Chapter 12 Uprooting the Qiao Family
Drug-induced seizures.
Qu Ge's consciousness was in a daze. She only vaguely saw a familiar man beside her calling her name anxiously.
"Qu Ge, wake up!"
"We'll be at the hospital soon, just hold on a little longer!"
Rong Zhoubai didn't know what Qiao Wanwan had done to Qu Ge before he arrived.
Seeing Qu Ge groaning in pain in his arms with his whole body burning, he was extremely anxious.
Driven by the drugs, Qu Ge involuntarily reached out and hooked her arms around his neck.
Her kiss was like a feather caressing along his collarbone inch by inch...
Rong Zhoubai almost lost control.
God knows how much he wants to eat this woman up right now!
But he couldn't do such a stupid thing as taking advantage of someone's misfortune.
The moment before she touched his lips, he pushed Qu Ge away with force.
"Calm down! Don't let yourself regret it!"
At Rong Zhoubai's urging, the driver ran through several red lights and finally stopped the car in front of the hospital.
Rong Zhoubai rushed into the emergency room holding Qu Ge. His bloodshot eyes scared the doctor in the clinic.
The doctor did not dare to delay and immediately checked Qu Ge's condition.
Fortunately, apart from being forced to drink a few sips of medicine by Qiao Wanwan, Qu Ge was not seriously injured.
In the ward.
Qu Ge was on an IV drip, but still restless.
She held Rong Zhoubai's hand tightly, leaving him no chance to escape.
The burning temperature of her palm made Rong Zhubai's restless mind unable to calm down.
Rong Zhubai frowned and asked the nurse: "Didn't she already get the injection? Why is she still like this?"
"Why rush? It takes time for the medicine to take effect!"
The nurse glared at Rong Zhoubai unhappily.
Ever since he rushed into the clinic holding a drugged woman, she felt that this man was not a good person.
Looking at the way he's dressed, he doesn't look like a serious person at all.
The brass knuckles he was wearing seemed to be stained with blood...
Don’t hope he’s some gangster thug!
The nurse frowned, quickly left the ward, and immediately called the police.
"Hello, this is the Central Hospital! There's a man who looks strange..."
When the police arrived, Qu Ge's condition had recovered a lot.
Her body was no longer as hot as before, and her complexion gradually returned to normal.
But her consciousness was still not clear, and she was always drowsy and talking nonsense.
"Don't come over here...don't hurt my mother!"
"Help! Get away from me..."
Seeing Qu Ge's condition, the police officer stared at Rong Zhoubai with more suspicion.
"Who are you to her? Please tell us what happened!"
"I'm her uncle."
Rong Zhoubai did it without thinking.
After hearing this, the police officers looked at him even more strangely.
Rong Zhoubai explained everything that happened tonight.
At that time in the evening, he received a call from Qu Ge and heard strange noises coming from her side.
He guessed that she was in danger, so he rushed to save her.
The police officer verified what happened.
The police officer who answered the call also confirmed that they had indeed received an emergency call from Qu Ge's number, but because no one spoke on the line after they picked up the phone, they treated it as a prank.
After carefully checking Rong Zhoubai's identity information, the police officers dispelled their suspicions about him and left.
Rong Zhubai raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
The tossing and turning of this night really made him feel annoyed.
At this moment, a woman's weak voice came from behind.
"Where is this..."
"woke up?"
Seeing Qu Ge finally open his eyes, Rong Zhubai breathed a sigh of relief.
He immediately handed her the dried water.
"The doctor said you need to drink more water now to get the medicine out of your body."
"Thanks……"
Qu Ge reached out to take it. The water was still warm, just the right temperature for drinking.
My whole head felt like it was about to explode and was in excruciating pain.
She tried hard to recall everything that happened before she lost consciousness, and the fragments of her memory gradually pieced together.
"Where is Qiao Wanwan? Was she caught?!" She grabbed Rong Zhoubai and asked anxiously.
Rong Zhoubai spread his hands: "She should be with Qiao Xu'an now."
"Why……"
Qu Ge clenched his fists, anger suddenly burning in his eyes.
Even though it wasn't the first time, she still wasn't willing to give up!
Why does Qiao Wanwan do so many ridiculous things yet always manage to escape legal punishment?!
Just because she's the daughter of the Qiao family, can she treat human life as worthless?!
When Qu Ge thought about Qiao Xuan trying his best to clean up the mess for her, she felt more and more ridiculous.
Are poor people like her only fit to be tools for the entertainment of the rich?
In this rotten world, what should she do to give her true fairness?
Qu Ge bit her lips hard until she could taste rust between her teeth and lips, and her nails dug deep into her palms, but she seemed not to feel any pain at all.
Rong Zhoubai understood what she was thinking at the moment.
"Don't worry. The Qiao family is a big, deep-rooted family, and it's not easy to deal with them. However, we've made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate last time. I think you won't have to wait too long for the results you want."
"Really?"
Rong Zhoubai's words were like a shot of adrenaline, which immediately gave Qu Ge some hope back.
She reorganized her thoughts and repeatedly told herself not to be impatient.
Rong Zhoubai is right.
The Qiao family is like a cancer buried deep underground. To eradicate it completely, one must be patient...
After dawn.
Rong Zhoubai sent Qu Ge home.
Sitting in the car, seeing that she was still frowning, Rong Zhubai took out the gift he had prepared for her.
"For you."
A brand new mobile phone appeared in front of Qu Ge like magic.
Qu Ge was stunned for a moment.
"When did you buy it? Weren't you in the hospital the whole time?"
He was clearly with her all night long, so how could he have the time to buy a cell phone?
Rong Zhoubai raised his eyebrows and laughed at her: "What era is it now? You don't have to go out in person to buy things, right? Isn't it better to order takeout?"
"oh……"
Qu Ge came to his senses and thought that he had probably taken too many medicines in the hospital recently, and his brain had become dull.
She took the new phone and wanted to return the money to him.
But on second thought, Rong Zhoubai was working for He Qing, and most of the money he spent was He Qing's.
It was that irresponsible old scumbag who owed it to them, mother and daughter.
She didn't have to pay him back.
She accepted it with peace of mind.
As soon as I turned on the phone, I heard Rong Zhoubai say with a smile: "I've set it up for you. I'm still your emergency contact."
The man smiled with a sly look on his face, and the words "You're welcome" were clearly written on his face.
Qu Ge curled his lips, a little embarrassed: "If you mind, I can delete it."
For the past three years, the emergency contact in Qu Ge’s phone has always been Qiao Xuan.
Until yesterday, when she threw away the ring, she also changed this setting.
Qu Shunzhi is gone.
At the moment, apart from Rong Zhoubai, Qu Ge couldn't think of whose number to fill in on that line.
Looking back now...
Fortunately, she casually filled in Rong Zhoubai's number yesterday.
Otherwise, she would have probably been killed by Qiao Wanwan at this moment.
Qu Ge frowned unconsciously.
Just as he was about to change his number, Rong Zhoubai stopped him.
"Who said I minded? I was praising you for your good taste." The corners of his mouth curled up, "Remember to come to me next time if you have something to do."
Before he finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"You can find me if you have nothing to do."
“…”
Go upstairs.
In front of the Qu family's door.
The door, whose lock had just been changed yesterday, hung there precariously.
Qu Ge knew without asking that it must have been Qiao Xuan who had been there.
That madman!
Brother and sister are birds of a feather!
Suddenly, Qu Ge remembered that the unfinished form was still on the computer.
She immediately rushed into the bedroom.
The garbage scattered all over the ground confirmed her concerns.
If Qiao Xu'an had discovered that she was leaving, would he...
But they have broken up now, why should he interfere with her choice!
Qu Ge shook his head, trying hard to get rid of the shadows left by Qiao Xuan from his mind.
Rong Zhoubai looked at the broken door and was really worried about Qu Ge living here alone.
If Qiao Xian can tear down her door today, he can tear down the building tomorrow.
"I'll find you a new place to live," he suggested.
Qu Ge was not stupid, she knew that his worry was not groundless.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
"Thank you for your help."
…
Nishikawa Yue.
Qiao Xuan opened his eyes and saw a woman lying beside him.
I'm still drunk from last night.
He habitually called out, "Xiaoge, pour me a glass of water."
I have a splitting headache.
Qiao Xuan reached out and pressed the temple that was about to explode.
The next second, Qiao Wanwan's crying voice rang in his ears: "Brother...how could you mistake me for her?!"
"Wanwan?! Why are you here..."
When Qiao Wanwan's face was clearly seen, Qiao Xuan was so scared that he almost rolled off the bed.
He stared in disbelief, as if this was a dream that was too real!
His forehead was throbbing, and the intense pain told him that this was not an illusion.
He was really with Qiao Wanwan last night!
Those memories mixed with alcohol suddenly rushed into my mind...
As he recalled everything, Qiao Xuan's face became visibly paler.
He kept trying to deny the ridiculous mistake he had made.
"impossible……"
"This is impossible..."
But now, nothing can be said.
Seeing his resistant reaction, Qiao Wanwan felt heartbroken.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and she cried until her eyes were swollen. "Do you hate me so much? You really don't want to be with me?!"
"No, Wanwan! I..."
It’s not that I don’t want to.
No!
But Qiao Xuan couldn't say this.
Seeing Qiao Wanwan crying like a tearful person, he felt heartbroken.
But now he didn't even have the courage to go up to her and coax her.
The situation was deadlocked, and even the air seemed to freeze.
Just when Qiao Xuan didn't know what to do, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang.
The ringing of the cell phone broke the awkward silence in the room.
Qiao Xuan picked up the phone and rushed out of the bedroom as if he had been granted amnesty.
Behind her, Qiao Wanwan's hysterical crying almost shook the building apart.
On the other end of the phone, Baichuan hesitated.
"Mr. Qiao, I've checked. Miss Qu did go to the tube-shaped building on Yongkang Road yesterday, but..."
"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Someone saw her leaving with a man. That man was the one you asked me to check yesterday..."
Bai Chuan hadn't finished speaking yet.
Qiao Wanwan burst out of the bedroom crying, shouting, "What happened last night was all Qu Ge's fault! She tricked me into going to the filthy slums! She drugged me and had people beat me up!"
On the phone, Bai Chuan heard Qiao Wanwan's voice, hesitated for a moment, and then added a sentence.
"Mr. Qiao, the man who was injured and unconscious in the rental house last night has woken up. He said he was a friend of the young lady. Judging from his description of his attire, the person who knocked him out should be Rong Zhoubai."
Let the day be bright!
Qiao Xian crushed the name between his teeth in anger.
"Bring this pair of bastards to me immediately!"
