Chapter 193 Qiao Xi's World Collapses
Qiao Xi lowered her head and unlocked her phone screen.
The system message prompts that there is a new email, as well as some missed calls and unread text messages.
Qiao Xi checked them one by one and found that the missed calls were basically from friends, mixed in with some sales calls.
There was no one she was looking for.
I'm afraid not many people knew that there was a fire in the clinic late at night, as everyone has their own life.
She clicked on the email, thinking it might be another scam email from a bank promoting a loan or a lottery win.
But.
One after another, high-definition and ambiguous photos appeared in front of her.
Huo Xingzhou and Xu Xingluo were kissing passionately in the corridor of Jinling Hotel.
They were so passionate that they wanted to embed themselves in each other's bodies, as if their old love had rekindled.
Moonlight.
Night.
The man leaned against the pillar, his posture wanton and alluring. Xu Xingluo hugged his waist, his expression seductive.
His clothes were disheveled.
She looked up for a kiss.
They are truly a perfect match.
Qiao Xi gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles white, the veins on the back of his hand faintly visible. It turned out that he was entertaining Xu Xingluo tonight, and he had indeed arrived at the Jinling Hotel.
The phone calls didn't go through all night.
Her mind was filled with the image of them kissing, which squeezed out all her rationality.
She was stunned for a long moment, as if all five senses were magnified.
Ding!
The lights in the emergency room went out.
The three words "rescuing" were all gone.
Qiao Xi turned off the phone screen and looked at the door of the emergency room.
The door of fate opened, and the doctor in a white coat had a solemn expression on her face. The medical staff involved in the rescue bowed before her.
"Feel sorry."
"We tried our best, please accept our condolences."
An apology, an apology of condolences. Each word was amplified in her ears, as if it were reverberated.
At that moment, I felt cold to the bone.
She felt as if the world was spinning and turning upside down.
The thin old lady was lying on the hospital bed, covered with a white sheet.
Qiao Xi didn't know how she walked over. She slowly lifted the white cloth and saw her grandmother's kind face.
It's like he just fell asleep.
"Grandma? Don't scare me." She whispered.
"Grandma, stop joking with me..."
Qiao Xi's tears fell uncontrollably and her whole body was shaking.
The doctor recognized her and comforted her, "Doctor Qiao, the dead cannot be resurrected. The old lady's body was originally..."
"no."
Qiao Xi shook her head. She grabbed the old lady's hand and looked at them stubbornly: "It's hot."
"It's still hot."
"Her body is still warm, how can you expect me to believe it!"
"She was clearly asleep, yet she still wanted to eat the meat dumplings I bought. I was so close to buying them... just so close..."
Qiao Xi looked at them with her almond-shaped eyes, wanting to get an answer of recognition.
They avoided her sight and didn't dare say anything more for fear of irritating her.
Qiao Xi noticed that they were avoiding her. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything. It was as if cement was poured into her throat, making her voice hoarse and difficult to speak.
For a moment, she felt as if tiny needles were piercing her brain, her heart, and her bloodstream, trying to follow the bloodstream and penetrate every cell of her body.
The pain wanted to kill her!
“Ahem…”
Qiao Xi covered his chest and coughed without warning.
She doubled over from coughing and squatted in the corner. Tears welled up in her eyes so fast that her vision was filled with large, blurry patches of color.
I can't find a foothold.
There was a cold, salty taste in her throat.
Chaotic and fragmented images were clamoring in her mind, and were crushed and discarded bit by bit by the gears of fate.
No one could cover her eyes at this moment.
But she could see clearly.
See your own world.
It's collapsing bit by bit before my eyes.
Become a ruin.
Desolate, desperate, and bleak.
On the barren land, the flower on the last vine withered.
“Ahem…”
She coughed so hard that her internal organs were about to shift, and her mouth was filled with the taste of blood.
What I see before my eyes is flickering black and white, my consciousness is disconnected and reconnected, then disconnected and reconnected.
She was unwilling to accept it.
I was unwilling to faint like this.
"Doctor Joe?"
"Doctor Qiao, are you okay?"
"Doctor Qiao? Doctor Qiao fainted!"
This night was a chaotic one.
…
the next day.
The sky was foggy and a light rain was falling outside. The news of the clinic fire had already made the local headlines.
Some condemn, some sympathize.
There are also people who are unaware.
Huo Xingzhou woke up in a luxury ward at a private hospital. He looked pale, feeling the shattered feeling of someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Zhou Yu and Lao Chen stayed with him in the ward all night, not daring to leave.
He sat up with his arms propped up and threw back the quilt.
"Huo Er, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? The doctor said the medicine will take some time, and you've been feeling weak these past few days."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere else?"
Zhou Yu was very concerned about his health, fearing that he would have the adverse reactions the doctor mentioned.
Huo Xingzhou shook his head and asked coldly, "Where is Xu Xingluo?"
Zhou Yu said sarcastically, "Go home and become a coward. Every time she gets into trouble, the Liu and Xu families always protect her. Surprisingly, nothing about what happened last night was leaked."
But if Tianyuan Group wants to survive in Haicheng, it needs to be on good terms with the Liu family.
"Terminate the cooperation with the Xu family. Don't sign any contracts that haven't been signed this year. Stop all projects involving Xu Xingluo. Regardless of any losses."
He lowered his brows and a cold air emanated from his body.
"Well, I'll notify all departments right away. By the way, I'll try to disrupt the Xu family's business. This time it's really disgusting." Zhou Yu knew the limits very well. The Liu family was extremely powerful, but the Xu family was a newly wealthy and powerful family.
Huo Xingzhou suddenly thought of the glass of wine last night and Huo Jiancheng's abnormal behavior recently.
He felt heavy-hearted and very unhappy.
"Please help me find out what my father has been doing recently, what kind of deal he has with Xu Guangyao, or what evidence has fallen into Xu Guangyao's hands. Don't tell anyone until everything is clear."
Huo Xingzhou's tone was cold.
Zhou Yu suddenly had a guess and looked at him in astonishment: "Could it be... I told you that you are always cautious, how could you fall for Xu Xingluo's low-level trick? You are always defenseless against people close to you, how could your uncle..."
"Go check it out first, and remember to investigate in secret."
Huo Xingzhou said expressionlessly.
He stood up, picked up the coat hanging beside him, and prepared to go out.
"By the way, don't tell Qiao Xi about what happened last night." He was afraid that she would think too much.
Zhou Yu said, "I know. Where are you going? I'll be running the company for now. You should take a couple of days off."
"I'm going to find Qiao Xi. Give me the phone." Huo Xingzhou stretched out his hand to Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu put the phone with a black screen in his hand and said.
"Last night, I sent a text message to Qiao Xi as you instructed. Afterwards, I kept getting calls from strange numbers. I thought your private number had been leaked to a sales organization, so I turned it off."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou responded and walked out.
The driver, Lao Chen, was waiting in the corridor. He saw Huo Xingzhou seemed to be hesitant to speak.
