Chapter 127: Is it fake or real?
In a dim secret room.
A tall figure stood with his back to the light.
The light fell behind him, not illuminating his face, but one could clearly see that the man was holding a paternity test report in his hand, confirming that the contents were correct.
The man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Heh." A strange laugh was heard immediately.
The secret room was decorated like a banquet hall except for the dim lighting.
Another man was leaning back on the red leather sofa.
He held a black pistol in his hand, on which was engraved a totem representing his identity.
It was obvious that he had a lot of affection for this pistol. He wiped it repeatedly with a clean handkerchief, as if he could wipe off the blood stains on the gun.
"Mr. Xie, Miss Xie survived and was not killed. This is really something to be thankful for."
"Why do you still doubt her identity?"
"Why, are you worried that she will find out your secrets? Are you worried that she is not Xie Shiyuan, and will find out your secrets and kill you?"
"Mr. Xie, it turns out you are afraid of something too."
Xie Tingke took out a lighter and burned the appraisal report in his hand.
“Everyone has something they’re afraid of.”
"Mr. Zhou, don't you have any?"
Zhou Zongzheng wiped his pistol and smiled strangely.
"What I'm afraid of now is... Miss Xie. Once again, she has exceeded my expectations. She is not dead, and neither are you."
"After something like that happened, it's no wonder you suddenly became suspicious of her. If it were me, I would have dissected her. I don't believe in the idea of luck. She dared to stop the car, which was like sending herself to death. People who were doomed to die should not have survived."
It was because Xie Shiyuan survived.
Congratulations to the little girl, they are meeting again.
A pair of harmless, gentle eyes flashed through my mind.
She would look at him with horror, as if she were afraid.
I'm afraid she has already seen through his thoughts. Instead of confronting him head-on, it's better to go along with him and see what he is going to do.
He wants to kill Xie Tingke.
That's what got her to see.
What he didn't expect was...she would rush towards Xie Tingke regardless of the danger.
Despite its small body, it has amazing explosive power.
Not like an animal.
It looks more like a little monster.
The weird look on Zhou Zongzhen's face was dimly reflected by the flickering candlelight in the secret room. His handsome face looked like an exquisite oil painting inlaid on the wall in the ancient Middle Ages.
"The Zhou family is working with a pharmaceutical company to research a new drug. I wonder if she will die if it's injected into her?"
As the words fell, the candlelight flickered.
Xie Tingke turned around suddenly, his sharp eagle eyes shot out like a sword, "She is innocent. You said you wanted Xie's wealth, not their lives."
Zhou Zongzheng, "What I said can be overturned at any time. Is this the first day you met me?"
He suddenly stood up, picked up the candle on the table, and walked forward a few steps.
A thick wall.
The man pushed lightly with his hand and entered a series of passwords on the mechanism on the wall.
The black wall suddenly turned over.
Under the candlelight, the area behind the wall looked like a mourning hall, filled with tablets.
Under the candlelight, each tablet seemed to be stained with scarlet blood.
A cold wind blew.
Zhou Zongzhen's tall figure looked like a ghost walking into hell.
"When I was a child, I didn't understand why everyone wanted to be the head of the family. Later I learned that it was a life-saving talisman. Only by becoming the head of the family and controlling power can you protect your family."
"But the family members I sheltered are gone, so what is power? It is the devil who controls the fate of this world."
"We do all kinds of business and have no right to refuse. From the moment we take over this position, we take over the resources handed over by the previous generation."
"You know what I'm missing? A piece of research that's been hidden."
"The medical company founded by Bai Jiashu's grandfather developed a new drug and virus. Once it was released, it generated trillions of dollars in revenue. My father and grandfather worked hard and are about to get the research."
"But at the critical moment, it was hidden by that old man. He would rather die than hide the results."
"I don't think he would hide something so valuable, but would reveal it at an appropriate time. The old man still has a grandson who is still alive. He should have left something for Bai Jiashu to save his life. Otherwise, with his frail body, he would not have lived to this day."
"The family elders asked me to get that thing, and then I can kill that person with my own hands. Otherwise, they will hide that person."
"Have you ever had a nightmare? Do you know what kind of scene you dream about when you close your eyes?"
A pair of eerie black eyes seemed to penetrate the dim light of the candle, like a cold dagger piercing straight into Xie Tingke's heart.
Xie Tingke looked at the tablets, and gradually, an unknown light covered his eyes.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
Zhou Zongzheng raised his index finger and placed it against his lips.
"You did something you shouldn't have done. Because of a little cheap charity, you had thoughts you shouldn't have had."
Xie Tingke's eyes suddenly changed, as if some secret thoughts of his had been discovered.
Zhou Zongzheng would not know what happened at the banquet.
But he seemed to see through it.
"People like us don't deserve to be loved by anyone, nor do we expect anyone to love us."
"You have always played the role of Xie Tingke very well."
"But don't forget... If you want to take over the Xie family, you must not arouse Mrs. Xie's suspicion. The initial paternity test report confirmed your identity, but the next test report..."
"Are you Xie Tingke... or?"
He didn't finish his words.
As the candle went out.
Everything fell silent.
It seemed as if no one had ever been in the empty secret room.
...
For a whole week, Xie Shiyuan didn't see Xie Tingke.
I heard from Special Assistant Zhang that he suddenly went abroad.
The night before she left, she went to meet Bai Jiashu.
Take the initiative to ask a man to meet at a hotel.
I took some covert measures so that no one would find out.
Bai Jiashu arrived at the room first.
Xie Shiyuan was half an hour late.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard a cough.
The man stood in front of the French window, holding a cup of warm water that did not seem to be in line with his status.
Xie Shiyuan hugged the man's thin waist from behind.
Bai Jiashu patted her hand, her fair little hand still wrapped in a bandage, and his eyes darkened again.
Xie Shiyuan, "The news said you coughed up blood. Was it fake or real?"
Bai Jiashu: "I'm pretending."
Xie Shiyuan, "Because... you don't want to get married?"
"Yeah." Bai Jiashu's lips curled up slightly, "They all believed it, only you didn't."
