Chapter 142: Broken Bones
A golden light suddenly appeared, and cheers suddenly arose from all around.
Lu Yunzheng turned his head and looked over from the second-floor window, just in time to see Gu Xizhi with a ferocious look on her face, raising her hairpin and stabbing Shen Jiasui fiercely.
He was so frightened that his eyes widened and his heart beat fast, but he was not worried about Shen Jiasui, but about Gu Xizhi.
With Shen Jiasui's martial arts, Xizhi would have no chance of succeeding as long as she was even slightly prepared!
Without any hesitation, Lu Yunzheng supported himself on the windowsill with one hand and jumped down from the second floor!
But everything happened in a flash, so fast and so suddenly.
Shen Jiasui turned around suddenly and raised his hand to cover it.
bite--
The golden hairpin was swept to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Shen Jiasui was not stabbed, but the tip of the hairpin quickly scratched her palm, leaving a long wound, and her skin was torn apart in an instant.
Blood flowed out, the red color was glaring, causing the people around to exclaim in surprise.
The next moment, a scream so shrill that it made one's scalp tingle was heard, but it was not from Shen Jiasui, but from Gu Xizhi.
When people are in danger, they always "can't control" themselves.
Shen Jiasui's left hand had been holding Gu Xizhi's right wrist. At this moment of life and death, she almost "unconsciously" used all her strength and clenched her fist tightly.
Snap——
It was a very faint sound, and no one could hear it except Shen Jiasui and Gu Xizhi who were nearby.
Gu Xizhi only felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her wrist, and an indescribable pain exploded.
Her whole body trembled and she screamed instinctively. Her head was buzzing and she felt dizzy.
"Cherish the branch!"
A familiar voice came from far away.
Lu Yunzheng was terrified. He reached out and pushed Shen Jiasui away, and just in time hugged Gu Xizhi who had fallen to the ground.
Shen Jiasui seemed "defenseless" and was pushed back repeatedly.
The crowd behind him moved hastily to get out of the way. Shen Jiasui let out a low cry and fell onto a stall nearby, with the lanterns scattering all over the floor with a crackling sound.
It was such a happy Lantern Festival, but such a mess happened. People who came to watch the fun quickly gathered in circles.
Shen Jiasui's face turned pale with pain and he quickly raised his cut right hand.
Under the bright light, everyone saw blood flowing down Shen Jiasui's hand and then dripping onto the ground. It was a horrifying sight.
"ah!"
Some people were so frightened that they covered their eyes and screamed.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng's eyes were full of Gu Xizhi, and he had no time to pay attention to Shen Jiasui.
Gu Xizhi's face was pale, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and there was no blood on her lips.
At this moment, her eyes were slightly closed and her look was empty. It was obvious that she had lost consciousness due to the severe pain.
Lu Yunzheng looked around in panic, wondering where Gu Xizhi was injured.
"Cherish the branches! Cherish the branches!"
Suddenly, his eyes fixed.
Gu Xizhi's right hand was resting limply on her leg. Her wrist was swollen and red, and even looked... twisted.
Lu Yunzheng felt a buzzing sound in his head, and suddenly became stunned.
He had seen injuries like this before.
When a martial artist's hand is disabled due to a fall from a horse or a collision, his wrist looks horrifying like this.
At this moment, Xizhi's wrist bones are probably shattered into pieces, and there is no possibility of recovery.
Lu Yunzheng couldn't stop his shoulders from shaking. At this moment, thousands of thoughts flew through his mind, and suddenly he stopped at -
Xizhi can no longer hold a pen.
I can no longer...imitate other people's handwriting.
"Sui Sui!"
"sister!"
Two people pushed through the crowd and squeezed in. They were Jiang Xun and Shen Jiaheng who had hurried over.
When they saw Shen Jiasui sitting on the ground in a mess with his right hand bleeding, their faces changed at the same time.
Shen Jiaheng's eyes were red, and he quickly took out a handkerchief and covered Shen Jiansui's right hand tightly.
"Sister, are you okay? Does it hurt? Clinic! Where is the clinic?"
The crowd watching shook their heads. Which clinic would be open on the night of the Lantern Festival?
Jiang Xun half-knelt aside, leaning closer to Shen Jiasui. At this moment, his brows were tightly furrowed, with a cold and stern expression that had never appeared before when facing Shen Jiasui.
While Shen Jiasui was comforting Shen Jiaheng, she glanced at Jiang Xun's face. The moment their eyes met, she saw the disapproval in Jiang Xun's eyes.
Shen Jiasui understood that with Jiang Xun's keen insight, he must have seen through her plan.
She pursed her lips slightly, but before she could say anything, she saw Jiang Xun's brows relax, and he shook his head in a compromising manner towards her.
How could he possibly say anything wrong about Sui Sui?
Especially since she is so smart and courageous, and her actions are linked together, she has thought so carefully and done so well.
He just...
"Shen Jiasui, how dare you be so cruel to Xizhi? You have such a vicious heart!"
At this time, Lu Yunzheng, who was not far away, suddenly shouted angrily. His eyes were red and he was staring at this side viciously.
Shen Jiasui's face froze, and he shrank to Jiang Xun's side "in fear". He took the opportunity to quietly signal Jiang Xun not to intervene, and said in a trembling voice:
"Lu Yunzheng, I don't know what you are talking about. Xizhi just suddenly attacked me!"
After these words came out, some bystanders nodded and said in a low voice: "That's true."
Just now, they saw the two girls holding hands and talking peacefully. For some reason, the girl behind them suddenly raised her hairpin and stabbed someone, which scared them.
When Shen Jiasui saw that there were other witnesses, he immediately felt even more "wronged" and said with red eyes:
"Why don't you ask why Xizhi suddenly attacked and hurt someone? I don't know if my hand is injured or not, and I can't move it anymore!"
When Lu Yunzheng saw Shen Jiasui was shivering and her eyes were red, he knew she was pretending. He became even more furious and pointed at Gu Xizhi's right wrist and said:
"You have thick skin, so those superficial injuries are nothing. Xizhi's wrist bones were broken, and her right hand was disabled. Do you dare to say that it was not intentional?"
Shen Jiasui immediately shook his head, raised his right hand which was still bloody and wrapped in a handkerchief, and said angrily:
"My life was in danger just now, and I just saved myself instinctively. Xizhi wanted to attack me by surprise, so should I hold back?"
"At this moment, I'm afraid I would have been lying in a pool of blood!"
The spectators around nodded again after hearing this.
Gu Xizhi's wrist was indeed extremely swollen, but Shen Jiasui's palm was bloody, which looked more terrifying.
Seeing that everyone was leaning towards Shen Jiasui, Lu Yunzheng's face became dark and gloomy, so he had to lower his head and call Gu Xizhi again.
"Cherish the branch? Cherish the branch?"
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng could hardly hide his heartache.
He wanted to take Xizhi to get medical treatment immediately, but if he left now, he was afraid that Shen Jiasui would have a thousand excuses to make excuses later, and Xizhi's injuries would be in vain.
Shen Jiasui repeatedly insisted that it was Xizhi who launched the sneak attack first, and he had indeed seen it just now.
But a smart person like Xizhi would never do something so radical in public for no reason.
Xizhi must have fallen into some trap set by Shen Jiasui!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng raised his head and glanced at Shen Jiasui, only to see that her brows were frank and she seemed to be fearless.
At this time, Gu Xizhi groaned in pain, and after Lu Yunzheng called her several times, she finally came back to her senses.
"Cherish the branch!"
Gu Xizhi was still in a daze. The pain in her wrist kept coming like a tide, causing her tears to stream.
Lu Yunzheng hurriedly raised his hand to wipe Gu Xizhi's tears, and his eyes also became red.
"Don't be afraid, Xizhi. I will take you to the best doctor right away and will definitely cure you!"
Lu Yunzheng's voice reached her ears word by word, and Gu Xizhi suddenly came back to her senses, her pupils shrinking.
"Yun Zheng——"
Her throat was slightly hoarse and her voice was trembling.
Lu Yunzheng nodded in response and asked, "Xizhi, what's going on? Did Shen Jiasui do something to you? Did she force you to do something?"
Gu Xizhi raised her eyes suddenly and saw Shen Jiasui still sitting on the ground not far away, then met Shen Jiasui's meaningful gaze.
At this moment, she was filled with fear and hurried to look at Lu Yunzheng's expression.
Fortunately, the worry and heartache in Lu Yunzheng's eyes were real, and Shen Jiasui obviously had not had time to say those words.
This matter involved that person, and Shen Jiasui probably didn't dare to point it out in public. This gave her a chance to breathe.
If she waits until the crowd disperses, she might be in real trouble.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi felt relieved and wanted to escape from here immediately. She hurriedly shook her head and cried:
"Yun Zheng, I'm in so much pain, so much pain, can you take me to see a doctor first?"
Lu Yunzheng was stunned when he heard this.
Xizhi...are you just going to let it go like this?
What is going on?
As soon as Lu Yunzheng raised his eyes to look at Shen Jiasui, Gu Xizhi cried out in pain and her tears flowed even more violently.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng no longer had the heart to pursue the matter. He quickly picked up Gu Xizhi and said harshly:
"Shen Jiasui, I won't let this go!"
Jiang Xun put on a full show and immediately raised his hand to help Shen Jiasui.
Shen Jiasui understood what he meant, and immediately used the force to stand up. Jiang Xun supported him and he ran after him with an angry look on his face, saying quickly:
"A sneak attack and wounding someone, you want to leave now?"
However, Gu Xizhi was crying so hard at this time that Lu Yunzheng did not want to pester her any more. He quickly squeezed into the crowd and shouted coldly:
"Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way!"
Seeing Lu Yunzheng's ferocious look, everyone tried to avoid him.
“Don’t go!”
Shen Jiasui shouted angrily, but due to the crowded crowd, he couldn't catch up.
Gu Xizhi's face was pale. Before leaving, she turned her head and stared at Shen Jiasui over Lu Yunzheng's shoulder.
She was still hesitating whether to use that backup plan, after all, her godfather and godmother were quite kind to her.
Today, it was Shen Jiasui who forced her to do so!
Being able to imitate handwriting is indeed one of her big bargaining chips, but it can only be said to be icing on the cake.
I think with that person's ability, she can still find someone capable to replace her and imitate her godfather's handwriting.
The most deadly and unsolvable thing has always been the secret that she has tried so hard to keep for so many years!
Shen Jiasui, you have schemed to harm me to this extent. I want to watch with my own eyes your entire Shen family being destroyed and see you kneeling on the ground begging me!
......
Shen Jiasui met Gu Xizhi's gaze steadily, without dodging or avoiding.
She never thought that the "conclusive evidence" that Ah Xun mentioned in his previous life could be a mere handwritten letter imitated by Gu Xizhi.
There must be other means and secrets!
If everything could be solved by getting rid of Gu Xizhi, that would be easy.
The difficulty lies in the fact that, besides Gu Xizhi, no one knows who else is holding the "evidence" of the previous life and is waiting in the dark for an opportunity to act.
Rather than sitting and waiting to die with something stuck in my throat, I might as well take advantage of the fact that everything is still under my control, cripple Gu Xizhi's hand, and force her to follow the path of her previous life ahead of time!
If you want to destroy someone, you must first make him crazy.
She and A Xun had already prepared the jar and cast the net, just waiting for Gu Xizhi and the people behind the scenes to come in!
