Xia Xiang couldn't suppress the coldness and ruthlessness in her eyes, and her voice was chillingly cold.
"President, immediately seal off the Cao residence and do not allow anyone to enter or leave."
"Alright, I'll go right away." Cao Cao knew the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly ordered the guards to seal off the entrances and exits.
After Xia Xiang finished speaking, she immediately called Siman to contact Hua Tuo and asked him to come back as soon as possible.
“Liu Bei, come here alone,” Xia Xiang said. “Take A Xiang to your room and don’t let anyone else touch her.”
"Guan Yu, escort Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang back to their room. Huang Zhong, stay here with me to protect the scene. Zhang Fei, go and gather the stewards and servants in Cao Cao's residence. Ma Chao, go to the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage."
"Yes," the others replied in unison.
After Xia Xiang finished speaking, she took out two evidence bags and put her cup and Sun Shangxiang's cup into them. She and Huang Zhong then carefully searched the rest of the terrace and found a set of footprints in a corner.
"Let's go, we have enough evidence." Xia Xiang said coldly.
"Siwu, you should change your clothes; they're covered in blood," Huang Zhong kindly reminded her, noticing her clothes.
"No need. I'm going to skin that person alive later, and I'll get splattered with blood again, so I won't waste another set of clothes," Xia Xiang said in a stern tone.
Huang Zhong: ......
"Just kidding," Xia Xiang said, trying to smooth things over as the conversation was going nowhere.
In the room where the doctor was staying, Hua Tuo had already examined her and found that Sun Shangxiang was fine, only a little weak.
Zhang Fei had already interrogated most of the stewards and servants, and Ma Chao had also identified the suspects based on the surveillance footage for further interrogation.
After comparing everyone's shoe prints, they still found nothing. Xia Xiang even compared her own shoe print. There was only one person in the entire Cao family whose shoe print could not be compared.
"Sister Ye, that's impossible. Zhao Lie has a problem with her leg, how could she go to the second floor?" Zhang Fei said on her behalf when he saw Xia Xiang's gaze fall on Gan Zhao Lie.
"Yes, yes, Miss Ye, how could I possibly poison Ah Xiang?" Gan Zhaolie said weakly, his voice trembling with tears.
Everyone:...
“You have misunderstood me,” Xia Xiang said calmly, but her eyes remained fixed on Gan Zhaolie. “Although I said that person should be executed, I am a good person.”
"I simply wish to ask Hua Tuo to treat Miss Gan Zhaolie's leg."
Gan Zhaolie watched with some fear as Xia Xiang walked towards him step by step. His gaze swept over everyone, lingering on Xiu for a second before he looked at Zhang Fei and shouted...
"Brother Bei, it wasn't me, I didn't do it."
"Miss Gan Zhaolie, we've only mentioned footprints and the second floor from beginning to end; we've never said Ah Xiang was poisoned," Cao Cao said in a deep voice.
Thanks to Xia Xiang's timely treatment, the consequences would have been unimaginable if Sun Shangxiang had died in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Gan Zhaolie's gentle expression changed instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"You forced me to do this!!!" Gan Zhaolie accused, "If I hadn't inquired at the Dong Han Academy beforehand, I would have been completely deceived by you!"
"I have no one to rely on but Brother Bei, but he doesn't acknowledge me and even conspired with you to deceive me!"
Gan Zhaolie's words silenced everyone except Xia Xiang.
"Then why don't you poison your brother Bei? Wouldn't it be faster to kill him? Or are you going to poison all the other girls your brother Bei meets in the future?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Gan Zhaolie, this is my fault. You can take out your grievances on me, but please don't hurt A Xiang," Xiu said with a heavy expression.
“Miss Gan Zhaolie…is coming for you…hehe—” Gan Zhaolie turned her head to look at Xiu, smiling sarcastically.
"Everyone, what's going on today? Why is the security so tight?" Xiao Qiao suddenly appeared at the door, looking at them huddled together, and asked somewhat angrily.
Cao Cao: !!!
Everyone: !!!
Taking advantage of the moment when everyone was stunned, Gan Zhaolie teleported directly to Xiao Qiao's side, took out a knife and held Xiao Qiao hostage.
"Don't move! Otherwise, I can't guarantee my hands won't shake!" Gan Zhaolie threatened, then grabbed Xiao Qiao and walked out.
Cao Cao exclaimed in alarm, "Don't move!"
