Su Nanzhi was born with a heart condition and was once told she wouldn't live past 18. Yet, she survived. Because of a pair of extraordinary eyes, her heart gradually became calm and unperturbe...
Chapter 232 It’s not an accident, it’s murder
The question asked by Zhao Qingheng is not easy to answer.
"Think about it carefully," Su Nanzhi didn't answer his question directly, "Do you want to hire me?"
"Hire," Zhao Qingheng replied with much more certainty this time. "If you want to make money from me, you have to make me believe in your abilities, right?"
This is easy.
Su Nanzhi reached out and pressed on Zhao Qingheng's temple.
"Your efficiency in solving problems has been quite low recently," Su Nanzhi said with a sigh, "With your brain, you'll be eliminated in the first round of this competition."
Zhao Qingheng: “???”
Why did you suddenly start personal attacks when you were just talking nicely?
"Butterfly Gu, when the Gu worm breaks out of its cocoon and becomes a butterfly, the butterfly that emerges will completely replace you," Su Nanzhi said slowly, "As the name suggests, there will be another person to replace you, and someone will also replace your mother."
Zhao Qingheng: “?”
"You almost had a car accident yesterday, but it wasn't an accident, did you know that?" Su Nanzhi asked.
When she said this, Zhao Qingheng remembered that he almost ran a red light yesterday, but he always abided by these public rules. Yesterday afternoon was the first time that his body wanted to cross that road so uncontrollably.
At that time, Zhao Qingheng just felt that something was wrong. He thought that he had done too many exercises in the past few days and his brain was tired.
But now Su Nanzhi told him that it was not an accident, it was murder.
Zhao Qingheng felt a chill on his back.
"But you don't have to worry too much. The Gu in your body is still in its larval stage. Even if you were hit by a car yesterday, you wouldn't die. The most you'd do is miss the math competition and stay in the hospital for a while longer."
“…”
Su Nanzhi retracted her hand. "Okay, we don't have time these two days. Let's talk after the preliminary exams. I've suppressed the growth of the Gu worm for you. It's already dormant and won't have any effect on you within a week."
"What about my mother?" Zhao Qingheng asked.
Since she had asked this, Su Nanzhi took out a pair of golden scissors from the black canvas bag she was carrying and handed them to Zhao Qingheng. "Cut off a small section of her hair, put it in a bag and carry it with you. Then put on this talisman. Then the poisonous insects in her body will fall asleep, just like the ones in yours."
Zhao Qingheng looked at the pair of scissors that looked just like the ten-yuan scissors sold on the street and the paper talismans used as scary props on TV, and fell silent for a moment.
He even had a feeling that he was being cheated.
"By the way, you mean, it was my...dad's lover who did it?" Zhao Qingheng asked.
Upon hearing this, Su Nanzhi said, "Since I've accepted your business, I'm only responsible for ensuring the safety of you and your child. I won't care who did this, why they did it, or how they did it."
It’s not that I don’t care.
But that’s another price.
But Su Nanzhi didn't want to get involved in Zhao Qingheng's family affairs.
If he can't even handle such a small matter, he should give up his position as the eldest son of the Zhao family to someone else as soon as possible.
Zhao Qingheng fell into an unspeakable silence again. In the end, what he was thinking about was what Su Nanzhi had experienced during the seventeen or eighteen years he lived in the countryside.
How could she do such a thing?!
Could it be that the village where she lives is called Miaojiang?
Even Zhao Qingheng, who didn't believe in this stuff before, knew that witchcraft was prevalent in Miaojiang.
