Chapter 1674 - 1674 Exhausting His Lifespan
1674 Exhausting His Lifespan
Four hours later, Gu Zheng finally arrived at Longwan Residential.
Xue Liang watched as he walked in. Anger surged to his head as he punched him hard. “Gu Zheng! You still dare to come back?!”
This punch landed heavily on Gu Zheng’s chest, and Gu Zheng could not help but grunt. It was not that Xue Liang’s fist was heavy, but he was indeed injured. Moreover, it was a gunshot wound. He left Li City and went to the capital because he did not want Qiao Xi to worry.
Qiao Xi was very sensitive to the smell of blood. If he had returned home on the day he was injured, he would definitely have been discovered by Qiao Xi. Coincidentally, the divine physician was injured in the capital, so he went straight to the capital.
Cold sweat broke out on Gu Zheng’s forehead after being punched, making Xue Liang a little surprised.
“Gu Zheng! Have you forgotten what you promised us? You said you’ll protect her, but she went missing and you’re the last to come back!
“Moreover, the group of people chasing after Little Six was most likely sent by the Brook family. Those people are after you. When she was being chased, you were accompanying Ji Tian in the hospital and even let news of it be posted online. You’re really shameless!”
Gu Zheng stood tall and gritted his teeth, but he did not say anything and let Xue Liang insult him.
Song Shijing could not stand it anymore. “Mr. Xue, our president…”
“Shut up!” Xue Liang roared to stop him, then looked coldly at Gu Zheng. “Let me tell you, after Little Six comes back this time, we’ll bring her away and let her decide if she wants to—”
“I know who took her away.” Gu Zheng suddenly interrupted Xue Liang.
Xue Liang instantly grabbed Gu Zheng’s arm and roared, “Tell me! Who took Little Six away?”
Gu Zheng’s voice was hoarse. “Huo Yuzhou.”
Xue Liang was dumbfounded. Gu Zheng had just returned to Li City, yet he was already sure that Huo Yuzhou had taken Little Six away? But if Huo Yuzhou had saved Little Six, why didn’t he call him? What exactly did he want?
At this moment, Xue Liang’s heart was a mess. He shook his head and chased away those distracting thoughts. The most important thing now was to find Little Six.
Xue Liang left in a hurry. Song Shiyu quickly helped Gu Zheng sit down. “Did your wound open?”
“I’m fine.”
Gu Zheng endured the pain and gritted his teeth. “I didn’t receive any news of the Brook family chasing after Xi Xi, but that person was able to arrive when Xi Xi was in danger. Only Huo Yuzhou could do that.”
With that, Gu Zheng suddenly bent down and frowned in pain.
Pfft!!!
He spat out a mouthful of blood, scaring Song Shijing so much that he turned pale. “President!”
“Doctor Jiang gave you the medicine to suppress the poison. You can see for the time being, but the medicine is too harsh. If this goes on, the poison will spread even faster!
As Song Shijing spoke, he felt bitter.
What right did Xue Liang have to say that the president did not care about Young Madam? There was no one in the world who cared about Young Madam more than the president. For Young Madam’s sake, he risked everything to return to Li City and used medicine to forcefully suppress the poison in his body. He was exhausting his lifespan, afraid that he would miss out on any clues.
At this moment, Gu Zheng knew very well in his heart that Huo Yuzhou liked Qiao Xi. There was admiration and possessiveness hidden in his eyes. Huo Yuzhou disobeyed the old master’s order and brought Qiao Xi away. This was enough to show how crazy this man was. Hence, he had to find Xi Xi as soon as possible.
Gu Zheng wiped the blood from the corner of his lips with his finger and ordered coldly, “Immediately send someone to search for Huo Yuzhou. Remember, you can’t let the Brook family discover you.”
“Uncle Sheng and Mr. Xia have already searched the entire Li City but haven’t found any traces of Young Madam. Where can Huo Yuzhou bring Young Madam?”
Gu Zheng’s eyes were slightly cold. After a long silence, he slowly said, “They must’ve set sail.”
Song Shijing was stunned for a moment before realizing that Li City was the president’s territory. He had spies everywhere, so Huo Yuzhou would not hide Young Madam in Li City. If she left from any of the roads in Li City that led to other provinces, she would definitely be noticed. However, she would not attract attention if she went out to sea.
However, the sea was so vast. How would they know where Huo Yuzhou would go?
…
At this moment, Qiao Xi opened her eyes again and looked at the time on her phone. She had already been trapped here for four days. During this period of time, Huo Yuzhou had not made things difficult for her. The servants were even more silent, afraid that she would get information out of them.
Huo Yuzhou had long warned those people that if anyone revealed any news to her, they would be thrown into the sea. The servants were so scared that they avoided her like she was a snake and did not dare to say a word.
