Chapter 527 Qiao Xi, I'm Not a Gentleman
While thinking, Qiao Xi also expressed his guess.
"What possibilities are you betting on?"
Sun Weimeng and Lao Chen also pricked up their ears to listen. They had no idea what Huo Xingzhou was up to!
Huo Xingzhou's eyes flickered slightly and his brows lowered.
"The person the Lu family originally arranged was not Li Songwen, but Xiang Mingzhu," he said slowly. "When Li Songwen took action, Lu Bannong was also surprised and gave Xiang Mingzhu a second glance."
His eyes captured many details in an instant.
He also guessed the Lu family's plan.
Lu Bannong is suspicious, so under normal circumstances he should arrange a chess piece that will never betray him and does not need to be bribed with benefits to leave any evidence.
It can only be Xiang Mingzhu!
Xiang Mingzhu had the greatest motivation to clash with Qiao Xi, and it was easy for them to start a fight since they were sitting next to each other.
Xiang Mingzhu's reputation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine had already been ruined!
Sacrificing Xiang Mingzhu can bring the greatest benefit!
Why not!
"Depend on!"
Sun Weimeng's mind raced, "Xiang Mingzhu is his niece, how could she be sacrificed?"
Qiao Xi sneered, "The Lu family is only interested in profit. They'll sacrifice anything for the sake of profit. After all, they don't even care about human life..."
But she couldn't understand why the Lu family was so afraid of her.
Sun Weimeng looked at Huo Xingzhou with a questioning look on his face. "According to what you said, Li Songwen bribed Mingzhu because she didn't want to be eliminated. So what does this have to do with you not calling the police?"
Huo Xingzhou's lips curled up, his smile tinged with a hint of coldness. "Because we can't alert the enemy. Li Songwen bought a ticket to leave the capital tonight, and I've already sent people to capture him. Let the Lu family think he's gone, so they can rest easy."
"Then……"
His eyes were filled with dark ink, and he lowered his head and continued to disinfect Qiao Xi slowly: "I will secretly collect evidence and hand it over to the police when the third round starts."
Sun Weimeng slapped his thigh and said, "Then the police will go to the Chinese medicine clinic to arrest people. Xiang Mingzhu may be taken away in public for investigation. She will be humiliated under the spotlight."
Wonderful!
Sun Weimeng gave Huo Xingzhou another thumbs up and said, "You are really cunning and sly. You know how to make the enemy suffer even more!"
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou deeply, but she didn't think that Huo Xingzhou was taken away in public just for Xiang Mingzhu.
He seems to have... a secret.
Huo Xingzhou noticed her gaze and blinked slightly when he met her eyes.
He must have other plans!
Qiao Xi's mind was working rapidly.
He said he wanted to take a gamble and take Xiang Mingzhu away at the start of the third round.
Why at that time? It certainly wasn't to embarrass Xiang Mingzhu even more. Could it be that after that, Xiang Mingzhu still had some other purpose?
"hiss!"
A burst of piercing pain brought Qiao Xi back to her senses.
She looked down and saw that Huo Xingzhou had already disinfected the wound. She retracted her wandering thoughts, took a deep breath and said, "Young Master Sun, please find me a clean towel."
"yes!"
Sun Weimeng jogged all the way, rummaging through the drawers.
She gently took Huo Xingzhou's hand with her left hand again. There was a hint of nervousness in her voice, but her eyes were full of trust. "Huo Xingzhou, prick all the blisters and drain all the tissue fluid inside."
Her little medicine box contains all sorts of strange tools.
"And these herbs need to be ground into powder. This is a recipe that Grandpa Cheng spent half his life researching and formulating. It's incredibly effective. Aunt Chunhua from the village had burns even worse than mine, and she used this to treat it."
"I'll grind it! I'll grind it!"
Sun Weimeng ran over with a towel in hand and said enthusiastically, "I can also grind Chinese medicine powder. I used to make pills for myself. I've learned a lot of random things. I can use a medicine grinder."
He walked to the side with the small medicine grinder and started grinding it with all his might.
A pale smile appeared on Qiao Xi's face, and her clear eyes looked at Huo Xingzhou: "Then the biggest task is left to you. Don't be afraid of hurting me! The blisters must be squeezed clean..."
Huo Xingzhou, wearing a black silk shirt, rolled up his sleeves. His eyes were particularly dark. "Okay."
Qiao Xi rolled the towel into a long strip and stuffed it into her mouth.
Use your eyes to signal him to start.
Huo Xingzhou bent down slightly and squatted. He picked up the tools, pricked the big blister on Qiao Xi's arm, and drew out the yellow tissue fluid.
Then wipe it with alcohol cotton and squeeze it.
Qiao Xi's whole body was tense with pain.
The back is straight, and the originally delicate clavicle curve is even more obvious!
“Hmm…”
She bit the towel so hard that her teeth ached.
Fine beads of cold sweat appeared on my forehead, and my back was sticky and wet.
The more pain she felt physically, the more determined she became to win!
The Lu family wanted her to lose, but she insisted on winning in front of them!
She just wants to win glory!
Beautiful win!
She wants to make their plans go awry and make them lose everything!
Huo Xingzhou quickened his movements, not wanting to let her feel the pain for too long! He silently counted the blisters that had been punctured. Qiao Xi had one, and Li Songwen would have no fewer!
"ah!"
Qiao Xi couldn't help but cry out in pain, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Even Sun Weimeng felt uncomfortable watching this. These damn things, he, Sun Weimeng, would give them a good beating one day!
They are all rats in the gutter, only knowing how to play dirty tricks!
Huo Xingzhou's fingers trembled slightly. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart and wrote down all the grudges!
I even felt a little regretful.
I didn’t make plans in the imperial capital earlier and take over the territory of the imperial capital!
As a result, they are now attacked from all sides and need to plan every step, and they have no chips to crush the Xiang family.
There is still a big gap between Haicheng and the imperial capital!
Self-blame flashed across his eyes.
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
In the business world, he could calculate every step and always succeed. But the field of traditional Chinese medicine was not a business world after all. His network of contacts was not that extensive.
The capital is not his home turf, nor is the traditional Chinese medicine community.
But one day in the future, it will be!
Qiao Xi put the towel aside and said, "A gentleman's revenge is never too late."
How could the four great families of the imperial capital be brought down so easily?
They have been entangled for a long time, and many traps they have not noticed can cause them to fall heavily from a height, unable to recover.
But they actually got to this point.
"Actually, I'm not in that much pain."
She could understand his love for her and his self-blame.
Huo Xingzhou held her cold hand and whispered, "I'm not a gentleman..."
So he couldn't endure it for ten years.
Sun Weimeng panted as he ground the powder and said, "We have revenge for our grudges and we have grievances. I see the Xiang family is in trouble, but many people are happy. Sooner or later, they will destroy themselves!"
He held up the medicine grinder and asked, "Is this enough? If not, I'll grind more!"
"One dose is enough."
Qiao Xi asked Huo Xingzhou to help sprinkle it on the wound, and then wrapped the wound with gauze in circles.
The powder contained anti-inflammatory and analgesic Chinese medicine, and the cool feeling made her feel much more comfortable.
Now I just hope these burns don’t affect the flexibility of her right hand and don’t get too serious tomorrow!
Qiao Xi was thinking.
There was a noisy noise outside the villa.
