Chapter 187: Gu Zheng Was Poisoned
Song Shiyu continued, “She didn’t release the recording because she wants to give Qiao Rou a chance to correct herself so that she can be a good person again. After all, she’s a public figure. If such a scandal is exposed, her future will be ruined! They’re really close!”
Gu Zheng: “…”
Had water entered this person’s brain?! Gu Zheng should consider changing assistants.
Just then, the butler knocked on the door. “President, Young Madam says she’s going to look for Young Master Qin. She won’t be coming back tonight.”
Swoosh!
Gu Zheng’s expression darkened, and the cup in his hand shattered into countless pieces.
She actually dared to stay out all night?
Furthermore, she was with Qin An?
Gu Zheng’s face darkened. Song Shiyu rolled his eyes and tried to please the president in order to raise his salary.
“President, I think…”
…
Qin An frowned. “Who has night blindness? Is it necessary for you to come looking for me in such a rush?”
Qiao Xi was slightly guilty. “Just tell me if it can be treated.”
Qin An held his chin and pondered. He had stopped working with the Qiao family and got the company’s founding members to pressure Qiao Zhenguo. He thought that Little Six was here to thank him, but who knew that she rushed over in a hurry to ask why a person would lose his eyesight at night?
Qin An looked at her in confusion. “Little Six, from what you described, I don’t think that person has ordinary night-blindness. Although night-blindness reduces one’s vision at night, it doesn’t mean that one is completely blind.”
“Perhaps this isn’t an illness but the effects of a poison.”
Qiao Xi’s expression changed. Was this really the case?
She immediately asked, “Could it be a psychological illness? Because he was always locked in a small dark room when he was young, could it be that the trauma of his childhood caused him to lose his eyesight?”
Qin An fell into deep thought. “That’s also possible, but I don’t think the possibility of a psychological illness causing him to completely lose his eyesight is high. This is because I’ve heard of someone who has the same symptoms as your friend.”
Qin An’s expression turned serious. “She’ll lose her eyesight at night but she’ll recover if it’s light out, so even when she sleeps, she has to switch on the lights. However, she couldn’t take the torture and died.”
Qiao Xi asked, “Who is she?”
“Lu Qingyun,” Qin An said word by word.
Qiao Xi’s heart skipped a beat!
If that was the case, it meant that Gu Zheng and Lu Qingyun were both poisoned by the same poison!
“Miss Lu was poisoned for many years, so even the old man was helpless about it.”
Qin An frowned. The old man was a divine doctor who could save the dying.
However, he could not save Lu Qingyun. He could only watch as she took her last breath.
“After Miss Lu passed away, the old man started researching the antidote to this poison. Perhaps he has already found a way to cure it. Your friend may still be saved.”
Qiao Xi’s head was heavy. She remembered Grandpa saying he had saved many people in his life, but there was one who could not be saved even after he tried his best.
Was Gu Zheng incurable as well?
Just then, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
Song Shiyu’s trembling voice was heard. “Young Madam, President, he…”
Qiao Xi instantly became nervous. “What’s wrong with Gu Zheng?”
Song Shiyu sobbed and said helplessly, “When the president saved you, his arm was injured and his wound is now infected. Sob…”
Qiao Xi’s pupils constricted. “Quickly send him to the hospital!”
“Young Madam, he refuses to go. Why don’t you persuade him?” Song Shiyu sounded sad as he continued acting. “The president refuses to go to the hospital or take medication. I can’t do anything about it. Only you can control him…”
Qiao Xi hurriedly stood up and left.
Qin An was stunned.
Could it be that the friend Little Six was talking about was Gu Zheng?
He had to admit that Gu Zheng was a good man who was very good to Little Six.
However…
The old man might not agree. After all, Miss Lu…
Little Six respected the old man the most. It would be difficult for him to make a decision.
…
Longwan Residential.
Song Shiyu beamed. “President, Young Madam will be back soon!”
Gu Zheng replied indifferently with a trace of fatigue in his eyes.
It was almost evening and the sun had not set. However, he felt a stinging pain in his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, they were extremely dull.
He could only see Song Shiyu’s outline but not his expression.
Gu Zheng closed his eyes. It seemed to have gotten worse.
Qiao Xi hurriedly returned to Longwan Residential. The sun had set. Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed. The lights in the living room were all switched on, but Song Shiyu and the butler were not around.
Qiao Xi’s footsteps were light as she walked over to Gu Zheng.
Although he was injured, there were no wounds on Gu Zheng’s body.
However, he looked tired and weak…
Qiao Xi suddenly recalled Qin An’s words and her heart trembled. Could it be that the poison in Gu Zheng’s body was acting up?
Chapter 188: Such A Self-Defying Man
Qiao Xi hurriedly tugged on Gu Zheng, her face filled with worry. “Gu Zheng, are you injured?”
The man said slowly, “Mrs. Gu, you’re back. I heard you weren’t coming home tonight?”
Qiao Xi: “…”
‘Damn man! What are you talking about?’
Gu Zheng slowly opened his eyes. They were cold. He did not seem to be sleeping earlier.
He rubbed his eyes and frowned.
Gu Zheng’s eyes looked a little lost. Even though the living room was bright, he could not see clearly.
He lowered his eyes and did not show anything in front of Qiao Xi. He said in a low voice, “Pass me the phone.”
He had to call the doctor, but he could not see his phone clearly. Song Shiyu and the butler were not around either, so he could only ask Qiao Xi to help him.
Qiao Xi had a puzzled expression.
The phone was beside Gu Zheng. He could get it as long as he stretched out his hand.
After waiting for a moment, Qiao Xi remained silent. Gu Zheng’s eyes grew deeper as he slowly closed his eyes as if this was the only way to relieve the pain. “Where’s my phone?”
“Gu Zheng, what’s wrong? Are you…” Qiao Xi asked softly.
She stroked Gu Zheng’s cheek and finally met his eyes. “Gu Zheng, your eyes…”
“I’m not blind. Can’t I ask you to help me get my phone?” Gu Zheng said nonchalantly. He did not want Qiao Xi to know that his illness was serious.
Qiao Xi was helpless. “The phone is right beside your hand, yet you’re insisting that I give it to you.”
The atmosphere instantly fell into embarrassment, and Qiao Xi stared fixedly at him.
Gu Zheng opened his eyes and said with a trace of grievance, “Qiao Xi, didn’t you say that you like me the most? You won’t even do such a small thing for me?”
“…?”
It’s happening again! She could not move on from the words she uttered last time!
Qiao Xi’s face flushed red as she tossed the phone to him and distanced herself from him. She said with a trembling voice, “That was a misunderstanding the last time. I was just joking. Besides, our marriage is only an agreement. We don’t really have any feelings for each other!”
He held his phone and found the doctor’s number. He did not call it.
He raised his eyes to look at Qiao Xi. “It’s late, go rest.”
Qiao Xi: “…”
There was something wrong with this bastard today!
When Song Shiyu called, he said that he was injured and would not go to the hospital. However, he was not injured at all.
Only then did Qiao Xi understand that Song Shiyu had lied to her. Furthermore, Gu Zheng had not been kind to her since she came back home. She was angry. “I won’t care about you anymore! Have fun by yourself!”
‘I can’t be bothered with you!’
Gu Zheng lowered his eyes. After Qiao Xi left, he hesitated for a moment before calling Song Shiyu.
“Stop the power in the villa.”
Song Shiyu was confused, but he knew that there was a reason for everything the president did. “Huh? Okay. President, about that…”
As someone who shipped President and Young Madam, he was a little excited.
“When did Young Madam say that she likes you the most? Why didn’t I know about this?”
Gu Zheng said impatiently, “She liked me before we got married. Otherwise, how could we have gotten married? Does this have to do with you?”
Song Shiyu: “…”
Perhaps, the president was too narcissistic.
How could Song Shiyu not know that Young Madam and President’s marriage was an agreement? Moreover, Young Madam had never said such things.
The president was probably thinking too much!
Unexpectedly, the president, who had always been cold, was also a big boaster!
…
Song Shiyu turned off the power switch, and the bright Longwan Residential fell into darkness.
Qiao Xi had just returned to her room when the lights in the bedroom suddenly went out. It turned out that the power supply had been cut.
Fortunately, her phone and laptop were both charged, so it did not affect her, but…
The blackout would make Gu Zheng blind!
He would not be able to see anything!
Qiao Xi’s heart trembled as she hurriedly rushed out the door, wanting to find Gu Zheng.
The butler and Song Shiyu were not by his side. The electricity had suddenly stopped working and Gu Zheng could not see. As his wife, she had to take care of him.
Qiao Xi had just left the bedroom when she suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Gu Zheng was the one who chased her away just now. It was too embarrassing for her to run over as soon as the power went out!
Qiao Xi stood at the staircase and was slightly hesitant.
Screw it!
However, it was too dark. Gu Zheng could not see anything. He should be very helpless, right?
What if it did come back on soon?
Gu Zheng was blind. He was alone… Gu Zheng…
Her heart was filled with Gu Zheng and she could not be indifferent!
At this moment, her heart was in a mess. She was worried that he would be afraid and think of those unhappy memories from his childhood.
Just then, there was a sudden bang downstairs as if someone had fallen. There was also a man’s voice.
Gu Zheng fell?
Her heart jumped. Without thinking, she hurriedly rushed out.
Gu Zheng, this bastard, really made one worry!
