Qiao Xi pretended to be gentle. “Don’t worry, I won’t kill all of you. After all, murder is against the law! How could a weak woman like me do something illegal?”
The men could not help but take a few steps back.
“Ican be considered half a doctor. I’ll spare your lives, but I don’t know if you can withstand the pain of being dismembered!”
‘The moment the cold blade touched one of the man’s skin, he trembled in fear. “Don’t! I’l talk!”
Qiao Xi nodded with satisfaction. “If you had been this agreeable earlier, you wouldn’t have suffered so much. Huang Lilan ordered you to use hallucinogenic drugs. This can be considered as concrete evidence.”
The man stuttered, “The person who sent us here… isn’t Madam Gu. It’s Madam Gu’s younger brother, Huang… Huang Wei.”
Qiao Xi’s gaze was slightly cold.
So it was Huang Wei?
That was also because of Huang Lilan. In any case, it was fine as long as it was related to her.
Qiao Xi nodded. “Okay, I understand. Huang Wei actually dared to attack me and Ah Zheng. He’s really audacious. It seems I was too kind. I didn’t teach him a lesson yesterday and he seems to have a short memory. Since that’s the case, then he shouldn’t blame me. You guys, follow me!”
The few of them: “…”
“You’re kind? Would a kind woman beat us up like this? Don’t you feel embarrassed saying this?
Song Shiyu’s eyes widened in disbelief. “P-President, do you like having this kind of wife?”
‘Kind, my *ss!”
Gu Zheng smirked. “How could I not like a woman who is trying her best to protect me? She looks so good even when she’s angry!”
Song Shiyu: “..”
After Qiao Xi left, she took out her phone and sent a message. [Song Shiyu, go and welcome my third brother at the door in ten minutes. ]
Song Shiyu was confused. The divine physician’s disciple, Qin An, was coming. However, what was he doing here?
In the main residence.
Madam Gu didn’t sleep well the whole night and felt uneasy. She looked at the time and realized that those people must have succeeded in their task by now.
The windows of Maple Garden had been sealed, and Gu Zheng had also taken in the poisonous fragrance. Coupled with the poison in his body, it was about time for the effects to be seen.
But why hadn’t Huang Wei contacted her? Didn’t they agree that regardless of whether the plan succeeded or not, he would update her? It was already past six o’clock. Why was there still no news?
“What are you doing so early in the morning?” Gu Weiming was woken up by Huang Lilan, who was tossing and turning in bed. He looked displeased.
Huang Lilan’s face was full of flattery as she said gently, “I’m just worried about Ah Zheng. Although he’s not my biological son, we’ve been mother and son for more than 20 years. How could we not have feelings for each other? I heard that his condition isn’t too optimistic…”
At dawn, everyone from the Gu family had arrived. If Gu Zheng went crazy at this time, everyone would know that he was crazy. In that case, the position of the Gu family’s heir could only belong to Lu Yan. No one would object to it anymore.
There had been no news for such a long time. Huang Wei must have succeeded. If Gu Zheng breathed in even a little of that incense, he would lose his mind.
At this moment, a strange sound came from outside the door.
Gu Weiming opened his eyes unhappily. “What’s that sound?”
Right after that, there was another strange sound as if someone was smashing the door. The sound became more and more urgent.
Gu Weiming got up and shouted unhappily, “Who is it?”
There was a moment of silence outside the door, which made the atmosphere even stranger. Gu Weiming felt that something was wrong, so he got up, put on his coat, and left the bedroom.
Before he could reach the front door, there was a loud bang. The front door of the mansion was kicked open and several dark figures were tossed in. The figures even rolled a few times on the ground before hitting the coffee table until it shook.
Huang Lilan stuck her head out to take a look. Weren’t these the people she had sent out to deal with Gu Zheng? She was immediately alarmed and her fingers trembled slightly. “A-All of you…”
Gu Weiming was furious. “Who are you? Why did you barge in so early in the morning? Guards!”
However, it was quiet outside the villa. The bodyguards who usually guarded the door were nowhere to be seen.
At this moment, a slim figure appeared at the door, followed by a cold voice. “Chairman Gu, I’m really sorry.”
“Qiao Xi?”
Madam Gu opened her mouth in surprise, but Gu Weiming had already shouted angrily.
What did this woman mean by coming to his place early in the morning and throwing in a few men who had been beaten black and blue?
