Chapter 44 She’s here to take my life!
The morning light is just right, the room is full of broken gold, and on the balcony
The wind chimes swayed gently, making a crisp tinkling sound.
Li Xiaogou sniffed the refreshing tea fragrance, and it took him a moment to realize that it was his cell phone ringing.
It was Gu Qing calling.
"Hello?" Li Xiaogou said leisurely.
There was silence for a moment. "It's me, Gu Qing."
After saying that, without waiting for Li Xiaogou to speak, she eagerly asked: "How did you know that I—"
She suddenly realized that she didn't know how to describe the current situation.
I was struggling with the words when I heard a deep, pleasant male voice on the phone say, "It's not convenient to talk on the phone. Let's talk in person."
Gu Qing had the same idea and quickly reported the name of a private club.
Li Xiaogou took the Ferrari keys and went out.
He predicted yesterday that Gu Qing would contact her on her own initiative. Of course, it was not because he had acquired Sus's ability to predict, but because he believed in Wang Bo's ability to deceive people.
Sang Zhize is not good in bed, and when he meets Gu Qing, who likes women, the two can be said to be a unique match.
Now Wang Bo saved Sang Zhize from danger and sold him an aphrodisiac that was highly effective and had no toxic side effects. Naturally, Gu Qing was the one who suffered.
Li Xiaogou, who was watching the incident, saw this and gave a little reminder that Gu Qing's first reaction when encountering difficulties would definitely be to look for him, so the situation was settled.
The location of the club is very secluded. It is said that it was a garden where warlords kept concubines before the founding of the People's Republic of China. In order to prevent the concubines from having affairs, the walls were built high, which actually increased the privacy.
After showing the QR code that Gu Qing gave her, the waiter led him around the rockery in the garden and to the door of a compartment.
The waiter had been trained so much that he no longer had even basic curiosity. He knocked on the door gently, signaled Li Xiaogou to wait for a moment, and then turned and left without any reluctance.
When her footsteps faded away, the wooden door behind her was opened a narrow crack. Gu Qing had already ordered the dishes and was waiting for him.
You have to take off your shoes to enter the cubicle. Li Xiaogou stepped on the wooden floor with his toes, so lightly that there was no sound at all.
"Please sit down." Gu Qing said.
Li Xiaogou sat down opposite her with a faint smile on his face.
At this time, whoever loses patience first will lose.
After a moment, it was Gu Qing who spoke first: "Master, you are truly extraordinary. Since you can see the opportunity first, why don't you help me point out a clear path."
The attitude was respectful, but the temptation was not less.
Li Xiaogou's goal is to gain Gu Qing's trust, so as to get close to Sang Zhize and investigate the relationship between him and Situ Ming, so he is not prepared to hide his strength.
He dipped his knuckled fingers into the tea in the cup and wrote two words on the vermilion wooden table in a swift and graceful manner: "Male and Female."
"Ms. Gu came to me for this very reason."
Matters between men and women.
Gu Qing's expression changed slightly, and her words were now more respectful and sincere. She stood up and helped Li Xiaogou get another porcelain cup, refilling it with tea. "Master, please give me some guidance."
Li Xiaogou blew on it, took a sip and couldn't help squinting his eyes.
As expected of a wealthy family, the tea has a fresh flavor and a sweet aftertaste.
"Then I'll be frank. If Ms. Gu wants to escape this disaster, there's only one way."
"What method?"
Li Xiaogou raised the corner of his lips and said, "Let Mr. Sang disappear completely."
Bang--
Gu Qing stood up suddenly, and in his panic, his clothes knocked the lid of the bowl over and dropped it on the ground.
Her eyebrows raised, she angrily said, "Master, I misjudged your intentions!"
After saying that, she picked up the handbag on the table and rushed out the door.
As she put on her shoes at the door, she could still hear the man sipping his tea calmly.
She did this with the intention of testing the man and getting him to reveal more of his thoughts, but the man turned out to be too calm!
Now she is in a dilemma and can only leave first and then make plans.
But just as her hand was on the door, a man's voice came from behind her: "Gu Lan."
In an instant, Gu Qing froze, and even his blood solidified.
"What did you say?" She asked through gritted teeth. She had never mentioned this name to anyone else, but she had repeated it thousands of times in her heart.
"Or call her Shangguan Lan." Li Xiaogou put down the teacup, turned around and said with a smile, "I was born with the ability to see ghosts. The day I first met you, I saw her spirit following you."
"I don't understand what you are saying." Gu Qing was still being stubborn, but he did not make any move to leave the room.
"Please sit down." This time it was Li Xiaogou's turn to speak.
"Shangguan Lan is your older sister. Your parents met, fell in love, and got married abroad. Later, they divorced abroad. After the divorce, your mother, Shangguan Xia, brought Shangguan Lan back to China, while you lived with your father. This is why no one in China knows about your relationship with Shangguan Lan."
"After returning to China, Shangguan Xia started from scratch and quickly established a foothold in the small appliance industry, founding Mingxia. When Sang Zhize wanted to marry your sister, your mother put forward a condition: Sang Zhize had to marry into the Shangguan family, and any future children had to have the surname Shangguan."
"Sang Zhize agreed at the time. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Your mother passed away due to illness, and Shangguan Lan studied art, so the company was eventually taken over by Sang Zhize. But your sister and Sang Zhize had a deep relationship at the time, so she didn't think it was a big deal. Plus, she was pregnant again, and the doctor said she had a weak constitution and had to stay in bed to take care of the baby, so she stayed at home to take care of the baby."
"In the end, your sister underestimated the wickedness of human nature. The doctor at that private hospital was bribed by Sang Zhize. During your sister's pregnancy, the doctor kept asking her to take supplements and also deliberately reduced her exercise and kept her in bed as much as possible. This caused the fetus to grow too large, and your sister died during childbirth."
"And Sang Zhize's mind is even more vicious than a demon. He didn't even spare his own flesh and blood. He sent your sister's son away, and brought back the child he had with his mistress outside."
"Your sister never forgot you. She even left you a portion of the inheritance when she divided it. You only learned about this when you received the inheritance notice. After investigating it, you made up your mind to avenge your sister."
"So you returned to China and married Sang Zhize. At the time, the child Sang Zhize had with his lover was only a few months old. You used the property your sister gave you to register a company and lured Sang Zhize overseas under the pretense of discussing business. When Sang Zhize returned to China a few months later, you had already swapped the child."
"The person Sang Zhize is supporting now is a complete stranger who has no blood relationship with him."
After finishing a long string of words in one breath, Li Xiaogou slowly sipped his tea and observed Gu Qing's reaction.
After the initial shock, Gu Qing became completely dejected.
She could have denied it outright, but as long as the man in front of her found Sang Zhize and persuaded him to do a paternity test, all the truth would be revealed, and all her plans for so many years would be destroyed.
"Yin Yang Eyes?" She laughed self-deprecatingly, "Tell me, what do you want to do?"
Li Xiaogou also laughed: "Please believe that I have no ill will towards you. I just want to make a deal with you."
"Transaction? Do I have the right to choose?"
"Of course." Li Xiaogou answered sincerely, "Even if you reject me, I won't threaten you with what I heard from Shangguan Lan."
There was anger in Gu Qing's eyes. She didn't believe in any supernatural things, but... no one else knew about her relationship with Shangguan Lan except their parents. How did the mysterious man in front of her find out?
"Tell me, what deal do you want to make?"
Li Xiaogou smiled and said, "Don't you think that raising a stranger's child and then using this child to take away your mother's company is too complicated and too long? I have a plan that will allow you to complete your revenge plan within a month."
"Let Sang Zhize disappear?" Gu Qing thought of what Li Xiaogou said when he first entered the room. She unconsciously looked at the muscular muscles under the man's clothes, which were full of power. Her eyes gradually became deep...
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to kill anyone. I'm a law-abiding model citizen." Li Xiaogou decisively broke her unnecessary imagination.
"Then tell me, what do you want me to do?" Having said that, Gu Qing simply relaxed. "This company is my mother's hard work. It's impossible for you to get involved."
"Talking about money is too vulgar."
After knowing everything his sister had experienced, it was normal for Gu Qing to be wary of men. If Li Xiaogou had been treated like this, he might have directly targeted men as a group.
So he understood Gu Qing's current attitude very well.
To show his sincerity, he took the initiative to state his purpose: "I have a way to make Sang Zhize willingly give up all his assets. In exchange, I need you to help me investigate a piece of information."
"What information?"
"I want to know if Sang Zhize and a businessman named Situ Ming know each other, and if there have been any secret transactions between the two."
Gu Qing was stunned. On one side were assets worth billions, and on the other side was just a piece of information. The demands of the two parties were too unequal.
"What if I can't find out?" Gu Qing asked.
Li Xiaogou smiled and replied, "As long as you use all possible means to investigate, no matter the result."
Gu Qing raised his eyebrows: "How do you know if I tried my best?"
Li Xiaogou was confident: "I have my own way."
Gu Qing is not an indecisive person. She does not believe what Li Xiaogou said that he would not threaten her. She never believes in human nature when it comes to interests.
Since there is no way to retreat, we can only move forward. The worst that can happen is that we will overturn the table and die together.
"Okay, I promise. How can you help me?"
Li Xiaogou smiled mysteriously: "What happens next may be a little beyond your understanding, please remain calm."
Gu Qing was used to seeing men who loved to brag, and she wanted to persuade Li Xiaogou to stop talking nonsense and start soon.
Fortunately, Li Xiaogou didn't say anything else after he finished speaking. He tapped the table with his neatly trimmed nails and muttered softly, "Three, two, one!"
Gu Qing suddenly widened his eyes: "You, you, you—you, how is this possible?!"
The man sitting opposite her suddenly looked like her, even the mole on his eyebrow was exactly the same!
Li Xiaogou's left hand, hidden under the table, pressed the transformer again, and he changed back. He drank a sip of tea, pretending enough before slowly saying, "I'm not talented, just a little trick."
Gu Qing didn't know what to say to express her current feelings. If God gave her another chance, she would definitely answer the moment the man counted to "one" - "The time to witness a miracle has come!"
But—"What's the point of a smokescreen?"
Li Xiaogou chuckled and whispered a few words in her ear. Gu Qing's face changed slightly, then his eyes lit up and he nodded, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master!"
*
That night.
After taking a shower, Sang Zhize sprayed Gu Qing's favorite cologne, walked into the study, and secretly took out a small box from under a secret folder.
He took out the pills from the box and swallowed them with water.
In just five minutes, he immediately felt a warm current flowing through his body, and a part of him that had been silent for many years came back to life.
His lovely wife was by his side but he couldn't hold her in his arms. No one knew how much pain he was in.
Last night, Gu Qing said he was very tired and he didn't force him, but tonight he said he would not waste the night any longer.
Sang Zhize walked quickly back to the bedroom, climbed onto the bed from the other side, and held Gu Qing in his arms.
Gu Qing seemed to have fallen asleep. Her profile was calm in the moonlight, and her cherry-like mouth was slightly pouting, which made Sang Zhize feel even more agitated.
He blew a breath of hot air into Gu Qing's ear, held her shoulders with both hands, slowly turned her over, and leaned over to kiss her.
"husband."
Gu Qing murmured in his sleep.
However, Sang Zhize stopped moving because of this coquettish whisper.
A chill ran up from his tailbone, and the heat rising in his body was extinguished by inexplicable fear.
He opened his eyes and slowly looked at the face of the woman beneath him.
The bright moonlight made the woman's face particularly clear.
It was the face of his ex-wife Shangguan Lan!
Sang Zhize suddenly loosened his hands on the woman's shoulders as if he was scalded.
However, at this moment, the woman's eyes opened, and her dark pupils were like two abysses, ready to drag him into hell.
The woman said to him in a resentful tone: "Husband, why are you trying to hurt me?"
When she said the last two words, the woman sat up and grabbed his neck tightly with both hands!
Sang Zhize was furious, Shangguan Lan was here to take his life!
