It was not until this moment that Xia Xingchen truly believed what Gong Bingye said.
She reached out to Gong Bingye in pain and said with difficulty: "Give... give me the antidote, please... please!"
Gong Bingye squatted in front of her, shaking the white porcelain bottle in front of her eyes, "If you want the antidote, you can. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the girl, I will give you the antidote immediately."
"Okay, I... I'll say... Xia Xingchen is in... the basement at the edge of Lidu." Xia Xingchen spoke with difficulty.
Lidu...the basement at the edge?
He had never noticed that there was a basement at the very edge of Lidu.
He confirmed: "Is what you said true?"
Xia Xingchen kept scratching herself, clutching her heart, and said in agony, "Look at me... in this... state. Would I lie... to you?"
He mobilized so many people to look for her, and searched so many places, but to his surprise, the girl was actually right next to him.
While Gong Bingye was concentrating, Xia Xingchen snatched the porcelain bottle from his hand, quickly opened the cork, and drank it in one gulp.
Upon hearing this, Yi Kai hurriedly said to Gong Bingye, "Prince, hold her back first. We'll go and see if what she said is true."
Gong Bingye nodded, "Alright, call me as soon as you get there."
Yikai: “Okay.”
The three of them nodded knowingly and left on the boat.
The antidote given by Gong Bingye really worked. Not long after Xia Xingchen took it, the itching on his body gradually disappeared, and the pain in his internal organs also subsided.
She also stood up again in the boat.
Seeing this, Cui Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief.
"If they go now, it might be too late!" Xia Xingchen, who had recovered, seemed to have died once before and was not afraid of anything anymore. He even began to provoke Gong Bingye.
At this time, Mingjie might have already dealt with Xia Xingchen.
Gong Bingye vaguely sensed something was wrong, "What do you mean?"
Xia Xingchen shrugged. "It's nothing special. I just wanted to remind you."
Gong Bingye narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "Who are you? What's your problem with that girl?"
It actually made her hate the girl so much.
He even went to great lengths to pretend to be a maid, trying to take away everything that belonged to her!
"I won't change my name. My last name is Xia, so my name is Xia Tian." Xia Tian continued, "Xia Xingchen and I don't have any grudges against each other. The reason I hate her so much is entirely because of you."
Gong Bingye frowned unhappily.
Xia Tian continued, "You are the man I like, and you should also like me, but you and that bitch Xia Xingchen are in love with each other."
"Since you two are in love with each other, I can only pretend to be her in order to win your love."
This reason was hard for Gong Bingye to accept.
"If you are sick, go to the psychiatric department." Gong Bingye was very unhappy.
He hasn't even seen the true appearance of this woman, so what's the point of talking about love?
Xia Tian smiled, then she deliberately moved closer to Gong Bingye and said proudly and provocatively, "It's not me who has a mental illness, it's Xia Xingchen."
Gong Bingye turned around and gave her a deep and cold look.
Xia Tian was shocked, but pretended to be calm on the surface. "Don't look at me like that. I'm just telling the truth."
She took two steps back, putting some distance between herself and Gong Bingye, and found an excuse to escape. "I've already told you where Xia Xingchen is, and you've already punished me. We owe each other nothing."
Having said that, she was about to leave.
Gong Bingye stared at Xia Tian's graceful back with a deep look in his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's not up to you to decide whether I owe you money or not."
The next second, Xia Tian felt his eyes go dark.
Looking at Xia Tian who was lying on the boat, Gong Bingye's eyes were filled with terror. "You hurt this little girl so much, how can you just wipe it out with just one sentence?"
"Someone, drag him away!"
After cleaning up the mess here, he immediately asked the captain to turn around and dock.
As soon as the boat docked, he asked his bodyguards to lock up Cui Jingshu and Xia Tian first, and he hurried to Li Du's basement.
There has been no news since Xiao and the others left, and no one knows whether they have seen the girl.
He was a little impatient, so he called Xiao, and Xiao said they had not reached the basement yet.
Fifteen minutes later, Xiao called and Gong Bingye answered immediately, but Xiao's next words made his expression completely change.

Li Biao, Li Yan and Wang Jian have now become completely unemployed. Gong Bingye gave them a large sum of money before, and now that they have lost their jobs, they don’t have to worry about having no money to spend.
Although Gong Bingye kicked them out that day, he didn't cruelly ask them to return all their money.
Otherwise, even if their lives were taken right now, they would not be able to come up with so much money.
However, Gong Bingye drove them out, and they were still spending Gong Bingye's money, which made Li Biao feel uneasy.
Look, the three brothers go out to eat and drink almost every day.
This evening was just like any other.
The three of them ate and talked.
Li Yan said, "It's unnecessary for the Crown Prince to give us this money to protect Miss Xia. The Crown Prince is extremely powerful, who would dare to offend him?"
"That's fine, but Miss Xia is so skilled that it makes us three brothers look so incompetent. How can we not protect her?"
Wang Jian had a different opinion. "No matter how skilled Miss Xia is, as long as we accept the money, we should fulfill our responsibilities."
"But then again, we really didn't protect Miss Xia every time. The prince kicked us out, so we deserved it!"
Li Yan glared at Wang Jian, furious. "Are you stupid? How can you be so honest?"
"If you really feel we haven't fulfilled our responsibilities, just follow her 24 hours a day!"
Hearing this, Wang Jian was a little unhappy and started arguing with Li Yan, "Li Yan, if you say that, it's unreasonable."
"We are not right, and we can't talk about it yet!"
“…”
The noise of the two people arguing annoyed Li Biao. He slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table and shouted at them angrily: "Stop arguing, don't you think I'm not annoyed enough?"
The two of them fell silent.
Li Biao calmed down and said, "Wang Jian is right. We have accepted their money and we should make them satisfied."
Hearing this, Wang Jian raised his chin high and looked at Li Yan with a smug look.
Li Yan snorted disdainfully and turned his gaze away.
At this time, Wang Jian asked: "Brother Biao, what do you think we should do next?"
Li Biao didn't know either. He shook his head and said, "We can only take it one step at a time."
He took a sip of wine, and the voices of two people at the table behind him caught his attention.
A: "Really? There's actually such a good thing?"
A: "But did you kill him?"
B: "Probably not. My skills are very professional."
