stay away from me? Why didn’t you just make it clear with me? I shot you to save your life. If you were shot by those Huaxia people instead of me, do you think you’d still be standing here and talking to me now?” Yan Huiguang looked as unhappy as Shui Mingjun as he spoke with an icy cold voice. He sounded so cold that even the surrounding zombies felt chilly.
“Have I never tried to make it clear with you? Think about it. I told you to stay away from that woman, but what did you say to me? You said that I was jealous of you. You said that I, as a single man, couldn’t bear watching you with a woman! Have you forgotten about that?” Shui Mingjun gave a frosty smile. His raging tone of speaking sounded almost ready to set both of them on fire.
Lin Qiao listened to them fight each other quietly. But before they rolled up their sleeves and started a fight, she started talking abruptly, “So, since your misunderstanding has been resolved, please put aside your personal issues and let’s talk about our cooperation.”
“What cooperation?” Yan Huiguang and Shui Mingjun turned to her together.
