Chapter 552: Good Intentions Lead to Bad Results

Gu Xiaoxi squatted down to take a look, then looked around, and then sat down at the desk in the study.

Xie Ru stared at her blankly, "What are you doing sitting there? Aren't you going to help me find something?"

Gu Xiaoxi did not answer her. Instead, he placed his hands on the table and gave a light push, and the heavy desk moved away.

On the floor next to the drawer of the moved desk, there was a floor tile that had obviously been moved frequently.

She uncovered the floor tile and found only a copper ring underneath. She pulled it gently, and several floor tiles on Xie Ru's left side suddenly sank, revealing a large hole.

Because it happened suddenly, Xie Ru was not prepared and jumped up in fright.

Gu Xiaoxi took out a small high-power flashlight from his pocket and shone it into the cave.

What surprised Gu Xiaoxi was that the cave was filled with jade and jade artifacts.

With a wave of her hand, she took out everything in the hole one by one.

Xie Ru stared blankly at the broken jade that Gu Xiaoxi had taken out of the cave.

Yes, it's shabby.

Because none of these jade artifacts are complete.

What's so good about hiding something like this?

But when Gu Xiaoxi moved everything out of the cave and looked again, she was shocked.

Because among these jades, many are raw jadeite stones, and some are tools used to carve jade articles.

Among these things, there are several jade pendants that look particularly familiar.

Although they are broken at this point, the outline can be roughly pieced together.

They are exactly the shapes of the space jades worn by her and Lu Jiansen.

Seeing this, her breathing became rapid.

So, is Mr. Xie forging it himself and carving a fake space jade pendant?

In this case, the fake space jade that Old Man Gu buried in the grave was carved by "Grandpa Xie"?

But what is his purpose in doing this?

"I thought there were gold, silver and jewelry hidden underground!" Xie Ru was very disappointed.

"Forget it, let's go to your dad's room and look for it again!" Gu Xiaoxi stood up and prepared to go out with Xie Ru.

But after Xie Ru turned around, she waved her finger and put the broken fake jade pendants into the space.

Next to the study is the room where Mr. Xie lives. Surprisingly, the layout inside is almost exactly the same as Xie Zhu's room, with just as many cabinets.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi and Xie Ru were searching each cabinet one by one, footsteps were heard downstairs.

Gu Xiaoxi's five senses are very sensitive. After noticing it, he immediately used the life trace detection technique.

When she noticed three people coming downstairs, she immediately reminded Xie Ru.

"Someone has returned from your family."

Xie Ru paused for a moment, then winked at Gu Xiaoxi and continued what she was doing.

"Doctor Gu, we may not be able to find the poison. If we can't find it, is there no way to detoxify my mother?"

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at her and said cooperatively, "If we find the poison, it will be easier to prepare the antidote. Your mother's condition was more like she didn't want to live anymore. She took the poison herself. Maybe she hid the poison herself."

Xie Ru sighed sadly, "What should we do? The two of us are too weak. How about I talk to my eldest sister and a few younger sisters and ask them to help look for it together?"

As soon as she finished speaking, three figures entered the room one after another.

"Xiao Ru, what are you looking for? Why do you want to bring outsiders home?" Xie Fang, who was walking in front, asked with gritted teeth.

When Xie Ru saw that it was her eldest sister, her brother-in-law Liang Shun, and their daughter Ji Yu who came back, she was still very nervous, so she decided to put on a show.

"Sister, Mom's condition is not good. Doctor Gu said that she has been taking chronic poisons for many years. If she doesn't get an antidote, she won't live long. Let's look for the poison at home. Once we find it, we can prepare an antidote. You're back just in time, come with us to look for it!"

Xie Fang was so angry that she said, "Are you stupid? You believe everything others say. I just went to the hospital and my mother told me that Gu Xiaoxi wanted to kill her and she didn't want Gu Xiaoxi to treat her."

Xie Ru was very angry when she was scolded, but she still held back and didn't say anything back.

Xie Fang felt that she was right to scold him, so she looked at Gu Xiaoxi coldly and said, "You are not welcome in our house. Please leave immediately."

Gu Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows slightly, "You can eat anything you want, but you can't say anything you want. When did I want to kill old lady Xie? She is an old lady, and she is confused. Are you confused too? I am a military doctor, don't I know the consequences of killing someone?"

Ji Yu looked at Gu Xiaoxi's pretty face and said in a deep voice, "Even if my grandmother is old and confused, our family doesn't want you to treat her. You leave my house immediately. If you don't leave, I will call the police."

Gu Xiaoxi frowned and said, "It seems that you don't want to thank the old lady for her recovery, so just treat me as meddling in your business!"

Having said that, she turned and left.

Xie Ru was stunned for a moment, and quickly followed him out, "Doctor Gu, don't be angry, don't pay attention to that girl Ji Yu, she never thinks before she speaks, she has been spoiled by her family. My eldest sister doesn't understand anything..."

Since Gu Xiaoxi had left, she must take the opportunity to follow him.

When Ji Yu heard Xie Ru say this about her, she was furious and chased after Xie Ru and yelled at her, "Second Aunt, how can you say this about me? Why are you helping an outsider?"

Xie Ru snorted, "I wanted to save your grandma, but what about you? Apart from the first day you came back, have you ever cared about your grandma? You just said nice things and pretended to be filial."

Ji Yu was stunned for a moment, then with red eyes she pulled her mother's arm.

"Mom, my second aunt said we were pretending to be filial. How could she say that about us?"

Xie Fang's face suddenly turned gloomy, and she began to argue with Xie Ru.

Xie Fang's husband looked at this scene and walked towards the study.

When he found the study in a mess and the safe had been pried open, he instantly exploded and rushed over to grab Xie Ru's hand.

"You robbed the safe? Where are the things inside?"

Because his strength was too great, Xie Ru was pinched and it hurt, and her temper flared up.

"How should I know? When I came back from the hospital, I only saw Bi Wenyue sneaking down the stairs. I thought she had broken into the safe, so I beat her up. Now she's still lying there! If I had taken something, I would have left right away. Why am I still looking for poison here?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it.

She had previously agreed with Gu Xiaoxi that she would not admit that she had hit Bi Wenyue.

After hearing this, Liang Shun immediately let go of her hand and ran downstairs without even looking at Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi was staring at Liang Shun's back in a trance.

This man had a very reserved aura, and his steps were steady, powerful, and light, very much like Zhuang Qing, who had practiced martial arts for many years.

When she thought about what Xie Wanghui had written in his notebook, she suddenly felt that she should investigate Liang Shun as well.

As soon as Gu Xiaoxi came out of the house, Lu Jiansen arrived with people who were investigating the Xie family.

Because there was a formal search warrant, Xie Fang and Xie Ru were both called over.

Lu Jiansen was not the main person in charge, so he walked straight to his little girl.

"Are you okay?"

Gu Xiaoxi blinked her eyes in grievance, "I did something good but ended up doing something bad, and was scolded by Xie Fang and Ji Yu. Also, there's something wrong with Xie Fang's husband."
