After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1917 - 1921: As If Embracing

This was the first time she smiled since the incident.

Clutching the note tightly, Luo Xiaoqian placed her palm on her chest and wrapped it with the other hand, as if embracing someone.

Holding that small note was like holding onto all the hope.

Although she was in danger and lost her freedom, as long as she knew that person was alive and trying to rescue her, her heart naturally warmed up.

Her Leng Zimo was omnipotent; he would definitely save her, definitely!

...

...

In the study of the room opposite, Luo Ke sat in the large chair, his back leaning against the backrest, holding a phone in his hand.

Displayed on the phone screen was the photo of Leng Zimo taken and sent back by Leng Zirui.

At this moment, the photo had been zoomed in, focusing on Leng Zimo’s wrist.

His suit jacket was slightly lifted due to the motion of his arm, revealing more than half of the watch—a deep blue sports watch that seemed somewhat mismatched with the suit.

Luo Ke had seen this watch before, but at that time, it was still worn on Luo Xiaoqian’s wrist.

Later, however, the watch vanished.

At the time, Luo Xiaoqian had simply explained that the watch didn’t match her dress, so she left it on the cruise.

Luo Ke had noticed this detail but hadn’t paid much attention to it.

It was just a watch, without any special meaning to him.

However, when he saw the same watch appear on Leng Zimo’s wrist, Luo Ke suddenly sensed something intuitively wrong.

Though he hadn’t figured out what was going on yet, he immediately returned to the castle to ensure Luo Xiaoqian was still safely there.

Now, as he calmed himself and reconsidered the matter, he quickly discovered some conclusions.

Leng Zimo had reached Rome so swiftly. Judging from the timeline, he must have already been on the plane before Luo Xiaoqian and he had even arrived in Rome, which was why he made it in time.

So, how did he discern Luo Xiaoqian’s location?

Why did the same watch appear on both Luo Xiaoqian and Leng Zimo’s wrists—was it a couple’s watch?

No, that’s not it.

If it were an extremely important couple’s watch, Luo Xiaoqian certainly wouldn’t casually leave it on the cruise, so the only explanation was that she deliberately left the watch on the cruise, and Leng Zimo subsequently discovered it there.

Recalling the situation then, when the watch was brought up, Luo Xiaoqian was clearly flustered and nervous, proving this point.

The most crucial part now is what secret this watch holds.

Did Luo Xiaoqian leave a note inside it?

No, at that time she didn’t even know where he intended to take her, so it couldn’t be a hint left for Leng Zimo.

Then what is it?!

Luo Ke frowned, pondered, but couldn’t find the answer.

His fingers gently tapped the phone as another person’s image flashed in his mind.

Long flaxen hair, a devilish face, tea-colored eyes—that was Leng Zirui’s face.

Did Roy really kill Leng Zimo?!

With a slight hesitation, Luo Ke picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.

"Inspector Charlie, it’s me, Luo Ke. I heard there’s been a murder at the XX Hotel tonight, correct?!"

"Indeed, Mr. Luo Ke, your information is truly timely. The victim is a Chinese businessman who just checked into the hotel today."
