Gu Zheng pushed open the door to the basement and slowly walked down the stairs.

Qiao Xi looked at his back as the door closed, cutting off all sounds. The grudge between them should be resolved by Gu Zheng himself.

After two hours, Gu Zheng pushed the door open and walked out. His body was stained with the smell of blood, and one could see traces of blood on his black suit. He elegantly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood on his hand.

Then, he sat on the chair and closed his eyes while panting slightly. After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, they had already returned to a faint brown color.

For the past two hours, Qiao Xi had been waiting outside. It was only when Gu Zheng pushed the door open that she heard Huang Lilan’s cries. Her painful and crazy roars resounded throughout the entire third floor.

“I won’t let her die so easily,” Gu Zheng said casually. “This is only one-tenth of what she gave me. She’ll have to endure more.”

After leaving, Gu Zheng returned to the bedroom and threw away his clothes. He took a shower and changed into a clean set of clothes before the smell of blood gradually dissipated.

This was the first time Gu Zheng had attacked Huang Lilan, and it was also the last time. Because Huang Lilan’s blood was too dirty, it was not worth it for him to personally beat her up again. From now on, Huang Lilan would live in pain on the third floor of the underground. She would live a life worse than death. This was the best punishment for her.

…

Li City, Situ family’s old residence.

The old man, who was over a hundred years old, was still in high spirits as he sat on the main seat and drank tea.

Situ Jian walked forward. “Grandpa, you know about the Gu family’s matter, right?! President Gu is indeed a capable person. He actually got someone from the Medical Association to testify for him. He can’t be underestimated. Moreover, I heard that the Tang family’s daughter brought a fake Thousand Words Life to a birthday banquet and was exposed. Miss Qiao, on the other hand, offered the real thing.”

Old Master Situ nodded, his expression unchanged. He had lived for a hundred years. To him, nothing could cause waves in his heart anymore.

Situ Jian continued, “Luo Qing has already sent someone to deliver the designs of the porcelain vase. You can choose your favorite from it. Moreover, Young Master Luo said that the designs were drawn by Miss Qiao.”

Old Master Situ slowly opened his eyes due to his surprise. That girl looked to be in her 20s, yet she knew how to design hollow porcelain vases?

It was fine that the people from the Medical Association respected her, but she actually knew how to design porcelain vases?

He smiled. “Let me see it.”

The beautiful roses on one of the design drafts made one feel relaxed. Old Master Situ nodded in satisfaction. “The design is not bad. It seems that Miss Qiao like roses a lot?”

“I’m not too sure. Maybe it’s because the item her mother left behind is the Heart of Rose, so it’s reflected in the design.”

“Then let’s go with this rose design!”

Old Master Situ pointed at the rose design. This was the first time he had seen someone carve roses on a hollowed-out porcelain vase. However, he did not find it strange at all.

“Yes!” Situ Jian carefully put away the design and was about to leave when he heard the old master say, “Wait.”

“That young lady from the Tang family has a bad temper. Go and remind her that the Tang family is a scholarly family. If they’re destroyed by a 20-year-old girl, they’ll definitely regret it.”

Situ Jian: “…” The old master was stubborn but soft-hearted. Actually, his heart ached for Miss Qiao, so he asked him to warn Tang Ruge.

After that, Tang Ruge received a warning from the Situ family. She did not think that this matter was related to Qiao Xi and just thought that the Situ family did not like her actions.

However, they were clearly meddling in other people’s affairs! She had not hurt the Situ family’s interests! What right did they have to interfere?!

She gritted her teeth as anger burned in her heart. Then, she dialed a number. “Help me find the top hacker!”

Dark Net.

Mu Ming’s younger sister, Mu Ling, had always wanted to compete with Black Tide. However, she kept running into obstacles. Resentment grew in her heart. At that moment, she happened to see a notice. Someone was looking for the top hacker and offering 10 million yuan for the job.

Mu Ling had a look of disdain. “You want to get the top hacker with just 10 million? Mo Yuan and Black Tide won’t care about this bit of money!”

Mu Ming smiled and said, “So, you admit that you’re not a top hacker but Mo Yuan and Black Tide are?”

Mu Ling was unhappy and rolled her eyes at him. She clicked on the order. “I want to see who the other party is. Why are they looking for a top hacker?”
