Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Qiao Xi looked at Gu Zheng in surprise. “What are you gonna do?”

Gu Zheng smiled meaningfully. “You’ll know. Be sure to watch the news tomorrow.”

Qiao Xi: “…” Why did she find this a little scary?

Alright, she would watch the news tomorrow!

“It’s getting late, let’s rest,” Gu Zheng said softly.

Qiao Xi did indeed feel tired. After dealing with two families in a row today, her physical strength had already been exhausted.

After returning to her room, Qiao Xi turned on her computer and logged into Black Tide’s account. She stared at the screen seriously.

…

The room was bright now, but Gu Zheng’s vision was gray.

He had a splitting headache. He relied on his extraordinary consciousness to stay awake and clenched his fists.

Gu Zheng’s footsteps were heavy. He pulled open the drawer and took out a bottle. He casually shook out a few pills and swallowed them.

Song Shijing pushed open the door and hurried in. “President, what’s wrong?”

Gu Zheng bit his lip to suppress his pain. “It’s alright, I’ll be fine in a while.”

Song Shijing looked grim. “President, you ran into the Lu family when you went to Qingyuan Pavilion today?”

Gu Zheng said in a low voice, “Yeah. Go handle it.”

Seeing that he was in so much pain, Song Shijing could not bear to leave. However, at the thought of the arrogant Lu family, he nodded coldly. “Yes!”

Gu Zheng leaned against the sofa, his eyes dull. He rolled up his sleeve and watched the red line on his arm grow longer and longer until it reached his palm.

…

The next morning, a piece of news spread throughout Li City.

[Last night, a drunk woman accidentally fell into the river. Fortunately, a passerby rescued her in time and saved her life.

[According to the passerby, this woman was driving under the influence and also suffers from mental illness as she was shouting the entire time. The public should take good care of their families who are sick and not let them drive under the influence.]

Qiao Xi clicked on the news. Although the face of the woman in the photo was pixelated, she could still tell that it was Lu Xiang.

Some passersby had even taken a video and uploaded it online. After Lu Xiang was rescued, she was drenched and looked extremely disheveled.

Before she fell into the river, the surveillance cameras had captured her suddenly stepping on the accelerator. he shouted,

“Get lost! Aren’t you dead?

“You’ve been dead for so many years, so why are you still looking for me? I wasn’t the one who caused your death! Get lost!

“Dad wanted to harm you, not me! Every grievance has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor. Why are you looking for me? Go away! Go away! Ah!”

Immediately after, the car lost control and drove down the bridge. The surveillance footage also ended there.

At this moment, Qin An called. “Little Six, have you seen the news? Madam Jiang suddenly fell sick while driving yesterday. She was talking nonsense when she drove down into the river.”

Qiao Xi said, “I saw it. How’s the matter I asked you to investigate going along?”

Qin An was stunned.

Little Six had already logged into Black Tide’s account and dug out all of Lu Xiang’s secrets. She also investigated the Lu family’s past thoroughly.

However, after Lu Xiang married into the Jiang family, all the information seemed to have vanished. They only found out that Lu Xiang and President Jiang had attended a banquet five years ago, then they went to the Lu family’s house to attend another banquet.

Qiao Xi thought that she had missed out on something, so she got Qin An to help her investigate.

Qin An was a little hesitant. “You might not be aware of the current relationship between Lu Xiang and President Jiang.”

Qiao Xi sneered. “They’re husband and wife. Looking at Lu Xiang’s proud expression, they should be very close. After all, she must naturally cherish a man whom she snatched away from someone else.”

When she spoke about this, Qiao Xi’s face was filled with anger. “Lu Xiang is especially good at pretending to be a good person. She even showed off how happy she was in front of Gu Zheng. She even has the cheek to brag about the happiness she stole?”

Qiao Xi was angry because her heart ached for Gu Zheng. The more she spoke, the more she could vent out her anger. “Did Lu Xiang adopt Lu Yan because she wanted to use this opportunity to suppress Gu Zheng? However, she clearly knows that Gu Zheng is…”

“Little Sixth.”

Qin An knew about the past between the Gu family and the Lu family. It was also because of his grandfather that he knew about the relationship between Gu Zheng and Eldest Miss Lu. He also understood the anger in Qiao Xi’s heart.

However…

He thought it was necessary to tell Little Six about this.. He asked, “Gu Zheng didn’t tell you?”
