1311 I Will Make Her Life Worse Than Death
“No,” Gu Zheng said firmly. “No matter how important that person is to you, with your character, you won’t behave like that. Xi Xi, you’re not a weak person to begin with. Your childhood experiences have already polished you to be indestructible. You’ll only become braver the more you suffer. You won’t become a weak person who runs away.”
Hearing Gu Zheng’s words, Qiao Xi seemed to have come alive.
Gu Zheng smiled. “Tell me, what dream did you have?”
…
The next morning, Gu Zheng was in the study, quietly thinking about Qiao Xi’s words last night. She dreamed of a man who drugged and harmed her. She was pressed down by a group of people and had her blood drawn.
A trace of coldness flashed past Gu Zheng’s eyes. That man did not poison her but used a special medicine that could temporarily make her lose her ability to move. The only people who knew that she was immune to poison were the trustworthy people beside her. In other words, Qiao Xi trusted that man very much.
He remembered that the Xia family had been scheming to get Xi Xi’s blood. Could it be that the Xia family was behind it?
“President.” Song Shijing knocked on the door and walked in. He said respectfully, “I’ve already investigated, but there are no clues. Such a man has never appeared in Young Madam’s information, and there’s no record of Young Madam’s blood being drawn in any hospital. If it wasn’t done in a formal organization, it’ll be very difficult to find out.
“However, I accidentally realized that many people have been investigating Young Madam. There’s even news that Young Madam’s blood can detoxify poisons. Moreover, it’s said that…”
Song Shijing suddenly paused and frowned as if he could not say anything else.
Gu Zheng’s eyes were cold as he ordered, “Speak.”
Song Shijing lowered his head and said nervously, “If they transfuse Young Madam’s blood into someone else, that person will have the ability to be immune to poison. Then, if that person’s blood is transfused into Young Madam’s body, Young Madam will produce blood that’s also immune to poison.
“That’s why she can afford to lose the blood in her body to others.”
Gu Zheng could not help but break the pen in his hand. His eyes were bloodshot. Just listening to Song Shijing made it difficult for him to suppress the anger in his heart.
“Who’s the rumormonger?”
Song Shijing gritted his teeth. “…The Xia family, Xia Lan.”
Xia Lan was the previous Xia Yunlou. Ever since her identity was exposed last time, the Yin family had ordered Xia Yunlou to change her name and disallowed her from continuing to use Xia Yunlou’s name. When the police came to investigate, Xia Cheng insisted that he did not know Xia Yunlou’s whereabouts or that Xia Lan was not the real Xia Yunlou. Xia Lan also knew nothing, so this matter was temporarily put aside.
These few days, Xia Lan had probably been hiding in the Xia family and did not dare to go out. Who knew that she would spread such news everywhere?
“According to my investigation, Xia Lan said that Young Madam’s blood can be purified every five years. Then, the person who injects her blood into their bloodstream will be immune to all poison. However, each time she’s about to go through the purification process, Young Madam falls sick.”
Gu Zheng suddenly recalled Qiao Xi’s dream last night. She dreamed that her blood was drained when she was 14 or 15 years old. If it were five years ago, the timing was a match.
“She’s courting death!” Gu Zheng exuded a violent killing intent. “I have yet to settle the score with her for what happened in New City Mall. Now that He Weinian’s matter is settled, it’s time for me to deal with Xia Lan.”
“President…” Song Shijing trembled in fear.
“Xia Lan wants to harm my Xi Xi, right?” Gu Zheng’s light brown eyes were covered in a layer of blood red, and he did not conceal the killing intent in his eyes at all. All these years, he had long since developed the ability to not show his emotions on his face, but he was unable to calm down when it came to Qiao Xi.
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Shijing reminded him hesitantly, “Calm down! President, murder is against the law.”
Gu Zheng looked up with a cold smile. The temperature around him plummeted. “Song Shijing, won’t it be too easy to grant such a person death?”
Song Shijing: “…”
“I’ll make her wish she was dead!”
His words scared Song Shijing.
Soon, Qiao Xi learned about the matter from Song Shijing. Since the other party thought that she would fall seriously ill every five years, she would cooperate with them.
When Gu Yao heard that Qiao Xi was sick, he hurriedly put down his work and brought his assistant and secretary to buy a bunch of things before going to Longwan Residential.
He pushed open the door with difficulty with the flowers and fruits. The butler hurriedly took them. “Second Young Master, why did you buy so many things?”
“Isn’t Qiao Xi sick? I’m here to see her.” With that, Gu Yao quickly rushed upstairs before the butler could react.
