Chapter 205: I'll beat you up! It would be a disservice to my goddess if I didn't give you a good beating.
Despite what Fu Feng said, Fu Heng still looked at Liu Qianhua with distrust. Although he didn't say anything about kicking her out, he also didn't tell her to stay.
Don't look at me like that, I'm serious!
Meeting Fu Heng's suspicious gaze, Liu Qianhua mustered her courage and spoke those words. Her face flushed slightly from her stubbornness, and for some reason, Fu Heng's attitude suddenly softened.
"Alright then, if anything happens to Mingxia, I will definitely not let you off the hook!"
Don't worry!
Liu Qianhua patted her chest and made this promise. Fu Heng sat back down in his chair and remained silent without saying anything more.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Fu Feng and Liu Qianhua also wisely kept quiet. Apart from the occasional footsteps of nurses passing by, there was no other sound in the corridor.
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Yan drove at breakneck speed. He didn't know how long he drove before finally stopping by the roadside. Looking out the car window, he suddenly got out and went to the convenience store across the street. When he came back, he had a pack of cigarettes in his hand.
Sitting in the car, with the windows and sunroof rolled down, leaning back in my seat and gazing at the starry sky above, I felt a strange, inexplicable restlessness.
Xiao Yan lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, something he never did. The sudden smell of smoke choked him, and he coughed repeatedly while holding the cigarette in his hand.
After a long time, the coughing finally stopped, and Xiao Yan started smoking again. His face was not clearly visible through the thin smoke, but the sadness emanating from his body was truly there.
She loved the starry summer nights the most. Long, long ago, the two of them loved to watch the stars together on the mountaintop on such nights, and then watch the sunrise the next day.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems like it's been a very long time since the two of them had such a romantic date. Xiao Yan doesn't deny that they love each other very much, but there's always a sense of unreality in that love. Perhaps, this is the biggest reason why he has to leave to take care of some things!
He closed his eyes, put the lit cigarette to his lips, and forcefully inhaled the smoke that almost made him cough up blood into his lungs before exhaling it little by little. It was as if his soul had left his body for a moment, and he didn't want to think about anything, just enjoying the moment of relaxation.
"Chiba, book me a flight to NY, yes, the earliest one tonight."
"Okay, are you going to NY with Mingxia?"
Chiba asked politely over there, and Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.
"No need. I'll also call Liang Yuhao and have him fly back from France. I might be away from Xiangcheng for a while."
"Okay, is there anything else you need?"
"You...take good care of Xiaxia."
"OK."
Chiba is definitely a qualified assistant, Xiao Yan thought to himself. After hanging up the phone, when he thought of Bai Zixuan being taken to the Seven Up Hotel by Zheng Liu and the others, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
I drove quickly to the hotel and called Zheng Liu as soon as I entered.
"Where?"
"Unit 3860 on the top floor."
Xiao Yan didn't ask any more questions. He went straight to the top floor in the elevator and entered the room. He saw Zheng Liu and Song Jia sitting in the living room watching TV.
"Mr. Xiao."
Where are they?
Looking around and not seeing any trace of Bai Zixuan, Xiao Yan's expression grew even colder. Song Jia got up and glanced in the direction of the bathroom.
"That guy was always causing trouble, so I threw him into the bathroom."
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the bathroom door. Zheng Liu opened the door from the outside, and Xiao Yan took a step forward and saw Bai Zixuan, who was tied up like a dumpling and had a rag stuffed in his mouth.
Upon seeing Xiao Yan appear, Bai Zixuan immediately began to chatter incessantly at him. Xiao Yan's face was gloomy, and his eyes were extremely cold.
"Bring him out."
He turned and walked into the living room without looking back. When he sat on the sofa, Xiao Yan's expression remained cold.
Zheng Liu carried Bai Zixuan to the living room and threw him onto the carpet. Seeing Xiao Yan's cold expression, Bai Zixuan curled up on the floor and kept yelling, but unfortunately his mouth was stuffed with a rag, so no one could understand what he was yelling.
"Take the thing out of his mouth."
He didn't believe Bai Zixuan could cause any trouble here! Xiao Yan vowed to make Bai Zixuan pay back everything he had done to Xia Xia tonight, with interest!
"Xiao Yan, why did you grab me here? Do you know that what you're doing is illegal confinement? I will definitely call the police!"
After the rag was removed from his mouth, Bai Zixuan immediately yelled at Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan didn't say anything, but just snorted coldly. Then he stood up arrogantly, stepped on Bai Zixuan's chest, and curled a cold smile on his lips.
"Illegal imprisonment? Bai Zixuan, do you remember why I brought you here?"
Why were they dragging him here? Bai Zixuan was genuinely confused. He had come to the 7UP Hotel tonight for a cocktail party, during which he drank quite a bit. After the party, he ran into Gu Mingxia when he went to the parking lot to get his car, and then…
After his drunkenness subsided, Bai Zixuan's face suddenly turned pale. He vaguely remembered cornering Gu Mingxia in the car and choking her neck hard. Could he have strangled Gu Mingxia to death?
The moment this thought crossed Bai Zixuan's mind, he felt a chill run down his spine. What if Gu Mingxia died? What if she died? How should he react? Happy or sad?
"Xiaxia... I didn't strangle Xiaxia to death, did I?"
"Oh? Looks like you still remember what happened! Bai Zixuan, as a man, I'm ashamed for you!"
"What do you know? If it weren't for you, why would Xiaxia keep rejecting my confessions? We're husband and wife, so who are you?"
Bai Zixuan spoke with some excitement. Although his body was being trampled under Xiao Yan's feet, he still maintained a strong aura. To him, Gu Mingxia's constant rejection of him was because of Xiao Yan's existence. If it weren't for him, how could his Xiaxia be so heartless?
"You seem to have forgotten that you've been divorced for over six months! Your current woman is named Ye Xiaorou, and your mistress is Huo Jialingling! Do you want to hurt Xiaxia again?"
Xiao Yan stomped his foot, and Bai Zixuan gasped, but he still had some backbone and didn't shout.
"Xiaxia loves me. You're the one who's been up to this. She'll come back to me one day!"
Bai Zixuan shouted out in frustration, but as he did so, he saw Gu Mingxia's disgusted and disdainful expression, which inexplicably increased his hatred for Xiao Yan.
"Unfortunately... as long as I'm alive, you'll never have this chance!"
After saying this coolly, Xiao Yan kicked Bai Zixuan aside and sat arrogantly on the sofa. Looking at Bai Zixuan, who was curled up on the ground like a drowning dog, the murderous intent in his eyes did not decrease but increased.
"Bai Zixuan, you almost killed Xiaxia. I will never let this go!"
"What, you want to kill me? Or are you going to sue me for intentional assault?"
Bai Zixuan's shameless demeanor infuriated Xiao Yan even more. He snorted coldly, and the chill in his eyes was undisguised.
"Why would I kill you? Wouldn't that be stupid enough to send myself to jail? Of course, I won't sue you either. With your status, it's impossible for you not to have connections in Xiangcheng. Even if I win the case, you'll only be in jail for a few months at most. It's not worth it!"
Xiao Yan's words carried an innate chill, and Bai Zixuan shivered involuntarily as he looked at him and heard his icy words.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you or sue you. On the contrary, I'll let you go!"
"snort!"
Bai Zixuan gave a somewhat blustering but weak snort, but said nothing. Xiao Yan chuckled and gestured for Zheng Liu and Song Jia to untie Bai Zixuan, but Song Jia looked unwilling.
"Mr. Xiao, this man hurt my goddess, I don't agree to let him go!"
"Oh? So what do you want?"
Xiao Yan watched Song Jia's displeasure with interest. As a fellow man, he could see Song Jia's affection for Gu Mingxia, so he wanted to see what Song Jia was capable of.
“If you’re afraid of going to jail and don’t dare kill him, then I will! We haven’t even finished investigating the last time the goddess was poisoned, and now this has happened again! I’ve figured it out over this period of time. As long as this person exists, the goddess will never have a day of peace. So for the goddess’s future safety, I think the safest thing to do is to just get rid of him!”
Song Jia glared fiercely at Bai Zixuan. As a mercenary, killing someone without anyone noticing was an incredibly easy task. For his goddess, Song Jia felt that even going to jail would be a happy thing.
"No! Killing him would be too easy on him!"
"Well... since I can't kill him, before letting him go, I should at least give him a good beating!"
After Song Jia finished speaking, he rushed to Bai Zixuan with his fists clenched and punches. Without saying anything more, he started hitting Bai Zixuan hard, making Bai Zixuan cry out in pain.
"Alright, don't kill him!"
Zheng Liu stepped forward and pulled Song Jia, who was getting more and more excited as the fight progressed, and then untied the ropes binding Bai Zixuan.
Having regained his freedom, Bai Zixuan was now unrecognizable. He covered his face, which was covered in bruises from Song Jia's beating, and looked at him with hatred.
"You wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
"Do you think I'm easily intimidated? Bring it on if you dare! If I dodge, I'll be your son!"
Song Jia looked at Bai Zixuan with disdain, his eyes filled with hostility. His years as a mercenary had given him an exceptionally strong killing intent, which was so intense that most people couldn't look him in the eye. Sure enough, Bai Zixuan just glared at him hatefully before turning and walking away.
"Bai Zixuan, this is the last time. Xia Xia is soft-hearted and won't do anything to you, but I, Xiao Yan, won't! She's already paid back what she owed you! Listen carefully, I will make you utterly fail in what you're most proud of! I will make you repay Xia Xia in full for all the harm you've caused her!"
