Chapter 1228: Poison
Li Jinxing said the harshest words in his gentlest tone.
"Take good care of the child." After saying this, Li Jinxing went to the baby room, looked at the child, and then left.
He came here today and got nothing but a belly full of anger. Even after leaving Qiule Manor, the anger in his belly did not go away.
Gu Wanqiu.
Li Jinxing thought fiercely about this name. He wanted to hit her not only physically but also mentally. He wanted to make her suffer with guilt for the rest of her life.
Gu Wanqiu grabbed the chain and pulled it as if to vent his anger, ignoring the pain from the chain rubbing off a layer of skin on his feet.
She didn't feel cold sitting on the wooden floor, but there was nothing here. The only thing in sight was the dog chain tied to her left foot.
Dog?
This place is called "Qiule Manor" and was specially prepared for her by Li Jinxing back then. When he brought her here for the first time, he said this: he hoped she could live here happily.
When she was young and ignorant, she once told Li Jinxing that she liked to live in a very big house. Although the North City where she lived was also very big, she was not satisfied and thought it was not luxurious enough. Perhaps all girls have a princess dream and want to live in an ivory tower.
She hopes to have a big wishing well outside her big house and plant lots of flowers in the garden. Her favorite is roses. Although she is allergic to roses, she likes them so she wants to plant them. After planting them, as long as she doesn't get close to them, she can just look at them from a distance.
One day, she will find a red rose that won't make her allergic.
Later, she really found a rose that did not make her allergic. Ten years ago, at her wedding with Li Jinxing, Li Jinxing prepared tens of thousands of roses for her in the church.
She had raised a dog before, and raising a pet was a kind of pleasure. Li Jinxing prepared a pet room here, and she moved in before she even raised a dog.
When Gu Wanqiu was alone and quiet, she couldn't help but think about random things and recall the past.
The sound of a baby crying was heard outside. Gu Sui was hungry after waking up and was shouting for milk. The confinement nanny prepared the milk powder skillfully. As soon as the child saw the bottle, he stopped crying, and his two little hands gently grabbed the bottle and sucked hard.
After drinking, she looked around and the confinement nanny held her and walked around in the garden outside.
Gu Wanqiu dragged the chain to the window, looking outside with greed in his eyes and obsession.
Li Jinxing already knew that he could be saved, which meant that he would be ready for a blood transfusion surgery soon.
How long can she live after the blood transfusion?
Will Li Jinxing still lock her up here like this?
Gu Wanqiu didn't want to die in front of Li Jinxing, nor did she want Si Yan and Si Xu to know that she was back.
She wanted to leave here quietly, and it didn't matter if Li Jinxing hated her.
However, Li Jinxing should hate her very much now. After all, she is a disgusting person in his eyes.
It was better this way. Even though he hated her, was disgusted by her, and despised her, at least he could still remember her after she left.
Gu Wanqiu buried her face in her arms, tears streaming down her face.
In the evening, the nanny brought her food, which was very different from the meals she usually ate. There was no exquisite presentation. It looked like ordinary home-cooked food, which was edible.
Gu Wanqiu had been eating pork liver for several days, and now she switched to ordinary home-cooked dishes, and she actually found them quite delicious.
She ate a lot by herself, and only by eating well can she recover her body as soon as possible.
The nanny felt a little uncomfortable when she saw that she was eating happily.
She was locked up here, chained with a dog chain, and the only place she could rest and sleep was on the wooden floor. There wasn't even a bed. Even after being treated like this, she could still eat. I don't know if she was too narrow-minded and didn't take it to heart at all.
The nanny brought a blanket and put it on the floor.
In the empty room, there was not even a toilet or a place to wash.
If Gu Wanqiu wanted to go to the toilet, she could only call the nanny to untie the chain on the pillar, hold the chain and take her to the bathroom outside to wash and go to the toilet. If she wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night, she could only hold it in because everyone was asleep. If she was lucky, she would meet a confinement nanny who got up to go to the bathroom and could ask her to take her to the bathroom.
But in order not to trouble others, Gu Wanqiu ate light meals at night and drank less water, so that she would not want to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
But she didn't know that after giving birth, the body will have various uncontrollable problems, such as urinary incontinence, which cannot be held at all, so Gu Wanqiu always makes herself a mess.
She became increasingly withdrawn and began looking out the window, hoping the day of her transfusion would come so she could be free.
…
Li Jinxing's condition began to worsen. Sometimes he would suddenly cough and vomit blood while sleeping well at night. In order to prevent his two children from discovering the problem, he had to sleep separately from them.
He has already dealt with more than half of J City. Gong Qing has now been forced to the "edge of the cliff" and dares not act rashly. He does not need to keep an eye on it and can just leave it to others to deal with.
Good news has been coming frequently from the hospital. The latest research has made a breakthrough, and the success rate of curing his body is getting higher and higher.
He Tian has been busy with his current work recently. He heard that Li Jinxing had recently visited Qiule Manor, so he took out his computer and connected it to the monitor in his spare time. He saw Li Jinxing dragging the person down from the second floor to the first floor and locking him in a room. If he remembered correctly, this room should be the room originally intended for raising a dog. There was nothing in it except a fixed chain.
Gu Wanqiu had just given birth and is still in the confinement period. She had a high fever not long ago and has been suffering from minor health problems. How could she be locked up in a doghouse before she even recovered?
He Tian called Qiule Manor and asked about what happened that day.
The nanny told He Tian everything she knew on the phone.
After listening to this, He Tian finally understood that Gu Wanqiu did this on purpose and wanted Li Jinxing to hate her.
But she was too tactless and directly angered Li Jinxing. Now she was locked in a doghouse. You know, there was nothing in it.
"How is she now?"
"Miss Gu? So far, she's fine. She can eat and sleep, but she's a human being. If she's locked up all the time, she'll definitely get sick. No one talks to her."
That’s not the case, so we have to arrange a time as soon as possible to have Li Jinxing have his blood drawn.
If Gu Wanqiu wasn't in poor health, he would have arranged the surgery long ago, fearing that she wouldn't be able to endure the blood draw.
Now Gu Wanqiu was locked up with a dog chain by Li Jinxing. If she got suffocated and something happened, there would be no hope for Li Jinxing to save her.
He Tian walked around anxiously, scratching his head frantically, and finally took out his cell phone and called Li Jinxing.
I want to plead with Gu Wanqiu, asking her to at least get through this month and let her recover first.
He Tian hadn't thought about what to say yet the call was connected and Li Jinxing's voice came from the phone.
"He Tian, what are you calling for?"
He Tian smiled awkwardly: "Boss, what are you doing now?"
"I'm at home. I've finished the work at hand, and I'm helping Siyan and the others with their homework."
"In North City, I'll come find you then."
"What do you want me to do? If you have nothing to do and are bored, I can arrange something for you." Li Jinxing has been ill frequently recently and is better during the day. Today he finally managed to spare some time to accompany his two children and didn't want to be disturbed by He Tian.
"You'd better not make any arrangements for me. I've just barely managed to find some free time."
"So, why did you call me suddenly?"
"Actually, it's nothing..." Although he was talking to the phone and didn't need to see Li Jinxing, Li Jinxing's influence did not diminish at all. Even at such a distance from the phone, he could still feel his deterrent power.
He Tian organized his thoughts and decided to plead for Gu Wanqiu.
"I heard that you went to see Gu Wanqiu a few days ago, locked her in the doghouse, and humiliated her severely."
"Haven't you always been dismissive of her affairs? Why are you suddenly calling to ask about her? This doesn't seem like your style." Based on his understanding of He Tian, if he knew that he was willing to take action against Gu Wanqiu, he would cheer and applaud and shout "Well done!"
"After all, Gu Wanqiu just gave birth. If you torture her like this and she doesn't even have a bed, I'm afraid something might happen. If she has some minor health problems and can't recover, I'm worried you'll regret it."
"Are you worried that I'll regret it, or are you worried about Gu Wanqiu? He Tian, why are you concerned about her today? You weren't like this before. You kept telling me not to take her seriously. Now I've figured it out. She's really not worthy of my love. If she doesn't want to be a good person, then she can only be a dog. I can still afford to keep a dog at home. I'm treating her like this now, and it can be considered revenge for myself. I feel very happy. Shouldn't you be happy for my change?"
If Li Jinxing had not been poisoned and he had figured it out, he would have been very happy for him.
He Tian didn't know what to say. If he said too much, he would make more mistakes and Li Jinxing would suspect him. But if he didn't say anything, what if something happened to Gu Wanqiu?
He Tian could only hold the phone and sigh. His strange behavior had made Li Jinxing think too much. He always felt that He Tian was hiding something and was hiding something from him.
He was about to ask directly when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. In order to prevent the disease from occurring during the day, he had taken a lot of medicine in advance, but the poison in the body could not be prevented just by wanting to, just like at this moment.
The sharp pain came from his chest, as if a hand was gripping and pulling him down. Li Jinxing took a deep breath and gasped for air. He slowly raised his hand and placed it on his left chest, pressing hard to relieve the sudden pain.
But not only was this useless, it also made his breathing weaker and weaker. He was like a person sinking in water and losing his breath. The oxygen around him left him, and his eyes went black and white. He opened his mouth and groaned, and suddenly a smell of blood came from his throat.
In order to suppress the blood, Li Jinxing subconsciously gritted his teeth, but it was too late and the blood spurted out.
Li Jinxing covered his mouth and staggered. He breathed in pain and his head became heavier and heavier.
After a while, he felt a damp heat in his palm. He loosened his hand that was covering his lips and looked down. The blood in his palm was black. With just one glance, Li Jinxing leaned back and lost control of his body, like a puppet with its strings cut, and fell to the ground.
He stared at the ceiling with empty eyes until the snow-white wall was stained red with blood. Li Jinxing turned his head and fell into complete darkness.
Without any warning, without any sound.
Li Jinxing answered the phone while standing on the balcony. Worried about disturbing the two children's studies, he even closed the glass door.
Si Yan and Si Xu were in the room. They were in elementary school, but the textbooks they were holding were for the fifth grade. The two brothers were discussing a problem.
"Dad, why did it take so long to answer the phone?" Si Xu asked.
Siyan looked towards the balcony, and it was at that glance that he saw Li Jinxing fall down.
"Dad——" Si Yan shouted, and the two brothers ran over anxiously and opened the balcony door.
Li Jinxing had closed his eyes, half of his face was covered in blood. The phone in his hand had not been hung up yet, and He Tian's anxious voice came from the other end.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Say something." He Tian felt something was wrong when Li Jinxing took a deep breath. There was only a burst of noise in the phone, but no voice of Li Jinxing. The more this happened, the more he couldn't help but feel scared.
He turned on the speakerphone and at this time heard Siyan Sixu crying and calling for her father.
"Siyan, what happened to your father?"
Si Xu knelt in front of Li Jinxing and pushed him, trying to wake him up. Si Yan noticed the phone on the ground that was still talking. He picked it up, looked at the contacts on it, opened his mouth and said with a sob, "Uncle He, Dad vomited a lot of blood, he fainted..."
He Tian was also very anxious, but he was unable to put out a fire that was nearby by adding distant water. He comforted Si Yan and Si Xu on the phone and asked them to go find the housekeeper and the nanny.
After hanging up the phone, He Tian started contacting people. According to Si Yan's description, Li Jinxing's condition is not optimistic and he may need a blood transfusion now.
The housekeeper quickly got the news and moved Li Jinxing from the balcony to the sofa in the living room, then began to contact the driver to send him to the hospital.
While in the car, the housekeeper received a call from He Tian.
Ask the driver to take Li Jinxing directly to Qiule Manor, and don't take the two children with you.
No matter how anxious Si Yan and Si Xu were, they were still kept at home by the housekeeper, who asked the nanny to keep an eye on them and not let them run around.
The two children were struggling and crying in the nanny's arms. No one could comfort them. This time they were really scared.
In their hearts, Li Jinxing has always been powerful, like a hero in a cartoon, indestructible and nothing can defeat him.
But today, Li Jinxing vomited blood and collapsed, and no matter how they called him, he wouldn't wake up. They always felt that their father would disappear.
…
On the other side, after He Tian finished calling the housekeeper, he asked Zhou Yi to rush to Qiule Manor. Ever since Li Jinxing's accident, those doctors have been invited to Qiule Manor to conduct experiments. Qiule Manor has everything, so if they want to perform surgery on Li Jinxing, they don't have to go to the hospital at all.
It just so happened that Gu Wanqiu was also imprisoned there, so we could just take action directly.
