Gu Zheng needed to go to the company. Qiao Xi got out of the car halfway and went to Black Tideâs base to look up some information.
The base was in the suburbs where there were few people around. There were no surveillance cameras around, which was enough to fool people.
After getting out of the car, she turned into an alley. After she left, a few people suddenly appeared behind her.
âB*tch! Itâs her!â
âEven Rou Rou fainted from anger. Letâs teach her a lesson and take revenge for Rou Rou!â
Qiao Xi was just about to turn when she was suddenly bumped by someone. She supported herself against the wall and stood still, but the ring on her finger slipped off.
Then, a slap rained down.
Qiao Xiâs figure flashed to avoid it, and her gaze was slightly cold.
This was a dead end. There was nowhere to run, and the five of them attacked from the front and back.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to sweep across everyone with her gaze, then she indifferently lowered her head to pick up the ring.
âB*tch! Youâre the one who harmed Rou Rou! You deserve to die!â
âLetâs attack her together and kill her. There are no surveillance cameras here. Even if they find us, thereâs no evidence!â
Qiao Xi was about to pick up the ring when someone picked up a brick and attacked her. However, the target was not her but the ring.
It was the ring Gu Zheng gave her!
The ring was covered by the debris of the brick, and they once again attacked Qiao Xi with swinging rods.
Qiao Xiâs eyes turned cold as she reached out to grab the rod and pulled it forcefully.
âAh!
Crack!
The person holding the stick grabbed his wrist and screamed in pain.
âDamn! She still dares to fight back?! Letâs attack together!â
Qiao Xiâs eyes narrowed. Besides the rods, they also had two sabers in their hands that glinted coldly in the night.
One of the boys looked young. His eyes were fierce as he played with the knife in his hand. âNo wonder Lu Yan likes you. You indeed have the ability to seduce men. However, you made Rou Rou faint from anger, so you have to pay the price!â
Only then did Qiao Xi know why Lu Yan and the Qiao family canceled their collaboration. She also found out that Qiao Rou had fainted. That was why they came to take revenge on her.
She silently pressed the button on her bag to record everything that was happening.
A young lady shouted excitedly, âItâs too easy for her to die just like this. We should think of how to torture her. Why donât we take off all her clothes and take a few photos? Then, we can slowly torture her to death.â
Qiao Xiâs expression was composed. âMurder is against the law.â
They instantly roared with laughter when they heard Qiao Xiâs words.
âYouâre too funny. So what if itâs against the law? If you make Rou Rou unhappy, weâll kill you. You canât escape today!â
Qiao Rou was vicious and merciless. This time, she was even using minors to kill people. She was simply crazy.
They laughed maniacally. âBefore you die, Iâll destroy your face and body. Who asked you to snatch Rou Rouâs man and shares?!â
âIsnât it a pity to just kill her? She looks pretty to me. Why donât we have a good time together first?â
Qiao Xi endured the feeling of vomiting, and her eyes were icy cold.
These people had gone mad!
She thought that Qiao Rou was only good at pretending, but she did not expect her to come up with such a sinister plan.
Since Qiao Rou was looking for trouble, she could not blame her for being heartless.
At this moment, an older girl shouted fiercely, âRou Rou said that no matter if itâs Qiao Corporation or outstanding men, they all belong to her. If you snatch them from her, only death awaits you!â
She took out a dagger from her waist and stabbed it toward Qiao Xi.
âAh!
A scream sounded as the girl screamed in pain.
A tall man kicked her in the stomach, and the girl fell heavily. The knife in her hand fell to the floor with a bang, making her face twist in pain.
Gu Zhengâs footsteps were heavy, and he looked dignified. His deep eyes were filled with coldness as he scrutinized the five people.
A boy gritted his teeth and said, âHe came alone. We can deal with him, so thereâs no need to be afraid of him. After we kill this man, weâll take Qiao Xi away and slowly torture her. Even if weâre captured in the end, Rou Rou will save us.â
As soon as he finished speaking, the boy unscrewed a bottle with a skull drawn on it. Qiao Xi immediately knew what it was.
Gu Zhengâs gaze was icy cold as he quickly rushed forward. He grabbed Qiao Xiâs waist before turning around to deliver a heavy blow to the boy.
The corrosive liquid spilled onto the floor with a sizzling sound.
The boyâs face was splashed with the liquid. He cried loudly and kept cursing.
Qiao Xi bent down to pick up the ring, but Gu Zheng grabbed her waist tightly.
âGu Zhengâ¦â
âYeahâ¦â
Gu Zhengâs eyes lowered as the two of them looked at each other, causing Qiao Xiâs heart to ache. She revealed an aggrieved expression. âGu Zheng, it was fortunate that you came. Otherwise, I would have been killed by them!â
Unexpectedly, Gu Zheng did not snort like usual. Instead, he hugged her waist tightly and said in a low voice, âDonât be afraid, Iâm here.â
